WASHINGTON, April 16 (AP) Senator Edwin C. JuhiiKon

Oct. IT). It also halts the drafting of teen-age youths.

High School Girl's Dance
Of Salome Brings Blushes
DETROIT, April 16 l) The
case of Lincoln high school's
"Salome," whose scantily-veiled
dunce was the hit of a recent
'teen-agn assembly revue, went
before the school board today.
An estimated 150 of. the 800

assumed "that members of con
gress are dummies and that they
can be awed and influenced by
u mass of distorted mathemat
ics." .Johnson said the house meas
ure would not provide replace
ments for fathers and combat
veterans now in service. He
urged the department to back
his proposal for a six weeks'
extension to July 1
' Johnson said the senate now
must find a way out of the
"muddle" created by the war
department's "arrogant demand"
for a year's extension of selec
tive service.
Muddleheada
"It never seemed to occur to
these muddleheads that a six
weeks' extension could have
been supported by them with
honest calculations, and that all
the jugglers in kingdom come
could not and did not make a
case for year's extension," John
son declared.
The senate military commit
tee previously had rejected
Johnson's proposal for the six
weeks' extension.
Johnson told Patterson the
department ought to "admit its
mistake" and ask congress for
only a limited extension of the
draft.
"The war department ought
to make a mental note now of
I h e thoroughly - demonstrated
tact that it cannot fool congress
all the lime," he declared.
Johnson contended that a six
weeks' extension would provide
sufficient men by July 1 to re
place all drafted fathers, com
bnt veterans who desire to get
out of the army and all draftees
with 18 months' service.
The bill adopted by the sen
ate committee would halt the
future drafting of fathers and
would limit tho service of pres
ent and future inductions to 18
months.
Johnson also assailed what he
described ns the wnr depart
ment's determination to draft
"eighteen-year old boys for po
lice work in foreign lands."
"The welfare of the United
States and its military security
demands that these boys remain
in school, he declared. Every
one understands army officers'
passion for the conscription if
immature, benrdlcss schoolboys,
bu Hint fascists-inspired aspir
ation must be corbel by the
congress in a period when a
shooting war does not exist."
Truman Signs
Petrillo Curb
WASHINGTON, April 16 (AP)
President Truman signed today
legislation making it a federal
offense to use coercion against
radio broadcasters.
Sponsors said the measure is
designed to halt certain prac
tices of the AFL musicians
union headed by James C. Pe
trillo. It carries penalties of up
to a year's imprisonment and
$1000 fine for compelling or
attempting to compel broad
casters to:
1. Hire more employes than
they want.
2. Pay money for services not
performed.
3. Pay unions for the use of
phonograph records.
4. Pay again for broadcasting
a transcript of a previous pro
gram. The same penalties could be
invoked against persons inter
fering with broadcast of cul
tural or cducatlonnl programs
originating in foreign lands.
T h e legislation developed
from nn original attempt by
Senator Vandenberg (K-Mich.)
to override a Petrillo ban
against broadcast of a students
music festival at Intcrloclicn,
Mich.
Petrillo contended the pro
gram took jobs from profes
sional musicians.

Bridges Blocks
Merger Measure
WASHINGTON, April 16 (AP)
A protest by Senator Bridges
(R-N.M.) blocked the senate mil
itury committee's plan to send
the nriny-iiavy merger bill to
a sharply-divided senate today
Bridges told a reporter after
a closed session he objected to
the move because he was "not
satisfied" with the legislation
which would create a single de
partment of common defense.
"It involves," he said, "too
grent n concentration of power
in the hnnds of one man. I be
lieve we can have unity of 'tho
armed forces without too grent
a concentration of authority."
Bridges said Chairman Elbert
Thonins (D-Utah) agreed to an
other session of the committee
to' hear a detailed analysis of
the bill before final action is
tnken. He added that he had
favored open hearings on the
measure but proponents had objected.
terday and today against Rus
sia's proposal that the council
immediately strike the Russian
Iranian case from its agenda.
Russia and Poland stand to
gether for the Russian move.
The eleventh nation on the
council, France, presented this
morning a compromise proposal
designed to have Secretary Gen
eral Trygve's report to the gen
eral assembly which meets here
Sept. 3. This would have the ef
fect of taking the case off the
council's docket.
Doubts Legality
Lie this morning handed the
council a memorandum expres
sing doubt that the council could
legally keep the case on its agen
da. He noted that the council
had not declared a dispute exist
ed, that the governments had an
nounced an agreement and that
Iran had withdrawn the case.
The council referred the Lie
memorandum to its committee
of experts for a report within
two days. This could bring the
matter up again on Thursday.
The council saw a brief recur
rence of the bitterness that
marked its session late yesterday
when the Russian delegate, An
drei A. Gromyko, expressed
"doubt" that the United States
and Britain wanted a peaceful
settlement of the Iranian case.
Not Wise
Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., the
American delegate, told the
council today thai -his - govern
ment still thought it not wise to
drop the Iranian case immediate
ly. Sir Alexander Cadogan, the
British delegate, who said yes
terday that the Iranian case was
before the council again only
because Russia had brought it
up, did not reply again today to
the Russian remarks.
Gromyko closed the discus
sion by telling the council that
he had "called things by their
names yesterday and I did not
expect the delegate of the Unit
ed States to agree."

Stabilization Director Chester

The senate agriculture com

tension eased in Butte, Mont

which officials attributed to a
strike at the Anaconda Copper
Mining company.
Sheriff Al McLeod said volun

storing order in the strike-bound
copper capital of 40,000. He
said representatives of the CIO
international union oi mine,
mill and smelter workers pa
trolled streets last night with
crowds to keep order.
Aimed At Non-Strikers
Officials said the violence
over the weekend, resulting in
wrecking of several homes, was
directed at miners who did not
ioin the strike at the Anaconda
company. Several groups of wo
men and children, who were
threatened by anonymous tele

Crowds gathered last night at

Wartime Ban
On butter, the OPA aimed at
overcoming a situation which
had made it more profitable to
use butterfat for ice cream and
other products than for butter.
Accordingly, the wartime ban
will be restored on the sale of
whipping cream and restrictions
will be placed on the amount of
butterfat in ice cream. The pro
gram also includes price ceilings
for the first time on cream used
in bakery products and ice
cream. Leonard E. Hurtz of
Omaha, chairman of the dairy
industry committee, contended
in a statement that the new pro
gram would lead to a decline in
milk production "and continued
shortages'" of dairy products.
The senate agriculture com
mittee was plainly exercised
about the meat situation which
Packer' James D. Cooney testi
fied was "a national scandal
which makes prohibition loolc

PORTLAND, Ore., April 18
W) A dairy industry spokes

Stabilizer Chester Bowles' milk
subsidy was a "political move"
while State Agriculture Di
rector E. L. Peterson announced
the plan "won't work" because
it will not put cows on the

Peterson reported the state's
dairy cattle census declined in
1945 and is continuing to drop
and questioned whether the
new subsidies would boost pro
duction to meet the rising de
mand for quality milk.
At the same time, W. W.
Henry, spokesman for the big
dairy cooperative association
which led Oregon dairymen in
a recent strike for higher prices,
said the order would force
dairymen to turn milk into
channels where normally the

Meanwhile, women's organi
