Court Dashes Hopes for Strike's End WASHINGTON (./P) The Supreme Court dashed gov ernment liopes yesterday for an early end to the 108-day-old steel strike by agreeing to re view a lower court's 'order that 'would send 500,000 steelwork ers back to the mills for 80 i r days. The action was a victory for thel Steelworkers Union which chal lenged the back-to-work order on constitutional and other grounds.' It was a defeat for the Justice Department which had pressed the court to uphold the injunction issued by a Pittsburgh district judge on Oct. 21 under national emergency machinery of the Taft- Hartley law. The injunction was upheld last Tuesday by an ap- Nittanies Rated 2-Touchdown Favorites Over Mountaineers MORGANTOWN. W. Va., Oct. 31—Penn State's unbeaten and seventh ranked Nittany Lions will be out to gain more ground here today when they play West Virginia at 1:30 p.m. The Lions are a 14-pOint favorite but Pappy Lewis and his Mountaineers aren't listening because they're out to knock Off Penn State and win "Old Iron sides " "Old Ironsides" is a trophy which goes to the winner of the round-robin between Pitt, Penn State and West Virginia. The Mounties (3-3) have beaten Pitt, 23-15, so a win today would give them the coveted trophy. The Mounties alio have beat en Richmond and George Wash ington and have lost to Syra cuse, 44.0, Boston U. and Mary land.

Temperatures will be on the cool side with readings between 52 and 55 degrees. East when - Penn State's Richie Lucas and West Virginia's Danny Williams bang heads. Lucas, third in the nation in total offense, and picked as the New York Times' midseason All- American quarterback, is one of the nation's best backs. This fall he's picked up 866 yards in 136 plays-604 through the air and 262 on the ground. And his talent doesn't stop there. He's a strong defensive player and is considered a pro prbspect on these merits alone. Williams is the key to West Virginia's offensive attack. His record this fall isn't as impressive as Lucas' but he's a real threat as a passer and runner. Like Lucas, he loves to roll out and uses the option play quite a bit. Injuries have forced Penn State coach Rip Engle to make a few changes in his lineup for today's game. Bill Popp moves into the first unit right guard spot in place of Frank Korbini who's on the side lines with a badl., , twisted knee. The rest of the first unit stays (Continued on page six) • Weekend Promises Cloudy Skies, Rain Cloudy skies will continue through the weekend with periods of light rain possible at almost any time.

Acting in a brief order, the high court called for oral argu ments next Tuesday. It kept in suspension the back-to-work order until it finally disposes of the case. It directed further that all legal briefs be filed by noon Monday.

Students who are unable to see the performance may hear it over radio stations WDFM and WMAJ in a direct broadcast from Schwab. The speech will also be piped through the speaker system in the main lounge of the Hetzel Union Building. Frost has been called the poet laureate of America, The heartbeat of America arid its way of life is said to be ex pressed in his poetry. A great deal of Frost's writ ings center around New Eng land where he spent most of his life. He knows the area and its people intimately and he describes them . vividly in his poems. He often writes using the speech habits of the rural New Englander. Frost himself says of poetry: "A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom . . . It assumes direction with the first line laid down; it runs a course of lucky events, and ends in a clarification of life . . ." Frost presently resides in Ver mont and Massachusetts. At the age of 85, he continues to lecture and presents readings to students all over the country. After his performance at the University he will travel to Michigan Univer sity to speak to students there. court." In a 28-page petition, union counsel Arthur J. Goldberg said the case raises "questions of the utmost gravity" concerning "the scope of the district court's pow ers and discretion under the act, the nature of the proof required to support the findings as to peril to the national health and safety which the district court is required to make, the kinds of disputes !which the act may properly be Isaid to cover, and the constitution al validity of the entire scheme" As for the 80-day "cooling off' ;period that would be enforced un lder, the injunction, the union said Ithis would avail nothing. This was lan apparent reference to the lack of any further government weap ons to prevent resumption of the strike if it is not settled during the enforced truce. Robert Frost
