Hi lnaicaiea inn ine acmuoii- Reuther Joins in Criticizing Action Of Steel Companies Detroit tUPI) Walter Reuth I er, president of the United Auto Workers union, joined ! President Kennedy Thursday 1 night in criticizing the action ! of the U.S. Steel Corp. in raising prices $6 a ton. ' Reuther, in a letter to the President, termed the steel ; firm's action a "sneak attack on price stability-the econo ' mic Pearl Harbor." He called ! the price hike a "reckless and shameful" action by "a tiny ' handful of executives." The UAW leader praised i the President for his "forth- t right and vigorous defense of the public interest. ' "I am confident, Mr. Presl- dent," Reuther said, "that you have the full support of the ' American people behind your I efforts to defend this nation" i against the actions of the U.S. Steel Corp. Reuther said the firms ac-l fundamental problem that the nation cannot afford to con tinue to ignore." The problem, Reuther said, was the executives whom the President described as men whose pursuit of private pow er and profit exceeds their sense of public responsibility and who act with utter con- tempt for the interests of 18S million Americans. Reuther proposed proce dures which would have price leaders in major industries give advance notice of propos ed price increases and be re quired to produce all perti nent facts and records at a public hearing before they could be made effective. The proposal would not Impose either price or wage controls, he said. Under such a plan, if a cor poration felt that the demands of the union would require a price increase, then the union tion, "shocking though It was, would be required to defend Is merely a symptom of a I its demands, he said. ization plus additional com mitments will force the reduc tion. But another factor, they said, is that the idea of main taining troops at home with jet transports for movement overseas has gained a notch over keeping garrison forces abroad. Additionally, the Pentagon Is charged with a major re sponsibility for stopping the drain on U.S. gold reserves. Less Americans overseas would mean less dollars spent there. The demobilization, a n -nounced by President Ken nedy Wednesday, will return to civilian life 145,000 men now in uniform, including 110,000 who were called up to bolster the strength of the Army. The remainder are in the Air Force and Navy. The strength of the Army is to be still further reduced, from its last reported total of 1,102,515 men on March 1 to the 960,000 men requested in the administration's budget for the year starting July 1. A top defense official told newsmen it would be foolish to suppose that such a large reduction could be accom plished without affecting America's deployed strength in Europe, especially when the Army Is increasing its commitments at home and in South Viet Nam and other parts of Asia. The permanent build-up from 870,000 to 060,000 men in the Army was in support of a vastly increased commit ment to maintain eight in stead of only three ready com bat divisions within the Unit ed States. As a result, the Army-Navy-Air Force Journal and Register reported, Defense Secretary Robert S. McNa mara and the Joint Chiefs of Staff are considering a plan that would slash Army strength in Europe from 287,. 000 to 241,000 men. Prior to the Berlin crisis, Army strength in Europe was 252,000 men.
