Big Steel" 'Had Steel Prices
S&el labor costs -ft-ere to go up an estimated
20c an huf en Tuesday July 1) .
oU. & Steel "Big Steel" to the industry
will probably continue this year to play its tradi
tional role of price bellveth-jr of the trade. Jones
won t raise prices unless u. o. aieei uues. a
price bikfe nnunced by small AJan Wood Steel
for Jjil 7 is generally viewed as only a trial bal
loon On the ve of the July 1 rise in steel wages,
autojnc uidtf the three-year labor-management
contrtct signed after the.1956 strike, the big
qustpns appealed to be, when would a price
rise coJfte and how much would it be? In general,
steal price increases follow steel wage increases
lifce the n&ht the day. As recently as a few weeks
fego, it liad been generally conceded that .this
ycji s wn au'Ji jjuce iascs wuuiu vuiiie annuel
simultaneously.
ATTENDING. the mid-May general meeting of
the American Iron and Steel institute in New
Yoii:, major producers had been almost unani
mous. Arthur B. Homer, president of Bethlehem
Steel, said: "If wages go up, prices must go up."
Charges M. White, Republican Steel chairman,
declared: "The price increase should.be about
$11 a ton, because that's what the cost increase
wgl be."
A very. C, Adams, president of Jones and
Laughlin, als'o looked for higher prices. He noted
that "some companies operated in red ink during
the first quarter and many others failed to cover
heir dividend." Only Roger M. Blough, chairman
of pace-setting U. S. Steel, was more cautious:
"The customer problem and the competitive prob
lem are weighing veiy heavily in the situation at
the present time."
rIEN the roof caved in. U. S. Steel on June 19
said cryptically; "The only point we have
rgacgied to date is not to attempt to change our
prices until the situation clarifies itself." And
it wired Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) on June
26 it could "forecast" the "timing" of the clarification.
The usually reliable Iron Age has predicted
no price rise now. The increase would come, but
a little iater-r-before September "unless steel
IfthiGr decides to pass up what it has coming."
Steel labor already was on record. President
D&tid J. McDonald of the United Steelwovkers
d J&jneriea at a news conference on May 14 had
rrjfcted. outright any suggestion of foregoing
automatic July 1 wage increases. And labor, man
ajfemejit, and government had cold-shouldered
proposals that a wage-price moratorium be work
ed out at ft. White House conference.
aNE jadustry rule-of -thumb is that each penny
Boost, in homlv waccs calla for a 20e-rr-tnn
price iiicrtase. Oa that basis a price increase now
of something jftor than $4 a ton subject to cost

Stock Market and Recovery
The Stock Market, until its drop on Thursday
Jure 19, hd exuded optitiism. The market at
any particular time is supposed to reflect not so
much the economig situation at that time as the
outlook some months ahead.
J that supposition is correct, stocks are antici
pating an end to the recession before the end of
the year. And there are those who maintain that
hard-headed, nose-on-the-frail buyers and sellers
of securities have better first-hand "lowdown" on
what lies ahead than do the economists with their
index nunfbers, graphs and charts of what was
what several weeks ago.
f OING back onfy to World War II, stpeke ac
tually weat up during the first post-war re
cession in 1945. Everybody knew that the let
down was only the inevitable breathing spell for
readjusting from a war to a peace economy.
During the recession of 1948-49, stock aver
ages stayed almost unchanged. Everybody expect
ed the slow-down to be short-lived, and the Mar
ket started up three months before business activ
ity did. But in the 1953"recessiorr stocks began to
drop some months before industrial production
began to drop, in turn beginning to rise almost a
year before production really began to rise.
In the present recession stocks started to slide
late in July, 1957, several months before the in
dustrial production index turned down, and be
gan their present rise in mid-April. By rrrid-June
the Dow-Jones average of 65 stocks was, only 8
percent lower than on July 18, 1957 (industrials

Affeinit Inttrvenlion .
. There is a certain vague
ness, perhaps deliberate, in
what President Chamoun of
the Lebanon has been allswed
to let hhnaelf
think about
Amerioan mil
itary commit
ments. He is
said to think
that if he asks
for British

WaUr Lippmmaa ing faile(j tQ
get U.N. armed intervention,
we are in honor bound to send
in the Marines and the para
troopers. It is very hard to
believe that London and
Washington have really put
themselves in a position
where Mr. Chamoun can de
cide to make us take part in
the Lebanese fighting. Such
a delegation of authority to a
foreign politician, who is not
even sure of the loyalty of his
own army, would be so im
prudent that one cannot im
agine President Eisenhower
and Secretary Dulles, making
it.
. If we had made such a
promise, it would be beyond
anything ever contemplated
in any of eur many pacts, doc
trines, and declarations. For
in this case we would nna
ourselves committed to much
more than the defense of a
country which is the victim of
external aggression. We would
be committed to a particular
individual in the internal af
fairs of that country. '
The Lebanese civil war
broke , out when President
Chamoun started to amend
the constitution in order to
give himself another term of
office. While the rebellion
has undoubtedly teen encour
aged and helped from Syria
and Egypt, the basic fact fs
that if the Lebanese army had
been willing to act for Cha
moun, it could have sup
pressed the rebellion. Inas
much as President Chamoun
cannot use effectively his own
army, there is on the face of
it reason to believe that the
conflict is, as the U.N. observ
ers have indicated, primarily
an internal affair.
.
HAD we promised Chamoun
to intervene if he called
upon us, we would have com
mitted ourselves to the per
sonal fortunes of one Leban
ese politician. There is no
public evidence that we have
actually done this, though it
is true that in his recent press
conference, Mr. Dulles did
say that we might intervene.
As against this, we mast

assume that in supporting Mr.
Hammarskj old's efforts, we
are acting in good faith, not
merely trying to take back a
promise that we' wish we had
never given. Now the U.N.
action looks towards a nego
tiated settlement of the civil
war, and any settlement
would, in the nature o the
issues, involve the departure
of Mr. Chamoun. We cannot,
therefore; be pledged to Mr.
Chamoun personaUy.
NO ONE; I submit, lias any
reason to be tmbaiTassed
and to becom apologeuc if
be opposes an Anglo-American
intervention in the Lttoen
ese civil war.
It is said that if Chamoun'a
administration ia overthrown
and ii replaced by one which
is no longer pro-Western but
is pro-Nasser, there will fol
low the collapse of the West
ern position in the rest of the
Arab, perhapa even the rest of
the Moslem, world. Since this
will happen if we 'do not inter
vene to save Chamoun, we
must act or we must lose
everything in the Middle East
and beyond.
The trouble with this argu
ment is that if intervention is
attempted, as at Suez in H5,
and if the intervention fails,
the Western position in the
Middle East and beyond will
be much worse than if, in t
negotiated settlement, Cha
moun gives up the three re
maining months of his consti
tutional term of office- Now,
there is no certainty that in
tervention would be success
ful, and I find it ominous that
no one who favors interven
tion has ever ventured to say
what the .Marines and the
paratroopers would be told to
do when they landed in the
Lebanon, and how, once in,
they would be able to come
out again.
PRESUMABLY, the objec
tive of the Marines and the
paratroopers would be to seal
the Syrian border, an opera
tion which would require the
pacification of the rebel areas
behind the border, which are
at least one-third ef the coun
try. This would amount to
the military occupation of the
Lebanon. There is no reasoa
te suppose that the rebels
would lie down and surren
der. There is every reason to
suppose that they would wage
guerrilla . war, and that the
United States Marines would
find themselves -in the same
kind of underground war
which the French army has
been fighting for several years
in Algeria" ,

On the oae
hand, he has
Jews Mara ieu Adams xo
manage his own defense. This
has necessarily meant that
his defense has been badly
managed, although Adams and
his subordinates of the Whit
House staff have taken cer
tain defensive measures of an
important kind.
The White House staff, for
instance, successfully imposed
Roger Robb as the chief legal
advisor of that artist in friend
ship, Bernard Goldftne. When
Goldfine makes his grand ap
pearance before the Harris
Committee, he will -therefore
be guided (to the extent he
can be guided) by the man
Adm. Louis Strauss chose as
chief proscecuter" of Robert
Oppenheimer. Again the
White House staff has had no
difficulty in producing a
counter-fire of news stories
about government favors
asked for constituents b y
Democratic members of Cpn
gress. BUT there are other things
Adams has . not been able
to pass his own case in review
with the Republican leader
ship in Congress and in the
country. He has not been able
to ask men like Sen. WUliam
Knowland to stand by the
President, when the issue at
stake was the President's wish
to stand by Adams himself.
It never seems to have oc
curred to the President that
if he was going to stand by
Sherman Adams,, he alone 4
could rally the Republican
party's lieutenant generals
and major generals in support
of their general-in-chief. This,
he seems to have felt was just
another matter for his taf
to take care of. As a .result,
Vice President Richard Nixon
is just about the only Republi
can of an eminence, outside
the White House, who hss
spoken up for the President.
And it is known that Mion
did so on his ewn notion.
fN THE other hand, the
" President has not merely
left Sherman Adams, to men
age his own defense. He has
further asked Adams to sit
in judgment on himself, in
just the way that Adams sat
in judgment on' Hef&lfl Tal
bott and all the other officials
of the Eisenhower Adminis
tiation who have been charg
ed with excessive imprudence
or actual impropriety.
In one aense.it wag inevi
table that Dwight D. Eisen
hower should leave Sherman
British-American forces would
be able to wage a self-contained
war of pacification up
to the Syrian border. Even if
the Russians keep quiet, or
just concentrate on Poland
and .Yugoslavia, the Arab
world from Morocco to ttoe
Persian Gulf will be at least
"as inflamed as it was in H3d
during the intervention
against Nassar.
In fact, it is difficult to im
agine how Nasser could fail
to make reprisals for this see
ond intervention, and as he
and the United "Arab Repub
lic haTje physical control of
the pipelines and of the car
nal, we must have no illusions
about this being a little local
operation. We would be strik
ing at Nasser just enough to
annoy him, just enough to
provoke him, but not enough,
as might theoretically have
been done at Suez! in 1956, to
destroy iim.
AFTER the stand we took in
the Suez affair,' we are
committed by our own acts
arid declarations to policy
of co-exisxence with Nasser.
The policy may not work. But
if the alternative is a military
intervention against him, we
are offered Enormous risks
without any serious prospects
of success.
The true alternatives, so it
seems to me, are on the one
hand a negotiated settlement
of the Lebanese civil war: this J
would mean the departure of
Chamoun and a Lebanese re
nunciation of its adherence to
the Eisenhower doctrine. Th
other alternative is interven
tion to keep Chamoun in pow
er. This would mean, so I be
lieve and greatly iear, an in
definite, indecisive, prolonged
entanglement of our forces in,
the wretchedness of guerrilla
warfare,

He could have said," in short,
that the decision in this case
involving) Adams was not up
to Adams, byt was up to the
President alone. He coujd
have told Adams to carry on
with his regular business and
forget about the Adams case,
which he, the President, would
take in his sole charge.
THIS the President has not
done, with, the result that
Adams himself has had to ag
onize over the key question:
whether his usefulness as the
President's chief-of-staff has
been or has not been fatally
impaired. This is primarily a
practical question. An auto
mobile may be orchidcolored
and have gilded door handles,
but it is still useless if it will
not run. A public officjpl may
have acted from the most in
nocent motives, but he is still
useless if his actions prevent
him from doing his allotted
job. But this question about
a man's continuing usefulness
is not a question which the
man himself car easily an
swer. It is a melancholy picture
that one gets the picture
of Adams barricaded in his
White House office, wording

on his own case, with precious

The test is to come Sun

As this is written, the Alas
ka statehood bill, after all
these" years of stalling and de
lay, has passed the U.S. Sen
ate bjs the decisive vote of
64 too20. The House of Rep
resentatives has already ap
proved it, and President Ei
senhower is expected to sign
it without delay- .
The people of Alaska are
reported to be wild with joy,
dancing in the streets, march
ing in parades ancPfilling the
sky with fireworks. Only one
Alaskan, the teletypes tell us,
is looking a bit ruefully at his
hole card. He is Gerald Wil
liams, thej territory's attorney
general. In 9 moment of un
guarded enthusiasm a while
back, he vowed that if the
stttehood bill passed he'would
pusi a peanut 120 mles from
BigSDelta to Tok Junction. "
He's wondering now, as so
many of us have in similar sit
uations, if hp enthusiasm
didn't maybe run away with
his judgment. At any rate,
he's congratulating himself
that he didn't yw toush the
peanut wun nis ntse.
UTHY all this delay in bring.

It's a long story with a short
title. The title is POLITICS,
It has been generally ex

atmosphere was friendly and
happy in spite of the locked
doors.
The high-light of the day

Domestic issues have been

come almost entirely on the
two big ones.
In the 1954 North Rhine

200 seats in the Landtag, the
Parliament.
They ran the state, with
the support of smaller parties.
But in 1956, the Socialists
engineered, a coalition with
the Free Democrats and took
control.
Adenauer's position has
been made more diificult by
the sudden death last Sunday
of Karl Arnold, deputy chair
man of the Christian Demo
cratic Party and former Min
ister President or prime min
ister of the state.
Arnold was Adenauer's can
didate for Minister President.
His death, due to a heart at
tack, leaves the party with
out a candidate for the top
post.
JENKINS
elects the two senators to
which under the U.S. consti
tution it will be entitled when
it becomes a state, they will
be Democrats. The GOP's, in
the past, just haven't been
able to bring themselves
around to the idea of present
ing their political opponents
with a couple of senators.
Why did they finally coma
through?
I wouldn't know but it
isn't impossible that in the
landslide that at the moment
seems to be impending they
are shrugging- their shoulders
and muttering resignedly:
"Aw, heck; what's a couple
more Democrats!"
AN SECOND thought, Alas
ka's attorney, general (who
has vowed to push the peanut)
may not be the only one to
greet Alaska's statehood with
a lingering shade of sadness.
There is Texas.
When Alaska comes into
the Union, Texas will have to
move over.
rpHE area of the new State of
Ala$ca is 586,400 square
miles. , The area of the State
of Texas is only . 267,239
square miles.
. That will be a hard pill for
Texans to take.
But
They can fall back on the
population figures- At the
1950 census, Texas had
7,711,194 persons. At the same
census period, Alaska had
only 128,643.
