I'd like to add that In thelr transactlons with oihers these men tollowed, instinctively and qui c unconsciously, the principle of the Ooldcn Rule. They oeiill with oth ers aa they would have wanted "hers to deal with them. The re spect and'conlldence and deep af fection in which they wero held followed naturally.

S . ..... i "rrvvi '-v "x. w " HST's Call Honored By CIO Chief WASHINGTON (if The CIO Steeiworkers. responding to a re- quest from President Truman, caned oil tneir striae rriaay wnue the big legal battle over govern ment seizure of the mills shifted, to the Supreme Court. Union President Philip Murray announced In Pittsburgh he had ordered his 650,000 men to go back to work "a soon as possible." Union aides said they anticipated there would be working crews for the normal 3 p.m. EST mill clilels. Murray also accepted an Invita tion from Truman to confer at tha White House Saturday with Indus try leaders. There had been no formal accept ance from the industry men but lawyers for the steel companies told reporters here the manage ment representatives undoubtedly would accept. In Chicago, Clarence Randall, president of Inland Steel Co,, said ne intended to attend the meeting. Aiier uie seizure April u, itanaail went, on a national radio hookup and vigorously denounced Tru man's action. He was one of six steel executives asked to the White House meeting. LEGAL SIDE On the legal side, the steel in dustry went to the Supreme Court with a plea that it (1) uphold the ruling by U. S. District Judge Day id A. Pine that Truman lacked any legal authority to seize the steel mills, and (2) forbid the gov ernment to raise wages while the court is considering the momen tous issue. By this move, the industrv cot the Jump on government attorneys wuu uuq piaiuiea uiemseives to take the case to the highest tri bunal. Nevertheless, the government went ahead and filed its own peti. tion. This urgued that the Presi dent, as commander in chief, had power to take over the steel indus try but said the government did not "urge that the President pos sess unlimited powers." ne petition contended too that the power claimed for the Presi dent "in no sense can ... be seen as dictatorial or without boundar ies." The court was in recess but tha Justices have a regularly sched uled conference set lor Saturday afternoon. They rnlght decide then iwhetbec, they j-Wlli consider- the case. .. ..,. - .-v- .. REVIEW ' ' -' " . ' J The court could grant a review to either the industry or the gov emment. Normally, court aldet said, the court would either grant both requests for hearings or deny both. If the requests were denied, the case would go back to thi Court of Appeals here. Truman's move for s Whiti House conference with both sides seemed obviously aimed at trying to get them to agree on a working contract. , " If this should develop, the Su preme Court might refuse to con sider the case. " The Justices customarily declini to consider any case where thi issue is "moot," as , the lega. phraseology goes. That means one where there' b no live issue remaining. And thi central issue government sei zure would be washed out 11 there were a contract agreemeni restoring the mills to their owners, On the other, hand, the lssui raised by Fine's ruling Is so grave that the court might decide to ruli even though the case was "moot." OBEDIENCE ' Truman, saying he has no deslr to be a dictator, has asserted that he certainly would comply witl any Supreme Court decision. The President appealed Thurs day night for the steel workers to get back on the ..Job as "loyal Americans." - SACRED HEART church (pictured here! is the topic today in the weekly series of articles on Klamath Basin churches.
