Steel Chiefs Say
Nix to Suggestion
To Cut Ton Price
WASHINGTON, W) — The steel
industry, it was reliably reported
yesterday, has rejected a sugges
tion that it cut steel prices $10 a
ton in lieu of granting a wage in
crease in the current strike situa
tion.
The suggestion was made by
Representative Chester A. Bowles
CD-Conn) in a letter to President
Eisenhower, who in turn had it
referred directly to Chairman
Roger Blough of the U. S. Steel
Corp.
Blough is said to have turned
down the idea on the ground that
in settling the monthlong strike,
the steel companies are going to
have to give the strikers some
sort of wage increase anyway.
So far the industry’s position is
that it cannot, in the public in
terest, increase steel labor costs
and thus spur inflation. The strik
ing United Steelworkers contend
that this is an attempt to reverse
traditional American economic
policy that workers are entitled
to regular sharing in profits.
Bowles told a reporter if the
industry went along with his pro
posals, he felt sure the steelwork
ers union would have to abandon
its wage increase demands in the
public interest. Bowles was the
government’s World War II price
administrator.
“The effect of a steel price cut
would help the entire economy,”
Bowles said.
“We’ve just gotten out of the
habit of cutting prices. But once
started the idea would catch on.”
With steel negotiations continu
ing in a complete stalemate in
New York, other facets of the sit
uation became known.
1. The Administration has no
intention of invokig the Taft
Hartley law’s national emergen
cy provisions at least until Sep
tember 15 or October 1. Officials
, are convinced there will be no
sizeable steel shortage until thm.
2. Secretary of Labor James P.
Mitchell, who is studying the
strike situation as a fact-finder for
Eisenhower, has conferred several
times with top figures in the steel
companies and striking union.
3. The union is convinced that
with no settlement likely the gov
ernment soon will have to inter
vene; either by invoking Taft
Hartley or by other methods.

our young people,” Kienzle’s re
port said.
He urged editors to sell the pro
fesion “to the community and to
the college and high school stu
dents who will be the reporters
and editors of tomorrow.”
Kienzle’s report was part of a
manpower study by an APME
committee headed by I. William
Hill of the Washington, D. C.,
Star.
In another discussion, a base
ball executive and an editor
agreed the public is getting better
sports reporting than ever before.
But the baseball man, George
R. - (Birdie) Tebbetts of the Mil
waukee Braves, suggested news
papers sometimes go too far in
publishing details of athletes’ pri
vate lives.
Youngsters who revere athletes
may get an erroneous impression,
Tebbetts said, if they read that
their heroes have human failings.
Success in cooperative news ex
change projects by members of
the Associated Press was reported
by a committee headed by Richard
Young of the Charlotte, N. C.,
News.
John Poulson of the Fargo, N.
D., Forum cited AP members rec

erage during the year.
Military Briefs Men In
New Safety Responsibility
JUNEAU — State officials have
received assurance of cooperation
in the briefing of military person
nel in Alaska on the new Safety
Responsibility 3 Law which goes
into effect September 1.
The pledge of cooperation was
given Governor Egan last week
by Lt. Col. Richard Wade, Army
Provost Marsha] in Alaska, on
behalf of the over-all Alaskan
Command.
Enacted by the First State Le
gislature, the law is aimed at pro
tecting the motoring public in
Alaska from irresponsible drivers.
It would require the operator
of a car involved in an accident
to show proof of financial ability
to compensate for damages in
that or future accidents as a pre
requisite to retention of his op
erating permit.
Super Highway
Work May be Kept
Up by Tax Hike
WASHINGTON, OP) — The
House Ways and Means Commit
tee yesterday voted a one-cent
increase in the federal gasoline tax
effective September 1 to keep the
super highway program going.
The extra levy would remain in
effect for 22 months.
The committee voted also to
divert to the highway fund some
of the taxes now collected on
automobiles and automobile parts.
The gas tax increase is less
I than the lVfc cents asked by Presi
dent Eisenhower, but is Estimated
to be enough to maintain the rate
of highway construction at close
to its present level for the next
three years.
The committee action broke a
long deadlock over sources of
revenue to keep construction mov
ing on the 51,000-mile network.
Although the committee on pre
vious occasions had repeatedly
turned down further increases in
the gasoline tax, it reversed itself
yesterday and voted 16-9 to boost
the 3-cent -motor fuel tax to 4
cents.
The 4-cent tax would remain in
effect until June 30, 1961.
It was estimated that the extra
highway money would allow ap
portionment to the statest of $1,
800,000,000 this year for construc
tion in fiscal 1961 starting next
July 1, and 2 billion in fiscal
1962.
The highway fund has been ex
hausted by a speed-up voted by
Congress last year as an anti-re
cession measure. At that time the
pay-as-you-go feature of the law
was temporarily suspended.
The federal government reim
burses the states for 90 per cent
of the outlays on the interstate
system.

Faubus Ready to
Call Militia for
Order in Schools
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., LP —
Governor Orval Faubus said to
day he was ready to call on the
state police and Arkansas National
puard in the school integration
situation if necessary.
Fuabus’ announcement came as
three Negro students entered Hall
High School peacefully for the
third day of token integration in
two of Little Rock’s four public,
high schools.
Faubus, at a hastily called news
conference, did not say under
what circumstances he would call
out the state police and National
Guard.
The three Negro girls were
hardly noticed when th$y walked
into Hall. Only about 10 police
men were on hand and few news
men. No spectators were around
the school.
Faubus said it was the Gover
nor’s duty to take control of any
situation which local authorities
could not handle.
Some 200 segregationists clashed
with police near Central High
School Wednesday. Police quelled
the disturbance with clubs and
later with help of fire hoses. Since
then there have been only minor
incidents, mostly involving ju
veniles. I
Faubus said he had been pre
pared to take over Wednesday
had the situation been too much
for local authorities. Faubus added
he had always been prepared to
take over in an emergency, and
“I am now and will be in the
future.”
