Tunnel on Moon Seen;
Spot Is Ideal Retreat
For Rocket Explorers
By Alton / .BIokesIee
Assoeioted Press Seiencs Reporter


NEW YORK, May 28.-There
seems to be a tunnel on the moon.
This tunnel has CLASSY walls
and is several miles long. It
would make a fine shelter for
rocket explorers Of the moon.
The evidence for the tunnel
discovery is repored today by H.
H. Nininger, director of the Amer
lean Meteorite Museum, Winslow,
Ariz., in Sky and Telescope, q
leading journal on astronomy.
The tunnel was made. not by
moon men, but by q meteor or
shooting star. Mr.. Nininger sug-
gests.
The meteor travelling 20 to 80
miles a second came sweeping low,
across the moons face and bored
clear through q mountainous
ridge several thousand feet high.
It left craters on each side and
presumably a wide. glassy-walled
corridor through the ridge, con-
Meeting the two craters. The glaze
came from thick moon dust- or
rubble that was melted and cooled
to form a glazed cylinder by the
passage of the meteor.
The tunnel, if such 1t Is. lies on
the western part of the moon. in
mare (sea) foecunditatis. Mr..
proposes it is there after
studying two peculiar craters.1
named Messier and w. H. Picker
ing, which lie close together in
this basin or sea. The craters are
visible with strong telescopes.
Messier crater is on the west,
and Pickering on the east Of what
seems to be a mountainous ridge,
IS to 20 miles wide at that point.
The shape and lips Of the crat-
ers suggest the meteor rammed
mot the upper part of mountain
ridge, coming from the west, Mr..
Nininger writes.

full Of being seized. He said "they

Mr.. Randall fatty denied the
producers had demanded $12-
per-ton increase in steel prices.
He said the figure was their esti-
mate of the cost of the Govern
ment's new contract proposals.
Mr.. Randall commented on the
Presidents statement that with
the pay increases proposed by the
Government, the steelworkers
would merely catch up with raises
received by workers in other in
dustries. He said that as of last
January the steelworkers in pay
were Is per cent ahead of all
workers engaged in manufacturing.

| Bethlehem Steel Saws
lis Earning Rate Is Off
|BPct. From Year Aqo|
BY The Asseeiotsd Press

NEW YORK. April 25.-The
first major steel producer to re-
port earnings for the first three
months Of 1852 has listed a drop
of Is per cent from the like period
a year ago.
Bethlehem Steel Corp, second
biggest in the industry. reported
its net income was $18,926, ,O45, or
$1.80 common share, for three
months ended March 81, against
$25, ,O66,2 ,205, or $2.45 a share, in
the same period a year ago.
E. G.. Grace, chairman, pointed
out this occurred despite record
production, shipments and bill
ings.
He said the income represented
a return of 4 per cent, lowest rate
since 1945. on billings of $466 ,371,- :
498, compared with a So per cent
return during all of 1851.
At news conference, Mr.. Grace
discussed the wage-price dispute
raging in the steel industry which
the Government seized April / to
avert a strike and charged that
administration support for wage
increases was designed to promote
further imitation.
There is mo other sound reason"
for the Governments course in
the dispute. Mr.. Grace said, as
serting his firm belief that infla-
Ition has been the bloodstream of
Federal administrations for the
past 20 years."
This can only lead, he said, to
socialization and naturalization,
and in the seizure of the steel
industry I'VE have taken the first
big step to NATURALIZATION"

this emergency without having
stabilized wages. His formula, as
we described it, was aimed at cut
ting down profits"
However, he said, the Truman
formula carried through to its
inevitable conclusion, not only
would cut down profits-eventual-
ly, it would cut them out entirely
He added:
II don't know Of any surer way
to cripple the American economy
than to limit too narrowly the pos
sibility of profits"

Truman Has Killed
Collective Bargaining,
Randall Charges

| A top steel official said today
that President Truman had de-
stroyed collective bargaining by
selling the steel industry and has
made himself the ultimate arbi-
traitor of every labor dispute in
the country"
| The charges were made by
Clarence B. Randall, president OF
Inland Steel Co. He spoke at a
National Press Club luncheon. It
was Mr.. Randall who two weeks
ago told Nation wide television
audience the President seized the
mills in corrupt" political deal
with CIO President Philip Murray
Mr.. Randall said, II retract no
single word" of the bitter charges
he had leveled against Mr.. Tru-
man. He said the evidence has
been Overwhelming that the
American people agreed with what
I said -
Continues ideals" DESTROYED.
BY taking over the steel prop
critics Illegally" Mr.. Randall con-
tinued, the President destroyed
the values" and ideals" for
which the country fought in the
Civil War and both World Wars.
He said the action was taken
SOLELY upon the Presidents own
naked pronouncement that he
(under the Constitution) possesses
the power
r. Il submit that no thoughtful
American can accept that doctrine
with calm" Mr.. Randall added.
For if this can happen to
stockholders of steel companies,
then whatever it is that other citi-
|zens consider important in their
lives can likewise be taken away
from them, without warning and
without redress. if the President is
himself the source of his own
power
FOresees Future Trouble.
AS for the effect of the seizure,
Mr.. Randall asked, How can COL
lective bargaining in an industry
like steel ever again proceed in a
normal manner?
"The union, with nothing to lose,
will always refuse management's
final and best offer, gambling on
the chance that strike at that
point will force seizure and create
new pressure on management.
conversely management will
hesitate to make Offers" Mr.. Ran
dali continued. feeling that they
will merely become the trading
base upon which Government will
build new proposals under threat
of seizure"

FBarkIey Is Hesitant
But Willing 10 Run,
His Friends Report
By Morvin l. Arrowsmith
Associated Press Stoff Writer

Friends of Vice President Bark
ley said today they believe he is
in a receptive mood about the
Democratic presidential nomina-
tion-but hesitant to bid for it
now.
These friends told a reporter
privately they have some doubt
Mr.. Barkley will get into the race
on his own initiative. although he
is being urged to do so and is
studying the proposals.
Nor do they rule out the posi-
bility he might decide to follow
President Truman's lead and bow
out of the picture. But these as
sociates who have been talking
to the Vice President say such a
move would surprise them very
much.
Say He'd Rather Not Campaign.
! Mr.. Barkley repeatedly has told
them he would like to head the
Democratic ticket but is giving 9
lot of thought to whether he, as
Vice President, should get into
the open scramble for convention
delegates. ......
He is said to have made it clear
he would much prefer to make
no active campaign for the NOM
nation, even though realizing on
the basis of years in politics that
the plums almost never go to
those who wait for them to drop
from the trees. -
For that reason, some Barkley
supporters are urging the 74-year-
old Kentuckian to get into the
race now in competition with the
three active candidates-Senators
Kefauver Of Tennessee, Russell of
Georgia and Kerr of Oklahoma.
Proud of His Years.
Mr.. Barkley has remained
publicly silent beyond promising
to give serious consideration to
requests that he run. A vigorous
campaigner who sets a lively pace,
the Vice President has indicated
his age won't be a factor in
reaching a decision. He says iie
lis proud Of his years and feels in
fighting trim.
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa said he hopes Mr.. Barkley
will give his supporters a green
light to go to work for him" even
lii he decides against making a
personal campaign for the nomi-
nation.
The 1owan, a leader of the
Barkley- for President movement
said there has been a great de-
mand from all over the country
for the Vice President to become
a candidate.

Over ConnoIIy's Plan to Retire

| Senator Connally earlier In the
year.
Although the Connally with
drawal may attract some other
candidates, Mr.. Daniel is off to a
fast start and probably would be
hard to overtake.
Gov. Shivers and Mr.. Daniel
have been hostile to the Truman
administration, and recently Sen
ator Connally and the Attorney
General exchanged heated COM
ments, mostly over the tidelands
oil issue.
Last of COlorful Type.
Senator Connally's retirement
will take from Capitol Hill one
of the last of a vanishing type
of lawmaker who looked and acted
like the popular conception Of a
Senator.
One Of the sharpest debaters in
the Senate, he always delighted
the galleries with his gestures as
we'll as the verbal darts he fired
at opponents.
Senator Connally served in the
House for IL years before his elec-
tion to the Senate % years ago.
AS chairman Of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee he has played
an important role in drafting leg
islation on American foreign pol
icy during the last decade. His
service as chairman was broken
briefly while the Republicans con-
trolled Congress during 1947 and

years, but in recent months has

coming primaries.
After insisting that he has al
ways voted his own convictions,
he said, Il will not engage in a

paign in order to continue to
carry this burden. The Senator
