OPASought

Washington, June 26-UP-Sen'
ate and House conferees sought TO
reconcile differences on OPA curbs
today amid reports that the Office
Of Economic Sterilization was vio-
lently opposed to one amendment.
The amendment was the House
approved "Food Gar" amendment
which would give the Secretary of
Agriculture veto power over all
food regulations.
Congressional sources believed
the Administration would accept
the Food Car amendment but
would fight all other restrictions
on OPA.
But at least one branch of the
Administration-the OES- was
known to believe that giving the
secretary OF agriculture final say
on food prices would strip 1t OF
power to hold the line against In
flation, the Job 1t was set up by
Congress to do.
The OES feels that regulation OF
food and commodity prices Is In
terlocked with regulation of wages.
Its Job is to coordinate both. 1t be-
lieves that II would be a natural
tendency of the Department OF
Agriculture to seek higher farm
prices without regard to their re-
lationship to other sterilization fac
tors such as wages.
The OES is expected to make its
views known to the conferees who
begin their efforts today to seek
agreement In time to meet the OPA
expiration deadline Saturday mid
night.

Roast Beef

Bond Sales

Ypsilanti residents today were
apparently overlooking one Of their
best bets, having failed TO take
roasts OF beef with purchases OF
$500 war bonds.
Cigarettes and roses were still
going strong but officials OF the
war bond drive are looking for a
real bulge in sales as soon as the
populace discovers that the offer
Of beef roast isn't "baloney".
Points will have to be given for
the meat but Killers Market which
is contributing the beef to aid in
promoting Ypsilanti's war bona
campaign, states that they will
issue point credit good In July,
when new coupons become good.
Ben Sovey's roses from the Ypsi.

N. River st. continues to establish
the biggest appeal to bond buyers.
His generosity has been receiving
favorable comment from all parts
of the city. One woman drove
eight miles to Ypsilanti, made her
bond purchase and then drove to
the greenhouse to get her roses.
Eight $1,000 bonds have been sold
since Monday morning. The past
week was the heaviest since the
campaign started,-35 were sold.

Washington, June 26 up A

who beat soldier prisoners at the

Rep. Leon H. Gavin, r., Pa, told

was working fast enough.
Gavin said "a number Of other
cases we're uncovered" involving
"privates, non-commissioned Off

called on the War Department to
punish all those involved and to
find out II similar incidents Of

Fifty Nations ST Sn Charter
Final Address
to be Given
by Truman

San Francisco. June 26-INS -
delegates representing so United
Nations today affix their signatures
TO a world security charter embrac-
ing the hope and determination OF
civilized mankind to prevent future
wars.
The l0,00O-word charter, describ-
ed by the delegates themselves as d
document of compromises" was
formally adopted at a plenary SEES
sion of the nineweek-old United
Nations conference late last night.
President Harry S. Truman, in
an address at the final plenary
meeting, will close the historic San
Francisco meeting this afternoon.
A total Of 1873 delegates were TO
sign the blue Morocco-bound char
ter in ceremonies beginning this
morning in San Francisco's Vet
Grams building. In addition to the
charter, their signatures will go
upon The annexed statute OF the
international Court of Justice and
the document establishing the pre-
pdTdtOry commission.
Four of the Big Five powers
China, the Soviet Union, the
United Kingdom and France-leaa
off the list of signers in that order.
The other nations follow in alpha
betical order, beginning with Ar
gentina, except for Guatemala and
the United States which elected to
sign last as the 49th and 50th
participants.
Although the conference ends
today, there remains one other item
of business before the delegation
leaders leave San Francisco. The
interim commission. created to car
ry on for the world organization
until its permanent agencies be-
gin to function, meets tomorrow
morning.
The charter was formally adopt
ed at dramatic plenary session in
the Golden Gate City's War Me-
mortal Opera House at 1854 p.
m. PVT last night. At the sugges-
ton of the presiding officer, Lord
Halifax, British Ambassador to the
United States, the chairmen OF all
so delegations rose and were
counted for the unanimous vote.
Acceptance of the document came
after the full conference had re-
ceived final reports from the four
commissions under whose jurisdic-
ton the laborious task OF drafting
the peace-keeping papers was con-
Quoted.
II came, too, after Soviet Am
bassador Andrea A. Gromyko, chair
man of Russia's delegation, injuct-
ed surprise objection TO the ind
ings of one committee on the ques-
ton Of future withdrawal from the
international organization. The
Soviet delegation took issue with
the committees explanation for de-
Gliding not to include a withdrawal
provision in the charter.
II was wrong for the committee
to state beforehand" the ground
on which any state might defend its
right to withdraw. said Cromyko,
because such right lis a matter or
state sovereignty and to revile
such a right would be denial OF
state sovereignty"
The Soviet spokesman merely
asked that his delegations views
be included in the records OF the
session. 1t was so recorded as the
delegates sat silent. There was no
applause as Gromyko completed his
statement and returned to his seat.
Otherwise, the final business"
session was one marked by en-
thusiastic acclaim for the work
accomplished and those who led in
its development.
