...doors to the Cabinet room closed behind them. At noon, they came out to consult their advisers and have lunch. After lunch they went at it again. At 4:45 p.m., they had an agreement ready to sign, and Steelman came in to witness the signing. Then the trio went to Harry Truman's office. The President listened, called for the press. Like a snappish schoolteacher, he dictated: "Mr. Murray and Mr. Fairless have just advised me that six major steel companies and the United Steelworkers of America (C.I.O.) have reached agreement . . ."

Since World War II, Canadian newsprint prices have shot up from $61 per ton in New York to $116. After last July's $10 boost, U.S. publishers, who get 90% of their newsprint from Canada, complained so vehemently that the Canadian and U.S. governments agreed to consult before any new price rise. But last week came another piece of bad news: the Canadian government authorized an increase of another $10 next month.
