Truman Says He Won't Force Settlement In Steel Dispute
Assistant directors are Joyce Laybourn, college sophomore and Bob Ziesenis.
Washington—U.P.P)President Truman said today he will not attempt to force a wage settlement on the seized steel industry while it is bargaining with the CIO steelworkers.
However, the President hedged at a news conference on a question as to whether the government would put into effect the 26-cent-an-hour wage package recommendation made by the wage stabilization board if bargaining should break down.
Mr. Truman also said that he will not accept a draft for renominations, nor does he intend at present to attend the Democratic convention in July.
Some reporters got the impression from the President that he already has Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's resignation as supreme allied commander in Europe, but that the timing of the announcement is up to Eisenhower.
The annual review of the Air Force ROTC has been cancelled because of muddy grounds, it was announced this morning. Col. Lynn Moore said that classes will convene as usual.
Mr. Truman was asked whether the union shop recommendation was within the Wage stabilization board's authority, and he replied that the board did not step out of its preregatives when it made the recommendation.

Charlie Hoag, business junior, held the biggest majority in defeating Lov Kirkpatrick, college junior, 447-196 for senior class president. Pach candidates gained up to two to one majorities in other senior and sophomore class offices, while junior Pach margins ran as high as three to one.

Strike Delays Phone Service
The Lawrence telephone service was slowed down today when telephone workers walked off the job at the local exchange.
Picket lines formed at 6 a.m. in front of the Southwestern Bell Telephone company building at 734 Vermont street. All telephone workers including operators, repair men, and other workers, failed to report for work this morning.
"Telephone service in Lawrence will be continued as usual, but with a slight delay," Owen Smith, exchange manager, said. About 15 supervisors are operating the telephone switchboards, he said.
This walkout is connected with the nation-wide Western Electric company employees' strike. Pickets at 1,500 telephone exchanges across the country were called out today in an effort to cripple Bell system operations in 43 states and the District of Columbia.
Seven other Kansas cities where pickets were reported today are Hays, Salina, Topeka, Wichita, Kansas City, Olathe, and Bonner Springs.
The new players are Patricia McNabney, Carolyn Oliver and Barbara Orendorf, college juniors, and Bill Payne, college sophomore. They will be initiated Wednesday, April 30.
Leaders of the CIO Communications Workers of America union ordered its 300,000 members not to cross the picket lines of about 16- 000 striking workers in 183 cities.

Four students were accepted as members of the KFKU Radio Players at a meeting of the group Wednesday afternoon.
Wilson 1,396,Nulton 1,103 As Few Students Go To Polls
Bill Wilson led the Pachacamac-NOW party to a narrow 10-9 victory in yesterday's All Student Council election as he rolled up 1,396 votes to 1,103 for FACTS presidential candidate. Bill Nulton.
The total of 2,499 votes was disappointingly small to both parties. Wilson received 80 votes less than last year's losing candidate and total ballots cast dropped 700 below the record mark set in 1951.
Pach placed five of eight candidates from district I and gained a two to one edge in district II. District III was split even and Tom Reynolds, first year law, was the FACTS victor in district IV. Nulton automatically gains a seat on the Council as a delegate-at-large.
The closest race was in district I where Donald Horttor, FACTS, eked out a two vote margin over Donald Woodson. Both students are college juniors.
"It was a clean campaign and I hope that we may all work together toward successful student government for the remainder of this year and next," Wilson said after his victory.
Nulton offered his "sincerest congratulations" to Bill Wilson" and hoped that he would BOW and FACTS together for peace in the world, the interests of all students, of KU."
Pach winners in district I (College and School of Journalism) were Richard Schmidt, Norma Lou Falletta, Nancy Landon and Hubert Dye, college sophomores, and David Hills, college junior.
FACTS victors were Horttor and Kay Conrad, college juniors, and Dennis Henderson, college sophomore.

Earthquake Causes No Damage In Area
The earth tremor at 10:32 am. Wednesday was the first to be felt here in 10 years. It apparently was centered in Oklahoma.
Although it had no more than a three-second activity in the KU area, residents of Oklahoma City reported downtown buildings quivered for at least half a minute. They also reported hearing a loud rumble.
No damage was reported from the Lawrence area. Midwest newspaper offices were swamped with calls seeking the origin of the earth tremor. The jolting motion alarmed residents, caused buildings to sway and rattled dishes and other objects
The quake was felt in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma. The University's seismograph, situated in the Lindley hall basement, was not in operation, so the quake passed unrecorded here.
According to Henry Beck, instructor of geology, the seismograph has not been in operation for over a week because it has run out of paper.
He said the recording paper is specially enlarged photographic paper he had to order directly from the manufacturer at Rochester, N.Y. "We have had the order in some time but have not received the paper shipment," he explained.
Prof. Ross Heinrich of the St. Louis university egphysics department said his instruments showed a displacement of four inches in the strata along an underground line about 450 miles west of St. Louis.
Hectic Night Of Counting Ends Three Weeks' Campaign
Local politics, campus style, reached its intensity last night as members of both FACTS and Pachacamac-NOW political parties counted ballots from the 1952 general elections.
It was the showdown of three preceding weeks cluttered with the tables, chairs, charges and counter-charges, and campaign posters by both parties.
At stake were positions of class officers and representatives to the All Student Council; but personal interests were even more at stake. Many of the candidates for the positions were present for the vote-counting and felt the proverbial "butterflies" in their stomachs as their opponents' totals either lengthened or melted.
FACTS member counting, there was a Pach-NOW member checking, and vice versa. Professor Drury did a fine job of plugging members of opposing parties into slots where they were needed most.
All in the two rooms in Strong hall used for vote-counting were scenes of great confusion. One room was reserved for ballots on the ASC presidency. The other held the votes for the rest of the offices.
From room to room shifted James W. Drury, assistant professor of political science, who acted as supervisor, co-ordinator, and general referee for vote-counters from the two contending parties.
Everything was done on a bipartisan basis. Where there was a
At one point he issued a call for "one Pachacamac-NOW member." He was reminded by a chorus of the counters that "Pach-NOW" wasn't even on the ballot. He smiled slowly, and then with a knowing look repeated his original call.
Anticipation of both parties mounted as winning candidates of each division were decided. This was the moment parties had looked forward to since the first campaign promises and challenges were uttered some months ago.
Cokes were distributed by the winners, hands were shaken, backs were slapped, but tired members of both parties agreed on this one point: It's lucky that general elections come but once a year.
