Steel Talks Remain Deadlocked As Bargaining Time Diminishes New York-(UPB-Steel con tract talks remained dead locked with only 9 more bar gaining days left for top-level negotiations to reach a peace ful settlement and avert a na tionwide strike at 12:01 a.m. July 1. In Pittsburgh, a top offi cial of one of the nation's largest steel firms said the industry has "made its final offer" in the current negotia tions. "We have mads a pro posal," the official said Fri day night. "We will take a strike rather than change that proposal." Recess Until Monday The official, who asked that his name be withheld, did not rule out the possibil ity of a wage increase, but he said the industry was united in its determination to prevent an increase in "employment costs." There was no meeting of the negotiations yesterday. After sitting around the bar gaining table for two hours Friday, the joint conference was recessed until 10 a.m. to morrow. Industry's chief negotiator, R. Conrad Cooper, . executive vice president of U.S. Steel Corp., had nothing to say on the impasse. And the only comment . of David J. Mc Donald, president of the Unit ed Steelworkers union, was that 'silence is golden" at this late stage in the negotia tions. After Monday's session, Cooper plans to go to Wash ington with Roger M. Blough, chairman of U.S. Steel, where they will meet Monday night with a group of liberal Dem ocrats. Last Monday night this group was addressed by McDonald, who briefed them on the status of the negotia tions. ' . The two negotiating teams, headed by Cooper and Mc Donald, are bargaining on an industry-wide - basis. Nego tiations have" been in prog ress since May 5. McDonald has been holding out for a "substantial" wage increase and other contract improvements. . Cooper has offered a one-year extension of the present? contract with no pay increases.' - ; I FABULOUS art ul49 ' FIAT "500" CONVERTIBLE Up to 53 utiles eer fal len, 2 cy'l.

I - Req. $795 Democrats Assure Action for Debt Bill 220 N. Bartlett -Next to Greyhound Depot- SP 3-4394 Washington -(UPD-Key Dem ocrats gave assurances yester day the Senate would act this month on House-approved leg islation to hike the national debt ceiling. The legislation must be passed by July 1 when the new fiscal year begins. The time table will be tight, how ever, because the Senate Fi nance committee plans no hearings on the proposal be fore the latter part of this week. Democratic Whip Mike Mansfield (Mont.) said he was confident the measure would receive prompt floor action as soon as the committee, headed by Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D Va.J approved it. : The House passed the bill 225-117 Friday after beating down a move, to send it back to its Ways and Means com mittee. The measure, asked by the Administration to give more leeway in management of the j huge national debt, would in- j crease the debf ceiling to a I new peacetime high of $295 j billion in the coming year. 1 The debt is expected to j climb from the present $286 billion to more than $293 bil lion by Dec. 15. The present legal ceiling of $288 billion expires at midnight June 30, when it will drop back to the permanent ceiling of $283 bil lion. The Senate was expected to go along not very enthusi astically with the temporary increase. Some efforts were expected, however, to give the President the $288 billion per manent ceiling as he re quested. If this attempt fails, the President almost certainly will have to return to Con gress in I960 - an election year - with another request for a debt limit increase.
