Halt Enforcement
9 Of Judge's Act
Public Health,
fety Imperiled .
, e Pittsburgh - (UPD - a federal
judge today ordered ithe na
tion's 500,000 striking steel-
Workers to return to their
jobs for 80 days under the
Taft-Hartley Act The United
Steelworkers Union appealed
to block enforcement of the
rder.
oft U.S. District Judge Herbert
"9. Sorg, 47, an Eisenhower
appointee, , agreed with the
President that the 99 - day
strike imperiled the nation.
Sorg handed down the back
to work ruling after a three
hour meeting of union and in
dustry attorneys on the ques
tion of retroactivity. Eisen
hower, through the Justice
Department, asked Judge
Sorg Tuesday for the injunc
tion. .
Sorg said he signed the pe
tition because he found the
steel strike to be "inimicable
to the public health and safe
ty." He. said he agreed to
Eisenhower's request "in or
der that further negotiations
may go on while the basic
needs of the country are being
tflled."
The judge -asked the attor
neys if they had anything to
say.
Arthur J. Goldberg, chief
- counsel for the union, said
the USW "objects and ac
cepts" the injunction.
Goldberg began to explain
. his appeal motion but .Judge
Sorg interrupted him to say
that he had already contacted
3rd Circuit Court of Appeals
Judge Austin Staley in the
same building and that Staley
"is ready to wait upon you."
Second Intervention .
. It was the second time in
history that the government
intervened directly in a na
tionwide steel strike. In 1952,
President Truman .seized the
' mills under what he termed
the implied powers of the
presidency, but the U.S. Su
preme Court ruled his act un
constitutional. '
; Although Judge Sorg order
ed the strikers back to work,
Jhey are free to continue-the
walkout after 80 days. -."

Kennedy looking
For Some Votes';
Predicts Victory
Plans Will Be
Told in January
Portland -(UPD- Sen. John
F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) conced
ed Tuesday night that he was
out here "looking for some
votes as well as helping the
Democrats raise money."
But the youthful appearing
senator still said he was not
yet a candidate for next year's
Democratic presidential nom
ination. He said again he
would announce his plans in
January.
Kennedy was winding up a
busy twe-day visit to Salem
and the Portland area today
At a breakfast meeting of
the Democratic Round Table
here today, Kennedy predict
ed a victory for his party next
year but said the going .would
not be easy.
He said the potential for an
overwhelming victory "is
there . and this state looks
like it will lead the parade.'
But he warned against taking
victory for granted. -"Let
us recall that our na
tional ticket in 1956 carried
only seven states and lost 41.
Let us remember that our na
tional ticket has not carried a
single northern state since
1948," he said.
Wanii More Classrooms
Tuesday night Kennedy
called for classrooms, more
teachers and better trained
teachers. He said there were
50,000 teachers on the job dur
ing the past year who "had no
adequate training for that
job."
Kennedy, who is of Cath
olic faith, was asked how he
felt about separation of the
church and state. He replied,
"I think it is the only way
that church and state can
function in their -respective
areas Christ came out for it,
although not specifically on
method, -when' ne said: 'Ren
der unto Caesar that which is
Caesar's and unto God that
which is God's'."
A Real Debate ; '
He made a humorous obser
vation about differences be
tween himself and Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.) "Someone has,
suggested that Senator Morse
and I be nominated, and then
the country could hear a real
debate on the issues without
ever tuning in on the Repub
licans." -
Expected Boom
In Economy Out
Washington-(UPD - The eco
nomic boom anticipated for
the last three months of this
year is out the window. Gov
ernment officials blame the
steel strike.
The boom had been expect
ed to whittle unemployment
to the lowest level in two
years. Offiicals also had hoped
it would produce enough tax
revenue to keep the federal
budget in the black.
But the narrow budget sur
plus of $95 million predicted
for the current year now is
in grave danger of turning
into deficit and unemploy
ment is expected to remain
above 3 million because .of
the 99-day steel walkout.

'Lousy Morse
Corvaiiis -(UPD Sen. Wayne

59th birthday here Tuesday
night, told Benton county
Democrats that as for the pos
sibility of Sen. John Kennedy
(D-Mass.) as a, 1960 presiden
tial nominee, "his position is
so lousy, I just can't supporjU
it.'
Morse said another Demo

Chester Bowles (D-Conn.),
New Jersey Gov. Robert Mey
ner and California Gov. Ed

T Verbal sparks flew between
Morse and Sen. Kennedy upon
Kennedy's arrival in Oregon
Tuesday for a two-day visit.

Kennedy earlier for his part
in the new labor law and Ken
nedy said Morse's attack .sur
prised him because Morse
made it a "personal matter."

'Thank You' Only
Remark Made on
News of Decision
Convict Shows
No Surprise '
San Quentin. Calif. - flJPD-
Caryl Chessman received
news of his stay of execution
by the U.S. Supreme Court
today with icy composure.
"Thank you," was all that
he said to correctional Set
C. Gilbert when the of
ficer relayed the word to
Chessman in San Ouentin's
death row. In Washineton.
the Supreme Court had an
nounced its action at 8:08 am.
(p.s.t.).
No Emotion
Chessman showed no emo
tion and did not seem sur
prised that his 11 years and
five months under death sen
tence were to be prolonged.
Last July 10 the black-haired,
lean-faced convict-author
told United Press Internation
al that he believed he would
win a stay of execution.
Word of the stav came to
Chessman 50 hours before he
had been scheduled to pntr
the San Quentin gas chamber
at 10 ajn. Fridav.
Court Asked For Stay
His attorney, George T.
Davis, asked Supreme Court
Justice William O. Douelaa
last Friday for the stay. Doug
las referred the petition to the
entire court which acted to
day to permit Chessman to
bring his 10th appeal tox the
high tribunal.
' Chief Justice Earl Warren,
who as former governor of
California denied clemency o
Chessman, did not participate
in the decision.
The stay may mean up to
two more years of life for
Chessman even-if the final
decision goes against him,
Davis said. 'f - .
Sentenced in 1948
' Even if the court rejects the
new appeal, Davis said, the
necessary legal procedures,
including the setting of a new
execution day, are likely to
consume nearly a year. If the
Supreme Court decides to
hold a hearing in the mm it
might be two years before
decision is reached, he said.
Chessman received two
death sentences in 1948 after
being convicted on 17 counts
of robbery, kidnap, rape and
perversion. Tne fact that no
murder was involved and the
length of his fight to escape
the death chamber has
brought worldwide appeals to
spare his life.
