Way Clear 10 Boost
Wages Of 100000
Steel Fabricators
BY the Associated Press

The way was clear today for
quick Government approval Of a
16-cent hourly wage increase for
a half-million workers in plants
which make things out of steel.
Some 650,000 basic steel work.
ers got a similar pay boost-plus
a nickel-an-hour more in fringe
benefits-when the steel strike
was settled July Is.
The Wage Sterilization Board.
by reported 8-to-4 vote, author
lied the new wage rise yesterday.
It told its regional boards to ap-
prove the increase in fabricatine
companies where a historic wage
relationship is shown with basic
steel companies.
This does not mean a 16-cent-
an-hour increase in pay for all
workers in fabricating plants. It
will, however. speed such cases
without referring them to WASH

eating industry. provided unions
and management agree.
Yesterdays board action was
limited to the wage increase it
self. The board advised it's re-
gional Offices to consider fringe
increases. such as extra vacations
or holidays. under a different reg
ulation.
When the steel strike was set
tied July Is. the Office of Defense
Mobilization approved a $500 per
ton increase in the price of car
bon steel. A price. control order,
detailing the ceiling increases for
various types of steel-carbon now
averages about $110-is due for
publication Monday night.

Democrats and Republicans is less
of "You too" and "Me too and
more of good, sound, constructive
government which will take h e
people away from The brink of
moral, social, economic, political
and international chaos.
What it does not need are more
political nostrums, dreamed up by
a bunch of theorists who couldn't

What it does not need also are
more agencies, commissions, and

housekeeping technique.

President T ru m n S jefferson
Day Dinner announcement of the
fact that he will not seek re-elec-
ton will do one thing = if nothing
more. 1t will serve to unshackle a
mum b e r of potential Democratic
candidates and give them an OPP
portunity to get their ducks lined
Up before the National Convention.
The presidents decision will do
something else. 1t will permit him
to leave public office without ex-
periencing the vituperations n d
EHe personal suggests which prom
ise to highlight the coming presi-
dental campaign. At the S m e
tim e, it leaves the Republicans
without a Number One whipping
boy. 1t diffuses the focus.
There are few who doubt the
Presidents personal integrity, his
good intentions, or his personal
loyalties. Their chief cry is that he
is the victim of his personal 10y
alties. Personal loyalties are fine
things. One of the prices man in
high Office pays, however, is the
sacrifice of his personal loyalties.
A man in high Office keeps his per-
sonal loyalties personal and does
not intrude them into the public
domain. A man in high public Office
acts for the general welfare and
not for the welfare of the few who
have call on his personal affections.
In his speech at that S100-a-plate

the President lashed out at the
coming campaign a d predicted
that the Republicans would pull all
bps in making graft and corrup-
Ton charges. The president made

He dredged up the old Teapot
Dome scandals; those of Veterans
Administration, and Muscle Shoals
and pointed out that the Republi.

share of dirty linen. And so they
have.

dirty linen of the Republican Party

fishing a line and holding it despite
inequities. So do a lot of other
people who are not politicians. The
trouble with Mr.. Wilson is, he is
not a politician. He was an Office
boy who grew up to be president
of General Electric, a post he re-
signed to become Defense Mobil-
izer. What Mr.. Wilson should have
realized before he threw in the
towel was that this is an election
year.
A 171a-cent raise for the steel
workers, plus the pay raise re-
quests which are sure to follow
steel, will sound good in November.
A dollar to a doughnut says if the
steel workers get their raise now,
the steel companies will get their
hike in price as soon as the win
ming candidates are under the wire.
What the strike forecasters for
get is this: the current negotiations
represent the first time the unions
have bargained with the steel COM
panies on an industry-wide basis
The threat of STRIFE is not ignored
but it should be remembered that
industry-wide bargaining is a
feather in labor's cap and t h e
Unions will not be too anxious to
see the first broadscale bargaining
with steel end in complete chaos.
AS for Mr.. Wilson, his plan is
to go fishing.

The installed capacity of hydro
electric power plants at Reclamation
constructed dams amounts to about
four million kilowatts, or about one
half of all hydroelectric installations
in the Western States. In addition
to these major benefits, the multiple
purposes of the Bureaus development
program have made possible vast in
creases in the control of floods and
sits, provisions of water for NUM-

possibilities, enhancement of fish and

50TH ANNIVERSARY OF BUREAU OF RECLAMATION
CONNIE MIGRATED WITH SPECIAL POSTAGE STAMP

BILLINGS = A three-cent post
age stamp concentrating the 50th
anniversary of the Bureau of Recla-
nation is now on sale at all post of
fices, according to K. F. Vernon, di-
rector of the Bureaus Region 6.
The stamp shows view of Re-
clamation-built Grand Coulee Dam
and sketches of an irrigation farmer
and power transmission facilities. The
irrigation and hydro-electric power
scenes exemplify the two paramount
purposes of the Bureau.
Mr.. Vernon said that since passage
of the Reclamation Act on June IT,
1902, the bureau has constructed ap-
proximately two hundred dams and
other structures to make possible the
irrigation of six and one-fourth mil
lion acres of land in the II Western
States, with these lands providing an
adequate and stable income for more
than 100000 farm families. Crops
produced on Reclamation-irriga
land since passage of the Reclamation
Act have an aggregate total value of
almost billion dollars.

But what if they did do just
that? What would happen? Would

Would the potential production of
the valley be left to sage brush and

years, building the land, bringing
water to the land, via dams and
bitches, ETC., be written off as a
bounty of grim fate?
This hardly seems possible. Would
MT the government move in, rehabil-

Yesterday we started to talk
about the Bible and wandered off
the deep end into literature.
Proverbs 2O:17 provides a rather
interesting observation: Bread of
deceit is sweet to man; but aft
erwards his mouth shall be filled
with gravel"
If this statement is true, then
lot of good folks in Key West are
nothing more or less than imita-
ton rock crushers because they're
walking around chewing on
mouthful of gravel.
They have been deceived time
and time again - so often as a
matter of fact that they appear to
like it. Maybe the ''bread is
sweet" after all.
We've been listening to election
promises - city, county, state, and
national - for nearly year now.
I'd hesitate to say that the politi-
clans are deceitful. A better word
would be "over-optinistic." The
deceitful person is the one who
fools himself into believing that

- is capable of running any type
