Russ Adamant
VIENNA, July 20 (VP) An
Austrian source said today the
Soviet command had rejected
the western allies' definitions of
scizablc German assets in east
ern Austria and claimed as her
own for reparations virtually
everything which passed into
German hands before or after
the 1938 anschluss.
Property which formerly be
longed to citizens of neutral or
United Nations countries was
included, this informant said.
The Soviet definition made
exceptions for cases in which
it could be proved by docu
mentary evidence that the Ger
man had acquired property or
assets by violence or without
paying a reasonable price, it
was added.
The text of the new Soviet
definition was reported sent as
a letter from Russian Deputy
Commander Tsinicv to Austrian
Chancellor Leopold Figl early
this week. Austria, which Is
known to regard all but the
first point (A) under tlie seven
point Russian definition as un
acceptable, is expected to reply
to the note next weekend.

Iraie Housewives Lament

By LOIS STEWART ,
Irate housewives were buzz
ing like hornets around thenars
of helpless grocery store clerks
and .managers as the canning
season reached a peak and re
strictions on sugar buying made
it impbssiblc for cooks to store
up the usual ample supply of
jams, jellies and canned fruits
for winter use.
Grocers patiently explained
they had nothing to do with the
sugar shortage and traced the
history of sugar rationing
which did not go out with OPA
inasmuch as it comes under the
second war power act and falls
directly under the department
of agriculture.
But. to the credit of the store
keepers, nn effort is being made
to have the sugar allotments in
creased to 10 pounds per per

worth of apricots, added a
precious 18-cent can of pine
apple, a few pounds of sugar
and turned out close to 15 pints
of jam for a little over 10 cents
a pint. More of this canning,
and consumption of a great deal
more iruit, could be accom
plished if the boys who hang
on to the sugar sack strings will
let go.
Most annoying answer given
the housewife as to why there
Isn't more sugar was this one:
"They're afraid, if they let
loose of sugar, that the bootleg
gers and moonshiners will get
hold of it and have a hey-day!"
And most housewives snorted
that they weren't interested in
liquor, what they wanted was
jam and jelly for the kids
Admittedly, warehouses are
bulging with sugar and be
cause most housewives are in
terested in only getting sugar in
the bowl and the preserving
kettle, they don't give a whoop
for the excuses offered by the
government. However, a re
cent story In a national weekly
which advised that warehouses
were crammed to overflowing
nnd that growers were advised
there was no room to store the
new crop, cane or beet, is the
sort of a story, true or false,
that doesn't go well. .
Grocers continue on allot
ment as well' as the individual
consumer and it is not altogeth
er fair to rib the man behind
the counter who has had a bad
enough time of it during the

would be a better place to let
off the steam.

World Court
Meets Delay
- 'WASHINGTON. July "20 0F)
As a result of a series of sur
prise amendments proposed by
John Foster Dulles the senate
may defer until next year any
action on American adherence
to the new world court.
Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich.)
said Dulles had suggested in a
letter to the foreign relations
committee several highly tech
nical amendments which Van
denberg said went to the core
of "important questions."
Dulles, who was foreign af
fairs advisor to Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey in the 1944 presi
dential campaign, has served
as an adviser at Big Four for
eign ministers conferences and
was named by President Tru
man as an alternate American
delegate to the September . 25
meeting of the United Nations
assembly in New York.
Previously, Undersecretary of
State Dean O. Acheson had
testified before the foreign re
lations group that "the presi
dent and the secretary of state
have carefully weighed the pro
posal . . . and have recom
mended that the United States
should deposit its declaration
and accept the jurisdiction of
the court."

Uncertain future or not, OPA

there was no assurance when

At the same time this of

Arnold Sees Polar Regions
As Avenue Of Next Attack
LOS ANGELES, July 20 (P
Gen. H. H. Arnold, wartime chief
of the army air forces, says he
believes any future blow against
the United States "will come
from across the polar regions,
not by way of the seas."
Predicting future atomic bombs
"may well be 1000 times as de
structive as those exploded over
Japan, Gen. Arnold in a press
conference yesterday, countered
an inquiry as to whether the U. S.
could know if any other nation
were secretly building atomic
bombs with this question:
"Who knows what's going on
deep Inside Russia?"
Later, in a speech before the
Institute of Aeronautical Sci

WASHINGTON. Julv 20 iP
The house p a s e d a much
amended atomic energy control
bill today, sendine it to a sen
ate-house conference for adjust
ment 01 ainerences between tha
two chambers. .
Passage followed almost five
days of debate during which
me senates control bill was
changed by a long list of
amendments.
Major house changes nrovid-
ed for military representation .
on the proposed five -member
atomic energy control commis
sion; for a military man at the
head of the military application
division; for authority for the
armed forces to make atomic
bombs under certain conditions, .'
and for the death penalty for
tne most serious violations.
A short time before the house
rejected a move to pigeon-hole
the control bill until next year
by a vote of 195 to 46.
Loyalty Check
The house shouted into the
legislation today an amendment
requiring an FBI loyalty check
for all persons connected in any
way with atomic energy devel
opment. .
The amendment, proposed by
Rep. Dondero (R-Mich.), was ap
proved by a thunderous voicd
vote amid fresh demands that
the entire bill be sent back to
the military committee for fur-tbCTKStudyr-
-
" Dondero 's amendment " would'
require the FBI to apply a loy
alty check to "persons associate
ed in any capacity with the de
velopment and control" of
atomic energy under the pro
posed five-member atomic en
ergy control commission.
Its adoption followed a dec
laration by Rep. Rankin (D
Miss.) that communists "are
packed into every department
of this government" and the
committee on un-American ac
tivities "know about it."
'They are packed into the
war department," Rankin said,
and accused congress of not
having "been on the job."
"The first thing you know
our people will be blown to
pieces by this atomic bomb,"
he added.
Chinese State
Marines Freed
MUKDEN, July 20 (IP) Na
tionalist sources here reported
unofficially today that seven
United States marines who were
captured by an armed band near
Chinwangtao a week ago had
been released by "communists."
Yesterday at Peiping, marine
headquarters called off a search
by two regiments of air-supported
marines in the Chinwangtao
area to permit negotiations for
release of the men by a truce
team.
The marines did not, however,
identify the captors as commu
nists. The men were taken prisoner
by armed Chinese when they
went to a village north of Chin
wangtao to purchase rice.
Nationalists said the band con
sisted of 200 "communists."
Nationalist sources immediate
ly charged that communists had
seized the Americans, and gov
ernment troops assisted in the
search.

"There is a real possibility of

that its centrifugal force bal
ances the attraction of gravity.
I am told this velocity is of the
order of 26,000 feet per second
but five times that already at
tained by the V-2 (German rocket
bomb)".
Arnold urged "complete inte

with air power granted "a place
in its own right beside our
ground and sea forces" and a
"federalization" of military and
civilian resources to continue
gains in science and industry
