Truman Appeals
To Congress For
Steel Crisis Power
WASHINGTON, </P)—President
Truman asked Congress Tuesday
for power to seize and operate
the struck steel industry.
Before a hastily assembled joint
session of the Senate and House,
Truman said the choice lay be
tween federal seizure and use of
the Taft-Hartley Act.
A Taft-Hartley injunction
against the strike of 650,000 Uni
ted Steel workers, he said, “is
by far the worst of the two ap
proaches.”
Standing on the speaker’s dias
in the House chamber, Truman
told the Senators and Representa
tives that the Supreme Court had
ruled against Presidential seizure
of the steel mills, but had said
Congress could vote to take pri
vate property. He said:
“The issue is squarely up to
Congress.”
Truman said a seizure law
should:
1. Permit the government to
change the wages and working
conditions of the steel workers.
The government had been pre
pared to raise steel wages under
| the Presidential seizure but was
; blocked 'by a court injunction.
2. Provide for a method of de
termining just compensation for
j the mill owners. Truman recom
mended special boards within the
framework of the Economic Sta
bilization Program. A factor in
the strike wTas the failure of the
steel industry to get government
assurances » f price incraises tne
industry deemed necessary to pay
higher wages.
Pleading for Congress to give
1 him this power, Truman told the
legislatures in solemn words that
! full scale production of steel is
absolutely necessary to the west
ern rearmament program. He
added: “The issue of peace or
war hangs in the balance, and
steel is a vital element in the
outcome.”
The nation's output of steel is
down to an estimated 12Vfe per
cent of normal capacity.

Gen. Clark Backs Policies
Of U.N. Truce Negotiators
By GEORGE A. McARTHUR
MUNSAN, Korea, (/P) — The!
Korean armistice talks resumed
today with the Communists pro
testing new bloodshed on Koje Is
land and repeating old accusations
that brought about a three-day
walkout by the United Nations
delegation.
Gen. Mark Clark, U.N. Far East
commander, in a letter to top
Red commanders, said:
“Delegates of the United Na
tions Command have endured for
many days your maliciously false
charges based on distortions and
half truths presented in plenary
sessions only for propaganda pur
poses. Their patience at all times
has been commendable. The man
ner in which they have conducted
negotiations meets with my full
approval.”
Maj. Gen. . Wm. K. Harrison,
senior U.N. truce delegate, said
there was no progress on the is
sue of exchange of prisoners.
“We had hoped that they would
use the three-day recess to make
up their minds to accept our pro
posal but the session today was
just as though we hadn’t been
away,” he added.
Communist Link Found
Between U.S. & Manila
SAN FRANCISCO, (fl5)—Philip
pine and American authorities
have uncovered a secret commu
nication link between Commu
nists in the United States and
Communist Huks fighting in the
Philippines, Philippine National
Defense Secretary Ramon Mag
saysay said today. '
Coded messages smuggled into
.
the islands through air lines serv
ing Manila and San Francisco
were intercepted, he said. The
messages supplied evidence of a
close tieup between the Reds, he
asserted. Other intercepts have
been found aboard planes from
Hong Kong and Europe to Manila.
Means of breaking the commu
nications line with the cooperation
of air line officials are under
close study, he said in an inter
view.

Koje Breakup
Bares Red Plot
To Seize Island
KOJE ISLAND, Korea, </P) —
Tough U.S. paratroopers Tuesday
cracked Communist priscmer of
war rebellion in a rip-snorting
2Vfc-hour battle that made a sham
bles of notorious Compound 76
and uncovered a prisoner plot to
seize the island.
Thirty-one prisoners were killed
and 139 wounded in the bloody
fighting. Autopsies showed that
12 prisoners were killed by their
fellow Reds with crude spears.
One American was killed and
14 were wounded. The slain Am
erican had been speared to death
and not killed by a concussion
grenade as first reported. Only
one American was seriously
wounded. The fight broke out
when the POWs disobeyed orders
to move peaceably into new,
smaller enclosures of about 500
each.
U.S. Army Intelligence officers
found a master plan in 76 to lib
erate all 80,000 Communist pris
oners held on Koje. It called for
the Reds to seize the island, then
its U.N. garrison and turn its
weapons against any force on the
mainland.
Not a shot was fired in the
barbed wire encircled battlefield.
The 750 Americans of the “An
gels from Hell” . Combat Team
used concussion grenades, bayo
nets, tear gas and fists to subdue
the rebellious 6,400 North Kor
eans. The Reds were armed with
spears, knives, rocks and fire
bombs. v •
Surrendering prisoners were
hustled off to the new enclosures.
The wild, swirling battle was
witnessed by prisoners of two
other unruly compounds—78 and
77. Shortly after the fight ended
Boatner told prisoners in 78 to
get ready to be moved—or else.
The prisoners obeyed meekly.
