GOP Candidates’
Paths Cross in N.Y.
(By thf Associated Press*
The Taft - Eisenhower tug - of
war for Republican presidential
nominating votes swung to New
York City yesterday, each con
tender huddling separately with
the same group—New Jersey’s
38-member delegation.
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower has
been holding conferences all this
week with state delegates to the
July 7 national convention. Sen.
Robert Taft> of Ohio arrived in
New York last night for the same
purpose.
Their paths crossed at the out
set. The New Jersey bloc, now
heavily pro-Eisenhower, met with
Taft Thursday morning and later
conferred with Eisenhower. The
strategy on both sides: with all
but 13 of the 1,206 delegates chos
en, the time has come to* tighten
favoring alignments and win over
fence-riders and those leaning the
other way.
Neither Taft nor Eisenhower
now has the 604-vote majority
needed for nomination. The As
sociated Press tabulation, based
on avowed and conceded prefer
ences, lists 464 for Taft and 391
for Eisenhower, with 130 spread
among others and 208 disputed
, or uncommitted.

5-Year Fight For
Control Of Big
Dollar Line Settled
WASHINGTON, (£>)—The gov
ernment and the R. Stanley Dollar
interests Thursday settled their
five-year court fight over control
of the Big Dollar Steamship Line.
Terms of the settlement pro
vide:
1. The controlling stock interest
in the line claimed by berth will
be put up at public sale at any
price above 14 million dollars in
cash.
2. The winner on sealed bids
will get the 92 percent block of
stock and the government and the
Dollar interest will divide the
proceeds.
3. If the public sale fails to
bring a bid of 14 million dollars
or more, the stock will be divided
equally between the government
and the Dollar interest.
In any event, Secretary of Com
merce Sawyer said, the govern
ment intends to get out of the
line and return it to private oper
ation.
During court proceedings, the
92 percent block of stock was es
timated to be worth 69 million
dollars but Sawyer said Thursday
the net value of the line was
about 32 million at the end of
1951.
Its ownership has been in dis
pute due to the circumstances of
a government loan of $4,500,000.
The government contended, and
Dollar denied, that the stock back
of the loan had been surrendered
to it. The settlement agreement
provided that the Dollar interests
may bid for the stock by them
selves or join others in doing so.

House Votes Down
Truman Proposal To
Seize Steel Industry
WASHINGTON, (IP)—A House
committee voted down 15 to* 10
Thursday a proposal that Presi
dent Truman be empowered to
seize and operate the struck steel
mills.
It was the first formal vote by
any House group since Truman
went before Congress Tuesday
and pleaded for this power.
The Senate previously had re
buffed Truman by voting that he
should use anti-strike provisions
of the Taft-Hartley law in an ef
fort to end the strike of 650,000
CIO steel workers.
Meanwhile, union and manage
ment officials met with govern
ment chiefs to plan the reopening
of a few strike-bound steel plants
to produce weapons for U. S.
troops fighting in Korea.
When steel industry negotia
tions collapsed last Monday night,
both industry and union agreed to
reopen enough plants to produce
the steel needed for the Korean
fighting. Truman told Congress
that might help some, but would
n’t satisfy all defense needs.
Many ancient peoples had bath
rooms in some of which the bath
ing facilities apparently were as
adequate as those in modern
buildings.
