Wallace Flays Atom Decision WASHINGTON. March 13 (P) Tho issue of national safety gave the armed forces the decision today in an important prelim inary test on postwar control of atomic energy. Tho decision was hit immedi ately by Secretary of Commerce Wallace, who saw In it "the potentiality of delivering us into tho hands of military fascism in this nation." Senator Vandenbcrg (R-Mlch.), however, held that "military reg ulation" is necessary until stabi lized international control is de veloped effectively to prohibit the use of atomic energy for military purposes by anybody at any time." The test developed when the special senate atomic committee voted slx-to-one yesterday to in corporate Into pending legisla tion a provision giving a presi- dontlally-a p p o 1 n t o d military liaison committee a right to in tervene before a civilian atomic control commission of five. Wallnce declared this was a vote "to place the control of atomic energy, in effect, in the hands of the military." He called it an "exceedingly unfortunate development." Herald mfa Telephone 8111 - ' PRICE FIVE CENTS KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1946 Number 10767 1 APPRfl 1 Milk Strike Will Start On Saturday PORTLAND, Or., March 13 W) Mayor Earl RiUy took i hand today in tht "milk itrik which threaten! to halt most de liveries to retail , stores ' and homes in northwest Oregon and southwest Washington Saturday. The mayor proposed that the iate milk control board arbi trate the dispute, and that pro ducers continue supplying milk pending arbitration. Bottled milk in stores and on front porches in Klamath Falls will disappear Saturday evening at 6 o'clock, unless the OPA re lents in its attitude toward milk price controls in the Klamath basin, a spokesman for the Dairy producers association said to, day. Producers and distributors met this morning to draw up fi nal plans lor diversion 01 whole milk from bottling to 'sweet cream shipment to Los Angeles. The dairymen will bring in their milk Friday morning , as usual. That milk will be bottled and delivered that day - and small amount may be left over for delivery Saturday. But whole milk brought in Saturday will go for shipment. Only Chance The only chance of averting the strike, dairymen say, is for the Portland OPA office to come through with an offer acceptable to the milk producers. Present celling price for butterlat in whole milk is 85 cents a pound and the producers are asking $1.15. Portland operators are getting 95 cents now and will stop that city's milk supply March 15 if the price is not upped to si. 15, Dairymen here are in contact witn the Portland producers and are standing by decisions made there. . Actually, less than half the whole milk bottled here is pro duccd in the valley, but after Friday the bottlers will not brine in any more mtlk from outsido this area to Klamath Falls. Diverting the supply to sweet cream shipment, dairymen say. will bring them no financial loss over the present ' setup. The ac tual cash returns may be a little less but expenses will be cut by not having to conform to strict grade A milk regulations. There is no ceiling on sweet cream. The OPA thus far has been re luctant to make any definite commitment con cerninj the milk situation. The . price boost asked for would probably raise the retail price of milk from 14 to lu cents a quart. WEATHER March 13 Max.

"The Japanese researchers had technical horizons as great as our own but they were unable to coordinate production with their findings," Dunning said. In one laboratory, the Nipponese were making oil from rubber, exactly reversing a rubber from oil pro cess developed in the United States. 1 Dunning said Germany gave little help to the Japanese navy and most of tho information ar rived too late to benefit tho Jap anese. There were no records, Dunning added, that' the Jap anese ever received any assist ance from Russia.

Stalin Says Churchill's f Speech Contained 'Lies' LONDON, March 13 (P) The Moscow radio said tonight Gen eralissimo Stalin had told a Pravda reporter that Winston Churchill's speech in Fulton, Mo., was "very dangerous" and contained "lies" about Warsaw, Belgrade, Bucharest and Buda- nest.'.' Stalin said the soviet union had lost 7,000,000 men which he asserted was more tnan Britain and the United States combined. The broadcast, recorded in London by The Associated Press, Extension Of Draft Favored WASHINGTON. March 13 ffl Secretary of War Robert P. Pat terson advocated extension of the draft law today at a closed meeting of the house military committee; Patterson was one of four wit nesses heard by tne -committee in a discussion or tne military needs 'of the United States and the world situation generally. The. others were secretary ot State James F. Byrnes, General of the; Army Dwight D. Eisen hnwer.'armv chief of staff, and General Carl Spaatz, head of the army air forces. . What Byrnes discussed, com mittee members declined to say, other than that he talked about the world situation generally. Patterson told the committee he saw "no assurance of meeting the obligations assigned to the army, without, a continuance of selective service." The selective service act ex- plres-May 15 unless renewed by congress. Legislation extending it for six 'months has been intro duced by Chairman May (D-Ky.j. Murder Case ; Goes To Jury PORTLAND. March 13 (P)-r The jury In the first degree mur der trial of Lawrence R. Oglevie, 30, began its deliberations at noon today. ' ' . The murder charge grew out of the slaying of Deputy Sheriff Al Bowe last November 15 when the officer halted a car contain ing Oglevie and John IS. Drew, 25, fleeing the scene of a tavern holdup. Drew was convicted of having fired the fatal shot and was sen tenced to life imprisonment. Oelevie's ; attorneys in their closing argument today contend ed that tho holdup was complet ed at the time of the shooting and tho latter crime was there fore not first degree murder. said Stalin described Churchill's claim that the present Polish government was under Russian influence as "again a large lie on the part of Churchill." "Churchill is disappointed that Poland has chosen the new road instead of following the road that Churchill likes and in stead took the road of closer re lations with the USSR," the broadcast quoted Stalin as say ing. - . The broadcast quoted- Stalin as saying that Churchill, was calling the people to war against the USSR while at the same time offering the Soviet Union a treaty of friendship for 50 years. "A treaty of this kind is noth ing more than a piece of paper of no value," the Moscow broad cast quoted the Soviets leader. Stalin said the German inva sion of Russia was made possible only because of ' the existence then of neighboring govern ments hostile - to, the .Sqviet union.

Coggeshall Reports On Progress Arriving in Untied States By The Associated Press' Frank L. Miller, T5 Tule loke, arrived : on Admiral Hughes due in San Francisco March 11. ' Robert Snider, PFC New Pine Creek, arrived- on Ad miral Hughes ' due in '- San Francisco March 11. Another step toward possible use of the Klamath Marine Bar racks as an educational center was taken yesterday afternoon when the state board of higher education voted to ask the war assets corporation to appraise the plant. , The action was taken after i-apt. Lowell T. Coggeshall. Bar. racks medical chief, made a re port to tne board on the progress of his efforts in Washington to clear the project through various governmental agencies involved. Capt. Coggeshall said here to day that the purpose of the ap praisal will be to determine what facilities and -equipment would be needed for worthy purposes by: the state of Oregon. ' Authority He said the war assets corpora tion has authority to turn the plant over to the state for the educational program which has been proposed for the Barracks, the eauiDment. s u n n 1 i p c anH other facilities to be used specifi cally ior , tnis purpose. . Under this. arrangement, a co-educational educational center could be set up, with both veterans and non-service students attending. If, after the educational emerg ency has passed and the state wishes to make some other use of - the plant, Hhe transaction could be re-negotiated. ; .' Project Favored Capt. Coggeshall said he found enthusiasm, and favor in Wash ington lor the proDosed Oreeon project, designed primarily to help solve the veteran education problem in the state. It was necessary, however, to clear through several agencies, and the governmental authorities were careful not to establish any precedents' with respect to the Oregon institution which they would not want to follow in other states. . . A hopeful development, he said, is the DroDosal of a con gressional measure which would set aside a large sum of money to De useo in conversion housing of facilities in the states for- vet eran education. This might elim inate the housing conversion cost for the state of Oregon at the Barracks. A representative of the federal department of education is ex pected here to-study the state's proposed education program at the installation on the hill. KF Lumberman Raps Subsidies WASHINGTON. March 13 (ff) Irving Kesterson, Klamath Falls, Ore., said he was glad the house had rejected administration pro posals for $600,000,000 subsidies for building materials. Kesterson told the senate ag riculture sub-committee investi gating shortages of lumber that lumlber producers do not want a subsidy, but "want the right to do business." CD lakes 18.5 Ceinf Pay Hike DETROIT, March 13 (AP) An agreement for an 18Vi cents an hour (16.S per cent) wage rate increase and the creation of an "equalization" fund, brought an end today t the 113-day-old General Motors strike. Accepting the 1814 cents an hour offer of the manage ment, the CIO United Auto Workers said in a statement that the "equalization" fund meets the union's 19'z cents an hour demand, which was the amount recommended by Presi dent Truman's fact-finding commission. Settlement of the strike means an early return to work of 175,000 GM production workers in 92 plants throughout the country. Just when the plants will be reopened was not immediately disclosed. UAW Vice President Walter. P. Reuther said the men could start back some time next week. Management did not comment immediately on this statement. uenerai Motors said the con-T- tract to be signed with the union would run for two years, Vice President Harry W. An derson said he assumed this would be two years from the date of ratification. Of the wages, General Motors said a flat . wage increase of 18 hi cents an hour would be applied to all wage classifica tion . rates effective as of the date of. ratification of the agree ment. Get Increase All employes who worked between1 November 7, 1945, two- weeks before the strike was called, and the date of ratifica tion shall receive an increase of 13 Vi cents an hour for all hours worked between those dates. This is the only retroactive feature in the agreement. The settlement was achieved after an unprecedented negotia tion meeting between union and corporation- which lasted 17 continuous hours after - having begun last night. & , , : The union; said the ' peace terms with General Motors sur passed the "economic and non economic terms" recommended by President Truman and his fact-finding board and "tops the tremendous wage victories already won. throughout , the automobile industry." - These victories, the . union said, -were a result of the "cam paign spearheaded by the cour ageous, and determined strike of the General Motors work ers." ' Union headquarters here, in its announcement, declared it and the top GM negotiating committee "shall heartily rec ommend" acceptance of the terms to the national GM con ference of local delegates to be convened here Friday. In view of this ratification was regarded as certain. General Motors previously had said that it probably would be in position to place, all the 175,000 workers back on the job within a week or 10 days of ratification., Truman-Byrnes . Talk Red Issues WASHINGTON, March 13 (IP) President Truman today called in Secretary of State Byrnes for a review of the foreign situation, and the White House termed mostly unaccurate a number of British reports dealing with pur ported new United States moves in international affairs. The specific points set down for the Truman-Byrnes conver sation were not disclosed, but presumably they will encompass the Russia moves in Iran and Manchuria and the American protests against the Soviet ac tion. ' . Italy Seeks Admission To World Bank, Monetary Fund ., SAVANNAH, Ga., March 13 (A?) Italy has asked admission to the world bank and mone tary fund, .it was learned today, and the .United States plans to support her bid for early entry. Fred M.; Vinson, chairman of the board of governors of the international monetary confer ence of Wilmington island, in formed - the membership com mittee of the Italian request yesterday, a U. S. delegate re vealed. .;. .. : -The secretary of the treasury, however, did not make . clear whether the application was a formal - or informal one, this delegate said, No peace treaty has been signed with Italy,.; Vinson himself declined to discuss, the matter, referring questioners to members of the state department - group - attend ing the 35-nation monetary con ference here. A majority of the United States group favors opening the doors to Italy, the other dele gate told a reporter, on the theory that her economic plight is so grave that her rehabilita tion is a worldwide responsibili ty. Opponents of this view hold that the self-same economic dis tress makes it unlikely the Italians could meet their re sponsibilities that is, repay their borrowings from the $9,100,000,000 bank and $8,800, 000,000 monetary fund and should for the present, remain a relief recipient. C In the background is the ob vious consideration that , if Italy's economic future is shaky, this country would like other nations to share the liability for any of her defaults. , ... .- later, Red Troops Close In On Tehran By JOSEPH GOODWIN TEHRAN, Iran, March 13 (JP) Russian combat troops in full campaign kit were declared by British and , other official sources today to .have closed within -20 miles of this capital and . to be moving southwest across - northern Iran close - to the borders of Turkey and oil rich Iraq. - The reportscaused Secretary of State James F.
