Fact-Finders
Map Hearing In
Steel Dispute
WASHINGTON, July 18 UP)
The fact-finding board in the
steel wage dispute organized to
day at a White House meeting.
As they did so, the White House
made public a letter Irom bamuel
I. Rosenman, one of its members,
and a former special counsel to
President Truman.
Rosenman wanted it to be made
a matter of record that his New
York City law firm is counsel to
the Rotary Electric Steel com
pany of Detroit. One of Jiis law
partners is a director of the com
pany which has a contract with a
local of the CIO United Steel
workers.
Rosenman said he had brought
this to the attention of Cyrus
Ching, federal mediation and con
ciliation director, when he was
asked to serve on the board.
"Mr. Ching stated that, in his
opinion, those facts did not in any
way constitute a disqualification,"
Rosenman's letter to the Presi
dent said. "I, nevertheless, re
quested him to bring them to
your attention before you made
the appointment, and he stated
that he would."
The three board members met
with Presidential Assistant John
R. Steelman to discuss such
things as a schedule of hearings.
With the eyes of all industry
and unions upon them, the three
members will hear arguments for
and against a fourth round of
postwar wage raises in the steel
industry,' and for and against
larger pension and insurance
plans.
Mr. Truman appointed the
three-man board, headed by Dr.
Carroll R. Daugherty, professor
of business economics at North
western university, to study the
steel dispute and make recom
mendations by Aug. 30. The oth
er members are David L. Cole of
Paterson, N. J and Rosenman.
The union has postponed a
strike until Sept. 14 at the Presi
dent's request.
After organizing, the boara an
nounced it will open public hear
ings in New York July 28.
It will meet two days earlier In
New York with representatives
of the steel industry and of the
CIO United Steelworkers to "ar
range for procedural matters.

Action Slated On
Myrtle Creek's
Sewage Problem
Myrtle Creek's sewage disposal
problem will be brought to a head
July 22, in a meeting called by
the State Sanitary authority at
Portland. City officials have been
summoned to 6how cause why
they should not be charged with
maintaining a public health haz
ard and stream pollution, by dis
posing of untreated or insuffi
ciently treated sewage In local
streams.
Mayor Leo Sanders was quoted
by the Mvrtle Creek Mail as say
ing that the action will serve a
useful purpose by giving recogni
tion to a problem which has been
vexing city authorities for some
time. The sewage disposal situa
tion at Myrtle Creek has given
rise io many complaints ana
much discussion.
Attempts to find a solution
have met with a blank wall, said
Mayor Sanders. Pre-war property
valuations are still In effect, and
on the basis of these figures
rnoney to finance a sewage dis
posal project would necessitate a
tax levy of an estimated 15 to 20
mills, according to Sanders.
The citv has rjrenared a nre.
liminary survey which shows the
extent of the needed sewer system
and disposal plant. Officials have
asked for a revision of the prop
erty assessment records to include
on the tax rolls many improve
ments made by owners since the
last review of records was made.
Myrtle Creek's city council has
also arranged for an investigation
of reported violations of local
sanitation ordinances.
Sen. Cain Raps
Exclusion Of
Spain From Pact
WASHINGTON, July 18 UP)
Senator Cain (R.-Wash.) told the
Senate today he is supporting
the Atlantic pact but he criticized
Spain's omission from the alli
ance. Cain said he did not like a
section of the treaty which re
quires unanimous approval of the
12 signers before any additional
countries can be admitted to the
alliance.
The way ought to be left open,
he' declared, for Sweden, Greece
and Turkey to join.
Contending that the pact give
small countries like Luxembourg
a veto, Cain said:
"In the years to come, for in
stance, we may well need the
friendship and military assistance
of Spain.
Are we to be denied in time
of need the help of her million
trained veterans oi war against
communists just because some
European politicians, perhaps un
der the influence of some com
munist elements, do not like the
color of Franco's nose and decide
to veto the admission of the
Spanish nation into a mutually
helpful alliance?
"I hold no brief for Spanish
dictatorship, but I submit that it
was neither necessary nor wise
thus to tie up the hands of the
United States."
Cain announced he will loin
with other senators in attempting
to amend the forthcoming arms
program to provide for an inter
national police force.
Senator Knowland (R.-Callf.)
said an effort to provide some
additional military aid for nation
alist China also may be made
when the arms program is before
congress.

I AWARDED THE FASHION ACADEMY WM MffiAl AS THE
Arbitration Favored
In Hawaii Strike
(Continued From Page One)
by the President of the United
States for the purpose of arbitrat
; the issues in dispute in the
Hawaiian strike, the striking
workers are prepared to immedi
ately call off the strike, return to
work, and accept the decisions of
such a board."
Apply T-H Law, Morte Says
Senator Morse (R-Ore) said he
agreed that the Hawaiian situa
tion is so serious as to fall within
the intent of the Taft-Hartley ct
"even though I'm opposed to
the Taft-Hartley law and the in
junction." "I believe use of the act would
create greater problems than it
would solve by breaking the
strike," Morse said.
"But if we are going to have
the law, if it is ever going to
beapplied, it should be applied
here."
Blaidsdell said the employers
have no specific recommendations
to offer. The pending bill would
apply to commerce between Ha
waii and the mainland; Blaisdell
thought any legislation should
protect only minimum commerce
between the mainland and all
territories, leaving to collective
bargaining the actual settlement
of wages and conditions.
Morse declared that he Is
against leaving the settlement
to the "law of the jungle." The
senator expressed belief that ar
bitration would be the "common
sense solution."
