DE SEVERSKY WASHINGTON, Feb. 19..—(/T>)— The war cf the atomic age was envisioned Tuesday by Maj. Alex ander P. De Seversky as exploding with an airborne strike across the North Pole from the industrial heart of one nation against the industrial heart of another. Aviation authority and War de partment consultant, Seversky saw n.o end to wars, and therefore he said Americans should be prepar ed technologically, > scientifically and psychologically for the possi bility of future conflict.

The last of the big producers came into “line” late yesterday as Jones and Laughlin Steel and Alle gheny Ludlum corporations signed contracts granting 18 1-2 cents an hour increases in the “pattern” set by U. S. Steel Corp. last Fri day. Many Return Approximately 400,000 of the 750,000 who struck Jan. 21 were returning to work. But hundreds of smaller compa nies, most of which buy semi-fin ished steel for processing, held back. CIO President Philip Mur ray indicated an intensive union strike, predicting that “within the next 10 days the entire fabricating industry will be signed up.” Ask Leeway The fabricators sought clarifi. cation of the administration’s new wage-price policy, under which an average steel price increase of $5 a ton was granted. They claimed they were unable to make peace with the union because they faced both higher material and higher labor costs. Pig iron — basic ingradient of steel — was tapped at National Tube company’s plant in McKees port, Pa., yesterday. Carnegie-Il linois, largest operating subsidiary of U. S. steel tapped its first usable iron today. Drive Starts With iron flowing from the blast furnaces, open hearth furnaces were charged, and the long drive to full production was underway. Carnegie-IUinois estimated it may reach 10 per cent of steel ingot production capacity this week. The company was operating at approx imately 70 per cent of capacity prior to the strike. 1 FIRSTSHIPSAILS FOR BOMB 1 INC i _< LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19.—OJ.Rl— As unperturbed as if she were once t more hauling p’easure cruisers to t South America, the U.S.S.

Strewn along her 400-foot decks ircrA orm crniinriinf*’ ftlth- - ometers, wire drags, electronic listening devices, camplers and special cameras. And lashed above the entire pile were two big launches, both equipped to carry on experiments out of touch with the mother ship for as long as two weeks at a time. Made Survey* The business of finding out what ; goes on at the bottom of the sea is nothing new for the 8,000-ton Bouditch. Throughout the Pacific , campaigns, she steamed up to reefs and atolls to make the sur veys and soundings of anchorages which told fleet commanders whether their big ships could go in. The Bouditch and other sounding ships like her, set out their launches and sounding devices while landing craft still were un loading inside the coral reefs.

Ironically, says their represen ative in the Veterans adminis ration, their wartime progress will ie their peacetime problem. At Elbow A capable woman lawyer, Lt.Col. Mary-Agnes Brown, is at the elbow >f Veterans administrator Omar N. Jradley to plead the case of women Veterans. Three rows of ribbons on her Chaki shirt tells the story of ler WAC service: Executive officer o Col. Oveta Culp Hobby, former VAC Director, and later, 15 nonths in the South Pacific as itaff Director at Gen. Douglas McArthur’s Headquarters. Bradley Adviser Now colonel Brown Is adviser to General Bradley on the special jroblems of his thousands of fern nine charges. Women soldiers, Waves and Ma •ines, she says, are marching home o this quandary: In wartime, they were taught luch masculine trades as Mechanic, ;heet metal worker, chauffeur, ruck drivers, electrician’s helper, :ontrol tower operator, welder, irmamept inspector. Want To Work They learned to command. They law the world—or a large slice of t. They did somthing about world problems—and want to keep on doing somthing. But back home, says Colonel Brown, they are not being re ceived as warmly as their war time male comrades. The WAC officer names these Feminine hand icaps: Handicap* (1) Many male employers—con sciously or unconsciously— give automatic, first choice to a man. (2) Male workers themselves, in many trades, close their ranks to possible women competitors. (3) Women are “moved down stairs’’ by some bosses to make high places for returning men veterans.
