INTERPRETIVE REPORT

cause, perhaps, he was being
guided by his philosophy Of
minimum Government inter-
ference. For instance:
He could have taken the
drastic step Of using the Taft
Hartley Act to delay any strike
at least 80 days. He could have
taken the much milder step Of
asking both sides to let Federal
mediators help them reach a
settlement.
He did neither. Yet a steel
strike. If prolonged. might hurt
the economy worse than in
flation, for it might turn 1t into
a spin at the very time 1t was
bouncing back from the 1858
recession. A long drawn out
steel strike would force other
industries, dependent on steel
to lay of workers.
Interviewed Mildly
There seems to be wide agree
ment that a strike Of short
duration might not be too gen.
orally troublesome because so
much steel was produced earlier
this year. and distributed, in
anticipation of a strike.
The talks droned on. After
two months Of talking and
no results, the strike was to
start July /. Again Mr.. Eisen-
hover interviewed but still only
mildly. He asked both sides
to skip the strike date and keep
talking.
They did but again the dead
line for the strike was reached,
this time last midnight, with
both sides reconciled to a shut
down. Then late yesterday Mr..
Eisenhower asked both sides
to let Federal mediators step
in and work with them for
agreement.
This move could have been
made weeks ago. Neither side
has to accept any recommen-
dations the mediators make,
yet both will be under tremen-
douS pressure to accept, since
the mediatorS represent the
Government and the public.
So all through this picture
Mr.. Eisenhower. who is re-
luctant to interfere in private
dealings, has been interfering
but not enough to prevent
the steel industry from reach
ing the point of a strike.

Reason: This multimillion

tested the candy only on its

PITTSBURGH, July is (AP) ..
-Matesic's Bar is just across
Carson street from a gate of
the Jones & Laughlin Steel
Corps South Side Works.
It is a mill bar. When shifts
change, men coming off duty
walk into the bar and have a
shot Of whisky and a beer or
maybe two or three. It's a he
man drink, sometimes called a
"puddler and helper" after one
Of the ruggedest jobs in steel

Early this morning was no
exception. The steelworkerS
were there, talking about the
steel strike that started at
midnight.
There was no sorrow in
MateSic'S-at least not on the
surface. But underlying all the
conversation was the knowledge
that every Steelworker in the
bar was off his job and without
pay for an indefinite period.
Ready for SlackOff
'Ninety-nine per cent of my
business comes through that
gate" said owner Mike Matesic,
pointing across the street.
1.-THE business looks good to-
night, but this won't last. To-
morrow things will slack off.
One day during the last strike
(1956) I only took in about 81

A majority Of American wom-
en- who use deodorantS have no
brand loyalty because they be-
lieve that after two or three
months, they build up an i'm
munity to a particular deodor-
ant. Even though they are fully
aware that most deodorants on
the market use the same basic
formula and there Is little If
any physiological support for
the belief that immunity does
develop, we women CHI ng e
brands every several months.
In view of this, wouldn't it
make sense for a deodorant
maker to put out a line of. say,
four deodorantS in four sep
arate bottles for each Of the
seasons - summer, fall, winter
and spring-and thereby help
keep us precious customers in
the corporations family?
A major deterrent to the sale
of rum is the popular belief
that connection of rum drinks
is too complex and time-con-
Stunning for anyone except the
professional bartender. Even
though preparing rum with ice,
soda or coke is no more difficult
than preparing Scotch or Bour-
bon or rye with ice, soda OF
coke, the belief persists.
Change Suggested
To combat this impression
about rum, wouldn't it make
sense for the companies to push
the ease Of fixing a drink as
well as the pleasures of the
rum taste?
A carefully nurtured convic-
ton in this country is that we,
the women. are the decisive in
f1uence in the purchase of just
about every appliance in the
house, and analysts of the
American market have empha-
sized repeatedly that if an ap-
pliance manufacturer is to be
a success. he had better appeal
to us-or else. Yet, there is per-
suasive evidence that husbands
don't agree we're so influen-
tial, and that wive tend to I'M
dereStimate the influence of
their husbands. There are sig
nificant indications that men
definitely are a factor in the
choice Of brands.
Considering this, wouldn't it
make sense for the promoters
of appliances to double and
triple-check the wisdom of
making more of an appeal to
the man on purchase of prod
uctS even for the kitchen?
In each Of six key United
States marketing centerS today

the whole economy, he faced
this question:
Did he do enough, soon
enough?
He has been anxious, because
of the need to consider the
whole economy, to avoid any
more imitation. Living costs al
ready have risen about 10 per
cent since he took Office In 1858.
New Spiral
Because so many other indus
tries depend on steel products,
the steel industry is vital to the
whole economy. II the indus
try raised its workers pay and
then raised prices to make up
for this extra cost, then:
Other industries, forced to
pay more for steel, would raise
prices on their products. And
unions, whose members had to
pay more for what they bought,
would want higher wages. In
short. a new wage-price spiral.
Mr.. Eisenhower, fearing the
effect on the whole economy If
steel wages and prices shot up,
cautioned the industry and its
workers last May S, the day
the steel union and the indus
try began negotiations on a
new contract.
He said "the United States
cannot stand still and do moth
ing" if they push wages and
prices up in an inflationary
swirl. He urged both sides in
the steel business to show good
sense.
He said the American people
couldn't stand by and see
themselves hurt.
When a strike began to look
inevitable, two Senators, Jacob
K. Javits. a New York Repub-
lican, and Stuart Symington, a
Missouri Democrat, suggested
Mr.. Eisenhower call both sides
to the White House for a con-
ference.
Rejected Proposal
Mr.. Eisenhower rejected the
idea, arguing the results would
be more hurtful than helpful
if the Government interceded
directly and tried to apply po-
litical or other pressure.
But the fact was he had al
ready interviewed on May S and
had applied presidential pres
sure to both sides to be careful.
And, in doing so, he had singled
out one industry on which to
apply the pressure.
There were other steps he
could have taken but didn't be-

Segregation by
Sex for Virginia
Schools Slated

Segregation by sex will be tried
at some class levels in charlottes-
vile, Virginia schools when the
process Of racial desegregation be-
gins next term.
The school board gave the 60
head for the experiment Friday
night, and recommended the en-
rollment Of a 18th Negro in white
schools in September.
Twenty-eight other Negro trans
fer applications which came be
fore the board were rejected. The
board said it would for
ward its recommendations in the
form of a resolution to the stnte
pupil placement board in Rich
mond.
Earlier this year, the school
board had recommended the admis-
sion OF IL Negroes TO the clty's
white schools = two to Lane high
school and the other nine to Ven
able elementary school.
Last nights action brought to
three the number Of Negroes ap-
proved by the board for enroll
ment at Lane high. The aprdi-
cant, not named, would be en-
rolled in the 9Th Grade.
School Supt Fenall r. Ellis
made the proposal for segrega-
ton by sex. He said that as an
experiment" boys and girls
would be separated at certain
class levels in every city school

segregation by sex is carried out
are to be determined later, with
the prospect that the levels will
differ It the various schools.
