Controls Must
Be Restored
WASHINGTON (/P)—Chairman
Weichel • <R.-Ohio*, said yesterday
. the House-merchant marine com
mittee has learned that Sovier
operated tankers carrying oil from
this country to Russia were built
for the U. S. government only a
few years ago.
One of them, he said, sa'lcd
from California less than two
weeks ago with 123,895 barrels of
gasoline and 12,500 barrels of v1
and two others left earlier tins
month with 113,000 barrels of o 1.
Three more. Weichel told a re
porter, are loading in California
ports and may depart before ex
port controls are restored on pe
troleum products effective June
30.
| The commerce department, an
, nouncing reimposition of the con
trols Monday night, explained:
“Export control is necessary if
the limited domestic supply is to
be protected and U. S. petroleum
exports are to be used most effec
tively in the interest of world re
covery.” The controls were lifted
soon after V-J day. They apply
all nations except Canada.
! The government’s authority to
control exports runs oyt next
Monday midnight, but an exten
sion bill is pending in Congress.
' Weichel, said the consignor for
all six of the tankers on the west
coast is the Amtorg Trading Cor
poration, Soviet purchasing agen
cy, which bought the oil from sev
eral large United States compan
ies.
Italian President
Nicola Resigns
ROME. (/P)—Provisional Presi
dent Enrico de Nicola, 69, sent his
resignation to the constituent as
sembly today.
The resignation came after ap
proximately 6,000,000 members of
the Communist-dominated general
confederation of labor held a na
tionwide half hour strike at mid
morning in protest against the
series of attacks on Sicilian Com
munist headquarters Sunday.
De Nicola’s message, read to a
hushed assembly by speaker Um
berto Terracini said his health
prevented him from exercising
“my functions any longer.”
The possibility, remained that
the assembly might ask de Nicola
to serve again. Other candidates
mentioned were three old men of
j Italian politics, all - former pre
I miers: Ivanhoe Bonomi, Francisco
i Saverco Nitti and Vittorco Emen
1 uele Orlando, last survivor of the
Big Four of the first world war.
Only railway workers and em
ployees in the most essential pub
lic services were exempted from
the confederation’s call for a
“folded arms” work stoppage.
As whistles blew to announce
the start of the strike, buses and
other means of local transporta
tion came to a halt in Rome. Pas
sengers descended and continued
on their way afoot, or waited pa
tiently for the end of the half
hour.

U. S. To F urnish
South America
With Warships
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Secretary
of the navy Forrestal today con
firmed plans to furnish South
American nations with modern U,
S. warships as part of a western
hemisphere policy of co-operation
for mutual security.
“It is the intention of the navy
department to substitute newer U.
S. naval vassels for the obsolete
types of our neighbors,” Forres
tal said. “This substitution is pro
prosed on an approximately equal
tonnage basis. . . .”
He did not tell exactly what
types of vessels this country pro
posed to furnish but said in a
statement read before the House
foreign affairs committee that the
navy “has been holding in reserve
for transfer certain naval vessels
which are in excess of our present
defense requirements.”
(Two weeks ago, the Associated
Press reported the existence of a
memorandum from Forrestal to
secretary of state Marshall saying
the navy is prepared to transfer
four light cruisers and 117 smaller
vessels to Latin America.
(The cruisers the the Nashville,
the Phoenix, the Boise and the St.
Louis).
Forrestal’s testimony tdttay was
in support of legislation provid
ing for military cooperation be
tween the American republics, in
cluding standardization of arma
ments. Marshall and secretary of
war Patterson previously urged
its enactment.
