Steel Strike Ends The 19S6 teel strike wai just about the ' tamest strike ever for this big industry. There was no violence on picket lines, very little ver bal abuse was exchanged between the spokes men for the two sides. The terms represent the usual compromise favoring the employes. The contract length will be three years In , stead of the five the companies sought The wage and benefit Increase will be 45.6 cents nr hour spread over the term of the con--act. The companies also granted a 52-week -yoff.plan (substitute for Reuther's "guar anteed annual wage") and accepted a union shop clause. Here comes the bite as fas as the consumer "i concerned: Steel prices are expected to be boosted ten or twelve dollars a ton. Since steel Is the Indispensable metal In most man ufacturing, this will contribute to higher nrices on down the line, from appliances to ...1 ..II. ,- End of the strike wiU be hailed with delight y workers and their families, though they probably enjoyed the one month's vacation In -tidsummer, and certainly by all the related '-tdustriet and workers and by shopkeepers in -iill towns. The prospect of three years of peace must be Inviting too. Exchange of Artiata Jan Peerce, distinguished American tenor, who was the first American since the war to sing with the Moscow Bolsol opers, Is back from the Soviet Union where he appeared In concerts in leading cities of the country. He praised the Russians as a "wonderful people" musically and culturally, and expressed the view that a greater exchange of artists be tween the United States and the USSR would provide "a basis for friendship of a perma nent kind." One may question whether this Interchange would be strong enough to hold war dogs In leash, for wars have broken out ' before between countries whose artists trav eled back and forth Germany and France, France and Italy. But It would promote inter national understanding and contribute to a commonalty of interest which would counter divisive forces such as economic competition or political aspiration. Tax Relief One measure providing tax relief managed to get through both bouses of Congress. That was a bill to remove the ten per cent admis sion tax on admissions to entertainments where the ticket eost is 90 cents or less. Pre viously the top limit was 50 cents. This may prove something of a boon for movie houses which have seen their patronage dwindle un der competition of television. More tax relief is provided In a bill signed by President Eisenhower which abolishes the , ten per cent transportation tax on trips from continental United States to the Caribbean, Bermuda, Latin America, Hawaii, Alaska and parts of Canada. The tax Is retained on travel to any point in Canada or Mexico within 225 , miles of the U. S. border. This tax cut should encourage tourist travel to these attractive vacation areas. Plasterera Arent Plastered The Arizona Lath and Plaster Institute, ob--lously with tongue In cheek, complains about he application of the word "plastered" to -nyone who is drunk. Inebriated, tight or oth erwise under tha Influence of alcohol. "Plaa 'r is a symbol of rigidity; a man who la in ebriated Is seldom rigid unless he happens ii be laid out cold," the institute says in de claring that "linking our trade with over-indulgence detracts from the dignity of a re spected Industry" In the off chance the plasterers are even Mightly serious In their complaint, we might "xplain that lota of words have double mean 'tgs, but each Is too closely linked to its pop "lar Interpretation to have any onus on it -.'1st because It might have an unpleasant eon notation in other guise. The Cincinnati Reds aren't Communists, for instance. A crab is a very edible crustacean, not ust an old meanle; a bar association Isn't necessarily a group of bartenders; raising cane usually has .little,, to do with agriculture. T) word "plastered," as slang, hu become too much a part of tha language to be tossed out 'now, even though we get the plasterers' point About all tha plasterers can do is see there an no plastered plasterers. Judge Carl Wimberly of tha second Judicial district told the Lane county grand jury it ' shouldn't again go into tha charges posed by District Attorney Venn, which prompts the Eugene Register-Guard to ask, Why have a jrrand jury at all if it is to be hobbled by ju dicial order? Could it be another case of D'Artagan's "One for all and all for one, from Dumas's Three Musketeers"? Thanks to mediatory efforts the dispute be tween the Metropolitan Opera company and the federation of musicians has been com posed sufficiently to let the company start on schedule, October 24, and continue through its regular season. Its suspension would have been a dire blow to the world of music as well as a costly disappointment to those from col oratura sopranos to stagehands who are on the employment rolls of the opera. The show will go on, in the same aged building on the block between Broadway and 7th Avenue and 39th and 40th streets. New York; where the Met has held forth since It opened in 1883 with Gounod's "Faust" Gladys Shields used her Coffee Cup Clat ter column in the Jefferson Review for pick ups;of Hems from old files, including several about neighbor kiddles who now are grown and parents themselves. She was considerate enough, however, not to print their baby pictures. The bill to increase postal rates died In the Senate post office committee after It had passed the House. Senators didn't want to boost rates in this election year. Magaxines mustered a great deal more opposition than appeared at the House hearings. Newspapers were quite reconciled to the proposed boost in second-class rates, but magazines with na tionwide distribution objected strenuously. An upward revision of postal rates Is sorely needed to make tha service more nearly self supporting. Threat of water shortage during the re cent heat waves caused city officials at Ore gon City to cloae the municipal swimming pool right at the time when its patronage was greatest You never miss the water 'til the well runs dry. . '' Editorial Comment ATOMIC rOWCB DELATED The House of Representatives has kiUed the Senate-passed bin to authorise a S4M.ooo.Ooe atomic power plant at the Hanford project, aa action which thla newspaper regrets. We do not enderstaod why three Oregon confreasmea voted against the bill, which would bring aa Important experiment In creation of atomic power to the Northwest. Spon sors of the bill say this power plant could make the Hanford project - self-supporting electrically, eliminating aa Important load on the Northwest power system. Power from atomic energy la coming, and the effort to expedite Its coming la worthy of govern ment help. Astorian Budget Sen. Johnson's Prevention of Civil Rights Squabble in Session End Big Help to Adlai he could have a civil rights fight and no bills. So Knowland there fore agreed to cooperate with Johnson, Thus tha lines were neatly laid when the civil rlghta bin finally came ever from the House and waa referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. As the chairman of the Judiciary Committee la Sen. James East land of Mississippi, the commit tee could be counted on to bold the bill until kingdom come un less Its hand was forced. But there were only two wave to force the committee's hand, and Johnson had already closed off both of them. By Jeeeph aad Stewart Alee WASIONGTO! Senate Ma jority Leader Lyndon Johnson of Texas has Just made Adlai Ste venson Just about the nicest pres ent that Stevenson could hope for. By remarkably astute parlia mentary tactics, Johnson nar-J- -- i rowly prevented I a raging civil I rights fight at the wind-up of I . Congress. Tbere-t by, J o a a s o a greatly Impaired the atrategy e I Stevenson's rivals, who want to use the civil rights issue t S solit the Democratic convention, and Incidentally the ranks of Stevenson'a supporters. For Stev enson, therefore, Johnson's ounce e ( prevention was worth sev eral tone ef cure. It is shocking, of course, that the trsgic Issue ef civil rights should alw ays be treated as no better till I . political f oat- earieeei bait But that is the melancholy fact. Beginning at the beginning, If the Eisenhower administration had had the faintest serious de sire to pass a civil rights bill, the bill would have been Intro duced at tha beginning of the Congressional session and push ed with maximum power there after. ( instead the Administrative, bin was ealy fierce la May, whea H had aw Feasible ehaace of get tlaf pat 1" al readblerk of a SMtbera flllbeater.

The worst moment wss when the Senate hsd to pass on the nomination of Solicitor General Simon E. Soheloff te a Circuit Court Judge- . ship. Because Sobeloff had dis pleased them by his Supreme Court argumenta en school de segregation, the more fiery Southerners wanted to make the debate on Sobeloff Into a sort of white supremacy field day, Jehaaea foresaw thai a while, supremacy fleld day weald kv vtte Senators like Lekmaa ef New York, Heaalaga ef Mlseeari aad Daaglas ef Illlaeia to stage a civil right field day.

Johnson's next hurdle wst the Republican leadership. If Minor ity Leader William Knowland of California had chosen to play . Brownell's slick trick to the Urn it, Johnson's bottling up opera tion could never have aucceeded. But President Eisenhower had personally telephoned Johnson to plead for passage of two bills he particularly wanted, the foreign aid bill and the bill to raise ex ecutive department salaries. That gave Johnson a lever. In effect, Johnson told Know land that the President could either have the bills he had aiked for and ae civil rights fight, or The normal expedleat was to offer Ibe eWU rlghta bill as aa ameadmeet to aaetber hill.

If a long, bitter civil rights de bate in the Sensta hsd generated all the uiual bitterness Just be fore the Democrstic 'convention, a repeat performance In Chicago would have been quite unavoid able. But with such civil right era as Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt and Bens, Lehman and Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota In Stev enson's corner, and with no back ground of recent bitterness to stir the passions of the conven tion delegates, the scheme to knock off Stevenson on the civil rights luaue now looks a lot less workable.

When lots of families debate whether to go on a picnic or feast on charred wieners, warm pop and gritty potato salad at home. Insurance firm statistics to the contrary, pic nics CAN be fun. Especially if a few simple precautions are taken. Of course, if you have children the odds are narrower and in many instances become downright exciting. In some families, the betting becomes quite spirited on who will fall into the river or who will swallow the first bottle-cap . . . a a a A cartoas thing Steal skates la that aohedy ever beard ef a bad aae.

Mcalcs are tort ef like baked beaas. They taste better warmed aver , a a a To have a successful picnic a set of rules should be fol lowed. Some are simple like remembering to pass the sand wiches counter-clockwise (this permits everyone to eat with the right hand while moving food along with the left). Others like making sure all the kids have their survival kits along are more complex. Advance planning is important. Food, for Instance, should be prepared at home and not at the pic nic table.

' 1 a a a A word of advice should be dropped here about the picnic table. All picnic tables, whether the creaky kind that collapse at the slightest touch or the solid kind made out of four-foot-thick logs, are all booby traps. If you're overweight and over 35 it takes nearly all your eating strength just to get seated. And, like as not, after a desperate five-minute struggle get ting your feet up and over the bench, you find you're sitting in front of the paper cups with hordes of hungry persons between you and the food. Once packed in at a table nobody can move away from the trough without kicking the good humor out of eaters on either side. And with the adults thus Immobilized, no wonder kids like picnics so well ... (CaaUaaed from page 1) Upper Colorado project was au thorized, but not the Frying Pan Arkansas project of interest in Colorado. An adverse vote in the Senate killed the proposal for a federal high dam in Hells Can yon of the Snake river. Congress did provide I2S.000.000 for Bruce'a Eddy dam on Ibe Clearwater; also til, too. 000 for Improvement of Y equina bay and river (bene ficial for Georgia-Pacific's new kraft mill on tha Yaqulna. The administration had Its hardest fight over foreign aid. Asking for M billion it was (ranted only S3.T by Congress whose members were doubtful of tha wisdom of the whole foreign aid policy. National defense on the other hand fared well. In fact Congress pushed onto the de fense department an additional S900.ooo.ooo with Instructions to spend it for mora big bombers and missiles. Tied up in controversy until the very end of the session a housing bill was finally passed which authorized construction of 70.000 public housing units In the next two years and continues the former FHA program. Federal flood insurance was - also ap proved. One casualty of the closing night wss tha bill to moderate the. tight restrictions on immi gration imposed by the McCsr-ran-walter act. It passed the senate, but Walter succeeded in blocking it in the bouse. The bouse also defeated the Senate-passed bill to spend (too,. 000,0(10 for plants to develop power from atomic energy,' Pri vate utilities fought this exten sion of public power, and the ad ministration and AFX opposed It. Another bill defeated la the House was the one for pensions for veterans of the first World War. Despite the flurry over sources of campaign - contributions Con gress took no action to limit con tributions or expense or to sup ply treasury financing of cam paigns. . Politics of course played a big part as both Republicans and Democrats Jockeyed for positions In tbe coming political battle. Committees under control , of Democrats sought to polish off Republicsn prospects with a num ber of committee reports attack ing admlnistrstion policies, with special attention to the depart ment of the interior. Party lines got all fouled up on some ques tions, such as foreign aid, with Democrats more ready to sup port the President's international program than Republicans, At for the President he fared better with the S4th Congress than he did with the S3rd. In the former he was embarrassed by purblind members of hit own party. He larked the skill for' maneuver which Is the product of political experience. In spite of his Illness he had more suc cess with his progrsm In the ses sion Just closed. For this much credit it due to his White House staff Which has demonstrated consummate skill In ita guidance of political relations. f The welkin will ring with claim and counter-claim in the coming months. The fact remains that the Stih Congress waa a very creditable one, measured by Its performance, although Its control was in the hands of the Presi dent's party opposition. ft . Jr -'I I at - Washington Mirror Vote Trading Big Factor in Hells Canyon By A. ROBERT SMITH Stolesmaa Cerrespeadeat WASHINGTON A major fac tor in the outcome of the dra matic Hells Canyon dam fight in the Senate last week was the anxiety of some southern Demo crats to trade their votes on the bill with anyone who would pledge to atand with them against the civU rights bill. Southerners found a willing taker in Sen. Herman Welker (R- I 111 1 Ida.), a Hells f , ,;-v I Canyon oppon ent, after being turned down 1 flat by Senator wsyne ra o r s e 'jD-Ore.. who : was chief spon sor of the high dam biU. And in i v '" the e a d, seven A southern Demo crats (plus Freer of Delaware) Joined Republicans in killing the Hells Canyon bill more than enough to seal its death warrant. Welker has a key post from which to mske such trades, for he is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee to which all civil righta legislation is re ferred. The committee chairman Is Sen. James O. Esstland (D Miss.l, a leading opponent of civil rights bills.

When Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) wss approached by rep resentatives of rural electric co ops in Georgia and urged to support Hells Canyon, reportedly his reply was that he would be pleased to do so if Morse would go along with him in preventing Senate action on civil rights leg islation. Morse turned him down cold. Both Incidents occurred during the week-long debate In the House at the opposite end of the Capitol on the administration backed civil rights bill, which southern lawmakers were doing their best to block. Even though it appeared certain the civil rights bill would never get through Ihe Senate, where the filibuster is the major weapon of the minority. It was the hottest Issue in the minds of most mem bers of Congress from south of the Mason-Dixon line. Serersl weeka prior to this. C.

"I'd like to help , Wayne on this one," waa the candid re sponse of one southern senator, "but down in my state there is only one issue that Is civil rights. If Wayne would be will ing to recognize that, then may be we could reach an under standing. But I know him well enough to know thst I couldn't even approach him. If I even tried, first thing he would prob ably do Is walk onto the Senate floor and tell the world that I'd tried to make a deal with him." Suffice it to ssy. Morse and his Drmnrratlc colleagues from Ihe South never reached tsa un derstanding.
