Steel Gets
Hike From
WASHINGTON, April '23—(A s )—The government ordered an in
crease of about $3 a ton in steel price ceilings today. At the same
time Econbmic Stabilizer Roger L. Putnam said he sees no justifi
cation for any further price increases to pay for wage raises..
The move came only a few hours after the Truman administra
tion had taken the next-to-last step toward a pay raise order for
the seized industry by putting up
to Putnam the question “how
much?”
Putnam said it will be next
week before he can make the pay
recommendation.
Mills May Hike Prices
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer,
operator, of the mills for the Gov
ernment, 'referred the , pay issue
to the stabilization office and
said that when he gets the an
swer 'he will take, it-to President
Truman for final action.
Putnam then announced at a
news conference that he had di
rected Price Stabilizer Ellis Ar
nall to get out an order under
which the mills may, if they
chobse,- ’ boost prices by .the am
ount allowed under the Cape
hart amendment to the Defense
Production Act,
Will Not Force Companies
That provision allows price ad
justments to reflect cost changes
up to last. July 26. Officials have
estimated it would'give the. steel
industry about $3, which is about
a fourth of the amount som'e
industry spokesmen have said
they would need to meet wage
raises recommended by the Wage
Stabilization Board.
Putnam stressed that it will be
up tb the companies to decide
whether to make an actual price
boost—“ We’re-not going to force
Capehart on anyone.”

Pennsylvania Politics
PHILADELPHIA, April 23— (JP)
—Backers intensified today a
drive to solidify an eastern bloc
of Republican presidential dele
gates behind Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower on his strorig ballot
showings in New York and Penn
sylvania.
The five-star general of the
armies swept to about a 675,000
vote victory over. Senator Robert
A. Taft, his chief rival. for the
nomination, in, yesterday’s Penn
sylvania presidential popularity
poll. The poll, is not binding on
But Taft, who had kept his
name off the ballot and had asked
supporters not to vote for him,
got a national record write-in
total of 172,829 with 36 precincts
missing. And Taft seemed likely
to get a substantial share of Penn
sylvania’s 70 delegates.
PITTSBURGH. April 23—(AP) —
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower cap
tured six Republican converition
delegate candidate races here to
day out of a possible eight in
Pennsylvania’s only clear cut fight
between forces backing the gen
eral and Sen. Robert A. Taft,
(R.-Ohio).
Taft supporters emerged from
the balloting with only two Taft
pledged candidates successful.
PHILADELPHIA. April 23—(tf>)
—Gov. John S. Fine maneuvered
into a key position today to be
able to say where Pennsylvania
will line up at the Republican
convention that will nominate the
GOP candidate for President.
Fine has insisted all along that
Pennsylvania should go to Chi
cago in July unpledged but ready
to plunk down the votes for the
nominee who is sure. to win.

Flood Fighters
Rush to Help
Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, April 23— (JP)
—Three thousand flood fighters
rushed to raise the dikes at Kan
sas, City today as the Missouri
rive V’s pile-driver flood bore down
from the north.
The expected crest at Kansas
City rose half a foot to 31.5 feet,
set for tomorrow night. That
would still be well under last
year’s level of 36.2, which spelled
disaster. ,
In Kansas, Gov. Edward F. Arn
proclaimed a flood emergency in
four northeastern Kansas counties
hit by, the Missouri flood. That
opens ttie way to emergency fed
eral aid.
Far to the east on the Missis
sippi, lowa towns, iri- the path of
another record flood waged des
perate. battles. Eleven National
Guard units were on duty; Heavy
rairis in the southeast corner of
the state; - made .the levee fight
more difficult.
Downstream, forecasters raised
their sights on expected Missis
sippi crests as the result,of heavy
rains to the north. But they clung
to their prediction of no major
flood at St. Louis.
Five to six inch rains in recent
days raised a new flood threat in
[the Midwest, this, time in east
'and northeast Texas.
That happened in 1948 when
Senator Edward Martin, desig
nated as “favorite son” of the
state delegation, dropped out of
the race before the balloting be
gan and started the bandwagon
rolling for Thomas E. Dewey by
making the nominating., speech
himself.
■ Fine wants Pennsylvania to be
in that position again.
On the Democratic side, Sen.
Estes Kefauver has a big bloc
of votes but his support is not
binding nor decisive.
PHILADELPHIA; April 23— -(JP)
—Edward Martin, who began his
political career as a door-bell
ringer in Greene County, and Fed
eral Judge Guy K. Bard, Lancas
ter County . squire, will oppose
each other in the November elec
tion for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
Martin, Republican incumbent
seeking his second term in Wash
ington, won his party’s nomination
easily in yesterday’s Pennsylvania
primary election, over Steele
Clark of Indiana, and James P.
Scoblick, former congressman
from Archbald.
Bard, the federal district judge
who refused to make a political
speech, also won an easy victory
for the Detnocratic Senatorial
nomination. He scored a better
than 2 to 1 decision over G. Har
old Wagner of Luzerne County,
former state auditor general.
Bard had refused to campaign
for the nomination on the ground
that a judge shouldn’t delve in
politics until he resigned. Now
that the battle is over and he’s
won, Bard is going to resign, the
judicial post he has. held since
.1939. . .
Ex-Tax Official
Banks $161,609
Too Much
WASHINGTON, April 23—(T)
—Two treasury agents said today
they had discovered that Joseph
D. Nunan, former commissioner
of internal revenue, banked $161,-
609, more than he reported in his
income tax returns from 1945 to
1950.
The agents made their report
in testimony before a House ways
and means subcommittee which
has uncovered a long series of tax
scandals.
They testified that Nunan, now
a lawyer with a flourishing prac
tice in New York and Washington,
was unable to explain how he
came by $97,328 of the amount
involved. '
More than $90,000 of the earn
ings, they swore, was received by
Nunan between March 1, 1944,
and June 30, 1947, when he was
the nation’s chief tax collector.
Nunan was supposed to appear
before the committee himself to
day to untangle the figures. But
for the second time he pleaded
illness 'and did not appear.
The committee voted to appoint
their own physician to examine
Nunan and then to decide, in the
light of that physician’s report,
whether .to cite the lawyer for
contempt.

PHILADELPHIA, April 23— (JP)
—The favorites came through to
day in their nomination fights for
seats among Pennsylvania’s 30-
member delegation to the U.S.

But because the state’s delega

a number of the congressmen
already in will have trouble get
ting'reelected.
In three of the districts—the
10th, 26th and 28th—voters must
choose between incumbents. And
stiff opposition is being provided
for many of the other present
congressmen.

Carrigg and Democrat Harry P.
O’Neill (Lackawanna, Wyoming,
Sullivan, Susquehanna, Wayne
and Pike Counties).
