To Spend Speed Up Atomic Bomb Work ....WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. (API The United States Is going' to speed up its atomic bomb program. An accelerated expansion of facilities and operations at two: key plants, Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Hanford, Wash., will cost in j excess of $300,000,000, it has been learned from authoritative sources. Two moves in the senate late yesterday paved the way for! the program.

Established 1873 Crop Prices' Support Near Present Levels Agreed On Brannan Plan Discarded By Compromise Two Differing Parity Formulas Allowed To Operate On Basic Crops WASHINGTON. Oct. 19. (.P) Congressional leaders called for swift action today on a newly put together farm bill giving the government broad power to sup port crop prices near present high le :els indefinitely. With the House due to vote first, passage of the bitterly-won compromise measure seemed cer tain before the windup of this session of congress, xepected to- nigni. The bill would permit reduc tions in price supports for all but a few major commodities next year. However, it gives the agri culture department a choice be tween such action and mainte nance of present support stand ards. In some cases, the actual supports would be higher than they are now. The new program, a compro mise between widely-differing House and Senate bills, was pro duced by a conference committee yesterday after many hours of haggling. Most senators and house mem bers expressed satisfaction at the result.

Dr. Chester C. Moore said In the trial's opening day yesterday that he had resigned from the Multnomah County Medical so ciety In 1936 because the society council hinted it might oust him. The ouster talk, he said, result ed from his refusal to turn over his pre-paid medical care pro gram to one backed by the so ciety. The government charges the Oregon State Medical society, the Oregon Physicians' Service, eight county societies and eight indi vidual physicians with hindering development of private prepaid medical programs. Dr. Moore said. "I have suf fered great humilitation. My or ganization has been embaras-sed and harassed." Federal Prosecutor Philip Mar cus in his opening statement said that "in 1936 these defendants embarked upon a ruthless' cam paign to terrorize dortors who connected themselves with pre paid plans" not approved bv them. The opening defense state-1 ment said tnat on tne contrary, competition was welcomed.

Wage Level Increase Bill Given Truman By JACK BELL WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. 7P More than nine months after he asked for it, a bill boosting the minimum wage level from 40 to 75 cents an hour went to Presi dent Truman's desk today. The senate stamped final con gressional approval yesterday on tne measure, representing one oi the main achievements of the president's domestic program. The bill could mean an In crease in pay for about 1,500, 000 lower paid workers. However, because of a change in language, an indefinite number of those now under the law mav be re moved from its coverage. With Coneress set for adiourn-4f ment tonight the Presidents friends and foes were busy adding up the accomplishments or la-k of them of one of the longest peacetime sessions. Besides the minimum wage measure, administration demo crats counted as major results bills extending rent control, pro viding low-rent housing, author izing rural telephone loans, boost ing military, civil service and of ficial's pay, giving the president reorganization powers and in creasing commodity credit coro.

On These Bills I On the domestic front, there was one-chamber approval for lid to education, social security expansion, oleomargarine tax re- peal and displaced persons bills. Action on these will be sought in next vear's session. On the debit side, Mr. Tru man's friends had to chalk up their failure to repeal the Tafi Hartley act, the action of both houses In ignoring the presi dent's call for universal military training, inaction on civil rights and rejection of the proposal to create a single welfare depart ment. The president's proposal for compulsory health insurance went untouched. His proposal for industrial aid to underdeveloped countries also never got vote in either house. to a Glendale Lumber Co.

L Leader Denial Of Funds To Aid Steel Strikers Evokes Miners' Chiefs Wrath Bv NORMAN WALKER WASHINGTON. Oct. 19 ( AP) John L Lewis bitterly denounc ed AFL President William Green today for turning down a pro posal to help finance a $2,500,000 weekly strike fund for Philip Murray's CIO steel workers. The Mine Workers chief's caus tic note to Green said: "You cry loud for labor peace and labor security, but seldom do anything to achieve It." Lewis had proposed that his own mine workers themselves on strike put up $250,000 weekly to help Murray's steel strikers, and that nine AFL unions put up equal amounts. Green replied that pooling la bor's resources was "impossible and Impracticable" so long as Lewis and Murray fail to bring their unions into the AFL. Murray approved Lewis' Idea but said the proposed $2,500,000 a week fund should help striking mine workers as well as striking steel workers. Ltwis Is Sarcastic Today Lewis fired this reply at Green following the AFL leader's rejection of the play: "You have Justified mv Judg ment. I did not think you would do anything. You didn't. You rarely do. Unfortunately, you fol low invariably your well known policy ot anxious inertia, you cry loud for labor peace and labor security, but seldom do anything to achieve it.

Oct. 19 ttV Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg said today that if the United Statea cuts down on strategic bombing itrength, then Russia will be Ire to concentrate on developing of fensive power. Vandenberg. the Air Fore chief of staff, was before the House Armed Services commit tee defending the Air Force pol icy of building up a B 36 bomber fleet against navy criticism. The Navy, in hearings lat week, had argued that the Air Force should spend lesa time ind money on strategic bombers and more on tactical air power to support ground operations. Such a policy shift as this. Van denberg said, would mean: 1. "We would give up the de terrent value of this nation'i atomic weapons land we would place ourselves in disagreement with all of those people who. on both sides of the ocean, believe that soviet agression Is In fact now being deterred. 2. "We would inform the Rus sians that they need now take no defensive measures against a possible atomic attack on their heartland. B-36s. B-7a and B50 by merely existing can and do force the soviet union to channel its industrial power, technologi cal skill, manpower and money into purely defensive measures and thus cut down resources which would otherwise be devot ed to offensive purposes." 3. "If war is forced on us, this proposal deprives us of the op portunity of choking off enemy warmaking power at its source." He was accompanied to tne hearing by Air Secretary Sym ington, who testified yesterday, and by top Air Force generals. Vandenberg first took up the attacks by navy officers on na tional defense policies which set high importance on strategic bombing. He read to the commit tee excerpts from a joint chiefs of staff document saying the chiefs, separately and jointly. agreed that the policies are sound. Admiral Louis Denfleld, chief ot naval operations and a mem- oer oi tne joint cruets, last weett told the committee he supported Cized tho strategic- bombing -con cept. Not Lone Wolf Optratlon V The strategic air command, Vandenberg said, orjeratea direct ly under the joint chiefs of staff, rarner man tne Air orce. This nation's strategic plans are not made "on a lone-wolf zasis," Vandenberg said, but In "Increas ingly close cooperation" with the free natlona of western Europe. He added: "Witnesses here have recom mended that we cancel out this country's capability of conducting a strategic offensive with atomie weapons." "Adoption of this proposal would, in my judgment, destroy the one greatest equalizing fac tor In the balance of military power between a potential enemy and the western democracies and could only be received with con tempt or despair by those who have joined for common defense." Navy Chargt Refuted Vandenberg denied, as Secre tary Symington did yesterday, that the air force is "putting all Its eggs In one basket" the B-36s. The navy so charged last week. Actually, Vandenberg said the strategic air command operates only 29 per cent of the planes of the entire air force, and only five per cent are B-36s. The B-36 units contain only four oer cent of tha total manpower of the air force. Vandenberg dlsmussed as "noth ing but a series of assertions" Navy claims that the B-36 could not do the strategic bombing Job the air force says It can.
