Supreme Court Hears Defense by Perlman
Washington—(U.P.)—Supreme Court justices fired more searching questions at Acting Attorney General Philip B. Perlman today as he resumed his defense of President Truman's steel seizure.
Perlman started his final argument before the high tribunal by saying that Federal District Judge David A. Pine arrested in ordering the steel mills returned to their owners. Perlman contended that the companies had an adequate remedy under other legal procedures if they were harmed by the seizure.
Chief Justice Freed M. Vinson and Associate Justice William O. Douglas questioned him on that point.
Papman had referred to the Peewee Coal case decided by the Supreme Court last term. The court said in that case that the government had to compensate mine owners for financial losses during a period of government seizure during World War II.
"Doesn't that case assume the seizure was legal?" Douglas asked.

Halt Formal Talks In Oil Dispute
Washington—(U.P.)—Chairman Nathan P. Feinberger of the Wage Stabilization board abruptly halted the hearings on the nationwide oil dispute today to give the board a chance to rule on wage settlements already reached in the industry.
The chairman opened and closed the session with a five-minute statement in which he said there was "nothing to be gained by continuing this large meeting"
Feinsinger said the question of what wage boost would fit into board regulations "appears to be the principal obstacle" remaining in the dispute.
Government officials thought there was a "good possibility" that President Truman would use the Taft-Hartley act 90-day no-strike provision if there is no settlement of the two-week walkout by 90,000 oil workers.
not involved," Perlman acknowledged.
Then he cited other precedents which he said show that where damage is done, the government is liable in suits for damages.

DESERTED SCIENCE BUILDING—The strike by AFL laborers has halted all major construction at the University. The above photograph was taken at the new Science building yesterday shortly after the strike got under way. Lumber was left on saw horses and the usually busy pulley ceased operations as the men left their jobs. Kansan photo by Jerry Renner.
Strikers Continue to Picket 4 Campus Building Projects
Strikers today still are picketing four University construction projects.
The only break in the strike was seen when the AFL laborers and the Elbel Construction company signed a working agreement in the building of the A&P store in Lawrence.
The company will pay the re- requested $1.88 an hour if it is approved by the Wage Stabilization board.
The union voted to go on strike in its meeting last Saturday.
Carpenters, electricians, a n d workers in other trades throughout Lawrence are refusing to cross picket lines set up by some 250 members of the laborers union.
George C. Shrewsbury, member of the executive board from the union's home office in Kansas City, Kan.,
said the other company officials are itl "nibbling."
But the officials of the four companies working on University projects — Bennett, Constant, Green, and Eby Construction companies—remained noncommittal.
Keith Lawton, administrative assistant to the chancellor, said the strike still was between the union and the construction company officials and that the University has not interfered with the negotiations.

2 Cars Damaged As Brakes Fail
A wild ride down 14th st. in a car yesterday afternoon resulted in extensive damages to two automobiles, and injuries to one driver. Barbara Dowdell, 534 Michigan st., suffered cuts about the face. Police say faulty brakes may have caused the accident.
Her 1941 Ford went out of control as she started down the hill. By the time she reached Tennessee st. she said she was going about 65 miles an hour. Between Tennessee and Kentucky sts, her car struck a 1939 Chevrolet driven by James E. Crates, engineering sophomore, and pushed his car for about a block.
At 14th and Kentucky sts, the car went over the curb and struck a brick dwelling and stopped.
Miss Dowdell, employed at a University sorority house, also hit a stop sign and a one way street sign on her way down the hill. The one way sign post was neatly clipped off and carried by the car.
The front end of Miss Dowdell's car was demolished. Grates' car received extensive damage to rear end.
Riding with Crates were Willis Stann, and Harlan Unruh, both pharmacy juniors. No injuries were suffered by either.
Miss Dowdell was taken to Lawrence Memorial hospital where she was treated for cuts about the face and was released. She will return today for head X-mays.
