Rockefeller Busy At Convention Site CHrciAGO (UPl)—Nelson Rockefeller swirled around Chicago Sunday as if borne on a draft. The ear-old governor barely skirted a 60-second skirmish between “Petticoats for Rockefeller” and young ladies be a ring'The' Nixon imprint. He .entered a,vast Negro church as the choir reached the very crescendo of “Glory, Glory, Haleluhah:” ten went on to a TV studio where he gave Barry Woldwater his familiar simultaneous handshake and bicep squeeze. Sunday night he and the tall, slender, Mrs. Rockefeller — who was at his side daylong — gave a reception for the New York delegates and prepared to throw a dance tonight for all the 2,662 national .delegates and their guests. His 90-extension switchboard at the Sheraton Towers falshed constantly and. should that prove insufficient, the hotel furnished his staff one-way radio receivers to get urgent messages inside the hotel. The delegation had 375 ot the 450 'bedrooms with 183 just for guests, families and friends. Delegates received a tabloid sized newspaper “Convention Call.” It had the headline: “Airport crowd roars hello to Rockefeller” and above was the streamer: “Draft Rocky’s support growing.” Through it all Rockefeller maintained that only a genuine draft could entice him and he had the simple if obvious definition of such a draft — one in which he had more than 666 votes needed to nominate him. -* - * Report Woman Killed In Fall From Boat LIEBER STATE PARK.

Thousands Art Idle In Steel Industry PITTSBURGH (UPI) — The men who mah the steel mills stringing through the valleys of this great steelmaking area , are bucking serious unemployment for the third time in as many years. Typical of the thousands of men idled by the skidding summer fortunes of the steel companies was Al" Coffman, #ho was furloughed last month when the furnace he helped feftd was banked bedhuse ho one wanted to btty the mdtal pouring from its taphole. “The recession got me in 1968,” the burly, shirt-sleeved furnace hand recited as he lounged on a bench in Mellon Square—the heart of Pittsburgh’s glittering refurbished golden triangle district. "Last year I sat out the strike. Now I’m but of work again. The steel industry this year seems to be leading the parade down the ladder.” President Eisenhower recently put his finger on steel as the sore spot in the nation’s employment situation. The density of the problem comes into focus when Al’s plight is multiplied by 140,000, the number of workers the. United Steelworkers estimated were idle as of July 1 in the steel making and fabricating industries. In addition to those without jobs, USW statisticians estimated another 200.000 workers in basic steel and 150,000 more in the fabricating industry were working less than 40 hours a week. The union’s total membership Is about 1,250,000. * ’ * Al looked up at the stainless steel walls of the U. S. Steel building towering 41 stories above the square and gestured: “I wonder when the headquarters boys up there are going to call me back so that I’ll be getting good pay checks like’ I was instead of get-by payments from unemployment compensation and SUB.” Predictions of the experts would give Al little comfort. Iron Age, the metal working magazine regarded as the Bible of the steel industry, last week foresaw steel operations remaining at a low rate into autumn. The U.S. Department of Commerce forecast “sortie recovery” by autumn and predicted that over-all production for the year would surpass strike-battered 1959 and recession-ridden 1958. But Marvin Miller, USW researcher said an appreciable boost in the steel operating rate would be necessary to make a sizeable dent in the ranks of the unemployed. Compounding the unemployment in the mills themselves, industries and businesses which look to steel for economic support have been forced to layoff workers. Thousands of coal miners have been furloughed and mine closings are continuing. U.S. Steel has announced it will shutdown a big West Virginia mine Aug. 1 because the coal is not needed at its mills. Railroad workers also are idle because of the loss of steel hauling. Six Hoosiers Are Drowning Victims United Press International ,! Indiana weekend water accidents killed at least six persons as thousands of Hoosiers flocked to lakes and streams to escape the heat and humidity. -.--tFive adults and a teen-age boy were the victims.

R. 1, Morocco, drowned Sunday while swimming in a pond ne#r his home. Edwin Robinson. Morocco, owner of the pond, told police the land was posted and the youth did not have permission to swim in it.
