ludge Doubts Steel's Right To Injunction

Suggests Suit

Of Another Sort

Editorial, Page 20 By United Press

WASHINGTON, Apr. 9— The steel industry argued before a federal judge today

that it will suffer irreparable

damage unless the courts immediately nullify the government's “illegal” seizure of its plants. : : Federal Judge Alexander Holtzoff questioned, however, whether the industry has grounds for an immediate injunction. He took a luncheon recess before reaching a decision. The court action was started swiftly after President Truman seized the steel mills last night in order to stop a strike by 650,000 workers, There were these other rapidfire developments: ONE—President Truman sug-

pass legislation setting out specific terms and condition for government operation of the steel mills. Such legislation, he said in a special message this noon, “might be very desirable” although he did not think it essential at this time. The President defended his action in ordering seizure as necessary to the nation's welfare, TWO — Many mills were still idle. But U, 8. Steel Corp. the biggest, and Jones & Laughlin Corp, sald they will resume operations, Other mills were trying to get back into production. However, at most only maintetance men were being admitted

members were being . “locked out.” Republic Steel said it would

man. The court action against the seizure was pressed in the federal court for the District of Columbia by Bethlehem B8teel Co., Republic Steel and Youngstown Sheet & Tube. U, 8. Steel Corp. did not go to court today, but it and others were expected to get into the legal fray in a day or two. “History Shows” Judge Holtzoff suggested the complaining companies could file a routine law suit rather than an application for an immediate injunction, John J.
