Supreme Court Upholds Injunction To Direct Steelworkers Return

WASHINGTON (UPD — The Supreme Court upheld foday a Taft-Hartley law injunction directing the striking Steelworktrs back to their jobs for 80 days. The court issued a five-page unsigned opinion in the, pieced entmaking case four days after hearing arguments on it by the government and the United Steelworkers. The opinion provided that the court's mandate should issue “forthwith,” thus making the back-to-work order effective immediately. Justice William O. Douglas dissented. Justice Felix Frankfurter and John M. Harlan noted that they would file “an amplification” of their views later. They said it could not, be pre- , pared within the time limitations required for a prompt ruling on the case. The court’s brief opinion did not rule on the meaning of the term “national health” as it is stated in the Taft-Hartley law. “We need not resolve this question.” the opinion said, “for we think the judgment below is amply supported on the ground that the strike imperils the national safety." Consider Defense Needs The court said it relied “upon the evidence of the strike’s effect on specific defense projects.” The union had suggested that a selective reopening of some of the steel mills would suffice to take care of specific defense needs. But the court said there is no room in th* statute for. ..this re quirement The court upheld the constitutionality of the 80-day injunction provision. It concluded that the statute entrusts the courts only with the determination of the kind of dispute “on which the judicial power can operate.” The union had contended that the law gave the court a legislative or executive function. No Constitutional Violation "We are of opinion that the provision in question as applied here is not violative of the constitutional limitations prohibitng courts from exercsing powers of a legislative or executive nature, powers not capable of being conferred upon a court exercising solely ‘the judicial power of the United Statse’,” the court said. The Steelworkers had also argued that the law is invalid because it does not set up any standard of lawful or unlawful conduct on the part of labor or management. The court, however, said: “But the statute does recognize certain rights in the public to have

KATMANDU, Nepal (UPD - A massive land and air search was being organized today to comb the barren, snowswept slopes of towering Gauri Sankar Peak in the Himalayas, on which it was feared 32 mountain climbers lost their lives. Prime Minister B. P Koirala expressed deep concern over reports all but two menibers of a 34-man Japanese - led expedition were missing on the sheer slopes of the 23,440-foot peak west of Mt. Everest on the NEPAL-Tibet border. He ordered an immediate search. Gauri Sankar has never been scaled and is considered unscalable from the Nepalese side. If the 32 climbers have been burled under an avalanche, as it was feared, the tragedy would be the worst in the history of mountain-climbers in the Himalay#S Gene Three Weeks The men were first reported missing Friday, when two Nepalese Who went to check on the expedition returned here and said the clirnbres had been away from their base camp at the 18,000foot level three weeks.

Veteran court observers could not recall the last time one was issued. Federal mediators had given up trying to settle the 116-day strike pending the high court ruling. Federal Mediation Chief Joseph F. Finnegan dropped mediation efforts Friday after management and union negotiators hit a new deadlock.

Bieberich, of route 2, Decatur, for courteous driving. The award to Mrs. Bieberich was the fifth to a woman of six awards presented in the Chicago Motor Club and Daily Democrat “Courtesy driving award contest.” Mrs. ■Btebtertch, who has had more than 20 years of driving experience, followed the pattern of other drivers, when stopped, she expressed a fear that she had committed some wrongful action. “I just didn’t know what to expect when yOu stopped me,” she uttered hesitatingly to the sheriff. Upon presentation of the 85 check from the motor club, she accepted most delightedly, saying, "I never expected to win one of these driving contests. Not because I’m not a safe driver, but because I’m just not lucky.” Sheriff Affolder said he followed Mrs. Bieberich from 13th and Monroe through town to the court house, where she parked on Madison street. She exerted extra caution at the railroad tracks, and executed good signaling procedures on both left and right turns. Selections yet to be made are a pedestrian with good walking habits, a bicyclist, a highway motorist, a teenage driver, and one more local motorist. These results will be featured in articles next week in the Daily Democrat;

Probing Report Os Disc Jockey Bribes

WASHINGTON (UPIQ( — Congessional investigators turned today from rigged TV quiz shows to charges that disc jockeys accept millions of dollars a year in bribes to flood the air with certain records? especially rock ’n’ roll. The House subcommittee also will look into allegations that “deejays,” song publishers and record firms rig top tunes polls, even paying teen-agers to pose as regular record customers. In addition, the new inquiry will dig deeper into secret pay- 1 offs for backdoor TV advertising plugs and other broadcast "de- i ceptions.” It also may consider ' misleading and offensive commercials. The president of the National ■ Council of Disc Jockeys early today sent a “vehement protest” against the subcommittee’s airing ' the payoff charges. Murray Kaufman, of New York City radio station WINS, said in a telegram i to the subcommittee that only 5 per cent of the nation’s disc jockeys choose their own music. He asked that the group issue a public apology “immediately.” Open Pandora’s Bex Rep. Walter Bogers (D-Tex ), itwmbwdfo subcommittee. . said the group might nag* as far as the old age of many TV feature movies. He said the new investigation, not expected to begin for a month, would open “a whole Pandora's box.” The subcommittee completed its month-long series of hearings on quiz show fixing Frdiay. Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark.) immediately announced the new inquiry. He said he already was convinced “some corrective action is necessary.corrective legtion is necessary to clean up the quiz scandal. Reconvene Dec. 9 Harris said the subcommittee would reconvene Dec. 9 to discuss the new inquiry and also to reopen its investigation into the tangled finances of New England industrialist Bernard Goldfine. Harris placed in the committee record a complaint from Burton Lane, president of the American Guild of Authors and Composers, that commercial bribery has become a prime factor in determining what music is played on many broadcast programs and what musical records the public is surreptitiously induced to buy.” Kohne Funeral Rites Here Monday Morning i Funeral services for Edward J.

Americans Are Shivering In Record Cold United Press International Much of the nation between the Rockies and the Appalachians shivered in record - breaking cold today. A? wave of frosty air followed the season’s first big snow storm into the nation’s interior, driving the mercury below freezing as far south as Texas and Georgia. But the U. S. Weather Bureau predicted marked rising temperatures from Oklahoma to Montana, where the storm was born, and it appeared the Midwest was due for a respite from its snowy preview of winter. Bowbells, N. D., ranked as the nation's icebox with a 14-below-zero reading, but Nov. 6 records were set in lowa, St. Louis, Kansas City. Oklahoma City and Chicago. Louisville, Ky„ braced for an expected record cold snap today. The near-blizzard that laid up to two feet of snow from the Rockies to the Great Lakes was reported diminished to a few snow flurries in Michigan's Upper Peninsula today. An isolated two-inch snowfall struck northwestern Minnesota late Friday night. Officials counted at least 17 persons dead from the storm — most of them in car accidents —although two elderly Des Moines, lowa, men died of exposure. The weather claimed six victims in lowa, five in Wisconsin, two in Montana and one each in Minnesota, Illinois t Colorado and Kentucky. The crackling cold froze a stiff crust on the snows and turned . highways into ice-slicked death traps. lowa officials said 75 to 100 per cent of northern lowa highI ways still were treacherous, i Chicago’s ftigh of 29 and Oklahoma City’s high of 39 were those . cities’ lowest high temperatures for any Nov. 6 in history. As the cold pushed into the South and North, weather officials predicted frost from eastern Texas into northern Georgia and a hard freeze in Tennessee and Kentucky. The weatherman said Louisville would go from one record to another — from an all-time Nov. 5 high of 79 to a record low of 22 today. The U. S. weather bureau predicted rising temperatures from western Oklahoma to the Dakotas and into Montana. NOON EDITION

Teen-Ager Holds Up Bank, Returns Loot

KRANZBURG, S. D (UPD - A teen-age robber who returned his loot within minutes of a bank holdup said today he just couldn’t understand why he did it. A friend said the whole affair probably started with a dare. The masked boy and an accomplice pulled a gun. Friday on A.B Turbak, vice president of Kranzburg’s only bank, and walked out with 31,500. But he was back within four minutes after two other friends in the getaway car refused to be accessories. The four boys, aged 13 to 16, were not identified, but a Watertown, S. D, neighbor said they were “nice youngsters” who "sure as hell didn’t need the money. “They told me it started as a joke,” the neighbor said. “One of them apparently dared another to do it and it snowballed.” State’s attorney Dean Summer

Explorer Scouts To Fire First Rockets South district explorer scouts will launch their first group of rockets this afternoon, on their newly constructed launching site at Redkey, with the United Press International, Associated Press, Life Magazine, PM, radio and TV reporters on hand to witness the historic event. Dr. C. William Freeby, of Decatur, health and safety chairman for the south district, has drawn up the health and safety rules for the rocket firing; his committee will be present to supervise the firing, the first approved rocket flight in Indiana, according to the aeronautics commission of Indiana. Redkey Lions Project The project is supported by the Redkey Lions club, and many civ-ic-minded electrical experts in the area. The launching site itself is made up of three firing ranges. The firin gwill be controlled from an 8 foot by 11 foot by 8 foot block house, constructed of 10-inch reinforced concrete walls. To enable the young scientists ' to view the rocket launching, the blockhouse has been constructed . with four windows; three using two-inch, bullet-resistant, laminat- ' ed plate glass, and the fourth is ' 1% jnch plexiglass stock. Test Rockets , Before the actual firing takes place, all rockets and missiles are static-tested and then flight-tested j with small fractional capacity fuel , loads. The fuels used are primar-1 ily micrograin and zinc sulphur mixtures; however, plans have , been made for experimentation with other fuels. . In connection with the building ’ there are a public address system, warning horns, flashing red ' light visible for one mile, four station telephone system, radar installation and antenna tower, portable power supply unit, complete 1 remote control facilities and indicator light panels and special override safety switches in the firing circuit. All pilots have been warned that 1 rocket firing will take place between 12 noon and *>.m. Six rockets have been constructed. The public is invited to inspect ■ the site from noon today until 2 1 p.m. At that time a public dedi- ’ cation ceremony, opening the new site, will take place. Van Horn to Speak ’ Dewitt Ogan, Redkey superin- * tendeift of schools, will be master 1 of ceremonies. Lyle Cotton, south district chairman, will recognize ; the donors and supporters of the 1 project. 1 R. L. Van Horn, council scout 3 executive, will speak at the ceremony. Testing and firing will start immediately. Because of the great e public interest, special facilities s are being arranged for press, radio, magazine and TV representas fives; many stories have already 5 been published on the scout out--5 fit, which was seen on TV Friday i morning for the first time.

said he didn’t know whether he would file charges against the money.” Turbak said he thought the stick-up was a “trick-or-treat” stunt left over from halloween when the boys first walked in. Turbak’s son, Jerome, seeing it was no prank, handed a cash drawer to the boys who took sl,500 and left the bank. The two boys returned four minutes later with the money, saying the other two youths in the car had refused to be involved. The boy who held the gun told Turbak he was “sorry it ever happened.” < “He didn’t want me to mention his name and said he just couldn’t understand why he did it,” the banker said.

United Fund Is • % Nearing Quota

The Decatur Community Fund has raised $19,433.11 in 16 days, proving that Decatur can raise its, entire budget for the eight member charities in a whirlwind cam- ’ paign, and still meet each agency's budget, James Basham, campaign drive chairman, announced this morning. Basham met with the drive’s 11 co-chairmen Friday night, and collected a large sum from them, including that of several of the smaller industries, which brings the fund to 95% of its goal. Final Cleanup On A final week-long drive will take place this coming week to clean up the remaining $995.89, Basham reported. If just 966 Decatur people who have not yet given, will just put $1 in an envelop and send it in, the goal will be reached, he explained. None of the chairmen has final reports, but each has pretty well covered his area, Basham pointed Thomas Garner New Kocher Co. Manager L' B IB vLyK. -y •<7 ■ .

Many have large numbers of individuals to contact, others have just one or -two industries, that give heavily, so the figures for the co-chairmen only indicate the kind of silicitation he was assigned, not his diligence in working.
