ing 'em.
AS for instance, during World
War II, much as it hurt them,
the bureaucrats were forced to
admit that the big industries
did an outstanding job of pro.
ducing the things needed to de-
feat Germany and Japan.
Then, when the firing stopped,
those same bureaucrats became
alarmed, almost panicky, about
steel production. They wanted to
put Uncle Sam into the steel
manufacturing business to take
care of the heavy pent-up de-
mands for civilian goods. They
even criticized United States
Steel Corporation and other steel
producers for not being big
enough.
But the steel companies fooled
them. They enlarged their facili-
ties, continued their policy of i'm
proving manufacturing methods.
and quicker than you could say
Jack Robinson" took care of
the situation. Americans got all
the steel they needed.
However, as soon as the steel
companies had demonstrated
they could furnish steel in suffi-
cient quantities, without an as
sist from the Federal Govern
ment, the bureaucrats suffered
another brain storm" Now, they
charge that United States Steel
Corporation is too big and must
be broken up into several small.
err units. Apparently big business
is to be damned if it does and
damned if it doesn't. There just
amt no pleasing 'em.
Let's consider few facts
about the United States Steel
Corporation. When it was form
ed in 1901, it produced &c per.
cent of the nations steel-today
it produces only SO percent. While
its output has grown greatly in
the past half century, the produc-

ton of its competitors has grown
nearly four times as much. If
that is a trend to monopoly,
as the bureaucrats charge,
then Noah Webster's dictionary
should be thrown into the ashcan.
Does United States Steel hurt
small business? Small business
does not think so. Of the $4,000
suppliers of goods or services to
United States Steel, at least So
900 are small businesses.
Do small consumers dislike

not, because of the 10000 Gus.
toners to whom that corporation
sells it's products, some 10000
are small customers. To quote
statement of the company:
1--WE have. always cultivated
small customers. We know from
experience that little ones grow
into big ones. We welcome every
new business because more bust
ness mean more customers"
One would gather from this
statement that United States
Steel and small customers have
a mutual respect and liking for
each other.

Sixth Amendments provisions for

free speech and opinion.

"The executive order" Mr..
Perlman and Assistant Attorney
General H. Graham Morrison said
in the brief, obviously does not
contemplate any form of thought
control. While the ultimate test,
disloyalty, is a state of mind, the
order clearly indicates that the
state of mind is to be inferred
from relevant activities and as
sociations. The order is not con-
cerned with undisclosed beliefs" :"
Courts have authority to re-

to the extent of determining
whether the administrative pro-
