Campaign Planned To Oust McDonald Millhand Appointed To Oppose McDonald PITTSBURGH MJ — A rank-and-file group in the United Steelworkers Union, seeking to oust David J. McDonald as president of the 1,200,000-member organization, laid plans today for an azpbitious nationwide campaign.

Cancellation of salary increases for international officers; SIO,OOO a year for the three top men-McDonald, International Secretary Treasurer I, W. Abel and Vice President Howard R. Hague. 3.
