However, in a radio and tele-
vision address at 1890 pm. e.
SD last night, he definitely sided
with Price Stabilizer Arnall in
his opposition to a price increase
for steel to offset a wage boost.
Meanwhile, the Republic Steel
Corp, and the Youngstown Sheet
and Tube Co., quickly petitioned
for court orders to restrain the
government from operating the
steel mills.
The papers were filed in Wash
ington, D. c., with Federal District
Judge Walter M. Bastian, who
said he told the company attorneys
that he would grant them a hear
ing at 11:30 am. (EST) today.
Bastian said the petitions con-
tend that the Presidents action
is illegal.
Clarence B. Randall, President
of the Inland Steel Co., reiterated
that his company would regard
seizure as "confiscation" and
would fight it.
One of the sharpest critics Of
the Presidents order is Ernest T.
Weir, Chairman ofthe Board Of
National Steel Corporation.
If the edict stands, he said,
"Any industry can be seized and
anyone's property can be taken in
the event of a disagreement with
the government"
Weir insisted that invoking the
Taft Hartley law was the illegal"
way for delaying and possibly a.
voiding the strike. The law, he
said, twas enacted by Congress to
cover disputes Of this kind"

Federol Annuitonts

In case Congress needs reminder on
its return after the holidays, am cali
ing attention to the fact that Federal
annuitants are still on the list Of for
gotten ones.
Congress raised the salaries Of all
active Federal employees. Now, would
it not be matter Of justice to make
amends to those neglected by legislat-
ing an increase for all annuitants re-
ceiving less than $4,000, so as to bring
their annuities up to $4,000, and increase
by 5000 those in the higher brackets?
In other words, give the lower paid an
nuitants chance to enjoy at least
little more comfort In their declining
years than they could possibly enjoy
on their present income. Remember,
too, that retired Government employees
with small annuities viii have to pay
even higher income taxes now than
heretofore and they should be exempt
from the payment Of tax.

Two Strikes on Mr.. McGroth

Attorney General Howard McGrath begins
his cleanup" investigation Of. the Government
under handicap that is very real.
The Republicans already are shouting
"whitewash," and while that can be discounted
on partisan grounds, it is talking point that
can be, and probably will be, used with telling
effect.
Much more important, however, is the reac-
ton of the public. This is something that can
not be measured with precision. But there is
no reason to doubt that there is substantial
basis for Senator Nixons contention that "the
public will have no confidence whatever in an
investigation of the Justice Department by the
Justice Department"
1t is up to Mr.. McGrath to recognize that
there is a great deal of truth in what Senator
Nixon says, and to conduct his investigation
accordingly. There is much to be said for the
Presidents conclusion, even though he reached
it belatedly, that an investigation Of this sort
is properly the business of the Attorney General
It follows, however, that for this to be true the
Attorney General himself must be above sus-
picion.
The Star does not believe there is any reason
to question the integrity of Attorney General
McGrath. His handicap arises from the fact
that he indicated a degree of confidence In his
assistant, Mr.. Caudle, that was not justified in
the light of subsequent disclosures, and that the
President. by his handling of the matter, lent
some support to the reports that he had lost
confidence in his Attorney General.
These handicaps are not insurmountable.
But they will plague Mr.. McGrath in the con-
duct of the investigation, and they will be over
come only if the inquiry is conducted in such
q way as to make it evident that the sole OBJ
jective is to run down and punish every one in
the administration who has violated the trust
reposed in him. The Star hopes that this is
exactly the kind of investigation that Mr..
McGrath will conduct.

While serving in the front lines in
Korea during 1851. I was one of many
soldiers informed via radio that the

was going to speak to Congress In re-
gard to paying combat troops $50 for
each month of front line duty.
Upon my return to the zone OF in
terror, I was informed by my dearly be-
loved that the proposal was shunted
aside in order to increase civil service
wages In addition, a CT educational
bill for us police action" troops was
laughed right out of the hallowed con-
gressional halls.
The fact that I'm holding down an
extremely underpaid position in ad-
dition to paying my own way through
school bothers me not. Having spent
considerably more time in Korea than
dear Brother Alben Barkley. the rigors
of civilian life are triding.
But it would be nice if people would
cease to think only of themselves and
perhaps see that the Government hands
us something besides pat on the back
and a bill for back taxes: which
amounted to 500 in my case.

Friendship, of Itself q Holy Tie

It is indeed heartening to man. the more
so in these troubled times, that the soul with
which he has been endowed can raise him in
periods of adversely to courage which is both
comforting to himself and inspiring to his fellows.
In itself, courage is variant thing, most
often manifesting itself under the pressure OF
outward circumstances-th hysteria of battle,
the emotion of tragic happenings or the impulse
of crisis For those who so rise to these COM
pulsions due honor is usually accorded piece
If ribbon to wear on the chest, monetary re-
wards or public acclaim. But for each Of these
there are scores and hundreds whose trial at
life has brought them face to face with Search
ing troubles of a most intimate and personal
nature. To the courageous, and they are legion,
surrender and dependence are unnatural and
unknown words; their instinct is not to ask it Is
rather to give Of that abundance OF quiet bravery
which is born within them and which they are
now privileged to share with the world.
It is perhaps an oversight that more acclaim
Is not paid to them as individuals, but more
often than not that would be their last wish.
Neither do they want sympathy nor least of all,
charity. The pages Of literature are crowded
with words paying tribute to the universally
of this form Of courage, but every now and
again it falls to one of relative obscurity to
bring it all into everyday perspective in few
expressiyely simple words
Such one is "Fats" Henry, who was not,
by any MEANS obscure on the gridiron when he
was an all-time Al-American ut Washington and
jefferson some IS years ago, but who today is
dghting for his life against the diabetes which
already has cost him one leg. Inspired by
friendship rather than depressed by adversely,

The Disarmament Outlook

Although it has been hailed as "the major
achievement" of the sixth session of the United
Nations General Assembly, the disarmament
action in Paris actually does little more than
create a new commission to deal with an old
deadlock. It solves nothing At best, it merely
holds out the hope that modified organizational
approach to the problem may help to promote
at least little progress, toward solution.
Thus, by vote of AZ to S (the Soviet bloc
alone dissenting), the Assembly has decided on
nothing more sensational than to put an end
to the separate endeavors of the Atomic Energy
Commission and the Commission for Conven-
tional Armaments. These two bodies, both Of
them long begged down in hopeless disagree
ment, are now to be dissolved. Henceforth their
work will be carried on by single agency This
new agency-the Disarmament Commission
will be made up Of the Security Councils II
members plus Canada, and it's job will be to
try to work out a universal acceptance of a
one-package, step-by-step plan for the control
and reduction of armed forces and arms OF
every kind, including A-weapons.
The plan-sponsored by France, Britain and
the United States would be put into effect by
stages over q period of years. eliminating in
an ironclad agreement on the atom, it would
establish a vetoless system of regulation under
which the major countries would be subjected
to the StricteSt kind OF continuous policing to
bring about genuine disarmament and guard
against the danger of clandestine violations and
evasions by any power tempted to try sneak
war of aggression. Essentially, it embQdies the
same principles and procedures as those ap-
proved by the overwhelming majority Of the
u. N for international atomic control. In other
words, it embodies exactly what the Soviet Union
has steadfastly and uncompromisingly rejected
ever since the end of the war.
In the circumstances, it would be naive to
expect that the new Disarmament Commission
will be able to get very far very fast with the
one-package Anglo-French-American plan. Un-
fortunately the chances are much better than
even that it will run into practically the same
deadlock as frustrated the Atomic Energy Com
mission and the Commission for Conventional
Armaments. Nothing better than this can be
expected until the men of the Kremlin make up
their minds to open up the Iron Curtain and
accept genuinely effective system of vetoless
control. That will require Soviet reversal that
seems far, far of. Meanwhile, the arms race
will go on, and the free world-for the sake Of
survival-had better do everything possible to
win 1t.

An Unwise Provision

The Commissioners proposed legislation for
standardized public assistance program in
Washington contains an unwiSe provision which
Congress ought to eliminate at the very -eutset.
The bill, as drawn at the District Building and
approved by the White House, would write into
law regulation prohibiting disclosure Of local
relief rolls. The no-publicity provision is in
conflict with trend in the States toward open.
Ing relief rolls to public scrutiny as deterrent
to chiSelers. It runs counter to the sentiment
which Congress expressed in the Jenner amend
ment, which left to the States discretion as to
whether or not to open the records. It excepts
relief rolls from the sound principle that the
public has a right to know how its money is
being spent by public servants.
In sharp contrast to the Commissioners
stand on this question was the recommendation
by Virginia'S Governor Battle. on the same day
as the Commissioners request to Congress. that
the General Assembly in Richmond abolish
secrecy surrounding relief administration in the
State. Disclosure would be subject to safeguards
against use of welfare information for political,
commercial or other improper purposes. The
Governor acted on recommendation Of the State
Welfare Board, which had discovered a number
of fragrant chiseling cases in the State. In near
by Fauquier County ap aroused welfare board
has been conducting salutary cleanup of relief
rolls
District welfare authorities are conducting a
special inquiry to learn why 428 relief checks
were cashed last year in liquor stores. 1t will
take several months to complete the investiga-
ton. Welfare Director Shea says he would like
TO conduct check of the rolls every six months,
but that this is impracticable. Periodic in
vestigations are helpful in ridding the rolls of
tneligibles and cheats but nothing would dis
courage the chiselers as effectively as the pros
pect of public exposure. Lifting of the secrecy
curtain, subject to such restrictions as Governor
Battle proposed, would be in the general public
interest.
