Ickes Favors Chance
For Barueh 10 Offer
Atom Plan 10 Nations
Urges Liberal Group TO
Reconsider Criticism
Of American Proposal
By J. A. O'Leory

Harold L. Ickes, former Secre-
tary Of the Interior, now active
among liberal forces in this
country, said today he believes
Bernard M. Baruch is entitled
to a chance" to work out his
American plan for international
control of atomic energy.
He made the statement in con-
firming that he has asked the Inde-
pendent Citizens Committee of the
Arts, Sciences and Professions, of
which he is executive chairman, to
give consideration to a protest by
Mr.. Baruch against a resolution
criticizing the American plan, adopt
ed by a conference of liberal groups
in Chicago last month.
Mr.. Ickes said he is not taking
the position that the Baruch plan
is "the best plan, or perfect" or that
1t won't have to be modified. His
position. he explained, is that in any
negotiation-such as is now going
on over control of the atom bomb
the negotiator should be given a
chance to present his plan to the
other nations. Mr.. Baruch is Amer
ica's representative ON the United
Nations Atomic Energy Committee.
Threat to Resign Denied.
The former Interior Secretary de-
MED today that he had threatened
to resign as executive chairman of
the Independent Citizens Commit
tee if it does not give proper con-
sideration to Mr.. Baruch's protest.
He said he had merely forwarded
to officials of the committee in New
York Mr.. Baruch's telegram of pro-
test, with an accompanying letter
suggesting that it should be given
consideration and a reply.
From a reliable source it was
learned that the position the Inde-
pendent Citizens Committee takes
regarding the Baruch protest is thai
the Chicago conference was a gath
ering of about 500 representatives o1
various groups, and that the COM
which was only one of the
attending cannot alter the

meet and that he was standing by,
ready to call another meeting as
soon as one side was ready to make
a concession.
While this meeting between rep
resentatives of the AFL Bakery
Local 118 and the nine-company
employers association was under
way, another union committee dis
cussed the deadlock with 81 inde-
pendent unionized bakers.
Emphasizing the good relations
existing between the union and en-
ployers association. whose contract
sets the pattern for smaller bakers,
Mr.. McClosky said:
"The employers and union are
doing everything possible to get this
thing settled for the sake of the
public before the bread shortage can
hit tomorrow"
Some Bakers Stay on Job.
Some bakers continued to work
through last night, assuring the
District normal bread supply to-
day. But tomorrow Washington
and an area at least 20 miles wide
around the District will be without
bread except for supplies furnished
by small nonunion shops.
AS union members drifted in and
out of a continuous meeting" at
Labor emple, Mr.. McClosky said
they were standing by for news from
their Negotiation Committee. He
said the men would be back on the
job in 80 minutes if the employers
acceded to their demands.
Negotiations Break Down.
Negotiations which have been con-
tinued over three months broke
down completely last night even
after the union and association had
agreed on a 15-cent hourly wage
increase for all employees.
Picketing to Start Tomorrow.
The union said about 80 other
unionized bakeries in Washington
and nearby points such as Alexan-
dria and Arlington, are being struck.
With a one-day's supply on hand,
some stores began feeling the pinch
with housewives making runs"
Some stores doled out one leaf to
customer and still others reserved
their dwindling supply for regular
customers.
i Restaurants Feels Pinch.
Restaurants also began to feel
the pinch, several announcing they
were handing out one roll to a Gus
toner as long as they lasted. Some
were in a position to make rolls,
but many others were not equipped
for baking.
A spot check of grocery stores
brought varied responses. Some
stores reported business as usual.
One said: "It's-ik run on q
bank; we are rationing our supply
one loaf to customer"
One restaurant chain which de-

Diversion Of Steel
To Tito Challenged
AT Surplus Inquiry
Chairman Slaughter Roise.
Question of Subterfuee
In CPA Directive

Diversion of steel rails by
UNRRA from China to Yugo-
slavia was vigorously challenged
today by Chairman Slaughter OF
the House Surplus Property
Committee.
In the course Of hearings at which
protests against such diversion were
heard, Representative Slaughter de-
clared> he had no quarrel with
UNRRA ALLEGATION of rails to China
but he questioned the methods.
He raised a question whether the
Civilian Production Administration
in writing June directive cover
ing rails to China, had not adopted
subterfuge.
Says Law Was Bypassed.
CPA was trying to get around the
Surplus Property Act by invoking
the Presidents war powers when IL
wrote that the directive was neces-
sary in the interests of national
defense, he said.
The CPA directive provided fo1
$4,000 tons of rails and accessories
to China.
The directive stated that "the
fulfillment of requirements for the
defense of the United States has
created shortage in the supply OF
rails and accessories for defense,
for private account and for ex-
port"
Col. Edward F. Kunze, chief of the
UNRRA division of the State De-
partment. told the committee he did
not know of the June 5 directive
until September S. He added that
he did not know how soon UNRRA
would replace for China the rails
diverted to Yugoslavia.
Original Amount Cut.
He testified that 1000 tons of rails
originally were diverted to Yugo-
slavia from China, but that recently
the amount was cut to 5000 after
the matter came to light and peo-
pie had begun to talk about it."
Defending the State Departments
position. Col. Kunze explained that
when UNRRA met its responsibility
to establish requirements his Office
felt that political circumstances
should not interfere. -.
Col. Kunze told the committee
that Gen. George c. Marshall
strongly supported China's need for
rails. He said he was informed,
that Gen. Marshall did not wish to
become involved in any controversy
over the Yugoslavia diversion but
that he wanted supplies to 60 to
China as soon as the embargo is
lifted. The embargo, he explained
was due to port congestion but was
not applied to food.
Official Says He Protested.
Nose Harvey, director Of the Bu-
reau of International Supply, CPA
testified he had protested against
the diversion.
Mr.. Slaughter observed that at
was business of going around in
circles" because the rails were need
to to relieve port congestion in China
but were not forthcoming because
of port congestion.
Commenting on testimony by Col
Kunze that UNRRA had indi.
Gated Canada and Australia would
supplement the supply of rails for
China, Mr.. Slaughter asked why
the levy had been made only against
American industry where such ma
terials were in short supply.
