to see eye to eye on many
points, he said that Soviet For

Yalta to prove that President
Roosevelt promised $10,000,
000.000 In reparations to Rus

continued, "quotes Yalta to

nothing of the sort."

Byrnes said in his speech
that orders giving Russia choice
between cooperation or "eco

will go forward this week to
Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, mili
tary commander at Frankfurt.
The orders will be to cooper

France and Russia on finance,
transportation, communication,
trade and industry.
In a radio report to the
American people on successes
and failures of the four-power

Youth Escapes
Death At Lake
Ray B. K n a p p, 17-year-old
Grants Pass youth, escaped
death or serious injury Sunday
when he lost his footing on the
hard packed, icy snow lining
the crater wall at Crater lake,
down which the trail to the
shore of the lake switches back
and forth.
Knapp, reaching the second
switchback across the snow
field Just below the rim of the
crater, decided to take a short
cut to the water over the snow
slide which slopes only 30 de
grees from the vertical to the
water below, according to the
rangers. The short cut proved
exceedingly short, both in dis
tance and time, as Knapp took
only a few steps when his feet
went out from under him and
he became a human toboggan.
In describing the young man's
fall, park service employes said:
"Down, down he slid with
ever increasing speed. A large
rock loomed up through the
snow ahead. Unable to bypass
it, he plowed feet first Into the
rock. The collision catapulted

The house today passed a bill
authorizing the army to increase
the number of commissioned of
ficers in the regular army from
23.000 to 50,000.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,

contemplated increase would be
allocated to the air forces. The

Truman OK's
19-29 Draft
WASHINGTON, July 16 P)
President Truman today ap
proved a selective service rec
ommendation that men from 19
through 29 be deemed "accep
table" for drafting.
The minimum of 19 is in line
with recently enacted legisla
tion which forbada the drafting
of 18-year-o!ni.
The top of 29, however, is
several years higher than the
age beyond which the armed
services have been desirous of
going. Few, if any, men over
26 have been drafted since V-J
Day.
At the same time, the 29
year age is far below the maxi
mum now permitted by law
through 44. (The law exempts
all fathers).
Congress has been told by
army officials that the army
plans no draft calls during July
and August, relying instead on
volunteers.
The war department said Sat
urday that it may be necessary
in the future "to consider the
induction of men through age
35" but it had not recommend
ed doing this. The statement
followed reports from an offi
cial close to draft policy that
he understood such a recom

made.

Glick declared in a statement:
"After taxes and renegotia

WASHINGTON, July 16 (P)
By a voto of 211 to 64, the house
today rejected the senate OPA
bill and sent lt to a house-senate
conference committee for a new
effort to write a compromise
price control measure that Presi

The vote was a victory for the

what OPA will look like, if In

finally runs the gamut of the leg
