Atom Talk Lid Makes Senator Mad (Continued from Pag 1) I pointed .tronglytowdmedevel-! osment in the atomic weapon field , in(.m.ti,nl lvl The New York Time said the meeUng dealt with the question of riving to Great Britain technical information on the production of atomic bombs. N Decisions It wa learned later, however, the newspaper added, that no decision were msde during the session unless the president came to some deter mination that he did not disclose. Any decision to give Information to Britain would require an act of congress before It could be carried out. Present law forbids disclosure of atomic lnformauon to other countries. Fact listed Both th area of speculation and the mystery were enhanced by an accumulating number of facts, non of which supplied any defini tive amwers. Among them: 1. That th conference Itself wa never announced officially, but only acknowledged by Mr. Truman at hi pres conference after the new al ready had seeped out 2. That the conference was held in the evening at Blair house, In stead of during the day at the White House. 1. That th White House imposed a "no pictures" ban nd the Whit House pres office declared there w no ttement to be forthcoming. 4. That the usual Jovial Vice President Barkley was grim-faced, and Senator Tydlng wa cryptic to an unusual extent I. That, it waa disclosed even tually, there wa "gentlemen' agreement" tht no one but the president would say anything. Good Potato Market Seen ONTARIO. July IB iPy-A food potato market thl summer wa predicted today by shippers here. Inspector E. H. Siarubery report ed SI cars shipped from Malheur county this week, and predicted tht total season shipments would oumumner isst year net car. On firm has tent out as many potatoes already as it did during the enure yesr of lot. The U. the tin we use from the British, the Bolivians and the Dutch. Brit ain set the price by what It pay the Malavan m nes, and our agree ment with Bolivia is tied in with this price. About 170.000 tons of Un will be mined this year and consumption may not top 131000 tons. The InternaUonal tin study group sayi the surplus will grow in Uie next few years. The Un that the reconstruction finance corporation buys Is sold through the commerce department t o American manufacturers o t cans, solder and bearings. So far, the world surplus I no burden be cause we, and others, are putting it Into strategic stockpiles. The British w ant to keep t h price of their Malayan tin high for ! the obvious reason that thereby they get more dollars to help them balance their dollar area trad books. They would do the same with rubber, probably, except that our large production of synthetic rubber forces down the price of natural rubber in Malaya. Just before the war, tin brought SO rent a pound. In 1U2 it was only 31 cents. In thaw days. Ameri can consumers did their own buy ing, rather than through their gov ernment, but they dealt In large part with foreign cartels thit kept a firm hand on production and prices of Un and rubber. Congress has Just passed, and the president signed, a renewal of U. 8. government control over tin imports and the allocation of tin among domestic users for another 12 months. The government also controls the operation of the big Un smelter at Texas City. Texas. . The British and Bolivian insist the price of Un i not too high. They ssy mining costs have gone up both labor snd machinery 1 higher than prewar. A price cut, they argue, would mean a drop in production. The American tinplat industry is no longer plagued by shortages there is no longer ny mosnlng by food packers about em being allo cated for beer cans. This summer the food pack is likely to be smaller than last. This is due to fstrly large inventories left over frcm last year pack. To move this surplus, canner have trimmed prices. They now y they plan to pay farmers less this year, and to be more choosey In what they buy, since they plan to can leas. The weather, however, could still play hob with their plans. In fact, the drought in the east al ready has restricted eastern can nery activity and sent Calllomlans scurrying to revise upward their quotas for vegetable pacta this summer. In the meantime, the housewife can benefit from the lower prices on canned goods. She can also tell herself that part of her food bill is a contribution to our foreign re lief program through the mainten ance of II 03 Un. B . . kj wiiiiwii,a iuinaj Cs.s. ri(C . Cfnf QI f COOS BAY.
