Further Pressure Hinted
At the same time, cautious forecasts were heard in administration circles that the government would apply further pressure to the steel industry unless there was a break this week in the deadlocked wage dispute. There were no immediate plans for seizure—a titanic job because of the scope of the industry—but that seemed inevitable if a prolonged shutdown were threatened.

1. U. TO GET BEDS "FOR 1000 VETERANS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (U. PJ). —The War Assets Corp. today shipped enough beds and other sleeping equipment to Indiana University to accommodate 1000 veterans now at the school. : Lt. Gen. Edmund B. Gregory, director of the surplus property disposal organization, hurried the equipment on its way so it could be set up for use at the beginning of
ly when Arthur E. Weimer, assistant to the president of the university, made a personal appeal. Because of the acute need, Gregory ordered that the red tape be cut and the paper work completed after shipment. Many schools have made formal requests for such equipment, a WAC spokesman said. But the need was not as great. If the normal formalities had been followed, the beds, chairs and mattresses would not have been shipped for two or three weeks.
Shipments were made from warehouses in Cincinnati and Chicago.
The beds will be placed in the USO building, recently converted for housing purposes, and in tems porary and pre-fabricated housing units moved to the campus from war projects.

Although Russia is sending no occupation troops, she is participafing in the military rule of Japan.

The question arose after Herbert H. Edwards, Decatur township trus- | tee, told strikers applying for direct relief that unions have their own funds for this purpose. He said township funds are depleted. Mr. Ostrom - asserted that it is his belief Mr. Edwards is the only township trustee in the county refusing aid to strilgers. “Need is the only basis for assigning relief funds,” Mr. Ruston added. “There is nothing in the law about strikes or union membership being a disqualifying factor.” Walter Frisbie, state C. I. O, secretary, announced he was informing Governor Gates of the situation. He said only two strikers were involved in the Decatur issue.
