Steel Makes Last Attempt To
 Settle Differences

PITTSBURGH, (PD - Big Steel and CIO got together with federal mediators today in last ditch try to slave off a nationwide steel strike at midnight.
 But even as they met, the news was not good.
 From coast to coast, and from the Gulf to the border, the gigan- tic steel industry banked its fires in readiness for the strike. And thousands of Philip Murray'S United Steelworkers jumped the gun in wildcat Walkouts.
 William N. Margolis, assistant director of the federal mediation and conciliation service, and Peter Seitz, it's general counsel, met with the diSputants.
 Surprisingly there was an air of good humor.
 Nobody mentioned in public the point at issue: Should the union help pay for its insurance and pensions
 But Murray joked with report CTS and he grinned as he asked Margolis:
 'Is the enemy here yet?"
 A mediator has no power other than the power of sugges- ton. Sometimes he can hit on an

(By The Associated Press)

CBy The Associated Press)
 A dynamite blast rocked a coal company tipple yesterday in a fresh outbreak of violence in the nations coal fields.
 John L. Lewis united mine workers Weer to resume negotia- tions yesterday with two big branches of the coal industry amid stormy background of blasting, gunfire and stone hurling.
 The mine workers wrat h against non-unionmen working the pits in defiance of the union brought this fast-breaking chain of events:
 1. A blast at a tipple of the Junedale Coal Company at Grass Flat, Pa, ripped off the roof, tore off part of one side and damaged generators and motors in the building.
 2. A gunfire flareup at Jasper, Ala. reportedly resulted in the death of one miner and the serious wounding of another. The sheriff there said he could not confirm the death, however.

B-36 BOmbers Move Toward
 Alaskan Bases

FORT WORTH, Tex. (P)-The Star-Telegram said yesterday long range B-36 bombers began nov ing to Alaskan bases last week at the same time President Truman announced an atomic explosion in Russia.
 The newspaper said the huge bombers were manned by crews trained to deliver the atomic bomb.
 The 9th air force, whose 7th bombardment wing is the on;y wing in the air force operating B-36's, is located at the CarsWe!i ! air force base here. Eighth air force headquarters described the B-36 flights as routine training missions"
 However, the Telegram said it learned one of the planes which flew to Alaska carried Brig Gen. John William P. Fisher, Cars well base commander and com mander of the 7th bombardment wing.
 Maj. Gen. Roger Ramey. the 8th's commander and one of the top experts in the air force on atomic warfare, was scheduled 10 return to his headquarters here yesterday after more than a week of conferences Tn Washington.
 Col. Cecil Combs, Ramey's dep uty commander, left CarSwell Tuesday on one of the B-36 flights to join Montgomery and Fisher at Eielson Air Base near Fairbanks.
 Combs was accompanied by Maj. Gen. Earl Barnes, member of secretary of defense JOhnson's special weapons evaluation board.
 Previous test flights from Cars well to Alaskan bases were made during the summer, to test opera tional characteristics of the big planes in weather conditions of the Far North and to survey fa- cilities available there for crew. men and for servicing the planes.

Russia Ends Her Friendship Treaty With Yugoslavia

LONDON, (4) - Soviet Russia Scrapped her friendship treaty with Yugoslavia yesterday, declar- ing that Premier Marshal Tito's regime has lined up with foreign imperalistic circles"
 The decision ending the alliance signed in l945 was disclosed in a Soviet note to Yugoslavia. It was broadcast by Moscow radio.
 The note declared the Budapest trial of former Hungarian foreign minister LaszlO Rajk, sentenced to death Saturday, disclosed Yugo- slavia had been carrying on hos tile activity against the U. s. s. R.
 Rajk was accused specifically of plotting with YugoSlav and Amer ican agents to overthrow the Mos coW-backed communist govern ment in Hungary. Marshal Tito denounced the trial as a Russian propaganda move aimed at weak ening his Yugoslav regime.
 The Russian action was the Sharpest diplomatic slap at Yugo- slavia since the MosCow-led cominform expelled the Yugoslavs in June, 1948.
 Since that time Russia and her eastern European satellites have clamped an economic boycott on Yugoslavia.
 Marshall Tito on Tuesday ac- cused Russia of rattling the saber and digging trenches in the satel- lite countries along the Yugoslav border in an attempt to intimidate his country.

SEATTLE, (R - Alaska Lions would like to borrow few snakes, please.
 They haven't any handy be- cause it's too cold up there for the cold-blooded reptiles.
 Fred R. Geeslin, president of the Mt. Edgecumbe Lion Club and assistant superintendent of the Alaska Native Service, wrote the Seattle Park board asking for the loan of some snakes. He figured Alaskan curiosity-seekers might pay money to see them, and the money could be given to commun- ity projects.
 Zoo officials, however, said that their pet snakes, recent re- cruitS from India, are not yet ac- climated to Seattle-and a trip to the northland would throw them completely off.

for being self-conscious. TIL Q
statement which upset the radio

better this place will be to live
