Big business power under debate in auto and steel sectors
The Business Mirror notes two fronts of scrutiny. Small auto firms warn a 20 cent per hour wage benefit pact between GM and Ford could drive them out of business. Congress probes steel mergers, with hearings on market power and the need to boost capacity to meet future demand. Bethlehem and Youngstown tout a merger to expand capacity while the Justice Department worries about giants squeezing smaller rivals. Bethlehem’s Arthur Homer projects industry growth to 180 to 190 million tons annually within 15 years.

Dixon-Yates Showdown Faces House Clash
Washington reports the House moves toward a private versus public power clash over the Dixon-Yates agreement. Republicans seek to strip a 60 million TVA funding provision for a Fulton Tennessee steam plant from an appropriations bill, aiming to fund a transmission line for Dixon-Yates power instead. Debate centers on the contract approved by Eisenhower and opposed by many Democrats, with leaders framing it as an attack on TVA and public power.
