Early Congress OK
Likely for Truman 5
Atomic Energy Plans
fTert OF Presidents Message,
on Page A-20.J
y the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
President Truman's plans for
iron-clad domestic control of
atomic energy appeared headed
today toward early congressional
approval. .-,... -,
Majority Leader Barkley listed it
as very high priority" legislation
IN the Senate. But legislators made
1t plain at the same time that they
want hand in deciding how much
to tell the rest of the world about
the atomic bomb.
None disputed Mr.. Truman's
premise that the American. people
must use the knowledge we have.
won. not for the devastation of war.
but for the future welfare of hui
manity."
Some doubt was voiced, however.
that his hope of outlawing the bomb
as weapon of war could be at
tanned.
Calls for Commission,
Mr.. Truman separated the coun-
try's biggest enigma into home and
international classifications in a
message to Congress yesterday. He
called first for creation of a presi-
dential-appointed commission to:
l. Control all mineral sources of
atomic energy, plants and stock
piles. -
2. CondIct all necessary research,
experience and operations on fur
ther development for military, in
dustrial, scientific or medical pur-
poses"
B. Issue licenses for private op-
eratlons based on "a policy of wide
spread distribution of peacetime
products on equitable terms which
VIII prevent monopoly" ~.
q. Permit production, import and
export of energy producing SUBJ
stances only under conditions 1t
prescribes.
5. Set up rules of censorship for
information about material and
equipment under its jurisdiction.
Recommendations Later.
Mr.. Truman stressed that i'm
mediate action is necessary to pre-
serve the Nations huge investment
IN brains and plants-the army of
scientists assembled to work out the
bomb and the plants in Washing
ton and Tennessee, where it was
produced.
All of this sounded pretty rea-
sonable to most members of Con-
gress, but many found room for
argument in the Presidents brief
outline of his thinking along in
ternational lines. He told his news
conference yesterday he will have
detailed recommendation later on
the world aspects.
Meanwhile, he said:
l. THE hope of civilization" lies
In international arrangements toI
renounce the use and development
of the atomic bomb while encourag-
ing the use of atomic energy for
peaceful means.
2, He will start talks with Britain
and Canada-then with other ma
tions-ahout an agreement under
which cooperation might replace
rivalry in the field of atomic power"
3. These discussions will not be
concerned with disclosures relating
to the manufacturing processes

Surplus Goods Offered
To Local Governments
Are Called Inferior

The Government was accused to-
day of offering inferior or wornout'
surplus materials to State and local
municipalities at OPA ceiling prices,
while at the same time making ma
terials available to commercial chan
nels at sharply reduced prices.
Alvin j. Holm, president of the
National Institute of Government
Purchasing, made the charge be-
fore the Senate War Investigating
Committee, which is investigating
surplus property disposal. The wit
ness explained that his organization
represented purchasing agents of To-
cal government and educational
groups in all parts of the country.
The administration of the pro-
visions of the surplus property law
Is a record of constant discrimina-
tion against local governmental
agencies Mr.. Holm declared. so
far as local government units are
concerned, surplus property disposal
in this country simply does not exist
today"
Lists Of Needs Ignored.
The local governments were re-
quired by the Surplus Property
Board last June to file statements
of need with the disposal agencies.
The statements were filed, he said,
but have been completely ignored
ever since"
Meanwhile, Representative Edith
Nourse Rogers, Republican, OF
Massachusetts, said on the House
floor she is trying to cut the red
tape which is tying up the sale of
the Governments used cars and
trucks to veterans.
THE inefficient handling of the
disposal of used cars and trucks is
causing great bitterness among vet
Grams who were promised by Con-
greSs to receive the first chance in
the purchase of surplus materials,
she said.
In this connection. Surplus Prop
erty Administrator w. Stuart Sym
ington planned to leave Washington

Study Fire Protection
for s.. Louis Parish

requesting fire protection from
the Mount Clemens Fire depart
ment was referred to Clerk JOS
eph H. Matthews who has been
asked to study the matter in
reference to the effect it will
have on the fire insurance rates
in the city.
Matthews was asked to con-
tact the Michigan Inspection bu-
reau and ask it TO make report
on the matter.
Mayor Albert Wagner voiced
approval of the petition citing
the fact that many members Of
the parish are Mount Clemens
tax payers and spirit of CO.
operation must prevail.
II was felt however by the
City Commission that a detailed
study of the matter should be
made so as not to endanger the
safety of the residents of the
city and so as not to establish a
precedent which may serve as
an encumbrance to the local fire
department.

Plans Pour In
Management and Labor
Offer Mony ldeos

The automobile induStry's re-
conversion remained one of the
nations warmeSt domestic sub
jects today with both labor and
management at bat with fresh
ideas.
Management offered a plan TO
speed the placement of vital ma
chine tools on civilian produc-
ton in instances where they can
be spared from the armament
output.
Worried over unemployment.
labor expressed the view that
more than the suggested figure
of 100000 cars could be pro-
duced this year.
From still another source came
recommendation for changes
in the War Surplus Disposal Act
10 assure quick government sale
or lease of its war plants and
machinery.
The Automotive Council for
w ar Production. representing
more than 500 companies Of the
industry, announced in Detroit
the adoption for reconversion of
the machine tools listing serv-
ice which functloned so ably
when the industry changed over
to war production.
Under this "Self-aid" plan fac
tories would assist one another
through information pools TO ac-
quire urgently needed tools and
other equipment.
Before il becomes operative,
however, the military services
must approve. War contractors
are forbidden to divulge infor-
nation on id e government
equipment in their plants.
George Romncy. chairman Of
the Automotivc Council, point
cd out it was this same plan
which proved so effective in
speeding war production after
Pearl Harbor.
In Washington President r. j.
Thomas Of the United Automo-
bile Workers (CIO) argued that
considerably more STEEL than
that needed for 100000 cars this

L
portant leafy vegetables, is
ideally suited for the small VIC
tory garden. Since il is definite
ly coolweather crop, and be-
cause it quickly goes to seed in
hot weather. it should be planted
in spring as soon as conditions
permit. A second sowing in late
August will provide crops fol
autumn picking.
Spinach natures In As to Sc
days, regardless of the type OF
soil in which it is grown. Yields
are best on neutral sandy loan
we'll fertilized and lined in ad-
vance of planting. Spinach is
heavy feeder, and for this rea-
son, two to three pounds of fer
tilizer for each so feet of row
are needed, and should be thor
oughly mixed with the soil.
Planting long rows of spinach
IS common mistake as the yield
IS far more than can be used al
one time. Three sowings at two
week intervals, in eight to To-
foot rows, provides a continuous
crop, if cut regularly, for a fam
lily of five. Two packets of seed
is enough for 40 feet of row. Pur-
chase only disease-resistant va
rieties such as Virginia Savoy,
King of Denmark and Juliana.
Seed should be sown rather
sparsely, because seedlings, when
an inch tall, are thinned to stand
six inches apart in the row, un-
less the gardeners wife prefers
to use the plants before they are
full grown, in which case thin
ming to three inches and remov-
al of every other plant when half
grown is recommended. Rows
should be Is inches apart.
Seed is covered with quar-
ter-inch of soil firmed down
with the back of the rake or the
hoe. Side dressing-placing s.
10-5, 6-l0-4 or similar fertilizer
in shallow furroW alongside
the rows when the plants are
one-third grow - increases
quality and quantity.
Diseases of spinach have been
largely eliminated by develop
ment of blight resistant varieties.
However, as a safeguard, many
gardeners treat the seed with
red copper oxide before sowing.
Spring spinach is troubled by j
beet-leaf miner, an insect kept
under control by busting with
rotenone or pyrethrum. Aphids
are troublesome at times or
autumn-grown spinach, getting
on the underside of the leaves
where they are difficult to kill
Examine the leaves at frequent
intervals and dust with 3 per
cent nicotine in lime or spray
with nicotine sulfate as soon as
their presence is observed.
New Zealand spinach, plant
III no way related to the common
spinach, is recommended for
those who want good greens
throughout the summer. 1t can
be grown in heat which spinach
cannot tolerate. Constant cut
ting back of the growing tips
provides continuous supply
Seed may be sown indoors now
and the seedlings set out to
stand 20 to "a inches apart in
rows 80 inches apart, or seed
may be sown directly in the gar
den and the plants thinned out
when two inches tall.

Formula for Minor
Wage Boosts Sought
By Davis and vinson
By the Associated Press.

by tne Associated kfeSS.
War Labor Board Chairman Will
liam H. Davis and Economic Sta
bilization Director Fred M. Vinson
are trying to work out fringe
formula which would determine
what minor wage hikes can be
granted without endangering cost
of-living controls.
Mr.. Vinson had proposed that such
income boosts-for vacations, shift
differentials and the nke-could be
granted by the board only after
consultation with OPA on whether
price increases would be required
Mr.. Davis said the proposal was
"impracticable."
But ne disclosed that he is seek
ing Mr.. Wilson'S approval of this
plan:
Certain stabilizing limits would be
set up for each Of the minor raise
categories. The War Labor Board
then could grant concessions up to
those limits and Mr.. Vinson could
approve them without fear of rock
ing the overall stabilization policy
Mr.. Wilson's views on the new
plan have not been disclosed.
Mr.. Davis described as "unwork-
able" Mr.. Wilson's proposal that
henceforth the board could not
grant increases without prior con-
sultation with OPA on whether price
rises would be required. Under the
proposal, the boards decisions would
have to be worded to make it clear
that the adjustments would be nulli-
fed If price ceilings were exceeded
