York, executive secretary of the Pennsylvania Canners Association, said Friday the steel strike ended Just in time to prevent a disaster in Uie- country's canned food in dustry. . York said railroad cars will be watting at mill gates to load stored unpiate ine minute pianis open. "It Is still too early to predict how much damage has been done to the canning business. It depends on too many lis, such as condi tion ol the stored tlnplate. How last It can be delivered to can manu facturers and how quick can de liveries can be made to canners," York said. York estimated that approxi mately 10 per cent ol the nation's annunl conning business already has been lost. York said Pennsylvania tomato farmers will not suffer as much as farmers In Southern and Western states, added: "Cans will be rolling to can ners In time to take enre of tho state's eight million dollar tomato crop." Asked If the price on canned food will show marked Inorease because of the canning loss, he said: "I think not. If at all. It mlorht be on peaches,' California lost a great part of their annual canning." KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY ti, 19K Legion Convent ion Olympic Bulletins HELSINKI Horace Ashenfelter occupied the Olymplo Games spot light Friday but his amaslng stee plechase victory was not recognised as a world record. The FBI man won the 3,000 me ter steeplechase In eight minutes, 45.8 seconds.

Korean News Blackout Off MUNSAN, Korea Wl The three week news blackout was lilted from the Korean armistice talks Friday, showing the deadlock over prisoner exchange final Issue blocking a struce still unbroken. Despite a United Nations offer to return an additional 13,000 cap tives to the Communists, 18 off- the record meetings since July 4 proved "completely fruitless," said MaJ. Oen. William K. Harri son jr. "We are no nearer a solution of the problem than we were on July 4," the chief Allied delegate said, but added: "As long as we continue negotia tions there is always hope, when the enemy proposed this morning that we go back into open ses sions, I agreed heartily." The U. N. command said it re fused to back down on its deci sion not to return forcibly any pri soner to the Communists. Only 83, 000 of 170,000 allied-held POWs want to be -repatriated, Harrison said. This Is an Increase ot 13,000 over the figure submitted to the Reds earlier, . before screening of POWs waa oompleted. Telephone gill N. ZS7I Production Of Steel To Start Soon , By ROWLAND EVANS JR. WASHINGTON Wl The lontr- est, costliest steel strike in Amer can history in effect is over. Pro duction Is expected to resume next week. The striking CIO Steelworkers Union was considered virtually certain Friday to ratify a strike end agreement reached at the White House alter President Tru man personally demanded and got a settlement. It was not a clear cut victory ior anyone concerned: ine union. industry, or the government. There was give and take on all sides. The end ol the crippling. 53-dav strike was announced late Thurs day by the President himself, with uu f resident primp Murray and U. S. Steel Chairman Benjamin r airiess standing oesioe mm. . NEWSMEN Calling newsmen Into his office a rare occurrence Truman told them Murray and Falrless "have reached agreement on Important basic issues" alter day-long con ferences, and Dredlcted a "speedy resumption of steel production." He said Murray would meet Fri day with bis 175-man wage-policy committee to obtain ratification of the agreement. . Falrless. It was reliably learned. plans to make a personal appear ance before this committee, in a dramatic move aimed at wiping out any bitterness. The union in vited him to make a short talk to the group after a closed session in which actual ratification of th agreement was scheduled. At best It will be four or five days before any substantial pro duction of steel la reached. It takes that long to neat up the banked blast furnaces which stand by workers have kept alive ever since the strike started June 2. NEW STEEL '.,' The new steel which-comes out of some 380 struck plants will sell for at least $5.20 ton more ttutn before the strike started. A few minutes after Truman's dramatic announcement the gov ernment approved a' pric increase of that amount for raw, or car bon, steeL Specialised, high-alloy steel will get a boost ot $5.65 a ton. Some officials have predicted that such a boost would Increase the cost of living, already at an aii-tune nign- The $5 rjrlce increase. Ironically enough, was the price increase cnaries js. wiison, as aeiense mo billxer. had said the Industry should get to compensate for high er wage costs. Wilson said he thought he had presidential ap proval lor an over-ceuing noosi, but Price Stabiliser Ellis Arnall refused to go along and said that as long as he was price boss the industry would not get more than the $2.84 allowed under the Cape hart Amendment to the controls law. ARNALL Truman stuck with Arnall, and Wilson resigned in a huff, writing the President, "You changed the plan we agreed upon." No wage or other terms were an nounced at Thursday's White House session, but it was reliably learned the agreement includes these conditions? A wage boost of 16 cents an hour for 650,000 basic steel workers; a highly modified form of union shop which allows present non-union members to stay out and gives new employes a 15-day escape per iod in their first month of em ployment; six paid holidays; three weeks vacation after 15 years' service; a two-year contract dat ing irom last June 30, with a wage reopener next June 30. CONCESSIONS These concessions came to a to tal of Just over 21 cents an hour for each worker. Pre-strlke pay averaged slightly under $2 an hour. The strike, longest in the na tion's steel history, will have cost more than 21 million tons of the defense-vital metal by the time full production Is resumed. It has imperiled the defense program and stopped altogether the production ol some high-priority Items like 105 mm shells. These stark facts, which the President presumably pounded home in his 10-minute meeting with Murray and Falrless, undoubt edly played a large part In the settlement which came seven hours later. Other White House peace efforts, In April, May and June, nad all collapsed. Stevenson Keeps Mum 4JUANTTCO, Va. Wl Adlal E.

( By JACK BELL CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO i.fl A multiple ballot battle over the Democratic presidential nomination developed Friday as it became apparent that no candi date could win the prize on the first count. Barring last-minute vote switch- which seemed -unlikely. Gov. Adlal E. Stevenson of Illinois, Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee and Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia headed lor a tteup on the first ballot with none of them within- striking distance of the 615 'a votes needed Ior victory. - with the first count progressing slowly in this suddenly quiet amphitheater, there were Indica tions that Stevenson was develop ing the strength that might carry him to a later nomination unless his j opponents could combine against him quickly. HARRIMAN - At ' the same time, a strategist for Averell Harrlman conceded that the New Yorker and the only all - out "Fair Dealer" among II presidential aspirants, soon -may fall by the wayside. - But mrnman nimseii said aner a conference with Stevenson: I am still a candidate for the presidency." He said no deals were discussed. addinR: "I am certainly not a candidate for the vice presidency." sen. Estes Keiauver ol Tennes see, linked with Harrlman in vari ous "Fair Deal" convention man euvers which have failed, was in Une to benefit Irom the New i ord er's possible withdrawal. Keiauver, apparenuy snort cc the votes necessary for the top spot' on the ticket, was reported to be maneuvering for a btevenson Kefauver ticket. - Sen- Richard B. Husseii or. Georgia told a, television audience shortly beiore the oaiiotmg Degan that he was "confident" he would get the nomination. He said ne would- oe giaa 10 have Stevenson for a vice-presidential running mate. Russell's lieutenants nad set a 285 vote goal on the first ballot.. PRIVATELY Thev conceded orivatelv that the Georgian can't go much beyond that 615 5i votes are neeaea ior uie onminauon umess sacxe are unexpected developments. There was considerable belter in the Russell cams that the Georgia senator might try to throw his strength to Vice - President Alben W. Barkley if Russell became con vinced he couldn't win. Barkley. a surprise entry after an earlier withdrawal, might de velop into - Stevenson's chief rival, in that case. Nevertheless. the Stevenson bandwagon was rolling along swlit ky. And Sen. Francis Myers of Pennsylvania, stevensons iioor manager, told a reporter: "We'll make it on the second or third bal lot." Just before Chairman Sam Ray- burn banged his gavel to open this climactic session of the conven tion, the CIO grabbed for the tail board of the wagon. CIO-PAC In a statement. Jack Kroll. CIO political action director, asked all CIO member delegates to vote tor Stevenson as soon as tney can fulfill their commitments" that is alter tney nad iirst nonoreo any promises to give one round of vot to others. Kroll's move may have Been de signed as a bid to put a man. friendly toward the CIO's views on the ticket as Stevenson's run ning mate. bv-,j''-Vv.'i 1 .-.-as. DESK SGT.
