Steel Disputes Heads
Into Week Of Crisis
BY NORMAN WALKER
WASHINGTON, March 17. — (AP) — The steel lavor
dispute headed today into a week of crigis with the indus
try planning to start shutting down Tuesday in anticipa
tion of a strike at midnight Sunday.
Some loss of steel, sorely needed by both defense and
civilian industry, seemed inevitable because th steel mak
ers wanted to be sure their blast furnaces were emptied of
hot metal in advance of any stoppage.
Philip Murray, head of both the
CIO and the strike-threatening
spul_workeu union, withheld ac
tiom until Thursday on a request
by tgl Wage Stabilization Board
(WSB) for a new strike postpone
ment.
Murray already has put off
strikeé plans three times since Jan.
1. Government efficials said they
believed he will do so again.
Target Date
TRursday is the same day the
WSB has fixed as its target date
for getting out recommendations
for pettling the complex dispute—
involving Murray’s demands for
an 181% cent hourly pay boost and
a score of other items. The steel
workers presently earn a little un
der $2 an hour.
Murray told the WSB yesterday
that the decision on whether to
strike or not will be up to the
union’s 200-man Policy Commit
tee, which has been called into
session here Thursday. Murray
pledged that the union will give
the new strike-delay plea “‘serious
consideration.”
The union probably will have
had a peek at the WSB’s findings
before it makes up its mind. As
things stand now, Murray is em
powered to call a wolkout at any
time after midnight Sunday. The
union has made strike prepara
tions but no formal strike call has
gone out yet.
Steel companies have promised
the WSB they will be prepared to
bargain with Murray’s union with
in three days after the board’s
recommendations become known.
Neither the industry nor the
union is obilbed to accept what
the WSB recommends, but its sug
gestions are expected to be the
basis for bargaining.

Senate Committee Delays Decision
To Bring lke Home For Aid Query
UAW Fires 5 Top Men;
May Take Ford's Local
One Refuses To
.
Abandon Office
DETROIT, March 17—(AP)—
Having fired five minor officials,
an administrative board of the
CIO United Auto Workers moves
today to take over headquarters
of the world’s largest local union,
Ford 600 of the UAW.
Recording Secresary William R.
Hood of the local vowed: “I'll not
physically give up my office. I
refuse to abjectly surrender with=
out counsel with my membership.”
The six-member administrative
board was instructed to take over
the Ford local by the UAW Exe=-
cutive Board after witnesses testi=-
tied before the House un-Ameri
can Activities Committee here that
Communists had infiltrated the
' hanks of officers and dominated
actions by the local’s general
council.
Named By Witnesses
The five fired officers, none
above the unit level, were named
By witnesses before the House
group as Communists.
Walter P. Reuther, Internation
al president of the UAW, was
named chraiman of the adminis~
trative board. Until Hood spoke
up, it appeared the four top offi
cers of the 43,000-member local
had agreed not to prevent the ad
ministrative board from taking
over their headquarters. President
Carl Stellato had sald there would
be no opposition by force, but the
action would be appealed to the
' next UAW convention.
' The administrative board named
a four-member administrative
committee yesterday to take over
actual operation of the local and
said it would move into the local’s
headquarters today. Stellato and
his immediate staff .retain their
titles, although the board has pow=-
er to oust them.
| Checking People
In firing the five from unit of
fices, the board warned it is
checking ““into the status of people
holding other elective and appoin
tive offices in local 600 and in oth~
er cases where it appears beyond
a reasonable doubt that other per
sons are iqeligible to serve under
Article 10, Section 8 (of the UAM |
constitution) similar action will be
taken.
| The section of the constituti
to which the hoard referred rea(g:
' “No member of any local union
| shall be eligible to hold any elec~
| tive or appointive position if he
is a member of or subservient to
any political organization, such as
the Communist, Fascist or Nazi
organization, which owes its al
legiance to any government other
than the United States or Can
' ada, directly or indirectly.”
The five fired officers were call
ed before the House Committee
last week after having been nam
e¢ as having Communist affilia
tions in testimony by other wit
nesses, but none would answer
| questions regarding Communist
! affiliations, if any.
The five are: Paul Boatin, chair
man of the motor building unit:
John Gallo, recording secretary of
the Mec ~+ Building Unit; Dave
Moore, v.~e-chairman of the Gear
and Axle Building Unit; chairman
of the P astics building Unit.
| Convicted Last Year
t The quintet was convicted last
year under Article 10, Section 8 of
the UAW constitution, but the
trial board’s unanimous verdict
was rejected June 12 by a 94-21
vote within the general council,
Iwhich serves as an cverall gov

Keil at the airport. After a meal
they parked across the street from
her apartment.

’had associated with other men,
then announced: “I am going to
kill you.”
He asked her to get his gun,
which she had taken from him
during a previous visit, from her
apartment,
She got it, returned to the car,
and fired as both stepped into the
vehicle through opposite doors.
She ran to her apartment and
told another :?'rl who_also lived
there. The other giri called a
funeral home operator, who found
Keil and took him to the hospital.

Irish Celebrate
St. Pat's D
. Fal s vay
DUBLIN, Ireland, March 17 —
(AP)—All over Ireland the cele
brations honoring St. Patrick
started early today.
Thousands of shamrock wearers
in their holiday best trooped into
the capital from nearby villages
and farms, seeking the best places
to watch the two-mile parade
down famed O’Connell street.
The parade was the island’s
longest, loudest—there were half
a dozen bands—and greenest. On
a smaller scale, there were cele
brations in every other town and
village.
President Sean T. O’Kelly and
members of the government led by
Prime Minister Eamon De Valeray
headed Dublin’s colorful proces
sion.
The march was to end at the
city’s cathedral of St. Marys,
where Archbishop John McQuaid
was to sing a mass honoring the
saint who brought Christianity to
Ireland almost 1,700 years ago.
Football and other sporting
events were planned this after
noon and scores of dinners and
dances were on the schedule for
tonight. .
St. Patrick’s flag—a red diago
nal cross on a white background—
flew over the mansion house, of
ficial residence of Lord Mayor
Andrew Clarkin.
In a message to the Irish of the
United States, Clarkin said:
Irish In U. S.
“I know the feast of St. Patrick
is celebrated wherever there are
Irish people. In nowhere else
outside Ireland is the day honored
more than by the Irish people in
the United States.
“With all my heart I wish you
in America every blessing and
grace and prosperity on this feast
day of our glorious apostle.”
In Northern Ireland Prime Min
ister Sir Basil Brooke in his St.
Patrick’s Day statement referred
indirectly to the touchy subject
of partition—separation of the six |
northern counties from the 26
southern ones by the British in
1922,
“All facets of life in Northern
Ireland today are inseparably re
lated to our constitutional position
within the United Kingdom and
British Commonwealth,” he said.
“QOur determination to maintain
this status has never been strong
er than it is today. Our kith and
kin beyond the seas 2an count on
us to safeguard the Ulster Citadel.
By s@ doing we shall keep. faith
with them and be true to our

Party Lines Are Split On Issue;
McMahon Leads Move For Return
WASHINGTON, March 17.— (AP) —The Senate For
eign Relations Committee today put off a decision on
whether to ask General Dwight D. Eisenhower to fly home
and testify on the $7,900,000,000 foreign aid bill.
After an hour's committee discussion behind closed
doors, Chairman Connally (D.-Texas) an‘noanced it Lfld
been decided to delay action
Mahon (D.-Conn.) to request
Connally said this was done be
cause “several” committee mem-!
bers were absent., As far gs re
porters could see, only Senators
Lodge (R-Mass.) and Brewster
(R-Me.) were not present.
Lodge heads the FEisenhower-
For-President Commitiee, Brews
ter is a supporter of Senator Rob
ert A, Taft of Ohio for the Re
publican Presidential nomination.
McMahon told the Associated
Press the effect of today’s session
was to postpone any invitation to
Eisenhower until after his chief
deputy, Gen., Alfred M, Gruen
ther, has testified.
McMahon said he will bring the
matter up again at that time.
.~ Some Eisenhower supporters
have been urging the general to
return to the United States to
speak out on current issues.
Those who have been opposing
this have argued the Senate Com
mittee could get any information
it needed from Gruenther.
Party lines are split on the issue,
with McMahon, a Truman admin
istration supporter, leading the
move to get Eisenhower back.
At present, Eisenhower's
“yiews” are beings explained by
others. Yesterday, for example,
Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia,
a candidate for the Democratic
Presidential nomination, said he
thought the General was against
compulsory FEPC.
Regarding his own views, Rus
sell said on a television (NBC'
Meet the Press) program that he
believed federal expenses could
be cut, but if elected he could not
promise a cut in taxs for a year or
two, until after the rearmament
program is fully in lWiD’. He also

For Six-Shooter
Is Big Headache
l BY ELTON C. FAY
WASHINGTON, March 17—
(AP) — Enlisted men in Korea
who want to tote personal six
shooters are giving headaches to
the military and postoffice. Also
they are leading kinfolk into un
' witting infraction of the law.
' Officials said today an increas
| ing number of revolvers and pis
. tols have heen found in the mail
' recently, addressed to Marines
‘and Gl's. Relatives try to mail the
Iguns in response to requests from
servicemen in the war zone.
Why do they want them?
Marine and Army authorities
here said they weren't sure, but
they had some ideas after talking
with relatives, Among the reasons
suggested were these:
Aping Officers
1. If officers can wear side
arms, why shouldn’t enlisted men?
i 2. In forward areas, close to the
battleline, regulations require that
| firearms be carried. A revolver in
' a holster is easier to carry than
|an M-1 rifle on a sling or in the
| hand.
| 3. Some soldiers claim in letters
that they are inadequately armed.
’ 4. A mistaken impression that
any officer has the unlimited right
‘to have a sidearm mailed to him,
'leading to an idea that enlisted
man should have the same priv
ilege.
Some young soldiers are only a
few years removed from boyhood
days when they yearned to pack
a pearl-handled six-gun in a hol
ster, cowboy fashion. (There was
at least one soldier of fame who
wore pearl-handled revolvers,
name of General George Patton.)
Don’t Need Sidearms
The military says most enlisted
men don’t need sidearms, that un- |
der the “Tables of Organization.
and Equipment” sidearme are is-|
sued ‘‘to any and all whose duties r
require use of same.” ‘
Postal laws specify that “pistols, 1
revolvers and other firearms cap- |
able of being concealed on thel
person are non-mailable and shall
not be deposited in or carried by |
the mails.” However, a m‘ovision!
does allow sidearms to be mailed |
to officers of the armed forces “for I
use in connection with their offi
cial duties when an affidavit is
provided guaranteeing that the |
need is for official use only.” :
