POLICEMAN SLAIN INDIANAPOLIS, July 23 — (UP)—A policeman was shot fatally in an exchange of shots with an intruder in his home here early today, and police wer-e holding a suspect In tin- slaying. Patrolman John L. Sullivan was shot and wounded by a house-breaker as lie arrived home from work shortly after mid. night He died at 1 hospital soon afterward. Police said they were holding Emmett Johns, 17, a negro, under guard at a hospital where he was being treated for an arm wound. Ho was charged with murder. Johns was caught a few blocks from the shooting scene when he knocked at the door of a home to ask foi aid for his wound. CONDITION SERIOUS BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, July 23 (UP) A government communique said last night that the conditoin of Mrs. Eva Peron, Argentina's first lady, remains serious. It was the first official announcement since Sunday, when her haaJth was reported improv•4.
■ttlenie/ | 0 f (he strike, al1 u>^h differences between the Industry and union were “paper-
1 Thin.”
The magazine listed these affects of "the worst steel strike in history" 1. Stee, production losses will total 17,0(10,000 tons by the end of this week. 2. Unemployment is nearly 2,000,000. including the 600,000 steelworkers. Tiie average wage loss for :i( h steelworker is about $600. ■1 Total loss to the country so far is $4,000,000,000. Steelman vainly prodded in-du-ury lenders and union Presidi l Philip Murray yesterday, failing to wring the slightest coiV'e ion Bor either side. Steelman stood ready to rail on the pnrtir , to get together again, the moment he saw any possibility of productive talks. Th“ deadlock centered on a rtei! and by the industry that the new igremont provide a 15-day period at the start of the contract for workers to “escape'’ from the union. Officials believe the parties are close enough on wages and even the rrucial union 1 shop issue so that a settlement ! would come quickly if the “escape" clause plan could he work-
ed out.
The steel companies have of- | fen d a 16-rent hourly increase, ! 5.4 cents in fringe benefits and a union security clause that would require new workers to sign a i union card but allow them to I lc ave the union within the first I 30 days. While the White House reported President Truman has no immediate plans to step directly into the dispute, officials worked Ir hind the scenes on a possible mow to “■ ize some steel plants for defense production. The limited eizui' would be carried out under the Selective Service Act, which allows the government to take over any mill that "falls or refuses" to produce on direct defense orders.

BOSTON. July 23—(UP) — Forty rioting convicts released two guards they had held as hostages early today and gave up their stronghold in a steaming lift of 147-yeur-old Charlestown
-tute prison.
A prison official said guards Cornelius Horgan, 42, and John Kerivan, 45, looked "cool, calm and collected" as they walked I from the building where the con- | vuLs had barrlcac- d themselves
I yesterday.
Drunk on stolen prison alcohol, •tie prisoners followed the lead ol two hardened killers and set everal fires in tiie ancient prison before seizing the guards and holding up in the second floor of tlir industrial building. During the night, correction ificiais held a second conference with the embattled rioters but Uiey gave out ho statement and it w«s not known whether any promises were made. The prisoners had demanded "no reprisal.'*' and l an airing of their bill of complaints on prison conditions. State and city police shelled the budding with tear gas shortly after the riot began but ceased fire when an angry convict threatened to decapitate one of
the hostages.
"Throw one more bomb up here and we’li cut his head off,” the convict shouted. “Go ahead and throw one more.” The rioters warned Warden John J. O'Brien the hostages would not be released until he published in Boston newspapers u promise of “no reprisal" and a list of their complaints. "Then the public can make up its mind and we'll trade hosf agcs for promises <if no reprisals and other improvements,” a convict said. O’Brien and State Correction Commissioner Maxwell B. Grossman went into the loft, where underwear and license plates are made, to receive the ultimatum from the convicts, who were flashing knives. "How can you expect me to do a thing like that?" O Brien asked. "If I did anything like that I Mould be a jellyfish." Grossman said O'Brien had "full charge” of the prison and he would support him "one thousand percent." O'Brien said that 595 other inmates of the prison did not participate in th« riot and remained in their cells.
