gress to seek ratification Of his
action.
But Mr.. Truman never told
Congress about the steel situa-
ton till after he seized the
properties and even then he
didn't ask for a law to justify
that seizure or to take care Of
future seizures.
The Presidents action has be-
gun to arouse the Nation to the
point where demands for i'm
peachment are being made in
an increasing number Of letters
every day to members Of the
House of Representatives. Mr..
Truman sought to minimize the
gravity of his comment to the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors last week when he an
swered a question as to whether
under similar circumstances he
would seize the newspapers and
radio stations. Now Mr.. Tru-
man declares he never had any
such idea. But why is it that 1t
took almost a week to get a
denial from the President as to
the implications of his remarks?
The answer is that Mr.. Truman
now is hearing from the country
and is retracing his steps,
If Mr.. Truman had really
thought about it, he might have
defended his first answer to
the editors a bit by pointing out
that, If atom bombs destroyed
many of our cities, the Govern
ment would undoubtedly take
over radio stations in such an
emergency.
But the obvious attempt of
Mr.. Truman to argue that ma
tional emergency arose just be-
cause he went from the frying
pan into the fire on the steel
dispute means that Mr.. Truman
certainly is badly in need of
sound advice from friends. They
might tell him that the best
Government policy is that which
is fair to all citizens and not just
to members of the CIO.

Perhaps Averell Hartman,

David LoWrence:

It's just about mile between
the White House and Capitol
Hill where Congress meets
and it doesn't take more than a
few minutes for the President to
send q message recommending
what legislation he wants.
Yet Mr.. Truman says he
waited 80 days, for the steel
workers union to hold UP their
strike call and hence. when
they did decide to quit work.
it was too late to use the Taft
Hartley Act. which provides an
80-day wait. He declares also
that there was such a big emer-
gency he had to act even with
out a law. To him it was just
like sending an "ultimatum" to
Stain. It was a great big emer-
gency and there wasn't any
thing else to do, he claims. in
order to keep steel production
going.
Mr.. Truman is right-there
was an emergency. But 1t was
of his own making. 1t was
due to his failure to apply the
provisions of the Taft-Hartley
Act. 1t is true this law doesn't
provide q solution for what may
happen at the end of 80 days,
but any time within that pc
riod Mr.. Truman could have
travelled the mile between Capt.
tol Hill and the White House
or sent up a messenger with a
request that Congress give him
authority to meet such a pro-
Spective emergency.
Mr.. Truman's defense Of his
seizure of the steel plants. as
given to his press conference,
makes a bad situation even
worse. Conceding that he had
no authority under any law and
that he was acting under Gin
herent powers" Of the Consti-
tuition, Mr.. Truman pointed to
international emergencies and
to situations in which other
Presidents like Jefferson and
Tyler and Polk had acted with
out law to annex the Louisiana
Territory, Texas and California.

Vet New York Democratic Leaders Look Upon Hartman
As Man to Hold B1q Block of "a Delegates Intact

Garden brawl. He got abso-
lutely nowhere, except in the
deep and then solid South Of
course, and he was an eloquent
speaker.
Democratic politicians figure,
too, that if Mr.. Hartman were
the nominee, some sharp-witted
Republican phrasemaker would
come up with some appellation
with "Wall Street" in it, though
Mr.. Hartman is too cool and
aloof a gentleman to lend him
self to such a phrase as that
the late Harold Ickes hung on
a Republican Wall Street
wyer-businessman candidate.
Wendell L. Willkie-"the bare
footed boy of Wall Street"
When Mr.. WILKES hair was all
tousled, and his tie awry. which
usually happened when he got
off speech, it was easy to
conjure up in his boyish and
exuberant personality-if you
took off his shoes and put a
fishing pole over his shoulder
the traditional barefoot boy
pushing the mud between his
toes along the banks of the
Wabash far away. Consequent
ly, he lived down the wise
crack in his rough-and-ready
campaign. for he was q warm
and friendly spirit.
The politicians who are shy
of the shy MIR. Hartman may
be all wrong, but they seem
inclined to look upon him as
convenient figure to hold the
New York delegation's big block
of 81 votes intact for the trad
ing at which the New York
Democratic delegation has in
the past been adept, rather than
as a serious candidate in his
own right.
Unless the style in candidates
really has changed while We

Thomas L. Stokes:

These are strange times-but
maybe we can get used to them.
In styles of presidential can
didates, for instance.
Among Republicans. Kansas
offers us a professional military
man in Gen. Eisenhower, the
first general to be a really seri-
Gus candidate since Gen. Leon
ard Wood, who had collected
lots of delegates, but got euchered
out in a deadlock at the 1920
Republican convention that
gave the Nation Warren G.
Harding.
And now, among Democrats,
New York sets before us a multi
millionaire. Averell Hartman
has gone through transforma-
ton familiar often in sons OF
great fortunes. He became a
political progressive and has un-
selflshly devoted a large part
of his later career to public
service, beginning with his ini-
tiation here in the early days OF
the Roosevelt New Deal. Then
he branched out when his talents
were recognized to become an
international figure in various
capacities in the field Of foreign
affairs, topped off now as
Mutual Security. Administrator.
For his country he has per-
formed fine and effective
service.
But, as a politician and .
candidate for President?
In such a role this shy, modest
gentleman-and he is always
the gentleman-doesn't quite
meet the specifications Of hard
boiled and experienced men in
the political craft, nor among
observers of the political scene
who, like the former, do OF
course think in terms OF the
conventional character.
Mr.. Hartman. himself, has
recognized a handicap which
politicians always notice first
of. He is reported to be taking
elocution lessons to get away
from his discontinue on the
platform-the platform being
the politicians primary equip
ment and, II the truth be told,

Doris FIeeson:

Members of Congress, an elec-
tion-year ear cooked to the grass
roots, are wondering If the re-
cent sit-down strikes OF Air
Force pilots have political sig
nif1cance.
If the strikes are strictly q
service problem they are not in
clined to interfere with the Air
Forces handling of them. If it
should appear, however, that the
difficulty goes deeper and 1ndi-
Gates some flaw in the morale
of the American people. some
members will want an investiga-
ton.
AT least one member Of the
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee has put some blunt
questions to Air Force Secretary
Finletter. AS q result Of his own
careful, lawyer-like examina-
ton Of the matter, the Secretary
was able to reply honestly that,
in his Judgment, the problem
was strictly military, did not
indicate any widespread damage
in Air Force morale and had no
general political significance
whatever.
AS proof Of Air Force conf
dence, Mr.. Finletter cited his
recent Air Force policy state
ment declaring that training
leading to a flying rating has
always been and must remain
entirely voluntary" The entire
service, he said. is satisfied that
the country will continue to get
Evening star., 1952-04-25

all the flying officers needed for
its defense.
While no one factor explains
all the particular cases now be-
ing tried and reviewed. Mr..
Finletter said. the main trouble
arose from the necessity of call
ing reserves back to active duty
without their consent. Many
such reserve officers had married,
started in business and had
children. They had served in
World War II for long periods
and taken many combat mis-
sions.
Comparatively few took the
drastic step of refusing further
combat duty but admittedly
there has been considerable
grumbling. True, these men all
signed up for reserve duty when
the war ended: like the rest Of
their ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Cney dld
not, however, envisage the cold
war or the Korean action against
Communist aggression.
Signing up to keep more or
less in trim for another decade
while a new Air Force was in
training seemed like q good idea
at the time. Real combat again
has struck them differently.
Some fear was expressed at
the Pentagon when the sit-down
strikes occurred that the newest
service, relatively young and
slightly arrogant, would. in its
wounded pride, strike out i'm:

Not content with having made mockeryof
true collective bargaining and having brought
about the gravest Constitutional crisis since
the Civil War, the economic unstabilizers:
in Washington are at it again.
A top member of that team, Ellis Arnall-
who is currently sitting in as head of the
Office of Price Stabilization-is trying to make
the American people believe that the price
of steel is the villain of the present dispute.
This is just not true.
1t is a smoke-screen in the political battle
plan of these economic unstabilizers.
Mr.. Arnall went so far as to tell the Labor
Committee of the Senate few days ago that
the steel industry was asking for $12-a-ton
increase in the price of steel which, he said,
would mean $500 in added costs to every
American family each year.
There are two things wrong with what
Mr.. Arnall said.
First, the steel industry has not asked for
price increase of $12 ton. 1t has pointed
out that $12 ton is the aided cost OF DONG
business that would result if the WSB's go
cents-an.hour wage package" were imposed
On the INDUSTRY.
The steel industry has asked the govern
ment for price relief if it is called upon to
bear the added costs of general alwageincre
Second, Mr.. Arnalrs arithmetic is as wrong
as his reasoning.
Seventy-nine million tons of steel were
shipped by the industry in 1891. This nation
has SO million families, according to the last
census. This means that the total consump-
ton of steel in 1951-for defense, construc-
ton, industrial, and domestic use-amounted
to about two tons for each family in the
nation.

quently have indicated our ulti-
mate goal in Europe was the
creation of such a unity.
The whole concept of a Eu-
ropean army, an army in which
nationalities would be merged"
had an eventual union of all
Western nations as it's final
objective. The immediate aim
was to get the Germans and
French - perennial enemies
together militarily. Top-ranking
officers from Gen. Eisenhower
down have declared ceaselessly
that without close cooperation
between Germany and France
the fabric of the NATO will re-
main very thin indeed. Chan
cellor Adenauer did a good job
of selling the idea to an over
whelming number of fellow citi-
Zens. But the intended French
grab of the Saar is likely to
upset the apple cart. The Saar
voted 81 per cent for reunion
with Germany in plebiscite
under the League of Nations
after World War I.
All diplomatic representations
made to the French govern
ments over a period of nearly a
year to change their position
have failed. The possession of

important to the politicians in
Paris than the future of the
NATO.
In spite of his willingness to
help the creation Of a strong
political and military unit to
oppose the U. s. s. r.. Chancellor
Adenauer cannot possibly con.
done the French action. His
prestige among his countrymen
is already on the wane. Many
political opponents describe him
as a stooge Of Germany's former
enemies. He has been able to
survive so far because there are
many Germans who see a better
future for their country II It
joins the free nations. But
neither Adenauer nor any other
German political man could
survive at the helm for even q
few days if he did not resolutely
oppose the rape of the Saar.

Il Demand For Justice From THE U.S. Government

If the entire $12-per-ton cost increase
were fully compensated in the price of steel,
it would mean an added price for all the steel
used in the nation which would total about
$24 family per year.
That's long, long way from Mr.. Arnalps
$500.
The steel industry has consistently taken
the position that the line should be held in
wages and prices. The steel industry has
never tried to break the line.
But Mr.. Arnall's now well-known partner
in economic unstabilization," Nathan Fem
singer,i pressingthe government to break the
line by forcing on the steel industry the big.
gest increase in wage costs it has ever faced.
Those in Washington who want to impose
added costs ON the steel industry for politi-
cal reasons want to push the blame on others.
That's what Mr.. Arnall is trying to do. He
wants the people to believe that the price Of
steel is the bogey-man in the present crisis.
The real villain is the higher cost Of doing
business Washington's economic unstabili-
GERS apparently have decreed that this big
boost in costs is to be forced ON the steel
industry not by law OF by bargaining but by
dictatorial edict of personal and partisan
government.
Mr.. Arnalps smoke-Screen cannot obscure
that fact nor erase one ugly word of it.
