On Metal Boosts

Washington, Feb. 2-(UP)
President Truman was to
confer today with Price Adj
ministrator Chester Bowles as gov
eminent efforts to end the steel
strike apparently narrowed down
to steel prices.
Bound UP in the conference pre-
sumably was the question Of wheth-
err the Administration feels It can
give the steel operators the price
boost they say is necessary to meet
Mr.. Truman's wage proposals.
Also possibly involved was the
question Of whether Bowles would
continue to head the Adlninistra-
tons fight against initiation. Bowles
hurried back from q South Carolina
rest for today's conference.
Bowles May Resign
Most sources believed BowleS
would stay on the job until prices
have been stabilized. But some
thought he might resign II ne felt
a boost in steel prices would endan-
ger the entire sterilization program.
Meanwhile, Government officials
were expecting another White House
move within a few days to break the
steel stalemate-perhapS a steel price
announcement along with a fact
finding report.

The report will not include specific

OPA previously recommended a
steel price increase Of $3.50 a ton
based on a study Of industry earn

Nov. 80. U. S. Steel Corporation said
that Reconversion Chief John w.
Snyder subsequently offered an in
crease Of more than 81 to head-off

that he favored continuing price
