Byrnes Tackles
New Problems
Washington, Oct. 21 W) Sec
retary of Stale Byrnes, report
edly confident that his "patient
but firm" attitude toward Russia
. has wider support than ever,
tackled pressing new problems
today ranging from the Pacific
to Turkey.
Aides said Byrnes was partic
ularly pleased with the week
end radio speech of Senator
Vandenberg (R., Mich.) empha
sizing the "bipartisan" nature of
American foreign policy and
5$rith President Truman's com
lMendation of his own address
setting forth specific points of
that policy.
While the White House was
silent on the field Mr. Truman
will cover when he speaks at
the opening session of the Unit
ed Nations general assembly in
New York on Wednesday, offi
cials in a position to know said
the chief executve, like Vanden
berg, will stress a number of the
points made by Byrnes.
In particular, these officials
said they expect Mr. Truman to
deplore the fear and suspicion
which have hampered inter-allied
attempts to create a "cli
mate" for peace in Europe, and
the talk of the inevitability of
another war.
The president, they said, will
emphasize the necessity of
achieving "freedom from fear."
And he may, they add, make
some pointed, if indirect, refer
ences to what the American gov
ernment regards as Russian
"war of nerves" tactics toward
countries supporting American
and British objectives on peace
making issues.

Berlin Voters
Reject Russian
Sponsored Reds
Berlin, Oct. 21 (Pi Virtu
ally complete returns today
showed that the citizens of Ber
lin sharply rebuffed the Russian-sponsored
'socialist unity
(communist) party in elections
for city and borough councils.
The social democratic party
won 48.7 percent of the tabulat
ed voles and the Christian dem
ocrats took second place with
approximately 22 percent.
The socialist unity party,
which was formed in the Rus
sian zone by merging the com
munist and social democrats
parties, ran third with about
19.8 percent.
In All Four Zones
The balloting was in all four
of Berlin's occupation zones for
parties, and not for individual
candidates. City and borough
councils will be selected on a
proportional basis. The new
council will replace the city
government established last
year by the Russians when the
red army was the only military
force present.
Fourth in the voting was the
liberal-democrat party with 9.5
percent of the vote.
Social democrats leaders said
they were surprised at the ex
tent of their plurality and that
they had expected to win only
40 percent.
What Parties Represent
The social democrats stand
for socialization of industries.
The second ranking Christian
democrats are staunch advocates
of private property rights. The
socialist unity party also espous
ed socialization of industries,
advocating wide expropriation
of properties belonging to per
sons they call "war criminals,
big nazis and capitalists," a
means opposed by the social
democrats.

Slave Labor
Denied by Slavs
Belgrade, Oct. 21 W) Char
acterizing as a "malicious false
hood" U.S. state department
charges that Yugoslavs were
using "Americans as slave la
bor," a foreign ministry spokes
man said yesterday the asser
tion was part of a campaign
launched by certain "Ameri
can circles" against Yugoslavia.
A U.S. state department note,
delivered last Friday, asserted
that persons with "a valid
claim" to U.S. citizenship were
being denied their international
rights. American officials am
plified this statement by declar
ng that at least 165 American
citizens had been thrown into
concentration camps in Yugo
slavia and rented out at forced
labor without pay. They said
the Yugoslavs had shipped three
Americans to Russia and per
mitted maltreatment which cost
the lives of at least 10.
Eric Kosh, press attachce for
the foreign ministry, said the
persons for whom the Ameri
can embassy in Belgrade claims
American citizenship were be
ing held as Germans.
"Yugoslavia is prepared to
hand over to the embassy any
volksduetsche whom the Amer
ican embassy recognizes as an
American citizen and whom the
American embassy undertakes
to send out of Yugoslavia imme
diately," he declared.
Kosh added that slave labor
has never existed in Yugoslavia,
which cannot be said of the
United States."
More Bombings
Protest of Denazification
Stuttgart, Germany, Oct. 21
official said today he expected
Blasts in the Stuttgart area, as '

can military government ex
pects a widespread outbreak
against the denazification pro
gram," the official, who may not

U.S. military and German
criminal police worked with
counter intelligence agents in
efforts to crack the bombing of
two denazification board head
quarters and a U.S. military jail
which some investigators thoght
to be connected to the approach
ing German trial of Hjalmar
Schacht. truculent old banker
who was acquitted at Nuern
berg. No one was hurt.
Schacht, under arrest in a
German prison some distance

"obviously a democratic pro

Trans-World
Airlines Halted
By Pilots Strike
Washington, Oct. 21 P) A
strike by pilots first of Us kind
in commercial aviation halted
all flights today by Trans-World
Airlines planes in the United
States and across the Atlantic,
The surprise walkout grew
out of a months-long dispute
over higher wages for the com
pany's 1400 pilots and co-pilots
Estimates of current earnings
varied. Strike leaders calcu
lated pay at $7600 to $9100 ear
ly whereas the airline negotiat
ing committee said it ranged up
to $12,598 annually under a
complicated formula.
Shortly after the strike be
gan at 4:59 a.m. (EST), the com
pany cancelled more than 90
scheduled flights for a 24-hour
period and announced the can
cellation would be extended
each day unless the strike ends.
Passengers Stranded
The company estimated that
3000 passengers booked on
grounded planes were stranded
or shunted to trains and other
airlines. Approximately 25 tons
of mail likewise was shifted to
other transportation.
Among those grounded at
least temporarily was the In1
dian delegation to the United
Nations assembly. TWA report
ed it was making efforts to get
them aboard other planes from
Shannon, Eire, to New York.
TWA Planes Grounded
TWA, the nation's fourth larg
est air carrier, was the only
airline hit by the strike which
David L. Bchncke, head of the
AFL Airline Pilots association,
described as a "last recourse'
in the prolonged wage dispute.
Picket lines appeared at the
company's shops and adminislra
tion building in Kansas City but
there was no similar action in
other cities.
TWA flies over 28,270 miles
of routes from coast to coast
in this country, and to Ireland,
Paris, Geneva, Lisbon, Rome,
Athens, Cairo and many other
world capitals.
Ultimatum Expires
The civil aeronautics board,
governing agency for aviation
mot in Washington, but a CAB
official told reporters he knew
of no action in prospect.
The strike got under way at
the expiration of a week-end ul
timatum from the union to the
company demanding the pay ad
justments. It first was set for
3 a.m. and then delayed two
hours.
The union rejected last month
a government fact-finding
board's recommendations for
settlement of the controversy.
Both sides disputed the effect
of the board's findings.
Behneke contended that the
board's proposal for a $750 in
crease in the $3000 annual base
pay and revisions of allowances
for hourly and mileage rates
amounted to a pay cut ranging
up to 24.7 percent.

Little Damage Caused
By Storm in Salem
Although the wind and rain storm that swept over the city
during the week-end brought precipitation that measures 1.97
inches, little material damage was caused. One and thirty-nine
hundredths inches of the total fell during the 24 hour period from
11 a.m., Saturday, to a .similar hour Sunday afternoon. A rise
of approximately two feet oc
curred in the Willamette river,
although that stream is still 1.5
feet below normal. Predictions
for the next 24 hours are for
continued cloudiness with light
rains following Tuesday morn
ing. The storm brought the total
for the month well above the
average for October. .
The Portland. General Elec

minor cases of trouble. "Noth
ing worth mentioning," said
David Wright, superintendent
of the line department. There
were no major interruptions and
most ot the interruptions were

Heavy Rain
Deluges Oregon
(By Uift Associated Press)
Rain pelted western Oregon
over the week-end and the
weatherman's forecast of con
tinned showers brought warn
mgs today of earth slides on
some slate highways.
The weather bureau reported
a rainfall of 1.52 for Saturday
and 1.24 Sunday, in Portland,
both the highest since early
February.
Rain totalled 2.52 inches at
Brookings during the 72 hours
ending at 4:30 this morning. In
the same period Portland had
1.71 inches, Eugene, 2.10, and
Salem, 1.96.
Highway accidents piled up
through the stale. In Portland,
the safety department recorded
more than 50 accidents Satur
day night and Sunday morning,
a record. More than half re
sulted in arrests and a score of
pedestrians and motorists went
to hospitals for treatment.
During the heavy Saturday
afternoon overcast in the Col
umbia river area, inbound air
traffic became snarled at the
Portland-Columbia airport
when a non-scheduled charter
plane was unable to land due
to radio failure. Other air
craft were stacked-up at various
levels, circling the airport, for
an hour until the Los Angeles
to Portland craft landed.
A rock slide five miles east
of Hood River on the Colum
bia river highway caused the
state highway commission to
limit travel to one-way traffic
today. The commission said the
small slide should be cleared
some time today.
In spite of the heavy week
end rains, highway conditions
were normal in all other places.

Strike Ended
Pittsburgh, Oct. 21 (P) In
dustrial life in the Pittsburgh
metropolitan area swung back
towards normal today upon the
end of a 27-day power strike
longest and costliest in the na

Hundreds of induslrial'planls
resumed work at full speed to
make up for lost production.
Street car transportation was
normal again and bus line op

With the 3,200 unionized Du-
qucsnc Light company employes
back at work the Sun-Telegraph
estimated the strike cost the
steel capital "at least $300,-
000,000" in business and wages.
Conciliation sessions to end
a 21-day-old hotel strike, also
costing the city considerable
business, resume today. The

Protest Shooting of Yank
By Soviet Police In Berlin
Berlin, Oct. 21 M'i The American military government pro
tested sharply to Russian authorities today over the fatal shooting
of Harry D. Flory, Jr., of Pawnee City, Neb., by a soviet military
policemar in the soviet sector
of Berlin.
The office of LI. Gen. Ducius

Price Controls fo Drop From
Flour, Bread, Other Baker Goods
Within the Next
Today Deadline for Action by Department of
Agriculture on Decontrol Petition of Bakers
Auto Makers Denied Further Price Increases
Washington, Oct. 21 Wi Both OPA and agriculture department
officials indicated today that price controls will drop from flour,
bread and other baked goods this week, possibly today or tomor
row. An OPA spokesman said there has been some discussion of de
controlling bread, rolls and other baked goods while temporarily
retaining ceilings on flour and other miller's products.
"OPA has opposed this as inconsistent," the agency spokesman
said, "We informed the agriculture department that if controls
arc to be lifted on broad and baked goods, they also should be
lifted at the miller level upon flour."
The official pointed out that controls had been removed from
all fats and oils, including shortening, which arc a big share ot
bakers' costs.
Today was the deadline for action by the agriculture department
upon a decontrol petition from j
the baked goods industry.
Agriculture previously had
denied a decontrol request by
millers but Ihe industry renewed
its petition and a public hearing
was conducted last week.
Freeing of flour, bread and
other goods from price ceilings
would reduce OPA controls to a
small share of the average fam
ily's food Cereals make up
about 13 percent of the average
family budget and about 80 per
cent of the food budget had been
freed from price lids previously.
On Automobile Front
On the automobile front,
where four industry-wide in
creases in the last year have
boosted ceilings roughly 22 per
cent above 1942 prices, the OPA
official told a reporter:
"Most of the major manufac
turers agree with us that auto
mobile prices have gone about
as high under ceilings as they
should."
The official declined to com
ment specifically, however, on a
pending General Motors request
for an additional price boost
similar to that granted the Ford
Motor company 50111c weeks ago
under terms of a hardship pro
vision of the new OPA act.
The Ford increase amounted
lo about six percent and was
in addition lo general hikes
granted lo offset higher wage
and material costs and to restore
normal profit margins to deal
ers. OPA has refused lo say exact
ly how much of a boost GM has
asked, although the figure of
$100 a car has been mentioned
by company executives at De
troit. Officials have stressed thai au
tomobiles, along with building
materials and other similarly
scarce items are lo be exempt
from the administration's No
vember 1 goal of getting rid of
most price controls.
