ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (UPI)—Facing a discontented audience of steelworkers angered by the administration's economic policies, U.S. Labor Secretary James D. Hodgson said Tuesday that unemployment may go up before it turns down.
He said it was "traditional for employment pickup to lag when the economy was recovering from a dip."
Hodgson addressed the United Steelworkers of America (USW) convention, at which 3,500 delegates were told for the third consecutive day by other speakers that the administration was to blame for tight money, growing inflation, reduced buying power and resulting unemployment.
However, he said, "while it may go up a trifle higher before it turns down, it will turn down."
Hodgson sought to "cool it" by telling the workers that "cool it" was what President Nixon has done in the areas of inflation, the Vietnam War, and violence on campuses and in the streets.
Labor speakers, including Steelworkers President I. W. Abel, attacked the administration, particularly in the areas of inflation and unemployment. Abel contended that present unemployment actually is 5.6 per cent and that 30 per cent of black teen-agers are out of work.
Although the delegates were silent through most of Hodgson's speech, some shouted, "No! No!!" when he asked, "Has the administration been fair to organized labor?" Some booed when he contended the administration never had "twisted labor's arm in wage negotiations."
Arabs Free Hostages Amid Mideast Tension
By United Press International
The International Red Cross announced Tuesday night that Arab guerrillas have freed the six remaining air hijack hostages and all are now safe in Red Cross hands. The turnover came amid new Middle East tension following the death of Egyptian President Abdel Talam Nasser.
In Washington, the House of Representatives, reflecting its "grave concern" with Russia's growing involvement in the Arab world, approved blank check authority for President Nixon to supply Israel whatever arms it may need short of nuclear weapons.
The House members endorsed a finding that the Soviet role in the Middle East presented a "clear and present danger to world peace" and approved sales to Israel of planes, missile tanks, howitzers, armored carriers or other ground weapons.
A Red Cross statement said news of the freeing of the six hostages—all Americans—was sent to its headquarters in Geneva by the International Red Cross delegation in the Jordanian capital of Amman.
Red Cross officials said all six hostages were safe and being cared for by the delegation in Amman. They said arrangements would be made for them to leave Jordan as soon as possible.
The last six hostages were identified by a TWA spokesman

The guerrillas had demanded the freeing and return of seven Arab commandos jailed in West Germany, Switzerland and Britain in exchange for the airline hostages.
Red Cross sources said the seven prisoners may be flown to Amman within a short time although the Red Cross had no information regarding the three governments' plans.
