Congress fumed at Truman’s failure to use the 80-day no-strike injunction provision of the Taft-Hartley Labor Law. But nei ther Mr. Truman nor his top labor Meutenants showed immediate in clination to move from considera- tion of the law to its actual use Top officials of the vast steel industry, which normally turns out | nine million tons of the vital de- fense metal each month, were re- portedly in New York along with some key policy makers of the CIO Steelworkers Union. There were reports the steel in dustry officials met under hush hush conditions—a situation which in the past has been a prelude to talks with the union However, it was reliably learned that an effort was made Friday to resume direct industry-union ne gotiations—and that it failed Striking Steelworkers and the in dustry set up plans in Pittsburgh Friday to start finished steel vita to the defense program moving out of warehouses and plants by Mon day. The steel famine was leaving an empty feeling in part of the nation’s defense production pantry Ammunition, which had been a short-supply item until only a few months ago, was now feeling a new pinch from the scarcity of steel A major item in this category was the 4.2 inch shell. Thousands of these may be used in one day along the Korean fighting front Each shell consumes 25 pounds of steel. The strike was costing around 250,000 tons of steel every day And its loss began to be felt more sharply each day. The General Electric Co. an nounced it is beginning to lay off men in 123 plants across the coun try. The plants give jobs to about 210,000 workers According to the best opinions in administration circles, Mr. Tru man will call reluctantly upon the Taft-Hartley Act in an atempt to ena the strike for 80 days—but fot until the House requests him to. The Senate already has done that In Buffalo, N. Y., the Steelwork ers Union began issuing food or- ders for its hungry members and their families. Joseph P. Molony, a USW di rector, said hundreds of idle work ers have appealed to the union for relief.

Gen. William K. Harrison reminded the Reds they had ex- presed ‘contempt for any nation” supporting the principle of no forced repatriation. The senior Al- lied negotiator declared: therefore come as a surprise to you if I inform you that this principle has been utilized by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a nation for whom your governments have upon occasion expressed great admiration.” The Communists had no answer to this, but they demanded another session Sunday. Today’s 30-minute no progress session at Panmun jom ended a 3-day Allied-imposed recess Brig. Gen. William Nuckols, the official United Nations spokesman, told reporters North Korean Gen. Nam Il, the chief Red delegate looked up from his papers with a “rather surprised” expression at the mention of Russia. * m then looked around sort of quizzically, first to North Korean Gen. Lee Sang on his left and then to Chinese Gen. Hsieh Fang on his right,” Nuckols related. He said Nam Il “appeared to be paying an unusual amount of attention” as Harrison told of two occasions when Russia used the principle of voluntary repatriation.

All indication at Denver were that Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's week-end dash to Texas and Ne- | vada would mark a departure from his carefully polite routine to date. His chief rival for the GOP pres- idential nomination, Ohio's Sen. | Robert Taft, told a reporter in Washington: “I don’t see how the Eisenhower people can break through to win at this point. They have not made the headway they expected when he returned home to campaign.” With 604 delegate votes needed to nominate at the GOP convention July 7 in Chicago, Taft has 467 to Eisenhower's 392 in the Associated Press tabulation. This tally is based on avowed and conceded first-ballot alignments. After flying from Denver to his Denison, Tex., birthplace today, Eisenhower goes to Dallas for con- ferences and a speech. Aides said |he will “take off the gloves” in | expressing his views over the con- |troversy surrounding Texas’ 38- vote contested delegation. Eisenhower visits the Hoover Dam at Las Vegas, Nev., Sunday |for another talk, then returns to Denver Sunday night. This trip looked like an expedition to gain background for answering ques- ; tions by convention delegates from | the West, whose favor the general | has courted in conferences at Den- ver. Various Eisenhower campaign- ers have called the Texas wrangle an attempted “steal” by Taft forces. The Ohioan’s backers retort that Eisenhower’s Texas followers are really Democrats in disguise. |The issue—whether a pro-Taft or pro - Eisenhower delegation should be seated—is docketed for settle- ment by the Republican National Committee. Vote-hunting forays were the or- der of the day for the three front- running candidates for Democratic nomination. The Associated Press | scoreboard, with 616 delegate votes needed at the July 21 Chicago convention, lists Tennessee Sen. Estes Kefauver in first place with 246. Next come Sen. Richard Rus- | sell of Georgia with 114% and Mu- tual Security Administrator Aver- ell Harriman with 95%, Kefauver was in Chicago today, meeting with his Midwestern back- ers. camp calls a ‘‘major speech” at | a $25-a-plate dinner there. At Rock Island, Ill., Friday night he told interviewers he felt a Pentagon | spending cut of four or five billion {dollars annually would not hurt military firepower. Harriman, bidding for Midwest- ern support, addresses Nebraska ‘democrats at a Jefferson-Jackson dinner at Omaha tonight. In Des Moines Friday, Harriman said he can provide a new crusading spirit he believes America now needs. Russell had a date today with | Idaho delegates at Boise. At Port- land, Ore., Friday, he said rear- ere in the country and any talk about cutting taxes is foolish. ‘ Both Taft and Eisenhower were the targets of another GOP presi dential hopeful, former Gov. Har. old Stassen of Minnesota, Friday night. In Philadelphia he told re porters he finds both men too con |servative. He added: “don’t count me out—I have a better chance today than I did in 1948." Meanwhile, Gov. John Fine saw little hope of achieving any har. mony in his 70-vote Pennsylvania GOP delegation—wooed by Taft jand Eisenhower forces as a key stone bloc that could dete | a close nomination race. Fine con trols at least 32 of the state's votes and is not expected to an nounce his choice until the con vention gets underwa (Train Derailed CHICAGO — Thirty ffered minor injuries night when two coaches of a cago and North Western Ra Streamliner were derailed during switching n the North Western persons s Friday way Eight of the injured were tr at Passavant Hospital and 2 t railroad’s dispensary wo re ned overnight at the hos al other passengers in the 1 males se Sunday he makes what his | |mament is the most important is- | ‘Federal Grand Jury Attacks Dept. Head MIAMI (P—A special federal grand jury Friday attacked what it called ‘the centralized control and veil of secrecy’’ on income tax matters at the Washington level. The jury said that “Washington interference and delaying tactics” ) hamper prosecution of tax fraud cases and added: “If the trend continues to center more and more in Washington the | direction and control over the lives and affairs of our citizens, our economic security and our individ- ual freedom can be destroyed The jury said it found nothing to warrant any specific criticism of the disposition of cases at the local level, but added “At the Washington level, how Jever, in one instance we found a case in which there appeared, if not a technical violation of the law, such gross impropriety on the part of the then chief counsel of |the Bureau of Internal Revenue in Washington as to shock the conscience of this grand jury. | “That case contained a written | confession of a plain and flagrant violation of law. | “While the then chief counsel ! had the prosecution under consid- | eration he and the United States commisioner of internal revenue were house guests at the Miami Beach home of the taxpayer's Washington lawyer and were en- tertained at a cocktail party which many of the internal revenue of. ficials of this area attended and at which cocktail party this case | was discussed. | “Shortly after such entertain- | ment, prosecution in the case was | turned down by the chief counsel's | office on the alleged ground that the mental health of the taxpayer | prohibited trial.” | The grand jury added that the regional office of the Internal Rev- | enue Bureau in Atlanta and the | | office in Miami were not notified of the action taken in the case until six months later. | The taxpayer was not named in the jury’s report but it added that the chief counsel having since re- | | signed and the health issue having been abandoned in the case, “The | taxpayer has now been indicted.” Income tax fraud cases should be handled directly by U. S. dis trict attorneys in the areas in- | volved, the grand jury said. It also recommended improving , the system of the Internal Revenue | Bureau “‘to expedite handling and decisions at the local level’? and | |impanelling federal grand juries annually “‘to keep a check on the | handling of tax evasion cases.” The recommendations were con tained in a 6-page report of the | grand jury’s consideration of tax jeases in the Miami area since last March 5. ‘Choice Granted WASHINGTON “F — If you | about to be drafted, you can the service of your choice vided you do it before your duction notice arrives | That's been e case for s¢ months, but Friday the D Department made it an permanent policy. | For the past year, the service | have been suspendir to’ month—an _inter-ser ment wh volunteerin had their p tests.
