SATURDAY, JULY M, 1651 Telephene Ml No. M Steel Strike Settlement Hits Snag Br ROWLAND EVANS, JR WASHINGTON Of Union and Industry leadera pressed hard Sat urday to Irv to remove a sudden and unexpected snsg delaying a final wlndup ol the nationwide steel strike. All chief Issues In the 85-day-old walkout were settled by an agree ment reached at the White House Thursday and ratllied late Friday by the CIO sleelworkers' policy committee. The agreement ssya the strike "will end" upon that ratification. Hut Saturday, workera still man ned picket lines. Blast furnaces which the Industry had planned to fire were still banked. The long est steel atrike In history, dealing a severe blow to defense and the national economy, wore on. IRON ORE The remaining Issue waa a dis pute Involving Iron ore workers In Minnesota. The While House agree mail expressed general terms lor settling the Iron ore dispute. An ollshot ol the steel strike, but ne gotiators rsn Into roadblocks try ing to agree on more specific terms. CIO President Phil Murrey did not tske a personal hand aa Iron ore talks were resumed. He stood by si CIO headquarters here. In dustry leaders relused comment at this time. Neither side, however, expected the impsss to continue long. Cir cumstances surrounding the Thurs day agreement Indicated eagerness on both sides to restore production us soon as possible, MKMIIKRH The ore workers, who are mem bers of the sleelworkers' union, wslkrd oil the lob a lew hours alter the sleelworkers struck.

The agreement signed at the While House had two prt: One between the union and the big six; (he other between the union and the Oliver Iron Mining Division ol U.S. Steel. 1 CENT BOOHT The unlon-bla- six agreement In cluded a ID-cent hourly wage boost, effective last March 1. plus slight- ly more then live cents aaamonai In fringe bencllts, as well as a modified lorm ol union shop giv ing new employes the right to withdraw from the union and old employes who are not members the right to stay out. The Unlon-Oilver pact Included nearly all the terms ol the basic agreement, plus a separate condi tion committing the Industry to eliminate "In part" the wage dif ferential "as ol the end ol the strike" and the balance next July 1.

Low retired from office hi IMS aftrr 27 yeara' -service. He waa deputy far his lather, hherllf C. (.'. Low, for three yeara and sheriff fur li years. During that time be waa frequently called Into ' neighboring counties to break tough casea. In the fallow ing article Low gives hla theory en the rohbery-murder of two (ieneral Motors executives In Crater Lake National Park one week ago today. Low atudled the arlual murder aoene and the fpw hits of tangible evidence be fore arriving at his conclusions.) By I.LOVO LOW (With Wallace Myers) My first thought on this case Is that the Job was done by some young punks , . , Ssy between 17 and 33 veare old. The killings were done with a J2 automatic You'll llnd hardened criminals don't ue a gun like that. In I lie tirst place, a .33 Is loo light. And In the second place, automatics elect tlie empty car tride cases, Just like In this case. A resl crook likes a revolver. (When shots are llred from a re volver, the empty shell cases re main in the gun.) Seems to me there were prob- No Break In Crater Case In the early afternoon, one week ago today, two tired business men left Klamath Falls for a fishing cabin on Union Creek and lor a lew houra relaxation. A lew hours later, probably by not later than 3:30 p.m., the two men had been held up. gagged and shot to death In the forest adjoin ing the South entrance to Crater Lake National Park. The crime was not discovered until Monday afternoon, giving the killers some 48 hours' getaway time. And, today, FBI headquarters reported there waa sllll no major break In the case. The FBI Is handling the case be cause the murders occurred on fed eral land. In Portland today. FBI bureau chief J. B. Poster told the Herald and News hla statement of yester day still stood: "We're making progress by elimination." Several government agents have been here working on the case since soon alter the bodies were discovered. Time consumed by the checking out ol fruitless lesds has given tlie killers opportunity to get far away from the scene. But there Is noth ing to Indicate the killers have gone snv great distance. They might be right here In the city today. Olympic Bulletin HELSINKI W Bob Mathlaa of Tulare, Calif, wen the Olympic decathlon Saturday night and sbsttered his own world record for this supreme test ol all-round athletic prowess. Milton Campbell, 18-year-old Plalnfleld, N.J., high school boy, waa aeeond and another Ameri can, Floyd 8lmmons ol Los Ange les was third. ably three or four young punks on tills lob . . Muyne more, iney were probably driving up the rosd and saw cuinsne and Jones line two murdered mem standing there looking otii over tha csnyon. The boys llgurcd It would be a good stlckup. Iney saw the men's car had Cslllornla tags and probably Iigured the men would have a pretty good piece ol money with inem. being from out of the stale snd on a trip. I think the boys decided the one driving the car would stsy with the csr while the rest of them did the stlckup. They Jumped out, threw a gun on the two men and hustled them across the rosd Into the woods while the other boy drove the car up the road a ways. He was probsbly figuring on driving bsck by In a few minutes to pick up the other boys. TWO MEN They took the two men way back In the woods (about one quarter of a mile) until they figured they couldn't be heard from Uie road. That's another thing that points to young punks. Experienced crooks wouldn't have taken those men over 76 or 100 feet from the road. They would have gone Just far enouRh that they couldn't be seen from the road. But these young punks were all excited and urobablv hopped up on beer or marijuana and took the men way back there to do the Job. i son i uiina mey reauy meant to kill the men. I think they gagged them and Intended to tie them to those two little Jockplnes. (The bodies were found at the bases of two small pine trees about some six to eight teet apart.) now the autopsy showed this fellow Jones hsd a fractured skull and some bruises In tlie groin. Of course we know both the men actually died from a bullet In the need, seems Jones Drobsblv cot skull fracture and groin bruises when he out un a flcht. He mlirht have figured those tight gags were going lo strangle he and his buddy anyway and when he saw his chance, he Jumped the robbers. He was a big, strong man and probably Iigured ha had Rood chance.---I Imagine the shooting sta rted during " the icuffle with Jones. STOLEN SHOES The boys had already taken off the men's shoes. I think they did that Just to make it hard lor the men lo get out ol the woods U they did get loose. Maybe one of Ihem had those missing shoes In his hands when the shooting started and took oil running with them, so scared he didn't realise he had them. Later, I expect he threw the shoes away and I wouldn't be surprised If they're not still up there In the woods someplace. When Jones made his bresk. It looks like Culbsne hsd already been set down with his back to one of the trees. I imagine Jones Jumped while the little punks were Retting ready to tie Culhane to the tree. Culhane looks like he was shot sitting down and It looks like Jones was shot while he was prob sbly squatting or stooping. When you hit a man in the groin he will naturally stoop. Of course, once the punks hsd killed one ol the men thev figured they hud better get rid of the other one. Thev figured they couldn't leave a murder witness alive. Alter the shooting. I guess they ran back to the road figuring to move that other car (Culhane and Jone's) but when they got to the edge of the woods they saw Eber leln and Vaughn had arrived. (Frank Eberlrin and Jack Vaughn, Klamath Falls, found the aban doned car of Culhane and Jones as thev drove toward Union Creek to join Culhane and Jones for a fishing trip.) Somehow, they managed to get bnck in their own car and got out ol there. No telling where thev are now.

John Spark man won shouted approval from the Democratic convention Satur day as the Vice . presidential nominee on a "talk sense" ticket headed by Oov, Adlai E. Steven son ol Illinois. It was Sparkman Stevenson's personal choice by convention acclamation after the Dixie Sen ator's only "rival, Mrs. India Edwards ind Judge Sarah Hughes had been put in nomination and then quickly pulled out. Selection of the tall, dark-haired Alabaman gave the Democrats a team of men of the same age 52 years who promised to work together to put a new look on the Democratic Party, Stevenson told the applauding delegates In an acceptance speech Friday night he plans In the cam paign to "talk sense to the Ameri can people." COLLEAGUE As a former colleague of Steven son's on the American delegation to the United Nations, Sparkman' shares most of Stevenson's foreign and domestic policy views. The nomination of the Alabama senator put a representative of the deep South on the ticket for the first time in modern politics. The last Southern representative was Vice-President John N. Garner of Texas, more properly classified geographically as South-western rather than Southern. Alabama, first in the state list, put her son's name before tha convention when a roll call began nominations for the No. 2 spot. DEMONSTRATION That touched off a roaring dem onstration, sparked by the Jubilant boys from Dixie, that delayed tha formality of making it official. "Sparkman for Veep" banners came out of hiding to be hoisted ahlgh and carried 'round and 'round this big amphitheater. - The delegates were in a happy mood but their ranks had thinned. Many left town after the two o'clock in the morning wind-up of the scrap over tha presidential nomination. Some delegates who cams hers hoping to nominate Sen. Eates Kefauver of Tennessee for Presi dent were a little unhappy that he was not getting the No. 2 spot. There was talk in pre . session huddles ol making a floor fight to "draft Kefauver." But Kefauver told thenuhe wouldn't bear of iu BROWNING :'":r- Gov. Gordon Browning of Ten nessee made a seconding speech for Sparkman and said Kefauver did not want his name put up. He told the delegates: "We will go home happy with our part in this convention if you will give us Sen. Sparkman for second place on the ticket." There were seconding speeches, too, from Rep. John McCormack of Massachusetts and Sen. Warren Magnuson of Washington to give Sparkman New England and Far West endorsement. Reports that Stevenson had se lected Sparkman for the No. 2 snot began circulating Friday night after the presidential nom ination went to the Illinois gover nor on the convention's third ballot. Stevenson was the man who said he didn't want it. who didn't lift a finger to get it. But having been chosen by ac clamation, after a nip and tuck battle with two close running con tenders, the 52-year-old governor of Illinois went before the national convention and promised to fight for election "with all my heart and soul." The calm, measured statements of Stevenson's acceptance speech contrasted sharply with the hectic, hurried maneuvers climaxed by his nomination. At the finish, Stevenson's chief rivals Sens.
