, United Nations Site Opened to All Parts of U.S. Consideration of GHQ Broadened Against American Opposition New York, Nov. 9 OT The United Nations assembly today threw the question of a United Nation, headquarters site wide open to all "parts of the Unit ed States which may be avail able without cost or at reason able cost." The action was on a British amendment to a United States proposal which would have broadened the consideration of a site to include New York City and San Francisco, as well as Westchester county, N.Y., which already is being studied. Despite vigorous U.S. oppo sition, the assembly approved the British amendment by a vote of 28 to 15, with two ab staining. Russia, France and Britain voted to throw the ques tion open to the whole United States. The assembly then approved TiVie amended U.S. resolution by , fi vote of 33 to 2. Withdraws Geneva Earlier Dmitri Manuilsky, foreign minister of the Soviet Ukraine, had withdrawn his proposal that Europe be con sidered as permanent headquar ters for the U.N., but he an nounced that he would propose that the assembly hold its next meeting in Europe. Both Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov and British Rep resentative Sir Hartley Shaw cross insisted that the question of a permanent U.N. home should be kept open to con sider places other than the three suggested by the United States. Shawcross said he did not want to reopen the question of the United States vs. Europe, but he said he felt there were other "east coast sites" which might be better than New York or San Francisco. Next Session in Europe Molotov agreed with Shaw cross. Supporting Manuilsky's proposal that the assembly hold its next session in Europe, he said that the first session had been held in London, the sec ond in New York and that he thought it would be a good idea to shift back to Europe for the third. The controversy developed as Ijhe assembly turned to the U.S. site proposal, after unanimous ly approving the admission of Sweden, Iceland and Afghanis tan to U.N. membership.

Halleck of Indiana claimed today the iob of house renublican floor leader in the 80th congress "is in the iriends of Rep. Clarence-Brown countered promptly that the 57- year-old Ohioan "has it all sew ed up." The contest goes on aeainst a background of jockeying for ad vantage in the campaign for the 1948 republican presidential nomination. Halleck backers say election of Brown would give Senator Robert A. Taft and the state of Ohio entirely too much weight in the new congress. Taft, al ready in line for the senate lead ership, is one of the GOP presi dential hopefuls and Brown is regarded as a member of his camp.

The New York, Chicago and San Francisco units Friday night joined the Hollywood unit of AFRA in authorizing their ex ecutive board to call a strike. Negotiations between the union and the networks were broken off October 30 over a union de mand for a clause in the new contract, which, a union spokes man said, "would require all networks to refuse to pipe in their programs to any affiliated station which refused to negoti ate or arbitrate issues with AFRA." Strike Summary Other developments included: Two Rochester, N. Y., news papers suspended publication after a walkout of mechanical employes; principals in the 19-day-old strike by 1400 AFL pi lots against Trans World Air line were called into conference by a federal mediator in Wash ington; a threatened work stop page at the Ford Motor com pany's big Rouge plant near Detroit disappeared: striking meat cutters and clerks voted to end their eight-day walkout which had closed 85 Denver gro cery stores; in San Francisco four CIO longshoremen were ar rested for leading a parade without a permit after some 2000 striking maritime union ists were prevented by police from massing in front of ship owner offices.

Joseph W. Martin, Jr., of Massa chusetts. But colleagues of both are working avidly behind the scenes, and in the case of Hal leck, at least, have sent letters to all republican representatives-elect requesting their sup port. Similar, letters are expect ed to be forthcoming from Brown's lieutenants. Haileck's friends claim he is entitled to the leadership both by seniority and tradition. He has been in congress four years longer than Brown and has been chairman of the republican con gressional campaign committee, a post held by Martin before he became republican floor leader. The Brown forces insist he merits the job because he di rected the campaign which put republicans in control of con gress in last Tuesday's elections. -ir ft Salem, Oregon, Saturday, November 9, 1946 - 1 - :V USN Celebrates Navy Day at Tokyo Navy personnel stationed in Japanese waters gather on the fantail of the Cruiser USS Chicago in Tokyo bay for ceremonies marking Navy Day.

Army and Notre Dame Battle to Scoreless Tie Yankee Stadium, New York, Nov. 9 OT Army's all-victorious three-year march of triumph over the nation's gridirons came to an end today after 25 straight wins as the Cadets v.-ere held to a scoreless tie by a big, crunching Notre Dame team before a vast throng of more than 74,000 persons. Two sets of vicious linemen who gave ground grudgingly be tween the 20 yard stripes, but were concrete and steel when danger threatened, fought the game down to the wire and nev er gave the rival ball-carriers a real chance at scoring terri tory, in this national champion ship clash. Three times army threatened three times by recovering No tre Dame fumbles but each time the Irish slammed the door in the faces of the fearsome Doc Blanehard and Glenn Davis and the far more dangerous, today anyway Arnold Tucker who was army's offensive star of the aft ernoon. The Irish, on the other hand, had only one scoring shot, in the second period when they put on the game's lone sustained drive of any real importance. This was an 84-yard march from their own five to the army three, with Gerry Cowhig, the rangy New England halfback who only recently recovered from his soldier-acquired "infantry feet." picking up 39 yards in four gal lops. The one big advance in the drive was a 25-yard pitch that Bob Skoglund received from Johnny Lujack, who quar terbacked the Irish virtually the entire game, in spite of his sprained ankle.

Truman Gives Formal Approval For Junking Most Remaining Controls Over Prices and Wages Government Officiols Who Drew Program Say Go-Ahead Received Rent and Sugar Remain Under Ceiling Building Materials Protested Washington, Nov. 9 OT President Truman was reported today to have given formal approval to administration plans for dis carding wage and price controls generally. Government officials who helped draw up the program, which calls for junking of nearly all remaining controls, told a reporter that they understand Mr. Truman has given the program a go ahead. These officials said there Is a possibility that the president will announce his decision at a news conference scheduled for Monday morning. They added, however, that the announcement may be deferred until later in the week. The decontrol program as it went to Mr. Truman provided for elimination of all controls except those on rent and the few food items still under ceiling. But the plan was accompanied by protests ot some officials that the controls should be kept on building materials and base items like coal and steel. There was no immediate im plication as to Mr. Truman's de cision on this point. Cabinet Approves Cabinet officers lined up to day in staunch support of ad ministration plans for scrapping perhaps next week nearly all price and wage controls still on the books. A top government official fa miliar with the decontrol dis cussions told a reporter that three cabinet members had helped Reconversion Director John R. Steelman formulate the program. This official said the three are Secretary of the Treasury Sny der, Secretary of Commerce Harriman and Secretary of La bor Schwcllenbach. Sweeping Decontrol Steelman held discussions two weeks ago with Harriman and Schwellenbach. Early this week he called them together again and they were joined by Snyder. They decided, it was under stood, that sweeping decontrol is the course that should be fol lowed. Steelman has recom mended this to President Tru man and reportedly expects the chief executive will endorse and announce the program in a few days. Officials in a position to know said Steelman outlined the far reaching decontrol plan at yes terday's full cabinet meeting and that no objections were raised. Rentals to Remain Under tire plan virtually si! price and wage controls except those on rents and the few food items still under ceilings sugar, syrup and rice would be lifted. Housing Administrator Wil son W. Wyatt still is opposing elimination of controls on build ing materials, but his aides say he expects the decision to go against him. Lined up with Steelman and the cabinet officers in favor of a broad-scale junking of con trols are OPA Chief Paul Por ter, Civilian Production Admin istrator John D. Small and Wil lard W. Wirlz. chairman of the wage stabilization board. Building Control to Go They reportedly have taken the stand that building materi als could not remain under con trol unless restrictions were con tinued on basic commodities like coal, steel and other metals. They are understood to favor decontrol of these basic items, along with such products as au tomobiles, clothing and textiles, refrigerators and tires. Removal of price ceilings on these and other items automati cally would eliminate wage con trols in these industries.

Charles G. Ross, press secre tary, in making the announce ment, did not say what the state ment would deal with in partic ular, but it was learned it would be a brief general statement of policy in the light of last Tues day's election results. Word got out overnight that the president was working on a statement that he will place the nation's welfare above personal and party interest in the admin istration of government under a republican congress. This infor mation came from some of his intimates. The time set for Monday's news conference is a half hour earlier than is usual for such conferences. This will permit the president to go to Arlington National cemetery to participate in Armistice day ceremonies at 11 a.m. He will lay a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and then make a few extempo raneous remarks from the mar ble rostrum of the Arlington amphitheater. Persons who have talked with the chief executive since Tues day's general election believe the tone of Monday's promised statement will be conciliatory. Continue to Buy Rubber Washington, Nov. 9 OT Re conversion Director John R. Steelman announced today that government buying of natural rubber will not be abandoned "in the near future." This presumably meant that the government would stay in the rubber business probably beyond Dec. 31, when the inter national allocation of British, Dutch and other rubber supplies ends. Government officials have debated whether to turn the trade over to private business at year's end, but have stated this will be done by March 31 in any case. Government controls over the allocation and use of natural rubber within this country such as the restrictions on ths amount used in tires must be continued beyond March 31, Steelman's statement said. His announcement was made after a meeting in his office of Ihe rubber industry advisory committee of the civilian pro duction administration. He said industry spokesmen stressed the necessity, in the interests of national security, of "continuing for the present the public procurement of rubber as an integral part of an over all program for insuring con tinuation of a United States synthetic vubVxyr VmlusYty ."
