SteeIman Action
up Congress-,
Hoffman Says
Report on Snubbing
Of Two Subpoenos
Is Being Prepared

Representative Hoffman, Re-
publican, of Michigan said today
that action on the failure of
Presidential Assistant John r.
Steelman to appear before his
House Labor Subcommittee 'is a
matter for Congress to decide" +"
Mr.. Steelman told the chairman
late yesterday that President Tru-
man had advised him to disregard
two subpoenas demanding his
presence at subcommittee hearings
on the strike in Federal cafeterias
operated by Government Services,
Inc.
Meanwhile, it was announced that
report on the entire GSI inquiry
is being prepared for consideration
Of the full House Labor Committee,
probably tomorrow.
Hoffman Gets Steelman Note.
Mr. Hoffman and his two subcom-
mittee members, Representatives
Fisher, Democrat, OF Texas and
Smith, Republican, of Kansas met
in closed session this morning with
Chairman Hartley of the full COM
mittee.
Mr.. Fisher told reporters that he
and Mr.. Smith were instructed to
draw up report for the full COM
mittee. He said he hoped to finish
it late this afternoon and that the
full committee might meet tomorrow
Mr.. Hoffman went to the meeting
today carrying a note which Mr.
Steelman sent along with the two
subpoenas he returned. thread:
"As you know, my official duties
are to advise and assist the Presi-
dent of the United States. After
the receipt of each of the subpoenas
I promptly informed the President
and in each case the President di-
rected me, in view of my duties as
his assistant, not to appear before
your subcommittee"
To Probe Status of Office.
We'll have to figure out whether
his is an Office created by Congress,
Mr.. Hoffman told reporters. If il
is, we can ask him questions. II
he's just a sort Of other self to the
President, then maybe we can't"
The chairman wanted to ask Mr.
Steelman about White House ef-
forts to end the two-month-old
walkout. He has indicated his be-
lief that the White House has been
trying to bypass the Taft Hartley
Act by appointing special medi-
ator to settle the strike.
After Mr.. Steelman ignored the
two subpoenas, one for last Satur-
day and the other for Monday, Mr.
Hoffman threatened action point
ing toward jailing the White House
aide.
Meanwhile, George E. Strong, the
special mediator. has submitted to
Federal Works administrator Philip
tB. Fleming a report that further
negotiations of the strike appear
hopeless. He has. offered to STEP
out of the picture If it would lead
to a settlement.
Local All of the Cafeteria Work
ers' Union (CIO) agreed to accept
proposals made by Mr.. Strong, but
they were turned down by GSI
The main issue involves rehirins
the striking workers.

On the question of how much

Doctors Report Radioactive
Arsenic Used for Cancer

ATLANTIC CITY. N-J.-The first
use of radioactive arsenic for can
Ger "a reported to the American
Association for Cancer Research.
This arsenic is made in an atomic
energy furnace at the Argonne lab
oratory near Chicago. 1t is used on
human leukemia and Hodgkins dis
ease, both incurable forms of can
GER.
The report was made by Drs. Will
liam Neal, Leon o. Jacobson, Aus
tin M. Brues, Howard Ducoff, Rob-
ert Straube and Thomas Kelley of
the Argonne and the University of
Chicago department of medicine.
Arsenic is one of the old remedies
for both diseases. It never cured.
Nor was it known why the arsenic
was beneficial.
The new form, known as Arsenic
78, emitting strong radioactive rays,
is used for two purposes. One is to
try to learn why arsenic is bene-
fetal. The other is to find out
whether this new form may be more
useful for people with the diseases.

Employees Hs!p TO Rebuild
Quilted Pottery Factory

SCIO. OHIO.-Two months after
fire destroyed this towns only in
dustry, employees completely re-
built the Quilted pottery plant and
returned to pottery making.
After the fire the owner sur-
veyed the burned ruins of his bust
ness and estimated loss at almost
two million dollars. He was ready
to quit.
Penniless and unemployed, he
had founded the company in a di-
lapidated, abandoned factory in
1882. He gathered a handful of
townsfolk together and they de-
veloped the company into the
worlds largest firm of its kind.
The climax of their success came
at Christmas, 1916, when S795. 686
was passed out in bonus checks.
The story of the pottery's employer
worker relations received wide &C
claim.
In 1888, the employees got a box
of chocolates. In 1915, they received
Is per cent pay increases and S75,-
900 in cash gifts. The pottery work
ers also obtained such things as
household goods and appliances at
wholesale prices through their en-
ployer's efforts.
So after the fire, the towns physi-
clan, clergyman, and merchants
hauled building materials, ham,
mered nails to steel Quonset factory
buildings and expedited rejuvena-
ton of the pottery plant.
Typists turned steel builders and
tea-cup makers became common
laborers to restore the plant.
Four kilns have been lighted.
Three o will be ready for full
production by spring.
The job took 80 days less than
expected.

Steering Column Gives

SHELBYVILLE, IND.-Jeffery
Pfaff was driving on a four-lane
highway when the steering col
umn broke, throwing him against
the dashboard. The sudden stop
ping of the car threw a big bucket
against his head, nearly knock
ing him unconscious.
About that time he felt a hard
jolt. Finally getting the car
stopped, he found he was headed
the wrong way on the left lane,
with the left side of his car badly
dented. A n o h e r automobile,
some distance down the highway,
was wrapped around a tree.
Pfaff's al had sideswiped it,
causing it to crash.
The happy ending: No one was
injured.

A Pocket

Howdy Folks: We had a talk
with the editor of the Laurel Out
look about writing columns and he
gave us some advice about the popu-
lar profession.
He said there was money in
writing, but he had never made
much at it because he didn't
have any rich relatives to write
TO.
He encouraged us though. He
said that by the time we had written
long enough to discover that we had
no talent for writing we'd probably
be too successful to quit.
OF course we know how to
write successfully for a maya
zine. Just write 'em a check for
a subscription. They re-
ject that kind of writing.
Our neighbor wished us success
He said he was certain we'd be
able to turn out a column a week
on u typewriter.

Anoeosfia High School

High school is one opportunity
that is given to every one who can
make use of it. Many students are
given this chance but cannot use it
because OF home troubles or the
matter of going to work. Those of
us who do make use of this opportu-
nifty should not go to high school
with the intention of quitting when
we're 16.
After you have been in high
school at least a month, you will
find there are many things that the
school offers you. There are clubs
in which you may take part If you
wish. Many of these organizations
will help in your school work ano
also in receiving extra credits, such
as the cadet corps. These corps are
for both boys and girls and members
receive one half credit for each Sc
mester. If student Is really in
dustrious, there are many different
scholarships for college he may win
if he tries.
High school isn't just work: it Is
pleasure, too. Going to high school
will teach you many things besides
your lessons. 1t will teach you to
obey and to be on time, and will
give you better chance OF getting
a job later on.

A stamp for the 100th anniversary
