Fear had been expressed that the
main magazine, containing $4,000

explosions dwindled and the flames
died down this morning. A dull

to be the last OF the series.
At least 13 persons were killed

Beyond Control
The fire ragged beyond control as
the blasts strewed wreckage over
Halifax and Dartmouth and shook
buildings miles away.
The total number Of casualties
still was uncertain. A Canadian
naval officer said he believed no
one in the immediate vicinity OF

The question Of the survival of

Others contend that the emperor,

Board of Commerce Finds
Need of OPA Adjustments

"Clothing-Although oPA has
held down prices Of ordinary cloth
ing, the result has been to produce
greater scarcity, particularly in the
category OF cotton textiles.
Rent Control-With respect to
rent control, rigid administration
has produced extreme inequalities.
There is a crying need for the ex.
istence Of a local appeal or equali-
zation board with the authority to
make rental adjustments either
up or down within certain limits.
"A survey in this area indicates
that housing vacancies are now
above normal and rapidly increas-
ing (apartments) are from 8 to 10
per cent? On this basis we
ments 5000. On this basis we
believe that removal of rent con-
troll would not increase overall
housing costs. Voluntary rent re-
auctions are being made.

al.

For any success, nothing is more
essential than the sincere coopera'
ton OF consumers and business
men. We recommend that officials
restrain any resentment against
criticisms and suggestions or treat
such as unpatriotic, selfish, and

and less rigid adherence to acad-
emic principles we feel the oPA

u s. VIII Aid Reasonable Plan,

Potsdam, July 19--AP-President
Truman was reported today to have
offered full support of the United
States government to any reason
able settlement Of Europe's imme-
date problems, apparently in an
effort to clear the way for concen-
tration by the Big Three on the
Japanese war.
The momentous conference
swung into its third day to all APP
pearances on a note of Harmony.
Chief American interest. centered
in what steps the three statesmen
might take to expedite the uncon.
ditional surrender of Japan, and If
the report of the Presidents offer is
true, much has been accomplished
to seed the work Of the conference.
The President was reported to
have told Prime Minister Churchill
and Premier Stain that the U. S.
Government would give full sup
port to any reasonable settlement
Of boundary disputes, sterilization
and rehabilitation.
I'm London, well-informed diplo-
matte sources expected the Big
Three to amputate huge slice Of
eastern Germany for the benefit Of
Poland.)
Top Secret Level
But for the present actual deci,
sions OF the conference and mat
tiers under discussion still are on
the top secrecy level pending form
al issuance of a joint communique.
There have been strong indica-
tons that Asia and Japan already
have been under discussion by the
three conferees. President Truman
man is understood to be contend
ing that the saving of American
lives is OF paramount Importance
with the United States Govern
ment,.
Some American observers In
Potsdam consider the Japanese war
and Russia's possible role therein
the major points OF discussion. Ad-
miral William d. Leahy, the Presi-
dents adviser Gen. George c.
Marshall, chief OF staff; Admiral Of
the Fleet Ernest j. King aud Gen.
H. H. Arnold, air chief, are report
ed to have prepared impressive
data.
Army Strengthened
There is speculation here on Rus
sia's possible participation in the
war on the Asiatic mainland. The
Soviet Far Eastern Army has been
strengthened continually since last
fall, and those who have studied
the situation speculate that Russia
could hurl great strength against
the Japanese on Manchurian plains,
could participate through a limited
holding action while providing
bases for great numbers of Ameri.
can bombers. or could throw its
weight into the decision In a mum.
