Byrnes Is Confident Macarthur
Will Make Control Plan Work
soys General Was Not Informed Of Moscow
Agreement Because He Is Not PoIicy-Muker

Gen. Macarthur, despite his objec-
tions to the plan, was determined to
do his utmost to make it work.
Mr.. Byrnes said Thomas d. Blake,
press officer for the Far Eastern
Commission, was not authorized by
any State Department official to
say that Gen. Macarthur had not
objected to the plan for Japan and
had been advised during Moscow
discussions on the subject.
This statement by Mr.. Blake
Saturday brought a denial from
Gen. Macarthur, who said he had
registered his objection to the plan
in d dispatch to the Army Chief of
Staff October 81. Mr.. Byrnes said
he never saw such a communication
from the supreme commander.
Mr.. Byrnes declared that the plan
adopted for Allied control of Japan
was essentially the one he took to
Moscow. The only difference, he
said, was that Macarthur directive
now can be reviewed if it applies to
a fundamental change in the Japa-
nese constitution, in the regime OF
control or a change in the govern
ment as whole.
Secretary Byrnes said it never had
been planned to make great changes
in the constitution. He added that

Use Of Fact-Findinq
In Effort 10 Prevent
Steel Strike Ordered
Truman Names Boord;
Sterilization Agency Will
Take Over WLB Functions
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The Government today had
committed itself to public fact
finding in an effort to head off
a general steel industry strike
set for January II, one that
would tie up virtually all of
American manufacturing indus
try.
President Truman appointed q
new board to investigate the long
standing wage dispute between the
Go United Steel Workers and the
giant industry that is the backbone
Of the Nations productive effort. He
gave the board until February 10 to
report.
He also ordered OPA to review
price ceilings Of steel products with
q view to determining not later than
February / whether any price in
creases would be proper"
Industry Asks Higher Prices.
OPA's part In the proceedings ap-
parently was the key to the admin
istration's hopes for averting n
strike. The steel workers have de-
manded a $2-per-day wage increase.
The industry has Stated that it must
get higher prices for its products to
operate .profitably under present
wage schedules. Even higher prices.
it has said, must be obtained, to
raise wages.
In another move, Mr.. Truman ap-
pointed a Wage Sterilization Board
to take over the functions of the
War Labor Board in the stabiliza-
ton field. WLB expired last mid
night. The new board, set up within
the Labor Department, will not han
die labor disputes, although it may
appoint arbitrators where mutually
agreed to.

board, similar to the panel that lust
completed hearings in the General
