spectators packed into Red
Square.
Stands Erect
It was Stalin's first public ap

Russia's Supreme Soviet parlia

cream-colored marshal's summer
uniform. Diplomates remarked
on the springiness of his step
as he mounted to the parapet of
the mausoleum.
Stalin stood erect throughout
the hour-long military parade
and the mass civilian demonstra

last of the soldiers had filed past
the reviewing stand, a crowd
estimated at. 1,000,000 to 2,000,

The colorfully dressed civil

and more private and semi-private
service demands.

Control Proposal
Portland The state legislative

vide ior a f i v e - m a n board
appointed by the governor to

Cloud seeders would have to
post a liability bond and have
a permit under the bill, and Day
suggested, that the minimum bond
be set at $10,000, with a maxi
mum of $200,000.
Plan Further Study
Permit fees would be used to
conduct further study of weather
control, Day reported. The state
engineer and stale director of
agriculture would be members
of the board.
The interim committee held
a hearing in Medford recently,
at which time they heard testi

Full-Scale Meeting
Panmunjom, Korea (U.R)

the meeting. It will be held at

The truce meetings have been
recessed at Communist- request
since Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy,
chief U.N. delegate,- on Monday

II a proposed "over-all" solution
to the armistice deadlock.
The Allies assumed that the
Red proposal for a meeting Fri

Government Wins
Another Round
In Court Battle
High Court Action
On Seizure Awaited
Washington (U.R) The gov
eminent won another round
Thursday in its court battle over
the steel industry seizure and
hinted that it may make a price
concession to the companies in
an effort to end the steel strike.
The legal victory came when
the U. S. Court of Appeals re
fused, 5 to 4, to bar the govern
ment from increasing steel wages
until the Supreme Court acts on
the seizure case.
Settlement Seen '
At the same time, Secretary
of Commerce Charles Sawyer,
nominal "boss' 'of the seized in
dustry, said he thinks there is
"enough leeway on all fronts"
both wages and prices to get
a settlement of the steel dispute.
Sawyer also said that he was
confidenLJhat the 650,000 strik
ing steelworkers would not long
strike against the government.
Although the appeals court
ruling left the government free
to impose a wage increase, Saw
yer told a news conference he
will do nothing about it in the
next day or two In the hopes
that the steel companies and the
CIO Steelworkers union can re
sume negotiations. He urged
them to renew their wage talks.
May Stretch Regulation
Sawyer hinted at his news con
ference that the government may
be willing to stretch the so-called
Capehart regulation- to give the
steel industry more than the per
missible $3-a-ton price increase.
He said the Capehart regulation
Is "elastic, as you know."
He said he understands that
Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall at
one time offered the Industry a
$4.50 price boost under the
Capehart regulation.
Sawyer s remarks about new
wage and price talks led to
speculation that Mr. Truman
himself might issue a call for
resumption of negotiations be
tween the union and the In-:
dustry.
Court Rejects Attempt '
The- appeals Aurt rejected In
dustry's attempt to bar a government-Imposed
wage increase
after acting Attorney General
Philip B. Pnrlman told the court
that "if it .adn't been for this
very motion- by industry the
men would be back at work this
morning."
The steelworkers went on
strike Tuesday immediately af
ter Federal Judge David A. Pine
ruled that Mr. Truman's April
8 seizure of the mills was il
legal and unconstitutional.
Order Stayed
Wednesday morning. Pine
signed an order directing the
government to return the mills
to their owners. But Wednesday
night the appeals court stayed
the order, temporarily restoring
government seizure until the
government appeals Pine's rul
ing to the Supreme Court.
Thursday morning, the steel
companies went back to the
Court of Appeals and asked It
to modify its stay order so as
to forbid the government to im
pose wage Increases while the
mills are under federal control.
