When rebellion flamed in Poi
nan, an important industrial -city
in Western Poland, the Communist
government struck with its. mailed
fist. Troops with machine guns and
tanks moved promptly to isolate
the rebel bands andjhen to deci
mate them. In spite of the superior
force -of the military the rebels
held out for several days, though
J they knew only death awaited
them. It was a sudden demonstra
tion of the eruptive forces" that
exist even among those held under
the iron beel of Communism. .
The revolt in Poznan was not a
political coup d'etat, not a sudden
thrust by one faction to seize eon
tract of the machinery of govern
ment. It was an uprising of the
people, of the "workers, whose cries
were for "bread." How long has it
been since that was the battle cry
of revolution?. It as with' the
women of Paris who marched on
Versailles during the French Revo
lution. Economic distress doubtless
had its part in the Russian Revolu
tion of 1917. But most of the surges
of rebellion in modern times have
grown out of political demands, for
freedom, for justice rather than
merely for subsistence. No matter
how soon the Poznan rebels, are
wiped out, the incident itself stands
as evidence or the failure 'of the
Communist government in Poland
to satisfy the needs of the workers.
It becomes a direct indictment of
ftfc economic system.

For Shutdown
By JAMES DEVLIN
NEW YORK (AP) - Some
650,000 steel workers went on
strike across, the country early
Sunday . against; .. an industry
which, in one way or another,
affects virtually everyone in
the land.
The walkout officially took ef
fect at 12:01 a. m. although
the steel mills were already at a
standstill because of the necessity
for cooling their giant furnaces
slowly. This began two days ago.
In final statements released at
midnight, both the United Steel
workers Union and the companies
affected rapped . each other for
causing the strike.
No Date Set
Nothing was said about a new
date for efforts to work put a solu
tion for the paralyzed industry a
mainstay for the nation's econom
ic and military strength
In union statement. Pres. Dav
id J. McDonald declared:
"The responsibility for the shut
down in steel production rests en
tirely wjth the steel companies.".
U. S.-Steel, the world's largest
produces, reported that pickets ap
peared at its Gary, lnd.. Works at
S: It p. m. (EDT). A few minutes
later pickets also showed up at
the firm's South Chicago plant.
Weald Set Pattern
The twelve . major companies
closely concerned with the nego
tiations here which would have
set a pattern for the industry
said: "The only proposals that the un
ion has made have . been so ex
cessive that they afforded no real
istic basis for bargaining."
- The industry added that it too,
is ready to cdntinue talks aft any
time.
Persons close to the parties
expresses aouDt. there was any
chance of another get-together
within a week, considering the itiOrke-TasJtncreascd. j
of July and other matters. I Tire prices are jumping about
iwo nnai negotiation sessions
the last concluding just six hours
before the ' strike deadline blew
up with each side refusing to
budge as inch.
John A. Stephens, chief industry
negotiator, strode forth and told

U.S. Fiscal

WASHINGTON' ( The eov-
ernment Saturday ended the 1956
fiscal year with a prospect of a
surplus running 'around two bil

years it has come out in the black.
Further, administration leaders
let it be known they confidently
expect to balance the budget
again in fiscal 19.7, which starts
at. midnight. But, some conceded. I
increased spending and higher'
costs might upset their early year
forecast of a 1957 surplus of about
400 million dollars.
Not since fiscal 1951 has the
government rounded out . a year
with the budget in the black. That
year the surplus was a little more
than J'i billion dollars. And. a

Artillery,
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON ( -The United
States, exploiting the grave trou
bles facing Communist rulers in
Eastern Europe dramatically of
fered Saturday to hip thousands
of tons of free food into Poland.
"The reports of . serious disor
ders in Poznan, Poland, seem to
be marked by demands by the
population for bread, and" we are
informed of serious food shortages
in Poland," Undersecretary- of
State Herbert. Hoover Jr. said in
a letter to Horold Starr, general
counsel of " the American - Red
Cross.
Hoover asked Starr to determine
through the International Red
Cross whether Poland would ac
cept the gift.
("' The action
served to put the
United States in the position of
offering help to people whose
anger against their present rulers
and against Russia is said to be
' stirred in great part by .Russia's
drainoff of Polish factory' and
farm -output.

Williams said he was confident
"That we Democrats' have the
spiritual and intellectual power to
meet the challenge of the Repub

placency to the needs of the .na

The tall, boyish appearing visi
tor arrived by plane Saturday

and state party leaders including
State Sen. Robert D. Holmes, can
didate for governor, and Jason
Lee, the party's nominee for Con

state's politics with Oregon's. Re-,
publicans have dominated.. Michi

blamed this to a negative attitude

register, fail to vote.
Domestic Issues
Confining most of his remarks'
to domestic Issues, Williams
rapped the Republicans for their
power stand, farm program and
self-satisfaction. "The trouble with
