To Be Drama-Packed By NORMAN WALKER WASHINGTON (” — President Truman brought feuding steel ex- ecutives and union leaders together today in a White House meeting aimed at settling their nation-rock- ing labor fight. Mr. Truman planned to sit down | face-to-face with CIO Chief Philip Murray and a half dozen leading steelmakers whose attorneys have charged that the President's sei- zure of their vast metal industry smacked of dictatorship. It promised to be a drama- packed session. For one thing, Mr. Truman, who has sided with the union and ac- cused the industry of being “reck- less,” was to meet up with Clar- ence Randall, the steel firm presi- dent who charged the President with making ‘“‘a corrupt political deal” with Murray. It was reliably reported the meeting was a last-ditch adminis- tration effort to arrange an in- dustry-union contract agreement and that, if it failed, Mr. Truman was ready to give Murray's 650,000 | union members the pay raise they want. ‘The 3-day strike was over, called off by Murray Friday on Mr. Tru- man’s plea. Some steel firms were balking, however, at heating their open hearths and blast furnaces again for fear another quick strike might wreck the expensive facili- ties. They demanded ‘assurance of continuing operations.” This slowed the resumption of steel production. The U. S. Steel Co., giant of the industry and pro- ducer of a third of the nation’s steel, was one of the firms re- luctant to restore high temperature operations. U. S. Steel’s plants at Gary, Ind., and at Pittsburg and Alameda, Calif., were among those remaining shut down on company orders. Elsewhere, mills said it would take from several days to aslong as 10 days to get production to full blast again. At U. S. Steel’s Gary plant, a union subdistrict director, Orvall Kincaid, said “If the lockout con- | tinues until Monday we will have mass meetings and demonstrations at the gates of the company.” Meantime, the great legal battle | over constitutionality of the gov-, ernment seizure was In the lap of | the Supreme Court. The justices | gathered for a regular Saturday | conference on pending cases, and they could rule today on part or all of the complicated litigation. The court may very well delay action until Monday, a regular court opinion day, or even later. | Two main points are to be de- cided. One is an industry plea— | opposed by the i government a Murray's CIO Steelworkers Union | —that the administration be pro- hibited from raising steel wages while the industry is under gov- ernment control.

FERNANDEZ, JR. Paid Pol. Adv. TAXES OF THE HOME OWNER According to the 1940 Federal Census, two of every five families in Monroe County owned the home in which they lived. The 1950 Census figures on this sub- ject have not yet been published. They may show a larger proportion of home owners, but the proportion will still be lower than I should like it to be. The founders of this Nation visualized a race of free men made independent by individual ownership of land. From their day until the present, widespread home own- ership has been the ideal which goes to the very roots of our existence, and we must continue to cultivate this ideal so as to keep these roots of our national existence well nourished. I, for one, have always done what I could to encour- age home ownership. This I shall continue to do. The family that lives in its own home is a healthier, happier and more stable family. Such families are our best line of defense against the increasingly powerful forces of crime, But, even more important, in times like these, is the support for our American Way of Life which home ownership gives. More than 30 years ago a wise United States Senator said on the floor of Congress: “Where there is a community of home own- ers no Bolshevists or anarchists can be found. It is written in history since the beginning of civil- ization that, where people reside in their own homes, there the best in government and civili- zation exist.” (1) (1) Senator W. M. Calder of New York. Quotation ap- pears in Senate Debates, August B, 1 Con- gressional Record, 66th Congress, Ist Session, part 4, page 3718. Today, even more than ever, our democratic tradi- tions are being attacked and undermined both from within and without. But socialism and communism will not take root among those who have their feet firmly embedded in the soil of America through home owner- ship. The owner of a home does not wish to share that ownership with others. The soil that is owned by the man who lives on it is not fertile soil for the growth of communism or socialism or any other Un-American “isms.” Since most Americans want to own their own home, the costs involved must be the principal reason that we still have more renters than owners. One of these costs is the tax that must be paid by the owner. The home owner must, of course, expect to pay a fair share of the cost of the government that gives and protects his right to own and furnishes the many services expected of governments today. But taxes should never be a hindrance to acquiring a home. I hope that no tax payer in Monroe County will ever fee! like the dis- gruntled home owner in enother part of the country who said that taxes made owning a home a luxury. In this county, we try to give the small home owner an even breck. A fair share of taxes but no unduly burden some amount, is what we have expected and will con- tinue to expect of our home owners. crly true in the case of our young ld War Il or in the present conflict in c or en years to fight n of deserving your for us, to realize their am © owners. have bition to become hom: Deep in the hearts of most American families there glows, even though the spark of desire for ho’ ownership. Monetary considerations sometimes e this spark. But it shall continue to be my goal at no citizen of this county will ever feel hesitant to buy a home here because of his fear that he will be called upon to bear an unfair or unduly high tax burden.
