Steel Boom
Is Believed
To Have Ended

NEW YORK RSteelmen are
asking how much longer their
headlong production rate win CON
tinue as the mainstay Of the long
business boom.
Some see in the weakness Of
scrap prices the first signs that
the mad scramble for steel may
be in its final months, if not weeks.
Scrap has q traditional role as
barometer for the industry.
But while scrap prices have been
dropping, the price Of steel finished
to customers specifications has
been going up. And almost to i
man, steel executives are insisting
that further price rises Ia steel
are due.
Most steel mills have their order
books filled through September.
And most expect production to stay
high till the end Of tie year. There
IS considerable time between
booking an order and delivering
the steel to ! customer.
Scrap prices are now down
around Sc a ton below the price
charged under government con-
trolls. A top grade Of scrap IS now
quoted at $S8 ! ton In some places.
Scrap dealers report that demand
BY The mills IS slack, and inyen-
tories high.
The pressure to raise steel prices
Is being watched closely BY many
manufacturers. Some have been
paying premium prices for steel
they had converted to their own
particular need Or for foreign steel.
Slackening Ia steel demand win
begin to show when manufacturers
stop paying these premium prices,
and some are already reported
dropping the practice.

ing trips, dropped prosecutions, pressures and
such had cleared away, new faces and new
policies were the order at Justice.
Mr.. Brownell enumerated ten significant
reforms which emerged from the 17-month
inquiry. Several of these could be Jumped under
one Observation-Disclosures law enforcement For
example, secrecy on tax settlements and clem-
ency appeals has been abolished, responsibility
for the dropping of prosecutions for alleged
illness has been shifted from United States
attorneys to the courts, prosecutors have been
ordered to devote full time to their official
duties, central office to keep tab on the status
of all prosecutions has been set up and steps
to train and otherwise aid United States at
torneys have been taken. Beside these innova-
tions, the department has made consultations
and transfers of offices designed to improve
efficiency and reduce administrative costs.
It is obvious that the $185,00 spent by the
House on the Justice investigation was money
we'll invested. The compliments exchanged by
Mr.. Brownell and the committee were merited
in each case.

Technical LoophoIes?

The tWo-to-one Court of Appeals decision
reversing the gambling conspiracy convictions
of Charles E. Nelson and associates will be dis
appointing to law-enforcement officials who
had been cheered by the Supreme Courts recent
stand in the Readers Digest murder case In
the New York case the high tribunal announced
its unwilngness ito dscredit constitutional
doctrines for protection of the innocent by
making of them mere technical loopholeS for
the escape of the guilty. Dissenting Appellate
Judge E. Barrett Prettyman cited this state
ment in opposing the reversal-although he
agreed with Judges Bazelon and Edgerton that
certain evidence against Nelson was admitted
enormously at his trial. Judge Prettyman
thought the other evidence was sufficient to
warrant conviction
The split in the appellate court related to
the much-publicized little red book" which
Gambler Nelson offered to show Senate crime
investigating committee. Under questioning
about his financial dealings with numbers
syndicate, Nelson pleaded poor memory and
suggested that his little book would show the
facts. He agreed to accompany committee
employe to his home to obtain the book. The
pair returned to the committee with number
of record books and other documents covering
lottery operations. The majority of the court
contended that even though Nelson agreed to
"extorted" and therefore his constitutional pro-
lection against illegal search and seizure" was
violated. Hence, the records were held to be
inadmissible in any court proceeding.
But Judge Prettyman could not go along
with this line of reasoning, insofar as it con-
cerned alleged infringement of Nelson's con-
stitutional rights. II think we should not spin
out search and seizure where none exists in
fact" he wrote. mo one, think, is more en-
phatic than I am in respect to the constitu-
tional projections of privacy both of person and
property But we ought not to transmute inv-
tation into invasion, admonitions normal in
judicial proceedings into illegal compusions,
absence of objection into paralysis, proffers into
searches, or acceptances into seizures-uness
the facts compel us to do So" However, he said,
the evidence obtained by the Senate commit
tee-although legal-waS not admissible at the
criminal trial under Federal statute protect
ing witnesses before Congress except in perjury
cases. That was where the lower court erred,
Judge Prettyman held, but the error was not
important enough to justify reversal of the
convictions.
The Government now must go to the eX-
pense and trouble of retrying the defendants
on the basis of evidence apart from that OBJ
tanned from the disputed records. Judge Pretty
man indicated his belief that this evidence is
sufficient to convict. Judges Bazelon and Edger
ton were not sure about it. 1t will take another
jury to decide.

Research for Survival

Lewis L. Strauss in his first speech as the
new chairman of the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion, has spoken out in timely fashion against
those who tend to underestimate or scof at
the Importance of pure and basic scientific
research for both military and non military
purposes.
Some time ago, perhaps more facetiouSly
than seriously, Defense Secretary Wilson COM
mented rather diSparagingly on certain aspects
of such research, and he has sponsored sub
stantial economies in the field. With that in
mind, Democratic Representative Price of Illi
nois-a member of the Joint Senate House
Atomic Committee-haS interpreted Mr..
Strauss remarks as slap at Mr. Wilson. In
all probability, the Interpretation is mistaken,
but the remarks themselves are none the less
very much to the point because too many
members of Congress seem aergic to the idea
of spending money on exploring the frontiers
of science.
Thus in voting on funds for research and
development, the House has taken action that
has all the earmarks of being penny wise and
pound-foolish. Not content with President
EisenhoWer's cut of $74 million, it has made q
slash of $244 million in the ST billion set aside
in the Truman budget for scientific endeavors.
In other words, it has more than tripled the
administrations own reduction, and there is
little reason to believe that it has done so with
any aWareness of the possible consequences of
its handiwork. The Senate, one must hope,
will give the matter fuller consideration and
be less inclined to write off the significance of
abstract science
In any event. Mr. Strauss has offered wise
counsel to the Nation in declaring that we
must press forward with basic research eff we
intend to survive" and that it is vital to re-
member that failure to do this now, although
it might not hurt us Immediately, would be
sure to hurt our children E. and jeopardze
the future security of the United States" After
all, as he has said, military and other tech
biological advances are often the result of
seemingly impractical discoveries made decades
earlier. To realize that, of course, we have
only to keep in mind the development of the
atomic bomb out of Einstein's 1905 mathemat-
ical equation showing energy as the equivalent
of an inert mass multiplied by the square of the
velocity of light.
Back in 1905, the average layman-if he
heard of the thing at all-regarded this equa-
ton as lot of abstruse jargon totally irrele-
want to the real world. But how terribly
non-abstruse and relevant it has become now
And how well it serves to illustrate what Mr..
Strauss and other authorities mean when they
gravely warn against any belittlement of pure
and basic scientific work.

Time to Prov

1t is all well and good for President
Eisenhower to call for a day of prayer
on July 4. It is not all we'll and good
that we must be reminded of our
duty to God.
Our forefathers knew this duty and
it was second nature for them to turn
in His direction, not only in times of
distress such as Valley Forge but at
least each and every Sunday. Meal
time was traditional reminder of His
goodness.
In these days when every week seems
to be dedicated to one purpose or an
other. perhaps it is not too much to
hope for a Prayer Week. I'm sure we
can spare more than one day in re-
membrance.
There are still many among us who
like to sneak off to Church and in the
quiet and solitude far removed from
the hustling, settle our inner natures.
This has become more difficult in ,e-
cent years It seems that there is SO
little respect for law and order, it is
not safe to leave churches open much
past or 6 o'clock. The hours when
a working person can drop in for
spiritual rejuvenation, must wait for
special services or Sunday -. the
Spirit must wait.
The tragedy of our day is that super
fetal pick-ups have replaced our true
values as found IN Faith!

According to the information obtained
by the police, Foultz was employed
upon a Baltimore excursion steamer
on the Patapsco River and Chesapeake
Bay. Colored men were found among
the employees of the boat, but if Dorsey
was one of the party he was not
recognized and the officers returned
empty-handed I'm sure Dorsey was
not employed on the steamer said one
of his colored friends to Star re-
porter, but if he had been there, I
guess he wouldn't have been identified,
because Dorsey is changed man. He

in the land of the living and that his
health has improved since he left here.
But notwithstanding repeated failures,
Dorsey Foultz' stock was high again
today. Another sure tip was received.
and another effort will probably be
made to get him. Since the murder was
committed, the police have received in
formation from more than 20 sources
locating Dorsey, but he has thus far
succeeded in eluding the officers" The
quest for Foultz never really was fin

is the relic of barbarism. We send
missionaries to China to teach the
Chinese our civilization and permit, in
our own country the most heathenish
practice, that of celebrating by making
great noise, making the day hor-
rible and the night hideous with one
continuous roar and bang, endangering
property and life. 1t teaches our chill
dren selfshness, in that one day III
