The trade weekly estimated that workers have lost $270, 800,000 in wages. Company losses were estimated at S798.000.000 in sales and $152,000,000 in overhead, de- nreciation and salaries of n o n - production employees. The loss to the government in taxes was estimated at $180,- 000,000. Supply Adequate Now A heavy inventory of steel, adequate for at least three more weeks of near-normal operations, is keeping indus trial activity high. Trouble will come, when stocks get out of balance-perhaps with in a few days in isolated cases. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev 's impending vis it on Sept. 15 prompted spec ulation that more government pressure will be brought to end the strike. The magazine said some observers believe President Eisenhower will either exert enough pressure fronf behind the scenes to force a settlement or will call for the 90-day cooling off pe riod provided in the Taft Hartley act. . Steelmaking operations last week slipped to 12 per cent of capacity, off 0.02 per cent from the preceding week's revised rate. Production was about 340,000 ingot tons. July output was only 5,500,000 tons. Scrap Price Drops Steel's scrap price compos ite dropped 34 cents to $38.33 a gross ton. The trade consen sus is that the market will move up as soon as mills re sume normal operations. Metal working companies will spend $474,000,000 for metal cutting machine tools this year compared to $233, 000 last year-an increase of more than 100 per cent. This means an investment of $86 in machine tools for each pro duction worker in the indus try. The trade weekly also re ported a new kind of porous metal product on the way. Fiber metallurgy, a process developed by the Armour Re search Foundation, is expect ed to make possible a whole new series of products with diverse applications, includ ing composite materials such as plastics, ceramics and soft metals reinforced by fiber metal networks. The new process combines papermaking and powder metallurgy techniques.

The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases, to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. BLOOD TEST CONSIDERED "FAIR" EVIDENCE John Brown crashed head on into an oncoming car on a busy highway. While Brown was still unconscious from the accident, a doctor took a sample of his blood to test its alcoholic content. Results indicated that Brown was intoxicated at the time of the collision; and, despite objections from Brown's de fense, a state court admitted this finding as evidence in the trial which convicted Brown of involuntary man slaughter. After conviction, Brown sought a review before the U. S. Supreme Court on the ground that admitting the blood test deprived him of "due process of law" as guar anteed by the 14th Amend ment. His defense argued that the manner in -which the evidence was obtained of fended the sense of justice. The Supreme Court did not agree and sustained the con viction. Brown had hoped to win a favorable verdict by apply ing the doctrine announced by the , Supreme - Court in Rochin v. California. In that case evidence had been force ably extracted from Rochin's stomach, and the Supreme Court ruled that the method of obtaining evidence did of fend the sense of justice and was not "fair". The Supreme Court did not find the element of bru tality in the taking of blood by a physician that it found in forceably using a stomach pump in the Rochin case. Both Supreme Court cases were pleaded on the notion of a "fair trial" which is the fundamental guarantee of "due process of law." Both questioned the method used to obtain evidence, but only in the Rochin case was the method found not to be "fair". Had Brown been involved in a federal court case, how ever, the blood test evidence could not : have been admit ted. The Bill of Rights pro tects the individual from un reasonable .search and seiz ure by federal agencies, and a federal court could not therefore admit such evi dence. The majority of states, including the one which tried Brown, do not apply this doc trine to state officials. But when the method used to obtain evidence is carried to extremes, state officials violate the "due process of law" guaranteed in every American court, whether Professors Honored By Dinner Recently Montague A progressive dinner was held in honor of the - professors from Chico State college who taught the psychology class of Shake speare. The honored professors were Dr. Hugh Bell, Dr. Kenneth Clarke, and Professor Author Solmon. The hostesses for the din ner Aug. 5, were Juliana Townley, Mrs. D. H Hager, assisted by Paula Cairns, and Leah Reichman, all of Mon tague. The party started at the home of the Roy Townleys with .cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. The buffet dinner was served at the Hager home and dessert was served at the home of the Paul Reichmans. Those attending the dinner were Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth Young, Yreka; Mrs. Kenneth Clarke and daughter Suzy, Chico, Calif.; Roy and Gary Tovnley, and Dr. D. H. Hager, all Montague. Time oin- vaUV LISTEN TO THE WHEN THEIR KIDS A state or federal. Thus state courts cannot fairly admit as evidence a confession ob tained by state officers from a man who had suffered mer ciless beatings. The blood test in Brown's case is a rou tine procedure in everyday life and therefore not "con duct which shocks the con science." This column is prepared by the Willamette University College of Law to explain basic principles and not to give legal advice. The reader should never apply the law to his particular problems. Slight changes in the facts may change the outcome of a case. .
