ring. ' Seven veniremen were accepted I by U.S. District Attorney Don Tabbert before Federal District Court recessed late Tuesday, but chances appeared remote that a • jury would be empaneled before Thursday. It was believed the defense would offer more motions on the handling of the case before accepting or rejecting any of the seven prospective jurors. Tabbert used two of his six per-

emptory challenges, Tuesday, exI cusing an Indianapolis housewife. ; Mrs. Alberta Armstrong, 44, and a TerVe Haute wrecking <irm owner, J.l Firman Dodd, 34. , Dodd told Federal Judge Cale Holder he was a friend of Joseph Traum, who owiied the restaurant over the syndicate allegedly operated, and thought he knew E.

was deaf in one ear, a man whose wife was scheduled to undergo surgery and a farmer who said he was a friend of Clarence Price, regional counsel for the Internal Revenue Service. Questioning of 11 of the first 12 prospective jurors seated indicated the defense might present additional motions. The 11 admitted under questioning that they had read newspaper accounts of the federal raid on the syndicate office, tfae grand jury probe and

subsequent indictments charging tax evasion. Defense attorneys hinted they would continue to mpke an isSue of “prejudicial reporting” by newsmen. , The government seeks to prove in the biggest tax evasion trial in history that the eight defendants evaded $325,315 in tax on gross wagering receipts of $3,263,150 during a 10-week period in the fall of 1957.

Report Steel Industry Has New Proposal NEW YORK (UPD — Efforts to negotiate a new steel wage contract moved toward a showdown today amid reports that the industry is preparing a new proposal in an effort to avert a nationwide strike at midnight June 30. Details of management’s peace formula were unavailable. It was hinted, however, that it would involve a smaller rise in wages and fringe benefits than that accepted by the , United Automobile Workers last fall. The auto Contract provided package increases totaling about 10 cents an hour. Four-man negotiating teams were scheduled to resume baigaining at 2 p.m. e. d..t David J. McDonald, president of the United Steelworkers Union, summoned the union’s 171-man international Wage Policy Committee to New York for meetings Thursday. It was believed the committee would remain on call here until a settlement or the strike deadine. The committee’s 33-man executive board will convene at 10 o’clock Thursday morning and the full committee will be called into session at 2 p.m. Management oircs indicated the reported industry proposal might not be ready for submission before Friday. Up to now, the industry has been standing pat on its contention that the union should agree to a one-year extension of the present contract, with no wage increase or other improvements. Management took the position that a pay raise would hike labor costs and stimulate inflation. Wildcat strikes meanwhile shut down steel mills in three cities. Twelve thousand workers were idled by a strike at the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp, plant in Pittsburgh. Another strike closed the United Engineering and Foundry Co- plant at Vandergrift. Pa., putting 1.000 men out of work. A third strike closed the 98-inch hot-strip mill of Republic Steel Corp, at Cleveland. Some of the Pittsburgh workers returned to their jobs late Tuesday. . Steel companies throughout the country have not yet started banking heir furnaces. R- Conrad Cooper, executive vice president of’U.S. Steel, and industry's chief negotiator, told newsmen the .time for banking of the furnaces is still a few days away. Both Cooper and McDonald declined to comment on the renewed demand of Sen. Stuart Symington 1 D-Mo. i that President Eisenhower should attempt to avert the threatened steel srike. He urged he President to "create an atmosphere” in which both sides would make every possible effort to reach an agreement. The President rejected a similar suggestion of Symington last week. Hold Suspect For Stabbing Os Woman RUSHVILLE, Ind. (UPD—A suspect was held and given a lie detector test in connection with the stabbing Monday night of Mrs. Charlene Hauk, 26, who awakened from a nap on her sofa to find a pearl-handled knife in her back. Police arrested an 18-year-old boy for questioning. Mrs. Hauk said she felt something hit her back, awakened and saw a man running out the door, then realized she had been stabbed. She was not hurt badly. Americans added $1.33 to their savings in life insurance, savings accounts and U.S. Savings Bonds during 1958 for every $1 by which they increased their debt. This, said the Institute of Life Insurance, was the best showing for any year since World War 11.
