Eisenhower Discounts
Arctic as War Scene
BY the Associoied Press

LONDON, Oct. 12.-Gen. Eisen-
hover declared last night he be-
lieved temperatures would preclude
use of present-day armies in the
Arctic and said he foresaW no pos
sibility of the frozen wastes ever
becoming the scene of battles such
as have been fought in France and
Germany.
Replying to questions at a news
conference, the United States Army
Chief of Staff said current interest
in the Arctic stems from its impor-
tance as the source of weather con-
ditions over much of the globe.
He added that with the develop
ment of big airplanes people have
discovered that the closest route to
countries in the Northern Hemi-
sphere is over the Arctic.
American naval and military ex-
petitions in the north, some in CO.
operation with Canadian forces
have been criticized by the Soviet
press and radio.
Gen. Eisenhower came to London
yesterday after a week of private
engagements in Scotland He said
he will return to Germany tomor-
row to inspect American troops and
that tentative plans call for visits
to Austria and Northern Italy.

Battery Shortage May Bring
Many Idle Cars This Winter

Auto Parts g. Machine Co., 2106
Fourteenth street NV, warned that
many motorists might be stranded
if their batteries fail during the
coming winter-a season when bat
terry trouble is at its peak.
Dealers are willing to travel hum
dreds of miles and pay practically
any price for storage battery,
he declared. He quoted a battery
manufacturers agent as predicting
prices would skyrocket to $50 by
next June.
Need in New Cars Seen.
John Ellison, store manager Of
the Phelps-Roberts Corp, said new
car dealers already were seeking
batteries in anticipation of the pos
sibility that cars would be shipped
from factories this winter with their
batteries missing.
At Croker General Tire Co., a
General Battery dealer, Manager w
F. Cummings expressed fears that
the shortage would last for many
months.
He pointed out that battery man
ufacturers usually accumulate a
stockpile during the summer
months, when sales are low, for
delivery during the fall and winter.
This summer, however, the lead
shortage brought production to a
virtual standstill, he explained.
Evening star., 1946-10-12

Many automobiles may stand idle
this winter because of a critical
shortage of batteries, if the gloomy
predictions of some local auto deal
ers come true.
Unless Nation wide shortage of
lead and other raw materials is soon
relieved, even the new cars may be
coming through with batteries miss
ing, it was anticipated.
A check of dealers here revealed
the situation was already acute. OF
10 retail distributors questioned,
only two had any batteries in stock.
The others reported they had been
completely out of batteries for pas
senger cars for a month or more,
and few could predict when their
stock would be replenished.
Wholesale Shelves Empty.
Wholesale distributors were no
better off. George F. CheSeldine,
manager of E. J. Payne, an Exide

out of batteries since the first of

.0PA and Steel Firm
.Gird for Fight Over
.Bufcherinq Of Steers
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 12-While a
herd of Texas steers grazed idly on
a pasture in Flushing, their owners
the General Steel Products Corp.
and the OPA squared of today for
a legal battle to decide their fate
The 38 steers were purchased BY
Thomas F. Kearns, president of the
company, to provide meat for his
$50 employees, but the OPA invoked
a ruling which said emergency
slaughtering was banned for groups
not previously in the livestock bust
ness who purchase cattle to obtain
meat outside OF customary trade
sources.
Harold N. Cohen, OPA regional
enforcement executive, explained
that the idea behind the order was
that the small amount of meat
available could be distributed most
equitably through customary trade
circles.
But John J. McGinty, attorney
for the corporation, said yester-
day:
mo law-OPA or otherwise has
been brought to our attention which
prohibits any individual or corpora
ton from contracting with another
individual or corporation, even
though those services might involve
the slaughtering of a few cattle.
THE corporation doesn't intend
to have a couple Of cowboys out
there lassoing them. They weren't
bought for a rodeo."
Asserting he was prepared to fight
the OPA edit, Mr.. McGinty said
ne merely was attempting to show
to the OPA the folly of. its bureau
cratic directives particularly In this
case" adding the firm was not "aim-
ing to upset the control program.

Meader, regional administrator, an
nounced his office had issued its
final warning in the matter.

necessary if our investigators find q

Unions and NLRB Meet
Today 10 Plan Election
In Pittsburgh Dispute
BY the Associated Prs.s

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 12.-Repre-
sentatives of four unions and Of the
Duquesne Light co. agreed to meet
with National Labor Relations
Board officials today to plan an
election to decide the collective bar
gaining agency Of 1,70O striking
company employees.
The employees In dispute are
among the 5000 members Of the
Independent Association OF En-
ployes of Duquesne Light and Asso-
ciated Companies who walked out
10 days ago in a demand for a 20
per cent pay raise which would
boost the average base pay from
$1.18 to $l.41 an hour.
Negotiations to end the strike
continued today, but all sides said
mo progress had been made"
The Independent Association is
one of the four unions whose names
are to appear on the ballot. The
others are District so of the AFL
United Mine Workers. the petitioner
for the election: the AFL Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers and the CIO Utility Work
ers Of America.
Each Union Claims Majority.
Each of the unions claims it has
enrolled majority of the 1,700 as
members.
The NLRB decision to hold the
election was handed down yester-
day, less than "a hours after hear
ing on the petition had been held
here. The speed with which the
NLRB acted was considered recog-
milton of the seriousness OF the
power strike situation, which has
made $4,000 workers idle, halted bus
and streetcar transportation, and
is slowly exhausting street lights OF
Pittsburgh and neighboring cities.
George L. Mueller, president of
the Independent union, last night
issued a statement in reply to re-
peated requests from Duquesne
Light officials that the strike issues
be submitted to arbitration.
Arbitration Plea Rejected.
Arbitration as a means Of set
Ting Pittsburgh's power strike is
not and will not be acceptable to
the rank and file of the union,n Mr..
Mueller said.
"The Duquesne Light Co. is will
ing to go into arbitration again" /"
he continued, "but with the stub
born insistence it will not waive the
right to argue and present evidence
that any increase would violate

The deciding factor in arbitration
would be an official of the Federal
Government.
"Unless both sides stipulated In

United Nations our special knowl-
edge of atomic energy and our
bomb-making know-how. Further
more, we won't do this unless Russia
valves her veto rights in the Secur-
ity Council so far as atomic warfare
is concerned. That seems reason
able to us, but not to Russia.
Russia says we should first de-
stroy our present stock of bombs
and cease making them. Russia
says further that she doesn't want
our inspectors prowling all over the
place, especially during the period
in which we are making up our
minds whether 1t is safe to trust
the United Nations with our secret.
Russia is making, or claims to be
making, some progress OF her own
In the atomic field. She would be
foolish, her Spokesmen say, to re-
veal what she has achieved while
waiting for us to be satisfied" AS
for the veto power, she argues that
there Is no reason why this pro-
vision of the charter, insisted on at
San Francisco by the United States
as well as Russia, should be waived
in the matter of atomic warfare,
simply because the United States,
having the bomb, can get along
without the veto in this particu-
lar instance.
These points of difference would
not seem to be irreconcilable be-
tween men of good will. And some
men of good will are offering sug-
gestions. Walter Lippmann, for ex-
ample, one of the first to point out
that the veto actually has no value
to any of the powers in this con-
nection-since the very attempt to
use the veto would bring that power
into open battle with the bomb
possessing international authority
has come up with proposal that
we reconsider our own plan. He
argues that Russia will make no
effective agreement until she stands
on even terms with the United
States, which means with neither
of us possessing the bomb exclu-
sively. He proves also to his own
satisfaction that the idea of launch
ing preventive atomic warfare on
Russia is fantastic. that it would
merely bring disaster on everybody
concerned. Widely dispersed Rus
sia, he thinks, cannot be licked by
the bomb. ..-,. .r.a.
Almost Echoes Wallace.
The Baruch plan, says Mr.. Lipp-
mann, almost echoing Mr. Wallace,
should not be treated as "our last,
our only, and our perfected contri-
button to the subject"
There would be more of this kind
Of thinking, perhaps, had the diff
ferences between Mr.. Baruch and
Mr.. Wallace been laid more fairly
before the people in the first place.
Blame for this not happening can
properly be given Mr.. Baruch. His

neged on promise to publish a

Three Veterans Post
$1,000 Bond in Atom
Material Photo Case

Charged with attempting to sell
unauthorized photographs Of ma
terial and equipment relating to the
atomic bomb" three former service
men were at liberty today after
posting bonds of $1,000 each before
"a United States Commissioner in
Baltimore.
The three, George Wallace Conner
23, and Miles Frederick Dauben-
heyer, 26, both Of Bel Air, Md, and
reserve Capt. James Barnes Rike
%, Of Chattanooga. Tenn, were
trapped Wednesday while allegedly
attempting to sell the pictures to
the Baltimore News-Post for $1,000.
The Federal Bureau of Inyestiga-
ton said the men had six pictures
taken on Tinian island in the
Marianas at the time Super For
tresses were based there for the
atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima
and Nagasaki. The pictures were
described as most detrimental to

Had Planned to Renew Commission.
Members of the Baltimore News
Post staff pretended to bargain
with the ex-servicemen for the
photographs while FBI and mill
tary intelligence agents were sum-
moned to the newspaper Office.
Rike was reported to be planning
to renew his commission in the
Army after extended service in the
European theater. Daubenheyer
had served in the Navy and was an
ensign. Conner had been attached
to the Army Air Forces bombing
squadron on Tnian.
How the pictures were slipped
through security safeguards was not
revealed by the FBI, which said
Conner later showed the pictures to
Daubenheyer while the two dis
charged veterans were working at
Bel Air. He is said to have ex-
planned that he was in a group of
servicemen when they slipped a
canvas cover from the equipment
and took the photogrhaps with a
camera belonging to another man.
The FBI at first announced the
pictures showed the atomic bomb,
but last night issued this statement:
"At request Of the Manhattan
Engineering District the photo
graphs involved in the case at Bal
timore have been studied further
and it has been ascertained the pic
lures were not Of the atomic bomb
itself but were of material and re-
lated equipment to the atomic bomb.

Hearing Set for October 23..
Rike was brought into the case,
1t was charged, after Conner and
Daubenheyer met him in Balti-
