Biggest Issue
By NORMAN WALKER |
WASHINGTON, June 6—(AP)
—Peace talks to end the five day
old steel strike took on a hopeful
air today as three-man negotiating
teams for union and industry re=-
sumed intensive bargaining talks
at the White Heuse.
A dramatic Senate floor state
ment by Democratic Leader Mc-
Farland (Ariz.), last night that
the strike of 650,000 CIO Steel
workers might be settled over the
week-end persuaded the Senate to
put off until Monday all legisla
tion dealing with the dispute,
John R. Steelman, assistant to
President Truman who is riding
herd on the union-management
talks, acknowledged he had talked
with McFarland and said the two
sides had got down to ‘“real bar
gaining.”
“T certainly am ngt‘ pessm ,"
Steelman told newsmen, “but I
wouldn’t want to overstate my op
timism.”
Steelman said both sides had
been discussing intensively all the
complex issues involved. The
walkout started Monday after the
Supreme Court voided President
Truman’s seizure of the steel in
dustry. More than 10,000 mine,
rail and other workers also have
been idled by the steel shutdown.
The first break in the nation
wide strike came late yesterday
with announcement that the De
troit Steel Corp. had reached a
contract agreement with the steel
workers, covering 4,500 employes.
Details of the agreement, nego
tiated in Pittsburgh, were not an
nounced. A district union official
said the agreement embodied
Wage Stabilization Board recom
mendations.
These called for a “package”
wage increase amounting to 26
cents an hour by next January.
In the Washington talks, it was
reliably ‘reported the union shop
also recommended by the Wage
Board—was the ssubject of the
most bitter dispute. This would
require all steelworkers to join
Philip Murray’s CIO union after
being hired.
McFarland’s statement to the
Senate that an agreement may be
in the making won a 42-38 vote
to suspend until Monday action
on legislation to extend wage,
price and other controls.

UN Team Shifts
}\7 GEORGE A. McARTHUR ‘
UNSAN, Korea, June 6—(AP)
—Allied truce negotiators said to
day the U. N. command never will
follow the path of “betrayal,
force and bloodshed” by bowing to
Red demands for blanket repatri
ation of some 170,000 Allied-held
war,prisoners,
The prisoner issue is blocking
negotiations at Panmunjom for a
Korean armistice.
Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison,
chief U. N. delegate, said accept
ance of the Communist proposal
would “mean an abandonment of
the principle of human rights.”
“Neither now nor in the future
do we intend to be a party to such
a transaction,” he declared.
Devoid of Reason |
North Korean Gen. Nam 11 said |
Allied refusal to repatriate pris
oners who do not want to go home
is “devoid of any reason, any
precedent and any legal basis . . .”
He said the U. N, plan would not
be “tolerated by an opposing bel
ligerent who stands on an equal
footing with the opposing side.”
Nam’'s long tirade included
charges that Allied planes have
bombed and strafed prison eamps
in North Korea and that Red pris
oners on Koje Island have been
slaughtered.
“Who has cut off the rations of
war prisoners?” he asked. “Who
has been incessantly slaughtering
war prisoners like cattle with boy
onets, machineguns, flame throw
ers and tanks?”
Nam repeatedly charged Allied
violations of the Geneva Conven
tion, to which neither Red China
nor North Korea subscribe.
Sharp Retort
His remarks brought a sharp
retort from Harrison, who de
clared:
“You have cloaked your failure
to observe international law with
respect to prisoners of war by re
peatedly asserting that you have
observed the ‘best spirit’ of the
| covenant.
| “It is in your self-proclaimed
‘best spirit’ that y ou have report
ed to Geneva only 110 out of at
least 65,000 prisoners?
“Is it in your self-proclaimed
‘best spirit’ that you have report
porated thousands of captured
personnel into your armed forces?
“Is it in accordance with the
same ‘best spirit’ that you have
| callously denied aceess “to your
POW camps by an internaiional
benevolent society?
“And how can you possibly dis
tort the ‘best spirit’ of any cove
nant into your vicious refusal to
effect a mutual exchange of se
i riously sick and injured prisoners
i of war?
| “When you have answered these
| questions to our satisfaction we
! may place some credence in your
| ‘best spirit’ interpretation of the
| Geneva Convention.” .
’ Fruitless Session
l Before the fruitless 58-minute
| session began Communist staff of
ficers filed a formal complaint
that an Allied artillery barrage
landed near the truce talk site,
{ Panmunjom, Thursday and that
ithree civilians were wounded by
| shell fragments which hurtled in
i to the neutral zone.

Nation's Third
Atoric Test |
LAS VEGAS, Nev,, June 6.—
(AP)—The third, and safest, series
of atomic tests at Nevada proving
grounds completed, the nation’s
nuclear masters began thinking
today of possibly bigger things to
come at Eniwetok.
Later Tests Set
A series of tests has been slated
for the Pacific proving grounds
later this year—perhaps late sum
mer or early fall. Larger atomic
weapons generally are tested at
Eniwetok.
Speculation included the possi
bility that the first H-bomb may
be detonated there.
Yesterday’'s eighth and final
blast of the spring brought the
Nevada total to 20 since the AEC
started shouting off its ‘“‘devices”
;here in January, 1951, The unoffi
cial U. S. total is gpw 32.
Cautiously rg)laumed
It was the longest and most
cautiously planned series the AEC
has held. Starting April 1, it in
cluded four tower shots and four
drops from planes.
More than 7,000 Army and Ma
rine troops were involved in three
separate maneuvers during the
series. But Carroll L. Tyler, AEC
test manager, said that hone of
the tests resulted “in any hazard
to humans.”

Many of the refugees were

The Russians and their satellite
German “People’s Police” erected
new barricades and strengthened

lke Plunges Into Turbulent
Waters Of National Politics
Spud Ceiling Canceled;
Price Rise Is Expected
.
Drop Will Come
=
With New Crops
By FANK O’BRIEN
WASHINGTON June 6—(AP)
—Predictions that potatoes soon
will be back in groeery bins, and
at trimmed prices, followed the
government’s action yesterday in
cancelling potato priece controls.
But price officials and produce
men alike said that before the
price goeg down, it will probably
g 0 up.
A produce buyer from a large
Eastern store chain said:
“A lot of speculators are going
to get caught with high-priced
spuds, and when the dumping be
gins, these abnormal prices will
soon become history. Three more
weeks should see plenty of pota
toes in most stores.”
| Impossible To Buy
Potatoes have been almost im
possible to buy in retail stores in
many areas.
Some officials guessed there
would be a sharp price increase,
probably dropping off late this
month and in July, when the 1952
crop hits the market.
Ellis Arnall, head of the Office
of Price Stablization (OPS) said
OPS decided to remove the ceil
ing over potato prices because the
Senate had voted to do so, effec~
tive July 1. Although the Senate
vote would not become law unless
concurred in by the House and ap~-
proved by the President, Arnall
said it would be impossible to ad
minister potato ceilings while Con
gress thresh it out.
Senate Amendment
The Senate vote wag on an
amendment to a bill extending the
economic controls law beyond the
June 30 expiration date. The
amendment would discontinue
price controls over fresh fruits and
vetetables. Only white type pota
toes would be effected. .
OPS made the price ceiling on
potatoes effective Jan. 20, after a
rise dating from September that
‘almost doubled the price. It has
been criticised from the outset by
growers’ associations and congress
men from potato growing states.
Some growers said the price ceil
ing forced potatoes into the black
market, creating a shortage and
i leading to higher prices.

Ridgway Marks
Anniversary Of
Normandy D-Day
On the Normandy Beaches,
France, June 6—(AP)—Gen, Mat
thew B. Ridgway marked the
eighth anniversary today of the
Normandy D-day with a warning
to the “lords of Communism” that
another war “would bring dread
ful suffering to us, but it would
bring destruction to them and
their power.”
Honored Dead
Ridgway spoke at ceremenies on
Utah Beach commemorating the
thousands wiio died there in the
June 6, 1944, invasion that
launched the final conquest of
Nazi Germany.
The general himself parachuted
at the head of his 82nd Airborne
Division behind the German lines
at nearby Sainte Mere Eglise, sev
eral hours ahead of the invasion
waves,
“The last time I came as one of
thousands to wage war,” the new
supreme Allied commander in
Europe said. “This time I come to
wage peace.”
Ridgway referred to “the illim
itable reservoirs of our own
strength” and declared: :
“Let no one underestimate our
resolve to live as free men, in our
own territories, engaged in our
own peaceful pursuits.
“Above all let no one mistake
our patience, our tolerance, our
constant quest for peaceful solu
tions at the counci] table as evi
dence of fear.”
Honorary Citizen
Ridgway was made an honorary
citizen of Sainte Mere Eglise in a
short ceremony on the steps of
the old city hall. An enthusiastic
audience, including scores of
school children, shouted their wel
come and threw flowers as he
passed.
Russell Wants
-
Farm Bill Passed
WASHINGTON, June 6—(AP).
Sen Russell (D.-Ga.) today asked
quick Senate approval of a sl,-
300,000,000 farm bill “as a de
fense measure.”
The Senate was called into ses
sion two hours early, in a con
tinuing effort to finish its work
before the national party conven
tions start next month, and Rus
sell used the first hour to outline
contributions of agriculture tow
ard the nation’s defense.
" He said -advances in farming,
through power machinery, ferti
lizers and soil conservation meth
ods, have released manpower for
the fighting forces and defense
production. .
Even with serious floods and
drought last year, said Russell, a
candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination, produc
tion of the nation’s farmers was
28 per cent above the pre-war
level. b
This was accomplished with 14
per cent less farm labor, he said,
and in a period when actual farm
purchasing power was declining.
