THE NATION'S RECONVERSION FROGRAM sputters along jerkily as the biggest strike in the country's history, a walkout of 750,000 steel workers, lays idle 1,300 plants in a virtually complete shutdown. The nation-wide strike, coming after Benjamin Fairless, U. S. Steel's president, rejected President Truman's fact-finding board's offer of an lS'-cent increase that was accepted by CIO chief, Philip Murray, draws the national spotlight as observers believe a settlement there would force out of deadlock the labor-management disputes that are responsible for the meat, auto and electrical shutdowns, involving a total of 663,000 more workers. The impact of a prolonged strike in steel, the nation's basic Industry, is expected, therefore, to deal a serious blow to the company's beleaguered citizens attempting to gain a footing on a slippery peacetime economy.

do not agree."
But some of his fellow partisans do agree. Republican Senator Young of North Dakota, for example, thinks the president was justified in criticizing Congress. On the other hand, Democratic Senator Johnson of Colorado, in effect follows the Taft line, suggesting that Mr. Truman do more about strikes himself. These emments emphasize a fundamental difference between the opposition setup in America and in England. The anti-administratioivforces here include both Republican and Democratic conservatives. The American two-party system is not too well equipped to cope with such a bipartisan mixture of complications. ' .

TONIGHT ONLY Jan. 24
President Truman will have $3,000 left after paying taxes and expenses out of his $75,000 salary. Will he strike for a 30 per cent increase? That dream honse.of many a post-war young couple still seems to be up on high-price stilts without any steps leading to it.

Such a stupid mistake he'd made.
"Hold your tonguel" William bellowed and flung out of the room and spent . . .
. the night in Hobson's Saloon
Marianne and William had been married 18 months, yet it was with reluctance one day's end that he turned homeward from the forest. Samuel and Susanna Kelly he and Marianne had been' married from their home were coming for a visit. Tonight Marianne would cook a special meal, and Tai Haruru would dine with them; and they would have a little festivity. It was a damned shame that Marianne would never invite old Scant and Isaae, his workmen, to dinner, but she disliked them and took no trouble to conceal her dislike. William smiled bitterly as he walked along remembering Marianne's biting sarcasm that reduced old Scant and Isaac to speechless misery, and the cold silence that greeted the visits of Tai Haruru, to whom, as her husband's partner, gae could not refuse hospitality. Tai Haruru was a
match for her, and silence was her best refuge against him. Suddenly William stopped and slashed with his stick at the ferns bordering the path. Oh, God, he thought, this cursed hatred of his for Marianne and hers for his friends. He found it difficult, now, after the unhappiness of the 1 last 18 months, to remember with exactitude the details of his wedding day and night. The shock of seeing Marianne upon the deck of the Green Dolphin, when he had expected Marguerite, had knocked him silly. How could he have made that stupid mistake in his letter to Octavius? ' After the wedding they had returned to the Parsonage, where the Kellys had placed the guest room at their disposal. Some time after dinner, Samuel, blundering fool, had started quoting from the wedding psalms: "Oh well is thee,' and happy shalt thou
"Hold your tongue!" William had bellowed and flung out of the room., Down the hill he had raced to Hobson's Saloon; and there spent the night . . . What a fool he had been! What a fool! Why hadn't he sent her home? Why? Why? She loved him, he knew, and it was because of his. stupid mistake that she was here. Well, the thing is ddne,' He had returned to the Parsonage next morning much the worse for wear, to find Marianne, face dead white, with dark smudges benet-Ji sleepless eyes waiting. And. so it had been during the long wagon journey to their home. "William! William!". Marianne had cried -at her first glimpse of the house he had built for Marguerite. "You built this for me?" He smiled and Marianne turned and hungrily flung her arms around his neck. (Continued Monday)
