At Week's Close
N::W YORK, July 16. UP)
SA1 spots in the nation's econ
civ were harder to find this
week.
They still were there. Produc
tion was down; retail sales were
off; unemployment crept ahead
although employment remained
high.
But declines In business activ
ity weren't having it all their
own way any more. The advances
were becoming Increasingly evi

months of confusion and uncer

Stock Exchange did Itself proud.
It advanced to a seven-week high.
About a billion dollars was add

shares listed on the New York
Stock Exchange.
Down along Wall Street they
figured that was only a little short
of miraculous In view of the
threatened steel strike.

who worried about the threatened
walkouts. Everyone was kept on
the anxious seat most of the week.
United States Steel corporation,
largest of the nation's steel pro
ducers, was the last to acceDt
President Truman's 60-day peace

"Big steel's" acceptance bore
the proviso that a fact-finding
board's recommendations would
not be binding.
It was a reluctant accenfnncp
and It came only a matter of hours
before the midnight Friday dead

But It did the trick. Any chance

Vast divisions of black and yel

worms form the greatest potential
danger to these crops this year In

They hatch from eggs laid In
alfalfa. When a field is infested

By Pass Taft-Hartley
The President, relieved by ac
ceptance of his peace plan by
big and little steel firms, won
something in his exchange with
the industrial giants. He was
able to by-pass the Taft-Hartley
act in dealing with a major labor
crisis.
The three-man board has un
til August 30 to make its settle
ment recommendations to the
White House. The truce is to
continue to Sept. 14.
The board will have to weigh
Murray's wage demands, report
ed to be a suggested 20-cent hike.
On top of that, however, Murray
wants $150 monthly pensions for
retired steel puddlers, and a group
insurance plan.
Some companies say Murray
can't talk about pensions until
contracts expire next April. So
Murray and CIO General Coun
sel Arthur J. Goldberg will have
their toughest job trying to
prove to the fact-finding L-ard
that the union has a legal right
to demand a pension plan now.
What steel does this summer
on the wage question most likely
will influence pay demands in
the auto and coal Industries, and
eventually scores of other major
production lines.

Senate Sidetrack
Of Recovery Bill
Said Possibility
WASHINGTON, July' 16.-UP)
Senator George (D.-Ga.) said to
day the Senate may side-track
President Truman's $1,450,000,000
foreign military program and,
Instead, authorize the army to
furnish arms to Europe from sur
plus stocks.
This move could be made by
resolution, George told reporters
without taking formal action on
the disputed arms program.
The veteran Georgian said the
plan is not yet under active study
but it is one of the possiblities
in sight to achieve an Atlantic
defense against possible attacK
from Russia. He added he has
grave doubts congress- will act
at this session on the president's
proposed arms plan. ,
George's statement came as
foes of the North Atlantic treaty
counted on il certain votes
against ratification of the pact.
Four other senators were list
ed as doubtful and their friends
said they may go In either di
rection. The show-down will, come on
the final vote next Thursday.
And Senate leaders saw little
chance of any important -change
of sentiment by then.
The opposition total is far
short or tne cw votes needed to
defeat the pact if all 96 senators
cast their ballots. The treaty be:

Kaufman's conduct of the Alger
hiss trial in lew xorK. .
Mr. Truman, had said he did
not . consider it a very good idea
to attempt to discredit the iudici-
ary. Some members of Congress
have suggested a Congressional
Investigation of the jurist's con
duct. "I am shocked," Ellsworth said
in a statement, "at President
Truman's statement to the effect
that members of Congress who
have asked for an investigation
of Judge Kaufman's conduct- in
the Hiss case were attempting to
discredit the judiciary.
"The president should know
that the Constitution itself places
upon Congress the duty of estab
lishing courts and of disciplining
those judges who are guilty of
Improper conduct.
"If discredit has been brought
upon the judiciary, it was done
by Judge Kaufman and his ac
tions, and not by members of Con

Is, of course, consistent with his

America-British
Friendship Stake
Of Young Love
LONDON, July 16. UP) Can
young love break up American
British friendship?
The London Daily Mirror says
today that U. S. Ambassador
Lewis W. Douglas is afraid it
might if Princess Margaret and
his daughter Sharman should
fall for the same man.
So, Columnist Noel Whitcomb
told his four and one-half million
readers in today's paper, Shar
man has had orders to stay home
more than she has in the past.
"Not that Princess Margaret
minds about a spot of lendlease
in reverse as far as her dance
partners are concerned," said
Whitcomb, "But I hear that Mr.
Douglas has had an uncomfort
able feeling that both girls might
end up with a preference for the
same young man, which would
be awkward."
' Both girls were already In the
news this week.
Word got around that they and
10 other girls danced the French
can-can at a party for 250 peo
ple In the ambassador's house the
other evening. That's the dance
where the girls fling up their
skirts to show laoe-trimmed pan
ties. '
Both Margaret, 19, and Shar
man, 20, have been seen out with
the same men notably the Mar
quess of Blandford and the Mar
quess of Milford Haven. But
there's been no indication either
was serious about them.
The Mirror says Sharman is
passing her time at home making
tapestries ''not without some
protest."
