3 CJatioinial Welffaire ovetni as Reason) For Citdsds Pelay By William C. Smock PITTSBURGH, Jan. 24-VP)-The U. S. Steel Corporation and the ClO-United Steelworkers agreed tonight to extend present contracts of all "Big Steel" subsidiaries until April 30 to gain additional time to work ont a 1947 agreement for some 170,000 workers. A two hour morning meeting, first to be held on a new contract, ended with the ! union presenting its 15-point pro OtP gwps TO) ODDS Down in Georgia you have a vivid illustration of the virtue of "checks and balance?-'' as a part cf the machinery of democratic government; only I use the term in a strictly literal sense. Bv conventional coup d'etat Herman Talmadge seized the governor's office and the execu tive mansion. He used the mili tary to set himself in power, the national guard responding to the order of his appointed adjutant general. By similar show of force he evacuated Gov. Arnall from his desk in the corridor of the state capitol. Thus in Amer ica we had a repeat performance of the traditional meany of seiz ure of power: use of the armed force. . But what threatens to bring the impasse of two claimants to the governorship to a showdown is the action of the Fulton. Na tional bank of Atlanta in refus ing to cash checks drawn on the bank against the Executive ac count of the state of Georgia. The "balances' are in the bank; the "checks" will not be cashed until the bank knows whether the drawer is legally qualilied. This is a question the bnk will ask the courts to decide. This makes a two-pronged ap peal to the court. Gov. Arnall in stituted action which ha been continued by Lt. Gov. Thompson who claims the office, against the "usurper"' Herman Talmadge. The latter has said he would abide by the decision of the court. The j move of the bank put real teeth In the test case because a usurper can t operate long unless he has , access to the moneybags. No bank will ca.-h checks and no state treasurer will either for fear of personal liability. The treasurer's bondsmen would cancel his bond if he played loo.-e with state money. Thus we have "checks and balances" operating in a new way to offset arbitrary seizure of power. They serve to strengthen j mightilj- the arm of the judiciary, as another safeguard against, such usurpation, even when sup-' ported by the military. j Herman Talmadge has a claim! he was elected by the legisla ture, which has certain constitu-j tional powers. He should havej trusted his case to the court and j not crashed the door to the gov- ernorship by the use of armed 1 force. It is a comfort to the rest' of the states to know that the final deciion will! be made by the cou't and not by military, might. We don't lijte that in this . country.

J Animal Crackers By WARREN GOODRICH "And this is for learning to subtract." l)G CKKlf Sun Synhcatt It gram to the steel representatives headed by John A. Stephens, vice president in charge of industrial relations for U.S. Steel of Dela ware. The present contract ex pires Feb. 15. A year ago 750,000 steelworkers struck, asking a $2-a-day wage increase. That strike was settled by an 18i-cent hourly boost which was adopted by industry generally I Philip Murray, president of both j the CIO and the United Steel -I workers, announced the extension, saying it was proposed by man ; agement. He added that similar extensions with other steel com panies probably would be made early next week. "The union agreed to this course of action,'' declared Murray, "be : cause we believe that real collec : tive bargaining requires complete i discussion of all points. During , such discussions the public should not be kept in a state of appre hension. We likewise understand some of the problems confronting managc-ment, such as their uncer tainty as to their liability in portal-to-portal suits." Benjamin F. Fairless, president of U.S. Steel, also issued a state ment in which he said: "The proposal was made and accepted because of the desire on the part of both parties to make a contribution to the national welfare. This action assures con tinuity of our steel operations un til April 30, 1947." Death Penalty Possible in Kidnap Case LODI, Calif. Jan. 2 4- .41 -Pol ice revised their description today of a man suspected of kidnaping Alice Dean Devine, 17-year-old Lodi high school girl, and Dis trict Attorney Chester E.

Gen. Philip B. Fleming, director of the office of temporary controls. Fleming told reporters, after a call on President Truman, that his office has directed regional OPA offices to "liberalize" rent in "hardship cases." While stressing that this does .' not mean a break in the general I line of rent controls, Fleming said: i 1. Any doubts as to the' need ! of raising rents in a hardship case imust.be resolved in favor of the ; landlord. , 2. Local costs will be the meas- j uring rod as to whether rents are too low. 3. The new order is designed to correct local situations where rents of some properties are lower, than those of similar properties in the same area. President Truman as late as yesterday re-affirmed that he fa vors continued rent control. Max McCullough, commissioner of price administration, said reg ulations are being eased to enable 1 a greater niimber of landlords to apply for increases on the basis of hardship. !

Oregon, Saturday Morning. January 25. 1947 Bill Hits at Hotel Fire Menace BY WENDELL WEBB ' Managing Editor, Ttve Statesman New legislation designed to thwart hotel fires, renew drivers' licenses, widen county roads and increase veterans' loans was in the hopper of the 44th assembly today. The proposals were among the 50 new bills, equally divided be tween the senate and house, which reached the legislative floors Fri day prior to the weekend recess until 11 a.m. Monday. Probably th most controversial measures were those dropped in the house, including a bill by Reps. Robert Bennett and Paul Hendricks which would compel the enclosing of stairways, eleva tors and other shafts in all build ings other than private residences within the next three years, to prevent spread of fires. License Renewals Ret The house measure for renewal of drivers' licenses proposed that 33.000, starting with 5R1 and con tinuing in numerical order, be acted on each month starting next July 1. with subsequent renewal due every two years. Other house bills would double the legal limit for school district bonded debt, increase from 30 to 50 feet the minimum width of county roads, increase veterans' loans on property from $3000 to $5000. give veterans financial aid for study outside of schools and colleges, elect county central com mitteemen in primaries, and limit daily n o n - commercial smelt catches to 25 instead of 50 pounds. Increased Ians Asked The senate, too. had a new vet erans' bill to increase property loans from $3000 to $6000 and unemployment compensation mea sures increasing benefits to $25 for 26 week, eliminating the waiting period and extending jur isdiction to employers of only one person.

Final action taken by the senate Friday Included passage of the house bill to let the restoration fund accumulate $100,000 instead of $50,000 a year, to up the state's bark-log of fire insurance. The house passed three admin istrative workmen's compensation bills, one of them providing that the commission must approve wages for relatives of employers, as basis for payment to the in dustrial accident fund. Truck Bill Ready A favorable committee recom mendation prcbablv will bring to the house floor Mondav the bill to make permanent the larger war-time limit on trucks.

Both the senate and house were ahead of the last biennium in new introductions by the end of the second week. The senate had 101 new bills, compared with 73 at this period In 1945, and the house had 119. agaiast H2 two years ago. The present total of 220 for both bodies represents probably one-fourth of those expectable for the entire 44th sesison. (Analysis of bills page 2.) POTATO GOAL REDUCED WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 -(JP) In an attempt to avoid another potato surplus, the agriculture department today cut this year's planting allotment 152.800 acres below a previously announced goal of 2,669,800 acres. Th main question !n legisla tive halls involved 13 school dis tricts, all in eastern Oregon, which would be left out of the equalization feature of the bill because the total of their millage. grants aids would exceed the 75 cent a day limit for each day's school membership. However, all these districts would receive help under grants and aids based on $450 per teach er employed and 10 cents for each day's membership of resident pu pils estimated at $460,000. Another point causing much discussion ouUide the assembly halls centered on the provision that many districts are going to have to ask special tax levies in addition to benefits under the proposed law. steamau FflJE Talmadge Pleads for Support I ATLANTA, Jan. 24 -(A)- Her i man Talmadge assailed his oppo i nents tonight as creators of "plan- . ned confusion" and appealed by ' radio to his father s old-line fol ' lowers to back his claims to th . disputed governorship of Georgia, j I laimaage oougni raaio time with personal funds to attack for mer Gov.

They want to break down the , functions of government." Talmadge reiterated his prefer- ' ence for a special election to set- tie Georgia's gubei natoi lal mud-1 die.
