' idea that is acceptable to both
sides. But neither the union nor
► the companies needs to pay any
attention to what he says.
As production dropped, as pic
keting started, the two sides still
seemed far apart.
For example, after last night’s
meeting with U. S. Steel, Murray
had only this to say:
“I wouldn’t even comment about
hope at this time.”
That’s how bleak the picture it.
One small firm — Portsmouth
(Ohio) Steel Corporation — has
given Murray. Unofficially 1
it’s the 14ih largest steei producer
in 'he nat on. But it employs only j
4,006 of the 500.000 unionists.
Main stockholders of Portsmouth
are Cyrus Eaton, Cleveland finan
cier, and a group of his associates.
Henry Kaiser had an interest in
the company but sold it last year.
U. S. Steel, the industry’s giant,
hires 160,000, about one-third,
agreement with U. S. Steel would
undoubtedly set a pattern for the
rest of the steelmakers.
A steelworker walkout would
push the nation’s strike-idle past
the million mark. Some 480,000
coal miners have been idle nearly
two weeks.

Catholic Information
^ Get a priest—any priest!
They carried him into the emer
gency ward, mangled and dying,
and all he would answer to re
peated questions was: “a priest—a
priest!”
“Get a priest,” ordered the sur
geon impatiently, “any priest! It
doesn't matter. I’ve seen scores of
them die — these Catholics — and
without exception each calls for a
priest and also without exception
each passes on resignedly if the
. priest has come in time. Funny
thing!”
Funny? It’s the most natural
thing in the world if one under
stands the importance to a Cath
olice of the Sacraments and the
need for a priest for administer
ing them.
No matter how faultless the dy
ing Catholic, no matter how re
cently he may luive confessed his
sins to a priest, when death ap
proaches it is his greatest desire
to make a final confession, to re
** ceive his God in Holy Communion,
to have the healing graces of Ex
treme Unction—to pass on to his
God with every possible prepara
tion.
This is what is known as a
“happy death.” for which every
Catholic prays throughout life, for
i which he yearns and calls when he
is aware of his critical condition.
That is why the Catholic priest is
ready day or night, fair weather
, or foul, to rush to the side of the
sick or dying. That is why he will
risk plague or pestilence, shot or
shell, danger of any kind, to reach
him who calls for those graces of
God which the priest alone can ad
minister.
The Catholic priest may or may
not be a good preacher. He may
or may not have a pleasing per
sonality. He may or may not have
the average amount of human
weaknesses.
But when he stands upon the
altor of God and when he adminis
ters the Sacramests, we believe he
is exercising God-given powers
with the same validity and effica
cy as did Peter and the other
Apostles who received their man
date from Jesus Christ, Himself,
1900 years ago.
Every Catholic knows this. That
is why, when death comes on
apace, he calls for a priest—any
priest.

NEW YORK, i/P)—A plane that
outruns the sun was mentioned
la.>t night in an address bv ?tir
force secretary Stuart Symington.
“This same plane, if it made
the range," he said, "would arrive
in San Francisco before it left New
York. That will give worry to the
time table experts.”
There is a three-hour differen
tial between New York and the
west coast.
Symington spoke at a dinner of
! the national security industrial as
i sociation. The group includes ma
jor industrial suppliers of the
armed forces.
Symington did not specify what
i kind of plane he was referring to.
, But he prefaced his reference to it
! with this remark:
“Man has now flown and lived
at speeds hundreds of miles an
hour faster than the speed of sound
—which is 760 miles per hour at
■ sea level."
His Skill Helps Build Alaska's Future
Navigating Alaskan waters is part of the day’s work for Captain
Henry Burns, commander of the S. S. Alaska. For many years he has
played an important role in the growth of the Territory by helping to
provide the water transportation upon which Alaska’s future prosperity
and development largely depend.
Captain Burns began going to sea when he was 16 and has been sailing
in Alaskan waters for 26 years. He became a member of The Alaska
Line’s sea-going staff in 1936 and has served as master of twelve Alaska
Steamship Company vessels since that time.
By placing its ships under the command of veteran officers like Cap
tain Burns, the Alaska Steamship Company has built confidence in its
service to the Territory.
