STRIKE ISSUES
Steel,Union
Differ on
Pact Cost

In capsule form. this is where
the steel industry and the
United Steelworkers stand on
major issues in dispute:
Wages and Benefits-Union
demands a total package which
it estimates at about 20 cents
an hour, over a two-year con-
tract. Industry says the pack
age actually would raise labor
costs by 32la cents an hour
per man.
Industry offers 80 cents over
three years. The union values
this package at only "a cents.
Work Rules-Industry has
offered to submit to arbitra-
ton its demand for freedom to
change local work rules to pro-
mote efficiency and economy.
(There are thousands of such
rules affecting seniority, wash
up time, size of work crews
and other matters; they vary
from firm to firm.)
Union stands pat on old con-
tract clause permitting changes
only when new machinery is
installed It refuses arbitra-
ton, wants the question sub
mitted to a study group.
Cost of Living-The union
wants wage increases geared to
living cost increases, but only
up to 3 cents an hour.
Industry wants a tighter limit
on the oscillation.
Insurance-U MON demands
that companies pay full costs Of
life and medical insurance.
Industry insists that workers
continue to contribute.
Agreed POints-Each h a S
m a de some concessions on
wages. cost Of living and insur-
ance, but the only major issues
on which there is agreement
are:
No wage increase in first year
Of the contract.
improvements in fringe bene-
fits will be limited to insurance,
pensions and supplementary un-
employment benefits.
Union apparently has dropped
its demand for changes in vaca-
tons. holiday premium pay and
Sunday overtime benefits.

covery.
His personal five-Star nag

Wife SIuys
Ex-Skuter

MINEOLA, N. Y, Oct. 20
(AP).-Earl Van Horn, g.
year-old former roller skating
champion, was shot to death
early today by his wife after a
bitter argument in their home,
police reported.
The wife, Jean, IS, is a one
time polio victim whom Mr..
Van Horn persuaded to take
up skating as therapy for her
paralysis. She not only over
came her physical difficulties
but in time became a skating
star herself.
Mrs. Van Horn told officers
a squabble developed when her
husband came in at 8 am. after
having been drinking. After
more than two hours, she said,
she grabbed a .410-gauge shot
gun and pointed it at him.
Officers said Mr.. Van Horn,
thinking it was unloaded be-
cause he recently removed a
supply of shells from the house,
told his wife with a smile: go
ahead and shoot" The blast hit
him in the chest.
Mrs. Van Horn was quoted
as saying she had reloaded the
gun after discovering a box
of shells apparently overlooked
by her husband.
Stuyvesant Pinnell, Nassau
County chief Of detectives, said
Mrs. Van Horn has been under
psychiatric treatment for
blackouts. No charge was
placed against her Immediately.
Mr.. Van Horn won inter-
national renown and several
skating championships in the
1920s and 1930S. He also trained
many others who achieved
success in the field. For more
than 20 years he had been CO.
owner of a skating rink in this
Long Island community.

cipal's dress and began shaking
her, police said.

The White House is ex-
pected to hand down q decision

are:
/. To allow the arsenal to
remain in Army hands, doing
work for the Air Force on the
same basis as Douglas, Con-
vair or any other contractor.
2. Transfer the arsenal and
it's team to the National Aero
nautics and Space Administra-
ton, which last December lost
out on a bid to wrest control

RIGHTS

che 1857 Civil Rights Act. So
that there may be no miSun-
derstanding as to the depart
ment's position in this vital
area, I must inform you that
the views expressed, if accu-
rately reported, were not those
of the department or of any,
one authorized to speak for the
department.
This department has well
coined and respected the action
The idea of a Civil Rights Com
mission since it came into being.
The idea of a Civil Right Com
mission originated in this de-
partment. The extension of
the Civil Rights Commission
was strongly supported by this
department this year. The bill
for its extension was prepared
by this department. The At
torney General testified before
the Judiciary Committees of
both the House and the Senate
in support of this extension.
We believe that the purposes
Of the commission in no way
conflict with those of the de-
partment and that its broad
investigatory function can be
better handled through a tenn
porary commission than through
any executive department. Fur
thermore, we believe that the
commission has done an excel
lent Job and has made an i'm
portant contribution in the field
of civil rights.
Cites Progress
"With respect to the program
of the departments Civil Rights
Division, we feel that, in gen.
eral, great progress has been
made during the past two years.
Lower court decisions in GER
tain voting cases have made it
necessary that we seek rulings
by the Supreme Court as to
certain elementary points which
will be raised in any new vot-
ing case. We regret that there
is no faster way to resolve
these legal questions, but the
department has moved as ex-
peditously in resolving them as
it has been possible to move.
Certainly, the fact that there
has been this delay is in no
sense due to a voluntary re-
straint or lack of sympathy
with the program. The depart
ment will move as rapidly and
effectively as it can once these
basic determinations are made.
with respect to the recent
recommendations of the Civil
Rights Commission, the de-
partment is giving them care
full consideration. Whatever
our ultimate conclusion may
be as to the feasibility of these
suggestions, you may be sure
that we respect them as the
recommendations of sincere,
able persons who have dedicat-
ed themselves to the solution
Of some of the most perplexing
public questions of our time
and that these suggestions
merit the most careful and
sympathetic consideration.

At a news conference. Press

automation is the, core Of the

ton in the Taft-Hartley law.
Senator Cooper, Republican
of Kentucky, also has proposed

tor said yesterday that the

Investing in Hospitality.

The business community has good
reason to support the current drive Of
the Washington Convention and Visitors
Bureau for $250,000 with which to pro-
mote this city as convention center
and tourist haven. For this is q rel
atively small amount to invest in q
hospitality program designed to bring
millions Of visitors who win spend an
estimated $500 million here this year.
All types of businesses will beneflt, di-
rectly or indirectly, from the tourist
trade.
Last year businessmen contributed
$18S, 900 to the bureau, which reported
that SIS million sight-seers and 100000
convention delegates came here and left
about $367 million for hotels, stores and
other kinds Of business. It Is the convic-
ton Of the bureau that II more money
is, contributed to the city-promotion
fund this year many more millions Of
dollars will come to the city. An un-
fairly small proportion of business Arms
shared the cost Of running the bureau
last year, however. Out Of 10000 busi-
nesses in the area, only 1900 subscribed
to the fund. Since all of the firms stand
to gain, all Of them ought to share
'proportionately in the financing Of the
work Of this fonprofit agency.

Memorable Mission

Abba Eban has well earned all the
accoladeS bestowed on him during the
past week at special farewell gatherings
here and in New York. AS Israel's AM
bassador to the United States and Per-
n1anent Representative to the United
Nations, he has spent decade among
us in the service Of his country. The
secret Of his success in that respect has
been compounded Of an attractive per-
sonality, exceptional energy, taste for
hard work, brilliant historical scholar
ship and an articulateness that has
made his mission to America and the
U. N a truly memorable one.
Within recent times, of course, few
ambassadors have had more dif1cult
assignment than Mr.. Eban's. It has
been an assignment In which he has
had to cali upon all his talents in pro-
noting the best interests of the fiedg-
ling Jewish state in recurrent periods
Of immense challenge and crisis. Now,
however, thanks largely to his fine eff
forts, Israel has amply demonstrated its
ability to survive, and he is giving up
diplomacy to 60 back there and run for
ONCE. Young, vigorous and eloquent,
he undoubtedly will be q formidable
political campaigner, and none Of his
friends here In the United States will
be surprised If one Of these days-per-
haps sooner than later-he becomes his
country's Prime Minister.
In any event, now that his ambas-
sadorial mission has come to an end
and he Is about to return to Israel, he
can be sure that he Is leaving behind
him very large measure Of good will
both for himself and his country.
