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."

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.

he saw "no assurance of meeting

Murder Case ;
Goes To Jury
PORTLAND. March 13 (P)-r
The jury In the first degree mur

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

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.

department of education is ex

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.,

President Truman today called

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

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

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,
