O'Mahoney, D., Wyo., told big steel tonight that any new price increase would bring "outraged indignation" from congress and the public. He said in a statement that there is "reason to believe" that the "real purpose" of United States Steel's decision to abandon the controversial multiple basing bas-ing point" price system if "to seek on- opportunity to raise steel prices again in the present seller's maricei ana aitrioute tn increas ed ,.: cost to ; th,- decision at the supreme court and the federal trade commission." This, he said. - would be "characteristic mono polls tic move." President Benjamin Fairless an nounced ' Wednesday that U. S Steel will drop the multiple ba ing point system in light of a re cent supreme court ruling outlawing outlaw-ing a similar practice in the ce ment industry. The federal trade commission contends such pricing systems stifle competition. Under the mul tiple basing practice, major pro ducers fix different prices in dif ferent areas. U. S. Steel said the system is justified to meet com petition from smaller producers nearer the consumer. - O'Mahoney, a Democratic vice presidential possibility, often has criticized steel price policies in particular and monopolies in general. He was chairman of the prewar pre-war temporary national economic eco-nomic committee which recommended rec-ommended that the "basing point" system be outlawed by congress. In his Wednesday announce ment, Fairless said the change in pricing policies might result in higher steel prices to some customers. cus-tomers. To this, O'Mahoney said, -I fear U. S. . Steel is merely trying to lay the basis for a demand that congress change the anti-trust laws under which the supreme court found that "a multiple basing bas-ing point delivered price system for the purpose of suppressing competition' is prohibited."

He withdrew it after a noisy, debate during which many of hit colleagues complain it wM too early to take such action - argued that slnder -California f law -the delegation- already- Ik , pledged to Mr. Truman, at least oil the first ballot. The delegates met lit a tiny hotel room and tempers grew hot. John P. McEnery. vice' chairman, offered the motion to fire the late President Roosevelt's son from his state party post. He called Roose velt "a hypocrite" and his stop- Truman efforts a "disgrace." After voting to table the Roose velt motion, the delegates debated Malone's proposal. They were not, however, in any mood to agree, and Malone withdrew it. Delegation chairman ' John F Shelley ruled the anti-Roosevelt motion out of order but permitted permit-ted a Vote later. The delegates tabled it 40 to 7.

McEnery earlier had criticized the son of the late president for acting as spokesman of the Cali-fornians Cali-fornians and for being a leader in the preconvention drive to block Mr. Truman's nomination. At the caucus he called Roose velt's . anti-Truman activities ' damnable disgrace." .

The Israeli government ac cepted a proposal to extend the truce agreement for 10 days, but the Arabs rejected the plan, and hostilities were reported through out the Holy Land. Israel announced its acceptance of the short-term truce exten sion in a. note sent by Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok to the United Nations at Lake Success, but Abdul Rahman Azzam Pasha, secretary general of the Arab league, said in Cairo that the Arabs had rejected the proposal.

The new American "get tough" tactics came within 24 hours after publication of western protests to the Kremlin, demanding the Soviet So-viet Union cease its "intolerable" starvation tiege of Berlin. . The Russians announced yes terday they planned daily instrument in-strument training flights along the air corridor to Berlin "near air fields and at logical places", without notifying the Berlin air safety center,, which is supposed to rlay information on planes in the air 'over Germany. The Russians Rus-sians did not say how long the maneuvers would continue. Maj. Gen. W. E.

The letters, as reported by ADN, said the Russians "desire to call the attention of the British command to the fact British planes still systematically violate the most elementary air security rules during their flights over the Soviet zone of occupation. "In spite of the severe air catastrophe on April 5th, which, as it is known, was caused by the British, cases of disorderly flights by British planes through the air corridors . without the permission of Soviet military authorities and even without : information in ad vance are continuing."
