United Press International
Washington - IUPD - The steel
strike injunction died an un
lamented death yesterday.
Proposals for revising the
Taft-Hartley law that gave
birth to the court order 80
days ago also appear doomed
to a short life in Congress.
Hopes of overhauling the
government's procedures for
dealing with critical labor
management disputes faded
fast in the hours before dawn
on Jan. 4.
That was the moment when
union and management nego
tiators wearily settled the
steel dispute after an all
night bargaining session with
Labor Secretary James P.
Mitchell.
The settlement killed the
chances that Congress would
consider anything so crucial
and controversial as labor leg- j
islation in an election year.
Give Several Reasons
Capitol Hill observers give
several reasons for this. For
one thing, they say, this ses
sion will be relatively short
and nothing as complex as
revision of emergency strike
laws can be handled speedily.
Secondly, the subject is po
litically "hot" and few con
gressmen want to incur the
wrath of unions or business
men so soon before they face
the voters in November.
Finally, there is no emer
gency situation demanding a
solution. Settlement of the
steel impasse took away the
atmosphere of crisis that gen
erated so many proposals a
few months ago.
Even if Congress wanted to
act, there is little agreement
on what kind of legislation
should be passed to deal with
breakdowns in collective bar
gaining that threaten the pub
lic interest.
Bomb Hoaxes
Delay Flights,
Sailing Ship
New York-lT&-Bomb hoaxes
held up more than 350 air
line passengers Monday and
forced a luxury cruise liner
sailing with 350 passengers to
drop anchor before she could
even clear port.
Three of the anonymous
threats were aimed at big Boe
ing 707 jets leaving New
York's Idlwild Airport. Other
telephoned threats disrupted
flights in Fargo, N.D.; Mil
waukee, Wis., and Lansing,
Mich.
Airlines make a practice of
conducting thorough searches
in response to bomb threats.
"Tonight around midnight
there will be a TWA jet out
of Idlewild leaving for Paris,
a man's voice said in the first
of the day's treats. "There
will be a bomb on it."
"Do you have a 5 p.m.
flight to Miami?" a man ask
ed National Airlines a little
later. "Better check it for a
bomb."
"There is a bomb on one
of your planes going off any
minute," a woman phone call
er told the American Airlines
reservation office here.
Trans World Airlines, only
jet to Paris, Flight 800 sched
uled to leave at 6:15 p.m. was
held up 15 minutes by the
search. Aboard the plane
were bandleader Xavier Cu
gat and hjs wife. singer Abbe
Lane.
National's Flight 7 to Mi
ami and American's Flight 5
to Los Angeles both were de
layed 45 minutes.
The 20,000-ton Incres-Nas-sau
liner Victoria already had
set sail for a 15-day Caribbean
cruise when port officials got
a phone call warning that it
carried a bomb. The Victoria
dropped anchor at Staten Is
land. A three-hour search fail
ed to turn up a bomb.

Mitchell, who came out an "arsenal" of powers-com-
strongly against any new laws
at this session, favors quicker
use of government fact-finding
boards.
Fact-finding, usually with
the power to recommend, is
the most common solution ad
vanced by labor . unions and
experts in labor-management
relations.
Cyrus S. Ching, former
head of the Federal Media
tion Service, said this would
bring the power of public
opinion into the dispute by
focusing attention on the is
sues and the positions taken
by both sides.
Some lawmakers, however,
prefer giving the President
pulsory arbitration, seizure,
fact-finding - to make a settlement.
FAMILY MOVES Lighthouse Keeper
Joseph Pestralla moved his family and fur
niture from the Kumukahi Lighthouse (left,
foreground) but stuck to his post Monday
and kept the beacon burning while a river
of molten lava from Puna eruptions (back
ground) was spreading out fan-like, flowing
toward the lighthouse and sea in the fore
ground near Pahoa, Hawaii. Pestralla has
his truck standing by in case he has to make
a rush to safety. The aerial photograph was
taken by a Coast Guard plane recently.

Backstairs: On Living by the Zodiac
1,164 Local Students
In State's Colleges
A total of 1,164 Jackson
county students are enrolled
in state institutions, according
to a report on the geographic
distribution of students in the
state system of higher educa
tion. Of these students 835 or
71.2 per cent are enrolled at
Southern Oregon college, Ash
land: 147 or 12.6 per cent.
University of Oregon; and 154
or 13.2 per cent at Oregon
State college.
During the 1958-59 school
year, 62 per cent of SOC's
enrollment was from Jackson
county. Attendance for a
home county was exceeded
only by Portland State college
in Multnomah county with 74
per cent.
The report was compiled
under the direction of Dr.
John R. Richards, chancellor
of the higher education system.
By MERRIMAN SMITH
UPI White House Reporter
Washington - d'PD - Back
stairs at the White House:
There's a fascinating story
kicking around the State De
partment where the officials
quite naturally don't want to
discuss the situation. It seems,
however, that President Eisen
hower iavited the King of
Nepal to visit the United
States on Feb. 26.
As delicately as possible,
the word was passed back
from Nepal to the State De
partment that the king could
n't make it on that date. The
court astrologist had taken a
quick look at the calendar
and decided that Feb. 26 was
destined to be one of the
king's poorer days.
So, according to new plans,
the King of Nepal will visit
the United States in late
April, during a period which
his astrologer regards with
favor.
Rept
West's Wild Horses
orfed Vanishing
Los Angeles-(Science Serv
ice) - The millions of wild
horses that once roamed the
ranges of the West have been
reduced to a comparative
handful. Dr. Tom L. Mc
Knight of the University of
California here believes the
total now may be as low as
17,000. The largest number of
these, 5,000, is located in Ne
vada. All of the 17.000 horses
are feral, that is, descendants
of animals that escaped from
domestication.
In these days of budget
pruning Congress probably
would never appropriate
funds for Eisenhower to have
an astrologer if the President
so desired. In fact, Congress
doesn't even have an astrolo
ger to call its own.
Because of this tight-fisted
policy, the President might
like to know how the future
shapes up for him, according
to "1960 zodiac" published by
Zodiach International of New
York. .
Eisenhower was born under
the sign of Libra and he may
as well know now that his
overall forecast for 1960 says
this:
"Business affairs will con
tain some opposition which
may create problems and
make your efforts seem futile
and disappointing."
Feb. 26, according to the
zodiac, would have been a fine
day from the Eisenhower
viewpoint and the Nepalese
astrologer might study our
side of the picture. The Presi
dent's forecast for that day:
"This day contains oppor
tunity through travel and
agreement; be enterprising."
The President will be enter
prising and traveling, all
right. He'll be in South Amer
ica traveling like all get-out.
Thursday, the President will
arrive in Palm Springs, Calif.,
for a long week end of golf
at the La Quinta home of
George E. Allen.
Maybe the President should
watch his golf bets that day
at the Eldorado Golf club. The
OPEN CONFERENCES
Washington -IUPD- Ameri
can, British, French, Canadi
an and Italian disarmament
experts opened several days
of conferences here Monday
to draft a Western disarma
ment position for East-West
talks in Geneva March 15.
Zodiac International warns on
Jan. 26 for those under the
sign of Libra:
"Doubtful. Hobbies may be
fun, but your expenditures
may be too large."
The zodiac fellows could
n't have known about the May
16 East-West summit meeting
in France when they drew up
their projections for 1960, but
the signs of the zodiac are
relentless.
Zodiac International calls
May 16 a "doubtful" day for
the President. It tells ,him,
"You may be deceived."
There has been some specu
lation that the big Summit
meeting may wind up on May
21. The zodiac calls this a
"difficult" day for the Presi
dent. Let him be warned now
about May 21:
"The public may be impa
tient and argumentative; keep
your temper in check."
Maybe Eisenhower doesn't
need this advice from the
zodiac. He can get the same
stuff from any Democratic
senator in town.
Las Vegas Bets on
Future Filled With
Sevens and Elevens
Las Vegas, Nev. -IUPD- Las
Vegas is betting on a future
filled with sevens and elevens
on the first roll.
A dice player can't do much
better than that, unless he
happens to own a money tree.
Or a successful Las Vegas re
sort hotel.
The way operators of the
luxury shake - rattle-and-roll
palaces feel, the population
surge toward the West is like
betting on a sure thing.
Ben Goffstein, president of
the Riviera, expressed it in
stock market terms. "I was
bullish when I came to Las
Vegas 15 years ago," he said.
"I'm even more so now."
Confidence in the future is
demonstrated along the strip
of hotels bordering the high
way that reaches toward
booming Southern California.
Operators of the hostelries
have million-dollar plans for
building new wings, swim
ming pools, tennis courts and
sky rooms.
14-Story Addition
The Hotel Sahara's 3M-mil-lion-dollar
program calls' for
construction of a 14-story ad
dition. The ' Riviera, opened in
1955, has a six-story wing un
der consideration that will
add 114 more rooms. A glass
ed elevator will ascend the
outside of the building to a
sky room.
So it goes along the strip
at the Stardust, Desert Inn,
Dunes, Sands, Thunderbird,
Tropicana, Desert Inn and
Flamingo.
"The expansion has just
started," Goffstein said.
"We're just in our infancy. I
think in 20 years Las Vegas
will have 10 to 12 new ho
tels." Goffstein looks to rapidly
growing California where he
predicted 20 million persons
would soon be living within
an hour's flight of Las Vegas.
"You couldn't have it any
sweeter," he said.
As proof, the hotelman said
eight or ten years ago it was
difficult to raise money, for
financing a luxury hotel and
casino. But not anymore. Now,
he said, banks are eager to
lend money.
We are only limited by how
fast we can create transporta
tion," Goffstein said.
The city is planning a six-
million-dollar airport and has
a new convention center lo
cated off the strip. The center
was opened in April.
Overbuilding blamed
For a while, resort hotels
were opening and closing like
a wind-blown shutter, but Las
Vegans blame it on overbuild
ing in a short period.
"It's like when you're go
ing 100 miles an hour and
slow to 75," Goffstein said.
"It seems like you're walk
ing." Figures compiled by the
Las Vegas Research and Sta
tistical Bureau showed the
steady growth of revenue
from gaming.
In 1946, the bureau report
ed, gross revenue from gam
bling in Nevada was $24,014,
313. That figure increased to
$150,124,841 in 1958.
In Spanish, Las Vegas
means "the meadows." The
way many Las Vegans feel,
the grass couldn't be greener.

Woodcock, a Southern Ore
gon college graduate, has re

By NORMAN L. BRAUN
United Press International -
Pittsburgh-(UPD - The Amer
ican steel industry, giving
only passing attention to ex
piration of a Taft-Hartley in
junction which ended the 116-
day steel strike, looked for
ward today to a record year.
"The general picture in
steel now is similar to that
nice feeling we had in late
1956 and through 1957," a
Pittsburgh Steel Co. official
said. "The industry looks like
it will be in good shape."
"There still is an acute
shortage of most types of
steel," Jones &,, Laughlin
Steel Corp. reported. "Cus
tomers are not yet at the stage
where they can stockpile."
"An industry spokesman
said the "unmuddled" labor
picture will allow producers
to move at full speed.
"We will have a year free
of major labor difficulties, en
abling us to concentrate on
production levels," he said.
"We have a record customer
demand on a broad front.
There is little consumer un
certainty." Capacity Pegged Higher
The industry began the
road back to full production
80 days ago when the Taft
Hartley injunction forced a
half-million steelworkers to
end the longest and costliest
strike in steel history.
The rated steel capacity for
1960 has been put at 148,500,
000 tons by the American
Iron and Steel Institute
more than one million tons
above last year's figure. Offi
cials believe the industry
will "come reasonably close"
to the new figure despite miss
ing by more than 54 million
tons in 1959.
The marathon strike cut the
nation's steel output to 13 per
ce"nt of the, rated capacity of
the furnaces. Production last
week ran 15,000 tons above
schedule at 2,727,000 tons,
the same as the week before,
and the second highest total
on record.
Possible Records Loom
James L. Rich, assistant
director of commercial re
search for U.S. Steel Corp.,
said 1960 "could produce
new records for both gross
national product and indus
trial production."
"These records could be
substantially higher than re
cent forecasts have suggest
ed," he said.
Jones & Laughlin said al
though it operated at 101 per
cent of capacity last week, it
saw little evidence of stockpiling.
Pittsburgh Steel said de
mand was "good," particular
ly in flat rolled steel which
constitutes about 50 per cent
of its shipments.
"And when demand for
flat rolled is up, there usual
ly is a corresponding demand
for specialty and higher grade
wire used in the automobile
industry," the firm said.
It noted that demand in
the construction field "could
stand some improvement
but it is far from bleak."
