porter, ais an area of geological
change. The mountains Of the
West are still growing slowly
higher, and are rated as geologi-
cally young mountains.
"And the rising up Of the
ground that causes the push
ing-up of the mountains re-
suits in a condition Of change
which in turn creates stresses
in the rocks all the way from
the earth's surface to q depth
Of several hundred miles.
"This stress can build up over
long periods Of time and then,
on occasion, result in an earth
quake. It is rare, however,
that actual faults or uprisings
Of the earth's. surface are pro-
duced."

One of Mr.. Mitchell,s jobs
is to watch developing circum-

Fact Finding to Go On
The Secretary said he will
continue his fact finding after
releasing the interim report.
He said representatives Of
the companies and the union
looked over the data last week,
and some of their suggestions
were adopted.
He said he hopes release Of
the report will clarity the
positions of the companies and

Many observers believe pub.
lie opinion will dictate the
ultimate strike settlement.
Mr.. Mitchell said he made
no recommendation to the
President this morning on &C
ton to settle the strike, and
added that the report will not
Judge the arguments of the
companies and the Union.
President Eisenhower repeat
edly has warned against a set
Element that would force steel
prices up. The companies have
responded by refusing to settle
on any basis that would in
crease employment costs, ar
guing that such a contract
would be inf1ationary. They
have expressed willingness to
grant a small wage increase in
the second year of a new con-
tract. provided that the union
accepts changes in work rules

The union maintains the
companies can afford to grant

Record Power Demand
An all-time record demand for
power led to the city's predica-
|ment and woe aplenty for
Consolidated Edison.
A company spokesman said
that at IL am. yesterday the
city and parts Of neighboring
Westchester County were draw
ing $4,000 kilowatts. The pre-
vious high was 3.s54.ooo on
June 10.
The record demand was at

Intense heat. leading to q grow
ling use Of air-conditioners and
c ooling devices. Particularly
stricken by the power failure
was an area with q large per-
centage Of modern apartment
houses with air = conditioning
systems.
Increased Requirements
These have been growing in
number in recent years. Along
with these have come more and
more television sets and other
electrical devices-and eyer
growing electrical power re-
|quirements for their operation.
Yesterdays troubles were laid
to a burn-out Of power cables
leading. from Consolidated
Edison's generating plant at
Hell Gate on the East River to
a network Of lines feeding power
TO the Central Park area.
1t was explained that such
trunk cables grow hotter with
more electricity passing through
them. The heat results from
the cables resistance to the
passage Of electricity.
When the ground surrounding |
them also Is hot, as it had been |
for days, the cables excessive |

that they could not handle the |
