Steel Strike Fails
To Materially Slow
Economy of Nation
Cleveland-(CPD -The nation
wide steel strike, which has
resulted in a direct loss of
81,400,000,000 in 27 days, has
thu far failed to materially
slow down the economy, ac
cording to Steel magazine.
The metal working weekly
said much of the slack has
been taken up by other indus
tries and steelworkers have
not yet suffered severely.
They are living on savings

ceived'in late July. It is not
expected they will feel the
squeeze until Labor day.
The trade weekly estimated
that workers have lost $270,
800,000 in wages. Company
losses were estimated at
S798.000.000 in sales and
$152,000,000 in overhead, de-
nreciation and salaries of
n o n - production employees.
The loss to the government in
taxes was estimated at $180,-
000,000.
Supply Adequate Now
A heavy inventory of steel,
adequate for at least three
more weeks of near-normal
operations, is keeping indus
trial activity high. Trouble
will come, when stocks get
out of balance-perhaps with
in a few days in isolated
cases.
Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev 's impending vis
it on Sept. 15 prompted spec
ulation that more government
pressure will be brought to
end the strike. The magazine
said some observers believe
President Eisenhower will
either exert enough pressure
fronf behind the scenes to
force a settlement or will call
for the 90-day cooling off pe
riod provided in the Taft
Hartley act.
. Steelmaking operations last
week slipped to 12 per cent
of capacity, off 0.02 per cent
from the preceding week's
revised rate. Production was
about 340,000 ingot tons. July
output was only 5,500,000
tons.
Scrap Price Drops
Steel's scrap price compos
ite dropped 34 cents to $38.33
a gross ton. The trade consen
sus is that the market will
move up as soon as mills re
sume normal operations.
Metal working companies
will spend $474,000,000 for
metal cutting machine tools
this year compared to $233,
000 last year-an increase of
more than 100 per cent. This
means an investment of $86
in machine tools for each pro
duction worker in the indus
try. The trade weekly also re
ported a new kind of porous
metal product on the way.
Fiber metallurgy, a process
developed by the Armour Re
search Foundation, is expect
ed to make possible a whole
new series of products with
diverse applications, includ
ing composite materials such
as plastics, ceramics and soft
metals reinforced by fiber
metal networks.
The new process combines
papermaking and powder
metallurgy techniques.

What Is The Law?
This column is prepared as a public service by the
College of Law, Willamette University, Salem, to
explain basic legal principles, not lo provide legal
advice. The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases,
to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for
differing facts may change the outcome.
BLOOD TEST CONSIDERED
"FAIR" EVIDENCE
John Brown crashed head
on into an oncoming car on
a busy highway. While
Brown was still unconscious
from the accident, a doctor
took a sample of his blood
to test its alcoholic content.
Results indicated that Brown
was intoxicated at the time
of the collision; and, despite
objections from Brown's de
fense, a state court admitted
this finding as evidence in
the trial which convicted
Brown of involuntary man
slaughter. After conviction, Brown
sought a review before the
U. S. Supreme Court on the
ground that admitting the
blood test deprived him of
"due process of law" as guar
anteed by the 14th Amend
ment. His defense argued
that the manner in -which the
evidence was obtained of
fended the sense of justice.
The Supreme Court did not
agree and sustained the con
viction. Brown had hoped to win a
favorable verdict by apply
ing the doctrine announced
by the , Supreme - Court in
Rochin v. California. In that
case evidence had been force
ably extracted from Rochin's
stomach, and the Supreme
Court ruled that the method
of obtaining evidence did of
fend the sense of justice and
was not "fair".
The Supreme Court did
not find the element of bru
tality in the taking of blood
by a physician that it found
in forceably using a stomach
pump in the Rochin case.
Both Supreme Court cases
were pleaded on the notion
of a "fair trial" which is the
fundamental guarantee of
"due process of law." Both
questioned the method used
to obtain evidence, but only
in the Rochin case was the
method found not to be
"fair".
Had Brown been involved
in a federal court case, how
ever, the blood test evidence
could not : have been admit
ted. The Bill of Rights pro
tects the individual from un
reasonable .search and seiz
ure by federal agencies, and
a federal court could not
therefore admit such evi
dence. The majority of states,
including the one which tried
Brown, do not apply this doc
trine to state officials.
But when the method used
to obtain evidence is carried
to extremes, state officials
violate the "due process of
law" guaranteed in every
American court, whether
Professors Honored

Chico, Calif.; Roy and Gary
Tovnley, and Dr. D. H. Hager,
all Montague.
Time
oin- vaUV LISTEN TO THE WHEN THEIR KIDS A
state or federal. Thus state
courts cannot fairly admit as
evidence a confession ob
tained by state officers from
a man who had suffered mer
ciless beatings. The blood
test in Brown's case is a rou
tine procedure in everyday
life and therefore not "con
duct which shocks the con
science." This column is prepared by
the Willamette University
College of Law to explain
basic principles and not to
give legal advice. The reader
should never apply the law
to his particular problems.
Slight changes in the facts
may change the outcome of
