u. n. Delegates Study
Proposal for Secret
Meetings Of Council
By the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, May 15.-Security
Council members today were Study
ing recommendations from their
rules experts which would give the
council ultra privacy in delibera-
tions at any time and the power to
withhold selected top secret" inteln-
gence from the 40 United Nations
not represented In the Council.
The experts proposals, and a
United, States resolution whose
adoption would block Albania's i'm
mediate effort toward membership
IN the United Nations, come up for
debate in the Council tomorrow.
In the new section of "a rules for
adoption by the Council the COM
mittee of experts on procedure pro-
posed that the U. MS peace keep
ing arm should meet privately
whenever it desired and also adopt
classification of information along
military intelligence lines.
Adoption Expected.
The membership of the experts
committee is identical, nation by
nation, with the makeup of the IL
nation Security Council, and it was
expected the Council would adopt
the rules along the lines proposed
by the committee.
The proposed rules provide that
the Council, in meeting privately,
may order the record restricted to
one single copy alone" which would
be intrusted to the U. N. secretary
general for safekeeping, but "the Sc
curity Council may at any time
grant access to this record to au-
thorized representatives of other
members of the U. NJ"
Council observers widely interpre-
ted this to mean that the Council
mayor may not-give information
on private evidence and proceedings
to any outside the II governments
represented in the Council and the
secretary general.
.- Records May Be Reviewed.
One proposal provides that the
secretary general shall submit a list
of confidential records and docu-
ments each year for the Council to
determine which of these shall be
made available to other members Of
the U. NJ, which shall be made public
and which shall continue to remain
confidential.
The Council already has met in
private under provisional rules prin-
cipally concerning the Iranian issue
after Soviet Delegate Andrei A.
Gromyko walked. out on its open
deliberations. Australia protested
the private meetings but was rep
resented at them.
The committee of experts, antici-
pating action tomorrow on the
United States proposal to defer
consideration of any new members
for the U. N. until late summer, de-
cided an applicant should be re-
quired to sign q document affirming
its intentions of conforming with
all the principles of q. N.

 Tam Acting
Oregon Senator Says Rail Strike End Known Be-
 fore Noon Saturday

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Sena- tor Morse (R-Ore) told the Senate today President Truman put on "one of the cheapest exhibitions of ham acting I have ever seen" in announcing to a joint session of Congress Saturday that the rail strike has ended.

 lie noted that Mir Truman had interrupted his address, in which he urged speedy action on the em- ergency legislation. to announce settlement of the strike.
 Cheap Exhibition
 T think that was one of the cheapest exhibitions of ham acting I have ever seen," Morse shouted
 There was a burst of handclap- ping from spectators in crowded galleries and Senator Huffman (D-Ohio ,- then presiding officer. rapped loudly for order.
 Downey went ahead with his speech and a few minutes later Senator Hatch (D-M) got the floor to protest Morse's remarks. He de- inanded they be stricken from the record.
 Huffman announced that the re- marks would be stricken without objection but this was blocked by Morse who jumped up to protest.
 Would Repeat Remarks
 If can get the floor again I'll repeat them" Morse said.
 Hatch, close friend of MT. Truman when the latter served in the Senate, said:
 T don't think any Senator re- gardless of whatever party, has the right to call the President of the United States ham actor"
 Hatch added that it was his in formation that only purely tenta- tive offers had been made prior to MT Truman's appearance before Congress.
 Morse later told reporters, off the Senate floor. that he had 'vie- finite information from the broth- erhoods" that they had delivered to President Truman's advisers at the White House before noon Saturday their acceptance of the terms upon which the strike finally was settled.

CIVIL WAR IN
 CHINA MAY BE SOON AT END
General Marshall in New Move 10 Reopen Peace
 Negotiation Confab

HAWKING, May 27.-Chiang Kali shek's forces pushed north today toward a possible new battle with Chinese Communists at Harbin Manchuria, while U. S. General Marshall prepared the groundwork for reopening of peace negotiations by the Ceneralissimo.
 Dispatches to independent and pro- Government newspapers place Government troops in the vicinity of Tehhwei, 95 miles southwest of Communist-held Harbin, Tehhwei is 60 miles northeast of Changchun, Manchurian capital city retaken easily by Chaing's forces on Thurs day as the Communists withdrew.
 Recapture of Changchun and the renewal of direct negotiations be- tween opposing factions brought tke optimistic prediction from the Peiping newspaper Hsin Min Pao that a general truce would be ar- ranged by Tuesday.
 All observers agreed, however, that much will depend upon Chiangs rext move. He and Madame Chiang were expected to return today from conference with Chiang's generals at Mukden.
 This is the turning point for the Government" Wang Ping-nan Communist leader told the Asso- ciated Press, "and it must now de- eide whether it witshe sto solve the Manchurian question peacefully or through continued civil war"
 If the Government troops push teyond Changchun, he added, the Communists will interpret this as a sign the Government wishes to enlarge the civil strife, lin which case it is inevitable we should re- sist."

RUSSIAWAvES RED FLAG AZ BRITAIN, U. }.
MoIotov Charges Bloc Aimed at Soviet Broke
 Up Paris Meeting

MOSCOW, May 27. Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov asserted today that a United States and British bloc" had waged an offen- sive against Russia at the four power meeting of Foreign Ministers in Paris.
 He declared that the proposals of Secretary of States James F. Byrnes for writing European peace treaties in the United Nations As sembly if there was no agreement this summer among the four lead ing nations, was contrary to deci- sions made at the Potsdam confer ence of President Truman, Prime Minister Attlee of Great Britain and Premier Stalin.
 Russia, he said, would not be forced into acceptance of British and American proposals by threats and intimidation
 "The prestige of the Security Council (of the U-N) has already been subjected to grave trials" ]" Molotov said in a full page state ment published in the official newspaper Pravda, giving his view of the recent Paris meeting of Byrnes, British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault and him. self.
 Pressure, Threats, Intimidation"
 The suggestion that the United Nations consider the draft of peace treaties, Molotov said, Ifs one more attempt to break up the procedure of concerted work which was estab- lished in recent years and to utilize methods of pressure, threats and intimidation"
 He declared that American and British capital was trying to sub due nations weakened by the war.
 He said that Britain and the United States, grouping themselves in a bloc, gave the conference no chance of reaching an agreed de- cision" on the disposition of Ital- ian colonies or on the matter of Italian separations.
 Certainly no self-respecting AL lied state will allow the will of an- other state to be imposed upon it." Molotov continued.
 Just Self Respecting State

By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Thisc column is indebted to Judge Thurman Arnold, former Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division, for additional information regard ing the important question of bringing labor unions under the sherman Antitrust Act.
 Judge Arncld, who did more to enforce the antitrust laws than any one man in history, made four noteworthy attempts to prosecute labor unions as monopolies. First and most important was the Hutchinson case, brought against Big Bill Hutchinson, head of the AFL carpenters union, now, though not then, an intimate friend of John L. Lewis.
 The Anheuser- Busch brewery Tn St. Louis was erecting a new build- ing, in the course of which some machinery was installed by mem- bers of the machinists union Whereupon, the carpenters object ed.

 Result: AnheusG-Busch didn't get their building built, and there was an attempted boycott of An heuser- Busch beer by the carpen- ters all over the country.
