Mines, Mills. 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.

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.

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.

Army Major Lifts Ban On Newsmen
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (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.
