suit Of the 1862 steel seizure strike
fiasco. What Is more, the steel
strike layoffs came Immediately
after Q period Of 3.4 per cent unem-
ployment, and after the strike UNI
employment Immediately dropped
back to As per cent.
But such a development as is
envisioned for the last half Of 1854
would follow six-month period Of
7-per-cent-plu unemployment -
which by any standards is q critical
situation in itself.
Steel Strike Danger
There is one other factor not yet
considered that darkens the picture
even more. That is the possibility
Of strike, not in autos. but in
steel. Automobile. workers contracts
do not come up for renegotiation
until 1855.
The Steel Workers tCIO) are ex-.
pected to serve notice Of reopening
this spring. A strike conceivably
could occur as early as July l. Be-
cause steel bargaining follows an
industry pattern, q shutdown
would be virtually complete. and
Detroit would be all but unable
to get steel for its current needs.
This fact raises q question: Why
has Detroit not been stockpiling
steel against the possibility Of q
strike? Ford and General Motors.
busily producing cars at virtually
the 1853 rate, are buying plenty Of
Steel-but apparently on current
need basis. AS for the rest of the
industry, steel man complained
wistfully to the Wall Street Journal
last week that Detroit seems to
have forgotten there is steel in
dustry." AS to the why" Of it,
there appears to be no ready answer
in Detroit except the one (which
manufacturers deny that the in
dustry does not intend to produces

handle $500 in 1854 we will be doing
one hell Of q job.
"All can say Is that II Detroit
produces more than Al million cars
they had better find place to store

The bare arithmetic of the situ-
alton seems to favor the dealers

bic Detroit spokesman seriously
contends that 1854 sales will equal
those in 1858. They differ on the

We find that in many instances
basic difficulties and problems of
children are the direct result of
the failure of parents to perform
parental duties in such way as
to give a child the guidance,
training, supervision and security
he needs for his wholesome de-
velopment. All too frequently we
find that chronic alcoholism of
one or both parents is causing
disaster to the entire family. In
an effort to combat this disease
the County Health department
has recently established an Alec.

Letter from Ed Brown

A few months have passed
since last writing so 1 thought it
high time to bring you up to date
on personal happenings this side
of the Pacific.
We finally received govern
ment quarters in June and are
now living at Grant Heights, a
beautiful housing area some Ii
miles from downtown Tokyo.
We have a spacious one-story
house, plenty of lawn area, and
within a five minute walk from
the school, chapel, stores, swim
ming pool and other conven-
fences.
The children are both taking
swimming lessons and horseback
riding during the summer &C.
tivity program. We have a
Japanese maid three days a
week, which affords Mrs. Brown
time for window shopping,
church affairs, etc.
Just recently I wa S
transferred to the downtown
Tokyo Army education center
where 1 am assigned as an edu-
cation supervisor. My tour at
the Stockade ended on July 5
when the center requested me as
a replacement for another SER
geant who is going home this
month. My work is similar to
that of registration and advise
ment in public school or univer-
sity with tons of administration
added. Quite different from the
job of recruiting in Rockville.
The family and 1 look forward
to returning home sometime in
July of next year, at which time
I am hoping for another tour
with Army and Air Force Re-
cruiting.
We haven't seen the Kepharts
for a couple of months, however,

home nearby. They are quite ac-
tive in church and social affairs.

ton with the Far East command

We certainly enjoy all the
news from home, thanks to the
SENTINEL. l was particularly
interested, a few months ago,
during the campaign for Mayor
and Council. I've read a few
editorials in my time and those
appearing in the Sentinel long
about that time, were about the
most dynamic and enlightening
ones I've ever read. Keep up the
good work. We look forward to
receiving the SENTINEL almost
as much as letters from home
and the family. While on the
subject would you change my
address to the following:
Army Education Center,
Camp Tokyo, APO 800,

Letters from home are always
welcome Thanks a lot and
until we meet once again in
Rockville, I would love to hear
from you all.

into the system by the new plant.
But the radicals demanded that
If more power was to be develop
ed it should be done by the gov
eminent itself, not a private COM
pany.
The radicals think producing
electric power is function of the
government because resources
like coal, water and uranium are
involved. These, according to the
left-wing spokesman, belong to
all the people. Therefore, the
government must control them.
They do not say that when the
government builds a power plant
it costs the taxpayers money.
They also do not say that when
private industry builds a power
plant it Immediately begins to
pay taxes and helps us share the
burden of government expense.
They argue that to permit use
of atomic materials in the pro-
duction of electric power, which
is what the Administration en-
visions, would be a "giveaway"
of the peoples property. They
point out that $12 billion of tax
payers money has gone into
atomic research and production,
and that it is wrong to "give"
industry the benefits of this eX-
penditure.
The radicals openly state that
atomic power should be a per-
petual monopoly of the govern
ment. This means that eventually
the government will control all of
our business, since atomic energy
probably will be the sole source
of electricity in the future. If
there is any doubt about what
kind of system we would have
then, one need only read the Web
