Eight Policemen Shot
In Sicitian Bandit Hunt.
by ths As.oeietsd Press

PALERMO, Sicily. May l6.--
Eight Of the 5000 policemen
tracking down Salvatore Giuliano
bandit king. were hit by outlaw
machine guns yesterday. None
was killed. ~ -
For three days the vast police
forces have been on a shoot to-
kill" manhunt for the robber
chieftain who has declared war;
on the italian government.
Whether the lightning 'com-
mando raids" on the police were
staged by his men or by one Of
the less publicized outlaw bandits
which infest Sicily is not known.
The first ambush yesterday
came 3 miles west of Palermo
when q jeepload of police ran into
q burst of machinegun bullets,
Two~were wounded-one critically.
Reinforcements rushed to the
scene, but the attackers had dis
appeared when they got there. On
the way back to Palermo the re-
inforcements were hit-and this
time six were wounded.
The government has reported
that Giuliano is often supported
by sympathizerS among Sicilian
peasants. Yesterday the Com
munist newspaper in Rome
charged that he is the agent of
Sicilian landlords.
The paper. L'Unita, further
called for the resignation of In
terror Minister Mario Scelba, a
Sicilian, because of his failure to
capture the bandit.

penses wherever possible Many
members OF Consress-lncl luclne
even such liberals as Senator
Douglas, Democrat, o! Illinois
feel that Government employment

per cent.
With this frame OF mind the

Secondly. Chairman Murray OF
the House Cisll Service Commit
tee is fatty opposed TO any pay
increase at this years session
What he does favor is his own

ministration
Mr.. Murray has full control over
his committee and II Will do ~naI

many freshmen members VINO JUST
don't have the experience that
needed 10 combat the chairman
successfully. Furthermore. the
liberal members OF the committee
who had been counted on TO try
To override Mr. Murray on the pay
| issue have fallen down on the loo
! The chief reason for that is
that they are good party Demo
Gratis and close supporters oi
President Truman. And the ao-
ministration definitely doesn l
favor a cost of living pay raise
at this time. On at least one occa-
sion House Majority Leader Nc
Cormack has told them 10 play
ball with the administration on
the issue and support the re-
classification measure only.
Consequently. Mr.. Murray holds
the whip hand. He hasn't yet
even scheduled pay hearings Tor
his committee and he won't un-
less he's satisfied that his meas
ure will be the only one with a
chance OF enactment.
Thus. employe groups are
presented with a ticklish problem.
II they persist in their efforts to
win a cost-o of-living pay raise
within the framework of the ad-
ministration's reclassification bill
they stand the chance OF winding
up with nothing. For IL an at
tempt is made 10 pad the ad-
ministration' bill with increased
pay boosts. Congress may decide
to recommit the legislation and
take up the reclassification meas
ure next year.
J That's why some employe leaders
are privately wondering whether
1t might not be wiser TO support
the Murray bill as it now stands
rather than to risk winding up
with nothing. In fact. the Muir
ray measure Is a little more
liberal than the administra ton s

|Meta|working Plants
Still in High Gear,
Despite Steel Strike
By the k,,oeiotsd Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. "a. The
fourth week of the steel strike
finds the Woodworking industry
still operating in relatively high
gear, Steel magazine said.
Although the "fabricating plants
are slowing down at faster pace, "
the publication pointed out that
most of them are producing at
close to prestrike levels.
The magazines weekly review
of the Woodworking industry said
"a few shops are strike-bound, and
only a few others have been forced
to close or curtail for lack of
steel.
Certain manufacturers have
enough metal for another three or
four weeks. Some of them are
turning to substitutes, such as
aluminium"
Steel noted, however, that alum
mum soon may become scarce be-
cause of strikes at a number of
Aluminium Co. of America plants.
Prospects for the Woodworking
industry in general were described
as "bleak with steel stocks shrink
ing alarmingly."
General contraction of the in
dustry was forecast by November
l unless the dispute is settled by
that time.
Even automotive shops that
held comfortable steel supplies at
the strikes start will be pinched
by that time" Steel added. They
already are preparing to cut op-
erations by mid-November."

Stock Market Holds
To Narrow Groove;
Most Colds Rise
By Roder Winget
Associated Press Finoneiol Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-A thor
ough mixture Of gains and losses
left the stock market virtually
unchanged on balance today.
Price movements were narrow
with the spread extending to
around a point in either direction.
Most changes were in fractions.
Rails were just a SHADE higher
on average, but there were some
losses. Steels, motors and oils
seemed to want to get ahead, but
nothing much was done about it.
Most of the gold shares were
higher with Homestake pushing
ahead more than a point. It
started of on the sale of 1,700
shares up 70.
Some of the attention focused
on that group stemmed from re-
newed reports-all completely de-
MED in official quarters-that the
United States may raise the price
of gold from the present level of
$35 a fine ounce. There is increas-
ing pressure from various groups
for the Govednment to return to
convertibility-that Is, paying out
gold coins for paper currency. In
any event, any change inconvert-
ibility or the price of gold at this
time would have to be done with
congressional sanction, and Con-
gress isn't in session.
Douglas aircraft touched another
new high for the year at one time
before falling back. Buying has
been attracted by a special divi-
dend and a good earnings report.
Standard Steel Spring was a
little higher on declaration of a
