The furloughs were the first to be announced as a result of the two-day strike of 650,000 United Steelworkers members in basic steel plants across the country. Even as repercussions of the strike began spreading through the nation's economy, Joseph F.

() - De- scribed as feeling stronger day by day, President Dwight D. Eisen- hower signed the huge $34,656,- 727,000 defense appropriation bill yesterday and okayed but com- plained about a public works measure. The President put in his heavi- east working session since his in- testinal operation June 9-an hour with aides in which he signed 21 bills, vetoed 2, nominated 48 post- masters and approved a procla- mation. The White House Press Secre- tary James C. Hagerty told news- men: "The President this morning got up. at about 7:30, and the doctors tell me that he is coming along fine, and that he told them this morning that he realizes he is feeling stronger and stronger each day." Does he feel up to running for a second term? There still is no clear cut answer -on that, and no indication when there will be one, Hagerty replied. , The big defense bill carried nearly a billion dollars more than President Eisenhower wanted for the Air Force. Congress had in- sisted on upping the ante, regard- less of holddown pleas from the administration. Hagerty said no, President Eis- enhower didn't have any com- ment when he signed the meas- ure. But President Eisenhower sound- ed off in a formal statement about legislation appropriating $863,127,- 000 for the Tennessee Valley Authority, various Interior De- partment agencies and Army civil functions. Wilson Rules Out Bomber Increases WASHINGTON (R) - Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson yes- terday ruled out any new speedup in B52 bomber production, but said an extra 800 million dollars voted by Congress for warplanes will be used "when needed." "I don't intend to recommend that the additional funds be im- pounded," Wilson told the Senate Airpower Investigating subcom- mittee. "They will be treated like any other funds that we get and will be spent when-needed." Wilson's statement ended specu- lation that President Dwight D. Eisenhower might withhold the ad- ditional money from the Air Force President Eisenhower yesterday signed the bill carrying the extra funds for the Air Force. Press Sec- retary James C. Hagerty said he made no comment on it. Wilson under sharp criticism from some senators for using the word "phony" in talking recently with newsmen about the Air Force fund increase, was calm and re- strained in his second appearance, before the subcommittee. Wilson refused to budge under questioning from his statement earlier that the administration is. giving the nation a "dynamic mil- itary program." Armed with President Eisen- hower's order, given Wilson last week, to "lay it on the line," Wil- son stated categorically : 1. "We are not falling behind the Russians; they are catching up from a low beginning." 2. The American B52 heavy jet bomber is "greatly superior" to its Russian counterpart in speed, combat radius and combat ceil- ing. Paper To Speak Unlucky SCHENECTADY, N. Y.

Red Poland Puts Curtain On Frontier BERLIN (')-Red Poland yes- terday slammed the Iron Curtain on the East German frontier to block rebel workers seeking to flee the terror of a Communist purge in Poznan. Western travelers arriving from Poznan reported young Polish trying desperately to get through the Red security ring around the city in, a westward break for free- dom. In Vienna a compilation of eye- witnesses estimates received by Western diplomatic sources put the dead from last week's three- day revolt at "close to 1000.,'This was far greater than the 200 to 600 estimate of Western business- men arriving here and the figure announced by the Polish govern- ment of 48 killed and 270 wounded. Hunt Refugees The Warsaw government order- ed thousands of steel-helmeted troops and police to hunt refugees from Poznan in automobiles and trains rolling westward. Reinforced tank-led army units patrolled the Oder River along Germany athwart the road to free West Berlin. Poznan lies 155 miles east of isolated Berlin. One responsible Westernntraveler said Communist police in Poznan have jailed thousands of workers who took part in the "bread and freedom" insurrection. He added: "The purge seems to be of gigantic size." Travelers Tell News The principal source of news from Poznan continued to be trav- elers arriving in Berlin. They re- fused to be identified by name be- cause of Eastern connections. One such arrival described Poz- nan yesterday as a "frightened and terrorized city." He said police "just get anybody looking suspi- cious and are searching every- where for the revolt leaders." chances o Less, Dull WASHINGTON 'RP - Secretary of State John Foster Dulles says the chances of Russia starting a war are less than they were a year ago, although its economic capability to make war is greater' Sec. Dulles signified the admin- istration's intention to continue United States Aid to Communist Yugoslavia despite Premier Tito's closer-ties visit to Russia. Sec. Dulles also reported there is "tangible evidence" of forces working inside the Soviet Union which may in time diminish the threat of communism to the free world. The secretary of state testified in closed session May 24 and June 13 before a House appropriations subcommittee considering the re- quest of the administration for $4,900,000,000 for foreign aid.

Smathers Asks To Insure Future' WASHINGTON (P)--A demand for an investigation of the Civil Aeronautics Administration came yesterday from Sen. George A. Smathers (D-Fla) as a sequel to the crash of two airliners in Grand Canyon, Ariz., with the loss of 128 lives. "If we are to insure the future of commercial aviation, we must closely examine our safety stand- ards and takeoff, landing and flight procedures," Sen. Smathers said in a letter to Chairman W. G. Magnuson (D-Wash) of the1 Senate Commerce Committee. "I therefore urgently request that you direct the committee to conduct an immediate investiga- tion of the Civil Aeronautics Ad- ministration as to whether or not their present operations are keep- ing up with the increase in the volume of air travel, plane speeds, limitations of air space and the de- mands made upon it by commer- cial-and military needs." To Hold Public Hearing Meanwhile, the Civil Aeronaut- ics Board said it will hold a public hearing "as soon as possible," probably in Los Angeles, the city from which the two planes took off on their fatal flight Saturday. In other Washington develop- ments: 1. Milton W. Arnold, vice presi- dent of the Air Transport Assoc- iation said it is his "guess" that. no air traffic control system could have prevented the crash. Arnold, testifying before a House Government Operations subcom- mittee which has been studying the government's role in civil aviation, said no absolutely fool- proof system could be developed to prevent aerial collisions, 2. Max Karant, vice president of the Aircraft'Owners and Pilots Association, an organization of private plane owners and pilots,t said "A considerable area of mys- tery will probably surround this, mystery forever." He suggested the Civil Aeronut- ics Board require all transport air- craft be equipped with automatic flight recorders.

'Anastasia' To Begin Four-Day Run Today Members of the cast for Guy Bolton's suspense drama, "Anastasia," first play in the Department of Speech summer playbill, have been announced by Prof. Jack E. Bender, director. "Anastasia" begins a four-day run at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Adopted by Guy Bolton from the play by Marcelle Mauretto, "Anastasia" is a drama based on historical speculation. In it, three unscrupulous Russian refugees in Berlin set out to persuade their countrymen living in exile that they have found the Princess Anastasia, a now-legend- D ffer Over British Consent To Quit Bases LONDON (A') - Two British Commonwealth prime ministers- old Oxford classmates - differed publicly yesterday over whether Britain yet had consented to give up her prized Indian Ocean bases on Ceylon. Solomon Bandaranaike of Cey- lon told reporters the British gov- ernment had agreed in principle to quit its naval base at Trincomalee and its air base at Katunayake. He expressed hope that certain fa- cilities would be "mutually agre- ed"-under which Britain presum- ably would go on using the bases. Within hours Anthony Eden of Britain ordered his Defense Min- istry to issue this denial: "A pre- liminary exchange of views has taken place but no agreement has yet been reached".{ Double Explosion Shatters A-Lab NEW YORK (')-A double ex- plosion shattered a secret atomic laboratory yesterday.

( M Turbulent winds swished through the Grand Canyon yesterday and interrupted recovery operations at the desolate, grisly scene where 128 persons died in commercial aviation's greatest disaster. Before the operation was halted, the remains of several of the vic- tims were brought out in five rub- ber sacks from the eastern end of the canyon, where a TWA Super Constellation and a United Air Lines DC7 hurtled into jagged buttes Saturday, presumably after colliding in flight. There were indications that the recovery operation would be re- stricted again today. The Weath- er Bureau said strong winds will develop in northern Arizona by late morning, and added that fly- ing conditions in the canyon probably will be "extremely tur- bulent". It was uncertain how many bodies could be recovered at any time. The first recovery crews de- scribed the site as "a mess' and said "there isn't much left". Second Lt. Philip S. Prince, USAF, who flew within 25 feet of the disintegrated DC7 said, "I don't think there were any bodies where we were. If there were, we couldn't see them". The job of removing bodies, even from the more accessible peak in- to which the TWA plane crashed, is complicated by the rugged ter- rain. Wreckage Invisible National Park Seryice officials flew over the DC7 wreckage again yesterday and reported that ap- parently not all of it Is on the peak. Some may have fallen into the river. The TWA wreckage is spread over another peak about 1,000 feet above the river. Investigators for the Civil Aero- nautics Board, both airlines and the Airline Pilots Assn. sought evi- dence which might show the cause of the tragedy. Virtually all observers at the crash scene agreed the planes must have collided at about 21,000 feet whlie both were flying from Los Angeles to the East. The Con- stellation was bound for Kansas City; the DC7 for New York. The 'giant, ill-ftd airliners took off from Los Angeles Airport three minutes apart Saturday morning, flying similar routes and heading for an identical check- point over the Painted Desert of northern Arizona, about 20 miles east of Grand Canyon Village. Scheduled At Different Altitude They originally were scheduled to reach the checkpoint at the same time but at different alti- tudes. The CAA reported that, while above the Mojave Desert in Cali- fornia, the TWA pilot asked to change his altitude from 19,000 to 21,000 feet. Before the CAA could advise him United was flying at 21,000, the TWA pilot reported he would fly visually 1,00 feet above the cloud level. This set up a tragic coincidence, Thunderclouds over the Grand Canyon were at 20,000 feet. There- fore, if both pilots followed their flight plans, they would both have been at 21,000.
