Wolcolt is a member of the Joint congressional committee harmonizing differences be tween house and senate OPA bills. The conferees meet at 5 p.' m. in a session which Wol cott said probably will be con clusive. If a deadlock develops on any of the four provisions which re main In dispute, the lawmaker said the decision may be checked directly to tho houso and senate, by reporting disagreement and asking for instructions. The committee has no time to waste, for OPA expires Sunday midnight unless the extension bill is enacted. Although four major disagree ments remain, Die key to the dispute is whether to accept sen ate amendments lifting price ceilings on meat, petroleum and tobacco at tho end of June. House members take the atti tude there is no need to single out specific commodities for spe cial treatment, in view of the decontrol policy already agreed upon. In general, this policy colls for removal of ceilings as soon as the supply of a commod ity exceeds or balances the de mand for it.

The entire ceremony lasted nine minutes. Before Vinson, attired in a dark blue suit, stepped out on to the portico to be sworn in, a navy band played "Pomp and Circumstance."

Numbei 10154 Quake Jars Northwest Coast Area SEATTLE, June 24 (JPh-Walls fell and a hillside walked yester day morning in the Pacific nortnwest wnen a strong earin shock jarred a wedge-shaped piece of the coastal area from Vancouver island to Kilowna in central British Columbia and south to Olympia, Wash. One man died, Jacob L. King ston. 69, succumbing to- heart failure when Seattle's downtown buildings swayed above him as he walked toward church. There were no other reports of deaths or Injuries. The quake knocked the needle from the recorder at the Univer sity of Washington's seismograph at 9:13.30 a. m. (PST) and was recorded at 9:14 by the Domin ion astrophysical observatory in Victoria, B. C. It was noticeable for a full minute to Seattlites, but the university reported its equipment continued to record vibrations for an hour. "It was the most severe in sev eral years," said Dr. J. A. Pearce, director of the Dominion sta tion, estimating its epicenter as near Victoria, probably 25 miles distant. Vancouver Island Damaged From the villages along the east coast of Vancouver island, north of Victoria, came reports of extensive damage to build ings and roads. A 300-foot high hill "walked" 35 feet Closer to the sea at Campbell river and a house moved five feet off its foundations. At Port Alberni the top of a brick-fronted building crashed to the street. At Courtenay a col lapsing chimney smashed through two floors of an ele mentary school into a classroom which, on a week day, would have been occupied by 60 chil dren. One wall collapsed J. ronvl tne courtenay post omce and plate glass show windows ware shattered. Across the Strait of Georgia at Vancouver, B. C, tall build ings swayed crazily and a piece of masonry crashed to the pave ment from the Canadian Nation al railway station, narrowly missing a group of people. A low-pressure gas line snapped and there were several power interruptions. There were several chimney fires and a swing-span bridge was pushed open by the quake. Five hundred families cf war veterans fled from the old Hotel Vancouver.

Sill) Eisenhower Ignorant Of Stalin's Plan Until Four Months Before End Of War WASHINGTON. June 24 () Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower re corded in his final report today as supreme allied commander in Europe that he was kept in the dark about Russia's grand strat egy until four months before V-E doy. Then, however. Marshal Stalin came through with full plans for the red army's final offensive, which became one jaw of a vise that crushed the German war machine "to a degree never be fore experiened in the history of modern armies." Eisenhower's belatedly pub lished 123-page detailed report to the combined chiefs of staff covered the fateful 11 months from D-day in Normondy to the German surrender. It was re leased by the war department, which said only minor 'details were deleted for security rea sons. In it the present army chief of staff recorded briefly his dif ficulties of coordination with the red army while lauding the teamwork of the western allies. The United States and Great Britain, he said, fought as "one nation." Aside from teamwork, Eisen hower concluded that the vic tory was due to allied might and "invincibility of spirit" and to miscalculations by Hitler and Field Marshal Von Rundstedt, the nazi commander in the west. In Eisenhower's Judgment, three battles were decisive in liberating Europe: 1. The battle of the Normandy beaches, where the foe was re Pravda Asserts America Trying For World Rule; MOSCOW, June 24 MP) Pravda declared today that Soviet Russia never will surrender tho veto power In any atomic control plan, and said the United States proposal for control of the weapon "reflects evident striving for world rule."

Hart, eastern-born "wild west" movie actor of a Quarter of a century ago, died late last night of a lingering in firmity which- had called -his son home from Washington, D. C, last month to enter a court fight over the dying man s affairs. The iron-faced hero of many a movie gun battle died peace lully in a hospital. His physi cian. Dr. H. D. Van Fleet, is sued a statement saying "death came without a struggle, just as though he were asleep." Hos pital records gave Hart's age as 83. Movie press agents earlier naa given nis age as o. At the bedside was his son. William S. Hart Jr., who last Thursday was appointed co-i guardian, with George Frost, oi the actor's person. - Hart had been ill frequently during the last five years and his sickness took their toll of his gaunt frame and slender, body. He lived in contentment until his sister Mary, whom he always referred to as "my darling sister," died in 1943. After her death he suffered spells of melancholy which were broken only when old friends occasional ly dropped in. He lived on his 80 acre ranch in Newhall, 30 miles from the scenes of his triumphs in Holly wood, after his retirement in 1925. The 15-room house, white, rambling and in Spanish style, looks like a cluster of mush rooms huddling on a hill. vealed as a stubborn fighter but beset by difficulties of supply and communications resulting largely from the allied hammer ing from the air.

Russian Proposal Lauded 1 The newspaper praised the Russian counter proposal placed Deiore tne security council by Andrei Gromyko calling for prohibition of production and use of atomic bombs that in a few words is the essence of tha Soviet proposal." "The Soviet plan reflects un changing Soviet politics of peace and defense and universal seJ curity," Pravda said, terming Gromyko's suggestion "humane, clear and workable." The Russian proposal has been published conspicuously and textually in Russia. Barucn's American plan never has been, published fully or in its com plete text in the Soviet press. Pravda said the United States government counted on naming; the period, under its own judg ment, during which it will per mit an international agency by successive stages to peep into the secrets of its 'atomic kitch en'." Monopoly for U. 8. "The American plan amounts, as a matter of fact, to clinching the monopoly position of the United States in the production of atomic weapons for an ire definite period," Pravda 'con tinued, "during this period, which will be conditioned by the development or work of an international control organ, the United States Intends to pro duce and store atomic bombs. :" Afterwards the United States" intends by degrees 'by succes sive stages' to share with the international control organ in-, formation about the production;, of atomic energy and permit it to spread -its control." , , : " The communist newspaper said the American proposal was an "extremely perplexed plan" and asserted: "Each point calls forth doubt ful questions and is pregnant with all possible complications." Freeze Strikes Mountain Areas Ice was standing on buckets in mountain areas in these parts Sunday morning when the mer cury dropped to freezing and snow flurries were reported by guests at several of the lake, resorts. The thermometer in--town dropped to' 37 degrees this morning, and Sunday's minimum was chalked up at 40. Maximum Sunday was 56, according to the CAA weatherman. ' i Forecast was for warmer weather and Klamath folks hailed this information with en thusiasm. Stoking furnaces, they agreed, was against the June theory of summer's arrival. Visitors at Crater Lake na tional park reported heavy snow at the rim, sufficient at times to obliterate any view of the lake. It was pretty cold at Diamond lake, fishermen reported, and the angling wasn't much good, anyway. still ignorant of the Russian in tentions, President Roosevelt se cured from Marshal Stalin hrs agreement to receive our repre sentative in order to discuss the correlation of our respective ef forts in -the forthcoming spring." Accordingly Eisenho w e r ' s deputy, Air Chief Marshal Ted der, and others of his staff re ceived from Stalin in January a "full explanation" of the plans for a four-pronged offensive by 150 to 160 red army divisions. Its success proved "even great er than had been anticipated," Eisenhower wrote. His chronicle detailed air and naval as well as ground opera tions, and he acknowledged that "without the overwhelming mas tery of the air our assault against the continent would have been a most hazardous, If not impossible undertaking."
