Senators Butler, Fulbright Blast Administration's Steel Settlement; Soviet Plans Rocket Propaganda

By The ASSOCIATED Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10--Sens. John Marshall Butler (R-Md.) and J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) accused Eisenhower administration officials Sunday of forcing an inflationary steel settlement.

Without naming vice-President Richard M. Nixon or Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell, Butler said the steel industry agreed to a new contract after it was "warned by certain high-placed men in government it otherwise might face punitive legislation."

Butler, a member of the Senate-House Economic Committee, said in a statement: "Dizzy with visions of labor votes, the administration interfered with due processes of arbitration and forced a settlement without serious consideration of its ultimate cost and its cumulative assault on our nation's market place."

Nixon and Mitchell were credited with laying down the terms finally accepted by the companies and the union.

Russia Seeks Summit Prestige

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10--Premier Nikita Khrushchev evidently plans to use the full resources of Soviet rocket power during the next few months to build up the prestige of the U.S.S.R. before this year's summit negotiations.

In jockeying for position preliminary to these talks Khruchchev is off to a running start by manipulating his rocket lead over the United States to strengthen his diplomatic position. The announced Soviet test period begins next Friday.

A youth organizatzion of the Christian Democratic Party exhibited a documentary film about the horrors of Nazi concentration camps to a capacity audience of 1,200 youths in West Berlin.

In Paris, thousands of persons, many of them young people, braved wintry winds and paraded past the memorial to an unknown Jewish martyr in a demonstration to answer the rise of anti-Semitism in the world.
