Deputy Foreign Mi
Spokesman Says Chances
For Agreement Are Good
PARIS, March 4 (IP)—Russian and Western Deputy For
egn Ministers met for three hours today and a French spokes
man said he believed they could agree on a work sheet for
a Big Four meeting. ,
The rival agendas presen
Minister Andrei Grorpyko and
'Davies showed Old differences,
however, on what each side• be
lieved the foreign ministers of
the four powers should talk about
to ease wprld tension.
Russia's list was headed by the,
proposal to halt the proposed re
armament of Western Germany,
conclude a German peace treaty, ,
withdraw occupation fortes and
reduce the armed forces of the
four powers. The list did not in
clude an Austrian treaty,
International Tension
The western powers proposed
to look first into the 'causes. of
international tension in Europe,"
then take up an Austrian peace
treaty. They put German unity
and a German peace treaty last.
Neither side proposed to talk
about the Korean war, Indochina,
the problems surrounding Red
China or other bases .of conflict
in the Far East.
What the Western powers
really are concerned about is the
armament on the east side of the
iron curtain, which they claim is
the real cause of tension in Eu
rope and the reason for their
proposed rearmament of Western
Germany.
Impartial Census
A Wekern spokesman said
one of their aims is an impartial
census of th e soldiers on both
sides of the iron curtain.
"We probably won't get to first
base with it," an American as
serted, "but we'd • like to get
them (the Russians) on the rec
ord anyway."
The proposal for such a census
already has been renewed in the
United Nations. The Russians re
cently charged. the West has
5,000,000 men under arms, twice
as many as the Soviet Union. The
West estimates Russian power
at nearer ' 4,000,000 men, not
counting Red China's 3,000,000 or
more, nor the satellites' 1,000,000.
The four deputies are meeting
to see if they can agree on hold
ing another foreign ministers'
session, the first since October,
1949, when they failed again to
reach an agreement on an Aus
trian peace treaty.

For Tighter
Price Curbs
WASHINGTON, March 5—(11 3 1
The United Labor Policy commit
tee (ULPC), representing most of
organized labor, set out today to
enlist the aid of housewives and
consumers across the nation in a
fight for tighter price controls.
A • series of broadcasts, forums,
and radio, news conferences by
labor leaders is scheduled in the
next week, starting with a speech
tonight from Miami by CIO
President Phillip Murray.
Meetings were called here for
March 20 and 21 •of 700 local and
state representatives of 'the AFL,
CIO, and railroad unions to plan
the nationwide campaign.
A ULPC spokesman explained 1
the purpose is to enlist-the help
of local consumer and civic groups
in urging congressmen and the
government to change the ddfense
production act so as to get tighter
price controls; to control rents
more rigidly, and to obtain an
equitable tax law.
The spokesman said the labor
unions "must take the leider
ship" in harnessing prices as part
of their general assault on the
mobilization - stablilzation. p r o -
gram. It was that disagreement
with mobilization leaders which
brought on• the labor leader's
break with defense program
planning agencies last week.
No immediate prospect was in
sight fore settling that split, which
might even lead to a political
break with President Truman, a
ULPC official said.

WASHINGTON, Mirch s—(fP)
—An investigating senator told
today of evidence that Senator
Murray (D-Mont.) plugged for a
$1,000,000 Reconstruction Finance.
Corporation loan to a Miami
Beach hotel which netted one of
Murray's sons a lawyer's fee. Tes
timony today involved a second
son.
Th e Senate' inquiry also re
leased testimony taken privately
that Donald Dawson, a White
House aide, and other politicians
had enjoyed visits to Florida as
non-paying guests of another
Miami Beach Hotel, the Saxony,
which borrowed $1,500,000 from
RFC.
The Saxony, .where the tariff
starts at $3O a day for single
guests, is one of the fanciest es
tablishments in Miami Beach.
As the subcommittee plowed
new ground in its investigation
of alleged political influence in
RFC le9ding, the House Expen
ditures committee today approved
President Truman's plan for RFC
organization.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
United States
Calls For UN
To Build Army
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., March
5 (IP) —The United States today
called urgently for United Na
tions members to earmark quick
ly, by September at least, armed
forces to fight any aggression at
any time.
The United States also raised
the possibility of recruiting a
United Nations Legion to supple
ment such a U.N. army.
The call was sounded by Hard
ing Bancroft, U.S. alternate, on
th e United ,
Nations ' collective
measures committee, at its first
meeting. Bancroft said the United
Nations is "mustering its re
sources for peace."
"There should be no doubt . that
the sources of strength which we
have individually, if harnessed
into a common venture, can
create a bulwark against agres
sion," Bancroft said. "The work of
this committee can evoke the con
viction that the national interests
of all countries will be most ef
fectively serve by full partici
pation in a universal collective
security system under the United
Nations and in accordance with
the purposes and principles of the
Charter."
He suggested that the commit
tee first work out temporary ar
rangements for the collective use
of forces immediately so that a
start could be made on the sys
tem. He said the committee also
should' develop plans for collec
tive application of political, eco
nomic 'arid psychological measures
to restrain aggression.

PACE THREE
legislation, promised a full dress
debate when the bills are called
up for a vote.
"Why debate them now and
then have it all over again tomor
row?" Dent replied when asked
why the Democrats permitted the
bills to be advanced without ar
gument.
The legislation, already ap
proved by the House, would set
up a State Council of Civil D'.-
fense with broad emergency pow
ers; permit local municipalities to
finance their own emergency pre
parations and allow Pennsylvania
to enter into mutual aid compacts
with other states.
A fifth bill, still in Senate com
mittee, would fix death as the
penalty for industrial, sabotage
involving loss of life and call for
fines and imprisonment for non
fatal sabotage.
The house, without any bills up
for passage, quickly ran through
its calendar of bills advancing for
final vote, but then became in
volved in a long debate over Phil
adelphia legislation.
The legislation included pro
posals to remove appointive, pow
er of members of the Philadelphia
Housing authority and urban re
development authority from the
city and transfer them to the Gov
ernor.
Th e democrats strongly op
posed the bills on the grounds
they violated the concept of home
rule. At. the same time they called
for a public hearing in order to
permit the issue to be discussed
at length.
A motion to recommit the bills
to commitee to permit a public
hearing was voted down on
straight party lines.
