Hardships Hit Steel Strikers PITTSBURGH ( Phillip Mur ray's striking CIO United Steel- workers are beginning to show signs of financial hardship as the 18 day - old walkout bites ever deeper into the national defense program. Waller Klis, president of a big steelworkers' local at Jones and Laughlln Steel Corp. in Pittsburgh, says several requests for financial assistance have been received from steelworkers' families. The powerful union does not pro vide strike benefits. However, most of its locals are reported in healthy financial condition and ready to aid any hardship cases. The USW was offered a loan of 10 million dollars by President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers. Murray has not commented pub- licly on the offer but some kind of answer is expected soon. In the 1949 steel strike, Lewis made a somewhat similar offer which Mur ray did not accept.

(Continued from Page One) son about the inconsistencies of the red position on this exchange of prisoners business, communist General Nam II blandly accuses us again of Incessant atrocities and slaughtering of war prisoners. He'd change his tune if we were strong enough to handle him. That brings up the $64 question: Why are we fighting in Korea? The only intelligent answer, I think, is that we're fighting there to prove to the communists that we can't be bluffed. But it Is be coming fairly plain that the No. 1 reason for our prisoner trouble on Koje island is that we HAVEN'T MEN ENOUGH to man the fight ing lines and handle 170,000 prison ers of war at the same time. It looks like we'd better GET men enough there to handle the situation. Otherwise, we may lose everything we're fighting for in Korea. , More harping on the same string: General Rldgway (our new SHAPE commander In Europe) arrives in Rome today for a con. forence with Italian officials. L'Unita, the communist newspc per, greets him with this big, black headline: "Get out of Italy! GO HOME, foreigner!" It's Rugged. It's mean. It's nas ty. But It's GOOD PROPAGANDA. Suppose a foreign nation was in practical control of our country. Suppose its troops were quartered among us and its officials were occupying all our best hotels and filling all our best restaurants. Suppose thoy had more money to spend than we have. Even suppose that without their help we'd go bankrupt. We wouldn't like it. We'd RESENT IT - bitterly. Well, that's our position in Italy. It's our position In France. It's our position all over Europe. The com munists are very, very shrewdly taking advantage of it. When it comes to propaganda, they're super-smart. Meanwhile, this from Camas, Washington: "W. L. Howard began his third day atop a 50-foot pole here this mornins. He says he plans to break the national flagpole sitting record of 163 days. If he does, he will be on the small platform at the top of the pole until well into November. "He says he won't shave or cut his hair until he comes down."

Sports-Minded j Veteran Makes Good On CI Loan National magazines and other publications have singled out a Pacific Northwest World War II veteran for i lot of publicity re cently because of his success in building a G.I. business loan Into a thriving sports enterprise. He Is Ray E. Egner, of Belle vue, Wash., a 35-year-old former Army man who pooled his sav ings and a G.I. loan five years ago and has since paid off his loan in full, replenished his bank roll and had to expand his store several times over to handle his increased business. Egner's store is now the center of sports activities for the Belle vue arpa, located across Lake Washington from Seattle, a pros perous business based on service to the community as well as dol lars and cents. He was fortunate, back In 194T, in locating a fine corner stora in the brand-new Bellevue shop ping square but that's about as far as luck went toward insur ing success in business. The rest took hard work, imagination and more than a few anxious mo ments. He invested his entire savings of $5,500 in sporting merchandise, and borrowed $3,000 under the G. I. Bill with the Veterans Administration guaranteeing half the amount. A graduate of the University of Washington, Egner served as a lieutenant In the Army during Wnrtd War II. Before entering mil itary service, he held jobs as clerk in a sporting goods store, buyer of sporting goods and as sales man for a wholesale sporting goods company. Egner is one of 184,000 World War H veterans in the nation who have obtained G.I. business loans amounting to half a billion dol lars. More than one third of them, the VA reports, have paid their loans back in full. Saturday, July 5, Set As Holiday By Gov. McKay SALEM I Gov.
