Good News
 For A Ticket Vocationists

Washington, July T. (UP)-The key to vacation travel on "A" gaso- line rations after July 15 for motor ists in the northeastern shortage are today rested upon the generosity of local rationing boards.
 What at first appeared to be a prohibitive aftcrthought to Price Administrator Prentiss M. Browns Christmas present in July" for Would-be eastern vacationistS turned out to be a provision vesting final authority for the assurance of travel authorization in the hands of local rationing boards.
 Shortly after Brown placed the official sanction on an earlier an- nouncement by Rep. Fred A. Hart ley, R., N. J., that "A" rations could be used for one round-trip to a summer home or other vacation spots, OPA released a "post-scripJ' asserting that authorization would be granted by the local board only if applicant could show that alter nate means of transportation are inadequate.
 From some quarters came SuggeS- tions that motorists might dodge the proviso by asserting that any alternate transportation would be inadequate for travel with garden tools, the baby's bathinette, the canary bird or miscellaneous house. hold effects.
 Anybody who interprets it as a restrictive amendment is only talk ing the joy out of the announce ment," he said I'll raise hell with OPA if there is any attempt at dou- ble-dealing or skullduggery."

 Witnesses said the bus careenec across the narrow road before il crashed into the railroad structure They said the driver apparently tainted when he saw the accident was inevitable. The impact of the crash was so great that persons 3 quarter mile distant reported hear ing the noise.
 After the crash, the bus stooo half-suspended in the air and ther dropped over on it's side. Police arS civilians rushed to help extricate the passengers.
 All available help was called out to give first-aid to the injured at the scene with ambulances speed ing from Bingham, Cohasset, Quin- cy and Braintree. A navy ambu- lance taking injured 10 hospitals was in collision with private au- tomobile, but no one was hurt.

Final Notice Given Drivers

Hundreds of local motorists were issued orders by U. s. Internal Rev enue agents yesterday to purchase car-use tax stamps and report back to the local office, it was disclosed today. Members of the local office it was disclosed today. Members of the local office in an effort to en- force the law and apprehend viola tors today continued their search for stamp-lesS cars and distributed scores more of the printed warning sheets.
 As the warned violators today purchased the S5 stamps at the postoffice a staff member of the local Internal Revenue Office stood by to check off license numbers from the violation list".

Baldwin Backs Milk Price Raise

Hartford, Conn, July - CUP)- Governor Baldwin today supported the demand of Connecticut milk producers for a price increase or one cent quart by sending tele- gram to National OPA Director Prentiss M. Brown urging that the ceiling be raised.
 State OPA Director Chester BoWles made the same recommenda- tion to Washington as result ot a recent hearing at which producers said it was imperative to increase their income because of higher prices of feed, equipment and short age of manpoWer.
 Producers claimed there would pc a serious milk shortage in the state by the end of the year unless the increase was allowed.
 Governor Baldwin wired Brown:
 "Connecticut milk administrator, after extended hearings and study finds that milk price increase of one cent per quart should be paid to producer as essential to maintaining supply. Strongly urge that this m crease be allowed at once.'
 Meantime, the Office Of Defense Transportation called on more than 80 milk producers, dealers and truck CTS to serve on local committees to consider means of conserving gaso- line, manpoWer and equipment Tn 4. ,,,I e4r,, be responsible to the State Dairy h. dustry Transportation Coordinatlng Committee.

STERILIZATION
 PLAN FACING
 MAJOR ATTACK
BY JOHN L. CUTTER United Press Staff Correspondent)

Washington, July '. - (UP) - The fate of the ad- ministration's subsidy-roll- back program and of the Commodity Credit Corpora tion depended today on a Senate House conference subcommittee, dominated by members favoring a con- promise.
 The conference meets today in an attempt to soften another Senate attempt to outlaw the program for cutting the retail prices of food through subsidies.
 The administration was counting heavily on the persuasive powers of Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley of Kentucky, who was ap- pointed a conferee, in getting bill which will be acceptable to the Pres ident. To support him Vice Presl- dent Henry A. Wallace appointed as other senate conferees, Sens. Rob- ert F. Wagner, D., N. Y, Francis Maloney, D., Conn, and Robert A. Taft, R., O., all in favor of com- promising congressional opposition to White House insistence upon the program, and Sen. John A. Danaher, R., Conn, who offered the latest senate-approved anti-subSidy pro- posal.
 Today's conference follows a hec- tic on-again-of -off-again day in the senate during which that body first approved a limited subsidy plan, then disapproved of it, voted to re- consider that vote, and finally voted to outlaw subsidies.
 The final vote was 36 to 23 on an amendment to a eco extension bill that would forbid any govern- ment agency or corporation to pay subsidies to roll back food prices. The house, which last week narrow ly sustained a presidential veto of

New York, July 7-UP)-Offi- cials of Rockefeller Center arranged today to hear the grievances of 250 elevator operators and mechanics who struck briefly at 5 D. m. yes- terday, halting all elevator service for minutes in the 12 office build ings of the Center.
 Approximately c6,O00 persons em- ployed in offices in the Center and a number of visitors were stranded in the buildings, one of which is 70 stories high. Many of them walked to the street level, including about 50 tourists who were on the 10th floor of the 2CA building when the strike started.
 The operators and mechanics walked out in protest against the dismissal of a window cleaner, who was laid off for non-payment of dues, according to strike leaders.

Boost Right To Pick Post War Leaders
BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Correspondent

London, July T. CUP) - The Greeks and the Jugoslavs have giv- en sharp boost to one of the United Nations cardinal principles insistence upon the right of peoples within the individudal countries to choose their own postwar leaders.
 Declarations to this end issued by the Greek and Jugoslav cXiled gov ernments have reflected persistent efforts by Americans and the Brit ish designed to convince certain refugee governments of the need for appreciation of basic Democratic principles. The principle of permit ting countries now occupied by the Axis to choose their own leaders | after their liberation has been a guiding policy in United States re- lations with Gen. Charles De Gaulle as well as with other refugee organ izations.
 Such a pledge was given to Jugo- slavs by King Peter in a Serb lan- guage broadcast on June 23. It was followed this weeA by similar broadcast from Cairo by King George of Greece. Both pledges were more significant because of the similarity of language used and the imminence of wide scale Allied of- fensive operations in the Mediter- ranean theater.
 In addition, King Peter expressed admiration for all Jugoslavs fight ing the Axis, regardless of whether they are with the official faction under Gen. Draja Mihailovitch or with the partisan guerrillas. The declaration was intended to clear the atmosphere of internal disputes and make possible Allied coopera- tion with all Jugoslavs when, as and if the Allied troops land.
 King Georges statement also was designed to unify factions in occu- pied Greece. It also was believed that the similarity of the state ments and the desire of Peter to marry a Greek princess were lndl- cations of a growing desire among certain Jugoslav and Greek factions for the closest possible postwar re- lationship between the two coun- tries. This relationship, it is be- lieved, would include a customs un- ion, joint foreign policy, deten- sive alliance and probably broad ec- onomic collaboration.
