80-Day Strike Injunction Ordered As Steel Settlement Hopes Dim; Ousted Official Leaves U.S.S.R.

By The ASSOCIATED Press

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19--President Eisenhower, calling today a "sad day for the nation," ordered government lawyers to ask a federal court to send 500,000 striking steelworkers back to the mills for 80 days.

Eisenhower issued his instructions to Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers about 3 1/2 hours after his special fact-finding panel report to him that "We see no prospects for an early cessation of the strike" which already has lasted a record 97 days.

The White House announced the back-to-work order will be sought in federal district court in Pittsburgh this afternoon. Pittsburgh is headquarters of the steel union. The bid will be made by George C. Doub, asistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department's civil division.

Eisenhower received the three-man fact-finding board's report yesterday morning after the panel acknowledged defeat in its effort to mediate the dispute.

Head Diplomat Leaves Moscow

MOSCOW, Oct. 19--Soviet newspaper sources asserted today that Moscow bus riders caught Russell A. Langelle of the U.S. Embassy handing over money to a Russian for secret intelligence data.

Ordered expelled by the Foreign Ministry, Langelle, the embassy's chief security officer, left by plane last night for home with his wife and three children. The deadline for departure was yesterday.

Washington has denied that Langelle 37, engaged in espionage. The State Department charged he was abducted manhandled, threatened and framed. The State Department also said the Russians tried to get him to spy for the Soviet Union and he refused.

Turkey Leads Voting

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct. 19--Turkey, the West's candidate for a seat on the U.N. Security Council, went into a slight lead over Communist Poland yesterday in a new round of voting. But the Turks were well short of a two-thirds majority, and the East-West deadlock persisted.

Balloting in the General Assembly was suspended for two weeks after a see-saw race developed. Turkey's three-vote edge, its best showing so far, gave the West new bargaining strength in the intense diplomatic maneuvering for the seat on the 11-nation Council.
