Judges Hold Back
On Taft-Hartley In
Steel Dispute
PHILADELPHIA, UPt — Three
federal judges granted an indefi
nite stay of a Taft-Hartley injunc
tion aginst the striking steel
workers.
This means a continuation of
the nationwide walkout, now 100
days old, pending a circuit court
of appeals rulihg on the constitu
tionality of the 80-day injunction,
granted Wednesday by a U. S.
district court judge in Pittsburgh.
Union counsel re-marshaled its
arguments, declaring that the
strike has created no national
emergency, that indeed the econ
omy is booming, and that the in
junction violates the basic rights
of labor to strike, rights' that are
part of the collective bargaining
code. ,
Government lawyers said they
desired to proceed promptly be
cause this is a natiinal emergency.
Arthur J. Goldberg, chief coun
sel for the United Steelworkers,
told the judges that should the 80
day injunction be upheld “there
will be tremendous damage, not
only to the union, but also to the
employers.”
In describing what he considers
great damage, Goldberg said: As
for the union, its strike in which
500,000 workers have sacrificed
their wages for a period of more
than three months will be broken
and as for the companies, they
will have undertaken the very ex
pensive task of reopening their
mills and starting their furnaces
only to have them shut down again
if the injunction is reversed.

Ancient Antarctic Lost
Seal Graveyard Reported
By South Pole Explorers
WASHINGTON, OP) — Scientists
have found a desolate place in
Antarctica where seals apparent
ly lost their way and died of star
vation. Some of the carcasses may
be more than 2,000 years old.
These seal “mummies” — pre
served by the Polar climate —
were collected during the 1957
58 field season on land from a
mile to 30 miles from the sea in
the McMurdo Sound area.
They have just been added to
the mammal collections of the
Smithsonian Institution. Dr. Troy
L. Peve of the U. S. Geological
Survey and the University of
Alaska, and Dr. George A. Llano
of the National Academy of Sci
ences Committee on Polar Re
search, described the find this
way:
“Most of the carcasses were
found in valley bottoms, many
along the courses of ephemeral
streams. Most of these streams do
not drain into the sea but into
small, ice-covered lakes in val
leys blocked from the sea.
“We believe that the Antarctic
seals which occasionally wander
| inland find no feed in the fresh
or alkaline lakes and therefore
die. The cold, arid climate pre
serves their carcases an incredible
length of time to attest to the
animals’ last journey.”
Radiocarbon dating of one seal
carcass showed it was between
1,600 and 2,600 years old.

Portland Squadron
Wins Top Honors
At Air Force Meet
TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE,
Fla., <#>— The 460th Fighter In
terceptor Squadron, Portland,
captured the coveted F102 cham
pionship of the Air Force world
wide weapons competition last
night.
The winning mission had all
the excitement of an underdog
football team scoring the winning
touchdown in the final seconds of
a college game, and the victorious
pilots received the accolade of
gridiron heroes.
When the perfect 1,000 point
score for their final mission went
up on the giant floodlighted score
board here, cheers echoed all down
the flight line for Capt. Fred
erick H. England Jr., St. Peters
burg, Fla., and 1st Lt. Thomas E.
Wolters, Denton, Kan.
The squadron had snatched the
victory out of the grasp of the
525th from Bitburg Air Base, Ger
many, representing the U. S. Air
Forces in Europe.
The 525th had sailed into the
final day of the 10-day meet with
a 4,500 point total. However, Lt.
Jack P. Bowman, Sikeston, Md.,
had a disappointing run and
racked up only 200 of the 500
points that the final flight could
have contributed. Even so, the
German squadron’s 4,700 points
seemed a good safe margin ahead
of the 460th’s 3,800 points.
Both England and Wolters
found their targets in the dark,
! rainy night, wyith skillful direc
i tion from the squadron radar con
i troller on the ground, Lt. Robert
B. Hinman, Lebanon, Ore.
All three officers attributed the
win to the outstanding mainten
ance performed by the enlisted
men of the ground crews.
Among the F102s firing Falcon
missiles, the 317th, Elmendorf
AFB, Alaska, also scored 1,000
points in a perfect night mission
to place third with 4,300 points.
THE WEAKER SEXTON . . .
CLINTON, Mo., Iff) — Carl
Sexton, driver educator instruc
tor in the Clinton schools, took
two boys and two girls out for a
lesson in changing tires.
They stopped in a residential
section when it was one of the
girls’ turn to change a tire.
While the girl toiled, there
came an indignant woman’s voice
from a nearby house:
“It seems to me that you men
could at least help that girl in
stead of just standing around.”
Grueiiing Reports Russians Take Lead
In Hydroelectric Power Dam Projects
WASHINGTON, <*> — Senator
Ernest Gruening says Russia is
making great strides in the de
velopment of public power.
Gruening, who recently toured
Russia, said in a report to his
[ office that “the Russians are mov
ing ahead at great speed” in de
veloping the power potential of
remote areas; they are moving a
lot of industries across the Urals
deep into Siberia; they are har
nessing their power; they are
creating great cities where for
merly there was a mere settlement
or nothing at all.”
He said Russia’s Siberia is like
I Alaska with “relatively empty
areas, long underdeveloped.”
“If we want to compete with
them in the field of industry . . .
we have got to compete in this
(power) field. It is not enough to
j compete in the arms race,” he
! said.
The Senator said power pro
jects on the Volga River have an
annual capacity of seven million
kilowatts compared to the 1,000,
000 kilowatts capacity of Grand
Coulee Dam, largest in the United
States.
Gruening has been urging con
struction of a dam at Rampart
on the Yukon River in Alaska
which would produce about 5 mil
lion kilowatts. Congress has ap
propriated $48,750 to investigate
this project.
Gruening and Senator Frank E.
Moss (D-Utah), chairman of a
Senate public works subcommittee
which inspected Russian power
projects, are expected at Anchor
age Saturday. The subcommittee,
and power experts with it, will
tour various proposed hydroelec
tric power sites in Alaska.
They covered some 12,000 miles
in the Soviet Union and visited
10 dams. The biggest was the
Bratsk plant in Siberia, which
will produce 4V£ million kilowatt
hours, more than any two Amer
ican dams combined.
Moss told a news conference at
Paris Wednesday “The Russians
were cooperative and cordial in
giving us information.”
He said data given them on
Chinese hydroelectric projects, if
correct, surpassed even the rate
of progress in Russia. He said he
hoped to be able to go to China
some day to see for himself.
Moss said the Soviets have uni
fied, long-range planning. “In the
States, we wait for the demand,”
he said. “The Russians do the op
posite. They create the power,
then move the industry in, as they
did in the town of Khrushchev in
:he Ukraine.”
Michael W. Strauss, consultant
to the Senate Interior Committee
and former U. S. Commissioner
of Reclamation, said the Russians
are exporting generators to 35’
different countries.
“The leadership in this field
has shifted to the Soviet Union,
and this delegation will tell the
Senate just that,” he said.
