Question Of

By HOWARD COWK
NEW YORK, April 0 (I')
Tho tusk of determining whether
tho present Spanish regime Is

and what lo do about it
headed today toward an un
certain reception In tho United
Nations security council.
The Polish embassy In Lon
don announced Poland's dele-

to propose that the United Na

(Tho Warsaw radio announced

A check of those delegations

ever, showed them divided over
the question of delving Into the
Spanish question Immediately.
Dr. Oscar Lunge, tho Polish
delegate, was in Washington.
In ltrlllsh circles, where It
was made clear Kriiuco bus no
sympathy, the Spanish question
wus not regarded as an emer
gency such as the Iranian dis
pute. Henri Bonnet, the Krcuch
delegate, said "it's a move
which certainly won't surprise
anybody In France."
Tho French origimilly enter
tained tho Idea of council ac
tion on Spain, but hud decided
to let tho council of foreign
ministers consider It first.
Mexican Support
A spokesman for the Mexi
can delegation said Francisco
Castillo Nujcra still was pledged
to support any move to bring
the full force of the United
Nations against Franco Spain,
Official Russian reaction vas
not available but the Sovlot's
stern attitude toward Franco
was. no secret. It was consid
ered likely that Poland's, decis

by Andrei Gromyko, the Soviet

(In Madrid the Franco gov

fact Romania has broken diplo

relations between the two coun
tries had been suspended "since

OPA Jumps
From Frying
Pan To Fire
WASHINGTON, April 8 ()') The OPA bounced today from
the congressional frying pan Into the fire.
The bill prolonging the price agency's life for a year
beyond June 30 headed toward red hot debate on the house
floor after the banking committee votod far-reaching revisions
and curtailment of its powers.
An OPA spokesman said the committee action. If sustained
by the house and senate, would hike retail prices on automobiles.
refrigerators, radios and many other items, with consumer costs
Increasing by more than half a billion dollars this year.
Nevertheless, congressional friends of OPA said the drubbing
the agency got in the committee was not as bad as they feared.

'Inadequate'

Western pine lumber producers

tending a recent price Increase

Henry C. McOuatters of Flag

It brags that its generous price

McQuutters said western pine
lumber , had had a total price
rise of only 21.11 per cent since

period, he said, the cost of
standing timber has risen as

Geisha GirVs Tip Leads
To Treasure in Tohijo Hay
TOKYO. April 6 (IP) A geisha
girl's tip led today to discovery
of two truckloads of precious
metol Ingots believed worth
30,000,000,000 yen ($2,000,000,-
000) in the mud of Tokyo boy.
An informant said he had been
told by Japanese army officers
the money was to bo used in
building up a greater Japan after
things have quieted down,"
The ingots were located by
Lt. E. V. Nielsen, Stamford,
Conn., on officer in the 32nd
military government company.
Tho original tip came, .Nielsen
said, from a geisha girl. Sho
told a Japanese employed by a
civilian Interpreter for tho mili
tary government that a largo
sum of gold had been dumped
In Tokyo bay.
Nielsen said developments in
dicated her story was a planted
tip.
Investigation showed the nlrl'S
story came from a small social
club composed of elderly , Jap
anese, small shopkeepers and
businessmen.
"Finally," Nielsen said, "one
of the social group told me that
'because the militarists had been
the ruination of Japan we didn't
want them to get hold of the
huge supply of precious metals.'
He said he trusted the Americans
and for that reason would tell
the whereabouts of a laborer
who worked In dumping ingots
into tho bay."
The laborer designated a dock
at a former Japanese maritime
school on tho Tokyo waterfront
now used as a boat slip by U, S.
first cavalry personnel.
Nielsen brought up the first
Ingot, weighing 75 pounds. It
tentatively was Identified by
Bank of Japan officers as plat

"I stripped and went down
into about six feet ot water and
there in threo or four ' feet of
mud I could fool two areas, each
about 20 by 20 foot square, which
scorned to be paved with these
blocks," Nielsen said.
banking committee member,
commented:
"The bill brought out by the
committee is not all that I want
ed, but it is better than I ex
pected In view of tremendous
pressure brought by opponents
oi ui'A. il would result in some
prlco increases, but I do not be
lieve it is a break-through."
The committee brushed aside
the pleas for an early end of
OPA made by the National As
sociation of Manufacturers, the
United States chamber of com
merce and some other business
groups, and followed President
Truman's recommendation that
the agency bo continued for a
full year beyond June 30.
But it wrote into the OPA
extension bill yesterday these
far-reaching revisions:
1. A requirement that OPA
restore the retail profit margins
it has trimmed for a large num
ber of reconversion , items
autos, refrigerators, radios, etc.
This revises the OPA cost ab
sorption policy : which has re
quired retail outlets to bear a
portion of the increased cost of
production by reduction of mark
up or discount murgins.
2. A directive thut price con
trols be liquidated in various
lines as supply comes into bal
ance with demand, with the
gradual decontrol responsibility
assigned directly to President
Truman rather than to OPA.
Subsidy End
3. A provision for early' term
ination of the government's
$2,000,000,000 annual subsidy
program, including payments to
reduce consumer iood costs. This
amendment would slash subsidy
payments in the next fiscal year
by 25 per cent, or $500,000,000,
and require the government to
get out of the subsidy business
by June 30, 1047.
4. A repealer for OPA's max
imum average price policy by
which the agency forces manu
facturers to produce low cost
clothing.
Rep. Outland (D-Calif.), a com-
m ttee member, told newsmen
these amendments "can be in
terpreted as saying but one
thing: 'the consumer be damned."

Chills Not Thrills Result
I' i'om Daij-OUl Kiss Display
By ARTHUR L. EDSON
WASHINGTON, April 8 (IP)
Science lovers peered at a 24-hour-old

It looked awful.
The day-old kiss was part of a
science display at American uni

agar, a gclatlne-like substance,
which provides a cheap thrill at
best. Then the agar agar was
put in an incubator where the
germs in the kiss multiplied for
24 hours, which is no thrill at

Congress Aim
WASHINGTON, April 8 (IP)
Congress reached out today to
plant a finger permanently on
the control switch of any do
mestic machinery governing
future atomic energy develop
ments. A special senate committee
was disclosed to have written
into the legislation it has been
preparing for months a provi
sion for establishing a 14-man
joint senate-house group au
thorized to make a continuing
study of atomic controls and to
sponsor legislation affecting
them.
Members who declined to be
quoted by name said they ex
pected this bi-partisan commit
tee of seven senators and seven
house members to serve as one
of the brakes on the unprece
dcntedly wide powers bestowed
on a civilian atomic . energy
commission under terms of the
bill.
As the measure is now drawn
subject to final action by the
special senate atomic energy
committee next week the
commission could do just about
anything it feels necessary to
advance atomic developments.

"Of course, caillus subtilis

strep-toccoci and staphylococci
are the other common ones. Peo

Mrs. Pat Lanzillotti, another
lab assistant, hastened to say
American university isn't trying
to discourage kissing.
"We just show them the facts,"
she told a reporter, "and let
them draw their own. conclu

Painless Formula Proposed
For ContiiUiing Draft Law
WASHINGTON, April 6 (IP)
The house military committee
flabbergasted the army today
with this painless formula for
continuing the draft extend
the law nine months but ban
induction of anyone becoming
eligihle during that period.
This novel proposal, which
quickly attracted formidable
support, was advanced as the
nation stood by to hear Presi
dent Truman's Army Day ad
dress in Chicago which is ex
pected to carry a renewed ap
peal for straightaway extension
of selective service another
year.
The no-induction measure
was offered by Rep. Harness
(R-Ind.) yesterday as a substi
tute for an army-backed bill
calling lor continuing the draft
under existing ' conditions - for
a year beyond its May 15 expi
ration date, but with service
liability limited to 18 months.
The Harness proposal, as
amended, would require con
tinued registrations under the
selective service act, but limit
inductions after May 15 exclu
sively to those who became eli
gible for service prior to that
date, such as deferred students
and others.
Committee members opposing
the draft promptly lined up be
hind this formula and only a
parliamentary situation pre
vented it coming to a vote at
the session.
The committee put off a de
cision until next Tuesday, and
opponents of the Harness plan
remarked it was just as well.
for they feared they lacked the
votes lo block it yesterday.
Chief Calls
For Strong
U.S. Military
By ERNEST B. VACCARO
CrflCAGO, April ti (fj presi
dent Truman proclaimed today
a "universal" American foreign
policy aimed at stopping "coer
cion and penetration'' of tha
weak and calling lor powerlul
peacetime militaiy reserves.
Climaxing tne nation's great
est Army uay celebration, wit
nessed by an estimated 1,000,000
persons, the president spoke at
Soldier field with General of the
Army Dwight D. Jiisenhower,
chiet of stall, and Secretary of
War Robert . Patterson beside
him.
In the strongest language he
has ever used as Franklin D.
.Roosevelt's successor as de
mocracy's spokesman, the gray
hured Missourian tola tnousands
of his listeners at the field:
"We cannot one day proclaim
our intention to prevent unjust
aggression and oppression in tha
world and the next day call tor
immediate scrapping oi our mil
itary might."
rtenews Appeal
The president renewed his ap
peal for extension of the selective
service act, unification of the
armed forces and a universal
training program and declared
that:
1. One "universal" policy must
guide United States relations
with every country, "no matter
how remote."
2. In return for American
recognition of "important inter
ests'' of Great Britain and Russia
and others in the Orient, these
countries must respect her in
terest in peace ana security in
that area. The United States,
he added, "shall expect them to
pursue" the same peaceful ob
jectives."
Have Higbt
3. The United Nations have a
right to insist that the sov
ereignty and integrity of the
countries of tne near ana miaaie
east where outside rivalries
might "erupt into conflict" must
not be threatened by coercion or
penetration. -
4. The United States hopes
"for the peaceful settlement of
differences which have arisen
between colonial people and
colonial sovereigns in ail areas."
5. The United Nations security
council "is fully capable" of set
tling disputes between any na
tions of the world, however, dif-i
lerent - their philosophies, tradi
tions and interests, if it respects
"the legitimate aspirations and
needs" of fellow members.
6. "The United States intends
to join with the other sovereign
republics of America in a region
al pact to provide a common de
fense against attack."
Using some of the strongest
language he has ever employed
in discussing America's new
global foreign policy, Mr. Tru
man declared its immediate ob
jective "is to support the United
Nations to the utmost."
This country stands ready, he
added, to provide necessary sup
port for a world trade system
to "strengthen and safeguard the
peace."
