WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 ()
President Truman hammered
away agoin with congressional
leaders today in an effort to
break tho deadlocks on two of
his principal reconversion meas
ures "full employment" and
liberalization of jobless pay.
The Capitol Hill democratic
leaders, leaving the White
House, reported to newsmen:
The president emphasized he
Is "very anxious" to get the
"Jobs-for-oll" bill quickly."
Ho "still wonts'' the bill to
expand unemployment benefits
which has been gathering dust
for weeks on a house committee
shelf.

Construction of tho Wickiup

Actually, tho work on the
Owyhee project will cost $240,

drainage system, $27,534 for
pumping, $12,751 for laterals
and tho remainder for various
purposes Including $6076 for a

On tho Vnle project, laterals

ThKUTTI BILL-
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29 IT)
the $5,920,000,000 .first. -taca-time
tax-cutting bill was headed
toward . final passage today,
amid new demands for a slash
in federal expenditures and for
a balanced budget.
The size of the tax reduction
almost $1,000,000,000 above
the limit set by the administra
tioncaused some members of
the house budget-balancing bloc
to balk, but they acknowledged
the bill will pass despite their
opposition.
Chairman Cannon (D-Mo.) of
the appropriations committee
led the opposition, urging that
tax paring now would contrib
ute to inflation and deficit gov
ernment spending. He told re-'
porters it is "absurd" to cut
taxes while asking the nation
to subscribe to $11,000,000,000
in Victory bonds. He called for
economy in federal expend
itures, to bring them in line
with revenues and a balanced
budget.

On the other hand, Rep. Knut

These changes in the national
strike picture placed the total
number of persons not working
because of labor trouble at 245,
000, compared with 228,000 a

the weekend.
The number out would have

levels had not leaders of the

persons to studios.
Stoppage Ends
A stoppage at the Westing

grievance over wage scales. The
stoppage began Wednesday.
Another 6500 workers In

FORE!
FACE EARLY TESTS
Br JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 OP)
Myriad international problems
held a promise today of early
and critical tests for President
Truman's newly-proclaimed 12
point foreign policy.
One touchy point may disap
pear. This .concerns Russia's de
mand lor an allied control coun
cil for Japan. The issue may be
compromised ;in toe near -future:
The brightest spot diplomatic
authorities see in the internation
al situation is evidence of im
proving Russian-American rela
tions. The optimism stems from
the friendly reception accorded
U. S. Ambassador Harriman
when he delivered a personal
message from Mr. Truman to
Generalissimo Stalin last week.
The nature of the message and
of Stalin's reply have not been
disclosed. There was some be
lief in Washington that negotia
tions over policy details, parti
cularly respecting European
peace treaties and the Japanese
control council, are still in pro
gress. However, the main purpose of
the interchange was clearly to
try to strengthen the basis for
present and future cooperation
among the great powers in try
ing to organize a secure world
peace.
House Rejects
Railroad Bill
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (A)
The house rejected 167 to 114
today a compromise bill which
would repeal the land-erant
railroad rates under, which the
government moves freight at
half price over many rail car
riers. .
The vote came . after Rep.
Cochran (D-Mo.) shouted to the
house that if the bill became
law "one of the greatest lobbies
that ever stormed this capltol
can say : 'this is our victory
day.
The legislation was shunted
back to a house-senate confer
ence committee, which will try
to work out : a measure the
house will accept. On two prior
occasions the house has ap
proved similar legislation. But
it would not accept a' compro
mise version written by a senate-house
committee. '
Klamath Man Says Horrors
Of "Death March" All True
"Everything you read about
the "death march" has been an
understatement," said Technical
Sergeant Alonzo Palmer, who
was captured on Bataan and ar
rived home yesterday. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. James A.
Ryan of Klamath Falls.
Ho had a leg injury at the
time, and it took him 16 days to
make the march. He picked up
a medical bag and treated him
self. Palmer was taken to Japan in
September, 1943. Ho was impri
soned on the island of Honshu
about 50 miles north of Tokyo.
. The first free men he saw
were navy boys who had trained
at Klamath Falls, his home town.
They came in planes and landed
at the field near the prison camp.
This was In late August of this
year. By that time, Palmer was
certain the war was over.

IRK ON BILL
By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST '
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (ff)
A measure to fix the size of the
post-war navy comes up In the'
house today to start what may
uc uiio ui itie vnuniuer a ousiesfc
weeks in the waning legislative ,-
year. j
It will be followed by a highly-'
controversial half-billion dollar '
appropriation bill for the United'
Nations relief and rehabilitation'
administration. -
There is no known opposition
to the navy measure,- which ex
presses the "sense of congress"
that the United States should re
tain a two-ocean navy of 1082,
major fighting ships. -.
Purpose
The purpose of such a fleetr
would be "to insure our national
integrity, support our national
policies, guard the continental
United States and our overseas
possessions, give protection . to
our commerce and citizens
abroad, and to cooperate with
other world powers in the main
tenance of peace."
- No new ships are authorized
by the legislation. The post-war
fleet it calls for already is afloat
or under construction. It would
be split into these three groups:
297 maior combat vessels
ready for action; 104 major ships .
in stand-by condition and ready
for- service on 30 days notice;
681 major vessels in a laid-up
reserve and manned only by
caretaker crews.
The 1082 ships in the eritrrt'"
fleet, exclusive of auxiliaries,
would include three large car
riers, ten light carriers, 79 es
cort carriers known as "baby
flat-tops," 18 battleships, three
large cruisers, 31 heavy cruisers,
48 light cruisers, 367 destroyerst
300 escort destroyers and 199
submarines, i s
Smaller Fleet
It would be a smaller fleet
than the United States had on
December .7, 1941, but would be
far superior in speed, firepower
and striking ability.
The UNRRA appropriation is
almost certain to touch off a
lively fight. - Many republicans,
and some democrats, believe the
agencjr set up to help liberated
European nations get back on
their feet has been spending its
money unwisely. ' ?
A reDublican food study com
mittee reported yesterday that
UNRRA's record is "one of in
efficiency, political intrigue, mis
management and downright poor
administration" but said the
agency should have added funds
as it is the only one already
established to give aid to Europe
this winter.
