Vol. CXIX, No. 141,
For Controls
Bill Compromise
By G. MILTON KELLY
WASHINGTON, June 26— (AP)
genators angled for a compromise
today in the steaming fight over
government price-wage controls
and price rollbacks, but no solu
{ion was in sight,
And the CIO threatened to boy
coit tne stabilization program
again unless Congress approves a
program more to its liking than
ihe one now embodied in Senate
and House bills. *
Present authority for economic
controls expires at midnight Sat
urday.
The hottest issue in the Senate
were these clashing moves:
1. A proposal by Senator Doug-
Jas (D.-111.) to strike out of the
controls bill a drastic proposed
Jimitation on price rollbacks.
2. A motion by Senator Williams
(R.-Del.) to withdraw government
price support from all farm pro
ducts if a price ceiling is in effect
on any farm product. |
Compremice Invited |
Douglas franklv invited a com- |
promise on the rollback issue, but
{ore into Williams’ proposal with
cut any indication of willingness
to strike a deal on that one.
The House hasn’'t even started
debate on its version of the con
trols extension. It is due te do
so tomorrow. There was consider- |
ab'e doubt that it could finish up |
with the bill this week. since snmei
100 or more amendments were in
prospect. ‘
Senate leaders of both parties |
conceded it may be necessary for
Congress to adopt a resolution
simply extending the present con
trols Jaw a month or so, to provide |
more time for action on the ex-|
tension bill. But they expressed |
distaste for such an expedient. i
The CTO threat to walk out of |
the stabilization effort was voiced |
late yesterday bv Emil Rieve,
chairman of the big I~bor nr"""‘-{
2ation’s committee on economic |
poliev and a member of the Wagc}
Q‘»hilization Board. ;
The program now before Con- !
gress, Rieve told newsmen, insures |
“nothing except the profits of bus- |
inece and industrv.” |
The CIO, with the AFL and mcsti
railroad brotherhnods, hore-‘ted
the stabilization program for two |
months earlier this vear in a dis
puls over wage eontrols and gen
eral economic policies.
Curbs Extension
The controls extension under
debate in the Senate would extend |
for eight months. instead of thef
two years President Truman re-|
quested, authority for governmontl
controls on prices, wages, rents.}
moterfals and installment pur-|
chose eredit. |
Acs revised by the Senate Bank-(
fne Committee, it would forbid
anv order requiring a rollback of*
prices on any commodity to a]
point lower than the average vprice |
level of last Jan. 25 to Feb. 24.
Fxisting law permits rollbacks]
to the lower “pre-Korea” levels of |
Mav-June a year ago, and was the,
hasis on which the Office of Price |
Stabilization (OPS) has based its
disnuted beef price rollback. This
order already has shoved beef
prices back ten per cent, and calls
for two additional price drops of
4% per cent each on Aug. 1 and
Oct. 1 to provide a total 19 per‘
cent rollback.
The bill as now proposed would |
cancel the last 9 per cent of the|
ro'lback, and permit only an ad-l
ditional two per cent dron. Price
tabilizer Michael V. DiSalle has |
declared it also would upset al
rendy-ordered rollbacks of the
prices of shows, clothing and a |
variety of other items scheduled to 1
tulre effect July 2 or later.
President Truman has sent \
word to Congress he still wants |
tougher controls, and that any- 1
thing less would be an “invitation |
to disaster” through inflation. |

Acheson urging Congress to vote a new $8,500,000,000

croachment” has ‘“‘got to be stopped.”
Acheson said enlightened self-interest “requires us to
make sure that we have strong and reliable friends and
allies.” The huge foreign economic and arms aid program,
he said. is essential to the security of the United States.

POSSIBLE POWER SHORTAGES
WASHINGTON, June 26—(AP)
Electric power industry leaders
planned a call today on Defense
Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson to tell
him that unless they get more
aluminum, copper and steel there
will be power shortages.
The Electric Utilities Defense
Advisory - Council held an emer
gency session here yesterday at
which electricity producers decid
ed their.quotas of the three metals
are not enough.
SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER A CENTURY.
As Acheson spoke, before the
House foreign affairs committee,
speculation mounted in Congress
over the possibility that a cease
fire in Korea might be in the mak
ing. Cease-fire talk followed sug
gestions made in a radio address
Saturday by Jacob A. Malik, chief
Soviet delegate to the United Na
tions. B
But Acheson’s prepared state
ment made no direct reference to
Malik’s proposal that fighting
cease and hostile forces withdraw
from the 38th parallel.
Red Policies Assasiled
The secretary assailed Moscow
polities as a threat to the free
world. He said Moscow wants to
see the United States try to “go
it alone.” The big aid bill, he said,
by strengthening America’s allies
both economically and militarily,
and by tightening the bonds of al
liances, would yield bigger and
swifter returns, in American se
curity, than if the money were
spent at home.
The Politburo — Russia’s execu
tive council — like the Russian
Czars, “still prefers to bet on a
sure thing,” Acheson said. He add
ed that the “discovery that Korea
was not a sure thing was undoubt- |
edly a great shock to the Politbu- ‘
ro, which called for some sudden
changes in their plannings.” *
“The reaction to the attack on
Korea has made it clear that the
free nation will not acquiesce in a
strategy of piecemeal conquests,”
Acheson said. “It has reduced the
likelihood of further creeping ag
gressions.”
He declared that “it is clear that
this process of encroachment and
consolidation by which Russia has
grown in the last 500 years from
the Duchy of Musovy to a vast
empire has got to be stopped.” He
added:
“This means that we have to
hold, if possible agains its moves
wherever they may be made. This
also means that we have to devel
op collective strength and the
political relationships which sup
port collective strength so as to
deter Soviet drives against the na
tion which, if they were standing
alone, might fall easy prey.”
¥und Faces Attack
The arms aid fund faces attack
from administration foes. It in
cludes $6,300,000,000 for military
aid and $2,200,000,000 for econo
mic aid. For the first time it pulls
together eceonomic, technical and
military assistance into one bill.
Aceson said the points interlock
closely.
President Truman, in a speech
at Tullahoma, Tenn., yesterday
voiced the readiness of the United
States to accept “a real settlement”
which “restores peace and securi
ty” to Korea.
The President and Acheson have
both made clear their belief that
the foreign aid program is essen
tial for the mutual security of the
United States and its allies against
Communist aggression.
As proposed by the administra
tion, the new program provides:
1. Military aid of $6,0300,000,000
most of which would go to arm
wesern Europe and the North At
lantic treaty nations.
9. Economic assistance, includ
ing Marshall plan funds and point
four technical aid, totaling $2,-
200,000,000. The point four pro
gram, SO named because it was
the fourth item in President Tru
man’s 1948 inaugural address, pro
vides, technical aid to underdevel
oped parts of the world.
With one eye on oKrea and the
other on mounting government
expeditures, Congress showed no
immediate readiness to go alone
with Mr. Truman on the need for
such spending.
~ Congressional leaders on both
sides of the Capitol have already
‘spokes up against, the amount, Mr,
Truman wants.
ATHENS, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1951.
Pravda Editorial
Urges Peaceful
Korea Settlement
MOSCOW, June 26—(AP)—
Pravda printed an editorial today
urging peaceful settlement of the
Korean conflict.
The official Communist party
newspaper, in the first Soviet
press comment on the matter, gave
its full approval to the proposal of
Jacob A. Malik, Soviet United Na
tions delegate, who proposed in a
New York radio address Saturday
that the belligerents in Korea dis
cuss a cease-fire,
Pravda said:
“The cessation of war activity
and the peaceful settlement of the
conflict in Korea will remove one
of the most important causes of
tension in the present internation
al situation.
“At the same time it will give
the opportunity to the Korean peo
ple to return to a peaceful life and
arrange their own affairs.”
Pravda Message
Pravda said Malik’s proposals
showed how the Soviet people felt
about Korea. '
“The Soviet people are con
vinced that there exists all possi
bilities for a peaceful settlement
of the Korean question,” it said.
The editorial, written by poli
tical commentator M. Kharlamov,
was entitled “For Peaceful Solu
tion of The Korean Conflict.” It
was published on Pravda’s fourth
page—its foreign affairs page, in
the upper left corner, under a
large headline. Thus, the editorial
was set apart from the other for
eign affairs news on the page.
Both Pravda and the Soviet gov
ernment newspaper Izvestia told
the Soviet public President Tru
man supported the Malik proposal
for ending the Korean fighting.
Under the heading, ‘“The address
of President Truman,” the leading
Soviet papers said:
~ “Today President Truman spoke
in Tullahoma, Tenn., in a speech
devoted to the policy of the Unit
ed States government.
“In his speech President Tru
man devoted a prominent place to
the military conflict in Korea.
| Truman Speech
“president Truman said nothing
special or new on the question of
war in Korea, However, he had to
associate himself with the proposal
of the Soviet representative in the
United Nations, Malik, on the
peaceful settlement of the Korean
question and the cessation of war
activity.”
(The President gave assurarices
in his Tullahoma speech that the
U. S. is interested in a “real set
tlement” to end aggression and
bring security to Koreans. He did
rot directly mention Malik’s bid,
but said the U. S. is “ready to join
in a peace settlement in Korea
pow as we always have been.”)
Pravda’s editorial said that “in
particular Malik indicated this
possibility (for peaceful settle
ment) speaking on June 23 in a
radio program on the theme, ‘The
Price of Peace,’ organized by the
information department of the
United Nations.” The Communist
newspaper them quoted the last
paragraphs of Malik’s speech
which referred to the possibility
of peaceful settlement of the Ko
rean War.
M’ARTHUR HEARINGS
Senate Inquiry Ends,
But Debate Continues
BY MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON, June 26.—(AP)—The stormy Senate
inquiry into the ouster of General Douglas MacArthur ap
pears ended, but debate continued almost as hot as ever
tod:;ly over who was right — President Truman or Mac-
Arthur.
~ Here is an example of the sharp division in the Senate
Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees which
conducted the 42-day investigation:
[ Senator McMahon (D.-Conn.);
| “The MacArthur-ites have lost
their case.”
Senator Brewster (R.-Me.):
“The record of the hearings pret

The indications are some of the
other 24 members of the inquiry
panel will line up with McMahon,
| some with Brewster, while others
probably will take positions some
l where in between.
The lengthy investigation — it

what most members regard as a

In Crime Probe
BY JOHN CHADWICK
WASHINGTON, June 26— (AP)
—Senate crime investigators hop
ed to impress on the public today
the menace of the narcotics traffic
by televised, first-hand testimony
from dope addicts.
The witnesses were not identi
fied in advance of the public hear
ing, but committee sources said
they would include a number of
persons who have fallen vietim to
the drug habit.
Among them will be some
young persons, whose testimony is
expected to point up the commit
tee’s expressed concern over in=
creasing addictlon among ’'teen
agers.
Young Addicts
The committee said the addicts,
now either prisoners or patients
in various mstitutions, were ap
pearing voluntarily and, if they
so request, their faces will not be
televised. Their names also may
be withheld.
In Baltimore, Judge Joseph
Sherbow signed an order late yes
terday permitting four persons,
three of them women, to be taken
from Maryland penal institutions
so they could testify.
Without explaining, he ordered
that “these prisoners not be tele
vised.” His order, of course, ap
plies only to those four.
Besides the drug addicts, the
committee pranned to-hear offi~
cials of hospitals and other insti
tutions where addicts are treated,
as well as criminologists and med
ical men.
Intensive Probe 7
The crime committee -has turned
to an intensive investigation of the
multi-million deollar narcotics traf
fic since its life was extended by
the Senate to Sept. 1, but the
probe still in its early stages.
Chairman O’Conor (D-Md) said
the hearings starting today were
aimed at finding out “the extent
of the traffic, the methods of ille
gal distribution of drugs and the
effects of narcotics addiction, both
up on its victims and on society.”
A committee spokesman said
the hearings were being televised
in an effort “to drive home sharp
ly to the people that the drug traf
fic is a terrific menace, that it is
something they better get excited
about.”

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., June
26—( AP) — General Assembly
President Nasrollah Entezam took
person al charge today of growing
United Nations efforts to deter
mine Moscow’s terms for ending
the war in Korea.
Entezam arrived late yesterday
from Washington with the an
mounced plan of seeing Chief So
viet delegate Jacob A. Malik as
&uickly as possible, Malik starle}
e world Saturday with a sugges
tion that the billigerents discuss a
cease-fire and an armistice in
which the opposing forces would
withdraw from the 38th parallel.
U. N. delegates, puzzled by the
lack of further conditions and
frankly suspecting a Communist
trick somewhere along the way,
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
June 26 — (AP) — The United
States showed increasing skep
ticism toward the Russian cease
fire proposal today as Secretary
General Trygve Lie hurried
home from Europe to coordinate
plans for U. N. consideration of
the Malik proposals.
State Department offiicals
questioned whether the Soviet
Union’s Jacob Malik had net
come up merely with a political
proposal designed to improve
the military position of the
North Korean and Chinese
forces. This view became known
in a memorandum distributed at
supreme headquarters in Tokyo.
The memorandum expressed
doubt whether Malik had made
his approach in good faith.
immediately began trying for a
fuller explanation of Moscow’s
stand. s ;
While some western diplomats
stationed in Moscow adopted a
wait and see attitude, others ex
pressed optimism that the time
might be near for over-all big
power talks which might ease in
ternational tension. These observ
ers pointed out that the Malik re
marks were obviously well calcu
lated in advance with full Krem
lin consultation, and apparently
were aimed at bringing about
some kind of negotiations to end
the Korean war. The general ¢cone
sensus amoni the diplomats in the
Soviet capital was one of guarded
optimism.
2 Connally Views =
In Washington Chairman Con
nally (D-Tex) of the Senate for
eign relations committee said the
Malik proposal should be given
careful consideration, and not be
rejected simply as a piece of pro
paganda. He added:
“If there is any hope of secur
ing peace by negotiation, let us
have it.’?
There have been hints in Wash
ington that the U. 8. may feel out
Moscow through Ambassador Alan
G Kitk, 4 2 A 3
Some Washington observers still
express the feeling that strings
will be attached to the Korean
peace bid, such as a part for Red
China in Japanese treaty negotia
tions. There were demands fro
Washington lawmakers that the 3‘
S. be wary of any appeasement.
U. N. Assembly President En
tezman hoped to see Malik before
the assembly met today at Flush
ing Meadows, informed sources
said. Malik was reogorted last night
slightly indisposed. He has been
suffering heart trouble for months.
He has asked for reservations to
sail July 6 on the Swedish liner
Gropsholm enroute to a vacation
and rest in Russia.
Entezam Hopeful
Entezman Indicated he was fair
ly hopeful that something could
be worked out, but he was not too
g})timlstic. He is chairman of the
. N. Good Offices committ&e of
three persons. The Chinese Com
munists have refused to have any
cantact with this committee, which
was organized to try for a solution
of the problem.
The Korean ambassador to the
United States, meanwhile, made it
plain his government would reject
any cease-fire that does not pre
cide for the complete reunifica
tion of the Korean peninsula.
The ambassador, Dr. You Can
Yang, told a news conference also
that he doubled the sincerity of
Malik in making the {Jroponl.
The assembly meeting is for the
purpose of hearing President Galo
Plaza Lasso or Ecuador. Delegates
said they did not expect ané real
activity relating to the Korean
situation at this purely ceremonial
meeting.

Ridgway Visifs
Fronf, ROK 4
President Rhee
BY OLEN CLEMENTY '
TDKYO, June 26.— (AP)
—General Matthew B. Ridg
way said today he didn’t
know what was happening
to cease-fire proposals “but
things look better than
ever.”
The Allied commander
made the statement on a fly
ing visit to South Kerean
President Syngman Rhee.
The war flared anew, fanned by
new Chinese fighting spirit on the
ground and aggressiveness in the
air. Red planes twice struck at U.
S. B-29 Superfort bombers and
engaged in two battles with Am-~
erican Sabre jets. One Red MIG
-15 was shot down.,
Communists fought so stubbern
ly on the western flank of the
erratic 100-mile front one officer
said “indications are the Chinese
are preparing for an offensive.”
Ridgway bore a bulging brief
case when he called on the Korean
president. Of the Russian peace
bid, endorsed by the Chinese
radio, Ridgway said:
“I would want an iron eclad
agreement. I am not willing to
take a bill of goods.”
Visited Front
He also visited the front. He
said it was just one of his usual
trips, “had no connection with
anything regarding a cease-fire.”
Before he returned, a memoran=-
dum came out of his Tokyo head
quarters raising official doubts
about the latest Communist cease
fire proposal, It questioned the
suggestion as a Russian ‘“politieal
move* that might give the enemy
a military advantage,
There was no cessation of firing
lon the fronts mzlnif from the
38th parallel to 20 jniles north es
it. But there was no noteworthy
change in battle lines.
Attacking Chinese captured a
key hill position in an early mern
ing fight near Kymhwa, but were
driven off by noon in a U, N, ecun
terattack.
Reds launched a series of o
ing attacks and raked Alliodfiu

Some Allied patrols were
back’ by bitter resistance and ot

ing Reds. The front was & n}lwro
of blazing fights and quiet.
U. N. patrols bumped into Com~
munist . barbed wire entangis~
ments on the east-central ‘m
“The Reds definitely are b
a heavy defense, probabL parsllel
to our lines,” an officer said.
Bayonet Fighting
Bayonet fighting ranged the
rolling hills. Fire bembing
swooped in close to the lineg and
blasted Chinese attackers.
For the 131st consecutive day
U. N. warships bombarded Won
san, east coast port and transpert
center,
Reds mustered a force streng
enough for a major attacl? nerth
of Inje on the east-central frent.
