Truman Keeping Hands Off, Steel And Coal Strikes

WASHINGTON (P)-The White House said yesterday President Truman has set no deadline on mediation efforts in the steel-coal disputes and is keeping hands off'' for the present.
 Charles G. Ross, Presidential secretary, described as "entirely without warrant" reports that MT. Truman planned to intervene in the strikes if they were not settled by the week end.
 Ross said MT. Truman author ized him to say the President has not discussed the strike situation individually with any member of the cabinet.
 The President may have men, toned it at a cabinet meeting, Ross said.
 A cabinet officer told reporters Wednesday that the President had decided to step in if the strikes were not settled by this week end. He asked not to be publicly iden- tified by name.
 Ross said the President has kept abreast of the progress of conciliation efforts through John R. Steelman, his assistant, who has been in touch with them through Cyrus Ching, federal me diatiOn director.
 The strikes are still in the hands of the mediation service, Ross emphasized.
 Ross indicated this statement to reporters:
 "Any attribution to the Presi- dent of any plan to intervene in the coal and steel strikes or to fix a deadline on the effort to reach a settlement through mediation is entirely without warrant.
 "This office has told you every day, in reply to questions, the liter al and exact truth of the situa- tion."
 Even before Ross made his statement, another official-prom-

are authors of the bill for the sur Vey.
 Their measure was endorsed strongly by the House foreign af- fairs committee, as well as the Senate foreign relations commit tee. while it was pending in Con gress.
 The House committee stressed the importance of Alaska to the defense of the United States and Canada, saying:
 At one point it is only some 50 miles from the Soviet Union; if sets astride the Great Circle air route to Soviet Asia.
 "It seems a foregone conclusion that in a future conflict, Alaska will be a prime enemy target"
 The committee said defense needs require well devolped and secure transportation lines to Alas ka, unable the year around. It mentioned the fact that the Terri tory has important fish and fur industries, as well as mineral and timber reserves, and said Alaska's economic development depends on transportation at "rates reason able enough to permit the fullest possible movement of goods"
 The survey actually will be lit tie more than a formality. The government already has a survey of the railroad route to the north. It was made by army engineers in 1042 and 1943 and is complete even to such details as special trackwork and bridge design need ed.
 Magnuson attended the signing of the bill. He said the President remarked:
 "I'm even more interested in a railroad to Alaska than you peo- pie out on the coast"

All Kinds At
 FishwheeI Strike
(BY Jack Daum)

Fairbanks NewS-Miner Writer
 Written for the Associated Press)
 FISHWHEEL, (P)-Residents of this gold-seeking tent village rep resent a fairly accurate cross-sec- ton of Alaska-native old-timers, cheechakoS and business men.
 The old-timers are a quiet group going about their business with the calm efficiency form of many years an experience in the north. Their entire equipment for a months stay in this treacherouS wilderness is carried in a large pack. A tent, a collapsible stove, few pounds of dehydrated vege- tables and dried meat, an axe and a gun are all these redoubtable characters require.
 ut the cheechakos-Indian for newcomers - arrive like motion picture stars on an ocean voyage. Huge bundles of clothing, canned food, fancy lanterns, heavy stoves, and many small comfort items are piled on the river bank in hur- ried disorder.

 Ching was reported trying to get Philip Murray, president of the CIO and head of it's striking steelworkers union, to negotiate directly today with the U. s. Steel Corp. in New York.
 Murray went to New York from meetings in Cleveland with his CIO lieutenants. Ching has been meeting with industrial relations experts of U. s. Steel, the nations biggest stell producer, for more than week.

U. 5. Asks ; Red Satellites
For Human Rights Probe
By the Assoeioted Press

The United States demanded
yesterday that three Russian sat-
elite states permit impartial, on
the-spot inquiries into charges
that they are violating basic
human rights.
The three are Romania, Bulgaria
and Hungary, which are accused
by the United States of breaking
terms of the peace treaties they
signed at the end of the war.
Britain also sent similar notes
to the three Balkan nations. The
demands are expected to be re-
jected and in that event the Uni
ted States and Britain probably
will carry their case to the Uni
ted Nations.
Virtually identical American
notes were delivered to the foreign
Offices of the three countries. This
step followed refusal by Moscow
two months ago to join in an in
vestigatlon of how human rights
are treated in the three countries.

Palestine Arab refugees on its ter

An official British source re-

the Palestine fighting areas.)
Britain has made several dona-
tions for the relief of distress
among the Palestine Arab refugees
in the past. These have been
mainly to international relief
organizations like the Red Cross
and the international Refugee
Organization.
This is believed to be the first
time the British have made a di-
rect contribution to an Arab gov
eminent to resettle the refugees
who fed when war came; to
Palestine.
Authoritative estimates place
the number of Arab refugees at

barden Plans 10 Insist.
On Education Bill Vote.
|by House Committee
BY the Associated Press

The political controversy over
voting Federal money for the Ma
tion's grade and high schools was
tossed toward the House Labor
Committee today by Representa-
tive Barden, Democrat, of North
Carolina.
He told a reporter he planned to
insist on a vote on the issue, but
he was not sure when the test
might come. The committee was
to meet behind closed doors today.
Some committee Democrats. II
of whom met quietly yesterday
afternoon on the subject, pre-
dicted a compromise bill would be
approved by the committee. Some
others in the meeting doubted
this.
The core Of the controversy is
whether Federal money should be
granted to non-public schools for
any purpose.
An aid Dill passed by the Sen
ate in April would allow it in
States which allocate some State
money to private schools. A bill
by Mr.. Barden would bar Federal
money from non-public schools
under all circumstances, regardless
Of State laws on the subject.
Catholics in and out of Con-
gress have attacked Mr.. Barden's
bill, charging it discriminates
against parochial schools. Sup
porters Of the bill say it is based
on the principle of separation of
Church and State.
