...Bill Jenner. He linked his demand for an end to H-bomb tests with his proposals to end the draft: "We don't want our boys to be drafted," he said at Akron. "We don't want to live in the shadow of the mushroom cloud." At Youngstown. before an enthusiastic crowd of more than 10,000, he devoted a full-dress speech to military manpower. The gist: the draft, with its rapid manpower turnover, is wasteful, needlessly expensive and unsuited to an "age of complex new weapons and new military needs." His suggested alternative: a corps...

Youngstown Sheet & Tube's earnings dropped to $3,381,000 in the '56 third quarter from $11,240,677 a year ago, while Crucible Steel's net tumbled from $2,752,293 to $510,226. Nevertheless, Crucible's net for the first nine months stood at $8,597,020, only a little less than last year's, and Youngstown's three-quarters figure totaled $24,904,000 v. $29,247,179 last year.

In the Pittsburgh borough of Homestead, hard by the home of giant U.S. Steel Corp., only a few lonely figures moved along the strangely deserted streets. In Manhattan, businesslike industry and union negotiators stuffed papers into briefcases and headed for home...
Local Reaction. The shutdown choked off the vast weight that the steel industry pours daily into the U.S. economy: 250,000 tons of steel and $10 million in wages. In Birmingham, there was evidence aplenty of what lies ahead for mill towns such as Youngstown and Gary. For nine weeks 25,000 Birmingham steelworkers have refused to cross the picket lines of a strike called by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen; throughout the area, sales have skidded and general unemployment has risen...
