Hans Gunther Sohl president of Germany's August Thyssen-Hutte A. told the American Iron Steel Institute at New York Thursday, nearly 30 per cent of the German market supply of roiled steel came from abroad.

In some products, he said, the foreign share exceeds 50 per cent. All this despite the German steel capability to cover all markets in the nation. This cau.ses the German steel manufacturers (headaches). problem is to find a remedy that will cure us of the pain permanently, but without side effects, A medicine labeled or may relieve these headaches, but it affects the he stated. consequent pain will vary according to the degree to which steel processing industries are engaged in international But to set free trade as a goal no means suggest that we should ride the principle to Herr Sohl said.

There will always be special situations in particular countries when internal economic difficulties conflict with the target of free trade. I think it would be unfair and unwise to leave a country in that situation unaided in the search for a solution of its Sohl called for equal competitive conditions for all steel industries, expaining he means that preferences and restrictions should be Ah, yes, somewhat consoling to learn that others have headaches too, that their medicines give them side effects, and that their doctors come up with different diagnoses and prognoses. But it still aches, it? A 'Vlcrniaid Yet? Veteran Ohio River watchers, long accustomed to strange sights, are still occasionally startled by things observed in the passing parade on the 981-mile belle Earlier this month, red dye was carried downstream from the Beaver River where it had been tossed in as part of some discharge studies. Only a few years ago, an alligator was found on ihe Newell shore. Around June 4-5, the Duquesne Ught Co.

This continuing display of the bizarre in the flotsam and jetsam of the Ohio gives the old snag starers hope of some dav perhaps tomorrow of spotting a real, live, lovely mermaid frolicking in the wake of a towboat. The Unfair Generalization Some of us are getting more than a little tired of being blamed, unjustly in our minds, for many of the ills which beset this nation. Take, for example, the Report of The National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders. It is a very comprehensive work which has put its finger accurately on many of the basic causes of civil disorders in this nation.

And it has made recommendations which obviously are sound. BUT, LIKE SO MANY such studies, it is guilty, at times, of overstatement. An instance in point is found in this statement from the summary: every American it will require new attitudes, new understanding, and. above all, new This total generalization is unjust. The commission, in censuring American society for creating the conditions which are blamed for causing the riots, has judged us and found us all everyone, guilty.

This is the standard approach in America which finds crime the fault of criminals but of society in general. Under this theory the guilt in lawbreaking and other misbehavior is not attributed to the individual but to the failure of the taxpayers to spend more money for housing, welfare, education and in other areas. One wonders how this attribution of blame will stand up in view of recent medical findings which tend to indicate that a certain chernical imbalance and the possession of an additional 1 male chromosome causes aggressiveness which often results in criminal acts. But, aside from that, the federal government has created a climate of indulgence, which has been supported if not originated by decisions of the Supreme Court. This indulgence of lawbreakers and other irresponsible citizens has resulted in the self-reliant being blamed for much that goes wrong.

Unbelievably outrageous behavior is excused if the offenders are among thase citizens termed THERE ARE THOSE among us who, contrary to tlie report on civil disorders, do not need to develop a new attitude, new understanding or a new will. For many of us have been in sympathy with, have understood and have been working for precisely what the Keener report recommends. Admittedly there have not been enougli of us and perhaps we have not worked hard enough, but to lump us with those who deserve the criticism leveled by the advisory report is unju.st. What kind of ju.stice Is it to saddle Americans with the collective guilt of some of our progenitors. We cannot be held accountable or responsible for their conduct unless we, ourselves, condone it and perpetuate it.

Richard Nixon, for one, has had the courage to say that the civil disorders report everybody for the riots except the perpetrators of the His words clearly phrase the feelings of many who are tired of being blamed unjustly. Letters To The Editor KDITOR or THE REVIEW: Ohio University- has hit the news with its recent disturbances. However the underlying cau.ses were not made very clear to the public. On national television it was stated that the students of Ohio University rioted they wanted out of school two weeks While this is true it is hardty the point. I hope I can clarify for my home city certain issues and secure a little of the lost respect to the students of Ohio University.

Of course I do not condone the violence such as occurred Sunday night. The students who participated in that disturbance were wrong in their actions. However they expressed the feelings of practically every member of this university. Pressures on students this quarter have been great; some have been unavoidable, others unnecessary. We have been under a bureaucracy instead of an administration that follows democratic procedure in solving its problems.

However, we must all recognize that the administration acts with the best intentions for the students, even though this fact is not always visible. There are many petty problems here which are known only to the students, such as deleted courses often preventing students from being graduated; overcrowding In dorms; housing procedures which force upper men out of residence hall in which they have lived since freshman, and freshmen into outside hou.sing before they- prepared; and mis- allpcation of funds, to name only a few. yjhen students must live with problems such as these, even though seemingly educational processes are thwarted. Under the threat of a strike, these minor situations gained momentum. When students received word of a possible strike on May 20, and the following cancellation of classes should a strike occur, learning stopped in anticipation of outcome.

Students felt that the strike would be an answer and an end to their frustrations. The publicity given the strike gave it the ring of inevitability. When the strike was averted, gasoline was added to toe fire that has been burning under the student body this entire year. Not that the students really wanted the nonacademic employees to strike again, just that the anticipated suddenly blew up in faces. Tlie unfortunate demon- last Sunday was because the students desired a termination of the term.

However NOT because we are immature who are tired of playing college, but rathar young adults who have had all the frustration and they can take in one year. My only regret is that a MINORITY of students could not find the correct channel through which to release their feelings of hostility, and DID in fact behave like children. It is unfortunate however when the irresponsible action of a few have to reflect upon all the students here. Please understand (hat I am not making ex- cu.ses for violence, but rather attempting to make you see the underlying causes for the disturbance. 1 was proud of ('iliio as a freshman; I am proud of it now as a junior.

It is through this pride that I am writing this letter to uphold the respect that this university deserves. I take pride also in the administration toat has been blasphemed by the students. Granted there are problems here, and through a lack of communication between students and administrators those problems have remained unsolved or have grown larger. We are trying to prevent the reoccurrance of another year like tois one. We are hoping to return in the fall without the toreat of a strike hanging over us and the administration, and without the possibility of the cancellation of the fall quarter.

I hope I have made it quite clear that the majority of us are not a lot of immature hotheads, but rather are genuinely concerned with the progress of Ohio University OUR university. BETSY BROOMHALL Ohio Univeraty EDITOR OF THE REVIEW: I would like to express a few thoughts on a situation tihat exists in Calcutta at the entrance to tlve Plaza and next to the First National Bank. When leaving the Plaza, and going toward Calcutta, why do most drivers get so far to the left in the entrances area? This makes drivers coming from Calcutta to the Plaza cut over into the bank lot to make entrance. Is it not proper to stay to the extreme right with the left turn signal They pull to toe left lane to go down Route 170 when they stop for St. Clair Ave would ROBERT F.

The of a hurrricane is the central gion, about 14 miles across, which is perfectly peaceful and calm. The Revolutionaries Dream WASHINGTON In tottering France, the In America, the extremists. Just as, for the moment in France, the black flag has replaced the red, the revolutionary left here has been edging the toward the brink. Young as is, vocal as it is, activist as it is, old in comparison with the shadow-y, unknown world of this revolutionary left liberation commissions. freedom committees, action movements, offshoots.

splinters, slivers and cells, many of them armed Victor Riesel with machine guns, new rifles, cherry bombs, guerrilla street war plans and screaming newspapers. Each movement is tiny. Each nihilist cell is minuscular. Each is scoffed at by the other sects, and mention of them brings snickers from Ihe intellectual elite. But now toat a 23-year-old French student from the Parisian suburbs touched off a movement which triggered sitdow-ns of 5 to 8 million workers, the laughter is not as loud or as it was yesterday.

World comes from J. Edgar Hoover who never wastes his words, sources, informers or agents, that the new-est revolutionary left is as dangerous to toe U.S. as the rampant nihilism is in France. REVOLUTIONARY stand taken by many members of militant black nationalist says ihe FBI director (referring to one segment of the ultraleft), a distinct threat to the internal security of the nation. This situation has made it necessary for the FBI to intensify its intelligence operation in this field through penetration of these groups with informants and sources in order to be kept aware of their plans and objectives.

penetration has been made at all levels, including the top echelon of these extremist The Bureau knows of cases of machine guns and rifles cached by extremists in ghetto areas. There is a newspaper in central city, the claiming 10,000 readers, which has given detailed instructions on the making of antiperswmel explosives and firebombs. There is the Revolutionary Action Movement, which maintains contact with its leader, Robert F. Williams, now in mainland China. Certainly it has but 50 members.

But three times what the French 23-year-old had as a confrontation legion three weeks ago on the outskirts of Paris. Cynics may laugh. But the Communist parties They know toat this young French nihilist leader called toe Soviet Communists Here, the Communist Party, led by the aging Gus Hall, is quite agitated. being pricked into bleeding by the splinters which whirled off from the American Communist establishment. These kids want to play rough.

Their leaders shuttle between the U.S. and Cuba. THERE IS. FOR EXAMPLE, the Progressive I.abor Party with its Black Liberaticwi Commission led by Bill Epton, who knows much about rifles and has been convicted of conspiracy to riot for the part he played in the 1964 Harlem flare-up. These 20- to 25-year-olds are 1917-1919 vintage revolutionists.

Their grandfathers, apocrj'phaliy speaking, trained for the revolution in the Michigan woods away back then. But these kids playing. To the Progressive Labor Party revoluticHiists, SDS (Students for a Society) is milk toast campus capers for the boys and girls. The PLP is interested in inside the working class. Only the proletariat, they say, can bring the nation to a So the disciplined young men and women sneer at the Trotskyites, the Socialists Workers Party, toe Johnson-Forest Group, the Workers World Party, the Revolutionary Committee of the Fourth International, or remnants of the Workers League World revolution come from these say the PLP theoreticians.

The way to the barricades Is via workers action. SO THIS PLP, MAO IST motivated, sends it cadres into the teachers federation, retail unions, toe garment workers, the auto union, the railroad brotherhoods and shops manned by Negroes and PuertoRicans. Th PLP direct actionists prod students to organize factory Last year, it was in Boston and five other cities. This summer be at it again. They hope to base-build with the new workers, especially in munitions plants, transport, and other bottlenecks.

The old Communist did just this inside the old CIO 30 years ago. Today the new revolutionists have no such central direction. But money. motivation. a romantic haven in Cuba.

a real proletariat among whom to work, in real ghettos. The extremists may get no place here with their cells and confrontations and black flags and secret societies and military training. But laugh not. It take much to bloody a city, shut a plant, cut communications. These young people action.

unleash it. This is a very permissive society. W'orld gang, who are u-e campaigning for this DAVID LAWkEHeE Rights Taken? Nobody in official life would venture to exaM communism but. little bv little, owners of private property are being deprived of their rights through rulings of the Supreme Court of the United States. The latest decision nroclaims that, even though a number of stores may combine to have their own private parking lot, this cannot be protected asainst picke'ing by labor-union advocates or by minority-group The case decided this week by the high court overruled a Pennsylvania state court which had enjoined picketing of the parcel-pickup area of a supermarket and the adjacent parking lot in a suburban shopping center JUSTICE Thurgood Marshall, however.

In writing the majority opinion, dealt not merely with toe activities of labor-union pickets who were trying to keep business away from stores whose employes were non union, but also broadened picketing rights so as to include protesting shoddy nr overpriced merchandise, and minority groups seeking nondiscriminatory hiring policies that a contrary decision here would The net effect of the Sunrcme Court opinion Is that a parking lot owned and operated by private businesses are nevertheless subject to picketing and No account is taken of the possible losses or damage the retail stores might suffer because of the Justice Byron White, who w.as attorney during toe administration of President Kennedy, wrote in a dissenting no sense are any parts of the shopping center dedicated to the public for general purposes or the occupants of the plaza exercising official powers. The public is invited to the premises but only in order to do business with those who maintain there. TTic invitation is to shop for the which are sold. There is no general invitation to use the parking lot, the pick-up zone, or the sidewalk except as an adjunct to shopping. one is invited to use the parking lot as a place to park his car wtoile he goes elsewhere to work.

The driveways and lanes for auto traffic are not offered for use as general thoroughfares leading from one public street to another Those driveways and parking spaces aro not public streets and thus availab'e for parades, public meetings, or other activities for which public streets are Justice Hugo Black, in another opinion, held that the state injunction was valid. He said: believe that w'hether this court likes it or not the Constitution recognizes and supports the concept of private ownership of property The Fifth Amendment provides that person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private be taken for public use without just means to me that there is not right to picket on toe private premises of another to try to convert the owoier or others to the views of the pickets. It also means. think, that if this court Is going to arrogate to it.self tibe power to act as the agent to toke a part of Weis' property to give to the pickets for their use, Ihe court should also award Weis just compen.sation for the property ALTHOUGH THE CASE on which the decision was rendered this week arose out of picketing by labor unions, the ruling opens up the whole question of whether the premises of a retail establishment is a place to which anybody can have access at any time for such as arguing with customers in a store that thev should refrain from buying goods until the owner changes his attitude on a public issue. Certainly this is a broader interpretation of the concept than has ever been rendered before by the Supreme Court of the United States.

The significance of the ruling may have far-reaching effects not merely on labor-union controversies but on the rights of and crusaders to intrude on private property. The real question is who is going to compensate the store owner when his business is di- injured' by the license now apparently- given by the Supreme Court to or pickets to damage at will the owner of any business without incurring any responsibility for the loss.
