The OPA official said that
Bowles had been asked to cut
short a vacatio(}\l in South Carolina
and return to the Capital immedi
ately. He was expected late to
night or early tomorrow.
Bowles, who reportedly favors
a $2.50 ton increase in steel prices,
had intended to stay in South
Carolina. until Sunday or Mon
day.
[ The new plan for ending the
12-day-old steel walkout was re
ported in the hands of top level
White House advisors, but federal
seizure of the industry was said
not to be involved as yet.
At the same time, a high Labor
Department official indicated the
government’s latest move in the
General Motors strike appeared to
have missed fire—temporarily, at
least.
Federal seizure of steel planis
was ruled out for the present by
Mr. Truman yesterday when he
told his news conference that such
a step was not now contemplated.
Truman Ontimistic
The Chief Executive declined to
predict a “break” in »the steel
stalemate, although he did say in
response to a request for comment
that he believes the general labor
situation is improving all the
time. ¥
There was no indication what
fresh steps government advisers
were considering in the steel sit
uation but persons close to policy=
makers explained ‘that prices ob
viously are the principal obstacles
to a steel wage agreement.
The U. S. Steel Corporation, in
a statement which caught govern
ment officials by surprise, declar
ed Wednesday a, steel pncefig
arease “greatly in excess” of $6.2
a ton would be needed before the
industry could afford the 181
cent hourly wage increase pro
posed by Mr. Truman.
OPA, in a new steel price study
prepared at the President’s ret
quest, still ‘contends that $2.50 a
ton is all it will approve. Other
governrgent agencies have dis~
cussed figure of ‘amund $4.
Pointing up the wage-price re
lationship which rapidly is bring
ing government deeper into labor
disputes, Mr. Truman yesterday
rejerted a suggestion from Henry
Ford II that price controls be lift
ed from the auto industry and its
suppliers.
Such a step, the President told
newsmen, would lead to wild in
flation.: Ford made his suggestion
to Reconversion Director John W.
Snyder in a felegram which also
stated that Ford plants wouid
close down entirely this week un

The Textile Workers Union of
America (CIO) today called on
the Senate Finance Committee 10
determine if the Athens Manufac
turing Co. is obtaining benefits of
the excess profits tax law. . . |
In a letter to Senator Walter F.
George, Kenneth Douty, Georgia
director of the union, declared his
organization believed the com
pany’s refusal to settle a. six
months old strike “resulted solely
from the profits guaranteed by
‘carry-back’ provisions” of the
law. pE
“It is nearly six months now
since the.company forced the Ath
ens local of our union to go on
strike in order tc secure company
compliarice with War Labor Board
orders,” Douty wrote. |
“Since that time nearly four
hundred Georgians have fought
evietions, intimidation, injunctions
and discrimination in an effort to
win their rights as American
citizens.”
~ Douty said the excess profits tax
law permits repayment to a com
ipany out of previously paid excess
profits, sums to cover losses suf
fered during 1946, to the amount
necessary to assure profits-of a
normal year. The original aim of
the law, he said, was to ease re
conversion. -
He suggested that if the guar
antee is being used by the com
pany that “full wages -or at least

Governor Revises
Bill Because
"Trading’ Reported
- ATLANTA, Feb. I—(AP)—
Governor Arnal] has “revised” a
‘measure passed by the legislature
restricting tht state’s senatorial
districts. He said he did this be
cause of vote *“trading’ in con
nection- with the gubernatorial
succession resolution.
The bill, as approvflc?.gh by the
‘Govertior, ‘establishés “ifirediately
two new senatorial districts, the
53rd and 54th. But the Governor
stipulated that revision of the oth
er 52 districts so that none shall
have more than three counties,
will not become effective until
Jan. 1, 1952. g
Arnall said this action was pos
sible under a section of the state
constifution which reads in part:
“The Governor shall have the re
vision of all bills passed by the
General Assembly before the same
shall become law.
The Governor said he took this
action “because of an affidavit
filed by a member of the legis
lature wh{ch shows there was
irading of votes against the sue
cession amendment, and in favor
ol the senatorial redistricting bill.”
The name of the legislator was
not revealed, but Arnall added:
“The legislator says in his affi
davit that because he voted for
the succession amendment, his
county lost the right to name ihe
next senator under the redistrict
ing bill, and the place was given
to one of the leading opponents
of the succession amendment”.

AUDIENCE AT "OUR TOWN" SHOWING
By JOE CONKLE
Banner-Herald City Editor
The University Theatre’s production of “Our-Town” last night in
the Fine Arts Auditorinm was good. The gudience was unrespon
sive.
The work of an above-the-average amateur cast did not penetrate
the audienece’s unawareness of the fact that the audience itself was
on the stage. “They don’t know, do they?”, runs a line in the play.
But it must have been clear
even to the otherwise cloudy
spectators that whatever the cast
was trying to say, it was saying
it well. The current production of
“Qur Town” is the best thing the‘
University Theatre has done in a
year. -4
George Blair, taking the part of
the stage manager, was easy and
confidential; he hit his stride in
the third act. Caroline Rose, as
Mrs. Giggs, and Jean Rountree,
as Emily Webb, stood out as the
warm next-door neighbors they
are intended to be. Royce John
son, playing the milkman, and
‘Alex MacDonell, as the consta
le, also rate special notice. The
