Industry observers indicated the grand jury action was taken in connection with the spate of price increases on a broad line of slccl products this year, but suggested that the inquiry might broaden itself into an in vestigation of so-called "admin" istered prices." Companies Nanuil Prominent among the compa nies which reported Monday and today that they were suli poenacd were U.S. Steel Corp.i Bethlehem Steel Corp., Jons Si Laughlin Steel Corp., Republic Steel Corp., Wheeling Slncl Corp., Pittsburgh Steel Co, Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., National Steel Corp., Kaiser Steel Corp., and Armco Steel Corp. Industry officials gener ally declined to discuss the siti a tion, olher than to contirm re ceipt of the subpoenas. Approximately 75 per cent of all steel products have been af fected by these piecemeal price increases and only a few weeks ago President Kennedy told a news conference he was watch ing "with concern" the recent round of increases put into ef fect by major producers. The action apparently caught the steel makers by surprise and comment was withheld hy all the companies except Repub lic where a spokesman said his company had been asked In pre sent some records to the federal panel. This latest legal move hy I ho government came at a tuna when it appeared relations be tween the steel industry and tho Kennedy administration had al most if not completely recov ered from their clash in April, 1962.

In a spectacular confrontalion between the Kennedy adminis tration and "big steel" the steel industry rescinded the price in crease. Colorado Man Dies In County Jail Warren Butler, 32.
