COP Gaining
 In Pennsylvania

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (P)-Repub- lican forces made deep inroads in Democratic strongholds today to put the 26th Pennsylvania Congress sional district seat back in the COP fold and hand the Truman Admin istration a setback.
 Naval veteran John P. Saylor, who supplied the flag raised on Two Jima, recaptured the special election prize his party lost in the 1948 Truman sweep.
 And he did not without men tioning in his campaign the name of Democratic gold star mother Mrs. Robert L. Coffey, Sr., who sought the Congressional post va cated by the death of her son in a plane crash.
 Since Mrs. Coffey had received Truman's endorsement and had campaigned with ringing support of the entire flair deal" program, her defeat was seen as a blow to the administration.
 The western Pennsylvania vote provided the first test of the Pres ident's "fair deap' program since last years ballotting, Republicans and Democrats alike regarded it as a clue to the 1850 Congress cleo

Charge Balkan Countries With II. N. Violations

WASHINGTON, CPD-Secretary of state Acheson announced today that SoViet-dominated Bulgaria, Hungary mad Romania will be charged in the United Nations gen eral assembly with violations of human rights.
 The secretary emphatically re- neWed at his news conference the long British-Ameri a charges of Jealous disregard of the human rights clauses in the peace rights treaties with the iron curtain nations.
 He said the three Soviet satel- lites have just turned down a pro- poSal by the United States that they name commissions, as pro vided in the peace treaties, to take up the dispute over charges that they have repeatedly violated the agreemnts. ThSe call for fair trails and various personal freedoms.
 Bulgaria, Hungary. and Roman ia, Acheson said in a statement which he read, continue 10 insist that they have not violated the hu- man rights clauses of the treaties but they are unwilling to apply the procedures specifically provided in the treaties for just such cases of disputes over whether or not violations have taken place"
 The U. s. and Britain, acting along identical lines, have been trying for some two years to get the satellite countries to agree to act on the treaty violation charges, but without avail. Soviet Russia has backed them, cOntending the trials of churChmen and jailing of political foes of the communists was an internal affair"

Need Time, Place For Contract Talks In Steel Bout

PITTSBURGH (P)-Only agree men on time and place is needed today to start new steel contract talks. Outcome of the negotiations may depend on the reluctance of some steel companies to- pay the entire cost of insurance and pen SionS program.
 Reluctance of some steel com panieS to approve in advance the Presidential boards proposal that they pay for such programs was interpreted in some quarters as holding a new strike threat. -
 A spokesman for the CIO united steelWOrkers sadi that union presi- dent Philip Murray's statement he is ready to resume negotiations for a contract based on the boards re- port meant that he will strike any companies which failed to agree to pay all insurance and pension costs.
 At least two company officials said workers ought to share the costs of such programs.
 The CIO united steelWOrkers and four leading steel producers are ready to resume contract talks. They will seek a settlement more or less based on the Presidential fact finders recommendation of a 1O-cent hourly package increase. The board advised against any wage boost.
 NegotiatOrs will be working un- der an 1l-day extension of the strike deadline which expired at midnight Tuesday.
 The union accepted. the boards recommendations without reSerVa- tions. That meant giving up its drive for a fourth postwar round of wage increases in 1949. The un- ion said the boards suggested TO- cent increase in the form of com pany financed insurance and pen sion programs was good enough.

PITTSBURGH, C4' - Big steel started lining up yesterday behind the Presidential boards formula for peace in Americas basic in dustry.
 There won't be any steel strike for the next Il days-and maybe none at all. The wage dispute that threatened to tie the nation in eco- homie knots apparently is headed for a happy solution.
 President Truman is highly gratified" about the whole thing. CIO united steelWorkers and six major steel producers agreed to extension of the strike truce at re- quest of the chief executive. The truce expired at midnight last night. It will continue to Sept. 25. The steelworkers also accepted recommendations of the Presi- dents steel fact finding board even though it meant giving up a fourth round wage increase.
 "The President is naturally highly gratified," said the White House. "He is very much pleased with the way things have devel- oped up to now"

To You is no idle figure of speech.
The best way to lower the odds
against yourself" Mr.. Sheridan
said SIS to remember that when
you're behind the wheel of your car
you're like a rolling powder keg
with lighted fuse It's not neces-
sary for anyone else to be involved
to create a fatal accident. In 1947,
$500 persons were killed in auto
mobile accidents not involving
another vehicle, a pedestrian, or
fixed object in the road, nationally
and the percentage was higher in
Montana.
The bulk of the blame in these
incidents rests on the drivers care
lessness, ignorance, or disregard for
traffic regulations.
Just paying attention to your own
safety, the Montana Highway Pa
troll believes, may not be the per-
feet solution, but when the day
comes that every driver and pedes-
trian adheres to it, our traffic acct
dent figures will be mostly con-
cerned with deaths and injuries re-
sulting from automobiles being
trapped under falling trees, or IN
other freak accidents.
Referring to such a possibility,
Mr.. Sheridan said. I'D rather cope
with falling trees than with some
