Strikers Set to Fight
Move for Injunction
Court Order
Plea by U. S.
Made Today
BY LEE M. COIN
Star STAFF Writer

The Government asked Q
Pittsburgh court today to order
striking steel workers to halt
their 98-day-old strike.
If Federal District Judge
Herbert P. Sorg grants an in.
junction promptly, the mills
may start calling some strikers
back to work tomorrow. But full
production will not be achieved
for about a month.
President Eisenhower late
yesterday ordered the Justice
Department to petition for the
Taft Hartley Act injunction on
grounds that the strike con-
Stitutes "a peril to the national
health and safety"
The striking United Steel
workers of America planned to
oppose the injunction before
Judge Sorg and If necessary on
appeal.
Arthur Goldberg, the unions
general counsel, said he will
argue that the provisions of
the Taft-Hartley Act which
have been invoked are uncon-
stitutional. He said he also
Twill argue that the strike does
mot imperil the national health
or safety within the meaning
of the Taft-Hartley Act.
Negotiation to Continue
If the union loses, the
strikers must go back to work
for 80 days. Unless the dispute
is settled by negotiation before
the 80 days are up, the union
would be free to resume the
strike.
No court ever has rejected
a presidential petition for q
Taft Hartley strike injunction.
but the SteelworkerS are the
first union to attempt an all
out fight against the issuance
of one. Union President David
j. Mcdonald said he will fight
the injunction all the way to
the Supreme Court.
He and Mr.. Goldberg went
to Pittsburgh for the initial
court battle. The unions exec
utvie board also left here for
the steel center.
Presidents Statement
President Eisenhower moved
reluctantly to obtain an in
junction after his board of in
quiry told him the strike was
Ihopelessly deadlocked. The
President issued the following
statement:

Redstone Decision
Expected to Prevent
Experts Quitting
BY WILLIAM HINES
star Science Writer

The ArmyS TOP rocket expert
says he is confident that the
fate of the famed Redstone
missile team will be decided
without wholesale designations
becoming necessary.
AS for himself, DR.. Wernher
Won Braun declared today that
he would quit his Huntsville
(Ala.) post only 'if the situa-
ton became such that it was
pointless to keep the (Red-
stone) team intact" He made
it clear he did not believe this
would be the case.
DR.. Won Braun emphasized
that he has no present inten-
ton of resigning If his group
of scientists is shifted to an
other Government agency.
But he told a news conference
he might resign if "a pleasant
environment" and challenging
space work are not given to him
and his scientists after any such
transfer.
Boss Is Retiring
DR.. Won Braun made these
statements when asked to COM
ment on the impending retire
ment of his military boss, Maj.
Gen. John B. Medaris, three
years ahead of schedule, and
whether he himself would quit.
1.-The situation is completely
different. For one thing, I am
IL years younger, the 46-year-
old German-born scientist said.
OF the MedariS resignation,
DR.. Won Braun said, II regret
this immensely"
He said he did not consider
Gen. Medaris' leaving the
agency as a protest resignation.
But he added that IF Gen.
MedariS had been given a very
challenging Space program"
he might have delayed his
retirement.
He said There has been a
lot of foot-dragging and
this may have Speeded his de-
cision to leave early"
Deep Dissatisfaction
AS far as other designations
at Redstone are concerned, DR..
Won Braun said:
There is no crisis in Hunts
VILE"
DIR. Won Braun and Gen.
Medaris are known to share a
deep dissatisfaction over the
Air Forces recent ascendancy
in the space business. This un-
happiness is generally wide
spread through the Won Braun
team of German scientists
which developed Americas first
big war rockets, RedStone and
Jupiter, after World War II.
Asked what he thought the
future of the Army Ballistic
Missile Agency at Huntsville
should and would be, DR.. Won
Braun refused to comment on
the grounds that the matter
Is in the hands of the President.
Asked about discussions now
under way as to whether the
Huntsville scientists will be alb
sorbed by a Defense Depart
ment agency other than the
Army, or by the National Aero
nautics and Space Administra-
ton, or whether they will

formed at Kill Devil Hills with
many citizens contributing finan-
cially, legal help was employed,
and wide notice was given whereby
all persons who felt unable to car
ry their burden alone, could get
the help of the Association and its
legal aid, and their appeals might
have been taken to Raleigh, but
few availed themselves of this OPP
portunity.
So far as 1858 tax valuations
stand, the County Board at this
late date can make no changes.
Their only authority is to set the
valuations for new property which
has come on the books in 1859.
This does not mean that the
Commissioners will not hear the
appeal of anyone who thinks an
error has been made. But policy
has been adopted whereby the facts
must first be determined before
the appeal comes to the Board.
Here are the steps to be taken:
1. The taxpayer must make his
appeal in writing signed by him
self. He must make a full summa-
ry, giving substantiating state
ments.
2. He must give comparisons
with other property, naming loca-
lions and owners so the tax office
may compare the records.
8. The complaint must be filed
through the office of the Dare
County Tax Supervisor, Manteo,
N. c., who will report his findings
to the Board. If a clerical error
has been discovered, it will be the
only means whereby the Board can
change the records.
According to the law under
which the costly appraisal job
was done last year, the valuations
then set on property must stand
for four years, when another ap-
praisal is made. At each annual
tax listing time, changes can be
made because of new property, al
terations in property entailing an
outlay of 500 or more, or because
of damage by fire, storm, etc.
Under the present law, a person
whose home burns down prior to
March 81 in any year, cannot be
relieved of any of the tax for the
whole year. The Dare Commission
ers this week voted to ask the leg
islature to change, this law to per-
NIT relief in instances where prop
erty is lost by fire prior to March
81. Oddly enough, the law does
permit relief where property is lost
through hurricane.

ANNUAL CRIME REPEATED
AGAINST SHAD INDUSTRY

A 15-day extension of the sea-
son for taking Of shad and her
ring in North Carolina commercial
waters was announced Friday in
Raleigh by Director William P.
Saunders of the Department of
Conservation and Development.
The season which is closed by
law on April rs, was extended I'M
til May 10.
Saunders said he took the ac-
tion on the advice and recommen-
dations of C. Gehrman Holland,
State Fisheries commissioner and
head of the Department of Con-
servation and Developments COM
mercial fisheries division, and DIR.
A. F. Chestnut, director, Institute
Of Fisheries Research, University
of North Carolina at Morehead
City.
Herring and shad fishermen,
Holland said, have been greatly
hampered by bad weather and late
runs of fish and these are the rea-
sons for the extension of time for
taking them.
EDITORS Note: Again is repeat
ed the annual crime of many years
habit, which has resulted in the
slow destruction of the shad in
dustry. While prices are so low
late in the season that the return
is insufficient to repay the wear
and tear on the nets, fishermen
who know better are allowed to
destroy the seed Of the harvests
that might come for the future.
