Named in Litigation

A $200,000 damage suit has been
filed in Oakland County Circuit
Court against a 19-year-old girl

dent last Dec. 5 on M24's ‘Slaugh-
ter Hill,” a-mile north of Oxford.

on 2-year probation after being
found guilty of negligence in the
crash which saw a car driven by
her collide headon with another,

torney Arthur P. Bogue, is
brought by Douglas W. Mangum,
brother of Harold Mangum, 21,

Expect Capacity
Steel Output
by First of Week Industry Predicts Jump
to $7.50 Ton to Offset
Given Wage Increase
PITTSBURGH (INS)-—
The nation’s steel. mills will
be producing at full capac-
ity by the end of the holi-
day weekend with a 15-)
cent hourly wage increase
throughout the industry
being passed on to consum-
ers by a hike in steel prices.
The announcement of the
pay boost at noon yester-
day was followed six hours
later by the release of the
new price scale by the
United States Steel Corp.,
traditionally the industry
leader.
The country’s largest producer
Said the average increase, effec-
tive July 6, would be $7.50 per
ton.
Agreement between “big steel’
and the United Steel workers, end-
ed a 12-hour strike by 600,000
members of the CIO union. The
five other major steel companies
Bethlehem, Republic, Jones and
Laughlin, Inland and Youngstown
Sheet and Tube—signed with the
steelworkers last night.
- Continuation _of _ the strike
would have halted production of
90 per cent of the nation’s steel
and gradually led to a shutdown
of other indusries producing
everything from bobbypins to jo-
comotives.
Although some of big steel's
workers were back on the job be-
fore the contract was signed for-
mally, 36 to 48 hours was estimat-
ed as the time necessary to get
the mills back into full produc-
tion. Blast furnaces were banked
Thursday in preparation for the
walkout which proved to be the
shortest in the industry’s history,
HIKES STEEL COST
The 5.8 per cent increase pushed
the average cost of steel from
$125 to $132.50 a ton,
U. S. Steel President Clifford F.
Hood said the increase was due
to both the pay boosts and the
Tising cost of purchased goods and
services, ‘‘of state and focal taxes
and of new construction.” The
amount of the price boost was
about $1.50 higher than forecast
before the settlement,
For consumers it will mean
increase of, for example, $15 in
the price of an automobile cost-
ing between $2,500 to $3,006.
For the 600,000 who struck, {t
meant the average hourly wage
went up to $2.38 an hour. A similar
pattern is expected to be followed
in negotiations on behalf of. an-
other 600,000 USW members in the
aluminum and steel-fabricating in-
dustries.

Naming Delay Blamed
on Summerfield
DETROIT #\—The Detroit News |
said yesterday that Postmaster |
General Arthur E. Summerfield is |
trying to delay further the naming
of a Republican national commit-

The News said Summerfield held
a ‘‘secret’’ meeting at the Willow

Wayne County Republican leaders
to urge them to hold off the selec-

Kendall of Jackson.
Kendall has been general coun-

to limit his duties as national
committeeman. Some _ party
quarters reportedly have been
arguing that he should have quit
a long time ago. Summerfield

Woman Jockey
Is Sidelined in
‘Toughest Race’
SIENA, Italy @ — Pretty Lulli,
Caliva, the 23-year-old Sicilian girl |
who came all the way to Siena’ town’s famed horse race, will have |
to sit it out.
She had planned to be the first |
woman rider since the 16th Cen-
tury in the organized mayhem run
twice annually around Siena's
town square, But last night the.
‘Tortoise’ team which had signed |
hed held: council and decided to
get another jockey. Their horse |
has been neglected in the betting.
The Palio is considered the
world’s roughest horse race. Its.
jockeys get from $500 to $2,500 for
five minutes of tearing bareback
around the square armed with
| padded clubs, The winning horse
usually comes in rideriess, its
jockey having been knocked,
pushed, kicked or clubbed from
its back. The entries are mostly
rugged farm horses. Each repre-
sents a section of Sieha named
for an animal. ee :
Lulli said she figured any girl
from Sicily is as tough as any
man from Siena. There was a girl |
400 years ago known only as ‘‘Vir-
ginia the Courageous” who posed
as a man to ride in the Palio.
There is no record of how her
horse finished.

eae 3, Unordered
Merchandise
) The increasing number of inquiries and complaints being received by
i ©. the National Better Business Bureau concerning unordered merchand
| prompts this statement as to the responsibilities and liabilities of recipient.
If you receive unordered merchandise you are NOT obliged
—to acknowledge its receipt
—to return it
—to pay for it, unless used
—to give it particular care
—to keep it beyond a reasonable period of time
If you receive unordered merchandise you ARE obliged
: to surrender it to the shipper, or his agent, if called for within
a reasonable period of time—in which
payment for storage charges before relinquishing it.
The most practical way to curb the unordered merchandise nuisance is event you may demand
to make it unprofitable. This can be done effectively by holding such
goods for a few months, at which time your liability ends.

Peaceful Valley
DAVISBURG—Construction on a
Civil Defense ground observer post
here is scheduled this month, with
completion expected by Aug. 1, it
was announced today.
Plans are already drawn up and
bids for lumber for the sky watch
tower are being accepted, accord-
ing to William Cullen of 242 Broad-
‘| way, who recently was appointed
supervisor of the proposed unit.
The tower will be built on a
knoll on Hickey road overlook-
ing Peaceful Valley. Official

place in August.
Cullen has issued a call for vol-
unteers to man the post, and a
meeting is scheduled for 8 p.m.

vie on the work of the Ground

Air Force air detection system,"
Cullen said. “Observers here
would help provide essential infor-

planes before they could reach and
attack America’ s key industrial
centers.”
Volunteers will be given offi
cial identification cards and, fol-
lowing training by a USAF train-
ing team, silver lapel wings.

will be given in conjunction with
the program for those who wish
