Oleo Fightftlay
Stall Farm Bill
WASHINGTON. June 15 - (A)
A new fight over oleomargarine
tax repeal threatened tonight to
scuttle long-range farm legislation
in the senate.
The senate bill, which would
set up a permanent System of
farm price supports, was shoved
aside temporarily in favor of an
appropriation measure.
And then the complicated, end-of-a-session
parliamentary maneu
vering began.
S e n.a t o r Fulbright (D-Ark)
backing the oleo tax repealer,
said he would offer it as an amend
ment to the farm bill.
Senator Langer (R-ND) an
nounced that if Fulbright did so,
he would offer an anti-lynch
measure as an amendment to the
oleo bill. Langer is against re
pealing oleo taxes.

Senate Votes
Shift in Control
Of O&CLand
WASHINGTON, June 15 - (JP)
The senate passed today bill
to give the interior department
jurisdiction over unpatented lands
of the revested Oregon and Cali
fornia railroad grant lands in
Oregon. The land Includes all
unpatented lands in odd num
bered sections. The bill now goes
to the house.
The lands which will be trans
ferred to the interior department
have been in controversy for years
between the department and the
forest service.
When the lands were revested
in 1916, part of the railroad grant
had not been patented and it is
this portion that now is trans
ferred to interior.
The senate public lands com
mittee reported it is of the opin
ion the lands should be admin
istered by interior and "that the
returns should be administered
exactly as they would have been
had the lands been patented prior
to their revestment."
"The committee believes," it
said,"that this solution is in the
public interest and In accord with
the long established policy of
the congress with respect to these
lands and the local taxing dis
tricts in which they lie."

Tariff Bill Sent
To President
WASHINGTON, June li.-(JPh
Congress sent President Truman
today a trade agreements bill
which he doesn't like and may
veto.
The house passed the measure
by voice vote, accepting amend
ments added by the senate. The
senate approved the bill yesterday,
68 to 10, over democratic protests
that it would wreck the foreign
trade progTam.
The bill revives for one year the
trade agreements act which lapsed
last Saturday night. It requires
the president to wait up to four
months, while the federal tariff
commission investigates, before
making tariff agreements with
foreign countries.
Mr. Truman and Secretary of
State Marshall, backed by nearly
every senate democrat, urged that
the act be extended for three years
without any curbs on the presi
dent's tariff-making authority.

Operators End
Negotiations
With Levis
By th Associated Press
The nation's soft coal operators
broke off negotiations with John
I Lewis Tuesday.
They said they were "getting
nowhere" in efforts to prepare a
new contract for 400,000 United
Mine Workers whose present
agreement expires June 30.
Lewis summoned the union's
200-man policy committee to meet
June 24 for "instructions."
The operators claimed Lewis
would not talk contract details un
til miners' benefits were forth
coming from the 1947 UMW wel
fare fund, currently tied up by a
legal dispute.
The impasse made larger and
blackor the threat of a possible
strike. Without a new contract, it
was improbable that the nation's
bituminous miners would man the
pits voluntarily after July 6. fol
lowing the five-day shut-down
during the Fourth of July holiday
week end.
The government, however, im
mediately stepped into the dis
pute. Cyrus S. Ching. head of the
mediation and conciliation serv
ice, called a meeting of both sides
Thursday morning.
