the Ohio Senator did not say So
there were reports yesterday he

Ball Asks Basic Change.
Although the 2o-man group of
Republican "revisionists" has not
announced any agreement on a cost
figure, Senator Ball said yesterday
the amount of money would be re-
duced If one of the basic changes
this group is discussing should be

Senator Ball was referring to q

The Minnesota Senator urged, in
stead, that the relief needs of the
16 countries be separated from the
recovery projects. and then each
recovery project be judged by its
ability to increase production in
Europe.
Senator Ball admitted after leav-
ing the Vandenberg conference that
there docs not seem to be too much
chance" for such a. change in the
underlying approach to the recovery
program, "at least in committee"

Presidential Approval
Seen on Annuity Raise
For Retired Employees

Representative Lyle, Democrat of
Texas, yesterday forecast favorable
action by President Truman on the
bill giving retired Government en-
ployes increased annuities and sur
vivorship benefits.
He spoke at the monthly meeting
OF the National Association of Re-
tired Civil Employees meeting in the
National Museum.
The LANCER Chavez Stevenson
measure was reported out by con-
ferees Friday and is expected to pass
the Senate and House.
Mr.. Lyle said he favored making
such grants as provided in the bill
tax exempt because the Govern
ment should never tax the basic liv-
ing of any of U.s." He added that
there were many other ways for the
Government to gets its tax funds.
He declared that opponents of the
bill, in claiming it was inflationary,
were only creating "smokescreen." 4"
High living costs, he added, are out
of proportion for persons with fixed
incomes.
The association adopted resolu-
ton expressing gratitude to Senator
Taft, Republican of Ohio, for his
determined floor leadership" in
passage of the bill in its original
form. Conferees and the Senate
Civil Service Committee also were
thanked.

Reply TO Statements.
The 15-page statement from the
two federations devoted consider
able space to refuting statements
they said were made during the
fund drive. Following are some
of the Statements. the facts
averred by the two federations and
replies by Chest and Council Of
f1cials:
"Statement-You can say you
want your gift to go to this agency
or that, and that's where it will 60. "
"The facts according to the two
federations)-The past chairman of
the. (Chest) Federation, the chair
man of the Community Chest and
the former director of the Chest
all stated to the committee that in
spite of the fact that the contributor
could designate his preference on
the back of his pledge card, the
contributors choice was ignored.
This method, they stated, was i'm
practical, unfair to other agencies
and was not followed up by the
Chest"
Held misunderstanding.
Chest President Lee D. Buffers
|reply-The committee misunderstood
statements made to it by Chest rep
resentatives, who actually said not
enough gifts were designated to
affect agency appropriations. But
designations are never ignored.
Actually, two agencies, the Animal
Rescue League and the Soldiers,
Sailors and Marines Club, will re-
|ceive more money in 1948 from the
Chest than their reduced share of
the undersubscribed campaign be-
cause the designations to them were
higher than the reduced budget
appropriations would otherwise have
allowed to be paid. The Chest BY
laws require that gifts go where they
are designated.
statement - The Council of So
cial Agencies does not have a ma
jority of votes of the board of
directors of the Chest. It has only
two votes"
THE Facts (according to the two
federations) Article w of the
bylaws of the Chest provides for
the election of a board of trustees
consisting of two persons from each
constituent agency, one of whom
shall be an active paid member and
the other a member of the governing
board, and of an equal number Of
trustees from the contributors.
First of all, it must be pointed
out that member constituent agen-
cies are all members of the Council
of Social Agencies. The survey dis
closed that the Is per cent of paid
social workers together with the 25
per cent members of the governing
bodies, who unfortunately have the
greatest active interest in those
agencies, do have definite majority
of the trustees, because the remain
ing so per cent have not been as
diligent in attending meetings. The
conclusion is obvious
Board Setup To BE Changed.
Mr.. Buffers reply-Agency board
members are also usually outstand-
ing citizens who vote what is best
for the whole community, rather
than Just for their own agencies,
and do not vote as a bloc. Minutes

Augusta were being held on Brow
der's instructions"
The FBI announcement said
Browder already was under bond on

transport of military equipment.
He has appealed a one-year sem

Augusta December 2, on a charge

Resentment Seen.
The Chest Federation reply-The
20 agencies recommended for dele
ton or transfer have scores of thou
sands of friends and supporters. II
is reasonable to assume they would
resent a summary or wholesale dis
missal, to the point where the cam
paign would lose far more than the
total amount of their budgets.
The two federations also criticized
statements that because of the fail
ure of the Chest campaign they
would have to cut services by one
third. The critics said the differ
ences in the budgets between this
year and last year show a much
smaller percentage loss in funds
than what the agencies say they will
have to cut in services.
Agencies which have made these
announcements replied that, with
supplemental appropriations last
year, the difference between this
years and last years budgets is
larger than the critics stated. They
explained further that long delayed
salary increases, combined with staff
cuts to keep down the overall
appropriation for salaries, accounted
for part of the cut in services since
there is limit to the case load
any one worker can carry. The dif-
ference, these agencies said, also
was explained by higher overall
living costs.

u. 5. Steel and Clio
Preyiew Arguments
On Wage Increases
By the Assoeioted Press

PITTSBURGH, Feb. THE CIO-
United Steelworkers and the United
States Steel Corp. today engaged in
polite and restrained rivalry - via
messages in union and company
publications-to present their re-
spective stands on wage increases.
Arguments laid down in "Steel
Labor" the union newspaper, and
in "USSteel," the company,s maga-
zine, gave union members employed
by big steel an advance look at the
attitudes each side is likely to take
when negotiations begin April l.
Philip Murray, president of both
the CIO and the 850,000-member
Steelworkers' Union, has announced
an unspecif1ed pay increase will be
sought. Contract provisions for al
most all major steel producers allow
such a demand to be made this
springs although the pacts have an
other year of life.
Committee Meets February Is.
Size of the increases to be sought
is expected to be disclosed after
the unions Wage Policy Committee
meets here February 10. Steel
Labor" said the committee will have
mountain of evidence before it to
prove that the industry can easily
afford to boost wages"
Declaring the steel industry's re-
cent price advances will pile up
additional profits, before taxes, esti-
mated conservatively at $4,000 600
during 1948, over and above the
fantastic profits realized in 1947" the
newspaper said: The steady climb
in the cost of living amounts to vir-
tual wage cuts for Steelworkers.
Research economists employed by
the union estimated 1947 profits
of the whole industry at nearly
$3.50, ,0OO,O after taxes. The union
quoted Secretary of Labor Schwel-
lenback as saying recent wage in
creases won by labor generally were
erased by the spiralling cost of liv-
ing"
Company Defends Prices.
In "USSteel," the corporation de-
Tended its price structure and de-
MED profits make prices higher. The
company said that during five good
years" 1920, 1923, 1926, 1928 and
1940) its profit per dollar of sales
was 10 cents, compared to Al
cents during the five war years and
a Scent loss during five bad
years" Q921, 1881, 1882, 1888 and
1880. During 1916 and the first nine
months of 1947, profits per sales
dollar were cents.
The company magazine quoted
surveys as demonstrating "the pub
lie thinks 10 cents is q fair profit
on each. dollar Of sales" and de-
clared: This 10 per cent return
80" has been realized by United
States Steel only in very good years"
Taking another approach, the
corporation said steel wages have
risen more than twice as much as
steel prices since the prewar
period"
Average weekly earnings in U. S.
Steel were reported at $6l.34 in
October of 1947, as against $31.3S
for 1940 The publication quoted
the trade journal, Iron Age" as
saying the composite price of
finished steel on December 9. l947,
was 3.18925 cents a pound, COM
pared with 230096 cents during
1910, an advance of "only 80 per
| cent" compared to a 95 per cent
gain in wages.

 Commenting on the success of the l947 publication, Beasley em- phasized the interest shown in Alaska by national business lead CTS.
 "Tewkesbury Publishers sold thousands of business directories the first complete one of its kind - throughout the United States. At the request of many business executives, the revised publication will include a classi- fled directory of reliable business concerns in continental U. s. ac- lively interested in business with Alaskans.
