The Russians have been insisting on a Big Four session lo take up the unification of Germany and the preparation of a German peace treaty. In previous notes, the Western powers have lnsirfed that prior to a discussion of those fundamental problems the four natloas should agree upon a United Nations' or other "Impartial" Investigation of the opportunity for free elections throughout, pastern, and Westscp Germany. K - - , 1 When work on the projected new Western note started, WashlngUm, Paris and London reviewed their positions and came up with sug gestions as to what they should tell the Russians this lime. The French have been reported favoring an offer to meet with the Russians at an early date provided the conference would be limited lo the conditions for holding free elections In Oermany and the cir cumstances In which the unuica lion would be effected. INDICATIONS There have been some Indica tions that Ihe British also would be willing to make such a proposi tion but tlie United States has been represented as not favoring a meeting until agreement Is reached with Russia on making an impartial inquiry into political conditions throughout Germany. British Anibnsnador Sir Oliver Franks and French Anibnssndor Henri Bonnet conferred with Ach eson late Thursday. They conceded the problem of drafting a note to the Russians had been discussed but that was about all they would say.

"that damage was held down More Frost Hits Basin Klamath farmers who worry about frost and politics were wor rying more about the frost for the second straight day today. Freezing temperatures scattered frosl throughout the Basin during Ihe night, in some spots knocking down potato fields which hadn't peon hit earllen A The temperature in ddwntown Kltfmatli Falls was recorded at 37 degrees, while the CAA thermom eter measured 31 degrees. Potato fields In many localities were black and shriveled from the cold, and there may have been a little damage done to other crops. I Local agricultural experts said, however, much downed grain and alfalfa had been dropped by high winds enrlicr this week and the heavy rain-logged snow tnai pre- ceded the frost. There was little doubt that most fields would come back, though it was agreed there would be a con siderable set back In potato plants. Some late-planting farmers who had yet to see their spuds come up were patting themselves on the back. There was some. damage In clo ver reported. Blossoms which eventually would have produced seed were frozen in some spots, and will never develop further. One farmer estimated he will lose about 1Q0 pounds of alsike seed lo Uie acre because of the two days of frost. Had frosts come 10 days or so ! inter, ihc wiuikj ne"a ported even more extensive and complete damage would have been caused. The weather bureau In PorUand forecast another local frost for to night, with a Klamath Falls low of 35 degrees predicted.

House Okays Money Bill WASHINGTON Wl ' The House sent to the Senate Friday the administration's first regular mon ey authorization bill to pass this j session without being cut drasu- cally The measure, authorizing 2, 758.318.000 for worldwide military programs next year, was passed by the House Thursday on a 332 to 7 roll call vote. The actual ap propriations will be voted later. Administration requests were cut $19,434,000 by the Armed Services Committee but no further effort was made on the floor to propose heavier reductions. The committee also eliminated 250 mllion dollars earmarked as the American share of European airfields for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. But this was done to get the item Included in foreign aid funds. The committee said the fields are essential. The House previously cut thi haic, hitrirot Kv mw in ner cent and the foreign aid bill by more than 20 per cent.

No. 2844 Taft Next Keystone Visitor By The Associated Press Pennnsylvanla's 70 Republicans convention votes, a keystone In tne party's selection of a presiden tial nominee, had a picnic date Friday with one top contender and a tentative appointment with the other. ' Gen. Dwight Eisenhower olaved host to the Pennsylvania delegates at his 189-acre farm near Gettys burg. Pa. The general's chief ri val for the GOP nrlze. Sen. Rob ert Taft of Ohio, will confer with them later, time and place as yet unannounced. MEETING .-. Eisenhower's shirt-sleeve outing was his first lace-to-face meeting with most of the Pennsylvania del egates. It follows a pattern he set in New York parleys this week: Offering himself for questions on campaign issues in hopes replies would cement pro-Etsenhower allgnmens and win over the others. Taft has turned his full attention Frlfay to Delaware's 12-member GOP delegation at a farm near Wilmington. His plans call for a pre-convention swing through the Middle Atlantic states, with visits to delegations- In Virginia and Mary land as well as Pennsylvania. With tlie convention about three weeks off July 7 at Chicago neither Taft'nor Elsenhower has Uie required 604-vote majority-sewed up. . . TABULATION The Associated Press tabulation, pegged to avowed and conceded preferences, shows: Taft 464. Ei senhower 392. Democrats. meanwhUe. add a few .more delegates to their July 21 Chicago convention list today 16 in Connecticut and a 22-vote group In Arkansas. The Arkansas Democratic com mittee directed the state's 22 votes be cast for "favorite son" Sen. J. William Fulbright as long as the delegation considered it would be "appropriate and beneficial to the party." W. Averell Harriman was at Og den and Provo in Utah Friday. Sen. Robert Kerr of Oklahoma at Clarksburg. W. Va., and Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Knoxville in his home state. A fourth. Sen. Richard Rus sell, of Georgia, hits the road Satur day on a 15-state stumping tour. kefauver is ahead of the pack in pre-convention delegate strength. The Associated Press scoreboard credits him with 246, followed by Russell's 86 '.2 and Harrlman's 85 '2. It takes 616 to win Democra tic nomination. Telephone 8111 Strike Said Political Football By WILLIAM G. SMOCK PITTSBURGH Ufl President Philip Murray of the atriklni CIO United Steelworkera told his policy making aides Friday that the un ion shop Issues Is only one of four obstacles holding up settlement of the 12-day-old steel strike. Murray, who also heads the nn. Ion's parent CIO, declared the steel wage-price dlsnute has be. come a political football. ine silvery nairea labor leader told a Joint strategy session of the USW executive board and wage policy committee: "I do not profess to know how long the struggle (Strike) will last." MANDATE He was given a rlslna when he said- it is his purpose lo j jwur uiHiiuaie ana me mandate of the last convention." He referred to a reiolutlon adopt ed at the union's convention lust .y wnicn urged a settlement based on recommendations of the Wage Stabilization Board. The WSB recommended a 26 cent hourly raise for steelworkera now earning an average of be tween 81.90 and 82 an hour and also called for a union shop. In addition to the union shop. Murray listed these other issues as blocking a final settlement: 1. The steel Industry's insistence on a management clause In any new contract. Murray said such a clause, defining management's rights, would allow companies to launch sDeeduna. 2. The question of seniority. Mur ray said the U. S. Steel Corn, wanted all seniority questions re solved to Its satisfaction. 3 Incentive pay. The labor chief declared U. S. 8teel also insist ed on its version of Incentive. , 4. The union shop. Murray said the Industry falsely gave out the Impression that the union shop Is the only issue. He called that "a plain unadulterated lie.". UNION SHOP . ; But he discussed the union shop at great length and ridiculed state ments of steel executives that their opposition is based on principle He said they alreadv hd a union shop to 50 per cent of USW mt in utra. When Murray mentioned Sen. Robert A. Taft (R.-Ohim nri Dwight D. Eisenhower, both can- dldaies for the Republican presi denUal nomination, his audience booed lustily. Murray said Taft should have more sense than lo press for a court inlunllnn .....I ,t .- ----- uie 1 ill L- Hartley TlcU Various members of the audience yelled: "What sense?" and "He ain't got no sense at all." EISENHOWER Murray called Eisenhower a ' "me loo-er." because Eisenhower Supported Taft's rierla raLirm Iho, the Taft . Hartley Act should be ' invoked by President Truman to get the steel mills back in produc- uuu. Refering to the Korean situa tion. Murray declared them i nn question "that the boys in Korea will be provided the equipment they need." Murray epened his hour long address to newsmen in an almost unprecedented move by his union. Upon finishing his report on sta- . tus of union-industry negotiations. newsmen were hustled out of the hotel ballroom meeting room. Steelworkera at the strategy ses sion jumped to their feet and gave Murray an ovation of several mi nutes. Then they went to lunch be fore going into executive meetings. ' Meanwhile. Mobilization Director John R. Steelman tackled the prob lem of removing from the picketed steel yards and warehouses metal which already Is finished or partly finished and delivering it to muni tions plants. Union leaders attend ing a .Washington conference agreed to present Steelman's pro posal at the Pittsburgh meeting. Fast breaking developments In the steel crisis turned the strike spotlight on Pittsburgh after the House Banking Committee in Wash ington voted 15 to 10 against a proposal that. President Truman be empowered to seize the steel in dustry. Union Leader Accuses GE WASHINGTON Wl James B. Carey, leader of a CIO union of electrical workers, told senators Friday that a rival "Communist controlled union" survives only be cause of "deliberate, active assist ance and encouragement of bin business." Testifying before a Senate labor subcommittee, Carey Specifically named General Electric Corp. Ho said it professes impartiality In ' the fight between his union and the rival union for collective bargain ing rights in the company's plants but actually follows a "dlvlde-and rule" policy. Carey Is president of the Inter national Union of Electrical, Ra dio and Machine Workers (CIOi. The other union is United Elec trical, Radio and Machine Workers (UE) which was In the CTO for many years but was expelled in 1949 on the grounds It was following the Red line. "Because of Its size and re sources the UE has been both a source of funds and nn ideologicnl rallying point for other Commun- nist groups, Carey said. Ana ne added: , 'UE offered the Kremlin's espi onage and sabotage agencies a po tential access to classified Mid se cret weapon production up to and including atomic developments. 'In encouraging ana assisting the survival of UE, the mulll- . million dollar corporation In our Industry have committed some thing very close to treason.1'
