1 Tho Statesman, rVilora, Origan. Sunday, April 13, 1SS2 Senators Move To Force Probe Of Steel Seizure By Th Associated A (roup of Republican senators moved Saturday to force a Sen ate investigation of President Truman's seizure of the steel industry. They charged the action was illegal. Elsewhere on the labor front, the CIO Telephone Workers Union put eft temporarily its threat of a nationwide strike and a union peace feeler in the Western Union strike was rejected by the company. The attempt xo zorce an jnvesu- getion of President Truman's ac tion came as the government re portedly was considering giving a stop-gap- wage boost to the 050,000 steel workers in government-seized plants. Led by GOP Floor Leader Brid ges of New Hampshire, the group drafted a resolution in Washing ton to hand such an investigation to the Senate Judiciary Commit tee. That committee is headed by Sen. McCarran (D-Nev) long at odds with the administration. Due names ef Law Bridges said in a statement that "merely stating that an emergency "exists does not give any President the right to ignore Article Five of the Bill of Rights which guaran tees our privacy and our rights to due process of law. There is every evidence that the rights of the owners of the I eel mill were violated In this respect." In the Western Union strike, the AFL Commercial Telegraphers Union put out a peace feeler to reopen talks but the company turn ed dewn the offer. The union re portedly was ready to modify Its demands. Western Union said it was "not interested in any modification of such outlandish demands." The union had originally sought a boost of seme 50 cents an hour. Average hourly pay is $1.44. Service Restored Western Union claimed that more and more telegraphers were aban doning the 10-day strike. It said telegraph, money order and cable service was restored in 137 more cities and towns Saturday, raising the total to 687 where operations re normal. The union disputed the cieim. In the telephone dispute, Joseph A. Beirne, head of the CIO com . munications Workers Union, an nounced In Washington that a threatened nation-wide walkout of telephone operators had been "de ferred" because of "some move ment" by the Bell Telephone sys tem in wage negotiations. The union had threatened the walkout in an effort to force Bell systems in Ohio, California and New Jersey to meet the wage of fer of the Michigan Bell system. Michigan Bell settled its wage dif ferences with the union Friday on the basis of a 12.7 cents average hourly wage boost. Werkers Strike Sonne 43,000 telephone workers are on strike in the three states. An additional 16,000 Western Elec tric Co. equipment installers are on strike in three states. Top officials in Washington said ?rivately that the government may like steel workers wages to the point already agreed to by the in dustry. This would amount to 12 cents an hour in wages plus slightly more than five cents in fringe benefits. Present take-home pay is Just under $2 an hour. The Wage Stabilization Board has recommended a total wage boost of 17 cents, more than OJight cents in fringe benefits and a union shop. The union has indicated the possibility of a strike unless some settlement is made. Secretary of Commerce Sawyer, technically in charge of the seized industry, has said he has no pres ent intention of putting the WSB recomendations into effect. The Truman administration was said to be unwilling to force the union shop on the industry. Formal negotiations between the two sides were rescued over the week -end.

West ef Salem OB Dallas Hi-hwar 30 Publication of OPS Violators' Names Okehed WASHINGTON (JP) - Price Di rector EUls Arnall ruled Saturday night that the names of all price violators must be made available for publication. Arnall thus reversed the Office of Price Stabilization policy of keeping the names secret when the agency decided the violation was not willful or intentional. This practice long has been un der fire by chairmen of Freedom of Information Committees of the American Society of Newspaper Editors and the Associated Press Managing Editors Association. They said the OPS policy of withholding such Information was "a bad and dangerous system" that nught set a precedent and spread to other government agen cies. They said it was opposed to the "principle that citizens ac cused by the state must be open ly and publicly tried.' When Arnall took office seven weeks ago, he promised to review the policy. Now he has decided that effective May 1 the names of businessmen who unintention ally violate a price ceiling will be made available to newsmen and the public There still will be no formal announcements by OPS. The names and the facts will be en tered in an open loose-leaf book in all OPS district offices. These will be open to inspection at any time.

Her husband was one of 17 sur vivors of a crash Friday outside San Juan harbor of a Pan Amer ican 4C-4 that faltered when one engine failed after taking off for New York.

Later he was seen holding a baby under one arm and an elder ly woman under the other while he swam toward one of the rafts.
