Steel Firms Fight
For Price Increase
Is Heading for Test
By Froncis P. DouoIos

A test case appeared to be shap-
ing up today to determine whether
steel companies granting wage in
creases may break the OPS CELL
ings on prices of steel products.
The Weirton Steel Co. yesterday
asked for a $3.50 a ton price in
crease. Price Stabilizer Ellis Ar
nall indicated it would be rejected.
They can get what they are
entitled to and no more" he said.
what they are entitled to is
about SO a ton, under the Cape
hart amendment"
Might Go Higher.
Mr.. Arnall has held this posi-
tion all through the long steel
wage-price dispute. However,
Economic Stabilizer Roger l.. Put
nam said recently that steel COM
|pany requests for high prices
would get a friendly and sympa-
thetic hearing" He suggested it
might be necessary to go higher
to get a steel settlement. The
White House will have the final
say in the matter.
The Capehart amendment pro-
vides for price ceiling increases for
manufacturers to compensate for
higher costs up to last July 26.
Surprisingly. the company's re-
quest for a $3.50 increase was not
based on the Capehart amend
ment. It cited higher wage and
freight costs without reference
to any other increases in price" to
which it may be entitled under
the Capehart provision.
The company, in a letter signed
by President T. E. Millsop, said
higher wage costs resulting from a
new wage contract signed last
week would add $3.50 to the cost
OF a ton of steel. It put the cost
lof increased freight rates on
materials it uses dating from last
August. as equal to $1.35 a ton of
finished products.
Adds up to $7.21
The two added cost figures come
to $7.21 a ton; but the company
said that. since some of the CAL
culations are based on estimates,
it is asking for only $3.50.
The company said it realized
that any increase in price it OBJ
tains may also be made applic-
able to other steel producers who
have incurred or will incur SINH
lar increases in direct wages and
other COSTS"
OPS has insisted that the only
increases the steel companies are
entitled to are those allowed un-
der the sCapehart provision.
Profits Of the industry, according
to OPS. make impossible any price
boost on the ground earnings are
below standard.

THE investigation may possibly
result in suspensions Of other po-

An air of mystery surrounded
the nature of the charges against
the two men. Police officials and
Mr.. HaSSan refused to elaborate,
saying that the investigation
could be hampered by premature
publicity.
Chcrges Not Disclosed.
Carlisle Johnstone director of
the Department of Public Safety,

said the suspensions were recon-
mended by him and Maj. William

Off-Hours Offense.
Both police privates said they
felt their police work was above
reproach. They said they are
charged with an offense during
off-duty hours.
Neither would specify the nature
of the complaints. Pvt. Pearson
said he would not appeal the sus-
pension and he was aware that
his discharge will be automatic
at the end of a Today appeal
period. Pvt. Livesay said he had
submitted his resignation a week
ago asking that it be effective
September S. He said he hoped the
resignation would take precedence
over the suspension.

Cab Driver 5 immunity
Question Sidesiepped
AT State Department

The State Department yester-
day sidestepped the question of
a cab drivers diplomatic i'm
munity.
The cabbie in the case is a
Saudi Arabian Embassy chauffeur
who has been driving cab part
time since 1949. He is Walter C..
Hook, jr., who was arrested Thurs
day morning for speeding in
Prince Georges County and
claimed diplomatic immunity.
A check of his District traffic
record disclosed he held hackers
license. Police records also showed
that some of his traffic tickets
had been cancelled, presumably
because of his diplomatic employ
ment. The records showed in other
cases, he had forfeited collateral,
presumably in his role as cabbie.
Scope Of Immunity Questioned.
Polio. Commissioner F. Joseph
IDonohue and the State Depart
lment were questioned by The Star
lon the scope of Mr.. Hooks diplo-
lmatic immunity.
Police Inspector Robert D.
Chenault, acting superintendent
yesterday, took the view that an
lembassy employe on the State
Departments white list" had
diplomatic immunity regardless of
what he did in his spare time.
IF they're registered with the
State Department" said Inspector
Chenault, "they can claim diplo-
matic immunity. It shouldn't make
any difference what they do.
That's the law"
DOnOhue Disagrees.
Commissioner Donohue dis
agreed. He said he had not studied
the law on the subject but his Off
hand opinion was that diplomatic
Immunity attached only to an en-
Iploye serving an embassy and
would not apply if the employe
was driving a public vehicle fol
hire.
A State Department spokesman
