Drew Pearson's Sunday . forecast fore-cast that the attorney general's office would give an adverse ruling, is opposed by a Monday story in New York's P. M.. whose Washington correspondent said the bid will not be blocked by the department of justice. Weighed Weigh-ed against these two is the statement state-ment yesterday . by Katherine Johnson, Deseret News Washington Washing-ton correspondent, who said: "Justice department spokesmen have unofficially indicated to The News that there is disagreement among top stratum of the department depart-ment on the position which should be taken on disposal to United States Steel." One Washington source said that whereas an opinion from the attorney general seemed In prospect Monday or today, developments Monday night indicated the decision will be more remote than that. Aside from Wendell Berge's statement yesterday that he did not think the decision would be ready "within two weeks," the department of justice has given no indication of when it will deliver its opinion. This brought forth fears in some circles that U. S. Steel might invoke its 45-day withdrawal rider attached to its bid, if the justice department lingers past June 15 in making its decision. At the time of submitting its bid, U. S. Steel specified it might be withdrawn if not accepted in 45 days. June 15 will be the deadline, and while the bid has been technically tech-nically accepted by the WAA, it still must get past the justice department. de-partment. Just what light in which U. S. Steel officials will consider this angle was the subject sub-ject of considerable anxiety by those who feared the U. S. Steel bid might be withdrawn.

Johnson, D., Colo., today proposed thai congress outlaw out-law the re-draft of veterans. .Johnson told a reporter he would offer a veteran-exempting amendment to the draft extension exten-sion bill now before the senate. The present draft law expire June 30. "I'm reliably informed that they they are reclassifying veterans veter-ans and are planning to re-draft some of them," Johnson said. Johnson took the attitude that a young man who has served in the armed forces and been returned re-turned to civilian life should not be called upon for further service serv-ice unless he volunteers. He contended that if the war department, would pursue an aggressive ag-gressive program for voluntary enlistments it could maintain its announced goals of 1,500,000 men on July 1 this year and 1,070,000 a year without the draft. At the same time, he said, the army could release all its present draftees as they complete 18 months of service.

Chief Prosecutor Prose-cutor Joseph B. Keenan charged today before the isternational crimes tribunal. Keenan's 15,000 word opening statement blamed former premier Hideki Tojo and 27 other former members of the government for callously and madly conducting a war to satisfy their imperialist ambitions. That plan for world domination domina-tion included personal gain for the defendants through brutalities, brutal-ities, rape and pillage of entire towns and the use of opium against the Chinese to weaken their will to fight, he charged. Keenan spent nearly three hours listing specific charges the prosecution would prove in its fight to convict the defendants of conspiring to smash the peace of Asia, and seek world domination domina-tion through a gigantic plot. Keenan's list of specific atrocities atroci-ties included: 1. That Japanese military cliques cli-ques and ultra-nationalist societies so-cieties resorted to rule by assassination. assas-sination. 2. Japan concluded a secret military alliance with Germany at the same time she made the anti-comintern pact in 1936. 3. In the early days of the con spiracy between Germany, Italy and Japan, the Japanese decided to go to war with United States to further her sea policy. 4. Hitler gave the Japanese two submarines with plans to use them based on German experi ence in macnme-gunning or otherwise destroying survivors of torpedoed ships. 5. The defendants ordered vio lations of known rules of warfare in torturing prisoners and civilians civil-ians and wiping out entire towns and populations. 6.

He made the statement as the navy began lining up men to sail' the merchant fleet if the strike goes on. , Curran hinted that the unions would not hold out for a 40-hour week. "We think we have proved, at least for reasonable people, peo-ple, that the 40-hour week is possible at sea," he told a reported. re-ported. "The ship owners so far have offered nothing but rejection to all our proposals. propos-als. The unions will continue to insist that the 56-hour week at sea can be cut" Meanwhile, one of the unions agreed to submit a "compromise package" of demands to Pacific coast ship owners. V. J. Malone, president of the Marine Firemen's union, and J. B. Bryan, president of the Pacific Pa-cific Coast Ship Owners associa tion, told reporters the union would submit the compromise de mands tomorrow. War of Nerves Malone called the navy order for volunteers to man ships in event of a strike "part of the government's war of nerves" against unions. The Marine Firemen's union is an independent group. The other six unions threatening the strike are tiu aiiiuaies. Malone and Bryan made their announcement after the first ne gotiating session called by the labor department since they came here from the Pacific coast a week ago. The bargaining committee of the National Maritime Union (CIO) met meanwhile with Atlantic and Golf coast employers to negotiate on new company and union counterproposals. In dispatches to all naval in stallations in the United States, Navy Secretary James Forrestal ordered commanding officers to screen reserve officers, former enlisted men and volunteers who could man the merchant ships "when and if required." The order was issued, Forrestal For-restal said, "to meet the imminent im-minent critical situation confronting con-fronting the country caused by the pending merchant marine ma-rine strike." Forrestal's order followed President Truman's promise to use the navy to keep the ships moving if 200,000 Martime union members leave their jobs to en force wage and hour demands. The navy secretary directed shore station commanders to enlarge en-large their personnel to recruit men needed to replace the Mari time union members. Commanders were ordered to report within 24 hours the num ber of officers and enlisted men now on their posts who are ex perienced in handling and stowing stow-ing cargo, either dry or fuel.

Strike Truman Urged To Put Veto On Case Bill WASHINGTON, June 4 (U.R) Democratic members of the house pro-labor bloc today increased pressure on President Truman to veto the Case anti-strike bill with a warning that its becoming law might jeopardize their political chances in the fall elections. The Case measure, which would' provide a 60-day "cooling off" period for strikes in vital industries in-dustries and permit court injunctions in-junctions against unions under certain circumstances, is on the president's desk for his action. Mr. Truman conferred for more than an hour yesterday with legislative leaders but gave them no clue whether he would approve ap-prove or veto the measure. White House aides said the president was studying the bill "from all angles, and had received much advice about it, pro and con." Rep. Henry M. Jackson and John M. Coffee, Washington Democrats, revealed they were circulating a petition urging the president to veto the Case bill. Coffee said the petition had been signed by 77 representatives and "we expect to get more. He added that the petition assures the president its signers will not override his veto. Meanwhile, 44 representatives heard several union leaders denounce de-nounce the Case bill and the president's emergency labor legislation legis-lation at an informal meeting. Representatives of the CIO, AFL, Railroad Brotherhoods and International Association of Machinists declared that the two bills would set labor back several years. Petrillo Assails Foes In Congress ST. PETERBURG, Fla., June 4 (U.R) President James C. Petrillo Petril-lo of the American Federation of Musicians today brandished a double-barreled threat at the American broadcasting industry in retaliation for the recently--enacted Lea or "anti - Petrillo" Petril-lo" bin. The fiery AFM leader told delegates to the Federations' annual an-nual convention that if the Lea measure is held constitutional by the U. S. Supreme court he would prevent AFM locals at three key cities New York, Chicago and Los Angeles from playing tor broadcasts, and restrict them to local engagements. He also threatened to call another an-other ban on recordings by AFM musicians. The two moves would seriously cripple the broadcasting industry and prevent small network net-work stations from receiving any musical programs except local performances by non-union artists. art-ists. Petrillo loudly denounced the National Association of Broadcasters Broad-casters in an hour-long opening address to the convention ' yesterday yes-terday and charged the NAB had conspired with congress through powerful lobbies to shackle his musicians with a "discriminatory, un-American, undemocratice and unconstitutional act ithe Lea. bill." He also swung his bitter attack on certain congressmen and some high government officials and indirectly in-directly criticized President Truman Tru-man for signing the Lea measure.
