His years as secretary of the Army coincided with an initial commitment of troops in Southeast Asia that over the next decade would swell to more than 500,000 and engulf the United States in one of the most divisive conflicts in its history. In a commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy in June 1964, Mr.

Ailes disclosed that the Army had 10,000 men deployed in South Vietnam to help defeat a communist insurgency, but his announcement drew little notice from the media. Mr. Ailes was born in Romney, WVa. He graduated from Princeton University and received a law de By Bart Barnes The Washington Post Stephen Ailes, a retired Washington lawyer who served as undersecretary and then secretary of the Army during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, died of congestive heart failure June 30 at his home in Bethesda, Md. He was 89.

Mr. Ailes also was chief executive of the Association of American Railroads and a member of the Intelligence Oversight Board, which was created by President Gerald Ford in 1976 to monitor U.S. intelligence operations. As a lawyer with the Washington law firm Steptoe Johnson, Mr. Ailes wrote the charter for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and he served during the 1970s as "We didn't have an easy time with each other because those were difficult times.

I viewed him more as an advocate than a problem-solver. I used to say to him that the courtroom lost a most effective litigator when he decided to spend his life in industrial relations." Retired USX Chairman David M. Roderick described Mr. Johnston as being "up front on the firing lines" when the company was downsizing and shutting mills. "Those were tough times, but things had to be done.

I made the policy and he had to deliver it and that was a tough job," said Roderick. "It took a lot of determination, a lot of patience and a lot of deep thinking. Bruce was a very profound and deep-thinking individual. He was very devoted to his work. He was admired by people in his profession." Current USX Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Thomas J.

Usher said Mr. Johnston "was an eloquent spokesman. He represented U.S. Steel and the industry in a very professional manner." After Mr. Johnston retired from USX in 1989, he was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that he took part in a scheme to pay unearned pensions to two union officers in Alabama in return for influencing contract negotiations.

Felony charges were later dropped. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor after his doctors urged him not to proceed to trial because he had suffered two heart attacks and been hospitalized with congestive heart failure. Roderick, who maintained that Mr. Johnston was innocent, said the case did not damage his career, By Carmen J. Lee Post-Gazette Staff Writer J.

Bruce Johnston, chief negotiator for the domestic steel industry during the steel crisis of the 1980s, died at home yesterday after a long illness. He was 70. A Donora native whose father was 'a U.S. Steel plant superintendent, Mr. Johnston was retired executive vice president of employee relations for USX where his career spanned 35 years.

He was a high-profile chief negotiator for five separate industries: basic steel, bituminous coal, Portland" Cement, iron ore and Great Lakes shipping. He also was the last top steel negotiator in what was known as coordinated bargaining, wherein steel companies bargained as a group with the United Steelworkers. AS the decline of the steel industry took its toll on various compa-mescoordinated bargaining dissolved during the 1980s. negotiating for the stpel industry or USX alone, Mr. Johnston was known as persua-sive and tenacious at the bargaining table during a time when steel companies were retrenching and demanding concessions from steelworkers.

He once told a reporter that the steel, ipdustry was in trouble because "the steelworkers had two scoopls 'of ice cream and they only needed one." "He was a very intelligent and articulate man and vigorous and determined spokesperson for the company's point of view," said Lynn Williams, former president of the United Steelworkers of America. ERNIE K-DOE though it probably wore on him and his family. Later, a federal jury ruled in favor of USX Corp. and the United Steelworkers when Alabama steelworkers accused the company and union of failing to live up to their responsibilities to workers and retirees. Mr.

Johnston, who lived in Peters, started at U.S. Steel working jobs in the mills while earning a degree in government and economics and later a law degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Following two years in the U.S. Navy, he served various corporate departments at the steel corporation, moving up to executive vice president in 1983. After retiring in 1989, he joined the law firm of Cohen Grigsby.

He also served as president of the Peters Township school board and was a member of the board of trustees of Robert Morris College, Children's Hospital, South Side Hospital, WQED television and his church. Mr. Johnston is survived by his wife, Rosemarie; sons J. Bruce Jr. of Mt.

Lebanon, Gordon S. of Atlanta, H. Charles of North Stra-bane, Jesse C. of Peters and A. Kirk of Paola, and 15 grandchildren.

I was married 19 years, and it was 19 years of pure! sorrow. Oooh, she was lowdown." Mr.

K-Doe never found his way back into the Top 40. In the 1980s, he began appearing as an infrequent New Orleans radio personality, and in 1994, he opened his Mother-in-Law Lounge in the city's Treme neighborhood. He per-i formed Sunday nights and, along with his wife, Antoinette K-Doerpf-, ten greeted diners. By Geoff Boucher Los Angeles Times Ernie K-Doe, the singer who became a fixture on the nightclub circuit of his native New Orleans and earned fleeting national attention with the No. 1 hit "Mother-in-Law" in 1961, died Thursday.

He was 65. Mr. K-Doe was admitted to University Hospital in the Louisiana city in grim condition last week from "various internal illnesses" and lapsed into a coma three days before his death, a hospital spokesman said. Ernest Kador Jr. was the ninth of 11 children of a Baptist minister.

His childhood church performances shaped his famous stage fervor. Mr. K-Doe's shining moment came in May 1961, when "Mother-in-Law" replaced Del Shannon's "Runaway" as the No. 1 song on the U.S. pop charts.

Celebrated producer Allen Toussaint wrote and produced the recording and also played the song's signature New Orleans piano. The lyrics are a winking insult at the title relative, "sent from down below" and so awful that "Satan should be her name." His hit arrived amid New Orleans' glory days, the late 1950s and early '60s, when it was a 4.
