The committee’s final draft un- doubtedly will include demands for a wage increase and improvements in the present insurance and pen- sion programs. But few observers expect .any serious -effort to be made. for a guaranteed annual wage, : The big industry, which has granted ‘seven rounds’ of. wage hikes since World War Il, is feeling the pinch of a business lag *for the first time in several years and this is ‘expected to weaken union bargaining power. Only recently, David J. McaDon- ald, president of the steelworkers, told the union’s 39-member Execu- tive Board that steel production is down. more than he expected it to go. McDonald said. there are 189,344 USW members furloughed from basic and fabricating steel . plants and another 257,026 members on part: time schedules: AE The union’s contracts with basic steel production companies expire June 30. Most observers expect the union to work hardest on getting im- provements in the insurance and pension programs, Any wage increase will likely be considerably less than the 8% cent hourly- hike granted last. year to boost ‘average hourly pay to be- tween $2.14 and $2.24, The guaranteed annual wage re- ceived serious consideration last fall. while the Wage Policy Com- mittee was meeting in New York but the union has had little to say about it since.

OKLAHOMA CITY &—Damage estimates range up to a million dollars today in the wake of tor- nadoes and floods which hit Okla- homa over the weekend, taking four lives and injuring at least 64. Latest reports showed twisters were seen at, or struck, 29 commu- nities. A fifth death was indirectly caused by the weather. Billy Shearler, 30, and his 84- year-old grandmother, Mrs. Annie Rubottom, were killed as they tried to outran a tornado in a truck near Gandfield in southwest Oklahoma. The twister caught up with the truck, demolished it and killed both occupants. Frankie La Fallier, 21, of Miami, Okla., and Shirley Jester, 13, of Pocasset, drowned in flash floods. A Tulsa woman died of a heart attack as she raced to a neighbor’s storm cellar when the sirens began ;to blow, warning a tornado was overhead. She was Mrs, Olive Bowman, 57.

McCarthy (R—Wis). Stevens has testified for at least Part of each of the seven days, and McCarthy said he would be “awfully surprised” if the secre- tary finishes today. Roy M. Cohn, McCarthy’s chief counsel, said in advance of the eighth day of hearings that he wants to question Stevens further about the secretary’s actions in relation to Maj. Gen. Kirke B. Lawton. Lawton, commanding general at Ft. Monmouth, N.J., and now on sick leave here, is reported to have given the Senate’ investiga- tions sub committee in a closed session testimony favorable to Mc- Carthy’s search for subversives in the Army. McCarthy and two of his aides have accused Stevens and other high Pentagon officials of trying to pressure them into dropping or diverting that inquiry. They said the Army officials used ‘as -a “hostage” Pvt. G. David Schine, an unpaid committee aide until he was drafted last November. Stevens and two associates ac- cused McCarthy and Cohn of using improper methods in seeking an officer’s commission for Schine and, after he was drafted, of try- ing to get favored treatment: for him. McCarthy has stepped off the subcommittee, which he normally heads, for this inquiry. As for Lawton, McCarthy has declared he was passed over for) promotion to. the permanent, rank of major..general. He inferred Stevens had something to do with it. Stevens said he had no author- ity to interfere with the recom- mendations of Army promotion Holding the permanent rank of brigadier general, Lawton would have to retire next Nov. 30. Stevens testified last week he “got the word” that McCarthy wouldn’t. like the dismissal of Lawton as Ft. Monmouth com- mander. Stevens said he didn’t go through with a move to transfer Lawton. He said this decision was not based on any fear of McCarthy. Weekend criticism from senators outside of the inquiry commitee on he televised scenes of a Re- publican senator battling with a GOP presidential appointee pointed up the political pain felt by some Republicans over the whole matter. Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell of the Democratic National Commit- tee said on an NBC television pro- gram .yesterday that he thinks President Eisenhower would “be better off” now if he had taken a position against McCarthy while he was campaigning for the pres- idency in 1952. Mitchell suggested that if Eisen- hower would step in and “set the tone as to whether” Stevens had “appeased’”” McCarthy, the whole investigation could be ended more quickly. He said he regards the row as “an outstanding example of weakness on the part of the Republican administration and the | Republican party.” Asked if McCarthy was helping | the Democratic party, Mitchell said he doesn’t regard the senator as “an asset to anybody” and he added: “The judgment of the public on the whole on the performance, I think, will lessen the confidence in the executive branch of the gov- Washita County. | Big Reward For Golden Cocker Greene Street Phone 2-5661 Taree norers in [MTAMI 2: rorurar prices Cuero “WR B..Plegier St. 226 N.E.

Ferguson of Michigan chairman of the GOP Senate Pol- icy Committee, said, however, he regards the hearings as “a biparti- san matter” in which the Demo- crats have about as much responsibility as the Republicans. Sen. Holland (D—Fla) said, on the other hand, “It’s a Republican controversy and it’s their business to straighten it out.” Ferguson said he thinks the hear- ings “ought to be ended at the very earliest possible date,” add- ing that “irrelevant matters should be excluded.” Eisenhower voiced hope last week that the investigation be ‘wound up as soon as possible. But the White House said it has taken no positive steps toward that end. Sen. McClellan (D—Ark), a com- mittee member, said he is satisfied the inquiry group is making prog- ress “slowly towards the develop- ment of the facts, some positive and others by strong implication, that will enable the committee to reach some fixed. conclusions.” Pope Holds First General Audience Since IIIness VATICAN CITY (Frail, 78: year-old Pope Pius XII held his first general audienee yesterday since he became ill three months ago. Observers noted he appeared greatly improved in health and his voice — during a 12-minute speech—was much stronger than in his Easter broadcast.

The vast crowd cheered ‘the Pope for 10 minutes as -he raised his arms many times in blessing and repeatedly bent far down. to- ward the children. > The pontiff’s speech, relayed over loudspeakers, warned the children against the world’s angers, Without referring directly to communism, he said a ‘“‘venomous serpent circulates through the world, disguised in many fashions, and now, it seems that he especial- ly wishes to attack. children to take them away from Jesus, to remove them from their priests and from the church.” NAT’L CHAIRMAN WON'T BACK JAMES — WASHINGTON @® —Chairman Stephen A.
