Kaiser Steel Corp. Breaks Away, With
 Motion for Seperate Union Contract

WASHINGTON, R - The Kali ser Steel Corporation, breaking away from industry-wide nego- tiations in the 104-day-old steel strike, began separate negotiations with the United Steelworkers Union today and expressed opti- misrn on chances for settlement.
 The surprise action preached the solid front of the basic steel industry in it's long and bitter contract fight with the United Steelworkers Union.
 While Kaiser said it would bar gain alone with the union in Washington, talks between USW committees and other individual steel firms got under way in Pitts burgh and elsewhere.
 These sessions were distinct from a scheduled meeting here of top union officials and represen- tatives of the biggest companies led by U. s. Steel Corporation.
 A note of urgency was injected into the peace maneuverings as the U. s. Third Circuit Court of Appeals announced it would give it's decision tomorrow in a Taft Hartley injunction proceeding against the strike.
 Latest American Iron and Steel Institute statistics rank Kaiser as the nations ninth largest steel

producer, with an annual capacity of 2,933,000 ingot tons about two per cent of the national total.
 In announcing the decision to break away from the big 12 bar gaining group, Kaiser Steel board chairman Edgar F. Kaiser said:
 ''We believe Gt is the only responsible step we can take in the face of mountaing national emergency caused by this 104-day strike"
 Employing 10,615 persons, Kali ser is the biggest steel manufac- turer west of the Mississippi Ri yer. Its main plant is at Fontana, Calf.
 In it's statement reporting an agreement between Kaiser and the union, the II other large produ- cers said Kaiser estimated the cost to itself at 10 cents per hour per man in the first year of a three-year contract. They added it would cost them IT cents an hour the first year.
 The statement said:
 ''In addition to the cost differ ences, there are matters of prin- ciple with respect to pensions and insurance which are wholly un- acceptable to the other steel companies.

Egan Suggests
 US. Lend Shoulder TOLink Continents

At Nome, Governor Egan, when informed of this development, made the following statement to The Nugget:
 Some might view reported Russian plans for huge dam in Boring Strait between Alaska and Siberia as being a tonguein-cheek dream. I do not take that view.
 "A joint scientific research venture conducted by engineers designated by the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union could well result in this proposal of Birisov's becoming a reality.
 ''The United States, the Soviet Union and other nations are presently spending tens of bil- lions of dollars annually on de- fensive and offensive weapons of war.
 'sThe intense desire of citizens of all nations is for a lasting and realistic world peace. The Boring Straits dam proposal is one which would involve the expenditure of less than twenty billion dollars in the direction of this end.
 "A sincere dedicated approach to this project with the obvious benefits that would accrue to mankind in many nations of the world, could provide the break we are all praying for in easing world tensions.
 "I am convinced that the United States Department of Sta te should immediately commence ex- ploratory negotiations with the Soviet government in this matter.
 'Iet not the people of Alaska or of the other states of our Amer ican union underestimate the ulti- mate possibilities of the veritable dam bridging of he Strait.
 OH1LCQ oldICS lOSlldIOI w dl1 CIl Magnuson, of Washington State, has for years seriously advocated an under the-ocean highw y across Boring Strait, to link the North American continent with a land route to Asia.
 "Borisov's plans would accom- plish the Washington Senator's objective as an incidental feature of the overall construction.
 'sI say let us urge our United States government to exert every possible effort to effectuate this great engineering and human challenge.
 'If the two great powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, lend their shoulders to- gether to this great task, then men everywhere will know that international suspicious, envies and fears are rapidly disappear ing from the face of the earth" :"

Russian Engineer Completes Plans for Gigantic Boring Strait Pontoon Dam

MOSCOW, tR - The Russians Saturday reported plans for a huge dam in Boring Strait be- tween Alaska and Siberia a dam which they said could trans form Arctic wastes into fertile fields. Close Soviet-American CO., operation would be needed for the project.
 Tass, the Soviet news agency, said the idea is for 46 mile bar rier of reinforced concrete pon- toons between the western tip of Alaska and the Chukchi Penin- sula. Designs for the dam have been completed by Soviet engin- ger called Pyotry Borisov and de- tails have been published in Lit erary Gazette.
 Exactly how the dam would be positioned was not disclosed. For ty-six miles would not be enough to bridge the 55-mile gap be- tween Chukchi Peninsula and Alaska
 A Tass translation of the Liter ary Gazette article said: "Borisov maintains that the dam, which would be "A kilome- ters (46 miles, wide and would separate the Chukchi Peninsula from Alaska, must be sectional. consisting of ferro-concrete pon- toons with pumps.
 Such pontoons could be built on the Soviet and American coasts, floated down to the Boring Strait and installed there"
 Borisov claimed that his dam Twill make it possible to change frozen ground on the territory of the U.S.SR., the U.S.A., and Canada, into fertile fields" He said it would work this way.
 'The dam across the Boring Strait should neutralize the effect of the Labrador, East Greenland and other cold currents on the powerful and warm Gulf Stream"
 Water pumped from the Arctic
 Water pumped from the Arctic tralize cold currents which would be unable to meet and mix with the Gulf Stream" Borisov said
 Simultaneously these pumps would step up the influx of the warm Gulf Stream waters. The Gulf Stream would pass unham- pered through the Arctic Ocean, giving off it's heat"
 As result, Borisov said, Ca direct flow of warm Atlantic wa ters through the Arctic into the Pacific would be created instead of the present confused cross cur rent of warm and cold waters which maintains and reneWs the oceans ice cover. This straight flow would destroy the ice"
 Preliminary estimates put the cost of the dam at about TO bil- lion rubles, amounting, at the off cial exchange rate, to more than IT billion dollars
 Borisov said the scheme would benefit not only the northern ter ritories of Canada and America, but also Scandinavia, Germany, Poland, China and northern Japan.
 However" the engineer said, lit is mainly the concern of the two most powerful states the U.S.S.R. and the United States - the closest neighbors in the Ber-

of changes but little time to
pursue social things in any
form, so this column will be

to capacity just as our own uni

the corners. Never before was
there such a large freshman

all along the eastern seabOard.
1t is good that parents have the

recognize the Importance of
college years.
Thanks be, it is cool again!
The hot days seemed to have
such a hold on the weather
one wondered just when it
would let up, but these last
days have been so lovely and
the tension of the heat has let
relaxation take place. Maybe
too much so for everyone is
enjoying doing just the neces-

are out.
