WASHINGTON, Apr. 10— The steel industry today ac-| cused the government of; “stalling” as a federal judge
turned down a new move to] speed up action on the companies’ | suit against President Truman'’s| seizure order. 5 Federal Judge David A. Pine denied a request by four steel companies for a speeded-up hearing on the merits of their claim that Mr. Truman seized the steel mills unlawfully.

Dropped in Laps Assistant Attorney General Holmes A, Baldridge said the government was entitled to a full 60 days to answer the. industry complaint and would insist on having it. “In all frankness,” Mr. Baldridge said, “this matter was suddenly dropped in our laps. It is of great importance. We want to make thorough preparation.” John J, Wilson, industry attorney, jumped to his feet and charged that the Justice Department attitude “is one of stalling.” “I should have thought,” Mr. Wilson said, “that the governent would know what the law wi before the (seizure) order was issued, and would not have to do its research afterward.” Jeeps Hands Off The court developments followed an assertion by President Truman that he will not attempt to force a wage settiement—as recommended by the Wage Stabilization Board—on the steel industry while it is bargaining with the CIO United Steelworkers. Acting Defense Mobilizer John R, Steelman met for almost an hour this morning with Philip Murray, president of the steelworkers union and the CIO, and then met with negotiators of the steel industry's big six.
