Steel Union Cliifefs
Hold Clieckrein on
Wildcat Walkouts
NEW YORK, UP) — Workers in
two steel plants hit by wildcat
strikes went back on the job yes
terday at the behest of union
leaders.
David J. McDonald, president
of the United Steelworkers, said
13,000 employes of the Jones and
Laughlin Steel Corp., at Aliquip
pa, Pa., and 7,000 at U. S. Steel’s
Morrisville, Pa., plant had re
turned. '
Still out were 9,000 Republic
Steel workers in Cleveland. Mc
Donald said he was “trying to get
a rundown” on the status of 3,700
union members who quit work on
Great Lakes iron ore carriers.
He made the announcement just
before union negotiators met for
further contract discussions with
management representatives.
The walkouts spread in defiance
of the back-to-work orders sent
by telegrams by McDonald and
other top officers of the union.
McDonald said “prompt and vig
orous action” was being taken to
get the men back to work.
The^ildcat strikes broke out
in defiance of a two-week con
tract extension agreement made
after President Eisenhowr inter
vened in the stalemated contract
negotiations last Saturday.

Giggles Gag Italian
Princess in Formal
Wedding Splendor
By EDDIE GILMORE
BRUSSELS, Belgium, —
Prince Albert of Liege, heir pre
sumptive to the Belgian throne,
Thursday married a beautiful
blonde Italian princess who broke
down with giggles midway
through the glittering church
wedding.
The radiant 21-year-old bride,
Dona Paola Ruffo di Calabria, was
asked by Joseph Cardinal Van
Roey, the officiating clergyman.
“Have you come here of your
own free will to engage in mar
riage?”
“Yes.” she replied in French—
and then suddenly halted, gig
gled and couldn’t go on.
She ‘blushed, raised her left
hand to her lips and finally
smothered her laughter. Her sol
emn, 25 - year - old bridegroom,
kneeling on her right, gave his
bride a sympathetic look. This
seemed to steady her.
With only an occasional faint
trembling smile she completed the
longj ceremony performed amid
medieval pageantry and splendor
in the Roman Catholic Church of
Sts. Michael and Gudule.
The bridegroom, younger bro
ther of bachelor King Baudoin,
was grim and nervous through the
long ceremonies that began with
a civil marriage service in the
royal palace.
Cardinal Van Roey, during the
church ceremony, called her a
“lovely princess” and said Italy
“sends you to Belgium as a ray
of its beautiful sun and a reflec
tion of its ardent soul.”
Threatening skies failed to curb
the enthusiasm of the crowds for
the show of medieval splendor —
trumpets blending with booming
cannon and pealing church bells.
Salmon Research
Vessels Return
SEATTLE, — Four Seattle
fishing vessels engaged in Pacific
salmon research in Aleutian Is
lands waters have wound up sev
eral weeks of work in close co
operation with Japanese re
I searchers.
The vessels are the Windward
and the Commander, under char
ter to the University of Washing
ton’s Fisheries Research Insti
tute, and the Tordenskjold and the
Pioneer, chartered by the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Windward, the Commander
and the Tordenskjold have been
engaged in research fishing with
the Japanese vessel Ten-Yo Maru.
The work is authorized by
treaty between the United States
and Japan, and is occasioned by
differing conclusions as to the
origin of salmon taken on the high
seas by the Japanese North Pa
cific salmon fleet.
—■ Most American fishermen be
lieve the Japanese fishery is hurt
ing Alaska salmon stocks although
most American scientists are not
quite so definite in their opinions.
The results will be studied by
the International North Pacific
Fisheries Commission, the U. S.
Japan-Canada body supervising
the fishery.

Rail, Highway
Commission Hires
Ohio Co. for Survey
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Alas
ka International Rail and High
way Commission has named an
Ohio firm to conduct an extensive
resources, economics and transpor
tation study of northwestern North
America.
Senator Magnuson iD-Wash>,
acting commission chairman, an
nounced selection of the Battelle
Memorial Institute, Columbus,
Ohio, for the study after a meet
ing of the commission.
The commission said $120,000
has been provided for the study
and a report on the national re
sources of Alaska and northwest
ern Canada in relation to trans
portation needs.
“The study will determine the
location, extent and availability
of known and undeveloped re
sources which need additional or
improved transport facilities for
their commercial development,”
Magnuson said.
The Battelle firm, chosen from
among 18 organizations which sub
mitted proposals for making the
study, will survey not only re
sources-transportation questions,
but also prospects for processing
raw materials at the source to re
duce the cost of transporting bulk
materials.
“For years many have been
aware of the great resources of
the north country. Now it will be
seen what benefits may be de
rived by getting these products to
world markets,” Magnuson said.
The commission also tentatively
approved July 2-15 as the dates
for a tour that will take a dele
gation reprfesenting the commis
j sion to the West Coast, Alaska
and Canada.
Most persons prefer laws with
“teeth” in them — providing the
teeth bite the other fellow.
