Pittsburgh—(U.P.) The nation's steel mills were virtually idle today despite President Trump's seizure order.
Steel Mills Remain Idle Despite Truman Order
The industry was caught with a big "hangover" from the last-minute cancellation of the scheduled strike of 650,000 CIO United Steel Workers.
Of the big producers, only Crucible Steel corporation expected to start melting steel again before the day is over.
At Gary, Ind., Joseph German, USW district director, charged union members were "locked out" by the companies. He threatened to call out maintenance men from the plants "if the companies don't make up their minds what they're going to do with the rest of the men."
The men were ready to work, but there were very few jobs for them.
The hugh task of getting the mills back into operation was under way at some places. Others remained closed awaiting "orders." One company—Republic Steel—said it would not open pending a court test of the President's seizure order.
U. S. Steel corporation announced it was recalling some maintenance mills at its Pittsburgh district mills and an 'returnly order to operations.'
Republic said it would not be "feasible" to start resumption until a hearing is held in Washington federal court on the company's petition for an injunction against enforcement of the seizure order.
Industry sources blamed the delay in re-opening on the fact that
Public Welfare Interviews Offered
Representatives from the state department of social welfare will be on the campus today to interview students interested in working in the field of public welfare.
Programs represented will be those of the division for the blind, child welfare services and public assistance.
A meeting for all interested students will be held at 3 p.m. Wednesday in 1 annex E, Strong. A table will be reserved in the Union cafeteria from 12:30 to 1 p.m. for students wishing to meet the group during the lunch hour.
Individual appointments can be made with the representatives from 10 to 11:15 a.m. and 1:30 to 3 p.m. in the offices of the department of social work, 6 annex E. Strong. Students wishing appointments should call at the office of the department.
the mills had been completely shut down in anticipation of the strike. Blast furnaces and coke ovens—the prime steps in the making of steel—were banked. A company official said it may take two weeks to restore full production.
An "On to Helsinki" committee of three University alumni was named yesterday by Gov. Edward F. Arn to receive contributions to send additional members of the Jayhawk basketball family to the Olympic games in Finland this summer.
The committee was appointed in response to an appeal from Coach F. C. Allen "to centralize and consolidate the collection of contributions being offered by citizens of Kansas."
The governor estimated that at least $12,000 will be needed to send coaches to the games of the players, Assistant Coach Dick Harp and Trainer Dean Nesmith.
Members of the fund-gathering committee are Henry Bubb, Topeka, chairman; Frank McDonald, Lawrence, and Barrett Wilson, Holton. These men and Dr. Allen will make the decision about who will go to Finland through the fund raised, depending on its total.
Arn Appoints Helsinki Group
Seven of the 1952 national collegiate champions were placed on the Olympic team after the Jayhawkers final game in the Olympic playoffs.
Any contributions may be mailed to the Governor's "On to Helsinki" committee at the governor's office, State Capitol, Topeka. Any checks may be made payable to that committee.
Stene To Attend Meeting
E. O. Stene, professor of political science, will attend the Southwestern Social Science meeting in Dallas, hursay through noon. One will lead a discussion on the methods of teaching public administration.
Internal Threat Greater To India Than Outside Power, Talbot Declares
Internal social upheaval is a greater threat to India than any outside power, Phillips Talbot, expert on Indian affairs, told students Tuesday at a meeting sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, and Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority.
Mr. Talbout, who has traveled in India, Pakistan and Southeast Asia as a correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, said that internal stability is more important than a direct threat from an external power because India's geographical isolation makes conquest less probable
campaigning and voting.
Each candidate did his campaigning by using a symbol—a picture of two bullets, an animal or some similar object. Voters were given ballots about the size of three postage stamps on boxes, which stained behind a screen in the plaque places, were stamped with the different symbols. The voters merely dropped his ballot in the box carrying his candidate's symbol.
He explained that there are only two routes into India. One is over the high Himalayan mountains, and the other route is by water.
One hundred and seventy-six million names were listed as eligible voters. Of that number, more than 100 million went to the polls which figure a percentage higher than in the United States, Mr. Talbot said.
Citing examples of fluctuations in extremes of policy in India, Mr. Talbot said the political system worked well in the last election. Because of the great amount of illiteracy, he said, the political leaders of India devised a unique system of
Moderate Voting Reported In 'Rainy' ASC Election
About 500 ballots were cast at 10 polling places. This compares with 750 votes cast in last year's ASC election by the same morning hour. The 1951 election saw a record 3,100 votes.
Voting in the All Student Council election was only moderate as of 11 a.m. today in the face of a drizzling rain. Poll workers and campus political leaders expected heavier balloting with the clearing skies scheduled for the afternoon.
The east wing of Strong basement showed the busiest balloting with 108 votes. The west wing counted 94. No other polling place approached the century figure although a steady stream of student voters crowded Fraser between classes.
Chief interest centers around the tight ASC presidential race between Bill Nulton of FACTS, college junior, and Bill Wilson, engineering junior, who leads a slate of unaffiliated candidates nominated in the Pachacamac-NOW primary.
Following a bitter inter-party feud, a Council ruling barred the Pach-NOW party but its representatives were allowed to appear on the ballot. Their names are followed by an asterisk to indicate their position.
FACTS made a last minute effort to obtain votes when an auto equipped with a loudspeaker patrolled the campus.
The Union lobby and basement, generally a stronghold of FACTS, reported a combined total of only 55 votes an hour before noon. However, these two locations usually receive their heaviest voting during the lunch hour, said Don Hull, college senior, elections committee chairman.
Phone Service Faces Tie-up In 43 States
New York—(U.P.)—Mass meetings of non-striking telephone workers in some 400 exchanges throughout the nation were ordered today, threatening to tie up long distance and non-dial service in 43 states and the District of Columbia.
The meetings were called for 1 p.m. by leaders of the Communications Workers of America (CIO) to discuss the three-day-old strike of 8,000 CWA members against Western Electric and Bell system companies in New Jersey, Michigan, Ohio and northern California.
Roving bands of Western Electric pickets yesterday intensified their nation-wide "hit and run" picking at company offices and buildings. The 300,000 union members employed by the Bell system were ordered to observe the picket lines wherever they were set up.
The picketing was to be "intensified out on specific plans, were revealed."
KU Fails To Record Tremor
Telephone company officials said long distance calls and press, television, and radio wires would be handled by supervisory employees.
Denver—U.(P)P—The Regis college seismograph recorded the earthquake that hit a five-state area of the Midwest and Southwest today as of seven intensity—enough to do serious damage.
The Rev. Joseph Downey, the Regis seismologist, said the quake was recorded beginning at 10:31 a.m. (CST) and lasted for a half hour, including echoes from the interior of the earth. He placed its epicenter at 500 miles southeast of Denver, more east than south.
The University of Kansas seismograph was not in operation this morning at the time of the earth's motion, the time of recording paper for the machine.
William Lemesany, first year law, was sitting in class leaning back in his chair which was balanced on on two legs. When the slight shake was over, Lemesany and the chair were on the floor, wondering just what had happened.
Election Results At Kansan Office
But the quake was recorded here unofficially at least.
Students interested in election results may call the Daily Kansan any time after 8 p.m. today (Wednesday) for a report on the progress of the election. The Daily Kansan telephone number is KU-
Ballots from the election will be counted in 210 Strong hall. Candidates may help with the counting if they wish.

Taft Hands Eisenhower Severe Setback In Illinois GOP Presidential Primary
Chicago—(U.P.)—Sen. Robert A. Taft, achieving his most impressive victory in the Illinois Republican presidential primary, today handed Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower his most severe setback.
The Ohio senator held a lead of almost seven to one over Harold E. Stassen on the GOP ballot with more than two-thirds of the precincts counted. General Eisenhower, a write-in candidate, trailed Mr Stassen.
Adalai Stevenson of Illinois lagging far behind.
Senator Taft captured 48 of the 50 delegates up for election, and seemed assured of getting 10 more who are to be chosen at large by the state Republican convention.
The Illinois victory boosted to 179 the total number of delegates garnered by Mr. Taft so far, and virtually assured that he will have more than 200 by the end of the month. A bare majority of 603 is enough to nominate a GOP presidential candidate.
General Eisenhower's total on the basis of primaries and state conventions held thus far is 71.
Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, who had no opposition on the Democratic presidential ballot, won easily, with a write-in effort for Gov.
Returns from 7,830 of the state's 9,611 precincts gave Senator Taft 711,173 votes to Mr. Stassen's 121,060. General Eisenhower had 108,302 write-in votes from 7,682 precincts. Senator Kefauver had 393,387 votes from 7,184 precincts compared with Governor Stevenson's 52,675 from 6,310 precincts.
