TRUMAN HESITANT
ABOUT HOBBS BILL

WASHINGTON, June 22-B -
President Truman was reported to-
day as undecided what to do about
the Hobbs Labor "anti-racketeer-
ing" bill although many of his
friends on capitol hill said they
believed he would let it become
law.
Officials who discussed the mat
ter with the President after the
senate unexpectedly passed the
measure yesterday said they gain
ed the impression Mr.. Truman
would like to sign it but remains
dubious about it's effect without an
amendment labor organizations
had suggested.
Denouncing the bill as "anti-
labor in its existing form, the CLIO
proposed last week that it be
amended to provide specific ex-
emptions from the measures
felony penalties for legitimate
labor activities such as picketing.
The President himself had sug-
gested the same sort of provision
When he vetoed the Case bill on
tanning the identical wording of
the Hobbs measure.

|PESSIMISM CLOUDS
CHINA PEACE TALK
Chances Dim For Early
Conclusion To Internal
Chinese Strife

NANKING, June 22-P-Chlna's
| peace-seeking committee of three
met today in an atmosphere OF pes
| simism unrevealed by extension OF
the Manchurian truce to June 80.
1t was generally expected that
the committee-of which U. S.
| General Marshall is the neutral
| member-might reach agreement
on some points. But the mutual
distrust strongly voiced in Chinese
| Communist and government quar-
tiers dampened hopes of a general
| settlement of China's internal
strife.
They were further dampened by
word from Changchun that the
American branch of executive
(truce) headquarters had been
fatty refused permission to send
cease-fire teams into eight Com
munist-held areas of Central and
Northern Manchuria.
Associated Press Correspondent
Tom Ma sterson, in a dispatch from
the M%anchurian capital, said the
Red commander at Hardin also
rejected executive headquarters
request to permit the dispatch of
American observers into the Com
munlst areas.
Masterson said the headquarters
delegation, led by U. S. Col. Ray
mond Tour-Tillot of Lindsay, Calf,
which flew to Hardin Friday to see
Communist Gen. Lin Piao, was
courteously treated and lavishly
banqueted. General Lin was firm,
however, in his rejection of the
delegations requests, and tour
Tillot's party flew back to Chang
chun.
Lin was reported to have told
Tour-Tillot he would not allow
%cease-fire teams or observers.
even neutral observers, into Com
munist-held territory until a settle
ment was reached in Marking.
1t was precisely In Marking that
a settlement seemed as far off as
at any time since President Tru-
mans special envoy began his
arduous peace-promoting assign
ment.
1t has been no secret here that
Marshall's biggest task is not in
persuading his fellow-membecs of
the committee to affix their sigma
lures to some impressive docu-
ment, such as the January 10 truce
agreement-since violated.
The far bigger task is convincing
government leaders particularly
Chang Kai-shek's generals-that
the Communists are not signing
tongue-in-cheek, and to make the
Communists believe that the Gen
eralissimo and his ~strategists are
not planning new attacks under
cover of the peace negotiations.

0PA, DRAFT LAW
DUE FOR ACTION
Keystone Segments Of Tru.
man-Backed Legisla-
ton To Face Test

WASHINGTON, June 23.-P)-
keystone segments of the Truman
legislative Observation-Disclosures
of OPA and the draft-come up
next week for congressional judg-
ments that will have heavy political
repercussions whichever way they
go.
Leaders in both Democratic and
Republican camps were in agree
ment today that what they and the
President do before next week
end will have big voter signifi-
canoe. But as they frightened belts
for a week of heavy sessions or
those and other must" measures,
their estimates of how the voters
will take it varied right along with
their voting plans.
The fight over OPA is regarded
as the most significant politically.
Public interest in this has reached
a near-fever pitch and terrific
pressure is being put on both key
congressman and the President re-
garding the outcome.
Also on tap r final votes on a
batch Of vital appropriation bills
and on legislation extending war
time authority for federal alloca-
ton of scarce materials.
The pressure is on in all these
cases because the present laws
run out at the end of the fiscal
year, June 30.
In addition, decisions may come
on: ID domestic control of atomic
energy; co President Truman's
proposed reorganization of federal
agencies; and 90 new labor legls-
lation. Scheduled action on the
British loan bill has been post
poned a week.
In the OPA dispute, the main
question seems to be whether con-
gress will adopt a measure which
Mr.. Truman will sign. g.
He has expressed disapproval OF
the legislation as it now stands, and
many observers expect him to veto
the final version. which is being
worked out by Senate and House
c~onfereeS.

INSIDE STORY OF
MUTT TREK TOLD
Editor Says Dangerous
Arab Leaders House
Guarded By 500

CAIRO. June 22.-U.D-Haj Amir
AL Hussein, Mufti of Jerusalem
came to Egypt without prior
knowledge of the Egyptian govern
ment. he was quoted as saying
TODAY by a close friend of King
Farouk.
The inside story of the MuftIs
flight to Egypt was presented by
Mustapha Amen Bey, editor OF
the Egyptian weekly Akhbar FL
Yom. and close friend OF the
Egyptian monarch.
The Multi was quoted as saying
that he picked Egypt as his place
Of refuge because Egypt is the
leading Arab country, the seat OF
the Arab league and the heart of
the Arab movement. l also de-
cided on Egypt because l regard
Farouk as a brave Leader who
looked on the Palestine problem
as an Egyptian affair"
The Mufti's residence is now
surrounded by 500 men, armed
with bren guns and also equipped
with armored cars, the account
revealed. Several other residences
are being guarded similarly to
camouflage the Mufti's real where
abouts which will not be announced
until security precautions are com
plete.
The Multi said he arrived ir
Cairo accompanied by his secre-
tary. Ali Rushdi Imam. His beard
had been shaved and he wore a
black suit, overcoat and grey hat.
He drove by taxi to an apartment
which he had previously arranged
for in the Cairo suburbs.
On the evening of his arrival
he drove to the center of Cairo
and strolled the streets. He walk
ed past the Press Syndicate build
ing, crowded with newspapermen
specializing on his whereabouts.
He also strolled past the famous
Groppis tearooms, filled with
Syrians and Lebanese chatting
about the Mufti's escape and later
sat down in a public cafe and drank
coffee while reading newspaper
accounts of his arrival in Damas-
Gus.
Later, he went to Alexandria
where he purchased Moslem cloth
ing and then returned to Cairo.
He was tempted to see his son,
Salah Ell Din, a student at Azhar
university but decided against it
in fear he might be detected.
