BIG E WELCOMED HOME FROM THE WAR ;
Hazy though it is through the early morning fog, New York City looks mighty good to the
crew members of the USS Enterprise as the big ship pulls into dock intu downttzv:? Manhattan.
BY HAROD W. WARD
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 —(AP)—The government evidenced frank
relief today at John L. Lewis’ sudden move to end the critical soft
coal strikes, leaving speculation over his motives to others.
Labor, reconversion and solid fuels officials hopefully assumed
that the 216,000 striking hituminous coal mirers would return to
work next- Monday ge directed by the Unitect Mine Workers’ pres

The strikes, which-started Sep

lSpeak To Solons
On A-Bomb Control
| BY MAX HALL
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18—(P)—
Men who caused the two greatest
explosions in history got their
chance to create a stir in Congress
today.
Hundreds of scientists who
worked on the atomic bomb joined
in urgent demands that their
spokesmen be heard on President
Truman’s Atomic Energy Bill.
The result: Five noted scientists
marched before the House Mili
tary Committee today. The com
'mittee had overruled Chairman
Andrew May (D-Ky) and reopen
ed its hearings to hear the . ex
perts.
Scheduled so speak their minds
were Dr. Arthur H. Compton, Dr.
J. R. Oppenheimer, Dr. Harold g
Urey, Dr. Leo Szilard, and Dr. H.
L. Anderson.
There were fresh developments
in Congress today on taxes and
the future of the armed forces.
But the big noise was the news
on atomic force. More of that:
The Senate is expected to set
up .a new committee of senators
this afternoon to consider all
atomic matters. Brien McMahon
(D-Conn) heads the list of pros
pects for chairman. He has been
in the Senate less than a year.
Immediate work of the new
Senate group will be to consider
the history-making atomic energy
bill—the same one being studied
by the House Military Committee.
This bill is sponsored by the
Army and White House. It would
create a powerful nine-man com
mission of citizens to boss atomic

organizations, the YMCA, YWCA,
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Salvation

New Cabinet Reinstates Members:
Strike Lends Impetus To Upheaval
BY LAURANCE F. STUNTZ )
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 18.—(AP)—Colonel Juan Domingo Peron
rode the crest of a new wave of power in stormy Argentina today
as another swift political upheaval collapsed the forces which kept
him in eclipse for nine doys.
The strong man of the military government forced the formation
of a cabinet of his supporters and friends, and hailed a general
strike called in his behalf as celebrating “a day of glory for the
workers.”
President Edelmiro Farrell
tossed aside a ‘“‘cabinet of nota
bles” submitted by Juan Alvarez
as attorney general, threw out
Alvarez himself, reinstated sev
eral members of his deposed cab
inet, ousted Admiral Hector Ver
nengo Lima, leader of the Octo
ber 9 movement against Peron,
as navy minister, and before a
vast crowd hailed Peron as “a
man who knows how to win your
hearts.” ,
In response to the general
strike call issued by Peron’s
friends in the General Confeder
ation of Labor, all trains out of
‘Buenos Aires stopped running at
one minute past midnight.
But not all unions supported
the strike. The Buenos Aires La
bor Council said the strike was
“imposed by Nazi elements in the
labor ministry who, pistol in
hand, are trying to paralyze the
country to aid Colonel Peron.”
Two persons died and six were
injured in a crowd which attack
ed cffices of the newspaper Crit
ica, outspoken critic of Peron and
Farrell, during the night. The
building was fired, but employes
extinguished the flames. The of
fice of the newspaper La Presna
also was attacked. ;
Peron, ousted by leaders of the
Campo De Mayo garrison October
9, ‘and for a ‘time held in cus
tody, told -hysterically cheering
crowds massed in'the Plaza De
Mayo he would take a brief vaca
tion in a southern province and
then return to . the capital to
“fight -shoulder to shoulder with
the workers until I am exhaust
ed.”
It was Peron’s possible candi-‘
dacy for the presidency in next
April’s election which kept Ar-,

BIG POLICY,
LITTLE AGTION
IN GERMANY
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 —

‘sistently has lalked tougher
‘than it has acted in the contrel
of defeateq Ge-many, a newly
published policy directive dis
lcioscf‘u today. <43
Tre divective was the first

| Overall Policy Made .
- Later at their Berlin meeting
in July, President Truman,
Prime Minister Aftlee and Gen
eralissimo Stalin laid down an
Allied policy for Germany which
for all practical purposes su
perseded the earlier directive
snet to Eisenhower as an ex
pression of American policy
alone. :
1t is true, howeve~, that on
any points not ccvered by the
Potsdam declaration, Eisenhow:-
er still may draw hig authority
from the criginal Truman order.
In most respects this original
order and the Potsdam declara
tion concide in spirit if not in
actual words. Both state for ex
ample the fact of their defeat
must be brough home {o the Ger
man people. 3
Both order in effect that Ger
‘many should not have a stand
ard of living higher thap, that of
surrounding countries in Europe,
development of farming as a
major German occupation should
be stressed and that the indus
trial disarmament of Germany
should reach far down into the
the Reich’s industiris] life.
~ Beyond these instructions,
American policy was stated to
cal] for removal of all active Na
zis or other persons hostile to
the ‘Allies—not only from publiz
offitce but also “from positions
of importance and quasi-public
private enterprises.”
