The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Last week Pres ident Truman held an important conference with the members of the steel fact-finding panel. Here's what happened:
 The President asked the panel what their figures showed regard ing the need of a wage increase panel chairman Nate Feinsinger replied:
 MT. President, you are very much on the conservative side. The gov ernnent figures and the figures provided by the steel industry completely support your 1872 cent proposal
 I'm glad that your facts con- firm my decision,' replied Truman. I'm not going to change it."
 Truman then asked about the need for steel price increase The panel suggested that other government agencies which have explored the question in greater detail should stand up and be counted.
 Truman agreed, but said he tnoueht the figuring was fairly simple.
 Tt looks to me like I can do a little horseback arithmetic on that count myself
 He then began calculating on a pad uf paper to the effect that if the idustry produces 60,000,000 tons with a four r-eollar-a increase they will have an extra s240,00O. .00O Against this. they estimate that an 18is cent increase would cost

 Weary, c usheveled passengers emerged from the rescue vessels and were assisted inside the dock buildings, the horror of their ex-
 periences plainly recorded on their
 faces. Anxious relatives and friends
 crowded in, seeking news of those
 who had not yet arrived. Haggard, their eyes bloodshot from long sleeplessness, crewmen
 from the rescue ships gulped hot coffee, then slumped to the floor of the Army building, grateful for
 few minutes of rest.
 The survivors were dressed in a variety of clothing. I saw a man wearing Army trousers and a Ma

 the ship, but I was told most in- juries were minor. One of the
 smaller vessels was converted into hospital ship to relieve pressure on the overcrowded Seward Hos

 A woman wept with joy when ner daughter came ashore; another screamed when told her husband was. not in the group. Little Mich ael Sherin, 5, remained at the dock all day, waiting for his mother trying so hard to board each ship It took several persons to keep him inside the warm building. His mo- ther, Mrs. Billiard Sherin, was among the late arrivals.
 Survivors Fed Checked Busy Seward housewives, Army nurses and Red Cross workers met the incoming boats. The survivors were Ied and given medical check ups before being sent to town
 Hundreds of thick meat sandwiches and gallons of hot coffee were served.
