Motion 10 Censure
Labor Government

Industry Naturalization
And DemobiIizotion
Delay Hit by LytteIton

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. Solver Lyt-
telton presented an opposition
motion of censure against Brit
aims Labor government today
with the declaration that indus
try was being kept Gin q sort OF
Whitehall twilight" instead OF
being helped toward peacetime
production.
Opening the Conservative party S
first formal parliamentary attack
on the Laborite government, the
former president of the Board of
Trade criticized the Attlee, program
to nationalize key industries and
charged needless delay in demobili-
zation of Britain,s armed forces.
In housing, he said, the contribu-
ton was ''all words and no houses" +"
Demobilization Policy Hit. =.
Mr.. Lyttelton declared the Labor
administration believed that the
breathing of depleted British
industry could be sustained only
through the iron lung OF. govern
ment control"
The rate of release from the armed
forces, he asserted, is only about
half that of the United States be-
cause the government is "fuddling
and fiddling and kowtowing to un-
considerable demands"
The greatest censure is justified,
he added, because the demobilization
policy "is utterly untitled to the
needs of the nation"
Two days of debate are scheduled
in Commons on the formal motion
of censure. Parliamentary observ-
ers said the move was aimed at
formally criticizing the government
and would not result in downfall of
the Labor government since a vote
on a major government measure of
mo confidence" vote was not being
asked.
Stress on Exports Hit.
Turning to the automobile indus
try, Mr.. Lyttelton criticized the pol
icy of favoring exports over the
home market. He said it was not
surprising that manufacturers were
abandoning government-built war
plants which, Under wiser policy,
they could have used"
Then he said: Under nationaliza-
ton I see threat to the trade union
movement.
The Conservative party spokes-
man said Britain had two jobs
waiting for every single man or
woman" coming out of the armed
forces and raped the Government
for falling behind the United States
in the rate of rehabilitation.
1--WE wanted men and women in
industry as a crying need and Amer
leans were more concerned at the
moment with jobs than they were
with men and women" he said. But
what happened? The positions were
reversed and the energy and au-
dacity was being displayed by
Americans and they deserved the
highest credit for it."

BowIes, Asking Curb
On Building Prices,
Fears Wild Initiation
Tells House Committee
Of Desperate Need
For Veterans Housing
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Chester Bowles, price admins
traitor, called on Congress today
to invoke new controls on hous-
ing prices and on use of build
ing materials ito head off a wild
imitation in the prices of homes" !"
There is a desperate and imme-
diate need" he told the House
Banking Committee, ito provide
some shelter for the homeless vet
eran with a family" He then de-
clared:
Il am convinced that the MAJ
tion's whole effort to maintain a
stable economy during the critical
months ahead may easily be ex-
ploded by an infiationary fire in the
real estate field"
"Defeatism" Denied.
Decrying "the dangerous defeat
ism" of some people who argue that
the line against postwar imitation
cannot be held, he attributed re-
sponsibility for this frame of mind
to certain groups who feel that a
little imitation would serve their
selfish interests"
Mr.. Bowles appeared on Capitol
Hill in support of bill by Repre-
sentative Patman, Democrat, of
Texas that would give the Govern
ment authority to channel scarce
construction materials into 'rea-
sonably priced" homes with veterans
having first priority on purchase or
rental.
A builder would be allowed "a full
legal price" on his materials and
services, plus current labor costs.
plus the same margin of profit that
was made on comparable construc-
ton in 1941. Any builder caught
making an excessive profit, over
and above that enjoyed by the in
dustry in 194l," would be liable to
suit for damages from the purchaser
for three times the amount of the
excess profit"
Opposes One Provision.
Mr.. Bowles opposed one provision
of the Patman bill that would set
up a new Federal housing stabiliza-
ton Office, which opponents have
termed "czar" proposal. Existing
agencies could handle the job if
Congress confers the powers, Mr..
Bowles said.
Several members of the banking
group have criticized the Govern
ment for repeating wartime controls
on building materials on October Is,
and argue that these controls can be
restored without further legislation.
Mr. Bowles pointed out that the
present authority is embodied in the
Second War Powers Act, which ex-
lpires January !, and that the ex-

Progress Is Reported
In Attempts 10 Settle
7-Week Truck Strike
Union Refuses to Accept
Commissioners Plan of
5h-Cents-un-Hour Roise

District Building sources today
expressed belief that some
progress" had been made by the
Commissioners in their efforts to
effect a settlement between
union officials and trucking firm
representatives in the seven
week-old teamsters' strike, which
has tied up more than 2,000, ,000
worth of Christmas merchan-
disc and essential freight.
While the Commissioners and the
opposing parties in the wage con-
troversy remained silent regarding
the city heads peacemaking at
tempts, informed officials at the
District Building said the situation
was more hopeful" than several
days ago, when things were at a
standstill.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
the union rejected Q proposal of the
Commissioners In which straight

would be given the drivers. The
union stuck to its original demands
of wage boosts ranging up to 9h
cents an hour, depending on the

Ready to Arbitrate.
Reports yesterday indicated that
the II trucking firms involved were
agreeable to arbitration to end the
tieup, but no official announcement
to this effect has been made. Like
wise, the conditions under which the
companies repeatedly agreed to ar
bitrAtion also has not been dis
closed. Union leaders already have
agreed to arbitration.
The Commissioners have decided
not to issue any preliminary an
nouncements regarding progress of
their peacemaking efforts, express
ing the belief that premature state
ments might delay settlement.

for the II strike-bound firms, indi-
Gated that his clients would not

TEHERAN, Dec. 5.-The Rus
slams have refused, in a seconc
note to the Iran government, tt
permit entrance of additiona
Iranian troops into the troubled
northwestern province of Aver
baijan, it was disclosed today.
The new Soviet note came during
a tense political situation, with
Iranian Premier Hakimi threaten
ing to resign unless the dispute over
the province was settled by direct
negotiation with Moscow.
Iranian troops, ordered TO the
province which is the scene of q
local autonomy movement, still were

they were halted November 20 by
the Russians. Soviet troops have
occupied the province since 1941,
when they were sent to guard the
Russian lease-lend supply lane.
Note Dated December z.
The new Russian note, dated De-
cember 2 and delivered by the Soviet
Embassy in Teheran, said:
"The Soviet embassy in Iran pre-
sents its compliments to the Iran
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in
answer to its notes dated November
20 and November 20 declares that
concerning the request of the Iran
Foreign Ministry for immediate
Soviet authorization for Iran troops
to move northwards, the Soviet EN-.
bassy reiterates that it has given
it's definite answer in the note OF
November 26."
In the November 26 note the Rus
slams said their refusal was based
on the opinion that the arrival OF
Iran government troops in the
province would provoke bloodshed
Both the United States and
Britain have dispatched notes to
Moscow on the situation, the United
States suggesting withdrawal of all
Allied occupation troops from Iran

be given freedom of movement. The

Winds Message
Before Pearl Hurbor
BY ]. A. OLEARY and
CARTER BROOKE JONES.


American military experts took
part in discussing joint war
plans with the British early in
l941, both in Washington and at
Singapore, but none of the con-
versations committed this coun-
try to go to war, the Pearl Har-
Dor Investigating Committee was
told today.
The only plan growing out of these
discussions that was ever approved
by the late President Roosevelt was
a hemisphere defense program
worked out with Canada. Committee
Counsel william D. Mitchell brought
out.
Much of the mystery surrounding
the winds" messages Japan was
supposed to have sent out in the
guise of weather reports before Pearl
Harbor, warning her diplomats Of
war with the United States, also was
dispelled today by Mr. Mitchell.
He said investigation to date
leaves him with grave doubt the
Japanese ever sent a winds" mes
sage until the afternoon OF Decem-
ber 7, after Pearl Harbor had been
attacked, and then only to inform
her diplomats she was going to war
against England also.
Gen. Gerow Goes on Stand.
AS 1t. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow,
former chief of the War Plans Di-
vision, took the stand, Mr.. Mitchell
sought to clear up the references
that have been made to the exist
ence of so-called American-Brit-
ish-Dutch bloc for joint military
action before the United States was
attacked.
Mr.. Mitchell introduced corre-
spondence showing that American
British war plans we're drawn up in
conferences here between January
and March 194i, for use in the event
this country should be drawn into
the war. but were not approved by
President Roosevelt.
In April, 1941, it was brought out,
American Army and Navy officers
joined in discussion of technical war
plans at Singapore, but Gen. Gerow
testified these plans were never ap-
proved by the Army Chief of Staff
or the Chief of Naval Operations,
"and so far as I know never went
to the President"
so, that of the three plans dis
cussed, the Canadian was the only
one ever approved by the Presi-
dent?" Mr.. Mitchell asked.
That is correct" Gen. Gerow
replied.

Mr.. Mitchell reminded Gen. Gerow
of a memorandum for the President

George C. Marshall, then Chief of

then chief of naval operations, on
the Far Eastern situation, in which
mention was made of a certain line
of longitude and latitude having
been drawn across the Pacific be-
yond which the Japanese should not
be permitted to advance unhindered.
