Workers Win a Round
In the field of public sentiment, which
is pretty vital, the steel workers won a
tactical advantage over the steel com-
panies by accepting President Truman s
invitation to extend the existing contract
for sixty days, pending efforts to iron out
the dispute
This action came after U. S., Republic
and Bethlehem had flatly rejected the
President s proposal, on the ground that
it contravened the Taft-Hartley act Jones
& Laughlin, one of the leading indepen-
dents. had immediately accepted the of-
fer
Mr. Truman wanted time for a three-
man fact finding board to study the con-
troversy and make recommendations Big
Steel insisted the President was by-pass-
ing the T-H law, and refused to have any-
thing to do with the plan
Probably not even the union expected
to get all it asked for in the new contract;
both sides always ask for a lot more than
they expect to get. This is where negotia-
tion and compromise come in.
Mr. Truman's purpose was to hold up
a shutdown while the union's demand and
the companies’ response could be deter-
mined.
The nation needs a steel strike right
now about like a centipede needs another
leg A shutdown would idle about a mil-
lion men almost at once, and if it dragged
out for several weeks it would force hun-
dreds of thousands of others to twiddle
their thumbs. If it continued for six weeks
or longer, there is no telling what it would
do to the nation’s faltering economy.
The situation is therefore serious and
highly dangerous. The union leaders were
smart enough to grab at the President's
offer of a 60-day interim while a solution
was sought. While the companies’ atti-
tude may be justified as a matter of for-
mality, the precipitate rejection of the
President's appeal and the union's prompt
acceptance of it was bad for public rela-
tions for the steel companies.
Public opinion might not support a new’
round of wage raises now, but it certainly
does approve doing everything possible
to avert a shutdown of steel production.

their inquiry to the wives? We have a
pretty good idea that a poll of wives on the
subject of dish washing on the part of
their husbands would reverse the result:
it would come out 8.48 percent. Dish dry-

Breathes There a Man
The American Magazine has uncovered
the dread fact that 84 8 percent of the
2.350 husbands who responded to a poll
“confessed” that they do the dishes with
some degree of regularity
Confessed, nothing; they were just ly-
ing Ask any housewife.
Another 53 percent of husbands claim-
ed they sometimes get their own break-
fasts, 16.5 percent always do, and 38.7
percent have the know-how to whip up a
meal. (Maybe “beat up a meal" would be
more like it)
This we can believe Even' man has
two inexorable delusions. His first and
most persistent is that if he'd got the
breaks as a bov. he could have made a
greater baseball pitcher than Christy
Mathewson. Dizzy Dean or any of the other
greats. In his opinion, the American
League got a lucky break when he aban-
doned his ambition to pitch for the St.
Louis Cardinals and took up a lifetime
devotion to pocket billiards instead
The average man's other magnificent
delusion is that he is undoubtedly the most
Mr. Dulles Speaks Up
Three eminent Republicans joined in
a noisy controversy on the Senate floor on
whether adoption of the Atlantic Pact ob-
ligated this country to supply arms to its
co-signatories.
Senator John Foster Dulles, making his
maiden speech in favor of ratification, as-
serted that it was "preposterous” to say
that the pact commits the U. S. to re-arm
Europe.
Up jumped a red-faced Senator Robert
A Taft, who only the day before had de-
clared that the pact did so commit the U.
S. Would Senator Dulles. Senator Taft
wanted to know, support a reservation to
the Atlantic Pact definitely stating that
ratification did not pledge this nation
morally or legally to help re-arm Europe?
"I would not," replied Senator Dulles.
That was where Senator Arthur Van-
denberg, former Republican chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee, and
architect of the Atlantic Pact, got to his
feet. Vandenberg is not committed to the
arms proposal, but he joined Dulles in as-
suring Taft that the pact did not require
the armaments program, and that if any
such reservation were inserted it would
require renegotiation of the entire treaty
with the other nations involved.
The new senator from New York was
the target of a barrage of questions from
his GOP colleagues, including Taft and
Donnell (R-Mo)., and reporters on the
scene agreed he handled himself very
well.
If any evidence were needed that this
nation’s foreign policy is now on a bi par-
tisan or non-partisan basis, the debate on
ratification of the Atlantic Pact should be
utterly convincing. The remnants of the
old isolation group, seeking the pacts
destruction, were met and thrust back by
earnest Republican supporters of interna-
tional cooperation The presence of John
Foster Dulles on the Senate floor in sup-
port of the pact was proof that even had
Tom Dewey been elected president, there
would have been no great change in
foreign policy, for Dulles was slated to
have been Dewey s secretary of state.

Filling a Senate Vacancy

NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON - (NEA) — Young Bob Wag-
ner’s candidacy for the U. S. Senate seat va-
rated by hia father may lead to an early popu-
lar vote test on labor legislation Leading Dem-
ocratic candidate for the New York senatorial
aeat in the November election is of course ex-
Gov. Herbert Lehman, always s great vote-
fetter. Senator Wagner’s son la being barked by
union labor and liberal elements in the party.
They favor the younger man because they be-
lieve be would work harder to carry on his fath-
er's program of sorts! security, civil rights,
housing health, minimum wage snd other Isbor
reform legislation.
Republican senators interested in giving more
aid to fighting communism in China are get-
ting together figures on how much military as-
sistance should be furnished the Nationalist gov-
ernment armies. Preliminary estimates are that
the total will he something more than the $125.-
000.000 military aid given China last year, but
considerably under $1,000,000,000 This Chinese
aid program will, of course, run heed on Into
the economy drive. One proposal is to get part
of the money by chopping off the Truman ad-
munistration’s request for $1,450,000,000 arms
aid for Europe and limiting it to say France
and Greece. Another proposal is to tie Chinese
aid onto the administration request for $150,-
000,000 ald to Korea Every argument advanced
by the Mats Deportment for aid to Korea la
an argument for more aid to Nationalist China,
say the senators.

la special assistant to Defense Secretary Louis
Johnson General Kenney was head of the Stra-
tegic Air Command when the fleet B-36's were
delivered. He criticised the plane severely, in of-
ficial reporta and private conversations. The
next thing anybody knew General Kenney waa
relieved of his SAC command and given a rela-
tively obscure post as head of the Air Force
University at Maxwell Field. A footnote to this
story is that many graduates of Maxwell Field
are also critical of the B-36 and the official stra-
tegic bombing concept as outlined by the Air
Force today.
Supporters of President Truman's health in-
surance program were very much surprised
when they looked over the new Republican
health bill introduced by two senators and seven
representatives. Rep Christian A. Herter nt
Massachusetts and Jacob K Javits of New York
did most of the work on thla measure. Admin-
istration bill barkers say this new Republican
bill is the biggest concession yet made by op-
ponente of compulsory health insurance. They
see it as much closer to the Wagner-Murray-
Dingell bill than the substitute offered by Sen-
ator Taft and his cohorts.

By MARQUIS CHILDS
WASHINGTON. —What finally
got into President Truman's eco-
nomic report and the review of
his Council of Economic Advisers
is merely a small part of the vast
amount of material winnowed and
sifted. There were those, for ex-
ample. who wanted to press much
harder on the need to sustain pur-
chasing power in industrial areas
where unemployment is greatest.
The view frequently expressed
is that unemployment insurance is
today of a volume and continuity
to hold up the purchasing power
of jobless workers. Thus a cushion
of purchasing power is created
which did not exist after 1929. and
this cushion will prevent a serious
depression.
In the long debate over the eco-
nomic report that comfortable as-
sumption was sharply challenged.
The A. F. of L supplied signifi-
cant documentation to support the
charge that in state after state the
unemployment insurance- system
has been whittled down so that the
jobless find it difficult to get bene-
fits they thought they were en-
titled to get
The President s report took ac-
count of this charge, but in a
generalized way. In a brief dis-
cussion of social security the Pres-
ident declared.
"Under current economic condi-
tions. it is urgent that the unem-
ployment compensation system be
broadened and liberalized I rec-
ommend that the Congress
strengthen our federal-state unem-
ployment Insurance system by es-
tablishing minimum benefit stand-
ards for all parts of the country
and by broadening coverage.
These minimum standards should
provide benefits for 26 weeks rang-
ing up to $30 a week for aingle in-
dividuals, with additional amounts
for dependents."
Under the federal-state unem-
ployment insurance system each
of the 48 states sets up its own
system The federal government
does not impose any standards
other than minimum requirements
for decent administration.
William Green, A F. of L pres-
ident. in a letter to Federal Secur-
ity Administrator Oscar Ewing
pointed out that employers had
been given rebates of nearly five
billion dollars for stabilizing
employment as provided in state
unemployment insurance laws.
Stabilization was not difficult in
the w ar years and during the post-
war boom But now Green wants
to know what is actually being
done in the face of layoffs in in-
dustry to stabilize unemployment.
Nelson H. Cruikshank, director
of social insurance for the A F of
L. charges that under the pres-
sure of powerful lobbies many
state legislatures have utterly dis-
torted their unemployment in-
surance laws His files are full of
cases of jobless men and women
who come up against technical
regulations that make it difficult
or impossible to get insurance
benefits.
One case is that of a sheet-metal
worker in Delaware who was laid
off last September from a job
which paid $2.25 an hour. Six days
liter when hr failed to report for
a job which paid 75 cents an hour
less than the union scale he was
disqualified from benefits under
an interpretation of the Delaware
law holding he had refused suit-
able work."
In Iowa a man left his job to ac-
cept a better job After 10 full
weeks and two partial weeks of
employment in the new job he was
laid off for lack of work. Under
the Iowa law a man has to have
12 full weeks of work in his last
job before he is eligible for unem-
ployment benefits and because
this worker fell short of the re-
quirements. through no fault of his
own, by two half weeks he was
denied benefits.
Twenty - two state legislatures
have amended their employment
insurance laws to include a phrase
covering those who leave vol-
untarily "without good cause at-
tributable to the employer.” Thou-
sands are ruled ineligible for ben-
efits under this provision if they
have shifted jobs in the recent
past.
NEED TO AMEND
In his report the President spoke
of the need to amend state laws.
But the likelihood of any immedi-
ate change in these laws is not
much greater than the likelihood
that Congress will comply with
the President’s request for chang-
es in federal law to cops with the
economic decline.
The President's advisers were
keenly aware of the need to shore
up purchasing power They could
see just ahead the looming threat
of a strike in steel with its fear-
some economic potentialities

book It Is one of the basis prin-
ciples in the play of the cards.
It is true that it is not applied
on every hand, because your
partner may not always lead his
fourth best But certainly against
a no trump contract, you have a
right to assume that he has.
In today's hand West opened the
five of hearts against the six no
trump contract Declarer played
the eight-spot from dummy, and
without any hesitation East played
the king. South won the trick with
the ace. and now played West for
the queen—and the Jack of hearts
was the needed 12th trick
One of the players at the table
said to East, "Why did you put
up your king?" "I have been
taught never to finesse your part-
ners lead,” East replied. Hia
partner asked him if he had nev-
er heard of the rule of 11. "If you
had applied this rule," he con-
tinued. “you would have known
that the declarer had only one
card in his hand higher than the
five-spot.'1
Applying this rule, five from 11
is six, which means there are six
cards higher than the five-spot in
the other three hands East was
looking at two of them in the
dummy. Holding three of them in
his own hand. South could only
have one Therefore, East should
have played a low heart, and then
the contract would not have been
made

TEN-CENT MELON
Come to think about it, I once
got shot at. and darn near hit. for
eloping with a watermelon from
the farm of an acid agriculturist
who didn't think, it funny for
twelve - year - olds to invade the
sanctity of his patch after sun-
down. And at that time a water-
melon was worth about ten cents.
Since I read of Crowe’s sentence
I have been doing some figur-
ing with pencil snd paper As-
suming that he will be paroled
after one year. Crowe will be in
durance vile one day for each
$2400 and a little plus which he
helped himself to from the Na-
tional City’s piggy bank.
Had he skipped with only half
of what he did, or $441,830, he
might have gotten only half his
sentence and been a free man in
six months. Working on down, my
mathematics show that had Crowe
been satisfied with a mere $50,-
980.50 he might have been back
at home, watching the Giants on a
televiaion set In three weeks. And,
bless me, if he had been a man of
simple wants, or had used a shav-
ing kit instead of a big suitcase
In which to load his loot, snd pick-
ed up only $505, he would have
been in jail only from about nine
in the morning until one or two in
the afternoon He wouldn't even
have had time to try on a ault
for size, or select a pickax with
a handle that fit him. And, of
course had he settled for $200 or
thereabouts, hia sentence would
have been so tiny that he wouldn’t
have had time to make It from
his home in Staten Island to Grand
Central Station to catch the train
for Ossining He would have been
given his release around 42nd
Street and Fifth Avenue, probably
on the steps of the Public Library.
CAN'T FIGURE IT
Crowe could have gotten 45
years in jail. Just what cut this
down to three, 1 don't know. Did
they knock off ten years because
he didn't insist on a drawing room
coming back from Daytona Beach
Fla , where he was caught and
obligingly took a lower berth?
Was another 15 years shaved off
because he tipped generously in
the diner and didn't burn any cig-
arettes from his guards?
Could it be that another 14 or 19
years was lifted because he
expressed s strong desire to see
the Army-Navy football game of
1950?
I don't know, but I do know this:
