Says Safety Depends on Steel.
The President told the wage
conferees that the safety of our
troops fighting in Korea, and the
safety OF our Nation in the present
world crisis, depend on the unin-
terrupted production of steel"
He pointed out that the "eco-
nomic health of our country and
the welfare of our people" depend
upon. settlement of the steel wage
price dispute within the limits o1
sound stabilization policies.
Mr.. Truman said that for the

Promise of Great Prosperity.
After peace is won, Mr.. Truman
said, there is a promise of eco
nomic prosperity never before
equaled in the world.
Never in the history of the
world has there been an economic
situation that equals it," Mr.
Truman said, "and you gentlemen
cannot afford to upset that stu
alton over a private quarrel be-
tween labor and industry.
Il want you to forget all your
emotions now and sit here and
see what you can do"
MI. Truman told the union and
company officials that "the eyes
of the Nation are upon you as
you meet here in the White House
today"
He added:
This room--the Presidents
cabinet room-is yours for these
meetings. Some great decisions
affecting the welfare of our coun-
try have been made in this room
Your agreement on a settlement
of this dispute would rank with
any of them as contribution to

Steel Production
BY The Assoeiated Press

PITTSBURGH. May 3.-The
vanguard of $4,000 CIO United
SteelworkerS who called off their
three day old strike at the request
of President Truman readied the
mills today for full scale defense
production.
Thousands of men eagerly
awaited return-to-work calls from
the companies as soon as blast
furnaces are able to roar again.
Shutting down and opening steel
mills is an involved process.
Some companies-led by the
United States Steel Corp, which
employs 100000 workers in its
basic steel plants-are demand
ing assurance there will not be
another sudden walkout.
Great Lakes Steel at Detroit is
also demanding union assurance
OF uninterrupted production. It
employs 11,000.
Normal Output Likely in Week.
While some companies expect to
be in full production within 48
hours. others are not calling
maintenance men back until
Monday. 1t probably will be a
week or more before production
is normal.
Clifford F. Hood, executive vice
president Of United States Steel,
said his company is recalling
maintenance workers preparatory
to resumption of operations when
some reasonable assurance of con-
tinuing operations can be had"
Gary Workers Told to Report.
Orval Kincaid, CIO-USW sub
district director at Gary, Ind,
said his members have been in

rows Point, Md. At Buffalo, N. Y,
the company started up the first
of seven blast furnaces last night
but all of its $4,000 workers won't

U.S.-Stored Commodities
Cut by Nearly 500 Million

The Agriculture Department re-
ported today that it got rid of
nearly 500 million worth of Gov
ernment-stored commodities last
month.
Farmers redeemed $51 million
worth of farm products-mostly
wheat-that they had stored un-
der Federal loans.
The department also sold more
than $40 million worth of Gov
ernment-owned commodities, in
cluding corn, wheat, beans, pea
nuts, barley, oats and grain
SorghumS.
This cut the value of Govern
ment-stored products to SIT bill

owns 81 billion worth and has

getting some outstanding Demo-

I told this to Senator Russell when
he called me and suggested I give

Russell's Strength Swells.
The upshot is that a consider
able number of these friends OF
Mr.. Pepper, now entered in the
delegate contests as Russell dele
gates, have helped to swell the
roll of Russell delegate candidates
ito the total of 59-for "a places in

who has only % entered, stands
to win an appreciable number of
Florida delegates in the second
primary, which comes May q, be-
cause of the probable division in
the Russell delegate vote. Nor do
Mr.. Peppers friends show any
signs of Withdrawing, although
efforts are being made to contract
the Russell slate to "a delegate

The Pepper angle in this Ke-
fauver-Russell race for the prefer

assumed further proportions. Mr..
Pepper has confirmed a report
that friends of Senator Smathers,
who defeated Mr.. Pepper in the
1850 senatorial primary last Jan
uary rs, offered to give him Sena-
tor Smathers' support if he, Mr..
Pepper. would enter the race for
Senator this year against Senator

Hollands friends may easily look
askance at his colleague, and while
Senator Russell has nothing to do
with the Florida senatorial con-
flict, any such rift might be harm
full. Mr.. Pepper said that the
offer was made the day before
he announced he would not be a
candidate against Senator Hol-
land.
Never Replied to Offer.
Mr.. Pepper said he had never
replied to the Smathers offer
which he said was made through
Richard G. Danner, Senator
ISmathers' campaign manager in
1850. ...
"Smathers having stabbed me
in the back" said Mr.. Pepper, 81

Senator Smathers was quick tt
deny the story he had offered tc
support Mr.. Pepper in a race

on the part of Mr.. Pepper to dis

delegation in its unanimous sup

Isel's suggestion of a threatened
strike. The union itself has filed
Ia brief and does not even init
mate that it would call a strike
if a stay were conditioned as the
companies request"
Disputes Union Stand.
The memorandum disputed the
unions contention that any such
ban on wage increases pending q
final court decision would prevent
the union and management from
bargaining collectively.
"This extraordinary statement
lis altogether without foundation, .
the memorandum declared. 1.-The
executive order does not affect
the right of the employees to bar
gain with the steel companies.
The industry'S memorandum
said it agreed with the Justice
Department that Judge Pines de-
cision should be reviewed by the
Supreme Court, although the in
dustry fully and completely
agrees with Judge Pine.
But the companies object most
vigorously to the course of action
proposed on behalf of Secretary
Sawyer" the memorandum added
Attorneys speculated on the
effect that a settlement of the
labor dispute itself might have on
the court proceedings. They saw
a possibility that a settlement
within the next few days might
make the case moot so far as
Supreme Court action was con-
Icerned.
Would Hear Arguments.
If the high court agreed to re-
view the appeal from Judge Pines
decision it presumably would hear
arguments. The steel companies,
lin their petition filed yesterday
morning, asked that oral argu-
|ments be set down for the latter
part of next week.
If the Supreme Court turned
down the requests for review the
matter would 60 back to the

The Appeals Court did not di-

Pines decision last Wednesday
when it stayed the effectiveness OF
that order pending the outcome
of court proceedings. Nor did il
rule on the merits of the case
when last Thursday it refused tc
bar the Government from raising
wages or changing working con-
ditions in the steel industry during

Truman Critics Present.
There were some of Mr.. Tru-
mans severest critics among the
industry executives at the meet
ing. Mr.. Randall has charged
that the Presidents April 8 seizure
of the steel mills was part of a
corrupt political deal" with MI.
Murray.
Mr.. Murray yesterday called off
at the Presidents request the
three-day-old Nationwide strike
against the steel industry. The
strike was called after District
Court Judge David A. Pine ruled
the steel seizure was unconstitu-
tional.
Mr.. Truman has sided with the
union, the CIO United Steel
workers. in the dispute. He has
accused the industry of being
reckless"
One thing was certain. It was
that the industry will not accept
the Wage Board wage proposals
without price increase substan-
TALLY higher than the So per ton
the Government has assured.
White house officials were silent
on the price angle of today's talks.
But there were indications the
companies will be offered more
than So. 1t may go as high as
SIS a ton or even $3.50. The latter
figure was believed acceptable to
the steel companies.
But even if the money matter
is settled satisfactorily the union
shop still could bar a settlement.
The industry now is not so much
opposed to the principle of the
union shop. But it is unalterably
opposed to having the Govern
ment force it upon them.
Optimism Prevails.
Some officials, especially those
close to Secretary Sawyer, we're
rather highly optimistic that an
industry-union settlement could
be achieved.
Mr.. Sawyer has said the Gov
ernment may grant a steel price
increase of $3.50 ton or more to
offset a pay increase. He stressed
there is a great deal of elasticity"
on the price question.
On the other hand. Price Sta
bilizer Ellis Arnall has steadfastly
stuck to So as the top allowable
price boost, and indicated he may
quit if overruled. He says that is
all the industry has coming under
price stabilization rules and any,
thing higher would spur imitation.
