McDonald And Aluminum Firm Heads Meeting CHICAGO (UPD—United Steelworkers President David J. McDonald was to confer with executives of five aluminum firms today in hopes of settling an industry - wide contract dispute within a week But the union leader still had his mind on suspended talks with steel management. Monday night he challenged U.S. Steel Corp. ; Board Chairman Roger M. Blough to a nationally televised debate on steel issues. McDonald told a news conference that he would debate the strike iswues with “any official of the steel industry, but I particularly would like to debate them with Blough.” The USW president arrived Mere Sunday to bolster union negotiating teams which have met separately with each of five aluminum producing firms employing about 30,000 union members across the nation.

Other settlements have no effect.” McDonald said he would meet with, top executives of all five firms today.

To Shift Attention To Tainted Milk CHICAGO (UPD—Federal attention may shift from contaminated cranberries and chickens to tainted milk “in the near future,” the government’sfood and drug chief said Monday. Penicillin and DDT have been found in some milk samples, George P. Larrick, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, told the 41st annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation. The AFBF’s resolution commit tee, meanwhile, attacked the Eisenhower administrations wheat program as “completely inadequate,” endorsed the present tobacco program and labor legislation and urged reductions in the nation's foreign aid spending. Larrick said penicillin, which is injected into a diseased cow’s udder, and DDT used to kin. barn flies have' made milk unfit to drink in some jfases. i -He- said an enfercement-' program which began last October could lead to legal action if penicillin or DDT are found in milk shipped across state lines. “As yet there have been no legal actions, possibly because almost our entire field force has been preoccupied with the cranberry problem,” he said. “We expect to devote more attention to milk in the near future.” Larrick spoke to delegates of the nation's largest farm organization, many of,whom still are resentful of government seizure of cranberries and chickens believed to have been treated with allegedly cancer-causing agents. The resolutions committee said the wheat problem “has reached such serious proportions that its correction must no longer be postponed ” The committee’s plan generally would eliminate acreage allotments and marketing quotas and
