,TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1952 Truman ' s Rights Debated in Court -WASHINGTON, May 12 (.LP)—The Supreme Court was told today the government is a "mere trespasser" and that President Truman had not right, either in law or under the ' Constitution, to seize the stee But. •administration lawye Constittition—Truman not on to take , oveithe plants and hea The nation's highest court heard more than three hours of argu ment-On this question: "How far can a President go in seizing private property?" • So great was the interest in this• question that four times as many people showed up as could be accommodated. 'All seats were taken long be f ore the session opened. Arguments tomorrow will wind Up the hearing. There was no in dication when the court may hand down its verdict or whether. when it does, it will rule on the broad constitutional issue.. Presumably it could• decide the case on lesser points. Davis 'Advarices Case Th e administration argument that the President has inherent or basic powers which justify such action in emergencies brought one sharp comment from Justice Douglas that the argu ment seemed to be there was "no apparent need for Congress." It's case was advanced by John W. Davis, 79-year-old one-time Democratic presidential c and i-- date. He was beaten by Calvin Coolidge. Davis said that when Truman seized the plants the night of April 8 he was acting illegally, that no law nor any part of the Constitution gave him the right to seize this property. Supports Truman Actually, Davis said, Truman could have stopped the strike IRV using the Taft-Hartley Law. Its arguments were presented by Philip B. Perlman, 62, acting attorney general: Perlman insisted that under• the Constitution the President is com mander-in-chief, and must obey the ldw and protect the security of the country. He conceded that Truman could have • used the Taft-Hartley Act, but said that by presenting the case .to the Wage Stabilization Board, he already had used "an alternative method." "The facts" are uncontradicted,!' Perlman said,' "that w h mills. were seize d' the country faced not merely an - eniergebcy but a, threat to its very existence:" Nittany Coancil Waned Three Award Whiner's Three students have been named winners of the Nittany Council awards.

Taft-Hartley May Be Used In Oil Strike WASHINGTON, May 12 (2P)— President Truman was reported today to be ready to invoke the Taft-Hartley Law's strike stop ping court injunction provisions unless the oil strike is settled soon. Informed officials said the White House was awaiting the outcome of a meeting tomorrow between oil industry representa tives and the striking- unions be fore the,Wage Stabilization Board. The oil strike of , 90,000 workers, now in its 13th day, has . caused curtailment of both military and civilian flying. Growing shortage of fuel at, filling stations is incon veniencing motorists. However, record petroleum stocks before the strike began have kept strike effects to a minimum. Under the T-H law, Truman Would appoint a fact-finding board to give him a report on the dispute, without recommenda tions for settlement. On receiving the report that an emergency sit uation exists, the Presiclent could direct the • Justice Department to seek an 80-day injunction to stop the strike. A failure of the administration to employ this procedure - in the great steel dispute has brought it considerable criticism and has be come one of the issues in the courts.

The more than 2500 convention delegates gathered for the meet ing with one eye cocked on the Supreme Court in Washington. Government' and industry attor neys clashed there, over the legal ity of President Truman's seizure of the industry to avoid a strike. It seemed clear that the union was ready for a knock-down strike against the industry, in the event the high court rules that government operation of steel mills is illegal. On the other‘hand, a ruling that seizure was valid most certainly would prompt the government to give the steelworkers the wage increase and other demands which Truman has promised the work ers. It was against this background that Philip Murray, president of both the CIO and the steelwork ers union, presented a report along with other union officers for the delegates. It steered clear of discussing any issue in the pending labor dispute, sticking to other union affairs.

House Orders Look Into Magazine Filth WASHINGTON, May 12 (JP)—The House today ordered a double barreled investigation into crime in radio-TV programs and filth in books, magazines and comic publications. Only 31 of the 435 House members were present as the chamber passed resolutions calling for the twin inquiries. Both actions were by voice vote. , The resolutions were sponsored by Rep. Gathings (D-Ark.) who complained that juveniles are be ing fed too strong 'a diet of mur der and violence on the radio-TV shows and "immoral, obscene or otherwise offensive anatter" in printed form. Gathings told the newsmen he had no intention of setting up any "censorship;" but he declared: "I am concerned by the pre valence of dirty literature avail able at cheap cost to almost any kid in the country." The radio-TV inquiry will be conducted by the House Com merce Committee headed by Rep. Crosser • (D-Ohio). The "current literature" probe will be made by a special nine man committee to be named by Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex.), with three members from the judiciary committee, three from the post office committee and three from the House at large. Gathings is expected to head the special committee. Both committees are directed to report their findings to the House, along with recommendations for legislation to keep objectionable matter off the bookstands and air waves. Reds Accused Of Using Talks As Propaganda MUNSAN, Korea, Tuesday, May 13 (EP)—The Allies accused the Communists yesterday of contin uing the Panmunjom meetings only for purposes "of false prop aganda" and not for achieving a Korean armistice. A spokesman said the Commu nists with their propaganda tac tics were daring the Allies to break off the talks. The United Nations command stood pat on its final offer of an overall solution to the basic truce isues pegged on no forcible repa triation of Communist prisoners. It was one of the bitterest sessions in the 10-months-old talks. Usually mild-mannered, Vice- Adm. C. Turner Joy, senior Allied delegate, emerged from the 52- minute meeting yesterday ob viously angered. He said the Com munist propaganda tirade was "filled with invective, distortions and palpable lies." Gen. Nam 11, chief Communist negotiator, delivered a 34-minute harangue peppered with charges of Allied '"barbarous treatment" of Red prisoners. The Reds are disgruntled be cause only 70,000 of 169,000 mili tary and civilian internees held by the Allies want to return to Red rule. They accused the Allies of forcing prisoners to renounce Communism. Three Campus Roads To Be Resurfaced Three roads on campus will be resurfaced this summer, ' accord ing to Aaron D.
