.Whee|chair Credited
With Saving 7 Crash

A Veterans Administration en-
ploye, crippled for the last IA
years, credits her wheelchair with
saving her and a friend from seri-
GUS injury in a traffic accident.
Miss Irene Donohue. stricken
with both polio and multiple scle-
rosis, was out for a weekend drive
Saturday with a fellow employe,
Miss Muriel Gernand, when an
other car rammed into the rear of
Miss Gerands automobile as they
waited for a stop light near Bal
timore. Both were considerably
shaken up.
But if that wheelchair hadn't
been in the back seat, acting as a
buffer, we probably would have
broken our necks," Miss Donohue
said today. Both were treated for
cuts and bruises at st. Agnes
Hospital in Baltimore.
A lieutenant of the Arbutus
(Md.) Fire Department then
drove both women back to Wash
ington to their home at the Meri-
dian Hill Hotel, leaving the badly
damaged car in Maryland
garage and leaving Miss Donohue
without a ride to work.
In the past. Miss Germand has
driven her to work every morning,
and now Miss Donohue's problem
Is to find another car.

tions Committee, which normally
would get another crack at the
size of the arms program even if
the authorization" bill carries the

Representative Vorys, Republican.

Congress in January.
If the Foreign Affairs group re-

proach to the Western European
section, however, for the sole pur-
pose of emphasizing that every
thing done Immediately in that
area is to be subordinate to the
subsequent planning by the Joint
Council under the Atlantic
treaty. This does not mean let
ting the Joint Council shape
American military aid. The pur-
pose, the two Republican Sena-
tors explained, is to fit the in
terim aid into plans the United
States approves later on after
Joint Council meetings are held.
In scaling down the $780,
900, 900 in the administration bill
for Western Europe, Senators
Vandenberg and Dulles first would
eliminate the item of $155, 900, 900
which was to be used to help the
European countries reopen their
own arms factories. They feel
this step should not even be
started by the unilateral action
of the United States before the
council meets.
Rest Split Equally.
( With this item eliminated, they
evened off the remainder at ST.
000,0OO,000 and split it equally
into half cash for the first year
and the other half in future con-
tract authority. Adding this cash
to the money for Greece. Turkey
and the, other scattered areas
would make the total cash outlay
under the substitute $739,010,0O0
At the hearing before the Bank
ing Committee, Harvey j. Gun
derson; a director of the RFC
said that if Congress directs the
lending agency to advance $780,
900 900, or any other part OF the
arms program, the RFC would
owe that amount to the Treasury
until Congress either reimbursed
the RFC or Cancelled the notes
that the agency would have to give
the Treasury.
/ Senator Capehart. Republican,
of Indiana, observed that such ac-
ton would have the effect of put
ting Congress on the spot" because
RFC would lose the 100000, 900
unless reimbursement was voted.
Hearing Set on RFC Plan.
Senator Maybank, Democrat, of
South Carolina issued sharp
protest Saturday against any at
tempt to finance a large part of
the arms program through the

High Profits in Steel
Won Last, Economist
Tells Fact-Finders
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-A steel
industry expert told a presidential
fact-finding board today that re-
cent high profits in the industry
were unusual and would not con-
tinue.
The statement was made by DR.
Jules Backman, an associate pro-
fessor of economics at New York
University.
DR.. Backman continued for
second day his testimony before
the three-man board named by
President Truman in an effort to
avert a Nationwide steel strike.
He answered the testimony of
Robert r. Nathan. one-time Gov
ernment economist who appeared
for the CIO Steelworkers Union
when its side Of the case was pre-
sented to the board.
During the first quarter of
1949. reported steel profits
reached their highest level" Dr.
BacKman conceded.
Reached Record Level.
"It was during the period that
the rate of operations exceeded
100 per cent of ingot capacity for
a three month period for the first
time in the history of the indus
try.
This record level was extremely
unusual and provides no indica-
ton as to what may be expected in
the future.
certainly there Is no evidence
in the past which suggests the
possibility or probability of con-
tinuous operations at or near the
level that prevailed early this year.
with the disappearance of this
unusually high rate of operations,
the profits reported by the steel
companies also have melted rap
idly. Thus, in the second quarter
Of 1949. reported profits Of steel
companies fell about 25 per cent
below the first quarter total
Profit Cited in Union Argument.
Mr.. Nathan had argued that the
phenomenal" steel profits of re-
cent months were proof the COM
panies could pay the 80 cents an
hour package" asked by the
union without increased prices.
However, DR.. Backman said. Mr..
Nathan had taken into account
only the man-hours worked by pro-
duction workers and had ignored
the fact that about one-third Of
steel companies are engaged in
production operations. He also
stated that Mr. Nathan had ig-
nored the possibility of great in
creases in indirect costs to steel
companies which might follow as a
chain reaction from rise in the
steel wage pattern.
Unions in other industries" he
said, have made no effort to dis
guise their reluctance to bargain
seriously about wages and employe
benefits until they can see the
results of these proceedings.
Charges Picture Distorted.
"An increase in wages in the
bituminous coal industry, for ex-
ample, would increase the cost of
producing steel Immediately"
DR.. Backman contended that
Mr.. Nathan also had given a
distorted picture of the relation I
ship between the rise in profits |
and in wages in the steel industry.
He said Mr.. Nathan had done |
this by taking 1889 or 1916 profits
and comparing them with the very
high levels Of profits in 1948 or
the first quarter of 1949. Both
1889 and 1916 were relatively low
profit years for the steel industry,
