Miller Charge
On Steel Plant
Says He Did All Thot
Could Be Done to Get
Mill for Virginia
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, June 4.-Senator
Byrd has denied a charge by his
Democratic opponent, Francis
Pickens Miller. that he did moth
ing to try to win a new steel plant
for Virginia.
Senator Byrd said last night he
"did all that could be done" in the
matter. He told a meeting of the
University of Virginia Alumni As
ISOLATION of Richmond that he
had frequent conferences with
State officials and others with re-
Spect to securing steel plant in
Virginia.
The plant was eventually award
ed to Pennsylvania by United
States Steel.
Mr.. Miller, meanwhile, hurled
Ia new charge at Senator Byrd
that the Senator has failed to
support the cause of Virginia to-
bacco farmers.
Byrd Stand Hit.
Ina statement released at his
Richmond campaign headquarters,
the ex-colonel from Albemarle
County said Senator Byrd opposed
legislation beneficial to leaf grow
ers-the AAA quota program in
1887 and the Marshall Plan in
1913.
Mr.. Miller also charged the
Senator with failing to exert him
self in behalf of Virginia's dark
fired tobacco growers who lost a
portion of their allotment in re-
cent years.
Senator Byrd was introduced
to the alumni session by Gov. Bat
tie, who predicted Virginia voters
are "going to express their con-
f1dence in the job he's doing"
The Senator said:
I'm an effort to make it appear
that I am delinquent in my duties
as a Senator, my opponent is in
dulging in fantastic statements
which are approaching the point
of hysteria. =.
"The fantastic part of this
charge is that the steel plant was
to be established by the United
States Steel Co., which certainly
has no love for Mr.. Truman"

Mr.. Miller also announced the
appointment Of Frank Carter

Harrison. jr.. Mr.. Byrd's State
campaign manager, teed off on a
previous Miller statement, criticiz-
ing Senator Byrd for his tobacco

E. Stands, who also had agreed
with Mr.. Buckley, yesterday
agreed to the combination school,

agreed that a new elementary
school will be built near Mt.
Pleasant when conditions justify
it.
School Board Chairman Fred

And we've had great opportun-
ity to talk over all Of these mat
ters. We talked with Gen. Clark,
with Gen. Van Fleet. with

all of the others. Everyone of
us thinks we have learned
something to make this expedi-
ton a sort of starting place
from where we are going to
plan the programs we are 60
ing to adopt. And we expect
them to be positive programs.
Because you know, my friends,
Just because one side wants
peace doesn't make peace. We
must 60 ahead and do things
that induce the others to want
peace also.
I am not going to talk at any
length now. I did do this: Be-
fore left Hawaii yesterday we
prepared a statement and that
statement will be handed out
to the newspapers, to the press
and to any others interested in
it. And in the meantime, it's
awfully good to be back. And

go home and see my family.

$4,000 Wage Boosts
Awaiting Approval
Of Four-Man WSB
By the Associated Press

gram back into action today To

ployers with 10000 wage boosts

Administration of the entire
pay controls setup was changed
over the week end. when Presi-
dent Truman, despairing of get
ting industry men back into serv-
ice on the Wage Sterilization
Board. turned the problem over
to Economic Stabilizer Roger L.
Putnam.
Mr.. Putnam. whose own resig-
nation will take him out of Gov
ernment in a few days, turned the
situation over to Chairman
Charles c. Killingsworth and
three other public members of the
WSB. They were empowered to-
carry on wage controls.
Instead of the WSB with equal
numbers of members representing
the public, industry and labor Mr..
KillingSworth and his three pub
lie members are to administer
wage controls. They asked the
labor members to stano by for
"advice" in handling future cases
Mr.. Killingsworth seemed likely
to tackle a backlog of 10000
pending union-employer agree
ments by giving broader delga-
tions of power to the WSB's staff
Well over a million workers are
believed to be involved in the
cases.
Both Mr.. Truman and MIR.
Putnam have assured CIO Presi-
dent Walter Reuther they will
help speed action on the pending
cases. Mr.. Reuther has suggested
broader policy authorizations to
the WSB's staff on wages. fringel
benefits and severance pay pro-
visions as steps to help clear
away the backlog. These mat
tiers in the past have required
full board action.

The First Article of the Bill

There are some among us who
seem to feel that this provision
goes too far, even for the pur-
pose Of preventing tyranny over
the mind of man. OF course,
there are dangers in religious
freedom and freedom of opinion.
But to deny these rights is worse
than dangerous, it is absolutely
fatal to liberty. The external
threat to liberty should not drive
us into suppressing liberty at
home. Those who want the Gov

ment issued to neWSn1en by
President-elect Dwight D. Els
enhoUer yesterday on his return
from Korea:
You all know the simple pur-
pose of my journey to Korea:
To look, to listen. and to learn
so that the experience and
knowledge of the United Ma
tions soldiers on the scene
might be my future guide in
these matters.
All of us have long realized
that there can be no simple
formula for bringing a swift.
victorious end to this war. But
at the very least that knowledge
prepares us for whatever tough
tasks lie ahead. Such spiritual
preparedness, in our embattled
world, is as necessary as physi-
cal armament. A free citizenry
expecting it's soldiers honorably
to face the enemy, must itself,
honestly face reality.
I return, however. with re-
newed confidence that salts

be speeded. I know that it will
demand common-sense and care,
much foresight and much pa
tience. But no more in Korea
than anywhere else in the world

power of free men to achieve
when they pursue it intelligently
and energetically.

Building today:
We are assembled here on this
Bill of Rights Day to do honor
to the three great documents
which, together. constitute the
charter of our form of Govern
ment.
The Declaration of Independ-
ence, the Constitution, and the
Bill of Rights are now assembled
in one place for display and
Safekeeping. Here, so far as Is
humanity possible, they will be
protected from disaster and
from the ravages of time.
am glad that the Bill of
Rights is at last to be exhibited
side by side with the Constitu-
ton. These two original docu-
ments have been separated far
too long. In my opinion, the Bill
of Rights is the most important
part of the Constitution.
We venerate these documents
not because they are old, not be-
cause they are valuable histor-
ical relics. but because they still
have meaning for us. It is 161
years today since the Bill of
Rights was ratified. But 1t is
still pointing the way to greater
freedom and greater opportun-
tiles for human happiness. So
long as we govern our Nation by
' the letter and the spirit of the
Bill of Rights, we can be sure
that our Nation will grow in
strength and wisdom and free
dom.
Every one who holds Office in
the Federal Government or in
the government of one of our
States takes an oath to support
the Constitution of the United
States. I have taken such an
oath many times, including two
times when I took the special
oath required of the President
of the United States.
This oath we take has a deep
significance. It's simple words
compress a lot of our history
and a lot of our philosophy of
government into one small
space. In many countries, men
swear to be loyal to their king,
or to their nation. Here we
promise to uphold and defend a
document.
This is because the docu-
ment sets forth our ideas of
government. And beyond this,
with the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, it expresses our idea

Only Few Observations
At This Moment

AS for the future, I can give
at this moment only a few OBJ
servations:
First: The training of ROK
forces can and should be ex-
panded and speeded. This is
my opinion and the unanimous
opinion of the commanders on
the scene.
Second: In the strictly mill
tary sphere. certain problems
Of supply have reached rather
serious proportions and require
only correction.
Finally, we must all recog-
nize-in all our thinking and
our planning-that the Korean
war is but the most dramatic
and most painful phase, for us
at this moment, of our world
wide struggle against Commu-
mist aggression.
This journey marks not the
end but the beginning of a new
effort to conclude honorably
this phase of the global struggle.
This is not the moment to
state more than that resolve.
For we face an enemy whom
we cannot hope to impress by
words, however eloquent, but
only by deeds-executed under
circumstances of our own choos-
ing.
I hope and believe that our
fighting men in Korea shall
never harbor the thought that
they might be fighting a for
gotten war.
I believe that the architects of
aggression can be made to
realize that it would be fateful
folly to ignite other conflagra-
tions like the Korean conflict
elsewhere in the world.
I believe that if we think
clearly enough, plan carefully
enough, and work tirelessly
enough, we can both save free
dom and secure peace.
