(UP)—The CIO tonight seized on a labor union dispute involving the American Locomotive Co. as the means of trying for a quick supreme test of the Taft-Hartley's entire national emergency provisions. Arthur S. Goldberg, CIO general counsel, told reporters that big labor organization has been waiting patiently for an opportunity to challenge the T-H law's national emergency procedure and decide a case now developing offers the chance. Goldberg's statement came after President Truman instructed the justice department to obtain an injunction to halt a strike at the Dunkirk, N. Y. plant of the American Locomotive Co. The company produces materials which Truman said are vital to construction of atomic energy plants. It was for that reason the president is invoking the 80-day injunction provided by the Taft-Hartley act which Truman had repeatedly denounced. The struck plant has been shut down since Aug. 29 in a dispute over terms of a new work contract. The justice department probably will apply for the "cooling-off" period injunction tomorrow at Buffalo. If H is granted, Goldberg said the CIO will attack it on the ground that in writing the Taft-Hartley law congress did not declare strikes to be illegal, but merely attempted to confer upon a federal court the right to enjoin emergency strikes. In the absence of any language denying a national emergency strike as a crime, Goldberg contends it is unconstitutional for such a strike to be enjoined by declaration of a federal court. Search Party Finds 13 Dead In Wreckage RIVERSIDE, Dec. 11. (UP)—All 13 men aboard a C-47 transport plane that crashed into 11,485-foot Mt. San Gorgonio Dec. 1 are dead.

Attorney H. Rodger Howell and Engineer Paul Bailey of the Orange county district will confer with King on progress of a movement in the two upriver counties toward annexing that territory to the Metropolitan Water District, so that the cities and rural territory there can import Colorado river water, as Orange county is doing.

Upriver interest have been advised that if the two counties join MWD, as Orange county has done, the injunction suit will not be pressed. The suit was filed Oct. 1, 1951.

Truman Says He'll Have New WSB This Week—With Industry Members WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. (AP) — President Truman and his economic stabilizer said today they have licked the problem of getting business men back on the wage stabilization board. Truman told a news conference he expects to have the crippled board back on its feet before the end of the week, with a whole new panel of industry representatives. The board fell apart last Saturday when all seven of its industry members quit en masse with a bitter blast at Truman's intervention in the soft coal miners' wage case. They said Truman's overruling of a board decision in the case made the controls program a "mockery." Pressure immediately began building up from business organizational issues. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. (P)—President Truman and his economic stabilizer said today they have licked the problem of getting business men back on the wage stabilization board. Truman told a news conference he expects to have the crippled board back on its feet before the end of the week, with a whole new panel of industry representatives. The board fell apart last Saturday when all seven of its industry members quit en masse with a bitter blast at Truman's intervention in the soft coal miners' wage case. They said Truman's overruling of a board decision in the case made the controls program a "mockery." Pressure immediately began building up from business organizations and at least one big labor organization — the CIO — for a junking of controls. But Truman said today he would have plenty of volunteers from Industry's ranks for the vacant wage board seats before the week is out. Good men, too, he added. He also expects to have a new economic stabilization administrator when Roger Putnam steps out of that post on Jan. 1. Putnam who bowed to the president's action in the coal case although he was against it, followed up by telling reporters the problem of reconstructing the wage board "has been solved." Putnam said at least half a dozen business men and industrialists, including "some quite big names," have telegraphed him that they disagreed with the action taken by the industry members who quit the wage board. He said he has sent the names of seven or eight men who have agreed to serve on the board to the White House. New Road Ruling SACRAMENTO (CNS) — The State Highway Commission may construct a highway through a city and close or alter city streets without the consent of the city, Attorney General Edmund G. Brown ruled today. He held, however, that the state could not change nor vacate city streets without the city's agreement. Should a freeway in effect close a city street, Brown wrote, the interest of the state must prevail, since State highways are of state-wide concern.

Korea Demagoguery President Slams the Door On Proposals for Meeting By ROGER D. GREENE WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (P)—President Truman today denounced President-elect Eisenhower’s trip to Korea as a piece of demagoguery and said he doubts that Gen. MacArthur has any solution to end the Korean war. Virtually alarming the door on proposals for a White House meeting with Eisenhower and MacArthur, the president told his news conference he believes such a conference would serve no useful purpose. The proposals had been made by members of Congress. Truman said that as a matter of courtesy he would be glad to see Eisenhower and MacArthur at any time if they have anything to discuss. But he made it clear the initiative would have to come from them. The president also made it plain that although he considers it MacArthur’s duty as a soldier to come forward if he has any solution for the war—and to present it through military channels—Truman does not plan to force the general’s hand. It is a little late for that now, the president said. In scornful fones, Truman said he double that MacArthur has anything new to offer beyond the proposals made last year and rejected by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And he accused MacArthur of giving him what he termed a lot of mis-information about events in Korea when they met on Wake Island to discuss the Far East Vera Auest First Woman Elected Chamber Director A precedent of 31 years standing was upset this week when Mrs. Jim (Vera) Auest of Mercury Stationers and Printers was elected to the Board of Directors of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce.

The crew of 42 and 11 passent, including four children, were cled up safely by the Coast and by commercial craft before the combination freight passenger vessel sank stern at about midway between GoldGate Bridge and Alcatraz Isl. prison. The Fernstream was rammed adship, on the port side, by the Jason freighter, Hawaiian RanchThe Rancher, not damaged fully, proceeded under her own um to a shipyard for survey, carried five passengers and cargo of 8000 tons of raw sugar in 2000 tons of molasses from wall. The accident occurred in a sea, murkey drizzle. The surface the bay was quite smooth. The fernstream was outbound for Nila, Hong Kong and Yokohama. The Hawaiian Rancher had crossed under Golden Gate edge to enter the bay. It is a little late for that now, the president said. In scornful fones, Truman said he double that MacArthur has anything new to offer beyond the proposals made last year and rejected by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And he accused MacArthur of giving him what he termed a lot of mis-information about events in Korea when they met on Wake Island to discuss the Far East situation in Oct. 14, 1950. As for Eisenhower's trip to the Korean War zone, Truman blunfly said the president-elect's announcement during the political campaign that he planned to go to Korea was demagoguery. Webster's New International Dictionary defines a demagogue as "one skilled in arousing the prejudices and passions of the populace by rhetoric, sensational charges, specious arguments, catch words, cajolery, etc.' ... in order to gain political influence or office." The president said that during the campaign he himself had been urged to announce that he would go to Korea and that the war would be over by Christmas. He turned the proposal down, he said.

Badge of Honor By REV. Wm. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church "So you are an Eagle Scout?" remarked Judge George W. Martin to Ray Scott. "Well, that's enough for me. I don't believe an Eagle Scout would commit robbery. I believe you are telling the truth, and I am going to dismiss the charge. Also, I'll get you a job as a sailor." Thus the fact that Scott, a youth of 19, was an Eagle Scout saved him from prosecution and resulted in his securing a job, when he was brought before Judge Martin to answer a charge of burglary. "I'm an Eagle Scout, your honor," said Scott, as he faced the judge. "I've never done anything to dishonor my standing as such," and as indicated by the United Press, the judge accepted the lad's statements, and immediately became interested in him. The sequel was related as follows: Judge Martin went to the telephone, called the Seaman's Institute, and half an hour later Ray Scott was signed up for a voyage as a sailor. While there is so much dishonesty in the world, it is refreshing to learn that there are still many young men and women who will not go back upon their Scout oath and will remain honest under all kinds of temptation. The writer of the Book of Hebrews says, "Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly." (13:18) Let's make this our morning prayer today.
