President Philip Murray were ready
to strike January when their con-
tract with the big steel producers
expired. However. they declared a
45-day truce, at President Trumans
request, to allow the Wage Stabil-
ization Board time to hear the
issues in dispute and recommend
terms of settlement.
Z That truce expires next Sunday.
The WSB is at least month away
from arriving at a decision. Mr..
Murray convenes his unions Execu-
tive Board in Pittsburgh Thursday
to decide the next step. Despite
the bitterness attending the Wage
Board panel hearings In New York,
it is near-certainty that the steel
workers, having gone this far with
out strike, will extend the truce for
another month or so.

type Of Government--the commission
type which continues today--was set
up in an act Of 1878 This act also
provided for $3.50 sharing Of city
expenses. This was the best deal
Uncle Sam ever gave the taxpayers
of Washington. Development went
ahead until 1921 when the ratio was
changed to 60-40, with the Federal
Government picking up the short
end Of the check.
The Bottom Drops Out
Four years later. with this legis-
latson still on the books. the House
refused to follow 1t and inaugurated
a fiat lump sum payment. This
amount started out at 50 million,
dropped to q low Of S. million for
three years beginning in Iceland

million. 8 per cent Of the budget.
Meanwhile. however, city expenses
have increased two and half times.
It Is interesting to note that not
until 1888 did Congress wipe from.
the law books its own voluntarily as
stunned obligation to pay 40 cents Of
the city'S cost dollar.
While all this was going on, re-
member. the Federal Government was
acquiring more and more land for its
expanding purposes. thus removing
this land from taxation. The Dis
trict boundaries are fixed in the Con-
stitution, and may not be changed
without amendment. The nibbling
away process, therefore. has resulted
in situation in which less than half
the city area now is taxable.
Those hostile to Federal aid for
Washington claimed that residents
here are undertaxed, in comparison

with their counterparts In the States.
They point to the boon of the great
Federal pay roll as stabilizing eco.
nomic influence here.
But comparisons Of actual tax bur.
dens eliminating taxes arising from
bonded debt, which the District is
not permitted to incur do not sup
port the proposition that local In
habitants are undertaxed. Washing
tonians contend the Federal payroll
merely compensates for the taxable
industries other cities have, but
which are not allowed to develop here
because this is the Capital.
A few congressional friends Of
Washington - predominantly in tho
Senate-i1ave tried to help. The late
Senator Overton, Democrat, of LOUISE
ana, fought for many years for ap-
prevail of formula under which

would be related to the tax-free land

sored similar land-based formula
which was supported in the House by
Representative Hebert, Democrat, Of
Louisiana. None of these plans has
succeeded in making Roadway
against Congress unwillingness to
face up to its obligations.
The latest effort to improve the
situation came with recent Senate
consideration Of home rule measure.
A promise In that bill would have set
the Federal payment at 20 per cent
Of annual District revenues. This
provision was stricken from the bill
before the Senate passed 1t.

The country as a whole has been
freer of strikes in the 20 months since
the Reds marched into South Korea
than at any time since World War II.
But the storm clouds are gathering.
The Government has a flock of labor
troubles in its lap and others are on
the way there. In a period of So
called economic control and still easy
money, every one is inclined to duck
the normal responsibilities of collec-
tive bargaining and allow the issues
to reach the final umpire, Uncle Sam.
The labor relations cauldron is
boiling in steel currently the hottest
of all the disputes), in aluminium,
aircraft and railroads. The rail dis
pute has been going on for nearly
three years. In addition, there are
fresher troubles in oil and copper,
each fast reaching the critical stage.
At first glance the issues in most
of these disputes are very complex.
But. as usual, when boiled down
they really add UP to one word
money. Enough OF the "long green"
will smooth most any rough road,
and you can bet that plenty Of it
will be used in the present instances.
All OF this adds up to the fact that
the Government is hard pressed to
hold q semblance Of q line against
imitation and, at the same time,
keep the wheels Of industry rum
ming. It is most improbable the
Government viii be able to attain
both Of these highly important OBJ
jectives. One Of them viii be sac
rificed or compromised. And it Is
q safe bet the anti-infiation line
will be further bent in the interests
of keeping industry. now heavily
loaded with defense work, running.
Thus, we may have labor peace. but
the price win be- higher costs Of
consumer and military goods.
Experts Expect No Strikes
Experts like Cyrus S. Ching. the
top Federal mediator. do not expect
strikes to develop from the major
industry disputes already In the lap
Of the Government. And that goes
even for the big and highly CONS
plicated one In the. steel industry.

posed to close q runway. The regu-

But picking the winner of the Eng

apparently there's room for improve

ported to have narrowed down to q
tWo-man affair. between Canada's
Lester B. Pearson. who Is now chair
man of the NATO Council. and Brit
aims, Sir Oliver Franks. Ambassador
to Washington. ALI members except
Britain are said to favor Paris as
the site to concentrate the various
NATO agencies. The British favor
London. There Is speculation that
a compromise will be made to pick
Paris for the NATO home site and
name Sir Oliver secretary general.

would really send all prices through
the roof. 1t is a rough problem.
All Of the workers involved in the
current disputes are entitled to wage
increases under the Governments
policy of permitting living cost raises.
The question is how much they are
entitled to in straight wage increases
and so-called fringe adjustments.
More Thon They Asked
In the Wright Aeronautical dispute
with the CLIO United Automobile
Workers, wage board panel actually
recommended a wage increase in
excess of the amount the union was
willing to accept last October during
a strike. One justification was that
it was shown, later the cost Of living
had climbed somewhat higher than
was known at the time the union
made the offer.
But quite apart from this fact"

man, the panel chairman, ..it is surely

& The postwar deg. which on Nom

be reversed after the wheels touch

the big DC-6s were being altered
slightly in the wiring Of the REVERSE
BILE pitch propellers. No opinion was
expressed ais to whether the trouble
could be blamed on these devices.
The pitch Of the propellers might
have been changed from normal POI
sition after one or both engines
failed.
In any event the last accident
bore only an Incidental relationship
to those which preceded it. The
three mishaps covered, between them,
most OF the field Of aircraft safety,
and they have opened it up for re-
examination.
But how much Of price Is
the country prepared to pay for

many speed traps for an industry

only on condition that the Allied oc-

Not to be outdone, the French took

is. from the point of view of getting

seemed probable that the French
parliament would ask for guarantees
that Germany would not break away
from the International army, once 1t
was organized, and that Great Brit.
ain would join this army. Since
Britain has consistently refused to
submit to any international control.
