My fellow Americans:

i My fellow Americans:
Tonight. our country faces {,
lgrave danger. We are faced b,
the possibility that at midnigh
our steel industry will be shu
down. This must not happen.
Steel is our key industry. 1
is vital to our defense effort. i
is vital to peace.
We do not have a stockpile o.
the kinds of steel we need fol
defense. Steel is flowing directl,
from the plants that make i
into defense production.
If steel production stops, we viii
have to stop making the shells
and bombs that are going directly
to our soldiers at the front il
lin Korea. If steel production
stops, We will have to cut dowr
and delay our atomic energy pro.
gram. If steel production stops
lit won't be long before we have
ito stop making engines for oul
Air FOfce planes.
! These would be the immediate
effects if the steel mills close
down. A prolonged shutdown
would bring our defense produc-
ton to a halt and throw oul
domestic economy into chaos.
These Are Times of Crisis.
These are not normal times
These are times of crisis. We have
been working and fighting to pre-
vent the outbreak of world war
SO far we have succeeded. The
most important element in this
successful struggle has been our
defense program. If that is
stopped. the situation can change
overnight.
All around the world, we face
the threat of military action by
the forces of aggression. Our grow
ing strength is holding these forces
in check. If our strength fails,
these forces may break out in
renewed violence and bloodshed.
Our national security and our
chances for peace depend on our
defense production. Our defense
production depends on steel.
AS your President, I have to
think about the effects that a steel
shutdown here would have all over
the world.
I have to think about our SOL
dlers in Korea. facing the Chinese
Communists. and about our SOL
dlers and allies in Europe, con-
fronted by the military power
massed behind the Iron Curtain.
I have to think of the danger to
our security if we are forced, for
lack OF steel. to cut down on our
atomic energy program.
l have no doubt that If our de-
tense program fails, the danger of
war. the possibility of hostile at
tack, grows that much greater.
Greater Danger of Attack.
I would not be faithful to NV
responsibilities as President if I
did not use every effort to keep
this from happening.
With American troops facing the
enemy on the field of battle. I

Text of Order Selma Mills

| Here is the Executive Order
under Which President Truman
last night directed the Secretary
OF Commerce to take ouer Uirtu-
ally the entire steel INDUSTRY:
Whereas on December is, 1850,
proclaimed the existence of a
national emergency which requires
that the military, naval, air and
civilian defenseS of this country
be strengthened as speedily as pos
sible to the end that we may be
able to repel any and all threats
against our national security and
to fulfill our responsibilities in the
efforts being made throughout the
United Nations and otherwise to
bring about a lasting peace; and
Whereas American fighting men
and fighting men of other nations
of the United Nations are now
engaged in deadly combat with the
forces of aggression in Korea, and
forces Of the United States are
stationed elsewhere overseas for
the purpose of participating In the
defense of the Atlantic Community
against aggression; and
Whereas the weapons and other
materials needed by our armed
forces and by those Joined with
US in the defense of the free world
are produced to a great extent in
this country, and steel is an in
IdispenSable component of substan-
TALLY all of such weapons and
materials; and
indispensable to. Programs.
Whereas steel is likewise indis-
pensable to the carrying out of
programs Of the Atomic Energy
Commission of vital Importance to
our defense efforts; and
Whereas continuing and unin-
tterrupted supply of steel is also
indispensable to the maintenance
OF the economy Of the United
States, upon which our military
strength depends; and
Whereas controversy has
arisen between certain companies
in the United States producing
and fabricating steel and the ele-
mentS thereof and certain of their
workers represented by the United
Steel Workers of America, CLIO,
regarding terms and conditions
of employment: and
Whereas the controversy has not
been settled through the processes
of collective bargaining or through
the efforts of the Government, in
Guiding those of the Wage Sta
bilization Board. to which the
controversy was referred on De-
cember %, 1851. pursuant to Exec
utive Order No. 1928, and a strike
has been called for 1901 am,
April 9, 1852; and
Whereas work Stoppage would
Immediately jeopardize and i'm
peril our national defense and the
defense of those joined with us
in resisting aggression, and would
add to the continuing danger of
our soldiers, sailors, and airmen
engaged in combat in the field;
and
! Whereas in order to assure the
continued availability of steel and
Isteel products during the exist
ling emergency, it is necessary that

ONE DIMENSION.
Here is the story of the longest
life on record. And all the DAYS
OF MethuSelah were nine hundred
sixty and nine years: and he
died" That is all Genesis says
about this ancient father. The
highest compliment was that he
lived 500 years and he died. He
may have lived a long. narrow,
unintereSting. uneventful life of
one dimension. 1t had only length.
But length is not the only dimen-
sion to life.

Prayer: Lord make OF our
Tires an adventure in fruitful
lining. Amen.

that the prayers will be answered. but The Citizen recalls
that without publicly announced hurricane was

Fordans who caught in the realty boom crash Let
us hope that 1852 will be like 1925 far hurricanes

Why should we forget? Because the Navy in Key

of the first battles against Com
munist expansion.
The United States since 1947 has
supplied arms and training to build
a modern Greek army.
This force totals around 10 di-
visions, nearly $50, 900 men - with
supporting air and naval units.
The Greeks generally are well
equipped, but they are short of
heavy guns and aircraft. Picked
army units are stationed along or
near the Bulgarian border in
Thrace, from where any land as
sault would come.
The Bulgarian Army is estimated
to total between II and Is divi-
sions of approximately 10000 each.
They are armed with modern So
Wet equipment, and at least two
divisions are believed to be ar
mored.
The Bulgars also face border
forces of the modernized and tough
Turkish Army in Thrace where the
boundaries of Greece, Bulgaria and
Turkey join.

The bus tragedy in Texas
shocked the nation. It provided a
good illustration of the close rela-
ton between all communities of the
United States. Here at The Citizen
we received inquiries as to the
identity of passengers. Fear was
expressed that some loved one
might have been on one of the bus
es. The same type of inquiries
were made in newspaper offices all
over the country.
The burden of trying to supply
a casualty list fell on The Waco
Times-Herald. Unfortunately, the
Army chose to step in and bar
newSmen from the funeral home
morgue. Naturally, such censor
ship created bad feelings. Sam
Wood, editor of The Times-Herald
said: "This is no longer a matter
OF military courtesy. Too many cl-
villains are involved. Wen play
ball with them on their military
posts but not in this situation"
The Times Herald is small
newspaper with a circulation of Is,
663. In this particular case how
ever, it was representing every
newspaper reader in the world.
Time and time again, the Armed
Services have overstepped their
bounds with regard to censorship.
Military authorities have no right
to deny the public information con-
corning a civilian accident that
happens on a public highway. Or
