FRIDAY. MAY 8. 1959 Steelmen, Union Demand Probes NEW YORK (W)— The United Steelworkers Union and steel industry exchanged demands yesterday for government investigation of each other, then agreed they'd both better quit airing theb; diffcrences in public. *The union fired off demands to the Justice Department and , National Labor Relations Board for probes of possible anti trust law and labor violations on the - part of the industry. Steel producers came back with a suggestion that if anything needs federal investigation it is, "the concentration of power the union which is what gives rise to the problems of industry self protection." b i tperts Prbdict Better Business Through 1960 HOT SPRINGS, Va. (IP)—The business upswing will continue through mid-1960 at least, Com merce Department experts now predict, despite foreseeably slow er gains this summer. Secretary of Commerce Lewis L. Strauss and his top aides were prepared to present this forecast to the government's pu.siness Ad visory Council at its spring meet ing here. The closedrsessions start today. The nearly 100 BAC, members participating, including the heads of many of the country's biggest corporations, will also give their appraisal of the outlook. This will be. somewhat less bullish than the government's, early arriving members said, but still optimistic. A sag in steel produAtion in the July-September quarter is ex pected to restrain the over-all advance. Steel output is likelit to slump even if there is no steel strike when the present wage contract expires at midyear, the govern metit experts agreed. This is be cappe the automobile - ,and other stel-using industries have been busing heavily to build up their stoSks in anticipation of either a strike or a price increase. Labor Men Plead 'Fifth' WASHINGTON (JP)—Two labor union officials, accused of exacting payments from New York area newspaper and printing firms, pleaded the Fifth Amendment yesterday as Senate investigators tried unsuccessfully to make them talk. Again and again, Harold Gross and Cornelius Noonan refused to answer questions on grounds their words might in criminate them. Cross, president of a Teamsters Local in Miami and a convicted extortionist, kept silent on testi mony of other witnesses that he charged thousands of dollars to assure labor peace at a New Jer sey commercial printing firm which turns out, among other things, Sunday supplements for newspapers. He also balked at saying wheth er he pocketed other thousands for seeing to it that Sunday sec tions were delivered without in terruption to . the New York Times, "Swam risen choose Wildroot, the nen.olcokolic hair tonic!" .let a little bit vk of Wildroot anal...WOW! W? i R. Conrad Cooper, chief nego-1 tiator for U.S. Steel Corp. and the industry, then suggested more' progress would be made in the weeks remaining before current contracts expire June 30 if "we work at it privately and dili gently." Union President David J. Mc- Donald agreed. The union demands for govern ment investigations were based on Cooper's disclosures Wednesday. He said the industry is consider ing various plans in the event the union•adopts a divide-and-conquer strategy of striking •anly part of the industry July 1 if there is no new agreement by then. Ar . thiar J. Goldberg, union coun sel, wrote the Justice Department that a profit-sharing plan in a par tial strike would violate antitrust laws; He also complained to the NLRB that a lockout plan—in which all companies would close down if only a few were struck— would violate the Taft-Hartley Act. CoOper retorted that the indus try, while considering what it might do under all eventualities, has decided nothing finally. the New York Mirror and the New York Journal-American. Gross also wouldn't comment on whether there is any racketeer- Mg in his Teamsters Local 320 in Miami. Noonan, head of a New York longshoremen's union affiliate, al so invoked the Fifth Amendment when asked whether he shared in payoffs which purportedly in cluded more than $300,000 from the Neo Gravure Printing Co., Weehawken, N.J., over a 14-year span. , • 84 • ' Prompt Repair Service *Car Radios *Portables *Table Radios *Record Players *TVs Come hear Zenith or RCA '59 Stereo at WJAC-TV • 8 F'RIDAY 6:00 Sports-Weatb. 6:30 Bold Journey 7:00 Highway Pa trol 7 :80 'PoWeal Talks 3:00 Why Berlin? 9:00 M Squad 9496 Silent Serv. 10:00 Boxing, Gas.. par TS Stitch 10:41 Jackpot Howling 11 :001.1ews-Sporta 11:15 Movie, "'The Corpse Came C.0.D."

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE "COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Postal Rate Increase Proposed WASHINGTON (IP) Postmas ter General Arthur E. Summer field proposed yesterday a one cent increase in first-class letter and air mail postage. Summerfield sent Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.) a letter and a draft of legislation to make the increases. The proposal would raise the rate on a first-class letter from 4 cents to 5 and on air mail from 7 cents to 8. Summerfield said higher rates are needed "to provide additional revenues in order to assure that postal revenues will more nearly equal postal expenditures." He estimated the increases would bring in an additional 355 million dollars a year in revenue. The current operating deficit of the Post Office Department has been estimated at more than 500 million dollars a year. Postal rates were raised just late Aug. 1. At that time, they went from 3 to 4 cents an ounce for first class mail and from 6 to 7 cents an ounce for air mail. President Eisenhower indicated in his budget message to Congress in January that he would ask for higher rates. de Gaulle's Peace Statement Queried CONSTANTINE, Algeria (IP)— President Charles de Gaulle's statement in France yesterday that peace is in sight in Algeria seems almost grotesque in this grim, heavily patrolled eastern Algerian city. Two days after clashes between Europeans and Algerians tension grips the people. Authorities fear more trouble in the city where De Gaulle launched his famous "Con stantine Plan" to swing the Al i gerians to France. De Gaulle's name now is booed by some Eu ropeans. These accuse him of a sellout. Hope for peace looks equally dim from neighboring Tunisia, where leaders of the Algerian na tionalist rebellion vow to con tinue their fight against France. 90000000000000000000000. 0 0' i the Charter Oak Inn 0 g New SYLVAN ROOM 0 0 0 og Located between Mateer 0 O Playhouse & C.E.

"Meet Ma in St, Louis" :==:: FCC Asked to Alter Equal-Time Ruling WASHINGTON (A')—The administration asked the Fed eral Communications Commission yesterday ; in the name of common sense, to reverse its ruling that the equal-time-for candidates requirement applies to newscasts. This is the ruling which on March 18 prompted President Eisenhower to say it is ridiculous to impose such a requirement. Radio-TV industry leaders said the same thing. At that time White House press secretary James C. Hagerty said Eisenhower was not criticizing the FCC for its interpretation of the equal-time law, which was set up primarily to cover political speeches. Yesterday the approach wasl more blunt. A Justice Department brief, released after Atty, Gen.' William P. Rogers conferred with Eisenhower, asked the FCC for' "a common sense application" of the law Eisenhower had asked Rogers whether a remedy should be sought through legislation or oth erwise. The action yesterday showed that Rogers favors the "otherwise" approach—asking the FCC to change its rule. The disputed FCC ruling was handed down Feb. 19 at the re quest of Lar Daly, a Chicagoan who regularly runs for various offices without much support or success. Daly was announced as a can didate for both the Republican'. and Democratic nominations lo be mayor of Chicago. The principal , candidates were Democrat Rich ard Daley and Republican Tim othy Sheehan. Daley and Sheehan had ap peared on television newscasts for example when they filed their nomination papers. Also Daley was shown in his capacity as ma yor greeting a distinguished visi or, opening a charity drive, and so on.
