Mr.. Blough of United States
Steel raised the curtain on the
three-day drama late Tuesday
afternoon when he called al
the White House to tell Prcsi-
dent Kennedy that his COM
pany had decided to raise
prices. This happened 10 days
after steel industry leaders had
negotiated a contract with the
United Steelworkers of America
The administration had put
pressure on the union to hold
its demands down, and the
President hailed the contract
as a non-inflationary one,
which would make it unneces-
sary for steel companies to
raise prices.
Mr.. Kennedy practically de-
clared war on the price-boosters
at his news conferenc e
Wednesday. calling the price
move "a wholly unjustifiable
and irresponsible defiance OF
the public interest"
Mr.. Blough defended the in
crease at Thursdays news con-
ference as necessary to provide
profits for investment in mod

GI Quarters Pay
Boost Approved
BY the Associated Press

The House Armed Services
Committee has approved a 1921
million increase in quarters al
lowances for the military serv-
ices. The increase would raise
this item of defense spending
to ST 54 billion yearly.
The total recommended by
the committee yesterday is $32
million more than the admin
istration asked. The commit
tee favored larger increases for
lower = ranking enlisted men
than were proposed. The COM
mittee also set october l as
the starting date, three months
earlier than the Defense De-
partment proposed.
Under the measure quarters
allowances for senior non-coms,
now ranging from $51.30 to
S96.90. would scale from 5000
to S120.
The measure would increase
a second lieutenant'S allowance
from $3.50 to Sll0 a month
and a generals allowance from

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Inland SteeI's Block
Takes Brood Views

CHICAGO, April IA (AP).-
Joseph L. Block stands 5 feet 2
and is quiet in voice and dress,
but his thoughts frequently are
big and broad-gauged.
When his Inland Steel Co.
chose to stand pat on prices
yesterday it started a reversal
of an industry trend toward
price hikes. Inland said it's &C
ton was in recognition "of the
national interest and competi-
tive factors"
Although Mr.. Block, chair
man of the board, was in Japan
at the time, the decision re-
flected his thinking. Mr.. Block
spoke in a somewhat similar
vein in April, 1852, when Inland
decided not to apply for a price
increase offered to steel COM
panies by the Office of Price
Sterilization.
Another spiral of initiation
can only be prevented by max
ing no change in either wages
or prices" Mr.. Block stated at
that time. when he was Inland'S
executive vice president. There
has been no wage advance;
consequently we are not ad-
vancing our prices"
Grew Up in Steel
Mr.. Block, now So, virtually
grew up in the steel business.
His father, L. E. Block, and an
uncle, P. D. Block, were among
seven young men who founded
Inland in 1893. He joined the
company shortly after he left
Cornell University in 1922.
| He rose through the cor
porate strata to vice president
in 1880, president in 1853 and
chairman and chief executive
officer in January, 1859. But
his thoughts and efforts went
beyond his company and his
industry.
He has served as president
of the Chicago Association of
Commerce and Industry and
the Community Fund of Chi
cago and director of the Jewish
Federation of Chicago.
| During World War II he
spent three years in Washing
ton, as a dollar-a-year man
with the steel division of the
War Production Board. Cur
rently, he's a member of Pres
ident Kennedy's Advisory Com
mittee on Labor Management
Policy.
FavOrs Employe Civic Work
Mr.. Block also encourages
Inland employees to do civic
work. They get time off from
work for such service.
"a corporation can be a good
citizen, too," he set forth in a
speech in 1854.
What is good for the general
public must be good for bust
ness"
Mr. Block directs Inland -
the Nations eighth largest
producer - from its 19-story
glass and steel headquarters

Estes Started Empire
Alb With ! Eve Lamb
BY MIKE QUINN
Dallas News

DALLAS, Tex, April IA
Billie Sol Estes, 37-year-old
Pecos (Texas) financier, first
saw his West Texas grain-agri-
culture-fertilizer empire begin
to crumble during a late March
meeting in Dallas with II of the
Nations largest finance COM
panieS.
During the meeting, the fl
nance companies said that they
held notes in excess of $22 mil
lion on Estes.
At the time, Estes, who
started his financial empire
with a eve lamb when he was
l3, had come to Dallas to talk
with the companies. Then the
worlds largest distributor of
anhydrouS ammonia. an i'm
portant fertilizer in West Texas
irrigated farmlands, he also
owned grain storage elevators
with 54 million bushels capacity
and other enterprises connected
with agriculture.
There were hints during the
Dallas meeting that Estes was
in trouble, but it was not until
"a hours later, on Thursday
night, March 90, that the ak
| fell.
Arrested by FBI
Estes was arrested in Pecos
by FBI agents and held under
$500,000 bond while being
charged along with three al
legged associates with conspiracy
and with interstate transporta-
ton of stolen property in the
form of falsely made. forged,
altered and counterfeited" chat
tel mortgages on 100 anhydrous
ammonia Oiquid fertilizer)
tanks.
Estes had been doing a land
slide business in mortgages on
the anhydrous ammonia tanks
throughout West Texas and
the high plains of the State.
AS it later turned out, Off
cials alleged that mortgages
were obtained on tanks that
didn't exist and then the
mortgages we're sold to a fl
nance company. Government
officials also alleged that some
of the mortgages were forged
or altered.
AS Estes sat in jail in PeCos.
unable to make the whopping
$5OO,0O0 bond, the State of
Texas jumped into the case with
Attorney General Will Wilson
sending three top assistants to
PecoS to investigate Estes op-
Grafton.
And while Estes waited for
bond aid, the stories of his life
poured across newspaper pages,

Kennedy Set
To Reject
NucIeur Aid
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy is expect
ed soon to rule against a rec
ommendation that the United
States assist France in achiev-
ing an independent nuclear
weapons capability.
The recommendation is re-
ported to have been made by
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, Mr.
Kennedy'S adviser on security
affairs. following a recent toul
which included Paris and other
capitals of nations in the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Qualified informants said to-
day Gen. Taylor's recon-
mendation was the latest in q
series of such proposals. Other
United States military leaders
including the Joint Chiefs o1
Staff, also have suggested thai
the United States reverse its
standard nuclear weapons pol
icy to help French President
de Gaulle achieve his goal Of
a French nuclear force.
United States officials sait
today there is no prospect Of
such a change in American pol.
icy. Both Mr.. Kennedy anc
former President Eisenhower
have avoided direct action tt
assist France in developing q
national nuclear capability.
/ But it was evident that Gen
Taylor'S action has forced a re.
view of the situation, and thai
Mr.. Kennedy still has to make
his final decision.
| France has exploded severa
atomic devices. The actual de.
velopment of an effective mil.
itary capability in nucleal
weapons, however. requires fal
more than the ability to make
a number of atomic devices. Il
is a question of extremely ex.
/ pensive, large-scale industria

Il Il a sc
tact with Inland'S executives
in Chicago.
Other officials in the thick
of the Administrators hold
the-line campaign included De-
fense Secretary Mcnamara,
Commerce Secretary Hodges,
Labor Secretary Goldberg and
Treasury Undersecretary Fowl
er, all of whom have extensive
business contacts.
One of these officials said
the approach was to express
concern about the effects of
price increases on economic
growth. the balance of pay
ments and other problems. He
said the contact men urged
their steel industry friends to
weigh the price decision care
fully, with full consideration
for the public interest.
He said no threats of retalia-
tory legislation were used in
the conversations he knew
about.
But the administration used
a carrot and a stick indirectly.
The Justice Department
started a New York grand jury
investigation of possible price
collision, and the Senate and
House Antitrust SubcommitteeS
announced plans for hearings
on steel.
Mr.. Mcnamara yesterday Or
dered defense contractors and
suppliers to buy steel. when
possible, from companies not
raising prices, and announced
that his department was study
ing how to use materials other
than steel in weapons and
construction.
The Pentagon action would
have punished price-raiSing
companies and given companies
holding the price line a chance
to reap big profits. Discrimina-
tory steel procurement. how
ever, would have had only nui-
sance value if most companies
had raised prices.
Kaiser Holds Line
At 3:05 pm. yesterday, the
Kaiser Steel Corp. announced
in Oakland, Calf, that it would
not raise prices for the time
being.
Then the dam broke at 3:2l
pm, Bethlehem Steel Corp,
the induStry'S Second-ranking
producer, announced in Beth
lehem, Pa. that it would cancel
its S6-a-ton price increase.
Be ethle h m defended the
merits of the price rise, but
said it had to back down for
competitive reasons. That is,
Inland's and Kaiser's refusal
to go along with the price boosts
forced Bethlehem to cancel.
Meanwhile, Labor Secretary
Goldberg flew to New York
and conferred with Mr.. Blough
and other executives of United
States Steel. He presumably
stated the obvious, that United
States Steel could not make its
price boost stick with other
companies selling steel cheaper.

Worthington said: "The price
