Steel Issue SmoIders
After Sawyers' Threat
To Increase Wages
By james Y. Newton

The steel contract controversy
smoldered today after the Govern
ment's threat to raise the pay Of
$4,000 CLIO United SteelworkerS
early next week.
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer.
boss of the seized steel mills, de-
livered the ultimatum that unless
the private producers reached
agreement with the CLIO he would
act on Monday or Tuesday" to
impose higher wage rates.
The threat accomplished little
by way of bringing the disputants
closer together on terms of a new
contract. It did have the effect Of
preparing the industry for court
action as soon as the administra-
ton moves to raise wages.
Industry lawyers had papers
drafted and were ready to apply
for a restraining order designed to
thwart the Government.
The union, headed by CLIO
President Philip Murray. held
firm to its position that it would
accept no less than the Federal
Wage Sterilization Board has
proposed in settlement of the dis
pute.
These proposals call for a three
inStallment wage increase of TIA
cents an hour. an additional 8l2
cents per hour in so-called
fringe" benefits. and the highly
controversial union shop.
When he acts. Mr.. Sawyer pre-
sumably would impose the 1212-
cents-per-hou first installment Of
the recommended pay increase.
plus about cents in fringe"
benefits which the wage board
said the workers should have at
this time.
Union Shop Move Unlikely.
1t was regarded as highly I'M
likely that Mr.. Sawyer under
Government operation would i'm
pose the union shop which has
been a major stumbling block to
agreement on a contract. The
union shop compels all employees
to join the union.
The producers also were hold
ing firmly to their position that
the Wage Boards proposals would
necessitate a substantial increase
in the price of steel. The Gov
eminent says they are entitled to
boost prices only about SO per
ton, and that to compensate them
for past cost increases.
The heads of the major steel
companies and Mr.. Murray left
the city to spend the week end at
their homes. Little or no action
was expected before next week.
Mr.. Sawyer. in delivering his
ultimatum. revealed that he had
tried unsuccessfully to revive
negotiations between the union
and producers. He held hope new
conferences may yet be held.

Byrnes Denies Rebuke
By President After
1945 Moscow Party
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 19.-James
F. Byrnes denied yesterday an
assertion by Senator Anderson,
Democrat, of New Mexico that
President Truman rebuked him
(Byrnes) shortly after the 1945
Moscow Conference.
Senator Anderson, former Agri-
culture Secretary. said here
Thursday that President Truman
delivered "a very stiff curtain
lecture" to Mr.. Byrnes, then Sec
rotary of State.
Speaking on television pro-
gram, Senator Anderson said:
Il know of my own knowledge
that Harry Truman was down at
Quantico on his boat (the Will
liamsburg) and he had to send
for the Secretary of State and
say, Look, I make the foreign
policy of this country. You can't
Igo on a Nationwide broadcast
and announce what is going to
happen until you have cleared
with me. You may be a member
of the cabinet. but am the head
of the Government"
Senator Anderson said Mr.. Tru-
man had been shocked to find
out that Jimmy Byrnes was going
on the air with a complete report
to the American people without
ever once reporting to the Presi-
dent of the United States"
But Mr.. Byrnes. now Governor
|of South Carolina, commented in
Columbia on Senator Anderson's
remarks:
Mr.. Anderson was not even on
the Williamsburg when I talked
with the President.
documentary evidence in my
possession and referred to in the
Golfers article show the absurd
ity OF his statements.
Mr.. Byrnes has denied in an
article in Golfers magazine that
he got a personal dressing down
from Mr.. Truman after the Mos
cow conference.
An assertion that he was read
the "riot act" appeared in Jona-
than Daniels biography of Mr..
Truman, Man of Independence"
And, in the book, "Mr. President"
Mr.. Truman says he protested to
Mr.. Byrnes about being kept in the
dark.

Putnam Says S12 Rise
In Steel Would Cost
People $40 Billion

Top Sterilization officials have
carried to the public the adj
|ministration's fight to break the
steel impasse.
Economic Stabilizer Roger l..
Putnam said a SIP a ton price
increase as requested by the steel
companies would cost the Ameri-
can people somewhere in the
neighborhood of perhaps $40 bill
lion"
Figuring in this problematical
cost increase. he explained, would
be the increases which would have
to be granted other industries
land the resulting upsurge in liv-
ing costs and wage rates"
He described a $12 ton price
increase as setting off "a charge
Of dynamite in our anti-inflation
dikes."
Putnam Speaks in Richmond.
Both Mr.. Putnam and Price
Stabilizer Ellis Arnall insisted
the steel companies would get all
the price increase they are en-
titled to under the law.
Mr.. Putnam addressed the Vir-
ginia State Chamber of Commerce
at Richmond yesterday. It was
his first public discussion of the
steel case. Mr.. Arnall spoke last
night over the Columbia Broad
casting System. He described his
address as report to the people.
Mr.. Putnam said the steel COM
panies want a price increase of
$12 a ton now for a wage increase
that might cost them Sc a ton
next January. He explained that
passing all Of the costs of the
steel award on to the consumer
could only be done by "the junk
ing Of our price-control stand
ards for fair and equitable treat
ment."
If those standards are aban-
doned for steel, he said, I'VE would
have to do the same thing for
every other industry. If we did
that we wouldn't have a stabili-
cation program"
Wage Plan Defended.
He defended the wage award
as "cash-up" and said it is in
line with what other major in
dustrieS have already granted and
are continuing to grant under
wage regulations.
Mr.. Arnall said the wage would
require the industry to absorb
about 1925 million in added costs.
The industry, he asserted, could
absorb cost increases amounting
to almost 81 billion and still be
above its 1947-1949 earnings.
In that period. he explained.
companies producing more than
IS per cent of the steel earned an
average of $843 million, which
represented a return of 1875 per
cent of net worth on owners in
vestment.
The steel companies have never
asked OPS for a cent of relief
under the Capehart amendment,
Mr.. Arnall said. Any time they
do. he added, they can qualify for
an increase in the neighborhood
of 50 a ton.
Four Big Factors.
Summarizing the effects of a
$12-a-ton price increase. Mr.. Ar
nall said it would:
!. Drive the cost of living UP al
least S per cent;
2. Add minimum of $500 9
year to the expenses of the aver.
age American family as a result
of higher prices;
3. Boost prices of goods made OF
steel along with food prices, utility
and railroad rates and other
items: and
4. Raise the cost of arms for de-
Tense, thus meaning higher taxes
for the public.

This may be Of interest to
Mrs. G. D.. Takoma Park, who
inquired about paw paws. Last
Sunday we were out at Great
Falls on the Maryland side, and
my husband and father-in-law
came back to the car with sew
eral paw paws which they had
picked up along the path q.
short distance upriver from the
parking area. The fruit was
unripe and we have been told
that 1t ripens as persimmons do,
after the first frost touches it.
They are rather, an irregular
oblong in shape and olive green
In color, but turn yellow when
ripe. @
Can some one give me some
information on how to clean
Hitchcock chairs? I have two
straight ones which were in
storage for a year or SO. and
although they were cleaned a
bit before they were sent to us,
there are still some areas which
look dull or coated with a film Of
dirt. What can I use on them
that will not harm the finish?

PTA PROGRAMS?.

Can't think of any better

there Is always q program Of

thing about these programs at
other schools, but here the
members expect something more

than enlightenment. Like all
parents, they particularly enjoy
seeing their young ones perform.
Last year, the program chair
man was a very talented per-
son and by dint Of great effort
and much hard work put on
several gala costumed musical
shows with most Of the children
participating. s
Being the mother of four chill.
dren under six years Of age and
half of the labor on a 200-acre
farm, I, as the new program
chairman. can't possibly do as
good a Job as my predecessor.
: However, I would like to have
two or three programs Of enter
tainment wherein the children
participate. And I'm a babe in
the woods. I have no ideas, I
don't know where to find any
literature that might give me
ideas or outline a program.
They must be something in
which a great many children
participate. not requiring cos
TUNES, and of q simple nature.
Right now, I'm stumped on a
small state show for Thanks
giving.
Anyway, I'd appreciate, in
fact would be downright CRATE
full, for any ideas for any chill
dren's programs; for any in
formation as to where litera-
ture might be obtained and for
any and all ideas for any kind
of program that might be inter-
esting to members Of the PTA.
Please come through for me,
because If you can't I might as
well give up the ship.

CARE OF CAT?

fMfS. +. u. ", WGStttgtOfJ
Can some one please give ad-
vice very simply about q cat?
I'll admit I'm not an animal
lover and hope thereby to FORE
stall advice that involves ardu-
GUS and complicated care from
cat lovers.
The situation is simply this:
A kitten has adopted us. COM
ing to the back door every
morning and evening to be fed.
My child seems to like her so I
have gone so far as to buy milk
and cat food, and we feed her
twice q day. Does she need any
other food. What table scraps
will she eat. wouldn't want to
make her sick, so have been
sticking to canned cat food and
milk so far. but 1t would be
economy to be able to feed her
some other things.
I've gotten various opinions
as to whether she can stay out
side during the winter. don't
know where she sleeps now.
Some mornings I see her come
from under the back porch "a
very sheltered place.. but I've
never actually seen her sleep
ing there. We fixed a box for
her, but she ignores it. Can she
live outdoors all winter?
Another thing. there is a huge
(the size Of a dog) cat which
comes around and tries to steal
the kittens food. so we have to
watch her. I've tried throwing
water on the big cat. but she
Is very daring and doesn't
frighten easily. What to do?
Thanks for letting me know
what to do about the kitten
which won't involve keeping her
in the house, other than the
basement. and preferably not
that. 90 .~,sl

To pickle onions or shallots:
Peel onions, place in jam jars.

To me, it is not a question as
to whether q man should be
expected to do any housework
or child care. The fact that
his wife works or does not work
outside the home doesn't enter
into the picture either.
It is a fathers privilege to
assist, especially in the care Of
his children. He should not do
1t from a sense Of duty, but
rather because he, too, wants
to share in the bringing up Of
his children.

My earliest memory is q picture
of my father seated in a big.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE SYSTEM

Recently, two Supreme Court justices criticized the Electoral College system of electing Presidents They pointed out that this old system sometimes allows President who has received fewer popular votes than his opponent to win an election
 As far as is known, this is the first time in the modern when members of the highest court in the land have out for the abolition of the Electoral College. Such step, of course would require con- stitutional amendment.
 There has been talk about abolishing the Electoral College for many years now since it prevents the peo ole from voting directly on Presidential candidates. The people, instead vote for Presidential electors who are not bound to support any candidate.
 Under our two-party system, it is possible for one candidate to win several close elections in the key states receiving all the electoral votes, while his op ponent representing the other major party receives almost as many popular votes, but electoral votes at all.
