U.S. Attorney Quizzed
In Steel Mill Seizure
Perlman Contends
Judge
Pine Erred
In Court Decision
Legal Remedy
Claimed Available
Washington (U.R) The
Supreme Court took under ad
visement Tuesday the histor
ic question of the legality of
President Truman'i seiiure of
the steel industry.
Washington (U.R) Su
preme Court justices fired more
searching questions at Acting
Attorney General Philip B.
Perlman Tuesday as he resumed
his defense of President Tru
man's steel seizure.
Perlman started his final ar
gument before the high tribunal
by saying that Federal District
Judge David A. Pine erred in
ordering the steel mills returned
to their owners. Perlman con
tended the companies had an
adequate remedy under other
legal procedures of they were
harmed by the seizure.
Point Brings Questions
Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson
and Associate Justice William
O. Douglas questioned him on
that point.
Perlman had referred to the
Peewee.coal case decided by the
Supreme Court last term. The
court held in that case that the
government had to compensate
mine owners for financial losses
during a period of government
seizure during World War II.
"Doesn't that 'case assume the
seizure:, waj . legal?" Douglas
askcr.
"The legality of the seizure
was not involved," Perlman ac
knowledged. Then he cited other prece
dents which he said show that
where damage is done, the
government is liable in suits for
damages.
Contending that the compan
ies had failed almost completely
to show "irreparable injury,"
Perlman said that only possible
reason for alarm the industry
can have is the prospect that the
government will raise wages.
"Frankly it is proposed to
change working conditions," he
said. "That is the only tangible
basis for their fear that it will
cause them damage. It may and
it may not. If so, the resources
of the United States government
are back of any damage they
may suffer."
May Be Price Changes
"How can you say that?" Vin
son asked. "There may be price
increases, too, maybe not enough
to satisfy the steel companies.
But how are we to determine
damages? We had It in the Pee
wee case. But I don't think it
was decided.
Saying that he has no desire
'flo "pass over" anything, Perl
man insisted that in each case
the courts will determine what
damages are suffered by a seized
company. It is then up to the
government to make good, he
implied.
When Tuesday's session start
ed, Perlman had only 19 min
utes of his allotted 2V4 hours
left, but Vinson permitted him
to continue after he had used
up his time.
"Your time has been fixed,
Mr. Solicitor General," Vinson
said. "You have had 2V4 hours.
When the red light comes on you
may answer any questions that
are pending at that time."
As the red light showed, Perl
man said:
"Well, I guess I'm finished."
"Oh, no," Vinson put in.

Allies Forced Into
Talks, Ridgway Says
San Francisco (U.R) Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway said Tues
day the United Nations had little
alternative but to enter into the
Korean truce talks although .the
Allies had actually completed
their primary mission of re
pelling aggression in the Far
East.
"We could either negotiate or
refuse to and the choice is
clearly obvious," Ridgway said
at a news conference at the Pre
sidio after his arrival from Hono
lulu. Ridgway, en route to Paris to
take over the job of supreme
commander of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, said the UN
"was assigned to restore peace
in that area not to unify Korea

have a question. What do you
have to say about Taft-Hartley?"
"I have a great deal to say
about it, your honor," Perlman
said.
Has 'Grave Doubts'
"Well, proceed then," Vinson
told him, amid laughter in the
courtroom.
Perlman said he has "grave
doubts" that the government
could slop a steel strike now
with the Taft-Hartley law.
This was in reply to the indus
try's suggestion that the Presi
dent could have used the Taft-
Hartley law instead of seizing or
"that he ought to use it now.
Since the Wage Stabilization
Board already has made recom
mendations for a settlement and
since the union already has vol
untarily postponed a strike for
99 days, Perlman said. "We
would be up against the conten
tion that essentially Taft-Hartley
already had been complied
with."

Enemy Accused of
Making Violent
Propaganda Claim
Atrocities Charged
To United Nations
Panmunjom, Korea (U.R)
An Allied spokesman accused
Communist truce negotiators
Tuesday of making violent prop
aganda charges in the hope of
dictating a Korean armistice on
their own terms.
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuck
ols said the Communist delegates
apparently are acting on orders
from higher authorities in ac
cusing the United Nations of
atrocities against prisoners of
war.
Convoy Said Attacked
North Korean Lt. Gen. Nam II
spent 31 minutes of the 35-min-ute
meeting reiterating these
charges and making a "serious
protest" against the elleged straf
ing of Red truce convoys. He said
one soldier had been killed in a
U.N. plane attack on a truce con
voy Monday.
"It's now obvious that their
present course of action shows
they don't want an armistice ex
cept on terms completely dictat
ed by them," Nuckols said.
The official Chinese radio at
Peiping appeared to bear this
out. It said the armistice talks
had reached a "serious crisis"
with no settlement possible un
less the U.N. yields to Red de
mands on repatriation of prison
ers the sole issue blocking a
truce. - . ; ,.
""Radib Peiping said' the'U.N.
could save the talks from col
lapse only by dropping its "vic
ious scheme" to return only
70,000 of the 169,000 Communist
war prisoners and civilian in
ternees in Allied hands.
The U.N. contends that the re
maining 99,000 prisoners and in
ternees would forcibly resist re
patriation and it refused to make
any go back against their will.
Criminal Complaints
Filed in Court Today
Two criminal complaints were
filed this morning in district
court against Henry Fong, own
er of Kim's restaurant on High
way 99 south of Medford.
Both complaints were signed
by Mrs Grace M. Teeple and
charged "threatening commis
sion of a felony" and "assault
armed with a dangerous weap
on," on May 3 and 4. A complaint
for assault and battery was filed
against Fong on May 8 by Mrs.
Teeple with arraignment due to
day. No bond or arraignment

the two criminal complaints.
Mrs. Teeple is the wife of the

Taft Eyes Primary
In West Virginia
To Extend Margin
Eisenhower Adds
Ten Delegates
Washington U.R) Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft banked on the West
Virginia primary Tuesday to
lengthen his lead in the Repub
lican delegate race and offset a
minor loss in Monday's contests.
Supporters of Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower, Taft's chief rival for
the GOP presidential nomina
tion, hoped to salvage some of
the 16 national convention dele
gates to be named in West Vir
ginia. But Taft was assured of
five before the polls opened be
cause the Eisenhower organiza
tion failed to enter a- complete
slate of delegates.
Taft vs. Stassen
While the West Virginia dele
gate contest was between Taft
and Eisenhower, Taft was match
ed in the presidential preference
primary against former Gov.
Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota.
Eisenhower was not entered for
this "popularity contest" votev
which does not bind the dele
gates, and "write-in-" votes were
not counted.
Eisenhower won 10 delegates
and Taft won from six to eight
in state Republican conventions
Monday in Rhode Island and
Wyoming,
Harmony' Slate Beaten
The Eisenhower forces smoth
ered an attempt to elect a "har
mony slate divided between
Taft and Eisenhower. They suc
ceeded in naming' Eisenhower
backers to all eight of the slate's
delegale posts.
For Taft, this defeat was off
set in part in Wyoming where
six of the 12 delegates elected
openly favored Taft. Two were
listed for Eisenhower ajid four
were uncommitted. The Taft
camp claimed at least two and
"probably, a U four of --the - un
committed delegates, without
challenge from the Eisenhower
backers.
Popularity Said Proven
David S. Ingalls, Taft cam
paign manager, said Taft's "over
whelming victory" in Wyoming
"furnishes further proof of his
great popularity in Mountain
states which were lost by Dewey
in 1948."
'Add this great cattle produc
ing country to the important
farm states carried by Taft so
far this year such as Illinois,
Wisconsin, Nebraska and Ohio
and there can be no' question
but that the farmers of America
want Bob Taft in the While
House," he said.
Including the two Monday con
ventions, the United Press tabu
lation of delegates gave: Taft
348: Eisenhower 319, Stassen
22, Gov. Earl Warren of Cali
fornia 7, Gen. Douglas MacAr
thur 2 and 132 uncommitted.
The next Republican contests
come Friday in the Oregon pri
mary, where the Eisenhower or
ganization expects to win all or
nearly all of 18 delegates, and in
North Dakota, where Taft ex
pects to get a substantial, major
ity of the 14 named at a state
convention.
Although Taft was not entered
in the Oregon presidential prefer
ence primary, Eisenhower man
agers were nervous about the pos
sibility that he might win three
or four delegates. Eight delegale
candidates, regarded as pro-Taft,
were entered under a 1905 law
which does not bind them to the
results of the presidential prefer
ence vote.
Kefauver Due In Stale
Among the Democratic presi
dential candidates, Sen. Estes
Kefauver of Tennessee was
scheduled to return to Oregon
Tuesday In his bid for the state's
Democratic delegates. He is
pitted against Gov. Adlai E.
Steve.ison of Illinois and Su
preme Court Justice William O.
Douglas, both entered without
their consent.

Rain, Some
Storm; Lightning Hits
A howling storm roared high
over the Rogue valley last night.
It dumped a quarter-Inch of rain
as it went over, and some hail
fell during the storm, which was
described by the weather bureau
as a typical hail-bearing disturb
ance. Eugene Kooser, one of the
cloud-seeding pilots hired by the
Rogue Valley Traffic association
to prevent hail, flew during the
storm, which he described as
"the wildest I've ever seen."
Hit By Lightning
Kooser, flying a P-40 military
type fighter plane, was struck by
lightning (which "scared the liv
ing daylights out of me,, but
didn't hurt me or the plane"),
and was bounced and thrown
around by the storm.
He seeded continuously for 1
hour 25 minutes, he said, and
added that he "thinks" the seed
ing was the reason only a small
amount of hail fell during the
storm. The rain fell during the
period he was seeding and there
after, the weather bureau said.
Kooser said that his plane, fly
ing at 200 miles per hour,
"couldn't even begin to keep up
with the storm." As -he was in the
air, the cui.iulus clouds built up

Some hail fell in Medford, and
those who observed it said that
it was composed of huge stones,
some of them almost half-inch In
diameter.
Cause of Controversy
The cloud-seeding operations
by Kooser and his partner, Har
vey Brandau, have- created con
siderable controversy in the val
ley this year, particularly from
dry-land farmers who claim that
the anti-hail work has prevented
natural rainfall from falling.
Brandau and Kooser have main
tained all along that their work
does not affect rain.
In assessing the results of the
flight yesterday evening, Kooser
pointed out that of the .26 of an
inch of rain which fell during the
last 24-hour period, all but .01 of
an inch fell while he was seeding
the clouds.
"It's my honest opinion that If
I hadn't seeded last night, many
of the fruit growers of the val
ley would have been ruined by
a continuous hailstorm of several
hours duration," he said.

nationwide oil strike "should
and can be settled through col
lective bargaining."
Feinsinger abruptly halted a
formal hearing on the strike to
give the board a chance to rule
on wage settlements already
reached in the industry.
Principle Obstacle
The issue of what wage boosts
may be granted under board
rules "appears to be the princi
pal obstacle" left to be cleared
away, he said. ,
Feinsinger said the board will
rule on agreements already pro
posed and is of the "unanimous
opinion' that disputes -which are
still unresolved should and can
be settled through collective
bargaining."

Charles F. Colson Tuesday from
his job as commander of Koje
island and Indicated it will repu

Colson was returned to his
former post as chief of Itaff of
the U.S. 1st Corps in Korea.
Brig. Gen. Haydon L. Boatner,
Assistant commander of the 2nd
Infantry division, was appointed
to succeed him on Koje,
Dodd Reassigned
At the same time, the Army
reassigned Dodd, former 8th
Army deputy chief of staff, to
8th Army Headquarters. His new
assignment was not disclosed. -
Colson's transfer obviously
came about as a result of the
agreement he negotiated to free
Dodd. Gen. Mark Clark, new
UN commander, hinted that he
would repudiate it 'on grounds
it was obtained under "duress" 1
and "blackmail."
The Army in Washington said
it has asked Clark for a full re
port on Dodd's capture and the
concessions made by Colson to
free him. Clark in turn has ad
vised the Pentagon he has al
read asked 8th Army Headquar
ters in Seoul for such a report, a
spokesman in the capital said.'
The Defense Department in
Washington was forced to issue
a statement "clarifying" the
agreement Colson signed.
Erroneous Impression!
Clayton Fritchey, director of
the department's office of public
Information, issued the state
ment after the U.S. joint chiefs
of staff rushed a call to Korea
asking for an explanation.
Fritchey said Colson's state
ment "gave several erroneous
impressions." '
Colson said there will be "no
more forcible screening of pris
oners of war" at Koje, when, the
Defense -Department said, "There
never hns been any 'forcible
screening' of prisoners of war."
