BRITISH ROYAL
 FAMILY TARGET
 FOR \. C. WELLS
Author Hints MussoIini Connection in Leftist
 Paper Article

LONDON, July 6-Britain's news papers and radio newscasts today ignored an attack by author -histor- ian H. G. Wells on the Royal family. Wells raised the question whether the monarchy was involved in pay ments which a government minis ter has declared were made by Benito Mussolini to Sir Oswald Mosley, British Fascist leader, be- fore the war.
 Wells article was published in the Socialist Leader, compara- lively obscure weekly paper of the extreme leftwing Independent La Dor Party.
 Buckingham Palace declined com ment. However. Sir Ulick Alexan- der, Keeper of the Privy Purse, when asked if the Royal family had aided Mosley, exclaimed, My God, mol"
 Wells secretary said he had no further comment.
 Douglas Rogers, editor of the Socialist Leader, said Wells was "an occasional contributor" to the periodical with articles appearing twice or thrice yearly. Rogers said he discussed Wells criticism of the Royal family before the author composed the article and that he was confident that Wells would not have asked the questions he did Concerning Mosley) without some good basis"
 Rogers added that he regarded the 79-year old Wells as a writer of international reputation and be- lieved he had given the matter serious thought before writing tht 1 article
 The article offered no proof as z basis for the questions raised or activities of the Royal family.

ATOM CONTROL REACHED ONLY
 BY LONG ROAD
Areas of Dissent Have Now Been Charied by LIN
 Working Committee

NEW YORK, July 6-The United Nations Atomic conferees hope to complete the first phase of their deliberations by next weekend but it was apparent today that world atomic control could be established only after long, painstaking prelim- inaries
 One authoritative source said that "only very optimistic view" would support the idea that any concrete atomic program may be ready for submission to the Security Council in time for action at the month-or- longer meeting of the General Assembly scheduled to begin here September 3.
 The United States delegation said that even after the adoption of atomic controls "the process oi putting them into effect will nec- cssarily extend over considerable period of time
 Tt would have to be done by stages and according to pre- arranged schedules based on sound and logical sequence leading to full and effective establishment of all controls" a memorandum from the Americans said.
 However, the preliminary work cleared away thus far under the last-paced leadership of Australian Foreign Minister Herbert V. Evatt las resulted in a nearly complete outline chart!ng a course through the areas of mutual dissent in the separate United States and Russian plans for atomic control
 Evatt himself, after a strenuous two months as leader of the Aus tralian delegation to the Security Council and atomic groups, begins on Monday his last week as chair man of the l2-nation atomic en- ergy commission, it's full member ship working committee and its six-member subcommittee No. 1.

VETO SHADOW CLOUDS GAIL
 TO (0N(LAvE
Soviet Insistent Peace Con- ference Be Mere 'Rub-
 Der Stamp

PARIS, July 6.-British- American opposition to a Russian demand that the Big Four prescribe rules of pro- cedure for a general European peace conference this summer blocked ef- forts of the Foreign Ministers Coun- cil today to convoke the 21-nation conclave on July 29, the date all ready fixed.
 Both Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and British Foreign Secre- tary Ernest Bevin contended, throughout a stormy four-hour ses- sion last night, that adoption of the Soviet proposal would reduce the peace barley to rubber stamp" sta- tuS but Russian Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M Molotov adamantly maintained his position.
 With the shadow of the big power veto clouding their efforts, the min isters convened again today for re- newed discussion of the problem in another effort to prepare and transmit the necessary invitations for the peace conference to the r other nations.
 Conversations with members of the American delegation convinced observers that the basic motivation for U. s. policy was a desire to throw international problems into an arena where the big power veto could not be exercised.
 These sources said that without the veto of the western powers have the votes to beat Russia on a con- flict and that Molotov realizes this, which is the reason for his insist ence that the Council-where he has veto power-dictate the rules for the peace conference where he does not.

0pA Foes Aim New Drive at
 Meat CeniroI
BarkIey Urges Comprom- ise Bill Be Kept Infaef
 -But Has Doubts

WASHINGTON, July 6.-OPA's senatorial critics counted today on a powerful off with-meat-ce ceilings drive to crack open the compromise bill to revive price and rent controls.
 Spearheaded by Republican Sem ators Taft of Ohio and Wherry of Nebraska, this fresh attempt to tie down OPA. even if it wins new life, gained the influential support of Democratic Senator George of Gcor- gia.
 George told reporters he favors leaving meat off of the lists because he thinks most of it would go back into the black market the minute controls were restored
 We are going to have meat snort age" he declared, but it is better to get rid of the controls and the black market that goes with them than to attempt to set prices
 With the Senate in recess until Monday when it will take up the disputed revival bill Democratic leaG- CT Barkley D.-Ky), forced out ot the Banking Committee, OPA op- ponentS maneuvered to force the first test vote on the meat issue.
 Taft said he felt confident enough Democrats would go along with Re publicans to write the meat exemp- tion into the bill, despite conten- tions by administration leaders that such move might precipitate an- other Presidential veto.
 Wherry told a reporter it is his judgment that if the Senate refuses to kill meat controls, it won't accept any other amendments to the bill on which Barkley is standing firm despite criticism of some of its terms by OPA Administrator Pau Porter.
 Barkley and Chairman Wagner (D.-N.YD, of the Banking Commit tee, expressed hope that the Senate will stick by the committees approved measure. But they obviously hao doubts about their ability to beat of the meat amendment, offered in diff fert forms by Wherry and Senator McCarran (D.-Nev.).

lnquiring Senators Hear Testimony Regarding
 Kentucky Deal

WASHINGTON, July 6-The Sem lte War Investigating Committee eceived testimony today that an Illinois munitions combine advanced S48,634 in 1943 to a lumber company whose agent was Andrew J. May of 'restonburg, Ky.
 The testimony came from Edward ichaffer, an accountant of the Gen. ral Accounting Office.
 The Andrew J. May he named was lot immediately identified further
 Accountants Disclosures
 Schaffer said his investigations of he munitions combine in which Dr. Henry Carson was a prominent fig ure disclosed:
 The Cumberland Lumber Con- pany was incorporated in Delaware June 15, l943, with Carson as Presi- dent and Joseph Freeman, Murray Carson and Albert Levin as di- rectors.
 A certificate filed with the Ken lucky Secretary of State August 5, l943, designated Andrew J. May, Prestonburg, Ky. as a company agent on whom processes might be served.
 Two companies of Henry Garsson's munitions combine-Batavia Metal Products. Inc, and Erie Basin Metal Products, advanced $48.634 to Cumberland in 1943 for lumber which was to be delivered later.
 An examination of the records of the companies as of last April show ed no lumber had been actually de- ivered but that instructions had been given by Batavia and Erie that boxing lumber was to be stored for them
 May Importunate
 Earlier in the hearing, Army ord- nance officers testified that Rep. Andrew J. May CD.-Ky), repeatedly had impcrtuned them to give busi- ness to Henry Garsson's firms.
 May had said that he was merely trying to speed the war effort.
 Before today's session, the com- mittee's interest had been whetted by testimony about costly parties, rare Scotch whiskey and the war time influence here of the Illinois munitions makers.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-Polar Defense will be the No. l problem in the war we hope will never ccme.' General H. H. Arnold, re- tired wartime commander of the Army Air Forces, told the Common wealth Club.
 making nations are all north of 30 degrees north latitude" Arnold said. Study your globe and you will see the most direct routes are not across the Atlantic or Pacific, but through the Arctic.
 The United States is the most vulnerable of the nations with new weapons employed along this route. Four hundred to 600 atomic bombs could about paralyze the United States.
 Add the advances in weapons bombs, electronics, sonics, manless aircraft and winged warheads, and the atomic bomb equal to the bomb load of 400 B-29s, and it makes war a serious affair - too serious for mankind to fool with.
 We Of the United States must build up our organization for the future so that there will be no more war.
 Our armed forces must build their own scientific and technical branch es. Dollars don't mean anything now But the time will come when our armed forces will have to fight for every dollar they get"

SEATTLE, July 6-Nicolai Gregor- vich Redin, 30, Russian Navy lieut. enant, may take the stand today to deny the U. s. government charges that he obtained and con- Spired to obtain confidential data on the U. s. Navy's new-desigr destroyer tender, the USS Yellow stone, commissioned here this year
 The defense laid the groundwork for Realms account of his treat ment by the Federal Bureau of h. vestigation at Portland, Ore, last March 2e. Ivan Zatello a marine chief engineer, who also was at- tached to the Soviet Purchasing commission was closely questioned on direct and cross examination about the arrest.
 He said the lieutenant, in Navy uniform was just alighting from his automobile at Portland pier where both men intended visiting suryiv- Oio Ol lltC HitShC0 when FBI men closed in and arrest ed the lieutenant Zabello, testi- flying through an interpreter, saio the affair caused Zabello to miss train for Long Beach, Calf, where he had been ordered in con nection with Russian ship repairs

 Zabello testified that it contain ed no documents, secret or other. wise. He also denied the lieuten. ant had planned to flee the United States at the time of his arrest.

CANADA PUTS. DOLLAR UPON PAR WITH US.
Surprise Move Taken 10 Meet Threat of Rising
 Prices Across Border

OTTAWA, July 6.-The Cana dian government, in four-point program designed to combat the threat of rising prices in the Unit ed States and to ease the pressures of imitation, has begged the Cana dian dollar at par with the U. S. dollar and strengthened Canada s price control structure.
 Finance Minister J. L. Ilsley, who outlined the program to the House of Commons last night in sur- prise announcement in which he referred to the recent abandonment of price control in the United States, said he hoped the. new mea- sures would "go a long way toward insulating Canada against unfa- vorable external conditions and easing the inflationary pressures which now are so strong"
 Henceforward, banks and other authorized agents of the Exchange Control Board will buy U. s. dollars at $1 in Canadian funds, instead of at $110, and will sell at $1.00 F., instead of at S11015. Similarly, the buying price for pounds sterling is fixed at s4.02 instead of $4.43, and the selling price at S4.04. The new rates became effective at ' pm. (EST) last night.
 This means that Canadian firms holding U. s. dollars such as ho- tels, cafes and the tourist trade will suffer loss of 10 cents on every dollar they are holding and American tourists will get only a dollars worth for their dollar, in- stead of $1.10.

The W ashington Merry Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-It didn't get in to the newspapers, but President Truman attended an interesting private dinner party the other right-a birthday party in honor of his new Secretary of the Trea- sury, John Snyder.
 John was fifty years old, and his new assistant, Detroit's affable Republican Arthur Gardner, gave him party. Viyacious Mrs. Gard ner was a little nonplused when she heard that the President of the United States was coming.
 Nov, we've got to have lot of protocol she half-protested.
 Also, she hadn't counted on the Secret Service. They came a day early and insisted on inspecting every corner of the Gardner home and garden. Also, they opened up the house next door belonging to Prince Pigmentelli, who was away for the summer, and the house of broker George Garrett, in order to make sure no one was lurking in- side.
 Delightful Mrs Gardner, how ever, is a resourceful lady-in more ways than one. Her father drew up the corporation papers for Henry Ford when Ford first started mak- ing autos, and was paid in then worthless Ford stock. Mrs. Gard ner's father was also smart enough to hang on to the stock.
 Eighteen guests attended the dinner, including Senator Barkley who, because of his wife's illness
