She has two new books, brought out simultaneously by two publishmg houses. One is about Sam Colt inventor of the revolver, and the other deals with the childhood of Jeb Stuart hard-riding general of the Confederacy. Like her earlier books about James Fenimore Cooper, Jim Bowie. Ethan Allen and Jim Bridger, they probably will inspire hundreds of fan letters wTitten in boyish scrawls. Mrs. Winders explained that her literary liking for "bold, brave boys” is due primarily to her husband. Garry. , “My interest in the outdoor life is purely academic." she said. “Garry is a sportsman and a gun authority. He suggested Colt as a subject, as he has most of my other books.” Another man who mafie a contribution to the book on’ Colt was the late Lt Philip B. Glessner. This young Hoosier army oficer survived Korea only to be killed by • gang of Indianapolis hoodlums as he and his fiancee. Miss Barbara Winders, sat in a car Manning their wedding. V a happier time, When her rtother Was having dificulty in 'producing a realistic descripton M how young Sam Colt felt and rcted when he mxed up a batch gunpowder and fired it, Barbara recalled that her fiance had mentioned doing such a stunt when he was a boy.

Comfort In Fore At Furniture Mart ■_ United Press In tern a tin. ,a I CHICAGO <UPl»—Comfort take* a front seat at the International Home Furnishings Market. • It's the first consideration of it sofa <by Seng I that converts into a bed six inches wider and four inches longer than conventional ones, the same manufacturer in-; troduced a sofa bed with one end that raises like a hospital bed to make a headrest. It's useful as a sofa, full-length bed or chaise ' lounge. —L Even sofas intended just for cat-' r.aps are 100 inches long in many ■ manufacturers' lines., while a tete-a-tete sofa (by Dunbar’ has a full six-foot foam rubber mattress as a seat cushion. Another sofa, made for sitting, is fitted with a posture-positioned small-of-the-back cushion that runsj the length ot the sofa. Many chairs at the market have ! all the comfort of a sofa, thanks l to ottomans that fit flush against them. ' A swivel chair and matching ok- , toman <by B.G. Mesberg’ take an- ' other approach to raised-leg comfort. Shaped to the body's contours and foam-cushioned, both swivel for comfort in any position. As usual, most of the comfortable chairs are man-sized, but at least one manufacturer ’Nemschoff Chairs Inc.» has one for i the ladies. It's smaller than a Jman’s chair, with a shallower I seat, and wooden arms that wrap , around the back like a horseshoe. An unusual folding chair (by , is atrr 4t as comfortable. Though it folds to a com- ■ pact six inches, its laminated t walnut seat and back are contours'shaped. and the back is selfI adjusting. 1 "

Questions Role Os Nixon In Steel Strike WASHINGTON <UPI» — Ray J Madden tlMndL who** district inchatea th* .teel-grwdue ing cmt*r at Gary, today quo* ttonod th* rote that VW l'rr*ktenl Richard M Nixon played u» *HiUiag the steel »Ulke “Ntaon primmally had M much to do with settling the strike •» I had." Madden said. "The repmt that (M did la )wl political camouflage to build him up for the Republican preside* 'Ual nomination ' "Os course. the White House I has held an umbrella over Ul* .steel companle* »lnce the negotiation* started " Madden contended that the **L Dement could have been reached much earlier ts the adminlatratioa | h*d IdribWcl tbit make an honest effort at collective ■ bargaining i Management made no effort at 'all to bargain collectively. Madden charged “It wasn't a strike, lit was a lockout" He contended the settlement was reached only because the companies ' found out that the workers would stick by their unions" ; Os 5.000 steelworkers attending j a recent meeting at Gary, only three said they would vote to accept management's latest offer. Madden said. He blamed the labor reform bill enacted by Congress last fall for much of the bitterness which surrounded the steel dispute Madden I said he was preparing amendments to the law to eliminate such a ready-made bone of contention between management and labor. Included among the unnecessary points of dispute, he said, is the provision requiring labor unions to send extensive reports on their membershp and finances to Washington. He slid this requirement imposes a back-breaking expense to small unions. Madden said he also wanted to •eliminate the "no man's land provision, under which certain labor-management disputes can be rejected by the National Labor Relations Board and returned to state regulatory agencies for settlement.
