Steel Orders
Turn Upward
During Week

NEW YORK, Jan. II (AP).-
Orders for steel, which had
seemed to be leveling off. picked
UP again last week, Iron Age
said today.
The Woodworking weekly
said "the market strength is
ripping outward from the Mid
west, which has been the CEN
ter of the most aggressive
ordering"
1t indicated that much of the
ordering was a hedge against
possible contract difficulties
next June between the indus
try and the United Steelwork-
ers of America.
The pickup in orders came,
Iron Age said, despite "leaks"
by the administration that
pressure would be put on the
steel industry and the steel
workers to tie up the next con-
tract within a month";"
1t said steel users would like
to follow the administrators
implied advice and not pile up
inventories.
But, the trade magazine said,
"as companies they cannot af-
ford to be caught without steel
in the midst of a rising de-
mand."

KNOXVILLE, Mo. tR - A $5- million Continental Airlines jet, possibly torn apart by a violent storm, fell to the ground in sections last night, killing all AS persons aboard
 Although violent storms ragged across southern Iowa during the night, there was speculation today that a second plane may have been Involved in the crash. Authorities at Kirksvil1e reported that pieces of a plane which did not seem to he part of the jet had been found
 However, at Kansas City, J. M Newman, assistant administrator for the FAA Central Region, said so far as his agency was concern cd there was no collision. He said the radar reading showed only one tbilip, indicating there was only one plane in the vicinity.
 The only known survivor, res- cued from an intact section of the fuselage after an al1-night search, died in a hospital 90 minutes after rescue,
 He was Takehiko Nakano, 27, an engineer who carried business cards listing addresses in Oak Park, Ill, and Los Angeles
 He was removed from the mid- ale section of the fuselage, which, shorn of it's wings and tail section, plunged into a shallow gully about 20 miles from where debris first started spewing from the doomed plane.

CHINESE REDS STOP FLOW OF REFUGEES

HONG KONG sH Reports from the frontier said Red China border guards late today began to curb the flow of refugees into Hong Kong. Britain has asked Peiping to intervene because this colony has been sWamped by the flow of fugitives.
 Border area residents said Com munist guards first shouted orders that groups waiting to cross should return to their home villages, then fired warning shots at those who still attempted to cross.
 There was no confirmation from Hong Kong authorities.
 For month, the Chinese Com nunists seemed to have been en- couraging the refugees to cross the border. There had been specula- ton the Communists want to em- barrass the British, who have been forced to turn back as many as they can catch because the colony can accommodate no more.

Committee Is
 Mum On .JFk's Health Care Plan

WASHINGTON R = The ex- change of salvos by President Ken nedy and the American Medical Assn. on health care for the aged has changed no votes where at the moment they count most = in the House Ways and Means Committee.
 This was the consensus today Of committee members on both sides of the dispute over providing hos pital and nursing benefits for per- sons retired under social security.
 The key vote by the committee on Kennedy's bill, which would provide such benefits and increase payroll taxes to pay for them, probably will come during the sec ond week of June. The committee has had the measure under con- sideration for a year.
 Thirteen of the committees g votes would give the measure a favorable report and fair chance of passage this year. Without ia vorable committee action passage is still possible, but extremely doubtful.
 While most members of the committee are not saying publicly where they stand, opponents appear to have an edge which could be overcome if as many as four uncornmitted members decided te l go along with the adrninistratio

US. May Admit Chinese Refugees

WASHINGTON tR - The Ken nedy Administration is consider ing emergency action, it was learn ed today, to admit some Chinese refugees from Hong Kong to the United States.
 Officials said the exact number who might be covered under such action has not been determined but the size of the potential emergency immigration quota may range from LOGO to several thousand.
 President Kennedy has been deeply concerned about the plight of refugees from Communist China pouring into the British crown colony of Hong Kong, then being returned by the thousands behind the barbed wire barricades because of Hong Kong's overcrowded con- dition.
 Kennedy was expected to dis cuss the problem and possible lines of action at his news conference. One of his major aims, officials said, is to encourage maximum re- settlement of Hong Kong refugees in other countries.
 So far the Chinese Nationalist government has said it would take refugees from Hong Kong to the island Of Formosa, provided the United States will help provide relief facilities and transportation US. officials said they were also
 greatly pleased with Canada's an. nouncement of readiness to take l 100 Chinese families.
 State and Justice Department of ficials said that under existing i'm
 migration laws the administration specifically, Atty. Gen. Koberl Kennedy may determine in ar 1 emergency situation that it is in tine national interest to admit re- fugees under parole in spite of ordinary quota barriers. The law normally limits the number of persons who may come into the United States from many countries. Tn the case of persons of Chinese origin, the annual quota is 105, officials said.

FAIRBANKS FIRM FILES $1 200, 900 SUIT AGAINST STATE OF ALASKA

FAIRBANKS M A $1 ,200, ,000 suit has ben filed in Suprior Court here against the State of Alaska.
 Wright Truck and Tractor Serv- ice, Inc, of Eairhanks, in filing suit against the state cites the vio- lation of certain contract terms, delays in a highway construction project, plus excessive redesign and cost.
 Tn October of 1860, the Wright co. contracted with the State to construct a section of highway be- tween Soldotna and the Kaslloff River.
 The Wright co. states the con- tract price was $731, ,745.75. The suit asks judgment of $1, 100000 plus $100, ,00n actual damages.
 The Wright Go. alleges that State knew that the plans and specifi- cations for the project were CT roneous and inadequate and that 1t required extensive revisions. The suit states in part, "nothWithstand- ing such knowledge on the part of the State, for political reasons the State, by letter dated October IT, 1860, gave plaintiff notice to proceed with the work in accord ance with the provisions of the contract"

EoorhbiiiEihg.ht ihg.ht Declared In
 ssGo'' Condition

CAPE CANAVERAL R - Prof. ect Mercury experts today success fully completed the first section of a countdown pointed tow ward launching astronaut Malcolm Scott Carpenter into triple orbit of the earth tomorrow.
 All systems in the Atlas rocket and Aurora ' capsule were declared in "Go" condition. The only cause for possible alarm was a haze of acrid smoke spreading from forest fires about 20 miles west of here and big swamp fires in the Ever glades 200 miles south.
 Officials were hopeful, however, this would not be dense enough to prevent Carpenter from taking off on the path first broken for the United States by John H. Glenn IT. last Feb. 20.
 May Cut Number of Orbits
 There was a possibility even if this smoke did not prevent the blast-off, it might cut the number of orbits by delaying the launch. The sky must be relatively clear in the launch area so cameras can trace the rocket.
 An announcement from the Ma tional Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration said: Tt is expected that visibility may be improved sufficiently by mid-morning that limited camera capability can be attained"
 If the launch is delayed much past 9:30 am. EST, the number of orbits would have to be cut from three to two, in order to give recovery teams sufficient daylight to spot the capsule in the ocean. Officials insist on three hours of daylight for this task.
 The experts planned to take an- other reading on the smoke situa- ton before picking up the count down around midnight.
 Carpenter, whose flight has been postponed four times for technical reasons, was reported at the top of his form and eager to go.

Aviation Agency at Kansas City, viewed the fuselage this morning and said it appeared to have been broken up by some tremendous force. "
 He said the plane apparently broke apart in the air and pieces spread out as they fell.
 Jerry Hoshner, a member of a Continental Airlines investigation team, said the flight should have been at about 39,000 feet and travelling 500 to 6O miles per hour at the time of the crash.
 The inside of the fuselage was a tumble of bodies, seats, luggage and clothing.
 The craft, Boeing TOT, made it's last report about 120 air miles northeast of Kansas City where it was due to land about g minutes later.
 The plane then disappeared from the FAA surveillance radar at Kansas City.
