Preliminary Inquiry
Will Open Today on
PLAY Suit Hazards

A preliminary inquiry into the
manufacture and sale Of cowboy
play suits allegedly containing high
ly infammable materials was to be
started today at the direction of
Chairman Lea of the House Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee.
Representative Priest, Democrat,
OF Tennessee, asked to assemble
available information as basis for
contemplated formal hearings, was
to ascertain whether representatives
Of a New York manufacturer of the
play suits would come voluntarily to
the Capital to testify.
If not, Chairman Lea said, the
committee could go before the House
with request for authority for an
investigation, including the power
to subpoena witnesses. He said he
doubted if this would be necessary.
These steps were planned as Capt.
r. A. Warf1eld, deputy fire marshal,
arranged to confer with Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech on pos
sible action to ban sale of the suits.
Meanwhile District merchants were
informed the play suits contained
highly inf1ammable material.
After reviewing reports that three
children in this area had been
burned to death in fires igniting in
the cowboy suits, Chairman Lea
said he was convinced congressional
action would be necessary If it were
found no present law provided suf-
ficient protection.
Use of such play suits without a
warning of the fire hazards in
volved, he said, is dangerous.
While Mr.. Priest and Representa-
tive Rankin, Democrat, of MiSSis-
sippi. said they were ready to offer
an investigation resolution, if that
step were required, Mr.. Lea said he
believed the committee had before it
a basis for hearings In bill intro
duced last month by Representative
Johnson, Republican, of California.

WHAT C0MFENszTI0NF

WHAT COMPENSAIAON
 Here is an excerpt from rec conversion director John w. Snyder's report to President Truman entitled Prom War to Peace: A Challenge:
 How much compensation is paid and for how long?
 The state laws differ cOnsid- erably. In such states as New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Washington, eligible work CTS may receive benefits for as long as twenty-six weeks, but in some states the maximum is as low as fourteen or sixteen weeks. The size of the weekly payment, in all states, depends on previous wages, and usually is equal to from one-half to two-thirds of previous weekly earnings, within certain mini- mum and maximum limits.
 The maximum payment var ies from $25 or more in such states as Michigan, Washing ton and Connecticut down to SIS or $16 per week in four- teen states. As of Aug. II, 1945, approximately 190,0O0 persons were drawing unemployment compensation, and the average weekly payment was about SIS.

 around and shopping about for new jobs" he commented adding that only a handful of new workerS 41ye been secured at his establishments since Surrender Day.
 The old rule of delivery once . week, originally set up to conserve gasoline and tires. is still followed here, and may continue in force Tor sometime, it was indicated.
 sIt all depends on how keen com- petition is on the delivery program" one operator commented. If one laundry begins to make more de- liveries, others will probably follow" he said. :.
 Local residents who expect quick service now that the war Is over may be in for a disappointment. It was reported that consumers are still given the same story when asked "how long will 1t take"
 The "hard-t0-clean" commodities, which some establishments of their own accord refused to accept, are still on the mot acceptable list in many places. Rugs, slipcovers, and hats are among them.
 Many establishments, however, are reported to beknaking plans for ex- banding service, and changes are expected to result as soon as the long-sought extra help is obtained.

(Continued from Page D keystone of that policy is close working arrangement with the United States.
 On his arrival here last Wedpes- day, De Gaulle's first statement was to acknowledge U. S. world leadership and to announce French willingness to follow. His press con- ference was scattered with many similar statements.
 Seeks Control
 In a major statement on French desires for security against Ger many, De Gaulle proposed inter- standardization of the German Ruhr valley, now occupied by the British, and eventual French con- trol of the entire west banF of the Rhine, the gateway for past Ger man aggression against France.
 His Ruhr proposal was expected to receive British opposition when it Is formally presented to the council of foreign ministers at Lson- don next month.
 De Gaulle's emphasis upon Frances need for economic assist ance in reconstruction made 1t ap- parent that such problems topped the agenda of his talks here with MT. Truman.

 On the domestic front Brownelt indicated much more thoroughgoina COP opposition to the democratic program, referring to "a funda- mental conflict between many of the basic views of the administration in power and the views of the Re. publicans."
 Back Employment Bin
 However, he singled out only the administration - backed full em- ployment" bill for specific comment, leaving party battle lines on other issues to form as the issues arise. In preparation for the l946 con- gressional campaign Brownen said the COP goal in the coming session of Congress would be "to demand full public statement of admins tration policies at home and abroad" He added that the COP aim would then be to point out to the American people the fundamental conflict between certain administra- tion policies and the COP policies" Referring to U. s. acceptance of the United Nations charter Brown ell said the COP would hold Presi- dent Truman's administration ac- countable for making the machinery work insofar as 1t lies within the power of America to do so."

(Continued from Page D was no hope of friendship between China and Mongolia. He said also that the successful end of the war assured China of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Man churia and the independence of Korea.
 In 8 statement which cut off fears of a growing British Chinese dispute over Hong Kong, Chiang said China is unwilling to send her troops to accept the Japanese srr- render of the British Crown colony lest such move create a misun- derstanding with the Allies. He added that it was hoped that China and Great Britain, through legal procedure and demands of the times could effect a rational settlement of the question.
 (BBC monitors in London said that 8 Manila broadcast to Tokyo stated that Japanese forces in Hong Kong will surrender to Royal naval units under Read Admiral c. H. J. Harcourt subsequent to Aug. 31, in accordance with arrangements al- ready completed by Harcourt)
 The Mongolian recognition was regarded as a possible satisfactory settlement of the Chinese Commun- ist problem which would avert any threat of a possible civil war.
 Mongolia FayOrs Reds
 Outer Mongolia long has been re. garded as a semi-independent area with interests inclining toward So- viet Russia.
 Observers believed that recogni- ton of its freedom was Chiang's only recourse if he hoped to ob- tain Russian approval on the terri- torial integrity of Manchuria, which borders Mongolia on the east.
 Reliable sources believed this agreement was provided for in the new Chinese-Soviet treaty, ratified by the legislative Yuan and Su- preme National Defense Council yesterday, which has not yet been published officially.
 Chiang also said that China must allow Tibet a high degree of anton omy, and that he hoped the Allies would raise the political status of Burma. He urged that Thailand be allowed to resume its independence and establish normal diplomatic re- lations with China.
 Chinese forces will march into the northern half of Indo- China, Chi ang said, but the Chinese govern ment holds no territorial ambitions there and hopes that Indo-C China will emerge from autonomy to in- dependence.
 China now has recovered all her leased out territories except Hong Kong and Kowloon.

mendation of the Allied Control Commission. Soviets Agreeable Since Russia also is 8 member of the control commission, this in- dicated that the Soviets had sup ported the western allies despite the cries of official Russian news papers that Allied intervention was unwarranted.
 The text of the Bulgarian an- |nouncement clearly showed that the government made the postponement decision reluctantly. It said: '"The government, after careful consideration of the notes of Britain and the United States of America expressing the views of their re- spective foreign ministers, ap- preached the Allied Control Com- mission.
 ''This latter has recommended in a communication received today that the Bulgarian government postpone the elections which ought to have taken place on Aug. 26 in view of the Bulgarian governments desire to facilitate and speed up the con- clusion of peace.
 "The government, taking this rec ommendation into consideration and in following its desire to avoid anxiety as regards preparations for and the carrying out of elec- tions, decided to postpone them to a later date"
 Britain Informed l A British foreign office commen- tator confirmed that Britain had been notified of the postponement.
 Sofia also broadcast the text of the note sent by the Bulgarian For eign Minister Prof. Petko Stayrlov, | to Colonel General Biryuzov, Rus sian deputy president of the Allied Control commission.
 Britain announced on Tuesday that her minister in Sofia had noti- fed Bulgaria that London would be unable to recognize as Democratic any Bulgarian government formed as result of the elections" sched- uled for Sunday.
 | Ol1 NOIIOdy, v. D. CCNAConAy cA State James Byrnes said that the United States was not satisfied that the Bulgarian election arrange ments would permit all Democratic elements to participate free from force and intimidation"
 As late as yesterday, however, Sofia insisted the elections would be held on schedule.
 The Allied objections stemmed from the single fatherland front party set up by Prime Minister Kimon Georgiev to embrace all for mer parties in Bulgaria. Balkan dispatches have contended that the new party was Communist con- trolled,
 Six cabinet ministers resigned soon after the elections first were scheduled. They demanded that lists. of election candidates should include representatives of parties other than the Fatherland Front.
