Byrnes on Radio
At 7 oXIock
Washington, Oct. 18 VP) Sec
' rctary of State Byrnes drafted
a report to the American peo
ple today on the diplomatic
conflict between the United
States and Russia.
Top authorities suggested he
would make use of the occasion
to lash back at criticism of his
foreign policies by former Sec
retary of Commerce Henry A.
Wallace.
Byrnes, who returned yester
day from the Paris peace con-N-
fcrence and received President
fcruman's congratulations on a
roost excellent job," was sche
duled to broadcast for 30 min
utes beginning at 7 p.m. (Pa
cific Time) tonight. NBC and
some MBS stations arranged to
carry the speech. KOMO, Seat
tle, will be one station to handle
it.
In writing his address Byrnes
was reported to have two prin
cipal objectives in view:
1. To try to knock down Rus
sian charges that the capitalist
world is seeking to encircle the
Soviet union.
2. To smash the Wallace im
plications that his policy toward
Russia is a policy of "toughness"'
and should be softened even at
the risk of actions which, in
Wallace's words, might be call
ed appeasement.

Reds Reject
Chiang's Offer
San Francisco, Oct. 18 VP)
Chinese communist headquar
ters at Yenan broadcast to the
world today that it will negoti
ate for permanent peace if Chi
ang Kai-Shek will demonstrate
his good faith by abiding by the
January cease fire agreement
and all agreements reached
since then.
The broadcast, recorded by
the Associated Press, in effect
rejected Chiang's Wednesday
peace proposal, transmitted
through General Marshall.
The party's central commit
tee issued a lengthy statement
recounting negotiations and al
leged breaches of agreements
since January and concluded:
"If negotiations today are ex
pected to attain actual results,
the sacred validity of the cease
fire agreement should be rec
ognized; namely, restoration of
positions occupied by Kuomin
tang (government party) and
communists troops on January
13, should form the criterion
for all military talks and the
implementation of all political
consultation conference deci
sions should form the criteria
for all political cliques."
With both the government
and communists charging viola
tions of the January agreement,
the civil war has intensified
rather than lessened and na
tionalist forces have seized con
siderable territory from the
reds, including their big mli
tary base, Kalgan.
Goering Boasted in Letter
How He Proposed to Suicide
Nuernberg, Oct. 18 UP) Hermann Goering in a last burst of
braggadocio wrote a letter telling just how he purposed to com
mit suicide under the noses of his guards, a high source reported
today. That informant said the
letter, addressed to Col. B. C.
Andrus, and two more found in
his cell would be submitted,
probably Monday, to the allied
control council in Berlin.
One of the letters, the source
said, was addressed to the
reichsmarshal's widow, Emmy
Goering, and the other was ad
dressed to the German people,
urging them to have courage.
Others besides Goering among
the 10 doomed nazi leaders had
hoped to beat the gallows by
suicide, a security official re
vealed. Capt. Samuel Binder
said that from January 1 until
the execution day, guards 10
times had found prohibited ar
ticles in the cells of the con
demned. He said any of these
articles might have been used
for self destruction.
The articles ranged from a
Army Threatens
Removal from
Seattle Port
Seattle, Oct. 18 VP) A threat-
to close the Seattle port of em
barkation and transfer its op
erations to other ports precipi
tated a clash late yesterday be
tween Col. Fenton S. Jacobs,
commanding officer of the port,
and unionists engaged in the
current waterfront strike.
In a sharply worded statement
Colonel Jacobs said he would
recommend the closure "unless
organized labor will extend the
cooperation necessary for me to
accomplish my mission and duty
to our government."
He cited a long list of griev
ances in an open letter to the
committee for maritime unity
after a CMU decision was an
nounced to remove union mem
bers from military vessels here
and to limit army transport ves
sel cargoes to food, clothing and
medical supplies. "
The colonel's blast brought a
CMU reply denying any inten
tion to close the port. It ex
pressed regret "the army should
align itself against the welfare
of the public and the thou
sands of maritime workers on
strike by taking up the fight in
behalf of the steamship opera
tors. . . ."
Burt Nelson, northwest CMU
chairman, earlier had announced
the strikers were "tightening
up" on army shipping here.
Union Hostility
"For the past several months,"
wrote the colonel, "the local
maritime unions have exhibited
an attitude of hostility and in
terference which has delayed
the operations of the port and
added greatly to the cost of
government."
Ho listed 25 "recent causes
for work stoppage, not generally
known," including:
"Refusal to work under scru
tiny of civilian guards posted to
prevent pilfering; refusal to
work with members of rival un
ion organizations regardless of
the shortage of men; refusal to
work with military work details;
refusal to work unless permitted
to smoke in pier toilets; refusal
to woi-E with civil service per
sonnel; threats to stop civil re
lief cargoes to enemy countries;
refusal to work because required
to reveal Identification; refusal
to ' work unless permitted to
smoke on ships posted as 'hot'
by post fire marshal in accord
ance with local ordinances. . ."
FBI Probing
Missouri Vote
Kansas City, Oct. 18 (IP) The
federal bureau of investigation
turned its spotlight today on
alleged vote fraud in the demo
cratic primary election last Au
gust in President Truman's
home county where a political
unknown, backed by the presi
dent and the Pendergast dem
ocratic organization, defeated
Rep. Roger C. Slaughter for
renomination in Missouri's con
gressional fifth district.
The FBI began its investiga
tion following an independent
one by the Kansas City Star
which resulted in a series of
stories containing charge of ir
regularities at the polls.
The newspaper disclosed that
the FBI agents had called for
all the information it had ob
tained on the election last Au

politics here, won over Slaugh

Goering told his wife in her
last visit to the prison that he
no longer had any of the poison
with which he had hoped to
cheat justice, the widow declar
ed today. The sobbing widow
said she did not know whether
he really had poison at the time,
or whether he was afraid to
tell her of it for fear she would
cry out in surprise. She said
she had asked him whether he
had any more of the poison
which both had when arrested.
Prison officials theorized that
Goering probably slipped his
poison vial into his mouth while
at the toilet in the corner of
his cell the night of the executions.

World-Wide Search on
For Windsor Gem Thief
London, Oct. 18 (IP) An intensive hunt for the thieves who
stole part of the Duchess of Windsor's jewelry extended today
into Europe and reached across the Atlantic as authorities pro
ceeded on a theory the daring crime was the work of international
gem thieves. The tweed-clad duke, who had come to England
for a private, quiet visit, valued
the loot at not more than $80,
000. Speaking from his tem
porary home at Sunningdale,
where the robbery was commit
ted Wednesday night, he told
British newsmen he was deeply
concerned and annoyed at "the
exaggerated reports of the value
of the stolen jewelry," which
one British paper placed as high
as $2,000,000.
"There is absolutely no truth
in the published statement that
the jewelry was worth 250,000
pounds ($1,000,000)," the duke
said. "I can understand that a
quarter, .of . a million pounds
makes better, reading than 20,
000 pounds, "but 20,000 pounds
is the value".
Scotland Yard, supreme head
quarters of a ramified investi
gation, put its criminal investi
gations division's most astute
minds to work on the case. R.
M. Howe, assistant commission
er and one of the nation's fore
most crime specialists, took per
sonal charge of the hunt, which
is reaching into the haunts and
hideouts of known crooks in
Britain and continental coun
tries, on the theory that the
thieves had tried or would try
for a quick getaway from Eng
land. The jewelry was taken from
the duchess' bedroom by a "cat
burglar" who, police said, evi
dently climbed an ivy-encircled
pipe to a second-story window.
More mystery was added to
the circumstances surrounding
the daring theft when search
ers found a substantial quantity
of the Windsors' world-famous
gems collection scattered over
a golf course adjoining the
grounds of the lodge.
Skipper Refuses
To Join Union
New York, Oct. 18 (P) Com
modore Harry Manning, veteran
sea skipper and master of the
liner America, says he "would
starve" before joining the AFL
Masters, Mates and Pilots union
and that he considers a demand
for union affiliation "an affront
to my constitutional liberties "
Manning made his statement
yesterday in reply to reports
the Norfolk, Va., local of the
union had demanded he and his
officers join the union before it
would permit the refurbished
liner to make its first postwar
voyage.
The Masters union and the
CIO Marine Engineers Bene
ficial association are involved
in the current maritime strike.
They struck October 1 for wage
increases of 30 and 35 per cent,
respectively. The masters also
seek a closed shop.
A spokesman for the United
States lines, owners of the liner
which now is at Newport News,
said Wednesday night the
union's Norfolk local had made
the demand upon Manning. .
But M. E. Braden, chairman
of the strike committee of the
union at Hampton Roads, Va.,
denied last night he had told
anyone Manning must join the
union.
He declared, however, it had
been the policy of the union for
a long time "that all masters
and mates should be among its
members."

For Irrigation
Washington, Oct. 18 (IP) The
intriguing idea of harnessing
atomic energy to turn western
deserts into fertile farms at
tracted official notice today
even as a new federal agency
came into being to plumb the
depths of scientific possibilities.
President Truman, seeking to
plug the gap left when congress
adjourned without setting up a
projected national science foun
dation, created his own presi
dential research board and
handed it this assignment:
"To insure that the scientific
personnel, training and research
facilities of the nation are used
most effectively in the national
interest." "
At its head the president
placed Reconversion Director
John R. Stcelman.
Almost simultaneously with
the White House announcement
late yesterday, Undersecretary
of the Interior Oscar L. Chap
man told a reporter that one of
the lop economists of the in
terior department had been
discussing with him the possi
bilities of using atomic energy
to purify sea water and then
pump it inland to irrigate desert
areas.
Declaring that the economist
"is not a visionary," Chapman
added: "He is a scientist, speak

Washington, Oct. 18 VP) President Truman and his cabinet
discussed wage controls today as the administration pushed ahead
with plans to take federal curbs off the economy, pegged to a Nov.
1 deadline for removal of most price ceilings.
Secretary of the Interior J. A. Krug, emerging from the 50
minutc White House session, said the cabinet members had talked
about wage controls "a little bit."
Asked whether there would be
pay controls, Krug inquired, "What
A reporter said he wanted to know wnctner mere wouia dc any

plied that the board had not been discussed.
The secretary said that the subject ot pay controls iiicmscivcs

of wage controls will be speeded
up as the scrapping or price
ceilings is accelerated.
Some labor and business lcad
s have demanded that the
wage stabilization board be abol
ished, and the two industry
members of the tripartite panel
have submitted resignations to
Mr. Truman.
A high official said that
foods, services and many com
modities will be taken out from
under ceilings by Nov. 1 two
months or more earlier than
had been planned before Presi
dent Truman's meat decision.
Building Materials Remain
This official emphasized to a
reporter that it will be "an or

will not result in "not or chaos.
Furthermore, for the some

added that price lids will re

building materials, refrigerators.
furniture, basic clothing items
and farm implements.
Major developments on the
fast-moving decontrol front in
cluded:
1. Flour, bread and other bak
ery products figured in specula
tion as the next important food
items to be freed of price ceil
ings. The milling industry formally
requested Secretary of Agricul
ture Clinton P. Anderson to
lift controls from wheat flour.
semolina and farina, declaring
that wheat supplies are ample.
Chicago flour circles voiced
doubt, however, that flour ceil
ings would be scrapped immedi
ately. Selling in wheat broke
the prices of bread cereal in a
jittery Chicago market yester
day. 2. Coffee went off the con
trolled list completely. And
price lids were hoisted slightly
on jams, jellies, fruit preserves
and men's white handkerchiefs
among other things. The in
creases will amount to one and
two cents a pound jar for the
sweets and from 7 to 14 cents
for handkerchiefs.
3. South of the border, the
vanguard of 500,000 lean young
Mexican beef cattle began to
move toward fattening pastures
and ranges throughout the
southwest United Slates.
Mexican Cattle to Come
The embargo on Mexican cat
tle was lifted at midnight. The
cattle mist be fed, fattened and
processed, however. Hence their
entrance will have little or no
immediate effect on the current
meat situation.
4. An avalanche of meat the
biggest in 10 months jammed
the nation's livestock markets.
Prices collapsed from $1 to $10
a hundred pounds yesterday.
Butter, eggs and poultry also
dropped.
5. Administration lead e r s,
forecasting a congressional drive
aimed at junking all controls
(including rents and the veter
ans housing program), agreed
that the entire OPA staff of 34,
000 and its functions must be
slashed to the bone before the
lawmakers reconvene in Janu

their demands on the While

Stock Shipments
On the Increase
(By tliB Untied Press!
The heaviest Friday shipment
of livestock this year moved
into the big cornbelt stockyards
today, with a promise of meat
for the nation's dinner tables
next week.
Early hog prices, however, in
dicated a sharp rise, although
how much of this would be re
flected in the retail price of
pork chops and bacon could not
be determined.
Hog prices rose to all-lime
high levels immediately after
price ceilings were removed
Monday. Yesterday and the day
before, however, they dropped
sharply. Today they were rising
again.
The American Meat institute
said that most meat-on-the hoof
moving into the stockyards this
week would reach retail butch
er shops late next week. It takes
between 10 days and two
weeks for a steer arriving at
the Chicago stockyards to be
come steak on a New York din
ner table, the institute said.
Railroad officials and meat
packers reported there was se
vere shortage of cattle cars in
the west. A high percentage of
animals marketed this week
have been shipped by truck, but
railroad transportation is need
ed for the long haul from the
western ranges.
At Portland the upsurge of
livestock prices which followed
lifting of OPA ceilings appeared
at an end. The cattle market
at the North Portland stockyard
was weak. Hogs and sheep were
in heavy demand, but prices re
mained at an even keel for the
second day.
Commodities
Fluctuate
Chicago, Oct. 18 W) Wide
price fluctuations characterized
trading in commodities today
with price trends quickly re
versing themselves. It was the
third day of confused, nervous
markets.
At mid-way in the day's trad
ing on various markets this was
the situation:
Cotton futures, after advanc
ing as much as $8.00 a bale ill
early trading at New York, were
again hit by heavy selling and
dropped $10.00 a bale from the
preceding session's close.
The limit break followed up
on two days of plunging prices,
sharpest two-day decline in
more than 25 years.
Grain futures moved erratic
ally. Wheat was off more than
3 cents a bushel following a 5
cent limit break yesterday. Corn
was ahead fractionally while
oats were fractionally lower.
Livestock markets showed
hogs slightly higher and cattle
slightly lower. At Chicago, hogs
sold $1.00 to $2.00 a hundred
pounds higher after yesterday s
most severe drop in market his
tory. Steers were mostly $1.00
to S2.00 lower.
Egg futures at Chicago were
down around ',2 cent a dozen.
Wholesale egg prices at Chi

Live poultry was quoted as
