Appointment Seen
Of RFC Executive
WASHINGTON (til Presi
dent Truman was expected to move i
fast possibly this weekend to!
put the Reconstruction Finance
corporation under new manage
ment. Administration forces with some
grudgingly granted help won final
senate approval yesterday for the
President's plan to abolish the big
government lending asency's
board of directors, and place a
single bass in charge. But three
bills to kill the agency reorgan-j
ized or not are still pending in 1
the Senate. Their authors said they!

enactment. !
Congressional sourecs close to

mav call on W. Stuart Symington, i
chairman ( the National Security
ilwources board, to take over the
tough RFC job.
hut they said Jess l.arson, oen
eral Services administrator, "and
maybe one other" also are being
considered.
The drastic shakeup is an out
growth of a senate banking sub
committee's charges that the RFC I
allowed a political influence ring j
an improper voice in its affairs.
The accusations were raked over i
thoroughly in the senate debate
which accompanied the adminis
tration's narrow-margin, and pos
sibly temporary, victory.
Free Insurance Granted
Servicemen By Measure
WASHINGTON W A bill
providing free $10,000 life insurance
for all members of the armed
forces is on its way to President
Truman for signature.
The Senate completed congres
sional action on the new military
insurance yesterday. The bill pr
vides that all members of the
armed forces who lost their lives
in Korea will benefit.
It replaces the present system
of government insurance for which
members of the armed forces pay
premiums. The bill allows former
servicemen who now carry govern
ment insurance to retain or rein
state it if recalled to active duty.
It also provides that servicemen
and women may buy government
term life insurance within 120 days
after leaving the armed forces.
Premium rates would be based on
age.
President Truman is expected to
approve the bill.

Confidence Vote
Sought By H.Ala
TEHRAN, Iran tm Premier
Hussein Ala sought a vote of con
fidence from Parliament today, as
new demonstrations were threat
ened in Iran's turbulent southern
oil fields. i
Deputies were called to a sec
ond session to deal with mounting
tension precipitated by Commu-nist-letl
rioting that left at. least
14 dead in the South and by re
ports of internal unrest in the
North, below the Soviet frontier.
Parliament was blocked from a
vote of confidence last night by an
angry walkout of National Front
deputies that left the house without
quorum. The National frontj
been pressing for government sei
zure of Iran's oil resources includ
ing the British-controlled Anglo-!
Iranian Oil company. :
Britain's anxiety in the situa
tion was pointed up by a visit of
Ambassador Sir Francis Shepherd
to Premier Ala to express his gov
ernment's concern and to ask what
security measures were being i
taken in the strike-troubled south-'
ern fields. Ala assured him strong
measures were underway. '

Advances In Food
Prices Greater
Than Decreases
Bv Th A,MM-lat4 Pr
Overall food prices at both the
retail and wholesale level held
steady this week.
Some stores trimmed prices of a
few pork items two to six cent.3 a
pound as consumer meat buying
continued slow generally. Demand
for eggs was boosted one to four
cents a dozen in many places.
Price advances appeared to out
number declines in retail prod-ice
departments. Higher than last
week-end in most sections were
snap beans, beets, broccoli, cab
bage, carrots, cauliflower, straw
berries, tomatoes, oranges and
grapefruit.
Asparagus moved a littU lowe
but was slill'in the specialty price
class in most markets. Also some
what lower were cucumbers, let
tuce, peas and spinach.
Food prices at the wholesale
level steadied after declining for
three weeks in a row. The Dun it
Bradstreet wholesale index, repre
senting the total wholesale coat of
a pound each of 31 general use
foods, was unchanged at $7.15 and
compared with S5.75 a year ago
and $5.96 just before the Korean
war began. The year's high for this
index was $7.31 on Feb. 20.
Although egg prices edged up a
little this week in many areas,
market analysts believe a down
trend can be expected. One reason
is that improved breeding of chick
ens, better feed and more scien
tific handling are increasing pro
duction per hen.
National production of dry edi
ble beans exceeded 15.000,000 bags
last year (a bag is 100 pounds).
That's somewhat below the 1949 to
tal, but plenty large enough to "in
sure lots of beans for the soup pot
and the side dish in the months un
til the 1931 harvest," the P.MA
said.

Titles, Wealth
Taken By India
From Potentate
NEW DELHI, India (P) Tha
Indian government cracked down
today on the fabulously wealthy
Maharajah of Baroda by depriving
him of all his royal titles and
more than half million dollars j
in snnual revenue. i
The Majarajah, regarded as one '
of the richest men in the world !
anil famous for his racehorses,
was served here with a govern- 1
mer.t order naming his 21-year-old ;
son, Fateh Singh, as his succes- i
sor to the titles and privileges. I
Ihe Maharajah is 44.
Prime Minister Nehru will make ;
statement to Parliament tomor-1
row giving the government's rea- '
son for the crackdown which will ;
deprive the Maharajah of his an- j
nual privy purse of 2,6.i0,000 rupees
($.V,500).
It won't mean that the Mahara
jah will be broke, since he's re-
yarded as one of the 10 richest j
men in the world. But it will take
a big chunk out of his annual
revei. ue.
Official sources said the Mah- 1
araiah's "recent activities" are 1
l-ehtnd the crackdown.
The former princely state of
Baroda, where the Maharajah was
supreme ruler, was merged witn i
Bombay state by the government '
of India in 1949. Since then the
Maharajah has organized a union
of princes to protect Ihe interests
ol himself and other prinjees whose
domains nave been merged.

U.S. Turns Down
British Proposal
WASHINGTON P The I
United States Friday turned down
a proposal by Britain to bring
Chinese Communists into the prep

treaty. j
At the same .time the State
department said that the U. S. 1
Iiosition on Formosa remains un-;
changed. This is to keep the island j
neutralized during the Korean '
lighting and leave its final status !
for future determination.
Britain proposed 10 days ago -that
Red China be brought into
the trealv negotiations. In a
memorandum the British proposed I
also that the treaty provide for i
the return of Formosa to China. :
This was interpreted by officials j
here as meaning the Peipinj j
Communist regime which Britain
recognizes and the U.S. does not. '

By OLEN CLEMENTS
TOKYO P Fierce Red re
sistance slowed the allied advance
on the western and central Korean
fronts to a crawl Saturday.
On the west coast, South brean
Marines supported by fjnited
Nations naval units were in con
trol of virtually all of the Ongjin
peninsula in North Korea.
The peninsula juts into the Yel
low sea south of Chinnampo, port
for the Korean Communist capital
of Pyongyang. A Soul Korean
navy announcement sairl the re
publican marines landed April 7
and seized the towns of Kumsan
and Hwasan.
Eighteen additional Chinese Red
divisions up to 180.000 men in
six army corps if at full strength
were reported pouring into the
western Communist defense sector
below Pyongyang.
This sizable buildup had been re
ported April 11 by an army spokes
man in Washington, but today's re
port generally located the new
strength. If tre esiimate is rignt,
it means the Reds have more than
600,000 trooos massing on the west
ern and central fronts.
A late front dispatch said allied
infantry and tank patrols crossing
the Pukhan river valley west of
Hwachon reservoir drew "wide

Bombing Of Border City
MOSCOW (.P) Pravda re
ported today that American planes
entered Communist Chinese "Air

The Communist party n e w s
paper, crediting its information to
a Chinese news agency, said the
raid was carried out by 31 Amer
ican B-29 bombers, accompanied
by more than 40 fighters.
The Red Chinese Peiping radio
also charged that allied planes had
bombed Anlung and said the Com
munists must "most certainly re
taliate." This unconfirmed report
presumably originated from Thurs
day's heavy allied air attack on
the supply bridge across the Yalu

Pravda said the B-2s dropped
more than 110 bombs on Antung.
