Trumun's Steel Statement

ties should be Settled. we nave
the Office of Price Sterilization
to consider whether or not the
steel companies are entitled to a
price increase on account Of any
wage increase or other cost in
creases which might result from
the settlement of the dispute.
The Wage Sterilization Board is
made up of representatives of
labor, management and the pub
lie. This board will give both sides
an opportunity to present the
facts and arguments they think
the board should consider. Then
the board will consider the case,
trying to find the best solution
from the standpoint of labor, in
dustry and the public-balancing
the equities and the interest of
all three. The board will consider
the case promptly on its merits
and make recommendations for a
fair settlement, consistent with
sound stabilization policies.
No one is In a position as yet
to say how much of an increase in
wages or other benefits would be
permissible under wage stabiliza-
ton policies. The Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board is the only body quail
fed to make such a determination
and the matter has not been
before the board. The dope stor-
les" that have been appearing in
the press stating the amount of
the wage increases that could be
allowed without piercing exist
ing ceilings" have no official basis
and are not to be relied upon.
Must Await Report.
We must wait for the Wage
Sterilization Boards report before
any sound judgment is possible as
to what wage increases are proper
in this case.
After the decision is reached as
to wages, the Office of Price Sta
bilization will be responsible fol
determining whether or not any
wage increase justifies a price in
crease. The law and regulations
assure that the steel companies
will get price increases if they
are entitled to them. No other
advance assurances are necessary
Thus, the machinery we have
provides a reasonable and prac-
ticable method for doing justice
to the parties, for preventing an
inflationary price-wage spiral, ano
for meeting the overriding neces-
sity for keeping steel production
going. This machinery should be
given an opportunity to meet the
present crisis. The national inter.
est demands it.

Nosy Man With Magic Touch sKey Worker in Perfume Firm

LONDON, Dec. % (NANA Kem-
news The nose of Paul john
son, the perfume maker, may lack
a certain dignity in It's funda-
mental structure, but. for all that,
it is valuable beyond estimation.
Its circular, somewhat plastic ap-
pearance is misleading.
If you pass it in the. street with
out second glance. you ignore
the key to one of the most roman
tic trades that man has devised.
At this season, when women's
thoughts turn to scented things,
and Sunday School children ask
the meaning of gold franklin
scense and myrrh." Mr.. Johnson S
nose reaps its profitable harvest.
This alchemist of sophistication
is a perfumer, French-trained,
with one of our leading manufac-
turers. Just brick wall separates
his world of aromatic vapors and
exotic-sounding labels from the
tweedy comforts of winter bound
Buckinghamshire. A dusty window
links the atmosphere of winding
Oriental lanes with the equally
intricate streets of Amersham.
Dispenses Magic at Desk.
Mr.. johnson sits every day at
an Organ" a desk so called be-
cause of it's tierlike arrangement
of shelves on which musical stops
have been replaced by dozens of
small bottles. Wearing the full
length white coat of the labora-
tory. he dispenses his particular
brand of magic.
The most delicate perfume is
compounded of some basic ele-
ments not so delicate. First. there's
ambergris, from the sperm whale
"a gray. rubbery substance with
a smell of musty leather. A piece
of it the size OF baseball costs
SITS. Ambergris is used in floral
perfumes, and, like the other basic
products derived from animals, it
has a special fixing quality.
Then there's Civet, an oil Sc
creted by the Abyssinian wildcat,
whose resinous spray is employed
as a base for exotic scents. 1t
reaches this country as wax con-
tanned in the hollow of a sawed
off oXhorn.

His powder room-no, not the

Fost-Growing Saigon
Hos Budget Problems
BY the Associated Press

SAIGON. Indo- -China.-It's cost
ing lot of money to keep public
order in fast-growing Saigon and
its twin, all-Chinese city OF
Cholon.
The population of the two cities
has shot up to around 2 million
in little more than five years. The
figure was 100000. Tens of thou.
sands have moved into this area
from Tonkin. in the north, where
the Communicated Wet Mini
control big stretches of territory
and from along the eastern sea-
coast of Indo-China.
LIE Tan Nam, prefect of Saigon.

departments operations alone
were absorbing so per cent of the

nlent issued By President Trn-
man last night in referring the
steel dispute to the Wage Sta
bilization Board.
I have today referred to the
Wage Sterilization Board the la
Dor dispute between the United
Steel Workers of America, C1O,
and various companies in the steel
Industry. This dispute has now
arrived at a stage where it gravely
threatens the progress of national
defense.
According to the report of the
director of the Federal Mediation
and Cancellation Service. the
union presented a list of % pro-
posals covering both economic and
non economic matters. No coun-
ter proposals were made by the
leading companies on any of the
economic items. The companies
asserted that any wage increases
in the steel industry would nee
eSsarily require an equivalent in
crease in steel prices. The union
declined to modify its position on
any of the major issues in the
absence of counter proposals from
the companies.
Negotiations between the union
and the steel companies are at an
limpasse, and there appears to be
no hope of settlement through
mediation. Unless some means is
found for breaking this impasse,
IA shutdown of the steel industry
at the end of this month is in
prospect.
Continuous Production Necessary
1t is of the utmost Importance
to prevent an interruption in the
production of steel. Steel is a
key material in our entire defense
effort. Each day of steel produc-
ton lost is a day lost forever in
the achievement of our produc-
tion schedules. Continuous pro-
fduction of this industry is essen
tial in order to meet urgent de-
mands for steel-steel for weap-
ons, for factories. for highways
and hospitals and schools.
1t is for this reason that have
certified this matter to the Wage
Sterilization Board. This will pro-
vide the parties with a forum
where their differences may be re-
solved, and a fair settlement
reached. without resort to a cost
ly shutdown.
Steel is of such basic Importance
to the defense effort. and wages
and prices in the steel industry
have such a profound effect
throughout our economy, that the
public has a very vital interest
in the outcome of this dispute
In order to have proper under.
