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.' - ;

of cars carrying Queen Eliza

ing their Canadian visit. The

"his" and "hers."
Washington OjPD The Sen
ate Rackets committee has
blanketed ; the country with
subpoenas . in . preparation for
the final phase of its massive
investigation of James R.
Hoffa and the Teamsters
union. .
Chief Counsel Robert F.
Kennedy told newsmen yester
day that witnesses will be
brought in from all parts of
the nation for hearings sched
uled to open next Thursday
and run for two weeks or
more.
The witness list . will be
headed by Hoffa himself and
five of his top lieutenants,
four international vice presi
dents and one international
trustee.
Appeared Before '
' All have appeared before
the committee before during
its more than two years of
digging into alleged corrup
tion and hoodlumism in Amer
ica's largest labor union
Kennedy said staff investi
gators -have collected a big
batch of new material to
spring on .the-Teamsters bos
ses, the bulk "of it having oc
curred since Hoffa was elected
president of the union in the
fall of 1937.
The inquiry is expected to
be the climax of the commit
tee's third year of operation
although a : couple of other
hearings likely will be held
before it closes up shop this
summer.
Hoffa Among First
Kennedy said Hoffa would
be among the first witnesses
and probably would return
near the end of the session.
He will be followed by Teams
ter vice Presidents John O'
Rourke of New York, John T.
(Sandy) O'Brien of Chicago,
Harold Gibbons of St. Louis
and Owen (Bert) Brennan of
tee Ray Cohen of Philadelphia
also' was booked for a return
engagement.
Kennedy declined to char
acterize this far in . advance
the new evidence about which
Hoffa will be questioned.
However, the committee was
expected to parade before him
some of the matters it has de
veloped since his last appear
ance in 1958.

corporation dropped a court
Corporation dropped a court
action which would have
blocked the transaction.
Springfield had sought an
injunction to delay the sale
pending outcome of a Lane
county circuit court trial
involving G e o r g i a-Pacific
and Booth-Kelly. The Spring
field firm is jointly owned by
those two.
Springfield' Plywood said
it dropped the suit because
the proposed sale contract

Plywood will assume all ob
ligations of Booth-Kelly aris
ing out of a 1940 agreement
which provides . for sale of

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.

Beer Halls Shut '
In Alrican Rioting
Durban, South Africa-OJPD-City
officials yesterday ord
ered all African beer halls
shut down for 10 days to pre
vent more rioting in the Afri
can quarters.
The municipal authorities
acted against the advice of ;
police who argued that clos- j
ing the halls would be taken
as an indication of victory by j
the African women who start- j
ed the bloody rioting two days
ago. They wanted the halls
closed to keep their men
home.
The violence resulted in
four Africans killed and
scores injured, one white po
liceman shot in the back and
more than 20 buildings!
burned, including a modern,
new high school. Fifty-seven ;
Africans were arrested.
Police said they wanted the
beer halls left open to help :
keep the African men quiet. ;
Both African nationalist
leaders and the police shared
the view that the rioting had
no organized political backing.
