Steel Companies Urge
High Court 10 Ignore
Threat Of New Strike
Justices Confer Toduy;
No Action Expected on
PIeus Before Monduy
By Robert K. Walsh

Steel companies urged the Su-
preme Court today to ignore q
Government warning that workers
might strike again If wage boosts
are banned pending a decision in
the seizure case.
Industry attorneys filed a men,
orandum shortly before the JUS
tices went into their regular Sat-
urday closed conference at II
am.
The memo was essentially q
reply to several points in an ap-
plication filed yesterday by the
Justice Department. The Gov
ernment asked the court to re-
view and reverse District Court
Judge David A. Pines ruling that
the steel seizure was illegal and
unconstitutional.
A review petition also was filed
yesterday by the industry asking
that Judge Pines decision be up
held. It also requested that If
the Supreme Court decides to con-
tinue a stay of Judge Pines order
it should prevent the Govern
ment from raising wages or
during the stay.
No Immediate Action.
AS the justices met, presumably
to consider the petitions, they gave
no indication how soon they might
announce whether they will ac-
cept the case for review. There
were indications that no state
ment would be made until Mon
day, a regular opinion day.
The industry's memorandum to-
day stressed the request for a
modification of the stay order
issued by the United States Court
OF Appeals last Wednesday. The
companies emphasized that they
oppose any kind of a stay of Judge
Pines injunction, but that, in
event Of a stay, they want the
existing situation maintained.
"The only possible argument
against attaching the modification
(of the stay is that the union
will strike against a stay so modi-
fed" the industry stated. "A sug-
geStion that the Supreme Court
should not do equity because a
powerful union might strike
against this courts action has i'm
plications hardly less grave than
the basic constitutional issue in
the seizure.
But we need not be concerned

Action Demanded.
II didn't send for you just to
make a speech" Mr.. Truman said
in his extemporaneous talk to the
officials in the White House
cabinet room. II sent for you for
action and, gentlemen, I want it."
The President said he didn't
want to have the Government fix
terms and conditions of employ
ment for the steel industry under
Government seizure.
But we will have no choice if
you cannot agree" he said.
After making his dramatic talk,
MIR. Truman withdrew from the
conference. He left the negotia-
tionS in charge of John r. Steel
man, assistant to the President,
and David Stowe, an administra-
tive assistant. He was followed
from the room by Commerce Sec
retary Sawyer, Federal boss of the
steel industry under seizure, and
Charles Murphy, presidential legal
adviser.
In warning that the Govern
ment was preparing to impose
higher wage rates and other new
working conditions on the indus
try. Mr.. Truman pointed out that
Economic Stabilizer Roger L. Put
nam had already completed an
order specifying the new terms of
employment.
In Line With WSB Formula.
1t was reported on high au-
thority that unless the steel dis
pute is settled, the Government
would grant the workers wage
boost of 1212 cents an hour and
other benefits worth about 5 cents
an hour. This would be in line
with settlement proposals of the
Federal Wage Sterilization Board.
The board also recommended
union shop for the steelworkers.
A high official said the admins
tration would not order this form
of compulsory union membership
into effect while the mills are
under Government seizure.
Mr.. Truman told the steel Off
cials that as patriotic Americans
they should settle their contract
differences at the White House
meeting. He said this matter
can be settled in a matter of
hours"
The steel companies, six of the
largest of which were represented
in the meeting, have demanded
substantial price increases to
match the Governments wage
proposals. Federal stabilizers have
SAID the industry is entitled to a
price boost of only So. The COM
panies have rejected that.
One Proper Course.
Mr.. Truman did not say how
large a price boost the Govern
ment would allow in the new ef-
fort to settle the steel wage dis
pute. He said there is only one
proper way to settle" the price
aspect of the controversy.
First, the parties should reach
agreement on the issues in dis
pute between them," Mr.. Truman
said. Then, the companies should
present their claims for price in
creases to the proper Govern
ment officials.

Electricity discharged through a

He said there are other "theo-

might be even better, but he de-
clined to amplify.
Up until recently the general
view, including that Of most top
scientists, has been that atomic
energy could be released from ny
drogen only through terrific ex-
plosion
Gamow, internationally known
theoretical physicist who serves
as a eonsultant to the Atomic En-
ergy Commission, made the COM
ments when asked about a recent
statement by Sen. Hiekeniooper

placed in such materials.
The iTea OF the electric dis

nigh, in turn trigger a succession
Of n0n-expleeiye fusion reactions
which might he utilized for power

from hydrogen would be to have
