1 1 Price Controls
Lilted by OPA
From 100 Items
New List Includes
Matches, Milking Mach
ines, Dairy Equipment
Washington, Nov. 1 (IP) Price
controls were lifted from nearly
100 more items today as OPA
took on the appearance of a
skeleton left over from Hallow
een. The new list included paper
and wood matches, milking ma
chines and other dairy equip
ment, some lighting fixtures, a
few lumber items, and a long
list of industrial products.
It was issued as the price
agency took sweeping action to
ward decontrolling itself along
with the rational economy. No
tice was served on approximate
ly 10.000 OPA field workers
roughly one-third of the remain
ing staff that their jobs will
fold up in 30 days. ,
Even more immediately, OPA
ordered its last local price
, boards, 1642 of them, locked up
-pr good on Monday.
Supply Balances Demand
Today's decontrol announce
ment said the latest list of ar
ticles was freed "because their
supply is in approximate bal
ance with demand, or because
they are unimportant in busi
ness or living costs."
Farm dairy machinery freed
from controls included churns,
ice refrigerated milk coolers,
and cream and milk separators.
Other machinery items re
leased included certain gasoline
and diesel engines and some
pumps.
The lighting equipment on the
list included incandescent fix
tures for industrial and commer
cial use except flourescent fix
tures. Among lumber items decon
trolled are redwood lumber
used for cigar boxes, walnut
lumber and walnut gunstock
blanks.
Metal Products Listed
Metal products on the list
were fluid milk shipping con
tainers and wire reinforcing for
use in concrete. School and pas
senger bus bodies and parts also
went on the free list.
Agency officials said the
twin moves will save $10,000,
000 in salaries, rentals and other
expenses that otherwise would
have run on until OPA itself
died by law next June 30.

Washington, Nov. 1 John V.
Lewis' United Mine Workers put
their demand for a new contract
and higher pay before govern
ment officials in person today as
some soft coal diggers in West
Virginia laid down their tools
In emphasis.
Four thousand miners at Will
iamson, W. Va, stayed home
while negotiations between the
government and the UMW repre
sentatives were starting here.
Owners of the mines, mean
time, joined in a statement com
plaining that the government de
cision to confer with Lewis was
politically inspired and that any
concessions would be "a public
disgrace."
Lewis Absent.
1 Lewis, president of the union,
absented himself from the start
of the conferences which he de
manded with the coal mines ad
ministration. The UMW chief
remained in his office while sub
ordinates headed by John J. O'
Leary, UMW vice president, met
with navy captain N. H. Collis
son, the coal mines adminstrator.
Absent also was Secretary of
the Interior, J. A. Krug With
whom Lewis made the current
agreement last May 29 to end a
59-day strike. Lewis now asks
reopening of that contract.
Neither side would comment
on the process of the morning
sessions as they recessed until
2:30 p. m.
J. J. Ardigo of the William
son Coal Mine Operators Associ
ation said at Williamson, W. Va.,
that 15 of the 42 mines in that
area were forced to close down
because of the failure of 4000
miners to show up.
In line with Lewis' conten
tion that the government has
breached the agreement under
which the government is runn
ing the federally seized mines,
Ardigo quoted miners as saying
the stoppage was a matter of
"no contract, no work."
Operators Protest
As the meeting opened the
bituminous coal operators' ne
gotiating committee issued a
statement saying the govern
ment in the view of the commit
tee has decided to reopen its
contract with Lewis and that the
decision had been made by "po
litically minded men."
Lewis has demanded such re
opening but so far the govern
ment has not directly agreed to
go that far.
The private operators have
had no authority except as man
agers for the government in op
eration of the mines since the
government seized them last
May 22 and then made an agree
ment with Lewis to end a two
months strike.
The operators' statement said
that Secretary of Interior Krug,
now on tour in the west, had
held that the government con
tract coud not be reopened but
that Krug had been overruled.

Trial of 27 Jap
War Leaders
Nears Climax
Tokyo, Nov. 1 OI.R) The trial
of 27 leading Japanese accused
of war crimes approached its
climax today as the prosecution
outlined the plan that touched
off the Pacific war.
This phase of the trial marked
the introduction of prosecution
evidence designed to show that
Japanese militarists regarded
diplomatic "conversations" as a
smokescreen for a conquest they
hoped would yield them a sub
stantial part of the Far East.
Tojo Heads List
It was expected that the pro
secution would furnish its
strongest evidence against Hid
ki Tojo, the militarist who be
came premier two months before
Pearl Harbor and who was Ja
pan's wartime leader until the
invasion cf Saipan in July, 1944.
The prosecution will introduce
records of heretofore secret cab
inet and privy council meetings
and captured Japanese army and
navy documents, Higgins prom
ised. He said the evidence
would show;
Evidence Stated
1. President Roosevelt sent a
triple priority telegram to Em
peror Hirohito through Ambas
sador Joseph Grew in Tokyo in
which the president made a per
sonal appeal to avert war. This
telegram was delivered to Grew
lOVi hours late because of "de
liberate orders" given Japanese
postal authorities to delay all
such messages.
2. Shigenori Togo, former for

lied to Grew about the time he
gave the president's message to
the emperor.

at an imperial conference where
it was decided that Japan would
advance southward even if it
meant war with the United
States, Britain and The Nether
lands. 4. On Sept. 6, Tojo called a
conference at which it was de

preparations at the same time it

"This time, however, I firm

"It is the principal duty of your

house in which four merchant
seamen lost their lives and five
others were injured.
Police Commissioner Hamil
ton R. Atkinson, assuming per

of whom were questioned and
released.
Amid denunciations of the
bombing by Mayor Theodore R.
McKcldin, who described it as
"mass murder," and other offi

federal bureau of investigation
was called upon to study two
warning notes which police said
were delivered before the
bombing.
Jesse Rodriguez, proprietor of
the rooming-house, said one of
the notes was thrown through a

Police quoted it as follows:
"Slop rooming finks (labor

U.S. Not Ready to Pay Half of
Administrative Costs of U. N. As
Proposed in Budgeting Plans
Vandenberg Attacks Financial Set-up As General
Assembly Split Up 51 Nation Committees to
Debate 50 Items on Agenda
Lake Success, N. Y., Nov. 1 IIP' Senator Arthur II. Vandenberg
(R., Mich.) today sharply attacked the proposed United Nations
budgetary plans w ith the flat assertion that the United States was
not ready to pay 50 percent of the administrative cases as sug
gested. Vandenberg, a United States delegate to the UN, leveled his
broadside at the whole financial setup as the general assembly
split up into 51-nation committees to begin the task of debating
more than 50 items on a crowded agenda.
Coupling his stand with a strong appeal for economy, Vanden
berg told the financial committee that the United States felt
that the capacity-to-pay yardstick advanced by the UN as a sole
bases for assessments to be "inadequate and unreliable."
"The United States is unable to accept the flattering concept
that its economic system is so good that it gives five percent of the
people of the world control otf
50 percent of the earning capa
city of the world," he said. "It
our economic system is that
good we might suggest that the
other United Nations adopt it."
Vandenberg said that his
government was ready to pay 25
percent, which he wanted estab
lished as a permanent ceiling on
the total to be assessed against
any one government. However,
the senator said his government
was ready to urge congress to
approve 33 percent for 1947 on
a strictly temporary basis.
U.N. Budgets Received
After the meeting, Vanden
berg told newsmen that any na
tion paying one-half "would
soon want half the authority."
He stressed that he was discuss
ing only the administrative bud
get and that the United States
was willing to pay more of
operational expenses covering
such agencies as the interna
tional relief organization.
The committee received ten
tative budgets for $19,627,964
for 1946 and $23,790,008 for
1947.
So far the United Nations has
been paying bills from a $25,,
000,000 working capital advanc
ed by the 51 nations. The as
sessment basis for the regular
contributions will be decided at
the current assembly session.
Too Much of a Burden
"Peace is worth whatever it
may cost," he said, "but the U
N. will retrogress when any
peace-loving nations can no lon
ger afford to belong. It also will
retrogress if it concentrates too
much of a burden on one or
two members."
Vandenberg said he could not
accept any plan to "manipu
late" assessments so that the
burden falls on a few, declar
ing that it would not be long
before the few would be insist
ing on special rights.
"Equality of nations could not
survive a fiscal system giving
50 percent of the budget to one
nation out of 51," Vandenberg
declared.
Veto Power Issue
Meanwhile, the United States
delegation was reported consid
ering its approach to the ques
tion of the big power veto in
assembly committee. While no
definite decision was made on
the exact stand to be taken, it
was previously understood that
the United States opposed any
charter amendment but instead
hoped to get private agreements
among the major powers to lim
it use of the special voting right.
The United States delegation
also was preparing an' amend
ment on broad lines to a sys
tem of international inspections
and safeguards which would
supplement the Soviet arms pro
posals. Garbage Strike in
