WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1952 Steel Mill Seizure By Truman Voided WASHINGTON, April 29 (?P) —A federal judge today voided President Truman's seizure of the strike-threatened steel industry, and the vanguard of 650,000 CIO steelwork ers immediately began going out on strike. U.S. District Judge David A. Pine, in a biting opinion, ruled the Truman's seizure order was "without authority in law" or the Constitution. He struck at argu ments that the President has broad "inherent" powers author izing the seizure, saying that for him to agree to such an argument "would undermine public confi dence in the very edifice of gov ernment as it is known under the Constitution." The judge announced that he was issuing an injunction ordering the government to give the mills back to their owners. No Alternative Seen The government was ready to try immediately for a higher court order cancelling out the District Court decision„ but the 650,000 CIO United Steelworkers did not wait. They struck immediately, stopping the flow 'of , steel which the government had tried to keep going by seizure. President Philip Murray of the union said in Cleveland the men had "no alternative but to cease work immediately" and within one hour pickets were out and furnaces .were being shut down. To Test 'lnherent' Power The government then clamped an embargo on shipments of steel from warehouses to producers of civilianotype goods and to foreign countries. One almost certain result of the court ruling is an historic test in higher tribunals of just how much "inherent" power the President has in a period of national emer gency. And the findings could-= though they probably will. not— bring an ultimate decision on whether the Judiciary can con trol the executive.
