ATLANTA, Jan. 21 — (AP) —
The legisiature began its second
week today with action incomplete
net only on the second term issue
but also on other major pieces of
legislation.
Both houses completed only
two main bills last week—the
farm gasoline tax refund measure
and the child labor bill. They

tain a majority of a county’s pop
ular vote before getting the coun
ty unit vote.
In Senate committees are the
$9.100,000 state expansion bill,
and bills for the Milledgeville
State Hospital bond issue and the
creation of a constitutional high
way bogrd—measures spons'oredi
by Speaker Roy V. Harris and al
ready passed by the House.
The controversial ambndment
to permit Gov. Arnall to run for
a second term, passed by the Sen- |

}){ouse Constitution Committee No.
The Senate Temperance Com
mittee has scheduled a hearing

Theodore Roosevelt Isle In Mid-Potomac
Toße National Park, Wild As He'd Like
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE
AP Newsfeature Writer.
WASHINGTON. — A wilder
ness island, within a mile of the
White House, will take its place
this year among the world’s most
distinctive memorials. ’
Officials of the National Park
Service say they hope that Theo~
dore Roosevelt Island (formerly
Analostan Island) in the Potomac
river will be ready for limited
use by the public seme time next
summer.
The 75-acre forest island, close
to the heart of a teeming mod
ern capital but with its sylvan
solitude accessible solely by boat,
is congidered a particularly suit
able memorial to Theodore
Roosevelt, who was an ardent
woodsman and naturalist.
In T. R’s Tramping Grounds
The island is a sort of gateway
to the territory along the Poto
mac where President T. R. took
his favorite tramping trips. It lies
between the Francis Scott Key
Bridge and the Memorial Bridge
and is directly opposite the mouth
of Rock Creek.
A simple Roosevelt memorial
plagque will be placed on a wood
ed plateau at the southern end of
the island. This plateau affords
fine views of the Lincoln Memo-~
rial, Washington Monument and
Arlington National Cemetery
with its tomb of the Unknown
Soldier and the Robert E. Lee
mansion. Toward the north, be
yond the Xey bridge, are the
towers of Georgetown Univer
sity. . ¢
A ferry will take visitors to
the southern shore of the island.
On the northern shore there will
be a dock for canoes and small
boats. No automobiles or other
vehicles will be allowed on the
island. There will be several sim
ple foot-trails through the forest,
a picnic grove, and a rustic shel
ter for use by visitors in the
event of a sudden storm e
Analostan Island was purchas
ed by the Thecdore Roosevelt
Memorial Association for $364,-
000 and presented to the na
tion in 1932. The plan for its de
velopment as a primeval forest
was made by Frederick Law
Olmsted, landscape architect of
Brookline, Mass. For some years
American Movies Have Marked Effect
On Spanish Life And Infernational
Relations, MacKenzie Wams Makers
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
AP Waorld Traveler
MADRID, Jan Zll—American
motion pictures are having a
marked effect on Spanish life,
and by the same token are des~
tined to play their part in inter
national relations—facts which
impose on Holywood the obliga=-
tion of seeing that nothing which
might damage is exported.
To the Spanish public the Hol
lywood movies are the reflection
of a utopian way of life. Ameri
ca is the enchanted land of won
‘ders and plenty.
One every noticable influence of
Hollywood is on feminine hair
‘dress, makeup and fashions. The
women of Spain, who are among
{he most beautiful in the world,
tare copying American Filmdom.
American music also is being in
'troduced in this manner, as well
'as Amerfgan dancng—including
jitterbugging.
However, the thing reaches
deeper than that. The folk of
.Spain are intensely interested in
American automobiles. in our
modes of travel, in the magic
contrivances we have for the kit
chen, and in lavor saving equip
ment for our business offices.
the National Park Service and
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission have been
developing the island under Olm
sted’s general direction, planting
upwards of 10,000 trees and
shrubs,
The idea of the Roosevelt Me
morial Association is that a de
velopment along lines similar to
the primeval forest of the Poto
mac Vaialley be carried on for
generations, and possibly centu
ries. Among the better known
trees on the island are red and
white oak, ash, hickory, syca
more, Virginia dogwood, red bud
and hawthorn.
Analostan Island has a roman
tic history. It was inhabited by a
small tribe of Indians in the 17th
century when King Charles II
granted a charter to Lord Balti
more giving him domain over the
province of Maryland. The island
became a part of the District of
Columbia when Maryland ceded
acreage for the formation of the
district.
Site of Manor House
In 1717 it came into the pos
session of George Mason, father
of George Mason of Gunston Hall,
signer of the Declaration of In
dependence and the author of
the famous Bill of Rights. The
latter willed the island to his son,
General John Mason, who built a
brick manor huose on it for a
summer residence. There he en
tertained society folk of George
toww and Alexandria and distin
guished foreigners, including
Louis Philippe, Duke of Orleans.
President Jefferson is believed
to have visited the home. Gen
eral Mason imported Merino
sheep for his Analostan estate
and grew maize there. A French
visitor took back some of Ma
son’s maize seed to the Empress
Josephine. wife of Napoleon Bon
aparte. The Mason manor house
was destroyed by fire during the
Civil War.
After the Civil War, the island
was used as a pleasure -resort
where picnics, fairs and tilting
fournaments were held. For
about 15 years before the Park
Service started its redevelop
ment work, the island was undis
turbed. It returned to a wild
state of brambles and timber.
And the interest isn't merely
academic. The Spanish are excel
lent copyists. They make adapta
tions of many things they see in
pictures.
American movies are preferred
in Spain. Last year 133 American
pictures were released here and
these were 62 percent of all the
films shown in the country. It's
interesting to note that Mexican
films released are increasing. Ac
cording to available records two
Mexican pictures were shown here
in 1944, thirteen last year and the
forecast for this year runs to 50.
Spain herself produces an av
erage of 40 pictures a year, but
the industry stil has far to €0 in
development, which was hamper
ed by the civil war of 1936-39
and the ensuing world war. How
ever, this country is doing a ‘mag
nificent job of sound retracting.
This involyes the substitution of
Spanish dialogue for ‘english and
is difficult, since it calls for the
synchrongation of jthe English
language lip movement and the
Spanish language.
Of course the exchange of pic
tures should develop better ac
quaintance among the various
peoples, and this in the long run
should Help intennational rela
tions. Unfortunately, less however,
some American pictures shown in
Europe give a false impression of
American life and morals.
For instance some types of
gangster pictureé are wholly un
true and misleading. :
Pictures showing wholesale
mmarita] infidelity also create de
cidedly bad ideas about Ameri--
can morals.
In short, a lot of highly ima
‘rginat!ve and over sophigticated
pictures which citizens of the
U. S. A. take in stide as utter fic
tion are accepted abroad as true
This type of picture can do more
damage in a year than all the dip
lomats can repair in a genertion..
And the maral of all this is that
the selection of pictures in Ameri
ca for foreign consumption should
be most carefully made.

Steel Strike To Prove Costly To
Nation, Strikers And Operators
j By JAMES MARLOW
PITTSBURGH, Jan.- 21—(AP)
—This is the ABC of an American
tragedy—the steel strike—which
started today. This strike, a show
down fight over wages between
the CIO and the steelmakers, is
the greatest in our history.
On strike: 750,000 CIO mem-
Deis. Diiut Qowil: ALOuL 1,000
plants, connected in one way or
another with the steel industry,
in 30 states. The strike will
paralyze reconversion if it lasts
a couple of months becauge so
much manufacturing depends up
on steel, .
The supply of steel in the hands
of manufacturers is not large.
They’ll have to slow down and
then shutdown when they run out
of steel. The effect of the strike
on the nation therefore will prob
ably appear gradually, then pick
up speed, the longer the strike
lasts.
The U. S. Steel Corporation is
the giant of the in3ustry. What
U. S. Steel did in the wage fight,
the rest of the industry was al
most sure to do. So CIO President
Phillip Murray batfled from the
start with U. S. Steel President
Benjamin ¥. Fairless.
Murray at first demanded a
flat increase of $2 a day for each
of the 750,000 CIO workers in
volved. That would mean, with
the men working an 8-hour day,
an increase of 25 cents an hour.
Murray eventually cut his de
mand down to 19% cents an hour.
President Truman asked him to
cut it still further to 181 cents.
Murray did. .
Fairless at first offered a raise
of only 1215 cents an hour. Later
he jacked it up to 15 cents.
He stopped at 15 cents. He says
his company cannot afford%o go
higher. President Truman asked
him to go up another 31 cents to
the 181% cents for which Murray
agreed to settle. Fairless refused.
Murray called the strike. ¢
‘ Core of Strike '
Thus the core of the strike is |
that 3%;-cent difference per houri
in the wages of 750,000 workers.
But what do these things mean to !
the companies and the workers:
the 315-cent difference, the 15
cents offered by Fairless, the 1815 |
cents demanded by Murray? And
what is the strike costing the in
dustry?
The cost in lost revenue frops
sales: $10,000,000 a day, This fg
ure is from a reliabl¢ authority
within the steel industry. It's a|
gross figure, not a profit figure.
The profit from the $10,000,000 a
day in sales would not be known]
until the industry had deducted
from it taxes and operating ex
penses, includins; wages.
Fairless’ offes” of a 15-cent an|
hour raise—4#6r 750,000 workers |
working 8 fours a day, 40 hours
a week, 5 Weeksa\g ear—wauld
cost the in@ustry $v03,630 a day,
$4,500,000 =% week, and $234,000,-
000 a year.
On the samé basis Murray’s de
mand of 18% cqqts would cost
the industry $1,1%0,000 a day,
$5,550,000 a week, ‘and $288,600,—|
000 a year. \
Thus the 3%-centian hpux\dif—‘
ference between a raise of 15
cents an hour and 181 (-emsl
would be: $210,000 a day, $1,050,- |
000 a week, and $54,600,000 a veaxn"
People within the industry ed%
timate that its gross revenue ir
1946, if there had been no strike, |
would have been $3,500,000,000. |
That is not the net profit figure.
That would be known only after
the industry had deducted for
taxes and operating expenses, in
cluding wages, from the $3,500,-
000,000. ;
Pay Raise Grounds
Murray demanded the pay raise
on these grounds: '
Now—because of the loss of
wartime o,vertime' and higher-
paying wartime jobs—workers are
earning less than during the war.
Government figures show that
workers in steel mills now are
averaging for straight time hourly
pay $1.087.
That $1.087 an hour is $8.696
for an 8-hour day, or $43.48 for
a 40-hour week. Last April the
average weekly earnings were
$56.32. This included overtime. Tt
was a high month but the CIO
points to it as an example of what
their members made.
A raise of 15 cents an hour,
added to the present $1.087, .would
give tlte mill workers an average
straight time hourly rate of $1.237,
or $9.896 a day for an 8-hour day,
or $49.48 a week. .
A raise of 181, cents would
mean $1.272 an hour, $10.176 a
day, or $50.88 a week.
The industry wants a price in
crease of $7 a ton for its steel. Re
portedly, OPA wants to allow it
only an increase of $2.50 and Re
conversion Director Synder is
willing to allow it $4.50.
If there had been no strike in
1946, the industry this year would
have turned out about 60.000,000
tons of finished steel. This is what
the price increase would mean to
the industry for its 60,000,000
tons:
An increase of $2.50 a ton —
$150,000,000 more a year for the
companies: an increase of $4.50 a
t0n—5270,000,000 more: an in
crease of $7 a t0n—5420,000,000
more a year.
The location of the Treasury
building in Washiangton, out of
harmony -with the original plan
for the city, was chqsen by
President Jackson vho stuck fais
cane in the ground to indicate
the site.

he also believed :: possible that

While reserving for a later
message detailed discussion of
the p-cposed $3,755,:C0,000 loan
to Britain, Mr. ‘Truman said
granting %ais credit would con
tribute to “easing the transition

partnerg in the war.”
In an intreduction entitled
“from War to Peace--the year of
decision,” he declared the. be
ginning of 1946 finds this ceun
try “strong and deservedly con
fident.”
He said that for the immediate
future the business prospects
“are generally so favorable that
the-e is danger of such feverish
and opportynistic activity that
our grave postwar problemg may
be neglected.” 5
He saiq industrial peace will
have to be achieved through col.

“Private. capital and private
management,” ‘e asserted, “are

efficiency, but ,business must
recegnize that its reward results
from the employment of the re
sources of the mnaticn. Business
is a public trust and must adheve
to national standards in the con.
duct of its affairs.
“These standards include as a
minimum the estavhdament 'of
fair wages and fair ecmployment
practices.” \
Mr. Truman reserved for the‘
last page of his 75 page printed}
document his warning against
“disunity.” |
“We have won a great war—
we, the nations of plain people
who hate war,” he declared. “In
the test of that war we found a
strength unit that brought us
through—a tsrength that crushed
power of those who sougt by force
to deny our faith in the dignity
of man.
“During this trial the voices of
disunity among us were silent or
were subdued to an occassional
whine that warned us that they
wetre still among us. Those voices
are beginning to cry, aloud again.
“They seek to destroy our har
mony, our understanding of each
other, our American tradition to
live and let live’. They have be
come busy again, trying to set
race against race, cried against
creed. farmer against city dweller,
worker against employer, people
against their own govirnments.
“They seek only to do us mis

Eloborating on oFreign policy,
the President saia: :
1. When difficulties arise be
twen the wartime Allies the Unit
ed State will not try to remove
them by sacrificing its ideals or
