Mr. Truman said the effects of the steel strike are becoming increasingly serious and are beginning to affect defense production and to threaten to such every industry in the country.

Prolongs Agony .

Mr. Truman said Congress could not tell him what to do because the Taft-Hartley Law was permissive legislation for peacetime use, . Asked why he did not avail himself of the 80-day cooling off period provided by the law, the President said that 99 days had been used in the same manner

An additional 80 days, he said, ould just prolong the agony. The Senate has voted to “request” Mr. Truman to use the Tatt-Hartiey Act. "The House is expected to follow suit. Mr. Truman admitted that use of the Taft-Hartley Law is under consideration, but he volunteered that congressional action would not have any bearing on his ulti-| mate decision.

Chides Taft, Ike

President Truman also said that taxes should be increased to meet the federal deficit and chided political candidates who talk of cutting taxes. Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) has pledged himself to reduce taxes by 15 per cent in two years if he
