Steel Strike Halts Shell . Production Army Closes Largest Plant WASHINGTON - (P) - The Army yesterday announced the complete shutdown of its largest shell-making plant because of a lack of steel. It is the Chevrolet plant at St. Louis, operated by the Chevrolet Division of General. Motors. It produced about half the. Army's output of 105-millimeter artillery projectiles. * * * THE PLANT employed 2,600 workers. At the beginning of the steel strike, it had on hand metal sufficient for 20 working days. This supply was stretched out by giving employes vacations and cur- tailing plant operations. Meanwhile steel industry lead- ers and the striking men in the mills both sat by, apparently leaving it to the White House to get them back around the bargaining table., Some sources think the drama- tic and unprecedented appearance of four industry executives before a session of the United Stel Workers (CIO) Monday may pro- vide a springboard for new nego- tiations. * * ,e IN WASHINGTON, Presidential Assistant John R. Steelman con- tinued telephone conversations with both sides. Speculation arose that Steel- man may be appealing for an- other try, in Washington meet- ings at a peace settlement in the 51-day-old strike. The walk- out has idled more than 1,500,000 workers and hobbled the Na- tion's economy. The next series of talks will have to regain some lost ground before nearing a settlement. Union lead- ers Monday went back to their original demand for a full union shop. That would make union membership compulsory. R LLY BEHI D STEVE So E Poll Shows 'U' Faculty LikesAdlai Results of a Daily Presidential preference poll taken prior to the Republican Convention indicate that University faculty members would like to join the national draft-Stevenson movement. More than half of the 200-odd faculty members who answered questionnaires picked the so-far noncommittal governor of Illinois as the Democratic candidate for President. Stevenson polled five times as many faculty votes as the next highest Democratic aspirant, Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee. * * * ; IN THE poll of Republican can- didate preferences announced pri- or to the GOP Convention, the faculty picked the winner-Eisen- hower-by the same five to one margin over Sen. Taft. I Answers to the Democratic preference survey as well as the GOP poll showed marked devia- tion from candidate popularity according to pre-convention de- legate tabulations. Sen. Kefauver, leading in the AP delegate poll with over 250 pledges, got only 23 of the 200 faculty votes. -The Democratic possibility next highest to Kefauv- er on the delegate list, Sen. Rich- ard Russell, was picked by 11 faculty members. ** * OTHER CHOICES -President Truman, Harriman, Sen. Kerr, Sen. Douglas - received fewer than ten votes each. Possibly anti- cipating his withdrawal from the Democratic race, not one faculty member chose Vice - President Barkley. Among Vice-Presidential pre- ferences, Sen. Kefauver was rat- ed the overwhelming favorite. The Stevenson-Kefauver run- ning slate was picked above oth- er impossible combinations and among those who chose Ke- fauver for President, the -Ke- fauver-Stevenson combination prevailed. The poll revealed that a major- ity of the faculty members ques- tioned are Republicans. About 20 per cent said they were Demo- crats and Independents had the same following. Seven per cent were undecided as to poliitcal af- filiation. , Warrants Asked By Frank Millard LANSING-Warrants charging kidnapping were asked against four ringleaders of the July 6 riot at the State Prison of Southern Michigan by Attorney General Frank G.

Anderson's inters et' Opens at Lydia Tonight National Roundup By The Associated Press HiSs Appeal . . .

Indirectly based on the Sacco and Vanzetti case, "Winterset" dwells on the values of abstract justice in its practical application in the courts. Anderson has used effective poetic dialogue to give powerful speech to the people of a river-bank tenement district. NANCY Bonvouloir, '54, will play the 15-year Miramne who loves and understands Mio. Her father, Esdras, "a kindly old rabbi will be played by Richard Burg- win. Esdras' son, Garth, a disil- lusioned, frightened youth, who is involved in the death of Mio's father will be portrayed by Rob- ert Armstrong, Grad. Trock and Shadow, tough va- grants who are implicated in the murder will be played by Ted Heu- sel and Joel Sebastian, '54. Dan Mullin is cast as the sympathetic, kindly Judge Gaunt.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Peg Nimz, one of the members of the FirsthTime Vot- ets " Club of Michigan has been in Chicago for several days inter- viewing candidates for the Demo- cratic nomination along with sev- eral other club members.This is her account of the interviews. By PEG NIMZ Special To The Daily CHICAGO-We decided to see Senator Kefauver before we talked to any of the others. As we walked into the Conrad Hilton Hotel and up the large staircase, to the Kefauver head- quarters we were greeted by a barrage of posters depicting the merits of the Democratic Party. A large body of people were milling around the stair case and the doorway of what had been just two weeks ago, "Taft Town." DOWN in the lobby, a Harriman demonstration was in full swing- a recording was blaring from the other side of the balcony. It was a very professional quartet singing a catchy tune about "Yes Sir-Bob Kerr!" We walked into Kefauver's headquarters and asked the nearest official where we would find the Senator. He looked startled "Senator Kefauver"? We told him yes, that we repre- sented 600 Michigan voters and wanted to talk to the Barefoot Boy from Tennessee. The official im- prisoned after two trials in which the government depicted him as the greatest American traitor of the century, yesterday lost his bid for a third trial and possible vin- dication. The one-time brilliant State De- partment aide has claimed for more than two years that he was a victim of "forgery by typewriter." In denying another new trial, Federal Judge Henry W. Goddard called this "only conjecture with absolutely no evidence to support Prison Riot BOSTON-Fifty prisoners, led by two life-term killers rioted at Massachusetts State Prison yester- day-and some eight hours later 20 were still holding out last night behind strong barricades with two guard-hostages in their custody. California Quake.. . TEHACHAPI, Calif. - Damage estimates mounted into the mil- lions throughout Southern Califor- nia yesterday as the 3,000 inhab- itants of quake-shattered Tehach- api completed their sorrowful cleanup. .First civilian defense estimates put the damage to the little moun- tain community at nearly 2%/ mil- lion dollars. It was likely to be as, high at Arvin, 18 miles to the, West. But there were no serious cas- ualties at Arvin. Eleven persons; looked up the name in the large black book and told us to go up to 1005-they might be able to held up there. We walked back down the lobby to catch the elevator up to the 10th floor. The Harriman demon- stration was leaving the lobby. It was composed mainly of young- sters in their early teens. * *i * THEY were cheering "H-A-R- R-I-M-A-N spells Harriman." As they walked out, they switched to "I've Been Working on the Rail- road." A small combo consisting of a bass fiddle, a sax, and accor- dian and a snare drum was keep- ing them fairly well close to the tune. It was a noticeable change from the demonstrations of the Eisenhower-Taft rallies of the, Republican Convention. There was no big brass band for Har- riman, and no expensive postflrs. Just a few kids and some signs. As I walked by the lobby, a large woman with a Kefauver but- ton remarked "it just goes to show whatryou can do with 40 million dollars." We waited for the elevator and went up to the 10th floor. We knocked on the door at 1005 and a mammoth gray-haired man an- swered. He invited us into his room, bellowing happily "Okla- homa is a friendly place." We asked him if he was Senator Ke- fauver's secretary. "Senator Ke- fauver?" He looked offended. "Ma'am, I'm the governor of Okla- homa." Deciding to make the best of the whole thing, we asked if Sen- ator Kerr wasn't'around "Senator Middle East Blocks Aid Strong economic nationalism in countries of the Middle East has been the cause of recent refusal of American aid by these nations, according to Prof. Peter G. Franck, of the American University in Washington. Prof. Franck, who is former eco- nomic advisor to the Afghanistan government spoke on "Economic Nationalism, Planning and Pro- gress" yesterday in the Architec- ture Auditorium. His talk was part of the summer session program of Near Eastern Stuies.o Kerr is up by 18-just barge right in on him. He's a friendly guy. Whenever you want an Oklaho- man, just barge right in on him." The governor turned his back to us and bent over. "Oklahoma" was burned into the back of his belt. We went up to 18.

Dealing with the literary angle of the series' general theme, "Mod- Candidates Try To Block Adla Bulletin Special To The Daily CHICAGO-The New York delegation will drop Averill Har- riman and switch to Governor Adlai Stevenson of Illinois on the second ballot, it was report ed last night. The information was received on the convention floor from a New York delegate, CONVENTION HALL, Chicago --(A)-The drive to push the Pres. idential nomination into the hands of Adlai Stevenson rolled on last night while party wheelhorses worked toward a grand show of harmony at the Democratic Na- tional Convention. The campaign for Stevenson picked up steam from new evi- dences of support in New Jersey in the East, Kansas, North Da- kota and, Iowa in the Midwest, New Mexico, Montana, and Wyo- ming in the Far West. RIVAL candidates Estes Kefau- ver and Averell Harriman were in a two hour huddle that had all the political trademarks of a stop- Stevenson combine. They didn't tip off their immediate strategy- merely reported they will "con- tinue the discussion" later on. From the Kefauver camp, and from Sen. Robert S. Kerr' of Oklahoma, another presidential hopeful, a raking crossfire open- ed up on Stevenson and his rec- ord. But here in Convention Halland at convention headquarters down- town, an air of new found serenity and calm suddenly began settling over a party threatened with roar- ing convention floor fights, a southern secession and angry out- bursts over the treatment of Vice President Alben W. Barkley. This was the before and after picture: The party was being cut apart by the manner in which some un- ion labor and Northern big city elements were clashing with Southerners; by the way in which Barkley, humiliated and hurt by a group of union leaders who turned against him, was forced out of the Presidential contest; by efforts to extract a party oath of allegiance from Dixie Delegates. AND THEN: Barkley, the beloved 74-year- old party warhorse, agreed to address the convention tonight -a harmony move of real sig- nificance. Party platform drafters were re- ported to have worked out a pro- posed compromise that might avoid another civil rights fight along lines of the one that split the party four years ago. Lan- guage was toned down because it might have offended southerners. Another compromise was en- gineered by representatives of all the avowed presidential can- didates on the bolt-threatening issue of a loyalty rule. The com- promise would require conven- tion delegates to work to get party nominees on the state bal- lots back home-but not if there were any conflict with state laws or state party rules. Meanwhile the convention cre- dentials committee last night vot- ed to seat anti-administration delegations from Texas and Mis- sissippi. The vote on Texas was 36 to 13 and on Mississippi 33 to 17. Texas delegates have 52 conven- tion votes, Mississippi 18. This makes a total of 74, out of the BOHEMIAN HEADQUARTERS: Pogo Supporters Boom Candidate * * * By VIRGINIA VOSS Special To The Daily CHICAGO-One group of Presi- dential candidate supporters in this Convention-ridden city has steered clear of setting up head- quarters in the bustling Conrad Hilton Hotel. The group calls itself the Pogo for President Club. Declaring sole allegiance to the whimsical comic-strip 'possum, Pogo for President supporters have set up headquarters in a Bo- hemian haven for Chicago-area college students known as the College of Complexes. Advocates of Pogo for President (there are 534 registered) meet here nightly to laud their fictional hero with song, slogan and beer. Additional Pogo slogans were chalked on headquarter walls, and a choice spot was given to the con- test-winning quip "Better a 'pos- sum playing President, than a President playing possum." Not to be outdone by Democra- tie rallies, Pogo supporters are holding on to their campaign but- tons and placards for an even big- ger demonstration Friday. * * * - ACCORDING to Pogo for Presi- dent officials, the Pogo movement does not represent a collegiate disillusionment with political man- euverings.
