Couple Loses
Adoption
Fight Here

A Montgomery County couple
may have lost their legal fight
here to adopt foster child they
raised from an infant to 10
months of age.
Adoption proceedings filed last
week by Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd r.
Crump, of Wheaton, was baked
when Circuit Court J u d G e
Thomas M. Anderson, of County
Circuit Court, ruled his court did
not have jurisdiction in the case.
The Crumps learned at the
hearing that an attorney for the
couple that now has the baby
filed similar proceedings in a
Wicomico County court one day
before the Crump's action in
Montgomery County.
The Crump's attorney, Will
liam Dunphy, Immediately an
nounced he would file a petition
to intervene in the Wicomico
County case. He said he will
base his arguments largely on
the fact that the Crumps raised
the child, repeatedly asked to
adopt the child, and helped the
child overcome what at first was
thought to be a mental retarda-
ton.
The Montgomery County Wei
fare Board has rules that bar
foster parents from adopting
welfare children. They may,
however. apply as adaptive
parents if they are not caring
for foster children, department
spokesman disclosed.

He said today the appeal was

1900 Blank ChecksG
ToRetiredU.S Workers

The Treasury Department
discovered today that it sent
out 5000 checks to retired civil
service employes-and had left
the amounts blank.
Chief Disbursement Officer
Julian F.. Cannon said it was a
human error" Treasury work
ers overlooked one important
step in getting the checks out
last week.
1t was the first time such a
large number went out in blank
although the error has hap
pened on a smaller scale in
the past, he said.
The checks were sent to pen
sioners throughout the coun-
try, Mr.. Cannon said. Letters
already have gone out explain
ing the oversight to the 5000
persons involved.
Mr.. Cannon said one entire
lot of fully signed checks was
not put through a special inter-
preting machine, which records
the amounts. Perforated dots
on the checks which indicate to
the interpreting machine the
amounts to be printed had been
punched on the checks, he said.
Consequently, Mr.. Cannon
said, the recipients of the 5000
blank checks may send them
back to the Disbursement Divi-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-01

sion and have them run
through the machine and the
checks will be on their way
again in the return mail.
o., if the pensioner lives in
or near 10 cities where regional
Treasury Offices are located
that are equipped with similar
interpreting machines, tn e
checks can be recorded there,
he added.
Mr.. Cannon pointed out that
the Disbursement Division sent
out is million Government
checks last month from its
Washington office. OF these
100000 were to civil service
retirees.
The mistake was discovered
today-the date the pensioners
were due to receive their checks
in the mail-when calls started
coming in.
Treasury workers sent the
checks through three more
processing steps-including the
placement of Mr.. Cannon's sig
nature by another machine
after failing to send them
through the machine that
prints the amount.
Additional steps are being
added for more careful check
ing before the payments are
put into the mail, Mr.. Cannon
said.

SteeIWoIkouts Spread,
Union OrdersMen Back

NEW YOK, July l (AP).-
Disgruntled steel workers
staged scattered wildcat strikes
today, ldling more than $4,000
persons despite pleas of Presi-
dent Eisenhower and orders of
union officials. Top union lead
erS quickly directed them to get
back to work.
One huge steel plant in
Pennsylvania was shut down
when members of the United
Steelworkers Union set up
picket lines. Others in Cleve-
land and Pennsylvania were
preparing similar production
halts.
Back to-work orders went
out from Union President
David j. Mcdonald and other
union leaders in midmorning.
The walkouts among the Ma
tons half-million steelworkers
began late last night and
snowballed this morning.
Union and industry negotia-
tors on Saturday bowed to a
plea from Mr.. Eisenhower that
the current contract, due to
expire at midnight last night,
be extended two weeks for fur
ther negotiations.
Mr.. Mcdonald, here heading
the unions four-man team
seeking to negotiate a new con-
tract with the Nations major
steel producers, said of the
wildcat strikes:

Talks between the IL largest
steel companies and the union
were being resumed today after
"a weekend recess. Two ne
.gotiating sessions were sched-
uled daily, in place of the single
meetings held in previous
weeks.
Among those hardest hit in
the rash of walkouts today was
the Jones & Laughlin Steel
Corp. plant at Aliquippa, Pa.
which employs about $4,000
persons.
Pickets kept some IS, 900 union
members from reporting for
work on the 8 am. to 4 pm
shift. Some pickets carried
placardS saying: mo Contract
NO Work"
At Cleveland, another wildcat
walkout spread at the Republic

The company said 2,700 day
shift workers were absent. The
plant employs $500 Oh a three

Luebke Wins Election
AS Bonn's President

BERLIN, July l (AP).-
Heinrich Luebke, 64-year-old

President of West Germany
today on the second ballot.
Mr.. Luebke was the candi-
date of Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer's Christian Demo-
cratic Party.
Mr.. Luebke won with 526
votes in the l,038-member cleo
toral college. There were six
more than needed. Mr.. Schmtd
had 1856 and Mr.. Becker SO.
Mr.. Luebke had SIT votes,
or 3 shy of the Required ma
jority, on the first ballot. Mr..
Schmid had 1856 on the first
ballot and Mr.. Becker l04.
Second Ballot a Surprise
The failure of Mr.. Luebke
to collect the necessary votes
on the first ballot came as a
surprise. The Christian Dem
ocratic Party had confidently
predicted a quick victory. They
had sic electors present, only
4 short of a majority.
He defeated Carlo Schmid,
g., the Socialist candidate, and
Max Becker, II, who was the
choice of the Liberal Free
Democratic Party.
Despite Communist protests
