Settlement in Steel

The precise effects Of the 27-day steel
strike may not be measured for several
months, but their broad outline is easy
to recognize. The cost Of producing steel
will 60 up and the industry will pass that
increase on to the consumers This will
apply not only to primary uses such as
heavy construction and the in6Istry's
own plans for vast expansion, but also
to consumer products containing small
amounts Of steel. In turn, not only will
$4,000 steelworkerS have greater expend-
able income to channel into the Nations
marketplaces; other major groups of or
ganized labor undoubtedly will ask and
receive higher pay scales. 1t would be
wishful thinking not to believe that all
of these things will add up to another
strongly inflationary pressure at the very
time when the relative stability of the past
three years already is showing signs of
breaking out on the upward side.
Still, there are some aspects of the
settlement that warrant satisfaction and
a certain amount of optimism on all
sides. The fact that this is three-year
contract promises reasonably long pc
Rod of peace in basic industry that has
lost an estimated SIS million tons of pro-
duction and so million man-days of work
through labor strife in the past eleven
years. Spokesman for both industry and
labor, whose conduct through these weeks
of negotiation never did descend to the
level Of personal bitterness, even found
grounds for hopeful opinions that there
will be longer period of tranquility in
the industry. And although the direct
costs Of the strike were substantial to
steel and to related industries and their
labor forces, the timing and the duration
of the shutdown we're such that no dew
astating blow was inflicted upon the ma
tional economy. The Governments de-
cision to leave the negotiations to the
principals-except for cautioning them
that a protracted deadlock could not be
allowed-has been justified. The agree
ment has been reached through genu-
inely free collective bargaining in which
each side made compromises and neither
emerged with feeling that It's interests
had been overridden by Government in
tervention. The Governments authority,

A Good Congress

Like all of its predecessors, the 84th
Congress has come to an end without
having satisfied everybody. 1t has left
several things undone, and it has done
other things that various groups of
people depending on their particular
lntereStS-have condemned as poor or
worse. Still, under it's Democratic lead
ership, it has labored hard and accom-
plished considerable amount of work
serving the best interests of the Nation.
Certainly, on the whole, it has been a
good, a moderate and productive Con-
gress. And not the least of its distinc-
tionS is that it has established this record
in a presidential election year, with a
Republican administration in power.
In effect, the record is one that has
pretty thoroughly upset a prophecy made
by the President in Nationwide tele-
vision address in October of 1854. At that
time, with the congressional campaign
nearing climax, he warned that Dem
ocratic victory would start "a cold war
of partisan politics between the Congress
and the Executive Branch" and that
this would block the great work" that
his Republican administration had $50
well begun" But that is not what has
since happened. Although both the SEN
ate and House have been under the con-
troll of the Democrats, they have granted
perhaps as much as rs per cent Of Mr..
EiSenhower'S requests, and although there
has been lot of politicking- is
natural and inevitable in season like
thiS-there has been no partisan conten-
ton Of the type that could have para
lyzed our governing processes and done
serious injury to the Nation.
Some of the credit for this belongs to
the President for the wisdom and re-
Straint he has shown in dealing with
Congress since his cold war" speech. The
larger share, however, must go to Senate
Majority Leader Johnson and Minority
Leader Knowland, and to House Speaker
Rayburn and former Speaker Martin as
well. For these men, working together in
spirit Of moderation and compromise,
have played key role in diScouraging
partisan excuses and heading of the
kind Of political cold war" that might
otherwise have broken out to the damage
of all of us. AS result, owing in no small
measure to their Skillful, vigorous and
even-tempered guidance, the 84th Con-
greSS has ended in an atmosphere of
amity and passed into history with a
right to feel that it has rendered good
service to the American people.

Pans Planners

Recently your paper pub
lished a plan for the removal
of tempos and the construc-
ton Of new Federal Office
buildings in the downtown
area. A study of this plan in
dicates that the people who
made it are still thinking in
10th century terms. Some ways
in which the plan is hopelessly
out Of date are:
/. 1t ignores the nationwide
trend toward decentralization.
2. 1t ignores the need for
dispersal as protective meas
ure.
3. It ignores the fact that
Washington does not have a
cheap, fast system Of mass
transportation.
4. 1t ignores the fact that
the automobile is here to stay;
no provision is made for park
ing.
S. 1t would continue to force
the many thousands Of en-
ployes who live in the more
attractive outlying residential
areas to spend an inordinate
amount Of time and money TO
get to and from work.

Farm Revolt?

Democrats who have been hopeful of
farm revolt against the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration in November will find little
encouragement in the opinion of one of
the farmers leading spokesman. Inter-
viewed by the Baltimore Sun, James G.
Patton, president of the National Farmers
Union, estimated that only two-or pos
Sibly thereof the farm States that voted
Republican in 1852 are likely to switch
this year. The two are North Dakota and
Oklahoma, with Iowa being described as
uncertain. And for the record, Mr. Pat
ton described himself as somewhat piqued
personally at Mr.. Eisenhower and as
favoring Averell Hartman, Democrat,
among current presidential contenders.
The burden of Mr.. PattonS reasoning
is that agricultural dissatisfaction and
unrest are neither deep enough nor wide
spread enough to swing States that went
Republican by wide margins of popular
votes in 1852. Only in Missouri, among
the farm States, was the Eisenhower
Nixon margin narrow one, while six of
these States gave the G. o. P. ticket more
than so per cent of their popular vote.
And while these margins were cut down
in the 1854 congressional contests, only
Minnesota recorded an extreme swing
from Republican to Democratic prefer
ence.
Mr.. Patton, who likes Mr. Hartman
because of the latter's commitment to
rigid price supports and his rejection Of
any moderate measures, must be con-
sidered qualified witness to what the
farmers feel and want. There is no doubt
that the issue Of the farm depression"
will be a major one In the rural States
this year and the Republicans will be on
the defensive. Mr.. Patton's views do not
warrant excessive g. o. P. optimism, but
they should make good reading in Repub-
lican headquarters.

Juilbreuk

A man convicted Of using
the mails to defraud insisted
so years ago that he was trying
to break into Jail despite legal
efforts of his lawyers to keep
him out. On July 10, 1906,
The Star reported: "Mr. Louis
A. Gourdain, of Chicago, who
is receiving a great deal Of
publicity and free advertising
in his reputed efforts to cause
himself to be committed to
the penitentiary to serve out
a sentence imposed by the
court, while his case is on APP
peal to a higher court, spent
today in this city adding to
the notoriety he has already
gained. He came here while
the Supreme Court is in recess
to request that tribunal to
compel his commitment to
jail. Mr.. Gourdain insists that
he will neither eat nor sleep
until that request has been
granted or denied by the court.
1t is necessary for the vindi-
cation Of his honor that he go
to jail, he claims. He will
appeal to the individual JUS
tees Of the court to receive a
petition which. it is explained,
only the full court in regular
term can receive. -"

FIFTY YEARS AGO IN THE STAR

Washington businessmen
were in the middle of a drive,
so years ago. to attract light
industry to the Capital. One
drawback was the cost of liv-
ing here. and on July 90, 1906,
The Star, in an editorial, said:
The markets here are gener-
ally regarded as dear markets.
But this arises from the fact
that there is little demand
here for the cheaper grades
of food supplies. Huge guam
titles of such cheaper ma
terial are shipped right
through Washington to Balti-
more and Philadelphia, be-
cause there is no demand for
1t here. 1t is only a question
Of supply and demand. Living
can be made as cheap in
Washington as in any city in
the East. provided the demand
exists for the cheaper material.
There seems then no reason to
doubt that skilled workmen
can be made comfortable here
and can live at reasonable
rates as compared with other
cities. :"

one calling Mr.. Nixon jun

we grew up and had a little
respect for our President and
his cabinet, rec srdless of the

for use when needed, is even stronger as
a result.
There remains, however, the ques-
ton of why there had to be any shut
down. There was no doubt from the
beginning that settlement based upon
compromise would be reached. The men
who hammered it out were fully capable
of doing it sooner and the costs to the
economy would have been substantially
lower. One can only hope that bargain
ing in a major industry hereafter will
take the shape of finding agreement
before-rather than after production is
halted.
