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. They
demanded the same wage Mid other
concessions asked by the steel
workera together with elimination
ol wage dlllerentlnls between
themselves and the sleelworkers.
whoa psy rales arc considerably
higher. - .
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.
The union said ore companies
which did not sign the White House
memorandum ol agreement were
holding out lor terms unacceptable
to the union.

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

(When shots are llred from a re

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.

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.

Number Two
Spot Won By
Sparkman
By JACK BELL
CONVENTION HALL CHICAGO
UI Alabama's Sen. 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. Estes Kefauver of
