discount the possibility Mr.

because he had expressed hopes
of retiring in about a year.

suade Mr.. Matthews to stay

that he was resigning effective

Union Appeal
To High Court
SET Tomorrow
Justices Reject
Government Pleu to
Rush Steel Case
BY the Associated Press

The Supreme Court refuses
to order the Steelworkers
Union to speed UP its appeal Of
a Taft-Hartley back-to-work
injunction that would halt the
107-day steel strike.
The Government made a
strong plea to the court yes
terday to tell the union to get
going on the appeal by noon
today. Without comment, the
court denied the Justice De-
partment request.
That leaves the union until
Monday to appeal the ruling of
a Philadelphia appeals court
that upheld the injunction.
But Arthur j. Goldberg, the
union lawyer, said he expected
to file the formal appeal notice
with the high tribunal tomor-
row, and, present a complete
brief for the union case by
Monday.
This means the court prob
ably won't be ready to rule
until the middle Of next week.
Negotiations Resume
The strike will go on at least
until then unless something
comes of new full-scale nego-
tiations that resumed today at
Pittsburgh between the union
and the big steel companies.
Agreeing to return to the
bargaining table this afternoon
were a four-man union team
headed by Union President
David J. Mcdonald and four
man industry team headed by
Conrad Cooper, a United States
Steel Corp. executive vice
president.
A number of struck COM
panies continued separate ne
gotiations with union repre-
sentatives in Pittsburgh and
elsewhere in the country yester-
day. Some of these talks con-
tinued today.
One of the companies, Wheel
ing Steel Corp, was accused
by the union yesterday of fail
ing to continue negotiations.
WalkOut Charged
Paul Rusen, a union repre-
sentative taking part in the
Wheeling talks. charged that
Wheeling Steel's representa-
tives walked out Of a session
Tuesday and failed to return
yesterday. He said the unions
legal department would decide
whether any further action
will be taken.
Wheeling Steel issued a
statement today saying it had
not refused to engage in col
lective bargaining but has re
ferred the matter to the in
dustry's four-man negotiating
team. The statement said:
Representatives of the cor
poration did not leave a collec-
tive bargaining conference but
left a disorderly gathering in
which they had been subject
to treatmentsthat exceeded the
limits Of tolerance"

ice said it was glad tosshear

Another B|ood-Bath
Is Feared in Cuba
CubinetCuIIs
For Military
Trials Again

HAVANA. Oct. 20 (AP).-
Fidel Castro's cabinet early
today ratified the revival Of
military tribunals which sent
SIS Of his f',omies to execution
before firin squads.
Fears of a new blood-bath
grew with an estimated 200
persons already in jail await
ing investigation or trial as
counter revolutionaries and
unconf1rmed reports circulating
of more and more arrests daily.
Prime Minister Castro abol-
ished the controversial military
tribunals in July in favor of
civilian courts. Though the
latter had power to impose
death for activities against the
revolutionary regime, the heav-
lest sentences meted out were
80 years.
Power Fails in Capital
A power failure plunged most
of the capital into darkness
and fresh anxiety just after
the six-hour cabinet session
ended just before 2 am. The
blackout was traced to an
equipment failure, the Ameri-
can-owned Cuban Electric Co.
said, adding there was no i'm
mediate indication of sabotage.
The power went on again over
most of the city after about
two hours.
Foreign Minister Raul Roa
told newsmen that the govern
ment would deliver its reply
later today to the stiff United
States protest against the rising
nti-American campaign in
Cuba and Mr.. Castro's charges
that the United States Govern
ment had connived, at flights
over Cuba by anti-Castro exiles
in the United States.
400 Reported Held
| President Osvaldo Dorticos
rejected the United States pro-
test in a statement to newsmen
Tuesday, saying the American
statement was without founda-
ton.
Unconfirmed reports reached
Havana from Camaguey Prov
Iince that 400 soldiers in that
east-central province are being
held in a military camp there
on suspicion of conspiracy.
IOther reports said the situation
lin Camaguey appeared normal.
| The soldiers were reported to
belong to a regiment formerly
commanded by Maj. Hubert
MatoS, the revolutionary leader
accused of treason by Castro
and now under arrest.
Habeas Corpus Suspended
In support Of the re-estab-
Ilishment of military courts, the
cabinet ordered a new suspen-
sion of the right Of habeas
corpus.
The same resolution also
suspended:
A requirement that all per-
sons detained must be presented
before a court and formally
charged within "a hours. (This
law has been ignored frequently
by Fulgencio BatiSta's regime
and its revolutionary success
sors.)
The right of Cuba's Supreme
Court to determine the consti-
tutionality of laws and DEGREES.
Powers of courts to intervene
on behalf Of detained persons.
No time limit was specified
for the suspensions.
The newspaper Revolution,
organ of Mr.. Castro's 26th of
July Movement, asked United
States Ambassador Philip
Bonsal in front page editorial
to re-examine relations be-
tween the United States and
Cuba.
"Fidel Castro convinced the
people of the United States
during his visit there of the
aims of the revolution but
unfortunately" the news
paper said, "his great force
could not change the policies
of certain interests which have
attacked every revolution for

GOLDEN WING

The flicker does not believe in

of summer he shouts from the
orchard behind the barn. There
is a carrying power in his voice
that reminds one of the blue

many folklore names High

Merrywicket. He is probably the
best known of all woodpeckers
and is proof of the value of re-
peated advertising.
He is a handsome fellow, foot
in length and with an 18-inch
wing spread. There is a scarlet
band on his neck, a black streak
on his cheek and a black cres-
cent on his breast. His white
rump is definite Identification.
When in flight one can see the
yellow beneath his tail and wings
that caused pioneers to call him
Golden Wing. The nest is in a
deep hole, often in a hollow
trunked old apple tree. The five
to eight eggs are pure white. The
