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.

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.

Jane Froman
Reunited With
Pilot-Husband
By TOM CHASE
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (JP) -After
a four-hour wait by offi
cial order, singer Jane Froman was
reunited at a hospital Saturday
with her husband, Capt. John C.
Burn, who piloted a plane that
carried 52 Easter travelers to
death in the shark-infested Carib
bean. The singer flew in from lew
York to see Burn, the central fig
ure of a tragedy reminiscent of the
1943 crash in the Tagus River at
Lisbon in which Bum saved Miss
Froman's life.
"I am very happy," she said,
after guards finally admitted her.
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.
She had been barred by order
of Dist. Atty. Zoilo Dueno Colon,
who questioned Bum about the
crash.
Burn was turned loose after be
ing held 17 hours incommunicado.
He left the hospital with Miss
Froman and went to a hotel.
The Coast Guard announced the
search has been abandoned for the
39 missing passengers. Thirteen
bodies were picked up near theJ
crash scene. Most of the victims
were Puerto Ricans.
The district attorney said guards
had been placed outside Bum's
door at Presbyterian Hospital for
his own protection. He did not
specify what from.
Bum said he was feeling okay,
but was very upset about the tra
gedy. Bum and his four fellow crew
men who also survived were
credited with saving some of the
passengers from the sea after the
big four-engined plane spilt in
two.
Witnesses said Bum helped
launch four life boats before the
forward section sank.
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.
The woman and child died a few
minutes after a Coast Guard res
cue plane hauled all three aboard.
Coast Guard Capt C. A. Ander
son said the surface search for
bodies has been called off, but
