Prospects
For 'Steel
Firms Ask
New Talks
With Union
WASHINGTON, March 28—(R)
—Prospects for avoiding a .steel
str i k e threatened for April 8
brightened considerably t o day
wlipri major steel'firms arranged
neiv labor peace talks with CIO
President Philip Murray's steel
workers union.
Six of the industry's lav ) est
producers invited Murray and his
aides to meet with them in New
York beginning Monday to. "at
tempt to work out a settlement."
The move, indicating the in
dustry and union may be ready
to quit sparring and start talk
ing busineSs, seemed to point to
possible government decisions on
the 'steel price situation.' Top
stabilization officials declined to
comment.
President Truman talked for
More than half an hour in late
afternoon with Mobilization, Di
rector Charles E. Wilson, Eco
nomic Stabilization Chief Roger
L. Putnam -and Price Stabilizer
Ellis Arnall.
None of these officials would
comment, but it appeared to be
a good bet their conference con
cerned possible steel price boosts
to pay for wage increases de : ,
manded by Murray and recom
mended in part by the Wage
Stabilization Board.
The fact that the six big steel
companies were ready to sit down
together with Murray indicated
to many observers that they had
probably gotten a verdict from
the government on prices.

would he surprised if Truman
drops even the faintest clue to his
political intentions. Nevertheless,

he may take the occasion to say
a few words about the man he

successor, Gov. Adlai Stevenson
of Illinois.
Stevenson wil dine at:the same
table with the President, and

Truman
Against Vote
arriers
WASHINGTON, March 28—(if')
—Congress should act promptly
to remove some of the "many
barriers" in the way of voting
in this year's elections by about
two and one-half million service
men and women. President Tru
man said today.
Declaring that servicemen from
one-half the states will , not be
able to vote easily and effectively
in 1952 under state laws, Truman
urged Congress to revive the fed
eral ballot used in the 1944 pres
idential election.
In that election, he said in a
special message to_ Congress,
about two and one-half of the
nine million service personnel of
voting age cast ballots.. Truman
then added:
"The record was not good, but
it was better than it is likely to
be this year, unless prompt action
is taken.
"In spite of the obvious diffi
culties in the use of the federal
ballot, the Congress sh9uld not
shrink from accepting its respon
sibility and, exercising its consti
tutional powers to give soldiers
tl-e right to vote when the states
fail to do so."
A federal ballot does not in
clude any state or local offices.
A serviceman using it has an op
portunity to vote for a president
and vice president, House mem
ber and—if there is d seat in his
state up to be filled—U.S. senator.

As 'Ominous Threat'

Althottgh the officials conceded
Russia had. a long lead numeri
cally, especially in jet fighters,
they insisted the quality of Amer
iCan planes is better.
They gave their testimony to a
committee, some of whose mem
bers were sharply critical of the
American plane production effort.
One of them, Rep. Scrivner (R-
KanS.), asked:
"Where are we now? Are we
tyros, or, are we the productive
genius that we thought we were?
Is Russia such a backward nation
if it can do these things? Where
did they get this business and
production genius in• the last five
or six years?"
