DAVID LAWRENCE

Do the American people
want a regulated economy
with the Government fixing
wages and prices?
David j. Mcdonald, head
OF the Steelworkers Union,
unwittingly comes close to
saying, Eyes" This would
De one step removed from
socialism. He declares the
Government cannot help
but get involved" in the steel
strike and adds: 1--WE have
always welcomed the involve
ment Of Government"
AS for the steeDcompanies,
they recognize the possibility,
too, but are vehemently OPP
posed to it. believing that
free enterprise thrives under
a free system of bargaining,
RogersMC Blough, chairman
of the board of United States
Steel Corp, has just an
nounced:
Whatever the length Of
the strike. and whatever the
eventual outcome of the ne
gotiations-as long as they
are voluntary-we in United
States Steel do not intend to
raise the general level of our
steel prices in the foreSee-
able future"
Mr.. Blough said also that
his company intended to ad-
here to that pledge lin the
absence of an involuntary
settlement inundated by
some public body or author
ity."
This, of course, refers to
Government pressure or
mandate of law. o.
Naturally, labor-vnion
leaders in the past have
counted on their political
influence in Government to
give them what they want.
They are counting today on
help from members of Con-
greSS to bring pressure on the
White House to intervene
and force a settlement of the
steel strike in their favor.
The promise by the steel
industry not to raise prices
is a wise move. 1t doesn't
mean the door is closed to

this issue barely gets past
these four walls" he added.
Mr.. Bailey said the American
Society of Newspaper Editors
has denied a request that
charges of bias be aireG.
Representative TollefSon, Re-
publican of Washington, inter-
rupted Mr.. Bailey'S speech to
comment that it is unfortunate
that. as he put it, both sides in
the tariff controversy have not
been presented by the press.
Representative Davis, Demo-
crat of Georgia, charged that
coverage of tariff legislation
has been one-Sided. He said
1.-The press will lose its power
and its influence if it con-
tinues the abuses being deplored
here this afternoon.

lishment of an independent,

WILLIAM S. WHITE
COP. and the Hawaii Elections

proSpectS-out where the
hula long preceded the hula
hoops getting a good deal
of cold examination in WASH
in9ton. Many local consid-
erationS no doubt were in
volved. Nobody here claims
either to analyze or to weigh
these. But there is lively Sus-
picion among the more real
iStic Democrats that the Ha-
waii returns must indicate at
least a slight rise in general
Republican strength.
The probable reason most
discussed is that President
Eisenhower's "antispending"
crusade has done the Re-
publicans more good than
most ever thought it would.
Several Democrats concede
in confidence that it looks
that way. One automatically
partisan and liberal Demo-
crat, Senator Richard Neu-
berger of oregon, comedies
it out loud.
Senator Neuberger'S view
may we'll be conditioned by
the fact he is supporting the
President on one Of his pay
as-you-go demands, a rise
in the gasoline tax to help
pay for the national high
way building program. Sem
ator Neuberger is in one sense
a "spender,!" and doesn't deny
it. But he is also a "taxer,"
and he doesn't deny that,
either.
He says the bulk of his fell
low Democrats are fooling
themselves if they believe
the President is not making
some Roadway in picturing
the Democrats as a little
reckless with money. His evil
dence? His mail is running
four to one in favor Of
rather than against, as
might be supposed-a gaso-
line tax increase.

those Mr.. Bailey said were re-
jected by the ASNE.
Representative UT. Republi-
can of California, voiced con-
Germ about reporting which
did not think was objective. "
He said his criticism applied
also to radio and television
reporting.
Representative Bow, Republi-
can of Ohio, commented that
freedom Of the press should
mean freedom to print all of
the news so that both sides
may be heard"
THE people of America
haven't been given the true
picture" said Representative
Hemphill, Democrat of South
Carolina.
No specific newspapers were
named in the discussion.

Question OF Regulated. Economy


The unions contribute none
of the management skill or
energy, none Of the sales
ability, none of the technical
knowledge that makes a big
industrial company function
successfully. Yet they de-
mand that they be given a
share of the profits over and
above a just wage. They are
unwilling to abolish feather
bedding" and waste but insist
on a continuance Of such
subsidies.
II Government were to
control and If profits and
wages were regulated by pub
lie authority, there soon
would be no right to strike.
Certainly the opportunities
of a big union, through a
strike threat or work stop
page, to extort a portion of
the profits without assum-
ing any responsibility for the
sales or the earnings would
be done away with if the
Government took over. So
unqueStionably everybody is
better off under a free bar
gaining system, provided or
ganized greed can be sup
pressed by self-restraint.
There is, to be sure, no
Justification for anybody on
either side to take a mar
row view of the steel con-
troversy. 1t isn't simply a
matter of profits or wage
rates within a single indus
try. Steel is the bellwether
of the entire economy. If
steel wages go up, wages in
other industries also will go
up. Then the price of the
things the steel companies
buy will go up, too, and costs
are thus pyramided.
The whole Nation will be
affected by the kind of set
Element reached in the steel
strike. If Government inter-
venes to force a settlement
favorable to the unions and
unfavorable to the wage-price
structure of the Nation, the
administration or party
which brings about such a
result will have to take full
responsibility for another cy-
Gle of imitation.

The Republicans nationally
are feeling a small but gen.
uine lift in hope in the off,
shore breezeS blowing in from
far Hawaii.

are not madly dancing in the
streets. But they are not
quite so gloomy as they had

last test before the voters,
Move ber'S congressional
elections.
For the Republicans are
undeniably the net winners
from Hawaii's recent cleo
ton, its first as our new 5Oth
State. True, the Democrats
took two of Hawaii's three
new places in Congress, its
single seat in the House of
Representatives and one of
its two Senate seats. But
the COP. captured the real
prize, the governorship. And
Republicans took control of
the Hawaii State Senate,
which will confirm the hun
dreds of appointments to
State judgeshipS, boards,
commissions, and so on. to
be made by the new Repub-
lican Governor, William F.
Quinn.
These hundreds will form
the first entrenched political
and bureaucratic stronghold
in Hawaii. They will be there
for a long time; they will be
influential for many years to
come.
So, the Democrats have
won most of the 'honors,
but the Republicans have
won most of the SpoilS. Ha-

Big city newspapers were
criticized yesterday by several
House members for what one
of them called one-sided re-
porting of the reciprocal trade
program controversy.
The attack was spearheaded
by Representative Bailey. Dem
ocrat of West Virginia. a long
time foe of the program by
which the United States and
other nations have made mu-
tual agreement to lower trade
barriers.
Mr.. Bailey accused the met
ropolitan press of bias on the
side of liberal trade hackers
and said it gave hardly an
echo of coverage to criticisms
of administration of the trade
program.

SVERDLOVSK.-We drove
so miles through the rolling
countryside where Siberian
Asia merges with Europe.
The Urals rose to our left.
Our way went through for
ests Of birch, fir and tall yell
low pines which have tan
bark. The sun made shafts
Of light through them, and
the whiteness Of graceful
birches and the pale yellow
Of the pine trunks made the
scene one Of incredible
beauty.
The Urals are not great
mountains, but are more like
large chains of heavily for.
ested hills. Now and then
there were mountain streams
and lakes, with children
swimming or playing about
their edges.
There were old villages
along the way, with every
house made of pine logs
something like the cabins Of
early America. These are
typically Russian in design
and each was ornately dec
GRATED. They have windows
with painted designs, usu-
ally blue or white, about
them. Flower pots, too, are
in each window - usually
geraniums. There always is
a small garden and flowers
about the house. These
houses are privately owned
and the surplus vegetables
from the gardens may be
sold in the market.
Houses are neatly kept
inside. Away from the larger
cities the people are more
friendly and intensely in
terested in strangers.
1t is not unusual to be in
vited in. In Novosibirsk an
old woman whose husband
had been killed in the war
invited two of us to come in
side. She and a l7-year-old
daughter live alone. They
have one good sized room
and a little kitchen alcove.

compromise and very differ
ent in spirit from the coali-
ton product. But the House
conferees will be headed by
Representative Barden of
North Carolina, chairman of
the House Labor Committee,
a conservative whose choice
historically has been all or
nothing in labor matters.
There is not the slightest
doubt on the part of those
who tenaciously worked out
a House compromise between
the Senate bill and the coali-
tons proposals that Mr..
Barden would refuse to yieio
on any point. He has so re-
fused on similar occasions.
But the Senate conferees

Teamster Boss Hoffa-an-
other all or nothing operator
labor generally supports
these Senators. BY conviction
and self7intereSt, they would
inevitably stand firm against
Mr.. Barden.
The inevitable result would
be that no labor bill could be
enacted at this session for
the Presidents signature.
An effort has been made to
put the whole story before
President Eisenhower in the
hope of persuading him that
a bill tougher than the Sem
ate'S is possible but that the
version backed by Mr.. Hal

Bigger Supply
0fFood IsDue

An abundance Of food was
credited by the Agriculture De-
partment today with holding
the general level of consumer
prices virtually steady this
year.
A report on the national food
situation said a somewhat
lower level of food prices during
the first half Of the year had
offset increases in some other
consumer items, particularly
transportation and medical
care.
Looking ahead, the report
said prices consumers pay for
food during the remainder Of
the year are expected to con-
tinue below those of a year
earlier.
Larger Supplies Due
/ Food supplies will be some
what larger this summer and
early fall than last" the report
said. Consumer demand will
be high but retail food prices
will continue to average a little
lower than a year earlier be-
cause of the larger supplies"
A feature at food stores, it
said, will be heavy supplies and
lower prices of pork. Small in
creaSeS in beef and lamb were
foreSeen. Larger supplies of
eggs and turkey than a year
ago were forecast for the fall,
but less chicken was indicated.
More Fruit Likely
Supplies of dairy products
are expected to be adequate.
Somewhat more fresh fruits
and vegetables are expected
this summer and fall than a
year ago. Food FATS viii con-
tinue in heavy supply. Supplies
of Watermelons will be smaller
than a year ago, but about
average.
The lower level of food prices
has been reflected, the depart
ment said, in lower returns to
farmers.
Consumers, on the other
hand, were said to be enjoying
incomes higher than a year ago.
with consumer incomes
likely to continue at a high
level, consumer demand for
food and other goods and serv-
ices probably will be a record
high" the report said.
