a breakdown of their payroll'
about six weeks ago, contending
it would be unfair to their Of

Since then, however, Senate
Republican Leader Dirksen has
said he had no objections to
Senators disclosing their pay
rolls voluntarily. But Senator
Dirksen opposed a plan by
Senator Morse. Democrat Of
Oregon, to force such dis
closure.
Salaries for the rs persons
employed by Senator Javits

ton would be to continue pres
ent wages in the industry for
another year. The union has
turned down this proposal,
contending that wage increases
and other contract benefits are
justified by the industry's
profit position and the national
economic situation.
Industry's Stand
The industry's letter to Mr..
Mcdonald said in part:
1T is economic nonsense to
contend. as your union has for
many years, that steelworker
wage increases can and should
be absorbed and paid out of
profits.
wages are the most i'm
portant element Of costs in our
industry. If the steel industry
had attempted to absorb all
cost increases since 1916. with
out any price increase, by the
end of 1857 its losses would
have reached a staggering $35
billion. Bankruptcy would
have occurred long ago."
Some industry leaders have
said privately that prices would
stand still if labor costs stood
still. They insisted, however,
that such a pledge could not
be incorporated in a contract
with the union without violat-
ing antitrust laws.
In rejecting the price freeze
proposal, the industry letter to
Mr.. Mcdonald said:
I'VE do not intend. now or
in the future, to bargain or to
have any understanding with
you on this subject"

regulations had been IN effect
at the outset Of the program.
The regulations now state.
among other things. that a
husband and wife are con-
sidered one farm producer for
purposes Of applying the IS 1000
limitation. Further. farmers
may not escape the limitation
by deciding land TO cousins,
grandchildren or other kinfolk.
Total conservation payments
realized from dividing up farms
amounted in some cases to
more than the total price of
the farms.
The Government Accounting
ONCE reported the miscalcula-
ton in computing rates for
acreage payments on land
placed in the soil bank that ac-
counted tor an estimated $780,
900 overpayment in Texas.
Department officials acknowl-
edged they miscalculated in
assigning a rate of $40 an acre
to Texas and SO an acre to
New Mexico.
$10 Is Average
The department said both
States should have been as
signed a SO rate. The rates of
all States for conservation pay
ments were weighted to a
United States average of $40
an acre.
The department said that
since the miscalculations APP
piled to contracts already en-
tered into, no action has been
taken to attempt to change
them. The rates have been
corrected, however, for subse-
quent contracts.
Chairman Written, Democrat
of Mississippi, of the Agricul-
ture Appropriations Subcom-
mittee, was sharply critical of
some practices under which
land is placed in the conserva-
ton reserve under long-term
contract payments.
\ Mr.. Written said he had
information in one case that
a timber company was collect
ing Government farm subsidies
for putting its land into trees
to grow timber stands.
He cited another account in
which lessees in Colorado al
legedly leased land from the
State for 81 an acre and rented
it back to the Government to
place in the soil bank for Sc
or 81 an acre.

to escape the $1,000 limitation
on total conservation payments
to any one farmer.
Rules frightened
In neither instance was there
any question Of illegality on the
part of farmers. But regula-
lions have since been frightened
to prevent a recurrence.
In the case of the $4,000
limitation, the committee cited
instances where it said land
was decided to relatives or
others and the multiple owners
then each collected conserva-

Health Secretary Flemming
forbade the treatment of poul-
try with the female hormone
stilbestrol because some resi-
dues found in the skin, livers

to breast cancer in men. He
said that these already treated

denly and we'll just have to
wait until all the offers of still

today.
Agriculture has asked that
the stilbestrol- treated birds be
in frozen form. There have
been a number of inquiries by
poultrymen but no firm offers
of sale as yet.
Most of the chickens to be

Chalk DELAY
bAnaIyzed

District highway officials to-
day examined reasons given
by o. Roy Chalk for the delay
in the repaving of New York
avenue from First street NE.
to Seventh street NV.
The job. which is expected to
be completed in about a week,
has been delayed about two
months. The original deadline
for the job was october 10.
Mr.. Chalk's firm. the Trans
portation Corp. of America,
faces a penalty clause in it's
contract with the District to
pave New York avenue at a
cost of about S663,9l2. If high
way officials feel the reasons
given for the delay are not
justified, Tea could be charged
$3.50 for each calendar day past
the OCTOBER deadline.
Mr.. Chalk, president of both
D. c. Transit. Inc, and Trans
portatlon Corp, has requested
a time extension on the prof.
ect. giving, so far. two reasons
for unavoidable delay"
One, he says was the con-
struction Of a sewer line across

Phone Service
 Is Speeded Up [.

The time required to place tele- phone calls between Alaska and the remaining AS states and Hawaii has been cut in half, the US. Army Alaska Communication System announced today.
 This reduction of time applies to the cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks, the first major cities of Alaska to receive the newly in- stalled automatic switching equip ment. The new switching equip ment will automatically switch incoming calls directly to the Alaska subscriber from the auto- matic switching equipment of the Pacific Telephone Company locat- ed in Seattle. Formerly these operations had to be performed by local manual operations in Seattle and Alaska.
 The Seattle automatic switching system and similar facilities in g major metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada enable local operators to dial direct to telephones in thousands of com munities on the network. Conver- sely, the addition of Seattle to the operator dialing network makes 1t possible for. Anchorage and Fairbanks, to connect to the con- tinental network. Thus operators in these two cities can dial direct to telephones in thousands of com+ munitieS on the continent and even in Hawaii.
 The number of teelphone calls made each year between Alaska and the rest of the nation is steadi7 ly increaasiinr1g. Since ,pee. ;;2S, when the cable of the A T.&.
