hunting planes went out again to-
day to explore suspicious wave of
squalls and showers in the West

Grady Norton, chief Federal storm
forecaster, said, however, that the

circular movement which would
make it a tropical disturbance.
Mr.. Norton and Navy weather
officials agreed the condition will
bear watching for the next few days.
The strong easterly front consist
ing of showery weather and squalls
was the first to be reported since
the present storm calendar season

A Navy plane explored the front
area yesterday. about $50 miles

Wallace Norfolk Visit
Raises Racial Issue
BY fhs Assoeiossd Press

NORFOLK. Va, Aug. 19.-The ap-
pearance Of Henry A. Wallace at the
Center Theater here August % is
providing q puzzler for city officials:
to enforce or not to enforce the
State segregation laws.
The Progressive Party presidential
nominee will be in Norfolk about
midday. Earlier. party members Of
the second district will meet at the
theater and make official the nomi-
nation of Jerry o. Gillian, colored,
of Norfolk for Congress.
The question is held to be of more
than local OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Nor
folk Is only the starting point of an
itinerary that leads to Richmond,
Raleigh and thence through the deep
South.
At any point in this itinerary, the
same conflict exists between the
party's nonsegregation policy and
laws Of Southern States, and it is re-
called that Senator Taylor of Idaho,
the party's candidate for the vice
presidency, was arrested in Birming-
name, Ala, on a charge of violating
segregation laws.
Although concerned over the pos
sible inducements in the Wallace
visit, higher city officials had moth
ing to say for publication.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-House

with Gov. Dewey, let fly yesterday
at President Trumans record and
the Chief Executives sharp criticism
of the GOP-controlled 80th Con-
gress.
Speaker Martin said that latter
three barren years." Mr.. Truman
has nothing constructive to talk
about, so ne has to attack Congress. y
The President has called the cur
rent legislative body the second
worst" in history.
A reporter wanted to know
whether Mr.. Martin intended to de-
fend Congress record during the
campaign.
1.-The Eightieth Congress-" Mr..
Martin snapped, doesn't need any
defending. We are going to brag
about the Eightieth Congress"
And he took swat at the Pres
idents repeated statements that the
lawmakers under COP control have
failed to take adequate action to
curb high prices.
THE Truman administration has
never shown the slightest indication
of wanting to check imitation" Mr..
Martin said. "All they have done
is try to check it in the headlines. y
Imitation, Mr.. Martin added, has
resulted from what he called an
"orgy of spending" by the Demo-
cratic administration. He said that
would have to be stopped before
there could be any real progress
against imitation.
Mr.. Martin predicted the Repub-
licans probably will pick up one or
two more Senate seats in the No.
vember election. That would in
crease their strength to SO. The
Democrats now have As Senate
members.

gain of lat least 20 seats in the

Federal Power Comnnission to
process without delay" the States
application for approval of q jopt
New York Ontario power project On
the st. Lawrence River.
Mr.. Dewey told the commission,
in a letter released BY his ONCE,
that the need for power was urgent
and vital to the economic develop
ment- of the region affected by the
iSt. Lawrence, as well as Of utmost
significance to the national de-
fense."
He said the application should
"be processed without delay and
only with the reservation that
nothing be done that win hamper
the fullest development OF the sea-
way" II.
Application Forwarded.
The Federal commission, In a let
ter to the Governor. said the State
Power Authority's application had
been forwarded to the international
Joint commission which must APP
prove water projects affecting Cam
ada and the United States.
1t has been estimated the POWER
development would cost S390W0 900
to $428, 000,0 900. New York and the
Canadian province of Ontario would
share the cost. The plans were
filed July Is.
The Governor, in his letter to
Leon M. Fuquay, Federal commits
sion secretary, said, For 10 years
have urged publicly and privately
the development of the st. Law
renee River, both for purposes OF
power and for purposes Of navi.
CATION. These are still my views"
| Gov. Dewey declared that de.
velopment of the power should not
be delayed by the issues raised on
the other phases of the project. The
need for hydroelectric power has
ceased to be an academic one of
the future" -
Negotiations Authorized:
He said ne had been advised that
the Army Engineers had found that
the project works as laid out are
compatible with and readily adapt
able to further Improvement of the
st. Lawrence River for nayigational
purposes" =
Last April 80, Gov. Dewey directed
the State Power Authority to open
negotiations with Canada for joint
construction of the huge power
plant. His action followed Senate
defeat of the st. Lawrence seaway
and power project.
| Development of the St. Lawrence
project long has been a hot political
issue.
The State Assembly has adopted
resolutions several times opposing
the project. The State Senate, how
ever, has not gone on record.
The seaway phase Of the two
point program - navigation. and
power-has been opposed strongly
by groups in New York port cities
such as Albany, Buffalo and New
York. Some of the seaway,s tough
est opponents, however, have sup-
ported power aspects Of the project.

Revolutionary Device
Produced for Casting
Semi-Finished Steel
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BEAVER FALLS, Pa, Aug. 49,
The Nations steel industry today
studied reports Of . revolutionary
process which some observers
thought might increase production,
simplify steel manufacture and help
decentralize the industry.
The process is q method of con-
tinuously casting semiflnished steel
shapes by use of q new machine,
eliminating certain steps in the
manufacturing process.
The development Of the new
method and a machine to do the
work was announced jointly by the
Beaver Falls plant Of the Babcock-
Wilcox Tube Co. and the Republic
Steel Corp. The companies said the
new process enables producers to
transform steel from a liquid to
semifinished shapes in one opera
ton. Spokesman for other steel
firms said the process was news to
them.
Massive Equipment Eliminated.
A statement by the two concerns
said its greatest advantage was that
1T removes from the conventional
process Of steel-making the most
massive and expensive parts OF
plants, such as equipment for in
gots, soaking pits and the blooming
mill" 1t added:
ut opens up possibilities of ut
most importance to the entire steel
industry through increasing produc-
tivity and decentralizing production
by simpliflcation Of apparatus and
increasing the final yield of steel
from the original melt"
The result, the companies re-
ported, will be a saving in capital
cost and lower maintenance and op-
Grating costs.
Machine Relatively Simple"
Although continuous casting of
nonferrous metals has been an old
story for at least 10 years, the steel
industry has been baked by higher
metal temperatures, erosion, segre-
CATION, Stag inclusion and safety
factors.
Giving the Beaver Falls plant
credit for solving these problems
with "a relatively simple piece of
equipment" the statement said: ut
is to be expected that the steel in
dustry eventually will find continu-
Gus casting as much an, essential
part Of its operations as does the
nonferrous industry
The experiments leading to the
new process were begun by Republic
six years ago. Babcock & Wilcox
Joined the work in 1914. The first
successful products were made at
Beaver Falls this March.

Al Detroit Is His Only
Listed Campaign Plan

President Truman said today his
Labor Day program at Michigan is
at present the ony definite part Of
his plans for an election campaign
which party leaders expect will COW
er every part of the country.
He told a news conference he will
announce no further plans until his
itinerary Is worked out.
The President said his daughter
Margaret would accompany him on
the Labor Day trip to Detroit and
four other Michigan cities.
He also said he has under con-
sideration an invitation to attend

drives. with the interludes spent in
Washington attending to White

Senator McGrath did not name
any of the cities that Mr.. Truman

the South, where the Democrats fear
the loss of electoral votes over the
civil rights issue, the President is

as far as Texas.
The chairman said the National

the campaigns Of President Truman
and his running mate, Senator
Barley of Kentucky. who already

Middle West.
Senator McGrath expects to divide
his time between the New York
headquarters of the party and Ma
tional headquarters here, giving
overall direction to the campaign.
