PITTSBURGH—Th«   linewg   of   American   Industry,    steel   and Oicoal, were hamstrung last night by strikes over pension  issues. 0 There were no prospects of an early settlement in the eoonomy-
shaklng tleups  In  the two vast and  basic industries.    The number of  workers  idle  soared  toward  the million  marks.
dO President Philip Murray said his United Steelworkers would stay out until the union's demands for company-paid pensions and social   insurance  are  met.    John  la.  Lewis,  whose  380,000 soft  coal
miners east of the Mississippi have been idle two weeks, was Just as adamant.
President Truman does not plan to intervene in the steel strike which began Friday midnight. Pres¬ idential Secretary Charles G. Ross I said   as   far  aa  the  White  House

But unlike steel, there waa one bright spot in the coal picture. Lewis ordered 100,000 minera in the Pennsylvania anthracite fields and in the soft €K>al fields west of the Mississippi back to work Monday to protect themselves from loss of their markets. Approximately 380,- 000 miners remained Idle, however.
In the steel dispute, the Industry
refused to be saddled with the non- contributory formula recommended by President Truman's fact-find¬ ing board. Management appeared ready to take a long shutdown rather than abandon its "princi¬ ple" that employes must also con¬ tribute to welfare programs. Mediators Pessimistic
Go -s.r.sm ent medlatorif, who struggled vainly to break the dead¬ lock, were frankly pessimistic. They returned to Washington to let the bitter dispute simmer for at least a week before renewing peace ef¬ forts.
The Induatry offered to pay 8 cents per hour per man Into a pension fund and 4 cents toward insurance, if workers would chip in additional amounts. The union rejected, standing fast on the fact¬ finders' recommendation that the company alone should pay.
To government mediators rtiut- tled between union and company groups for more than 10 hours Friday as the midnight strike dead¬ line neared. All their suggestions met rebuff from one aide or the other.
Then came Murray's strike order. Pickets, waiting in local meeting halls In 24 states, grabbed placaurds, paraded to the mill gates and started their monotonous march.
The mills lay dark. Iron fumacea had   been tapped   out,   steel   fur¬ naces   emptied   and   rolling   miHs (Continued  on Page A-2)

U.S. Steel Repeats it Will Not Bow to 'Ultimatum' of Strikers
NEW YORK—United .States Steel f>)rp. last night reaffirmed its determination not lo bow to the *^ltimatiun" of the striking llnied Steelworkers of Amerioa (CIO) that It "must" acc«pt the pension plan approved by the presidential steel fact finding bnard.
Irving S. Olds, chairman of th«i bonrd of directors of the nation's largest steel producer, outlined the company's stand In a long letter to stockholders, which pointed out that tfte President of the United States gave aaeuranoe in advanon that the board's report would not be binding.
''We had hoped to be able to work out with the union through collective bargaining any changes in our existing programs for insurance and pensions which are necessary or desirable at this Ume," the letter said.
"Istead we have been met with the union's flat oltlnuttum ihat we must accept the reoommendations of the presidential steel board as the equivaient of the determination of a compulsory arbitration tribunaL United Statea Steel decUnes to bow to that
Olds aaid the strike has ended all of the company's steel op¬ erations.
"Only one issue Is involved in this strike," he s^d. "That issue Is a simple one, namely: Shall United States Steel and the other members of the ateel industry lie forced now to agree that the employer shaU pay the entire cost of insurance, welfare beenfita and pensions for employees. That wmild be the adoption ef a major principle, protmbly for ^1 time and probably setting a pattern Air all Ameriean baaineaa."

Edward Golden, 38, of 106 Boule¬ vard atreet, Wtlkee-Barre town¬ ship, operator of the 1949 sedan in which the men were traveling from the lake, was reported un- injured.
While the accident occurred in Lehman township, at the spur leading to Huntsville Road, police of Harvey's Lake were called to rush the men to the hospital when assistance could not be secured in the immediate vicinity of the crash.
Police CJhief Fred Swanson and Patrolman John Lukavitch of the Ijake force found Bonner lying on the highway when tliey arrived with the ambulance to rush the latter and Toole to the hospital. PUed into Track

The operator of tha truck, Wilmer A. McClellan, 44, of 209 East McNurtre street. Summit Hill, said the passenger car hit the side of the cab. The machine was badly damaged.
Following the return of Harvey's Lake police from the scene of the accident the case was turned over to State Police and Chief Joseph Ide   of   Lehman   township.
U.S. IS ASKED TO PROSECUTE 'SCIENTIST X'
House Group Charges .Professor of Physics Lied in Atom Inquiry
WASHINGTON- -The House Un American Activities Committee haa asked the Justice Department to prosecute perjury charges against Dr. Joseph W. Weinberg, the mys¬ tery man of the "Scientist X' atomic apy caae.
The eonunlttae In a formal letter yesterday asked the department to convene a special grand jury here to Investigate the charges. The legislators promised completa co¬ operation. Physios Professor
Weinberg, University of Minne¬ sota physics professor, was identi¬ fied by the committee yesterday as the "Scientist X" who allegedly fed atomic secrets to a Ommunist agent in March, 1943. The slim, youthful scientist promptly denied the charge.
The committee asked that Wein¬ berg be prosecuted on three per¬ jury counts. The legislators said he lied when, testifying under oath, he denied knowing two Communist functionaries, disclaimed (>>mrhun- ist party membership, and said he never attended Young Communist League meetings, Agento Named
The two functionaries are Steve Nelson, who was Communist or¬ ganizer of Alameda County, Calif., in 1943, and his secretary, Berna¬ dette Doyle. Nelson, now a Red leader in western Pennsylvania, is the Communist agent to whom Weinberg allegedly slipped secret data.
The "Scientist X" case flrst came to public attention in a conunittee report issued Sept. 28, 1948. At the time, Weinberg's name was withheld because of his flat denial of the story to tbe committee.
