Sweden 5 Application
For u. n. Membership
is Expected Today
by the Assecioied prss.

NEW YORK, Aug 9.--Advices
from Stockholm indicated Swedens
application for membership in the
United Nations would be forwarded
to New York after a cabinet meet
ing today.
These reports said the move
would not be announced in Stock
holm until the United Nations sec
retariat acknowledged receipt OF the
application.
The Swedish application, the ninth
to be considered by the Security
Councils Membership Committee
now in session, appeared unlikely To
meet opposition, for the Swedish
government had canvassed the ma
ior powers in advance to learn what
reception the Swedish bid might re-
ceive.
Questions Being Drafted.
The Membership Committee mean
while resumed drafting of questions
to be submitted to Albania over
her hotly contested application.
which has the support of Soviet
Russia and Poland and the bitter
opposition of neighboring Greece.
Discussion OF the sidetracked Al
banian bid was renewed yesterday
at the request of Soviet Representa-
tive Alexei N. Krasilnikov. who said
a long Greek memorandum oppos-
ing Albania was based on false
accusations
The Russian said Albanias dec
laration of war on Greece had been
dictated by Fascist Italy and not
by the present Albanian regime,
and added:
I'VE must differentiate between
acts committed by scist-Quisling
governments and the policy of dem
ocratic governments"
Mr.. Krasilnikov quoted a letter
from Mussolini to Hitler which
said the Albanian battalions sent
against Greece refused to fight and
had to be disarmed and sent to the
rear.
French Delegate Satisfied.
French Representative F. de Rose
declared the Russian statement
proved Albania had participated
satisfactorily in the war against
the Axis in way that was par
ticularly admired by France because
of their common interest in under
ground resistance.
Russia and Poland jointly con-
tended that the Greek claim TO a
part of Southern Albania which the
Greeks call Northern Epirus was a
matter apart from membership con-
! sideration.
The questions approved yesterday
/ by the committee would ask AL
bania whether she considered e
state of war still exists with Greece
and if so what steps should be taken
to end it.
Those under consideration would
seek a detailed report from Al
bania on the circumstances of the
December 2. 1945, election by which
the regime of Premier Enver Hoxha
came to power and would ask a
statement of Albania's external
policies.
Some committeeman were re-
ported pressing for the adoption OF
queries concerning civil rights with
in Albania.
The formal questions will be given
to the Albanian representative, Co
Tux Jakova, with the request for c
written reply Ito supplement the

u. ). 5tiffens Initiation
Control by Refusing
Lumber Pay Raise
By the Assoeioted Press

The Government stiffened It's
imitation control policies today
by refusing to sanction a second
round of reconversion pay boosts
in a major industry.
Reconversion Director Steelmar
made the ruling in case affecting
only Pacific Northwest lumbe,
workers, But his decision plainly
implied that the administration
wants to keep wages in line for the
time being.
The Governments only remaining
control over wages is a requirement
of Federal approval before any in
creased pay costs can be submitted
to OPA as a basis for higher price
ceilings.
Thus, Mr.. Steelman's new ruling
serves as a warning that employers
may have to bear the entire cost oil
future pay increases granted where
workers already had received the
full amount coming to them under
the existing wage-price policy.
Affects $4,000 Workers.
The lumber decision applied t
more than $4,000 workers in the
West Coast industry. They had re-
ceiyed a l5-cent hourly increase ir
wages which was approved by the
Government as postwar industr,
pattern" Then the CIO and AFI
unions involved negotiated an ad.
ditional 5-cent-an-hour pay boost
The national Wage Stabilizatio
Board, which passes on such mat
tiers subject to Mr.. Steelmans re-
view decided that because of special
circumstances it would approve 81
cents of the scent second increase
for application toward price relief
WSB said other industries had re-
ceived l8la cents an hour postwar
wage increases.
However. Mr.. Steelman in his re-
view noted that individual postwar
wage increases had been Established
industry by industry, taking into &C
count living cost standards and
other factors There was no reason
he said. why workers in every in
dustry should have received the
same raise
There appear to be no 'specia
circumstances which would distin-
guish this case from any other which
might be presented in which a full
reconversion pattern had been estab.
lished and approved" Mr.. Steelmar
wrote.
