(UPI Telephoto) Steel Contract Battle Ends; War Over Cost Claims i Washington-(UPD - The war over a new steel' contract was history today but the battle lingered with a maze of con flicting claims, on how much it cost. 'The United Steeiworkers' Union, which had accused management of hiking its cost estimates outrageously during negotiations, is now using the same arithmetic to emphasize the value of the settlement to its members. - j The big 11 steel companies, which at first put a billion dollar price tag on the settle ment, appeared to be trying to minimize the cost of the 30 month package. Down-Grade Value ; "The Eisenhower administra tion, stressing what Secretary of 'Labor James P. Mitchell : has called the non-inflationary : aspect of the agreement, also seemed deterinmed to down grade its monetary value. Before labor peace was achieved in the steel industry, it was union strategy to make the companies offer appear low. Management wanted to do the opposite. Since the. contracts ' were signed, however, the tradi tional roles have been revers ed. Now the union hopes to get credit for winning a fat bundle of wage-benefit in creases while the companies consider it advisable to be de scribed as yielding relatively small gains. Adds lo Confusion . The administration, which played a major role in shap ing the contract terms, also has an interest in seeing that the contract is viewed as mod est in size. An unofficial estimate by government economists has circulated showing that the ngers settlement is really a 33-cent package when you boil the water out of the agreement widely described as worth 39 cents an hour. Union Attorney Arthur L. Goldberg has added to the confusion by advising report ers that the companies value the package at 41 cents. This estimate has not been endors ed by the steel producing firms yet. Hatfield Appoints Pott Commissioner Salem (UPD Gov. Mark Hat field Wednesday appointed Howard Somers of Portland to the Port of Portland com mission. Somers is with camp and company investment house and is active in Methodist church activities. He succeeds the late L. H. Hoffman who died last fall.

(UPD Teams of investigators seeking the cause of a National Airlines plane crash that took 34 lives have discovered that the four engine craft's altimeters were stuck at 1,500 feet, it was learned today. Investigators already have theorized that the DC6B dis integrated or exploded before it hit the ground early Wed nesday and the position of the altimeter dials may indicate that the plane fell apart at 1,500 feet, a spokesman told United Press International. Theory Strengthened The theory that the plane disintegrated was strength ened by the fact that most of the victims apparently fell free from the plane and were buried in the soggy field where the plane hit. National Airlines mean while was flying 14 relatives of victims to North Carolina in a special plane to help identify the dead. The rela tives were to be driven to the little fishing village of South port where the bodies lay in the high school gymnasium. . Two Bodies Missing A team of identification ex perts from the FBI in Washing ton had identified 11 of the bodies, including all five crew members, by late this morn ing but did not plan to re lease the names of passengers identified until the work was completed. ' Search still was underway for two of the bodies. The Civil Aeronautics Board investigation got underway today under the direction of Lanny Thompson of the CAB Washington office. First 1960 Tragedy. : The Senate aviation sub committee, still investigating the crash of a National Air lines DC-7 over the Gulf of Mexico. Nov. 16, announced it also will study this-the first commercial airline tragedy of 1960-at a safety hearing Mon day. The Nov.. 16 wreck, strik ingly similar to the one here Wednesday, killed 42 persons. . ' The FBI moved in to inves tigate the possibility of sab otage, but searchers said there was no evidence of an ex plosion in the baggage com partment, the mailbags were banged up but intact. Doing Belief Duly Like all disasters, this one had its ironies. - . ' The doomed plane was doing relief duty for a. National Boeing 707 jetliner grounded by a cracked windshield. Seventy-six passengers scheduled for the Boeing boarded an Electra turboprop instead, and 29 climbed into the DC6B. Peggy O'Neil of Song Fame Dies , London-IUPD-Peggy O'Neil, 61, Irish-American stage star whose charms inspired the lilting melody ; of ' the song "Peggy O'Neil," died today. Miss O'Neil had been crip-, pled by arthritis and confined to a wheelchair : for the last 12 years.- ' . Miss O'Neil was born, in County Kerry, Ireland, and went to the 1 United States with her parent while a: young girl. . '. ' ; ' At 1 18 she 'made her first stage appearance as a dancer in "The Sweetest Girl In Paris" at Chicago's La Salle Theater.: In 1913 she played Peg in "Peg O' My Heart,", a production iat had the long est run in Chicago history. .. : She made her first appear ance in New York at the1 Lyric Theater on Sept. - 4,1 1916, as Maya In "The Flame.", Miss O'Neil was immortal ized in. the song ' that bore her name although few of the millions who sang the words and hummed the tune knew who Peggy O'Neil was. The song was written in 1921 by Harry Pease, Gilbert Bodge and E. G. Nelson; It was inspired by Miss O'Neil's Irish brogue and Irish charm. Communist Police Seeking Calendars. Berlin-dlPD-Communist po lice are swarming over East Berlin newsstands trying to recover calendars which mark June 17-anniversary of the East German uprising in 1953, -as a holiday and "day. of German unity." An Eaet German state-owned printing shop printed the calendars for export to West Germany, where the day is a legal holiday. By' mistake, some of the calendars also got distributed in East Berlin.
