US Steel Soys Wage
Boost Means Price
Hike

PITTSBURGH LPA) - AL
though its earnings are at a 80
year peak, US Steel says a price
increase is inevitable" if the in
dustry is to grant any "substan-
tial" boosts in wages. Other steel
industry leaders are crying their
present prices are too low. Head
of Bethlehem Steel says there's
no justification for any wage
boosts for the CIO Steelworkers,
now in negotiations with the in
dustry.

LIBERALS ARE VICTIMS OF

A big payoff of the smear cam
paigns is the defeat of liberal Sena-
tors up for reelection this summer.
Mccarthy and some of the others
have done their work well.
Senator Claude Pepper of Florida
could not muster enough votes to
win against the bitter name-calling
of "Red" and "nigger-lover" from
his fellow Floridans. 1t is reported
a million dollars of northern money
were used in the campaign against
Pepper. The stakes are high in Con-
gress.
Much the same treatment was Civ

liberal and former college president.
Graham won the primary but lost
the run-off after a whirlwind of wordy
abuse from his opposition.
Senator Glen Taylor of Idaho is
another loser in a close race. A real

STEEL RAIDERS WON'T DISRUPT EAST
HELENA, MINE Mill, SAYS MUNDING

No outside disrupters are going to
raid and wreck East Helena Local
72 Mine-Mill, stated Morris Munding,
union president, this week. Mund-
ing pointed out that the democratic
traditions of Local IL are much too

gain worthwhile results. through it's
present leadership Mr. Munding's
statement to Mine-Mill members in
Montana follows:

the East Helena smeltermen aren't
going to allow the Steel disrupters inn

by their misstatements and misrepre-
sensations into giving up our indus
try-wide union.
For a long time we have worked
with the Mine-Mill locals here in Mon
tana and with the other AS&R locals
in the company-wide international
Union AS&R Council. We have
been able to solve our mutual prob
lens and make substantial gains. We
know that Mine Mill is the only union
that really represents the workers
in all of the large non-ferrous metal
mining and smelling corporations.
We know that our best interests de-
mand that we continue to work with
the AS&R Council, yes and the Ken

REACTIONARIES CHARGED
WITH PLOT TO CAPTURE
CONGRESS, PRESIDENCY

This story didn't make the daily
press headlines. 1t failed to stir the
house un-American activities commit

Perhaps it's because the story is
about reactionaries who have been

writer's for Drew Pearson, who is

Too Big for Cursory Treatment

1t is hard to see what is to be gained by
a superficial investigation of organized crime.
If Congress is to conduct an inquiry into Nation
wide gambling syndicates and their political and
other ramifications, it should be thorough and
comprehensive one. That kind of investigation,
however, cannot be had under the extraordinary
restraint which the Senate Rules Committee
would impose on the Judiciary Committee The
Rules Committee not only cut in half the sum
requested to carry out the Kefauver-sponsored
inquiry but took the unusual step of placing
July 81 deadline on it.
Chairman McCarran of the Judiciary Com
nittee did not exaggerate when he said 1t would
be waste of time and money to launch such
q brief investigation of so large and complicated
a subject. The restriction on the inquiry gives
ammunition to Republicans who have been ac-
cusing the Democrats of fearing public expose
of links between crime syndicates and big
city political machines. That such alliances are

brought out at the recent crime conference here
