Steel Workers Delay Strikes For Six Days
By UNITED PRESS
The C.I.O., United Steelworkers postponed their threatened steel strike until Oct. 1 in compliance with President Truman's request today, but violence threatened again in the coal mine walkout and settlement prospects faded.
In a third big labor dispute, hopes continued high for heading off a threatened strike against the Ford Motor Co. a week from today.
The extension of the steel truce came only three days before its scheduled expiration Sunday. Many companies already had begun banking furnaces, and wildcat strikes had broken out in the Pittsburgh area
But CIO President Philip Murray, after a morning-long conference with his wage policy committee, sent the union's acceptance of the extension in a wire to President Truman. Major steel companies already had accepted.
He warned that the truce extension was the last the union would accept, and that it is sticking to its demand for settlement of the pension and welfare dispute on the basis of recomendations by President Truman's fact-finding board, with the industry footing the entire bill.
Murray said negotiations would be resumed with the companies immediately in the hope of concluding "a mutually satisfactory agreement" before the new deadline.
In the coal strike, an emergency call sent more than 10 carloads of state police speeding into the mine fields near Hodgeville, W. Va., where a band of striking miners was converging on non-union coal diggers
State police said between 200 and 250 cars carrying about 1,000 pickets had converged on the area, but that no violence had been reported yet
Ford motors insisted it was hopeful of settling its dispute with Walter Reuthers' CLIO. auto workers although the union reportedly insisted on a "welfare" package above the 10-cent proposal offered by the fact-finders in the steel dispute.
Death Asked For Rajk
Bdupest, Hungary, Sept. 22—(U.P)
—The Hungarian state prosecutor demanded the death penalty today for former Hungarian foreign minister Laszlo Rajk and seven others on trial for treason
The prosecutor, Gyula Alapai, demanded a "mercellus" verdict in a 75-minute address to the court which closed the week-old trial.
The eight defendants, seven high Hungarians and one Yugoslav, were accused of treason, espionage and plotting to overthrow the government. All pleaded guilty.
Alapai, who also prosecuted Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty, now serving a life term on charges of treason, said the government proved all parts of the indictment from the testimony of Raik and other witnesses.
The prosecutor said Rajk and his fellow defendants were "common agents of American imperialism." He charged that Rajk intended to impose a Fascist government on Hungary.
During the trial Rajk and the second leading defendant, Lt. Gen. Gyorgy Palffy, confessed that they plotted to assassinate top Communist leaders in Hungary, seizing the government and made a Balkan bloc under Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia.
Rajk said in his confession that he became a police informer against Communists at the age of 23 and served for 17 years as an anti-Communist spy for various masters, including Marshal Tito and the United States.
