LONDON (AP) - Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai was report- ed Friday night to have sent a

subject of Formosa's future and related problems.

Word of it came from diplo- matic officials as special Indian Ambassador Grishna Mcnon con- ferred at length with Prime Minister Eden about the prospects of an international settlement of Formosa's future.

Menon was in Peiping a fort- night ago where for 10 days he was engaged with the bosses of the Communist regime in a quest for a basis of negotiation between Red China and the United States.

The informants did not disclose the contents of Chou's message to Eden beyond saying it seems important.

IDNDON. (AP)-The British railway strike threat- ened Scottlish steel production Friday and tightened its grip elsewhere on the country's industrial machine.

Prime Minister Fklen will take to the air Sunday night to give the nation a. strike report. This will be his second broadcast on the crisis-an unprecedented step for a British prime minister in peacetime.

Trains were running at approx- imately one-fifth of normal. A few factories gave their employees pre- cautionary layoff notices. most of them for next Friday. But more announced shorter work weeks or abolished overtime in hopes of rid- ing out the strike. now in its seventh day, by stretching supplies. Finished goods jammed up in com- pany warehouses.

The ministry of labor said it had no figures on the number of work- ers who had received layoffs no-

STEEL INDUSTEY HIT

The steel industry. backbone of the nation's industrial might. ap- peared hardest hit so far because of its dependence on daily sup- plies of ore and coal. industrial- reporters predicted 300,000 steel workers might be idle by the end of next week.

The differential was narrowed by

January.
