by Congress
WASHINGTON, June 30 —Pres
ident Truman has until midnight
to decide whether he will accept
a temporary, watered-down price !
control extension or abandon lor
at least a month his emergency ]
powers over the nation’s economy.
Congress left him no other choice
when it passed yesterday a stop-;
pap bill which would extend the
Defense Production Act for the
month of July and ban price roll
backs and additional price ceil
ings during that period.
Although Mr. Truman was ex
pected to sign the measure to pre
vent complete collapse of the con
trols program, it represents a sharp
setback for his administration.
Truman Fights Hard
He had fought hard—and is ex
pected to continue fighting—for a
two-year extension of the law plus
increased powers he deems essential
to halter inflation and help the
defense effort.

T^VSHINGTON, June 30 — Sen
ators are finding it novel and re
freshing to have a newspaperman
as a colleague. However, the new
Senator, Blair Moody of Michigan
doesn’t always follows the “club”
rules, and some senators don't like
it.
For instance, it's against the un
written senate cods for one senator
to expose another in a bald-faced
lie. Yet that’s what happened when
Senator Homer Capehart, Indiana
Republican, tried to vote with the
meatpackers in secret, and pretend
he was on the side of the house
wives in public.
Under the “club rules,” Cape
hart’s colleagues would have ex
cused this deception as politics and
let him get away with it. However,
Michigan’s Moody was still too
much of a newspaperman.
What happened is that Capehart
voted behind closed doors to kiU
all price controls. Yet posing as the ,
housewive’s friend, he delivered a

In that time, the boys, sons of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Charipar of

rowed a counter so the boys could get an accurate count. The

ASI LEADERS
WON'T SIGN
AGREEMENT
Bristol Bay Unions Accuse
Machinists Ignoring
Picket Lines
DILLINGHAM,.Alaska, June 30
M’l— Alaska Salmon Industry lead
ers were reported today to havt
flatly refused to sign an agreement
with striking Bristol Bay resident
cannery workers unless they would
agree to end their walkout.
At the same time, a new Issue was
injected into the tieup.
Both the cannery workers and a
second striking union accused the
AFL machinists of ignoring picket
lines. Only yesterday, the resident
CIO Cannery Workers union and
the Independent Bering Sea Fisher
men's union announced they had
voted to affiliate with the AFL Sea
farers’ International union.
Break Off Discussions
The committee said Industry of
ficials W. C. Arnold and Elmer Har
ris broke off discussons after stating
no agreement would be completed
with the cannery workers unless
they promised to return to their
jobs.
The charge that AFL machinists
were working behind the strikers’
picket lines was pinpointed at Squaw
Creek where they were sad to be
unloading cargo.
Cannery workers, who have taken
over all picketing formerly done by
the Bering Sea union, said the tie
up in Bristol Bay is not complete
but Is becoming more effective.
The local 46 strike committee said
no boats went out yesterday from
the Libby, McNeill and Libby can
nery at Koggiung Point. Other can
neries listed as idle or crippled were
those at Ekuk. Clark’s Point and
Dillingham.

RIDGWAY'S
PROPOSALS
SENT REDS
Commander Invites Con
ference on Cease War
Aboard Danish Ship
TOKYO, June 30—(if)—1The United
Nations invited the Communists to
talk about a Korean nrmlstice Sat
urday, but Red reactions were not
encouraging.
There was no word of a reply from
the Communist military commander
early Sunday, more than 16 hours
after Oen. Matthew B. Ridgway
suggested peace talks.
Official Chinese and Korean Red
radios in Peiping and Pyongyang
made their final broadcasts Satur
day night without even mentioning
Ridgway's proposal.
No Optimism
The government of India, which
in the past has tried to mediate
the war, did not share the optimism
expressed in UN quarters. It did not
iay why.
The Moscow Press published, with
out comment, General Ridgway’s in
vitation to cease-fire talks aboard
the Danish hospital ship Jutlandia.
Urges War Efforts
Communist press and radio con
tinued attacks on “American ruling
circles.” The Peiping radio urged
ntenslfied war efforts. Pyongyang
radio published another war com
munique. Moscow radio quoted a
North Korean demand that U. 8.
troops be barred from Japan after
1 Japanese peace traaty.
"Anti-Soviet Hysteria”
Moscow newspapers accused “Am
erican ruling circles” of trying to
whip up new “anti-Soviet hysteria,”
and accused UN Secretary-General
Trygve Lie of “pnary noisemaking.”
Lie expressed earnest hope of a
prompt and affirmative response”
from the Communists to Ridgway's
iffer.
Ridgway’s Message
All available radio facilities in
Japan and South Korea continued
broadcasting the supreme UN com
mander's invitation to the "com
mander-in-chlef of Communist
forces in Korea.”
Ridgway, acting on instructions
from Washington, broadcast the
message at 8 a.m. (5 p.m., E8T, Fri
day). It was translated into Korean
and radioed by the Signal Corps
from Tokyo.
Ridgway’s message was addressed
simply to "Commander-in-chief,
Communist Forces in Korea.” Gen.
Peng Teh-Nuai is the Chinese Red
field commander. Premier Kim 11
Sung is marshal of the Korean Red
forces.
Dramatic Challenge
The message, warmly received by
UN delegates at United Nations, N.
Y., made no mention of last week’s
cease-fire proposal by Jacob Malik,
Soviet deputy foreign minister.
Ridgway’s bid was regarded as a
dramatic challenge to the Commun
ists for a showdown on peace. His
message stated:
•As commander-in-chief of the
United Nations command, I have
been Instructed to communicate to
you the following:
“I am informed that you may
wish a meeting to discuss an armis
tice providing for the cessation of
hostilities and all acts of armed
force in Korea, with adequate guar
antees for the maintenance of such
armistice.
“Upon receipt of word from you
