was merely a floor" under earn

profits already are at the level re-

The bill provides for removal of

mate ceilings is vested in OPA in
the case of nonagricultural products
and in the Agriculture Department
in the case of farm commodities.
However, the three-man control
board could overrule these agencies
if either failed to act.
OPA could retain ceilings only on
those farm commodities which the

Manufacturers ceilings would have

On Publicity In Japan
By the Associated Press

TOKYO, July 24.-The, Allied (Ad-
Visory) Council for Japan needed
a Russian request today to delay ac-
ton on Supreme Headquarters
anti-publicity proposal to which
Russia had objected vigorously.
The Council adjourned without
voting on the proposal to restrict
publication of recommendation or
comments on agenda subjects until
after they have been discussed in
meeting. The Russian representa-
tive, 1t. Gen. Kuzms Derevyanko,
raised the objection and asked that
the matter be passed until the next
meeting, scheduled for August 7.
Earlier this month, just prior to
Council meeting, the Russians is
sued press release outlining ex-
tensive views on a labor policy for
Japan-and were accused by the
American chairman, George Atche-
son, jr,, of using the organizatio
to spread propaganda"
In effect, observers pointed out.

Seven MosIem States Ask
u. N. Action on Palestine

NEW YORK, July "a [P).-The
controversial Palestine question was
slated today for a place on the
crowded agenda of the United Ma
tions General Assembly which meets
in New York September %.
Arkady Sobolev, acting secretary
general. disclosed last night that
Egypt and Iraq, acting in concert
with five other Arab states. had
asked Assembly action to help bring
the strife-torn British mandate un-
der U. N. trusteeship.
In Dublin, Prime Minister Eamon
De Valera asked the Dali today for
quick approval Of a proposal that
Fire seek admission to the United
Nations in September.
The Palestine disclosure came In
the midst of these developments:
Soviet circles said the Palestine
question might be raised by Russia
during discussion of Trans-Jordan's
application for membership in the
United Nations, scheduled to be held
within the next few days before a
COmmlCtee OF the security Council.
The Russian informant refused tc
amplify his statement that the Pal
estine question might be injected
into the discussion of membership
applications. He also refused to
disclose the nature of remarks
which he said the Soviet represent
ative would make on Trans -Jordan's
application.
Soviet Press Statements.
1t was recalled, however, that
both the Soviet press and radio have
declared that Trans-Jordan is in
dependent in name only, since Brit

Mr.. Gromyko went on to say that,
as had already been made clear
the Soviet thought it would be dan
gerous and may be fatal to the
United Nations If the principle of
big power unanimity is tampered
with,
Mr.. Gromyko said the American
proposals mean the Security Coun-
Gil is denied the right 1t should
have under the Charter Such a sit
uation, he SAID, could not be con-
sidered normal. He declared the
position of the Soviet is that the
powers of the Council would be un-
dermined, adding the Russian posi-
tion on this point is definite as we'll
as fully justifiable.
The third American memorandum,
presented last week to the conferees,
dealt largely with the relationship
of the proposed atomic development
authority to the Security Council
and other U. N. agencies.
1t proposed that serious violations
of rules laid down by the authority
should be dealt with by the Security
Council, and that in this field the
great powers should surrender their
right to veto decisions Of the Coun-
ellis ma iOrity.

The House adopted the measure
yesterday, 210 to l42, and the Senate
is expected to do likewise.
Board, Anderson Share Authority.
Most of the authority in the new
bill is given to an independent de-
control board to be appointed by
the President if he signs the bill.
and to Secretary of Agriculture An
derson in the case of farm COM
modlties
Chief interest in the price control
bill now centers around the question
of who Mr.. Truman will nominate
for the three member board, which
will determine by August 20 the ex-
tent to which OPA should restore
ceilings on meat, dairy products and
other foods. as we'll as petroleum
and tobacco.
The Senate will have to confirm
Mr.. Truman's three selections for
the board, and, in so doing, will
get one more chance after today to
pass on future price control policies
The members of the decontrol board
are to receive $4,000 a year each.
and not more than two of the
nominees may be from the same
political party. 1t is safe to assume
that Senate opponents of price con-
troll as 1t existed before June 30, will
want to inquire into the views of
the Decontrol Board members be-
fore they are confirmed.
Neither Side Satisfied.
AS often happens when the House
and Senate find it necessary to COM
promise their differences, the new
bill does not satisfy either side.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, Of
Florida, advocate of strong price
control, sees nothing in the COM
promise but constantly increasing
prices"
At the same time, Senator
Wherry, Republican, of Nebraska
foe of the old OPA. is expected to
paint picture of uncertainties and
/ confusion under the compromise
bill. He indicated, however, he ex-
poets the Senate to approve it.
Senator Taft, Republican. of Ohio
whose profit formula for producers
was denounced in the President S
June 80 veto, and has been rewrit-
ten, nevertheless is going along with
the new bill. Senator Taft indicated
he regards this as less effective bill
than the one Mr.. Truman vetoed, but
will support it because he believes
I'VE ought to have some measure of
price control"

On "reconversion" items such as

and farm implements, OPA is re-
quired to restore dealers prewar
profit margins. On autos, for ex-

OPA has estimated that elinina-

of popular priced cars by an aver
