.AtomicUni
 AII-civiIion

Washington, July 25-(UP)-Sen- ate and House conferees voted to- day to create an all-civilian con- mission to control and develop ato- mic energy.
 House members gave in to Senate inSistence on the all-civilian con- mission, receding from amendments which would have required at least one and not more than two mem bers of the five-man group to be from the armed forces.
 In return for the House conces- sions, the Senate conferees agreed to House provision requiring the director of military application un- der the commission to be mem Der of the armed forces.
 Sen. Brien McMahon, CD.-Conn.) said that another meeting of the conference committee would be held later in the day in the hope oi reaching final agreement on the legislation.
 McMahon told reporters that the conferees discussed another House provision giving the armed forces authority to manufacture atomic materials if directed by the Pres ident. He indicated that a vote or this proposal may be taken yet to- day.

US. Sues Cob Owners

Chicago, July 9 - (UP)-The Government filed suit today against six taxicab operating and supplies organizations, charging them with conspiring to restrict sale of vehl- cles for cabs in Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York and Minneapolis.
 Attorney General Tom C. Clark said at Washington that a principal objective of the suit was "dissolu- tion of the cab-operating monopoly in Chicago so as to permit others, including veterans, an opportunity to engage in such business"
 The investigation which led tc the Governments suit was touched off earlier this year when some 400 veterans drove to Washington from Chicago in almost 150 taxicabs to protest against their inability to get cab licenses.
 The Government charged that the actions of the organizations and an individual, Morris Markin, Kala ma7oo, Mich, president of the Checker Cab Manufacturing Con- pany, were in violation of the Sher- man Antitrust Act

Lamb Back OnCounters

Lamb returned to meat counters today, after an absence of several weeks, and drew away Waterbury shoppers interest from the higher priced beef, veal and pork.
 Cuts of lamb were selling at one downtown store at 39 cents a pound while choice legs of lamb were priced at 59 cents a pound.
 Meats of all types were plentiful today, and the usual rush of GUS toners at meat counters was lack ing. Prices held generally the same level as in the past few days, all though a few decreases were noted or beef which is now very abund- ant.
 Poultry, which had risen in price when the OPA went out, was selling today at the old OPA ceiling. Cut up poultry was abundant, with breasts and legs selling at the low of 79 cents a pound.

schler Airports by car. But al though they knew that the 26 min utes needed for the car trip would outweigh the advantage in speed derived from the short 20 minutes the Lodestar needed for air travel. They wondered somewhat anxiously whether the helicopter actually would come out ahead.
 As they flew over a heavy sea of white clouds, they peered through occasional breaks for signs of the bug like S-51. But, not until the party reached the Pratt and Whit ney lawn did the helicopter come into sight.
 Which" asserted Sikorsky when they saw the S-5l, proves that the helicopter is the most efficient mode Of transportation in travelling dis tances under 100 miles"

JehoI Reds Map Drives

Nanking, July 25-(UP)-Govern ment spokesmen said today that Chinese Communists in the north ern province of Jehol-armed with Japanese war equipment-were pre- pairing a large-scale offensive to off, set Nationalist victories in North Klangsu, where they lost the im- portant base of Jukao.
 Jehol province controls approaches to the vital Peiping- -Mukden Rail- way. Large numbers of Communist units hold positions in the Kalgan sector, some as near to Peiping as the Hankow pass-approXimately 30 miles to the north.
 Other large Communist forces are entrenched in Charchar province, north of Jehol, and have been pounding the Tatung area, between Peiping and Kweisui, with seized Japanese weapons.
 Information Minister Peng Hsueh- Pei said a new Communist offensive in Jehol and Shantung was imnin- ent, indicating a Nationalist couup er-offensive would follow.

Truman s Signature Awaited
 Senote Passes
 Measure 53 to 26
 In Long Session

Washington, July 25 - (UP)-The White House said today that '.in all probability" President Truman will an- nounce his decision on the price control bill at his , P. M. (EDT) news conference to- day.
 Press Secretary Charles c. Ross said MT. Truman will send a message to Congress or the subject sometime late today or tomorrow explaining his action.
 The President is expected to ap. prove the measure.
 The Senate passed the House-ap- proved bill by vote of 53 to 26 at the end of 12-hour session. AS soon as it is signed, OPA will re- store ceilings on many items, al- though most major foods, including meats, dairy products and grain, will remain without ceilings for the time being
 May Name Board Today
 MT. Truman may nominate the three board members today. If he does the Senate was prepared to confirm them by nightfal so that the pricing machinery can hit high gear as fast as possible
 OPA, anticipating presidential approval of the bill, already has prepared 8 series of pricing orders, but officials frankly predicted & price snarl for several months. Complicated formulas limit. ing OPA'S powers to price manu- factured goods will delay issuance Of many price orders while OPA l calculates changes which will be generally upward
 The impact of the bill on the na- tons economy was reviewed last night at an hour-long White House conference attended by MT. Tru- man and his top advisers. They in- cluded Reconversion Director John R. Steelman, OPA Chief Paul Por- ter, Secretary of Agriculture Chn- ton P. Anderson and Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace.
 They had no report to make afterwards, but every indication pointed to MT. Truman's accept- ance of the compromise OPA bill. Given Month to Watch Meats, dairy products and grain are among foods which automatic ally would be placed under price control on Aug. 21 unless the con- trol board rules otherwise. Poultry and eggs would remain exempted rom price ceilings until the board restores controls.
 A major question which remains unanswered is whether the OPA will be able to roll back prices to the level of June 30.
 Some senators said the OPA will not be able to return prices to June 30 levels but will have to al- low present prices-although higher than old OPA ceilings-to continue. These senators also said business men who have purchased at high prices in the no-OPA period must be allowed to recover their costs.
 Among possible appointees to the control board are former Economic Stabllizer Chester Bowles, former Price Administrator Leon Hender- son. former Deputy Price Admin lstrator James F. Brow1lee and Richard Fields, chief OPA counsel

Greenwich Police Hold Negro Suspect in Ne1u York Staying

Greenwich, July 25 -GUP)- A suspect was arrested today in con- nection with the staying of Mrs William J. Logan. Port Washing ton, N. Y, and the rape of her 26- year-old daughter, Marjory Jeanne.
 A Negro, who identified himself as Carnell Barnes, 30, Philadelphia, Pa, was removed by police from a freight train. Chief John Gleason said he fitted somewhat the descrip- tion of the killer.
 Barnes was spotted this morning on a l25-car freight train which was Jagged down. Patrolman My ron Flood fired two shots to indi- cate Barnes whereabouts to other officers who then made the arrest.
 Barnes was wearing brown pants and greenish gray shirt, which tallied with descriptions, but Chief Gleason said his complexion was thought a bit darker than that of the wanted assailant who was the object of an 1l-state hunt. Gleason said Barnes had a criminal record.
 The Negro was held on a techni- cal charge of trespassing on railroad property pending arrival of Long Island detectives.

Palestine  Cracking
 Hogono Turning
 On Extremists
 For Violent Act

Jerusalem, July 25.-(UP)-The anti-British front of Jewish under ground forces in Palestine appeared to be cracking today under hint of a new campaign against extremists, with Hagana turning against the so-called stern gang and Irgun Zvai Leumi.
 Authoritative sources said they expected the bombing of the King David Hotel to touch off new British roundup of Jews similar to that against terrorism and an- archy" which began June 29.
 Collective fines against the Jews, wholesale arrests, and other sane tions were reported unofficially to be in the offing unless the Jewish community co-operateS in search for the saboteurs who blew up the King David Hotel, killing about 125 persons.
 63 Dead in Blast
 An official announcement said 63 were known dead, 55 were miss ing and hope for the lives of any of them was about gone. Forty seven others were injured seriously. Danger developed that other parts of the hotel might collapse from the effects of the blast which wrecked one wing.
 A few hours after reports circulat- ed that the British were preparing for aggressive action, authoritative sources said the Hagana organiza- ton was about to pledge it's full CO., operation in any campaign against alleged terroristic elements in the Stern and Irgunist groups.
 Responsible observers agreed that if the reports were borne out, in- ternecine strife among the Jews themselves was virtually certain.
 Threaten Penalties
 Informed quarters expected the British authorities to serve virtual ultimatum on the Jews that unless they help round up the saboteurs within their ranks by a certain time broad penalties affecting the Jewish economic structure may be imposed
 The Jewish quarter of Jerusalem was increasingly jittery. In addition to the circulation of predictions about what the British might do soldiers in full war kit maintained patrols as the search for the King David saboteurS went on.
 Arab leaders were expected to de- mand the dissolution of the Jewish Agency, whose leaders were seized in the recent campaign. Jewish leaders who still were at liberty also were conferring repeatedly on the new crisis.

TaxGroup Asks Drop

Washington, July 25-UP)-The House Republican Postwar Tax Study Committee today called for 20 percent reduction in individual income taxes in 1947.
 At the same time Rep. John Ta- Der, N. Y., ranking Republican on the House Appropriations Commit- tee, urged a S10,000, 100000 reduc- tion in Federal spending which the tax study group said would make possible the handsome" tax drop.
 This, Taber said, would make pos sible not only balanced budget but would provide surplus to be- gin cutting down the national debt.
 The Republican tax group said that Canada is preparing to reduce taxes 23 percent in 1947 and said the only reason the U. s. couldn't do likewise would be because of continued New Deal spending and waste"

Euen Beats Lodestar Helicopter Wins Door, to- Door Race

East Hartford, July 25-(UP)- Brother, you shoulda stood in bed" bystander greeted Pilot Charles Cowan when he landed his United Aircraft Lockheed Lodestar here 15 minutes after a Sikorsky helicopter easily won factory door-to-door race. Ruefully, Cowan agreed
 But inventor Igor Sikorsky of the S-51 and UA officials were far from rueful today. The helicopter's 3l minute hop from the lawn of the UA Sikorsky plant in Bridgeport to the UA Pratt and Whitney division here proved that "in short distance flights like this 5l-air mile run it actually is faster to use helicop- ter" said Sikorsky.
 Other participants in the Trace were not inclined to disagree.

McDuff Awaits Job Status
 Detailed Orders
 Anticipated Here
 When Bill Is Low

OPA staff members in Waterbury. on the job 'unoff1cially" for the past 3 l-2 weeks, awaited orders on their future job status today, as restoration of the OPA neared com- pletion. Both the OPA Rent and Ration Board officials anticipated detailed orders following the ex- pected signing of the new OPA bill by the President.
 Both the rent and ration staffs have continued work, despite the fact that their offices were divested of authority when the old OPA regulations went out of existence June 30.
 George McDuff, area rent admin istrator, said his staff was still working today on backlog ot eases pending when the OPA was abolished. The work was ordered by the regional OPA office in Bos- ton.
 The rent official said the staff members received pay cheeks last week for the last week in June, but no payments have been made as yet for work this month. He said checks have always been two weeks behind, so that payment for the first week in July would not be due until this week.
 McDuff said he learned today that, additional funds from the OPA appropriation have been sent to several regional offices, including that in Boston which serves this area.
 In view of the cut in the OPA appropriation in the proposed new Congressional measure, it was gen. erally anticipated here that the To- cal OPA staffs may be decreased.
 McDuff said there have been few further complaints Of rent increases here. He said that reports from tenants, hit by rent boosts, died down" after the first week of this

(see CARSON story on Page

Ferguson asked that Maj.-Gen Alden H. Waitt, chief of Chemical Warfare Service, and Maj. Gen William N. Porter, former chief o1 Chemical Warfare Service, be called back before a special session of the Senate War Investigating Commit tee sometime today.
 Both have testified previously.
 Ferguson said the two should be questioned concerning the new dis closures before May testifies at 10 A. M. EDT tomorrow
 Young Carson is the son of Mur- ray Carson, described as the "brains" of the midwest munitions combine which received s78,000, 900 in war contracts and is now under investigation.
 The dismissal ordered for the son eventually was suspended, and Gar sson was returned to active duty after the European war ended. The War Department, in making the disclosures in answer to inquiries, said cancellation of the sentence was recommended by the court and that Mays intervention had no in- fluence.
 Revelation of Mays regard for young Carson was one more thread that tied the chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee to Dr. Henry and Murray Carson, key figures in the Midwest muni- tions combine that got s78,000, 900 worth of war contracts.
 May, after considerable delay, has agreed to testify at A. M. tomor- row before the Senate War Inves- dying the Garssons' tar profits and production record. On Tues day, the committee hears Rep. John Coffee, tD.-Wash.), testify about s2500 check he received from a Washington state war contractor.
 Mays testimony was expected to end the Carson phase of the in- quiry. The committed 1t was learned, plans to take short va cation and then start investigating Is cases of alleged war profiteer- ing connected with the govern ment's procurement program for lend lease. More than 300 percent profits are said to have been made on some of the contracts where middlemen subcontracted work for tools and hardware.
 The committee, however, promis- ed that in the meanwhile 1t would press a search to determine who manufactured defective 42-inch mortar shells that exploded pre- maturely, killing number of Amer ican soldiers who were firing the mortars. The shells were made by eight firms-the biggest of them a member of the Carson syndicate.

 I'd have given anything to win that race. But even doing the dis tance in 95 minutes, I just didn't have chance"
 Nor did he, said company official Henry Mooberry when he lazed in two hours and two minutes after the starting signal, the lone UA representative to make the trip by train.
 Despite it's cruising speed of 85 miles an hour, half that of the Iodestar, the S-51 bested the planes 46 minute air time because 1t took its passengers directly from one plant gate to the other.

Former U-Boat Joins |U. s. Navy Service

Portsmouth, N. H., July 25-(UP) The former German submarine U-3008, which surrendered to Allied forces in May, 1945, was an active part of the U. s. Navy today after becoming the first such vessel to be placed in service.
 Unnamed as yet, the craft was the first of several German sub marines which will be part of the U. s. fleet. Comdr. Everett H. Stein metz of New York assumed com- mand of the craft yesterday at brief ceremonies at the Portsmouth Navy Iaru.
