25 Years 'Inadequate'
During the cluah between
Dyrne and Molotov over the

Soviet minister described the
suggested pad as "wholly In
adequate" and asserted It did
not insure against the rebirth of
militarism In Germany.
Byrnes retorted that he was
willing to have the treaty run
for 40 years, and that It "did
not seek to cover everything or
to settle reparations questions
ond political questions and
other question that hud been
under discussion."
Byrnes also cited his proposal

Liskey Horses
Go To Europe
One hundred head of stock,
running on the 20,000-acre range
of the Dave and Dan Liske;
Swan Lake ranch, were on their
way this week to Europe where
they will be distributed by
UNRRA to deoletcd farms in
war torn countries.
The horses, along with a num
ber of mules, were brought in
during a two-day round-up last
week by Jack Liskey, Gory Mit
chell, Larry "Buck" Anderson
and Newt Nelson. Of the 153
horses brought in from the hills,
53 were cut out as saddle stock
and turned back on the range.
The 162 mules were also turned
back and will be shipped later
to work in the cotton fields of
the deep south.
Some of the stock, now on
their way to Europe, is from the
original stock which the Llskcys
put on the range some 30 years
ago. Quite a few are broken,
some are wild. For those th"t
were designated for farm work
in the old country, it was their
last round-up. They will work
in the fields of Belgium, Russia,
France and Holland from now
on. Mr. Dan Liskey said ar
rangements for, shipping the
horses from cast coast ports were
made through George Martin
who has been buying for resell
to UNRRA. Nearest shippniR
points arc Baltimore, Md., and
Norfolk, Va. Horses shipped to
Europe will bo used for both
breeding and draft purposes and
will replace the stock which was
removed from occupied countries
during the war. Mrs. Liskey said
the domestic demand was meager
but the demand from Europe
was great.
Draft horses shipped overseas
were mostly of Percheron stock,
and the saddle stock left behind
is a mixture of standard bred
crossed with thoroughbred stal
lion. .

U. S. Refuses To Recognize
Russ Seizures In Austria
VIENNA, July 10 ) The
United States government an
nounced today it would not
recognize the Russian confisca
tion of German properties in
the Soviet zone of Austria
which fell into the category of
forced transfers as defined at
the London conference of Janu
ary, 1943.
At that conference, the allies
agreed that they would not rec
ognize the transfer of proper
ties to German ownership in
German-occupied areas if such
transfers were made forcibly,
even if there was apparent will
ingness on the part of the for
mer owners.
Gen. Mark W. Clark, U. S.
commander in Austria, an

the United States was prepared
to turn over to Austrian trus

the plane crashed against 1200-foot Mount Tom.
Salvage crews summoned to the scene of New England's

them to Holyoke funeral homes.
Five bodies were believed
still in the smoking, charred
wreckage that was spread in
small pieces over the quarter-
mile-square area.
During the morning, many
hours after the crash, the woods

sional bursts of flame kept
army guards busy with port
able extinguishers. Engine na
celles end mangled parts of the

Army officers speculated that
the pilot, possibly unfamiliar
with the terrain, did not ob

too late.
TvDical GI mementos of a

the charred ground.

There were personal snap

Senate Approves

The senate approved today a

The measure now goes to the

Action came on a voice vote

sian interpretation of German
assets in the Russian zone.
The United States' pronounce
ment was certain to have the
heaviest reverberations in Aus
tria, where the red army's sud
den order transferring a large
share of Austria's industrial po
tential to the Soviet Union had
caused consternation. .
The pronouncement conclud
ed with these words:
'The United States govern
ment also wishes to make clear
that it will recognize no physi
cal transfer of property as con
forming to the terms of the
Potsdam agreement which does
not also conform to the terms
of the United Nations' declara
tion on forced transfer of Janu
ary, 1943, and which does not
leave to Austria the sovereign
control ot an independent coun
try over the resources within
its borders, which was envi
sioned in the Moscow declara
tion of 1943."
There was no immediate re
act i o n to the United States
note from the Russians, but
Austrian government sources
exnressed great satisfaction.
Properties claimed by the
Russians represent a large pro
portion of Austrian industrial
capacity and their loss at this
time would be a severe blow to
the Austrian economy.

session tonight if there seemed
any chance the legislation to re
store OPA and some of its pow
ers could be shoved to a final
vote tomorrow.
J On the 10th day of no OPA
operations, Barkley argued that
speed is important if any price
and rent controls are to be re
stored. :
The senate worked in the
shadow of a possible second ve
to of an OPA extender. A bi
partisan majority was set to ban
any future price ceilings on
milk, butter and cheese.
Milk Prices
Go Up Here
Milk prices rose from 15 to
17 cents per quart here this
morning. The price raise is nec
essary to take care of govern
ment subsidies which are no
longer in effect, dairymen say.
Commercial or coffee cream
prices rose to 37 cents a pint
and 71 a quart. Three months
ago prices on the same product
were 27 cents per pint and 60
per quart.
One Klamath dairyman ex
plained the price hike in sim
plest terms saying that the con
sumer is now paying the full
price for his milk, absorbing tho
government subsidy which went
off with the death of the OPA.
A maze of conflicting orders
leaves ine wnipping cream situ
ation in a state of confusion to
day. One local dairy here re
ports receiving a department of
agriculture order to withhold
sale of the cream as of July 1.
Following the order the dairy
took whipping cream off the
market until the OPA went out
of existence and there was no
enforcing agency left to handle
the order. Today the dairy
again had its whipping cream on
the shelves of local stores.
Other local creameries say
that they have never received
such. an order and have contin
ued to sell whipping cream,
which is on the markets at a
retail price of 27. cents a, half
pint and 50 cents a pint.
