Factories Record Only Slight Gains WASHINGTON f AP Still suf fenng from aflcr-clfccts of the ttool strike, the nation's mines, mills and factories made only client production gains last month. The index of industrial produc mm (93313 tion rose only one point to a rate 43 per cent above the 1!I47-4!I av erage, although the strikers went hack to work under a Taft-Hartley Act injunction early in November. The index was issued Tuesday by the Federal Reserve Hoard. No gain at all would have been registered except for the fact that the board revised downward its October estimate of industrial out put by one point. While steel mill operations rose from 14 per cent of capacity in October to 60 per cent in Novem ber, the resumption of deliveries after the 116-day strike came loo late to prevent some auto assem bly plant slowdowns and shut downs last month. By mid-December, the board said, steel mills were running at per cent capacity and auto pro duction was rising rapidly. The producers of neither dur able goods nor soft goods showed gains in November, but the output of minerals rose steeply as activ ity was resumed at coal and iron ore mines which had been idle throughout the strike. The board summarized national business conditions as follows: "Industrial production and em ployment in November began to recover from the steel strike low, although shortages of steel cur tailed output in some lines and reduced deliveries of aulos to consumers.

OLDS-CADI LLAC-Hillman 7th & Klamath Ph. 4-4154 Concert Held For Children Blind, Deaf WASHINGTON (UPI) - Some of them laughed though they couldn't see. Others sang though they couldn't hear. It happened at a one-of-a kind Christmas concert here Tuesday given for the fifth year in a row by Mrs. Jouett Shousc, vice presi dent of the National Symphony Orchestra Assn. As a "Christmas present to my self" Mrs. Shouse puts on the an nual concert for some 2.600 deaf, blind, crippled or otherwise handi capped youngsters from the capi tal area. Some came into , the Catholic University gymnasium in wheel chairs, some carried canes tap ping the floor ahead of them some managed to maneuver with only a friendly adult on either side for moral support. So many came some had to sit on the floor. After the music began, the youngsters acted like kids the world over. "Pop Goes The Wea sel" got more handclapping than did Handel and the clash of cym bals In "Carmen" drew squeals, When it came time for every one to join in singing Christmas carols, one pig-tailed girl strained to read the words on her pro gram. She couldn't despite three cataract operations so far but she sang with a shy smile anyway. Also singing was a group of teen-age, boys wearing the khaki outfit of a training center for de linquents. When National Symphony con ductor Howard Mitchell Intro duced the orchestra's instruments, one youngster leaned over to steady a palsied friend who want ed to see the bassoon. Mitchell began by explaining that at a concert "everyone must be absolutely quiet so everyone can hear. The tiny little boy in the back couldn't be blamed for violating the rule and crying all the way through the concert. He could hear all right but he couldn't see what was causing all the noise. ... n Bridge Toll Will Begin PORTLAND (AP) - Toll gates on the Interstate Bridge across the Columbia River that links Portland and Vancouver, Wash., will go into operation Jan. 4.

Main "Our Location Sovei You Money" nifimm mm mi mm ,um Ph. 4-3134 WASHINGTON (UPI) - John L. Lewis decided to stcri down now as president of the United -Mine Workers to head off a pos sible power, struggle over his eventual successor in the union leadership. This was the explanation that associates gave today for the 70-year-old labor leader's surprise announcement Tuesday that he is resigning as UMW chief early next year. They also said departure from office would not silence the "thundering voice of the captain of a mighty host," as Lewis once described his role in ' behalf of the miners. These friends said Lewis cer tainly would continue as a non paid trustee of the UMW's wel fare fund. They also expect him to testify before congressional committees on coal industry prob lems. Lewis was said to be seeking to insure an orderly transition" In the UMW leadership by lining up his successor well in advance of the union's presidential elec tion next December. UMW Vice President Thomas Kennedy, 72, automatically steps into the top job when Lewis bows out. Kenncdy was expected to run for -a full four-year term as president. But all eyes within the union will be focused on the man se lected to fill Kennedy's vice pres idential spot. That choice may be made far ahead of election time to build up the man who even tually will succeed to the presi dency. In his letter of resignation, Lewis praised Kennedy to the skies. John Owens, secretary-treasurer of the 500,000-membcr , union, is 69 and his colleagues believe that he is not interested in mov ing up the ladder. This leaves two men promi nently In the leadership picture W. A. (Tony) Boyle, about 50 an assistant to Lewis who came out of the Montana district of the UMW, and Michael F. Widman, director of market research and a former CIO organizer in auto plants. Although the race has just started, these two are considered to have the inside track to suc ceed Kennedy eventually as presi dent. Both have been working on high priority tasks for Lewis in recent years. JOHN A. DUGGAN, an air man, son of Mrs, Thelma I. Duggan of 5035 Summers Lane, recently completed the initial phase of basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, He will attend an aircraft and mis sile maintenance school at Amarillo. He was graduated from Klamath Union High School. 10 Guildsmen Back On Job PORTLAND (AP)-The number of Portland Newspaper Guild members back on the job at the struck Oregonian and Oregon Journal across picket lines was reported at 10 today. Eight relumed Monday and another Tuesday, despite a 117-23 vote by the guild last week to continue observing picket lines placed around the two newspapers by stereotypers who walked out Nov. 10. The 10th guildsman re turned scon after the walkout started. The return of the reporters and photographers was the first break in the union front since the strike started. The newspapers have published a combined edition at The Oregonian plant with non union and supervisory employes since the dispute started. The state Wage and Hour Com mission yesterday ruled a labor strike is adequate reason to re quire women to work more than the 44 hours a week specified by law. Ex-Actor Freed In Dope Case LOS ANGELES, (AP) - One time child actor Bobby Driscoll, 22, has been freed of a charge of possession of paraphernalia for the use of narcotics.

(AP) Maj. Donald N. Vales, who ordered newsmen barred from missile launchings because of a news service story, lifted the ban Tuesday. The commander of the missile test center said his action in ef fect 24 hours was based on a mis understanding. Rescinding of the ban by Vales came after a strongly worded tel egram from Lyle Wilson, vice president of United Press Inter national in Washington, denying Yates charges that a UPI story Saturday violated an agreement not to pinpoint the date of a fu ture space probe. Wilson said the story was based on inlormation from independent sources in Washington, not on briefings at the test center. The story, carrying a Washing ton dateline, told of plans to send a rocket to the vicinity of the plan et Venus and into orbit around the sun. It said the firing would be Tuesday. After the slory appeared, the. launching was postponed for tech nical reasons. The Air Force officials told re porters Monday at his weekly news briefing that the news service had violated an agreement not to release the launching date. As a result, Vales said, for the time being he would not brief re porters on future military launch ings nor allow them to cover such launchings from the press site here. Scientific launchings by the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration were not affected by the ban, and no military rockets were fired while it was in effect. Wilson's telegram to Yates said the UPI would accept reasonable regulations of news coverage at the test center but "we will not for a moment submit to nor per mit long to endure your interler ence in news coverage here in Washington. "It may surprise you to learn." Wilson said, "that you have no monopoly on Information with re spect to missile plans at Cape Canaveral. The newspapers and magazines usually know in some detail what your plans are and they are published regularly for the information of the public, which, after all, is an interested party. The public pays the bills." Wilson said much of the mater ial in the Washington story came from the UPI's own library ol inlormation collected for futur use, and the rest was from in dependent sources "and in no way related to any agreement you had with newsmen in your area. "We resent your implication that we violated an agreement," Wilson said. "We did not do so. Under the circumstances, we ex pect you to lift the ban." Yates wired Wilson in reply that h planned to reinstate press coverage of the military firings immediately and regretted "the current misunderstanding." Charles Warren, chief of the Mutual Broadcasting System's news bureau in Washington, also had protested to Yates. He said the charoes against UPI were "demonstrably unfounded." War ren said Mutual had broadcast the report two days prior to the UPI report. PROVE THEIR POINT NORMAN, Okla. cfl Members of the Southwestern Arson Investi gation Institute proved their point.
