President Truman called Pre-

Fairless sident Benjamin United States Steel Corporation and the CIO President, Mr Philip Murray, to confer with him at

the White House on Thursday nurning. Both accepted the in- vitation. The acting Defence Mobiliner, Jahn Steelman, will sit in on the talks.

Mr Lovett told a news con- ference that
