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.

Investigators
Study Wreckage
To Learn Cause
Bolivia, N.C. (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.
