It will be the worst scandal yet of the Truman Administrat ion. SteI Troubles CIO President Philip Murray is worried about the coal strike for many reasons. For one thing, tens of thousands of steel workers are being laid off. More important, the coal strike is threatening to wipe out the 15 bmion dollars in proiits big business built .up ciurmg 1940. 4Murray was hoping to base new wage claims on tnese proiits so as not to cause new price increases, if the strike continues until after January 1, the CiO may have to remap its vMiuiu w ae-mcrease drive, ki.owdowa Over U.

At this point Uncle Andy nearly burst. Cal ling in Koosevelt friends, he told them that next day. instead of introducing. Roosevelt, he would conu-i out publicly for Dewey. Finally Henry Morgcnthau was persuaded to call of his treasury dogs for the time being, and Higgins made his Philadelphia speech. Later ne retained the law firm of Hugh Fulton, former counsel to the Truman committee, to help handle his tax matters. It is understood the taxes are being paid up on the installment plan.
