Three Small Children SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 1 Ott A 46-year-old mother and three young children were drowned Tues day night In the Spokane river. Officers could only speculate on the cause of the drownings. When the bodies were found a six-year-old girl ttlU was clutching her mother's hair. The victims were Mrs. Mabel G. Ash by and her children. Rath, 1; ' Sharon Ray, 4. and Robert, . Walter T. Ashby. the husband and father, was fishing 500 yards downstream. He arrived on the scene just as officers were recover ing the bodies. Dr. A. E. Lien, coroner, said the Bother and children were having a picnic on the river bank while Ash by and an older boy were fishing. Lien aald he believed one at the children must have slipped Into the river and that the ethers were car ried off trying In a resrne attempt. He aald there were no witnesses. Ray'O. Riddle, another fisherman, first discovered the tragedy when he saw the bodies floating down-atream. Overtime Suit OK'd By Court SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1 (JP A federal court hat approved an over time pay suit against the Bow River Lumber company. Cottage Orove, Ore, although the company la now out of business. The XJS. circuit court of appeals ordered the suit to go to trial. It waa filed by William R. MrComb. administrator of the department of labor's wage-hour division. The suit involved overtime claims of some of M employes who worked more than 40 hour weekly without re ceiving extra time pay. struck. In theec, and other Indus tries, labor and management are reported holding off contract dect alona to see which way the steel stalemate will be rnelved. Not only Is there the strike threat, but also the question of what wage Increase might da to prices, salea volume, and company profit and rasa sheets and purchasing power. The steel dispute will come to a head over the second week-end In September. The president's fact finding board Is expected to make its recommendations September 10. The unions have set September 14 as the strike deadline. In the few days In between, the steel compa nies and the union must decide what they'll do about the board's suggestions. Unless another truce extends the strike deadline, observers fear the time will be too short for the two parties to reach an agreement. The union has asked wage and pension concessions adding up to 30 cents an hour. Some think the board may suggest that it be cut about in third. Strikes In the first postwar years merely added to the Inflationary spiral by aggravating shortages of goods In great demand, and boost ing prices. This fall however, strikes are mere likely to deepen the recession. In most industries finished goods inventories are high enough to take care of consumer demand for some time. But the leas of purchasing power by workers In struck Indus tries will hit retailer, hard, and mushroom out all through the econ omy. For example, the railroads that serve the coal fields ara already hit by the three-day week which Lewis decreed July 1. Freight traffic Is down and rail employes have been laid off. Labor leaders in other Industries deny that they are just waiting to see what happens In steel and coal before pushing this year's fourth round bargaining to a conclusion. But many on the management side of the table believe that when the steel pattern takes shape in a couple of weeks, and Lewis tactics! and chance become clearer, the die will have been cast for peace or war this fall in the key Indus-1 tries, until that is known, the trend of business In general will be In doubt.

Sept. 1 W President Truman ha signed a bill providing machinery to protect wheat growers In arras where there have been rapid expansions of wheat acreage in recent years. It also provides a method tor southern and western farmers to cut cotton acreage! to prevent sharp brea' 1 In cotton price In the years ahead. And It provides protection for new peanut gnawers. The new law says the acreage allotment of wheat for the I960 crop for any farm shall not be leu than the larger of 1. M per cent of IAI the acreage an the farm seeded for the produc tion of wheal in 1M9, and (Ml any other acreage seeded for the pro duction of wheat In 194S whkh waa fallowed and from which no crop waa harvested In the calendar year IMS, or i. S per cent of (At the acreage on the farm seeded for the produc tion of wheat In IMA, and IBI any other acreage seeded for the pro duction of wheal In 147 which was fallowed and from which no crop waa harvested In the calendar year IsHa. These figures would be the farm er's base and his cut below this would be equivalent to the reduc tion In the national acreage allot ment below average plantings dur ing the past 10 years, or seven per cent.
