Roger Tubby, assistant presiden tial press secretory, called In re porters nearly three hours after Truman's news conference state ment to give them a clarification. Tubby said Truman did not send n note to Stalin that led to the Russian evacuation, and that the President had been speaking in layman's language. Tubby added: "On March 6. 1946. s note wss sent from the U. 8. government to tne soviet government maxing our position perfectly - plain with re spect lo the situation In Iran. This note was published on March 7. As you probably recall, the Rus sians withdrew - their troops from Iran, In May. 1946." Tubby was a press officer In the Slate Department before he was attached to Uie White House. There appeared to be reasons for reporters to infer that Uie State Department had been disturbed by the President's remarks. To diplomats, the term "ultima tum Is the last word. It means telling some one your position In an "or-else-we-go-to-war" fashion. The. President had told reporters he was ready to back up his ultt. ms'tim -wlth American troops end 1 ships. ' Truman lifted veil of secrecy to give his versions of this and other International Incidents In a news conference discussion in which he emphasized: (1) The gravity of the world emergency of recent years. I2 The great inherent powers he feels he bas as President to deal with It, and 131 The necessity for the United States to have strong armed forces. Steel Battle Back in Court By The Associated Press The fight over government con trol of the steel Industry shifted back to a federal court Thursday. A new strike of employes of Uie Western Electric Company was threatened while efforts were re newed to settle another that has been In effect for 18 days. Attorneys for leading steel firms sought a preliminary injunction from Judge David A. Pine in Wash ington In a move to force the gov ernment to rurrender Uie mills it seised April 8. An attorney for U.S. Steel Corp., biggest of the steel companies, ac cused the government of trying to "foist on management" wage in creases for the CIO Steclworkers Union. The attorncv. Theodore Klendl. said the govcrnmen; Is not "trying to preserve production of steel." He asked Judso Pine to 'issue a temporary Ir.lunction thnt would forbid Secretary of Commerce Snwyer from taking any steps to carry out Truman's sel?.ure order. Klendl told the court the damage would oc "almost incalculable" If Sawyer puts Into effect the wage nnd union ship recommendations mndc by tho Wbro Stabilisation Board.

' Some new' seedlngs in pasture, hay and clover are having a rough time fighting concrete-like earth anil lack or moisture in getting off to a start. In other areas there are pastures that are still under water. Due to the Past winter's snow pack. County Agent J. D. Vertrees reports some soils have built up hard crusts in thicknesses varying from soil to soU. Not many Inches below, however, mere's so- much moisture that the soU is almost unworkable. The Bureau of Reclamation re ports it turned water Into the "A" canal Tuesday, and because of pos sible weaknesses in dikes it will probably take about a week to fill the system. Only about 90 second feet was being let into the canal this morn incr Another 100 second feet start ed into Uie system from Clear Lake for a 24-hour run this morning, and 200 feet is being let from Gerber reservoir.

Fellow-rebels were stationed Just outside the door, ar.d as each man emerged they searched him for possible hidden weapons. ' JACKSON, Mich. I Tense and tired Southern Michigan pris on convicts agreed Thursday to end their riotous five-day revolt, but several hours later were reported still battling among themselves. A tough young prisoner who bolt ed the convict stronghold cell block 1 hostage guard was re reported fist-fighting and among nearly 200 inmates Moore, 26, also told pris 1 of a verbal battle over J" two top men Earl ward and "Crazy But M Wednesday night's report of a major clash between ttiA torn nn o inct a mihlltttu trao" the two was "just a publicity gag and Ward still held Uie upper hand.

Mermen Williams ana prison heads gave in early Thurs day to the prisoners' reform de mands and threw in a steak dinner besides. Moore told Frisbie the surrender ending the mutiny that cost 82.000.- 000 and the life of one prisoner "will come by Friday noon and could come anytime." Moore dashed from the cell block with his hands in the air as the big steel doors swung open to free 34-year-old Guard James Akins, in a state of nervous collapse after long days as a hostage.

Douglas McKay's decision to let Oregon remain on standard time is going to throw Klnmath Falls' entire economy out of kilter for the summer, the Klamah Mer chants Association said today in protesting the governor's action. But Gov. McKay said he has no Intention of changing his mind, ac cording to the Associated Press. A lengthy telegram addressed to McKay by the Merchants' exeou Uve board this morning asked the governor to reconsider his decision . and to put Oregon on daylight time, citing the close economlo ties of Klamath Falls with Northern Call fornla, which will go on daylight time this weekend. HANDS OFF Yesterday the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce declined to enter into the time squabble, con cluding that It is something the chamber would do well to steer clear of. There Is a possibility that the Klamath Falls City Council may bring up Uie daylight time subject next Monday night, and the Council could declare a time change tor city business, an unofficial day light time. Other cities In the county could do likewise, but Ed Gowen, County Commissioner, said that County business would con tinue to be transacted on standard time if the governor doesn't make a change. Railroads and air lines will con tinue t operate on standard time, and rural areas generally favor standard time. , COUNTY SPLIT Two years ago Klamath County was split up over the issue when daylight Ume was a matter for local option. But a measure passed by the voters In 1950 gave the governor power to declare whether Uie state is on daylight or standard time, and to make a change when It appeared that Oregon would be put at a disadvantage. California has daylight time by state law. The Portland City Council yester day voted to let Its employes shift their schedules to a daylight tune basis for the summer, but didn't oltlclally proclaim daylight time for Portland, which the law prob ably would prohibit. utner cities may follow suit. ' The Oregon Broadcasters As sociation wants daylight time be cause the major radio networks shift to that schedule. WAITING At Rosebuurg. merchants pro tested to McKay, but said they wouldn't do anything on their own untU Uie governor has a chance to reconsider his standard time decision. - 1 The Klamath. Merchants Associ ation ExecuUve Board this morning likewise decided not to take any action for the time., being. There had been talk of Just changing store hours to open and close an hour earlier for the summer. . The telegram to McKay declared that all retaU. industrial, com mercial and municipal organiz ations of Klamath Falls would incur 'substantial additional expense in serving the public'' if daylight time is not adopted. Tne Merchants Association also told McKay it had not announced its approval of daylight time earlier because it had been assumed that daylight time would be put Into effect. . 1 RFC's Death Decree Nixed WASHINGTON U The Recon struction Finance Corporation (RFC) was sentenced to death in Uie Senate Wednesday and then promptly reprieved. .
