Their deci sion stresses for the first time the defensive nature of the occupation fortes rather, than their supervisory police powers. (Another result of the thre-day conference between America's Secretary of Stajte Acheson, Britain's j Ernest l Bevin and France's Robert Schi'uman was uinanimity on holding up ; negotiations ;for a German peace treaty. The ministers said; in a com. munique: , "In view of the continued refusal of the1 Soviet govejrnment to permit in habitants of thepr occupation zone to ; rejioin their fellow countrymen in a democratic and j unified Germany, it has not beeo possible, and will not be as long as this Soviet policy persists, to pf oceed td conclusion of a treaty of ' ' peace with Gerrtiany." - - - J , , To Relax Controls : The Big "Three made it clear,, how ever, that-, western Germany will be fully integrated in to western Europe - and gradually freed of controls as far as i possible.

That same day his government offi cially announced abandonment of the Chushan Islands.. The announcement, coming on the heels of vows by Na tionalist commanders to defend "the islands to the death, said 150,000 troops had been evacuated. The Chushans were a vital defen sive bastion for the Nationalists. From, that base, 100 miles southeast of Shanghai, an effective air and naval blockade of the big Communist port had been maintained. f . I " ' ! Empty Pockets . In the: international field, the Na tionalists dwindling coffers may bring about what the Russians have failed to accomplish by their boycott with drawal of Nationalist delegates from the United Nations. "The Chinese Nationalists withdrew May 5 from the World Health Organii nation ( WHO), one of the most impor tant of the U.N.'s specialized agencies. . The Nationalists gave no official rea son but it is believed Chiang had to; cut expenses and could see no chance! to raise the $1,000,000 his government owes WHO for 1948, 1949 and 1950. : ."

BABY . , , ITfo W(1L CONGRESS: Pro & Con on Omnibus Bills THE House, coming up for air after a solid month's grind at tfte "one big package" appropria tions bill to cover government op erational expenses, long a dream, . of Congressional reorganizes, doesn't think much of the idea. The .omnibus bill lumps together all departmental appropriations .which previously had been handled sepa rately. In theory, it should give Con gress a,.better picture of government finances. The Senate hasn't , had any first hand experience with the bill yet but soon will have its chance if it can get by the filibuster on the FEPC isue. House leaders suspect the Senate ill cool off on the idea quickly. Here is why. . ' : ". : -: I , Too Big,' Says House j This year's bill totaled $29,000,0001, 000, ran to more than 400 printi'd pages and it took the House more than four tedious weeks to dispose of it .- ' - ' "'. ' 1 The main objections voiced by House legislators are that the bill " is unwieldy, that reductions . can't te planned wisely, that it- takes too long to consider, and that members lose interest after a few 'days;'- 1 j "It's a lemon," said Rep. John Tabjer of New York, top Republican on the Appropriations Committee. "I doubt if we'll try it again."! said Democratic leader John McCor mack of Massachusetts.' Quorum Difficulties ) That the House lost interest in the bill long before actual voting started was obvious. At times it was difficult TV: The Dispute and development have been prod- in a under forced draft. . I - Both principal coior competitors. the Columbia- Broadcasting System and the Radio Corporation of America, of which the National Broadcasting Co. is a subsidiary, have come put with major developments since FCC hearings opened in Washington last September. I Some industry sources how predict color television will be on the market within a year or less after the FCC sets technical standards. The 'Compatible' Factor Cdlor telecasts under the RCA sys tem are compatible that is, they can be seen in black and white on present sets with no alterations whatever.

Taber is convinced the Republicans could have made deeper cuts in the President's budget if the old system of separate bills had been in effect. They ' finally did get across an amendment with a blanket cut of $600,000,000. Democrats feel that the one big cut wa unwisel because it treated essen- tial and less-essential federal services A.'- i - the same. oh Color cannot be seen, on present sets, even in black and white, unless the sets ire adapted internally. . CBS 'argues the average set owner is more interested in-being able to convert his set to receive color pic tures than: in being able to get black and white pictures from color tele casts. s , It is on this feature of the CBS sys tem that David Sarnoffj board chair man" of RCA, concentrated bis fire during 16 hours of testimony before the FCC. He gave the most detailed exposition yet of the RCA case. Sarnoff estimates it would cost the public $100,600,000 more a year for sets merely to build them' with auto matic adapters so they could receive black and White versions of CBS color telecasts while continuing to get reg ular black land white transmissions. ' 405 and 525 Lines ." CBS color produces pictures made up of 405 horizontal lines -compared with 525 jiines for black! and. white television--and the RCA color system. - CBS - contends color compensates for this difference; it also nas developed an addition to its system to give defi nition equal to that of a 525-line pic- , ture in more complex sets. -L Sarnoff argues that adoption of a 405-line system would be ! to' "turn back the i television clock" in this country at a time when the U.S. is urging adoption of its 525-line stand ard on a worldwide basis. Sarnoff saysi RCA expects to demon strate' within' six weeks converters using the hew tri-color tube that would enable1 present type sets to re ceive RCA color. Dates .

Another objection to the omnibus bill is that when finally it does come out of the Senate, it must go to a Senate-House conference committee. That small group ultimately, will have a dominant hand in the final allot ments. Many lawmakers don't like the idea of a handful of men having so much influence over the federal pock 11 1 etbook. Science Youngest Human The youngest human ever observed, two days after Conception, consisted of only two cells. This embryonic bit of human tissue was not yet, implant ed in its mother.ilt was moving slowly and freely in a iube leading from the ovum to the womb. These developments, part of an 11 year study of what happens from con ception to birth, were reported to the International and Fourth : American Congress on Obstetrics and Gynecolo gy in New York. Doctors found that implantation in the waU of the mother's womb does not take place until the sixth day of life. Before that,! the tissue has been moving freely and multiplying. By the -sixth day it has become a bundle of 60 or more tissue cells . , Then the bit of ; tissue1 implants it- self directly over a pair of blood ves sels which are to b the baby's future blood supply. , i U. S. Rails :' - '"' " ,". I .';' r j ) "! Hum Again THE . nation's worst railroad strike in four years was set- tied last week and five major rail systems spanning the continent were back in normal service. The walkout of 18,000 locomo tive firemen and enginemen lasted only six days and; aside from passen ger inconvenience, (directly affected only about 200,000 workers in indus tries relying on uninterrupted - rail service. But the cost to carriers and affected industries was , estimated at $50,000,000. .- . V The Key Five -The struck lines were the Pennsyl vania, thei New York Central,JSouth em Railway, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and the Union Pacific. Only parts of each system were struck. - Both sides expressed satisfaction with the settlement terms. .. ' . j The rail lines feel they won the fight on the principal issue not to put a third man on the big diesels. That was the purpose for which the strike showdown was called. Two Presidential fact-finding boards, provided s for i under, the Federal Railway Labor Law, previously havo ruled against, the' union on this de mand. It has been a point in dispute between the carriers and the brother hood' for more than 10 years. i . - . i Politics Lead On, Duff! ; ( Gov. James H. Duff has wrested control of the Pennsylvania Republi can organization from the "Ol Guard" leadership of former Ser Joseph R. Grundy in one of the mos heated primary campaigns in i ' decade. The victory portends for Duff contro" of the Pennsylvania delegation to tht i 1952 Republican convention where ill will cast the second largest bloc ol votes in the determination of the next Presidential nominee. t The 67-year-old governor, who by law cannot succeed hiinself, won the Republican nomination for U.S. Sena tor by a wide margin oyer the Grundy , candidate, Rep. John C. Kunkel, Duffs choice for governor, former Judge John S. Fine, had a substantial mar gin over his Grundy opponent. Jay Cooke, Philadelphia investment bank er.. . - . ; Duff and Grundy are old rivals on i the national scene. At thel 1948 GOF - convention, Duff pled an insurgent move against the designation oi Dewey but Grundy managed to swing' most of the big Pennsylvania delega tion to the Dewey camp and started the bandwagon rolling for. the New York governor's nomination. In the primary fight, both sides ac- i cepted the battle as between "progres sives" and "conservatives.",. The Grundy organization, one of the last remaining political dynasties ..had ruled Pennsylvania Republicans for 30 years. - 1 Duff described Grundy as a symbol of "government by a few, for the benefit of a few, at the expense of the public" , Grunqy retorted by assailing Duff as not a progressive" but something worse, a "New Dealer disguised as a Republican."
