Steel Union Calls Pay Raise
Al AIcoa Desperate Need
BY The Assoeiated Press

The CIO SteelWorkers' Union
told a special panel of the Wage
Sterilization Board today some
10000 workers at 10 Aluminium
Company of America plants "des-
Iperately need" a wage increase
and that the Company is well able
to pay for a raise.
Vice President James G.
Thimmes made the opening union
statement to the six-man panel
headed by Sol Wallen. The panel
is acting as an arm of the 18-man
Wage Board to hear all arguments
in the dispute and then report to
the board.
Altogether, there are three sepa-
rate aluminium disputes. Today'S
proceeding is concerned only with
the steelworkers and Alcoa.
The other two involve 5000 CIO
unioniSts who work for Kaiser
Aluminium and some 10000 mem
berS of the AFL's Aluminium
Council of America who are EN-.
ployed in six Alcoa plants.
Union demands closely parallel
those Of 650,000 CIO unionists in
their dispute with the Nations
basic steel industry. These in
clude an 181a-cent-an-hour wage
increase, a guaranteed annual
wage and a union shop provision.
Alcoa said in a statement yes
terday its wage rates are "the
going rates or better" for similar
jobs in comparable industries.

U. 5. Lifts Restrictions
AS Lead Supply Improves

The Government today removed
restrictions on the use of pig lead
because Of the improved supply
In announcing the action the
National Production Authority
said, however, it is retaining the
system of allocating the metal for
use is civilian goods. But alloca-
tionS will be on a liberal scale and
will be on three-month basis.
Erwin Vogelsang. head of the
Tin, Lead and Zinc Division of
NPA, said indications are that
the domestic lead supply in the
next few months will be enough
Ito meet not only defense require
ments but also normal needs of
civilian production. He said it is
also indicated that 1852 imports
of the metal will exceed those of
last year.
While controls on the use of
pig lead were removed by today's
action, inventory controls are re-
tanned. But instead of inventories
being limited to a 30-day supply,
Ia 60-day supply will be permitted.

tary Of Interior for Administra-
ton confirms the previous rulings.
Many Federal officials believe
that it was the intent of Congress
in creating these positions several
years ago to have them under
the career service. The incum-
bentS in all three positions are
career men who were promoted
to these jobs. However, the Con-
troller General feels that the
language of the law creating these
positions is not clear enough on
the matter.
There is a move developing in
the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee to rewrite the law in order
to place these career under
secretaryships under the Classifl-
cation Act.

TREASURY POST OFFICE
The House Appropriations Com
mittee in reporting the first 1853
money bill of the year the other
day was a little bit more liberal
than had been expected. The
Treasury-Post Office bill as re-
ported by the committee would
require no personnel cuts. In fact,
the Post Office could hire about
$4,000 additional employees in the
field.
And Internal Revenue. although
it did not get the additional 7,400
Jobs it asked for, was voted enough
money to hire 700 additional
agents. "
The big test for most 1853
money bills, however, will come
on the House floor when Republi-
cans will seek to force at least a
cut of 10 per cent below the figures
voted by the House Appropriations
Committee.
ENGRAVING AND PRINTING
In reporting the Treasury-Post
EOfice bill, the House Appropria-
Itions Committee criticized the rate
of production per employe among
plate printers in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing.
The committee said it wondered
whether the printers have volun-
tarily set a limit by agreement
among themselves"

Welfare Official Asks
For Details on Plan 10
PubIicize Relief Rolls

A member of the District Board
of Public Welfare last night called
for an explanation from advocates
of open relief rolls here as to how
they intended the rolls should be
made public.
The legislative provision which
had been drawn up by the Com
miSSioners. she noted, would re-
quire safeguards to be set up by
the board to prevent indiscrimi-
nate use of open public assistance
records.
In round table discussion of
the subject last night over Radio
Station WWDC. Mrs. Theodore
Wedel pointed out that the board
has always adhered to the policy
lpf Keeping relief records from
public view.
Fears Higher Costs.
II the records were not to be
published in the newspapers and
people could not look at case
records, she said, she. would like
to Know what form the publicity
would take.
If the board were to hire enough
help to type the lists of some 10 900
names and place them on record
someplace, the welfare costs would
be increased, she declared.
The Commissioners later changed
their plan to submit the proposed
amendment to replace the secrecy
clause in the public assistance bill
pending in Congress. This was in
view Of President Truman's opposi-
ton to public disclosure of the
rolls, and was described as a
"formality."
Two Oppose Secrecy.
DR.. j. Ross Veal, president of
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations, repeated that groups
stand against secrecy of the rolls,
and Mrs. Ernest w. Howard of the
Federation of Women's Clubs
also spoke in favor of open rolls.
Attorney Philip Austin spoke
against open relief rolls. Attorney
Edmund L. Browning, jr., was
moderator for the progam, spon-
sored by the junior bar section of
the District Bar Association.

Conna||y Tells France
Further Aid Depends
On Her Arms Effort
By J. A. O'Leory

Chairman Connally of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
served notice on France today she
cannot expect continued aid from
the United States unless she does
her share in mutual defense plans.
His strongly worded statement
came after the Committee had
been in closed session for two hours
with Secretary of State Acheson
reviewing the decisions made at
the recent Lisbon NATO confer
ence.
Senator Connally told reporters
his statement was prompted by the
current cabinet crisis in France.
The cabinet of Premier Faure fell
last week over the issue of a Is
per cent tax increase to meet
Frances share of the new NATO
army buildup.
Efforts End in Failure.
Over the week end all efforts
to form a new cabinet have failed.
Calling reporters into his office
after the closed session, Chairman
Connally said:
If France does not do her ut
most in her own defense, she can
not justify large appropriations
from the United States for both
economic and military aid.
France must be told that she
cannot rely on the United States
to defend her and to hand out
large sums to. aid her. from an
economc standpoint. France must
do her duty"
AchesOn Reported Optimistic.
Earlier, Senator Sparkman,
Democrat. Of Alabama, said Mr..
Acheson was Optimistic" in his
references to the French situation
this morning.
The Senator said the Secretary
pointed out that the French had
approved the new military budget,
and that the break came on the
question of how to raise the addi-
tional revenue.
Senator Sparkman said Mr..
Acheson had no misgivingS that
France will find a way to finance
the program.
Frances share of American aid
for the year ending June 80 was
set at $500 million.
Senator Ferguson. Republican,
Of Michigan, an Appropriations
Committee member, told a re-
porter he thinks it unfair to
ask the American taxpayers to
assume the lions share of the
international defense costs"
There is strong evidence that
the French people and British
corporations are not being taxed
as highly as are Americans in
this program" he said.
With the unexpended balances
Congress already has made avail
able. the foreign military aid fund
should be cut considerably and
1t should be placed solely on the
basis of common Defense" he de-
clared.
Senator Douglas, Democrat, of
Illinois, one Of the Senate's chief
economy advocates. said in a sep
arate interview he favors a cut
of SIS billion in the Presidents
proposed budget outlay of sos
billion for all forms of foreign
aid.

The Big PoyoH

Thus, on Labor Day-traditional
starting time for the big quad
rennial race-it was Ike VS.. Adlai.
The former was an unknown guam
tity politically; the latter, unknown
personally. Cautiously they set out
to sell themselves to the voters.
AS the campaigns pace acceler-
ated, its bitterness grew. BY mid
October there was ground to wonder
who was running for President and
on what kind of a nefariouS ticket.
Each side claimed that the other
sides man was captive-Ike, of
the interests and Bob Taft; Adlai,
of the labor unions and Harry
Truman.
It finally got to the point where
the politicians were, in effect, call
ing each other crooks. Everybody
seemed prepared to believe almost
anything about almost any one. The
Republicans had to spend $4,000
on air time so Dick Nixon could
explain away only one-fourth that
amount-$18,00O he had received
from well-wishers to help him de-
fray the cost of being a Senator.
At length, each of the four candi-
dates Eisenhower, Stevenson,
Nixon and Sparkman-made some
sort of financial accounting de-
signed to show that he was fit to
hold high elective Office.
And all the while a monumental
"get-out- the-vote" campaign was
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-12-28

under way. Americans were told
time and again of their sorry rec
ord as working citizens of great
democracy. The press, the radio
and television kept urging that,
come election day, each American
use the ballot the Republic had
thrust into his hands.
The message stuck. On November
4, Americans turned out as they
never had before. They chose Eli
senhower overwhelmingly - 422
electoral votes to 80 for Stevenson.
The New Deal, born in depression
and matured in war, came to an
end. A national Republican Party,
which was only legend out of the
past to millions of voters, returned
to power behind Dwight Eisenhower
after 20 lean and hungry years.
