ANGRY SESSION
Bevin Accuses Russia OF
Trying To Dictate Own
Rules For Farley

PARIS, July 6. -U.P- Soviet
Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov
remained obstinate today and for
four and one-half hours blocked
all attempts of the big four foreign
ministers conference to reach an
agreement on a peace parley.
Mo.otov, apparently working on
new orders from Moscow. refused
TO let the Big -Four issue invita-
tons for the conference set for July
% until the rules and procedure
10 be followed were laid down.
Time and time again throughout
the long, frustrating and often
angry session, Molotov said he fear
ed that otherwise the treaty meet
ing would become a "shatampiru-
iuschchaya mashina' - Russian
for Understanding machine.
Try In Vain
Secretary of State James F. Byr-
mes British foreign minister Err
nest Bevin and French Premier
Georges Bidault tried in vain to
convince Molotov that exactly the
opposite was true - that only by
deciding The rules now could the
peace conference become q rub

The hot-tempered outspoken Bev-
in blunJly accused Russia at one
point of trying to dictate its own
rules for the peace conference.
Both Byrnes ard Bevin effect &C
cused Molotav OF bad faith in going
back on MS July 4th assent to The
peace conference date.
Tonight he outlook for an ami
cable agreement on the peace con-
ference was as gloomy as at any
time during the series OF Big Four
conferences here. The participants
were frankly depressed by the sud-
den turn of events after it had ap-
pearcd that finally Molotov was
prepared TO be agreeable.
Bevin accused Molotov of trying

on July 4th to have the 21-nation

SENATORS COLLIDE
Barley Says New OPA
Bill May Go To Presi-
dent By End OF Week

WASHINGTON, July 6-P)- A
Democratic split threatened today
to block the revival of meat price
controls in any OPA renewal bill
the senate may pass next week.
With Republicans massing be-
hind him, minority whip Wherry
(Neb.), told a reporter he is sat
isfied at least a dozen Senate
Democrats also will support his
proposal to cut meat and poultry
off the list of controlled products
if the Office of Price Administra-
ton is revived.
Senator Murdoch D.-Utah), said,
however, that if any such action
finally is sustained by congress
and the bill is sent to the President
in that form, he expects that it
will be vetoed.
Challenges Estimate
Murdoch, himself, a stockman,
challenged Wherry's estimate of
majority support for the elimlna-
ton of meat, asserting:
Il can't see how any Democrat
can go against the President S
wishes in such a grave crisis
But there was ample evidence
that several Democrats intend to
support the Wherry proposal. Al
ready publicly committed to this
course are such veterans as sena-
tors George of Georgia McCarran,
of Nevada, and Radcliffe, of Mary
land.
Administration lieutenants ad-
mitted that an informal nose
count indicated they will have to
bring back to Wa shington some of
the Senators who have gone home
to patch up their political fences
if they are to have a chance OF
beating down what they tabled as
a highly Objectionable" amend
ment.
It will be the Senate's first head
on collision with the meat is
sue. Democratic leader Barley
ky, carefully avoided any such
showdown when he was plotting
through the original extension bill
which President Truman vetoed.
In that case, a committee vote
to d%econtrol meat, poultry and
dairy products was allowed to
stand without a roll call challenge.
This allowed a Senate-House con-
ference committee to reinstate
such controls and send back to
both houses a report that was ap-
proved without a separate test on
the issue.
But Wherry said he is determin-
ed to get a record Senate vote this
time. If he wins, Barley then Will

Bv The Associated Press

Fourth of July holiday deaths

safety-conscious Americans were
