Given his choice, he said, he
would prefer Senator Battle as an

Steel Hearing Deadline

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The
presidential fact finding board in
the steel industry labor dispute
announced today it has extended
its hearing through next Tues
day. That is the present dead
line for submission of its recon-
mendations to the White House.
The announcement showed that
the board would have to ask for
an extension of this deadline.
Members had indicated previously
that the White House would be
agreeable to an extension.
However, neither the board
members nor the parties at this
time expect that an extension
will be made in the 60-day truce
deadline, which is September IA.
Thus the delay in submission
of the report will narrow the
time for bargaining before the
truce ends. One board member
said privately he thought the
parties could decide in five days
whether they would be able to
reach an agreement after the
boards recommendations are
made public.
