Truman Is
Expected To
Act In Strike
u. y. Steel Head
Maintains Price
Increase Must
Accompany Wage Rise

WASHINGTON iR 49, President
Truman is expected today to reveal
the steps Re will take to try to
avert nationwide steel strike in
volvlng nearly million men.
Federal mediation efforts col
lapSed Friday after both sides had
shown no disposition to bulge an
inch.
Mr. Truman has at least three
courses open. Those close to the
dispute said il was likely he would
turn the case over TO the Wage
Sterilization Board for recommen-
dations. Only nine days remain
before the strike deadline.
1t was considered unlikely that
the board could make its report
on a possible settlement plan by
Jan. l. Its recommendation would
not be binding on either side.
The President also could invoke
the Taft. Hartley Act and probably
get an 80-day strike postponement
through court order. Or he could
seize the mills and technically
make the workers federal employ
eS.
The key role of steel in the mo-
Utilization program gave credence
to reports MIR. Truman would act
promptly.
Government officials, emphasiz-
ing the need for speed. said the
threatened strike actually might
affect production by next Thursday,
Dec. q. because steel mills start
banking their furnaces four days
in advance of a waikout.
The steel industry now is running
at record levels but still it cannot
fill all of its orders from military
and civilian users.
The CIO Steelworkers Union is
demanding an 1872 cents an hour
wage increase and several other
benefits. The present average pay
is just under So. Management con
tends no wage increase is possible
without an increase in the price
Of steel.
President Benjamin (. -Fairlesg
of the U. S. Steel Corp. the in
dustry'S giant, said in statement
u. S. Steel would not seek price
increases If the union would aban-
don its wage hike demand.

sci for the Steelworkers Union

Russia Preparing Return Two U. s. Icebreakers

WASHINGTON, (P) - Russia notified the United States that it is preparing to return two World WAR II lend-lease ice breakers. The US. has been trying for three years to get them back.
 A note delivered at the State Department by Soviet embassy counselor Boris l. Karaey said the two ships will leave an unnamed Soviet port for Bremerhaven, Ger many, this month. The ships are the North Wind and the West Wind.
 The Russians delivered a third wartime lend lease icebreaker, the South Wind, to American au- thorities at YokoSuka, Japan, two years ago. Moscow said the other two have been stuck in the Arc tic ice most of the time since then

 And Resolutions At 82nd Congress

ports. They would direct the Blu reau of Labor Statistics to make periodic studies of Alaskan labor conditions with particular em- phaSis on wages and the cost of living, and would exempt cost-of- living payments from income taxes.
 Five other Bartlett bills have received favorable department re- ports - the customary procedure prior to committee hearings.
 They would make the Univer- Sity of Alaska eligible to receive approximately $1,500 a year un- der the governments program of aid to agricultural colleges; per init the use of volcanic ash or pumicite from Katmai National Monument to make building ma terials; permit Agriculture De- partment loans to fur farmers; in crease from 60 to 80 per cent the amount Of monetary reserves which a national bank in Alaska may deposit in continental United States; repeal a duplicating tax paid by the White Pass Yukon Railway; and permit appointment of territorial district judges for life rather than the present four year term.
 Bartlett had two bills to sus- pend mining assessment work for the duration of the national emer- genCy. Both of these, along with a somewhat similar but shorter suspension proposal passed by the Senate, were pigeonholed in a House subcommittee.
 Hearings were held in several Alaska cities during the present adjournment on his bill setting up procedures to settle native land claims through special Alaska panel within the Indians Claims Commission.
 Another bill - to transfer ad- ministration of salmon and other Alaska fisheries from the Depart ment of Interior to the Territorial Government - has been opposed by the department. It said such action should await passage of statehood legislation.
 Twelve other Bartlett proposals have received no action of any kind.

tAP. Special Washington Servicel By FRANK w. VAILLE


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 19, (P)- Thirty-One bills and resolutions all dealing with Alaska problems were introduced in the first seS- sion of the 82nd Congress by Territorial Delegate E. l.. Bob) Bartlett.
 Only one has become law but three others have passed one house, or in similar form, the Senate.
 Many of the proposals stem from Alaska's territorial status and deal with subjects that nor mally would be handled by state or even municipal governing bodies.
 Bartlett has his own answer to that-a bill proposing statehood for Alaska. It has been given no action in the House, however, where statehood packers prefer to await possible Senate action in January or February. It is there that proponents expect to con- front the major opposition.
 The one Bartlett bill to be- come law this year extended for one year the agreement permit ting Canadian vessels to serve Skagway, Haines an d Hyder, Alaska.
 The House passed his measures to let the Secretary of Interior sell 24 acres of land on the Cinema River to the Panama Valley Sportsmen's Association in Fair banks and to repeal the 1889 Act which opened Alaska's school lands for mining claims.
 His bill to give Alaska's Third Judicial Division another district court judge was incorporated in the omnibus judgeship bill passed by the Senate, and now pending in the House.
 The Senate judiciary commit tee approved a bill, similar to a Bartlett House proposal, to waive the statute of limitations and per init employees of the Alaska Road Commission to sue the United States for unpaid overtime com pensation.
 One of the delegates principal headaches this session resulted from efforts to eliminate the al- lowance given government em- ployes to offset Alaska's high cost of living. One of his three pro- posals on this subject would re- move the present 20 per cent ceiling on such allowances and let them reflect the actual diff ference between living costs in Alaska and continental United States. Bartlett believes for the most part the difference is great CT than that presently allowed. This proposal has gotten nowhere.
 Two others, however, have re- ceived favorable department re-
