Truman Signs
Housing Bill
WASHINGTON, Aug, 10 —
(AP)—-President Truman signed
the Housing Bill into law today
with a blast at the Republican
controlled Congress for “deliber
ate neglect” of people most in
need of adequate living quarters.
Mr. Truman said the measure
fells, “far short of the legislation
which could and should have been
enacted.” He said in a statement
that he was signing the bill be
ceuse it would be “of some help”
in meeting the critical housing
shortage.
Fhe President accused the
House Republican leaders of
blocking consideration of another
bill which would have provided
“decent housing” for millions of
{amilies.

gotiating East-West differences on
Germany and perhaps all Europe.
An authoriative source in. the
Soviet capital acknowledged that
there might be at least one more
meeting with Molotov before the
conclusions of the talks are taken
to Prime Minister Stalin.
The next meeting probably will
take place after Washington, Lon
don and Paris have replied and
Molotov once more is available.

to prepare a draft constitution for

Government Readies Plan
To Make Credit Expensive
Move Designed To Discourage
Borrowing, Stymie Inflation
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.— (AP) —The government
aimed a new bhlow at living costs today by boosting the
price it will pay for some of its borrowed money.
Private finance is cxpected to follow suit and demand
a higher rate on its loans.
Thus the adminstration’s goal
in this process of making credit!
more expensive is to discourage
some of the borrowing that has ~
been cited as one factor in in
flation. |
Secretary of the Treasury Sny
der gave the cue last night. He
announced that the government
shortly will pay more interest on
its short-term securities. :
The first impact of Snyder’s
move will be felt September 15
and October 1. On those dates‘
some $10,500,000,000 in govern- |
ment issues will fall due, or|
about one twenty-fifth of the
‘national debt
These will be replaced with
issues paying a slightly higher}
rate. Treasury certificates which
have carried 1 1-2 per cent, for!
example, will give place to cer
tificates paying 1 1-4 per cent.
That means it will cost the

While limited in scope, the wew
controls nevertheless will hit
both the big fellow and little fel

driven out of fthe automobila
market temporarily, for instance,
by the Federal Reserve Board’s
plans to cinch up credit on near
ly every major item sold at re
tail on the installment plan.
This will cut into consumer
demand and, the government be
lieves, remove from the market
some of the credit-bolstered buy

Purchases of less than SSO and
more than $2,000 prebably wil”
be.control-free, although the up
per limit may be lifted because
$2,000 hardly buys a “low-price”
car in today’s market.
f Charge accounts and such costs
as medical and funeral expenses
will be exempt from controls.

Governor Refutes
Bloc Voting Charge
By The Associated Press
Governor M. E. Thompson swung into the final four
weeks of campaigning for the gubernatorial nomination
in the September 8 Democratic primary by disputing an
opponent’s assertion that he benefitted by bloc voting in
1944,
Thompson told a rally in At
lanta Monday night that candi
date Herman Halmadge and his
supporters had turned to the
charge of block votes after a
refutation of their charges thatl
Thompson favored Federal J
FEPC and anti-segregation laws
and supported the proposed civil
rights program. ‘
He said that in 1944 when he
was elected Lieutenant Governor
he carried Talmadge’s home
county of Telfair and that he
also carried both Forsyth and
Towns county where negroes
cast no ballots four years ago.
Furthermore, the Governor
added, he carried Fayette coun
ty, home of Charles Redwine,
staunch Talmadge supporter.
Thompson declared that Tal
madge’s stand on a sales tax for
Georgia changed after he left the
Governor's office. Talmadge’s
budget message to the Legisla
iure “when he thought he was
Governor” asserted, Thompson
said, that services would be cur
tailed without the . estimated
$32,000,000 a year a proposed
sales tax would produce. ;
“But the minute the Supreme
Court tossed him out, he changed
his tune,” said Thompson. “It is
obvious to all that the pretender
(Talmadge) and his crowd knew
he had to have that $32,000,000
a vear — but M. E. Thompson
didn’t need it.”’ ‘
Talmadge, also speaking Mon
day, said in a 13-minute radio
talk that Thompson had become
“road-minded” during the current
“political season” and had

MIAMI, Aug. 10—(AP)—
A miami inventor has discov
ered a process for using ice
as an ingredient for a build
ing material for south Flor
ida.
Not that south Floridians
will live in cool igloos be
neath waving palm trees. The
ice is used for another ef
fect.
The inventor, W. R, Twi
ford, mixes chipped ice with
concrete, thew pours the con
crete into blocks. The concrete
hardens, the ice melts, and
a very lightweight “cavity
block” results.
Twiford claims that the
cavities left behind by the
melted ice make these con
crete blocks a better insulator
against dampness, heat and
cold. They also save on mat
terials, and would be of par
ticular value for steel frame

Peak Harvest

. WASHINGTON, Aug 10—
(AP)—The government readied'
a progress report today on a
crop season that looks as though
it will put more foodstuff into
harvest bins than ever before in
history.
Majer - interest “im.the report
due today, ¢entered on corn-&
the ‘major raw ~material for
meats, dairy products and ‘poul
try. A month ago, the Agricul
ture Department predicted this
crop would be the largest of ree
ord. Today's corn estimate seem
ed likely to be higher than prev
iously forecast.
A record corn crop is expected
to help bring lower retail meat,
milk, butter, egg and poultry
prices next year. Prices on these
food items are at or close to rec
ord levels now because last year's
corn crop was a near failure. As
a result farmers were forced to
curtail production.
A big corn crop—with accom
panying lower grain prices—
would encourage farmers to ex
pand livestock output again, Un
der normal eonditions, this in
creased production should begin
to show up in lower retail prices

ing.
“Since this campaign started,”
Talmadge told his listeners,
“Thompson has let a little con
tract here, and a little contract
there, scattered over many coun
ties. And if you should spot these
little strips on a highway map
that map would look as speckled
as a dorhinecker chicken.”
Another Charge
Talmadge likewise declared
that the ‘Governor had begun
“riddling” the State Highway
Patrol a few hours after taking
office and that he had fired 60
men, including 25 veterans, with
out a hearing. These men, Tal
madge said, were repiaced bg
inexperienced personnel,
“When 1 take office as Gover=
nor,” Talmadge continued, “I am
going to re-instate these veter
ans if they want their jobs back.
And we are going to put the
State Patrol on a civil service
basis. . . . You cannot have a
decent and efficient State Pegrol
vnder the spoils system, as M, E.
Thompson has so clearly demon
strated during the past 15
months.” . .
Hoke O'Kelley appealed for
votes for his gubernatorial nom
ination with his advocacy of do
ing away with wasteful govern
ment ‘expenses and diverting such
monies to worthy projects.
He alsn advocated larger bud

Flays Spy Rap
FBI Keeps Soviet School Teacher
Under Wraps; Ignores Release Bid
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-—(AP)—Duncan C. Lee, 33-
year-old former OSS operative, denied in the face of new,
accusations today that he ever gave secret information to
Elizabeth T. Bentley, confessed former Russian agent.
In one-two order, the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee put Lee on its stand and then
recalled Miss Bentley to repeat
accusations she has made.
Lee, during the war, was with
the Office of Strategic Services,
a counter espionage agency. He is
now praticing law here. |
Lee swore he was not a Com='
munist and said he had nhever
disclosed secret information to
any unauthorized person, He said
it was hard to believe Miss Bent
ley's charges came from a “ra
tional person.” y
Miss Bentley then took the
stand and testified Lee told her
about “something super secret”
going on at Oak Ridge, Tenn.,
‘where the atom bomb was devel
vped, about OSS operations in
China and in the Balkans.
Lee didn’t know exactly what
was going on at Oak Ridge, Miss
Bentley said, but told her it must
be “something super secret be
cause it was so highly guarded.”
. She said he gave her the in
formation during a conversation
outside his home in Washington.
} - Lee, who was shet down while
on an OSS mission to China, had
flatly testified under oath that *I
have never divulged classified
information to any unauthorized
person.” |
First Witness
Lee was the day’s first wit
ness at the spy hearings of the
House Un-American Activities
Committee.
Miss Elizabeth T. Bentley, who
has said she was a go-between in
a spy network operating between
here and New York during the
war, had named him as one from
whom she got informaticn. She
also said he was a Communist.
Lee was employed by the Of
fice of Sifategic Services during
the war. He is a lawyer and is
now in private practice here.
He took the witness chair and
denied that he is, or has ever
been ‘a Communist, or ever gave
secret information to anyone.
. The committee called Lee
while deliberating whether and
when to call Michael Ivanovitch
Samarin, a Russian school
teacher.
Samarin has broken with So
viet representatives in this coun
try and gone to the FBI with a
story not%et disclosed. He is in
hiding, but the committee appar
ently knows where he is,
The Soviet embassy has for
mally demanded that Samarin be
handed over to Soviet consular
authoritites. Both the State De
partment and the congressional
committee rejected that demand.
