arrival at Calabasas built there
3O-room brick hotel which he named
the Santa Rita Hotel and which was
opened in 1882 when the railroad

ghost town, had population in
those early days of 1000. The hotel
was destroyed by fire about 20 years
ago, after it had been used for years
as hay barn.
The hotel at Calabasas was the
headquarters in 1886 of Generals
Miles, LaWton, Leonard Wood, and
Clark, at the time that the Apache
Indian chief Geronimo was on the
warpath. To that hotel were brought
the bodies of Mrs. A. L. Peck and

building burned around 1906, he
endeavored to save his papers and

than the beloved woman who has

wonderful woman, and one who will
be greatly missed.

The W ashingion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-One point most people don't realize about Presi- dent Truman's steel strike negotia- tions is that he has the definite power under the law to fix wages and prices. He could have rammed an 1872 cent wage increase down U. S. Steers throat if he had wished.
 The Economic Stabilization Act is clear and concise on this point. The President of the United States it says, may provide for making adjustments with respect to prices, wages and salaries. to correct gross inequities."
 It is under this Act that the President gave the steel industry a tentative price increase of $4 a ton. But he never made it clear to the public that when he asked Ben Hairless of U. s. Steel to in crease wages to 1872 cents an houh, he had full authority under the Economic Stabilization Act. He could have demanded acceptance instead of merely requesting it.
 Some of the Presidents close ad- yisers now want bim to clarify this point and get a lot tougher with the steel industry. They point out that if a merchant violates OPA ceiling prices, he is fined or even goes to jail OPA ceiling prices are fixed under the same Economic
