PRAISE FOR pRE:SIDENT,
 CRITICISM
Congress Inclined 10 Agree with Truman on Some
 Issues, Against Others

WASHINGTON, Jan 9. Con- gress seemed inclined today to sup port some extension of price con- trols and to keep taxes at a high level But the remainder of Presi- oent Truman's domestic legisla- tive program provoked as much criticism as praise
 Republicans sparked the criti- cism, with Senator Bridges (R- MID observing to reporters that the Presidents 30,000-word re- counting of Administration aims ought to be labelled "a message on the sorry state of the Union"
 On the other hand Senator Mead CD-N.Y.) commented that the Pres ident's economic proposals are "sound and necessary"
 Not all comment, however, fol- lowed party lines.
 Among 25 requests in his state of the union message yesterday MT. Truman asked for full years extension of price controls. The re- action was mixed on this score, but most legislators who were ask ed about it said they thought some cubs must be retained to prevent runaway imitation.
 Senator Ball (R-Minn9 suggested that a sane" program be adODtel under which price increases of pos sibly per cent would be allowed to make up for some of the wage raises that have been granted.
 Wed better do that rather than sit en the lid so tight that we have a blowup," Ball asserted.

SOVIET AGENCY
 BLASTS OUT IN
 ALL DIRECTIONS
Raps U. ,. Military Com mand in Korea : His
 Korean Government
By Eddie Gilmore

MOSCOW, Jan. 22-The official Soviet News Agency Tass today ac- cused the United States Military Command in Southern Korea of inspiring "reactionary' protests against the Moscow Conference of Foreign Ministers.
 In a dispatch from Heijo, Korea, Tass assailed the 'reactionarv press" of Southern Korea for al legedly carrying on an anti-So- viet propaganda campaign and for attacking the decision of the Unit ed States, Russia and Great Bri- tain to set up a five-year trustee ship in Korea
 The dispatch then said:
 Here the behavior of the Amer ican Command in Southern Korea astonishes one. It has assumed a position of inspiring reactionary demonstrations against the deci- sions of the Moscow conference of Foreign Ministers in which, as is known, the Government of the United States participated.
 The dispatch also attacked what it called the counterfeit govern ment of Kim Roo and Sin Man Ri" declaring that their activity is directed against hampering the decisions of the Moscow Conference of Foreign Ministers on Korea, on starting a civil war inside the country and on inflaming hostility toward the Soviet Union"
 (Kim Roo is President of the Kor- can Provisional Government.)

The W ashington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Undercover op- position to the British loan is much greater on Capitol Hill than Ad- ,ninistration leaders realize. Many including some good Democrats feel that MT. Truman's negotiators should have tied up the loan with British commitments not to dis criminate against us when it comes to politics and trade.
 Here is one behind -the-scenes il- iustration which makes Congress men boiling mad
 The Export t-Import Bank gave Greece, Jan. II, loan of $25, ,000,- GOO. But before advancing the money, the State Department call td in Greek Ambassador Cimon P Diamantopoulos, and administered an oral spanking because his Gov ernment did not respect the fifth air freedom.
 The fifth air freedom gives for eign planes the right to pick up passengers in transit. In other words, an American plane flying from Italy to Egypt could stop ill Greece and pick up passengers. Al though this was agreed at the Chi cago Air Convention, Greece does not adhere to the fifth air freedom
 ssador Diamantopoulos when spanked, replied.
 But, gentlemen, don't you real ize that the British required us to do this. The British run Greece British troops still occupy the country We would gladly give the United States exclusive air rights in Greece. But we can't while un- der Britain"
 In the end, the State Department okayed the $25,0o0,0oo Export-Im- port Bank loan, though simultan- eollsly demanding Greek fiscal re- forms. Real fact. however, is that the. Greeks are now obliged to pay British banks about one-third of their total revenue-most of this going to the Hambro Bank, run by Winston Churchills close friend Charles Hambro.

SHORT SAYS HE IS MADE
 '5(ApEG0AT'
Talks Out Plenty on Pearl Harbor Atiatk--FIdys
 War Department

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. = Maj Gen. Walter c. Short contended today that the War Department in four years of silence had attempted to single him out as "the scape- goat for the disaster" at Pearl Har- bor.
 In a 13,000-word statement plac- ed before the Senate House Inves- tigating Committee, the retired Hawaiian Army Commander said his superior officers in Washington had passed the buck to him until the Congressional inquiry forced the revelation of facts
 Short asserted the War Depart ment had -four years to admit" it should have acted before Dec. T, l94l, on his Nov 27 report that he mad alerted his troops only against sabotage. But the first such "ad- mission of responsibility" he said, came from Gen. George c. Mar shall, former Chief of Staff, and It. Gen. L. T. Gerow, former War Plans head, in the current hear ings
 Testifies Tn Public
 This was the first time the 65- year-old general has had an op- portunity to testify in public. Re- cords of his previous testimony be- fore the Roberts Commission and Army Inquiry Boards already have been released by the Committee.
 Short followed closely the line he had taken previously in making these contentious in his statement.
 l. He was not given the informa- tion from intercepted Japanese messages by which he said the War Department "knew definitely at g pm, December 9th, that the hour had struck and that war was at hand.'
 Hits At Marshall
 2. If General Marshall felt there were security reasons why he could not be given this information, he should have directed specifically as all-out alert as he did on false alarm in l940.

Final Showdown in SfeeI Negotiations Told; Truman
 Cracks Whip; Fight Is On
BY DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. Final showdown in the steel negotiations came after AS hours of bizarre White House negotiations during part of which Phil Murray and Ben Hairless did nothing but read the newspapers, and during which President Truman was ill the middle of family tug-of-war be- tween conservative and liberal braintrusters.
 Some advisers wanted him to re- frain from taking sides, urged that he let labor and the steel industry Lattle 1t out. Reconversion boss John Snyder was in this group.
 Other advisers argued that a hands-off attitude meant throwing the nation into long and serious strike with an eventual victory for capital and low wage for indus try. They wanted Truman to inter- yene. Postmaster General Bob Han negan was the leader of this group
 Truman followed Hannegan's ad- vice, but only after some of the most peculiar negotiating even seen inside the White House.
 Play By Play
 Here is play -by-play account of what happened.
 When Phil Murray postponed the steel strike one week at Trumans request, he had heard the President say:
 Phil. your offer seems reason able. want you to give me one week to make Hairless settle this thing. That's why I'm asking you to postpone the strike"
 Three days later tJan. 16) Mur- ray and Hairless arrived at the White House for their second meet ing.
 Truman immediately delivered a stinging demand that the strike threat be ended promptly in the national interest He asked no questions, but told the U S. Steel chief and the CIO leader to go into the Cabinet Room and get started.
 Reading The Newspapers
 Secretary of Labor Schwellen- tach and Labor Adviser Steelman then sat down with the two men Schwellenbach asking Hairless fl he had any new proposal fol breaking the deadlock. Hairless re- piled that his colnbany's position remained the same. The offer stood at IS cents an hour increase, Fair less said, no more. Schwellenbach put the same question, to Murray who replied that he couldn't droT lower than 19is cents an hour Schwellenbach then left the room told the two men to get together A few minutes later Steelman alss walked out.
 Well, what did you fellows de. cider" Murray asked Hairless, re, (Continued on Page Ttoo)

 PROBLEMS
Russia Objects 10 British in Greece, Java -ifanian
 Issue 10 Front
(BY JOHN M. H1eHrowER) )

LONDON, Jan. 22.-A fuli-scale test of the ability of the great powers to cooperate within the United Ma tions organization developed today from Soviet requests that the Secur- ity Council investigate and take measures against the maintenance of British troops in Greece and Java.
 Officials privately agreed that this move by delegates representing the Soviet Union and the Ukraine, coupled with earlier charges made by Iran against the Russians, had ended the honeymoon period of the UNO.
 American delegates were playing down talk of a crisis in the world peace agency, but it was apparent the organization was confronted with some of the toughest problems it could be asked to meet. Some Ameri- cans said privately that the United States apparently was moving into a middle man position between Rus sia and Britain.
 Tough Problems Both the Iranian appeal against Russia and the Soviet appeal against Britain were based on Article 35 of the United Nations charter and both called for action by the 11-member Security Council. The Russian British case, however, is the first in- volving two of the Security Councils five permanent members.
 The Russian complaints, filed with the Security Council late last night, accused Britain of endangering world peace and interfering with the in ternal affairs of Greece and Java.
 Neither British nor American dele gates had any fore@arning of the Russian action. Some British au- thorities speculated that the Rus sians acted to build a counter-fire against the Iranian charges on the theory that Britain was backing Iran. Some American experts said they saw a possibility that Russia suspected the United Nations of talk ing a basically anti Russian line and was moving to force showdown.
 The British cabinet met early this afternoon to discuss the Russian pro- tests.
 Nothing To Fear
 A British spokesman said that the British government felt it had "noth- ing to fear or be ashamed of, and certainly nothing to conceal" con- corning its actions and policies in Greece and Indonesia.
 He pointed out that the British government already had said it

ACTION IS THREAT IN
 BIG STRIKE
Workers Are Agreeable to Move-No Developments
 in Steel WaIkouf
CnY THE ASSOCIATED rREss)

The White House acknowledged today that Government seizure of the strike-bound meat industry was under consideration but emphasiz- ed no similar proposal was being studied yet for the steel walkout.
 Press Secretary Charles G. Ross told news conference there might be some developments in the meat strike today. The matter of seiz- ure has been under consideration" he said
 After emphasizing that his re- marks did mot refer to steel" Ross made public letter in which Pres ioent Truman instructed the steel Fact-Finding Board to continue It's study of Governmental data" and remain available for further con- sultation."
 A Government official who de- clined to be quoted said leaders of the striking CIO packinghouse workers were in Washington to dis cuss Government seizure with Sec Tetary of Labor Schwellenbach.
 Fact Finding Legislation
 The House Labor Committee, meantime, approved q modified version of President Truman's pro- posal for fact-finding boards, but stripped the agencies of the auth oritiy the President had requested to subpoena witnesses, books and records.
 The approved legislation also el- minated section banning strikes for 90 days while the boards study the disputes.
 The Committee rejected, 13 to 5, the exact version of the Fact Find ing Bill requested by MT. Truman and approved the modified version 10 to Q.
 In the third largest labor dis nute, the strike of 100000 CIO electrical appliance workers. Sec- retary of labor Schwellenbach ap- pointed two Government mediators. They are William Fl. Davis, former Chairman of the War Labor Board. and Arthur s. Meyer, Chairman of the New York State Mediation Board.
 The two went into session with officials of the General Electric and Westinghouse Companies and the striking cIO United Electrical Workers.
 Ford Case
 Tn Detroit, the Detroit News said the Ford Motor Company would offer the CIO United Auto Workers another wage increase soon. prob- ably parallelng President Truman's .6h cents hourly Increase propos- al in the steel dispute. This was denied later by Ford.
 Ford has increased It's offers to l7lz cents, within 2 cents of ths Unions reduced demands.
 As the Meat Fact Finding Board assembled in Chicago for public hearings today on the Strlke or 263 .0o0 AFL and CIO packinghouse workers, there were reports the Ad- ministration planned to offer some last minute new price increase to avoid taking over the meat plants.
 The first effects of the paralyz- ing steel strike began to be felt as the country's biggest work stop page closed steel-making end fa- bricating plants and affected con- struction, railroads and public util. ities.
 Steel production dropped to less than five percent of capacity. s3-year low. As strikers took up picket lines in plants in 2g states cnly two instances of violence. both in Ohio, were reported.
