Full 26-Gent Steel Wage Hike Hinted
Sawyer Expected To Rule Tuesday
By United Press
WASHINGTON, Apr. 19— Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer is considering a government - imposed] 26-cent hourly pay boost for the CIO United Steelworkers, the amount recommended by the Wage Stabilization Board, informed sources said today. Mr. Sawyer, who has been nominally running the steel in. dustry since it was seized by the government Apr. 8, is expected to decide Tuesday the size of the increase to impose on the coms panies if a settlement is not reached by then.

Not Daunted by HST
By United Press {
WASHINGTON, Apr. 19—S8enate economy advocates said today | they won't be “intimidated” by President Truman's threat to keep Congress in session this summer until it passes his military budget. They defended the House's cuts in military spending as ‘“com- , pletely justified” and said they would not be “stampeded” into restoring the money by any “dic tatorial” threat by the President. Mr. Truman, criticizing the| House cuts’ as “terribly danger-| ous,” warngd yesterday he would recall Congress this summer if it adjourns without the Senate restoring all the funds he asked for national defense.
Opening of New Fight?
Some Congressmen viewed the President's threat as the opening attack in a slam-bang fight with the lawmakers.’ They felt that] Mr. Truman, free from re-elec-| tion worries, had finally pulled,
out all the stops in his long-| smouldering feud with Congress. | Senate Republican Leader Styles Bridges (N. H.) charged) that Mr. Truman “has thrown| the Constitution to the winds anrd| is attempting to seize the power, of . appropriations, the power to control the purse strings"
Mr. Truman accused the House of a “fake” economy drive, motivated by election-year politics and a desire for headlines.
“This may be an election year here,” he said, “but the Kremlin won't take a vacation simply because of our politics, If we weaken, if we fall back, the Kremlin will see a chance to move in.”
Sen. Bridges retorted that “merely because the executive branch of the government labels a request as ‘defense’ is no guarantee to us or the taxpayers that it is a ‘ust’ item.” 8 The House cut Mr. Truman's $50,921,000,000 military appropria-|
tions request to $48,207,000,000|
and slapped a $46 billion limit on| actual military spending in fiscal 1953. In a speech yesterday before the Amvets, a World War II veterans organization, Mr. Truman said: “If T have to call a special ‘turnip day’ session every day until Jan. 1, we are going to get this thing done and get it done right.” The “turnip day” reference was to his action in 1948 when he went before the Democratic National Convention at Philadelphia to accept the presidential nomination and summoned the Repub-lican-controlled 80th Congress| back in special session. He recalled Congress on July 26— “turnip day” in Missouri.

Three Dead In Farm Fire
Times State Service RENSSELAER, Apr. 19—A Jasper County farmer and his [two young sons were burned to death this morning in a fire that {destroyed their farm home a mile north of Kinman. His wife and their two daughters, one just a week old, were not home. Dead were: Leonard Basil Girard, 47. Albert Leonard Girard, 14, Paul Edward Girard, 9. Their bodies were found hudidled together between two beds.

May Get Out Sooner
The depratment also emphasized that not all men affected by the extension would be required to serve the full period and that no man would be kept on duty any longer than absolutely nec essary. It said the step was taken “with reluctance and only because it was absolutely necessary in the light of the serious international situation and then only for nine months rather than the 12 auth. orized.” Bince the beginning of the Korean War, the department asid, the Armed Forces have been building up rapidly and it is important to retain experienced and {trained men in order to season recruits and to continue training
