Pennsylvania Farms Are Replaced
By Smoke Stacks As Steel Moves In
By RICHARD KLEINER
NEA Staff Correspondent
MORRISVILLE, Pa.—(NEA)—
Beoiween 4:30 and 5 every after
noon, a strange parade of mud
coated cars and trucks turns the
main intersection of this small
city into a monstrous bottleneck.
They come from a mile down the
read In a bend in the Delaware
River, a place townspeople call
“the site.”
1t is here United States Steel is
building its new Fairless Works,
which will be one of the world’'s
great steel mills. Here 10,000 men
are fashioning an industrial co
lossus on 3842 acres that used to
be 63 truck farms. The new crop
will be steel, not spinach.
1t used to be rich farmland and
it was a good place to live. Not
far to the north, Washington
crossed the Delaware, which
winds serenely by on its journey
to the sea. There were big trees
and peaceful homes, many dating
from the 18th Century. |
# * *
Today, the peace and serenity
are gone, A “quick tour” around
the site—which takes an hour—is
like riding the roller coaster, skid
ding through the mud and dodg-'
ing groups of workmen and trucks
at the same time. As far as you‘
can see, the $400,000,000 mill is
going up.
There are blast furnaces, ugly
and black against the soft Bucks
County countryside. There are the }
nine open hearth furnaces with |
the odd yellow precipitators—
which will cleanse the smoke—
clinging to them like leeches.
There is the sheet and tin finish
ing area, a grouping of about a
dozen buildings, some big enough

FAMILY DOCTOR-—
Dr. Percy G. Waller, 82, of New
Baltimore, N. Y., was named by
the Medical Society of New York
as the state’'s outstanding gen
eral practitioner of 1751
to drive through.
Trucks and men swarm over the
area, and there is still one house.
It was a comfortable house with
a big porch and wide steps. They
let it stand to serve as a tempo
rary office, but its days are num-
bered. Soon it will-be torn down,
like the others.
&* - -
On the road just outside the
main part of the site, a few other
old buildings remain. One, a
school house in the 1700’s, is a
lovely white-washed brick struc
ture, still proud behind a new
sign that reads, “National Tube
Co., Operations Division.” Na
tional Tube, a U. S. Steel subsi
diary, will have a big plant on
the site.
When quitting time comes, at
4:30, the construction workers in
their brown and red tin hats get
in their muddy cars, slip and
slide out to the main road—and
proceed to give Morrisville its one
steel-inspired headache.
Except for the traffic situation
the area is happy about its gigan
,tic neighbor. But when the news
of Steel’s acquisition of the tract
first got around, residents were
horrified.
“They imagined,” says a Steel
spokesman, “there would be big
clouds of black smoke all the
time. They pictured us going over
to Europe and bringing boatloads
of rowdy, hard-drinking foreign
ers over here to work the plant.
They thought these men would
bring. fat, sloppy wives and have |
a kid every ten months. They
weren’t happy.” |
* * L
Six months before ground was
broken, Steel sent a public rela
tions man to Morrisville. John
Appleyard is a big, hearty,. genial
man. He began by going to meet
ings, eventually spoke to any
group that would listen, often
making three talks a day.
He told Steel’s story. Making
steel, he’d say, is pretty much of
a mechanical job; it doesn’t re-l
quire big bruisers. The employes,
he’d say, will be quiet, well-be
haved, with many college grad
uates among them. And, anyhow,
5000 of the total payroll es 6000
will be taken from the area. He
dispelled their worries, one by one,

Deauct 112
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Newsfeaturys VWriler
A Liberal Party leader in Eng
land—a woman, naturally—sug
gosts the stiff British income tax
laws be ‘relaxed sufficiently to
permit a man to take his wife ‘out
on an o2casional, deductible gpree.
Nancy Scear, who seems to be
either a spinster or a Lucy Stoner,
thinks that such an innocent.night
on the town-cinner, movies and a
sitter taking eare of the kids—
should be itemized on the tax
form as “maintenance of family
good will.”
I don’t know much about British
income taxes except that they
are high but it seems like a
pleasant, common-sense sugges
tion, and one which might be
given a little thought on this
side of the Atlantic by the minds
who think up tax schemes to
separate us from our money.
Here in the United States, tax
payers are permitted to throw de
ductible parties and to entertain
exvensively in the interest of de
veloping new business and in
meintaining customers.
tyo
I make my livang in a commun
ity called New York City where
the deductible party has been de
veloped to a high point. It’'s been
years, almost, since I attended
anything mcre extensive than an
informal dinner at the home of a
friend which was not carefully
plotted and arranged so as to be
ultimately all but written off as a
business expense.
Deductible entectaining ob
viously set up some interesting
psychological barriers. A guy who
is a charming host and adroit
check-grabber vwhen he Kknows
most of his good -fellowship can be
charged off to a bid for a new
business account, is apt to think
over carefully the proposition of
taking his wife on a les: extrava
gant gala when its price comes
from monies earned after taxes.
As a matter of fact, I've observed
rather closely that those blessed
entertainment accounts exercised
violently during three-hour cus?
tomer luncheons and cocktail
hours, are the most fervent advo
cates of the quiet-home-life, the
pipe-and-slippers routine.
But husbands without the bagic
wand of deductible camaraderie
are apt to prefer the hearth to the
ringside table. Currently, they can |
answer their wives’ pleas for a
change of pace with a stark: “We
can’t afford it.” :
Miss Seear explained that “even
the most devoted wife and mother
will eventually feel she has seen
too much of the inside of her own
house.” With the added induce
ment of being able to clip most
of the party tab from next year’s
tax returns, maybe most husbands ‘
wouldn’t be so difficult to blast
out of their easy chairs. l
Of course, I can’t imagine the
federal tax people. going for any
thing like this—not when a work
ing woman still can't deduct the
price of a caretaker for her chil
dren; when until recently baby oil
was taxed as a cosmetic; when
cigarette-smokers and whiskey
drinkers pay more taxes on their'
purchases than cigar - and - pipe
smokers and wine-and-beer drink
ers. A g::poul for a deduection
called aintenance of family
good-will” undoubtedly wouldn’t
get any farther than the recep
tionist’s waste paper basket.
Anyway, it would probably
cause the unmarried tax- payers to
scream about the unfairness of it
all, Maiden ladies would probably
apply for a morale deduction
which would include a visit to the
beauty salon and maybe the price
of a man-catching wardrobe.
Bachelors could make a pretty
