Byrnes Sees High Keynote For JuIy29
 Defends Big 4
 Compromises Made
 On Al! Treaties

Paris. July 13 = (UP) = Secre- tary of State James F. Byrnes said today prospects for success of the 21-nation peace conference July 29 are very bright and defended com- promises reached by the Big 4 foreign ministers as essential to end the worlds state of war.
 Byrnes met with the press as he waited to board a plane for the United States. He expressed con- fidence that the full dress peace conference would prove success.
 He is expected to make a radio report on the Big 4' conference to the American people Monday night
 Does Not Like Trieste Decision
 He said that the Big A. had made no compromises for the peace conference but rather for the treat ies, emphasizing that no treaties could be obtained without com- promises He saw no danger to the peace conference in application of the tWO-thirds rule 10 voting on each treaty committee, pointing out that minorities on any committee had the full right to present their views to the full conference,
 ByrneS admitted that he was none too happy over the Big I" deci- sion on Trieste but noted that some compromise had to be reached and said that the one agreed upon seem- ed the only possible one.
 In effect, he said, the agreement provided for home rule for the Trieste area with the military sup port of all the United Nations. This, he said was far better for the in- habitants than if they had all been turned over either to Yugoslavia or Italy.
 The Foreign Ministers Council completed its conference of exactly four weeks last night. The delega- tions were ready and anxious to begin breathing spell before they tackle the problems of She peace conference. -@
 The Big I" ministers adjourned on note of futility. They were deadlocked on Germany and Aus tria. But the sum total Of the con- ference showed considerable prog ress, and they had no more than Skirted the fringe of the German and Austrian problems in the last hurried hours before the adjourn ment
 Five Treaties Produced
 The four weeks of often acri- monious talk had produced the gen. eral terms for peace treaties with Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Finland. They will be put into final shape by Wednesday by the ministerial deputies, and will be submitted to the peace conference opening two weeks from Monday.
 The conference settled the para mount problem of Trieste-not to the satisfaction of the Italians or Yugoslavs, but settled it. It pigeon holed the matter of Italian colonies for a year in order to get on with drafting the peace treaty. It left open the issue of free navigation of the Danube, to be settled at the peace conference
 But in the final days work the ministers got exactly nowhere. Their sole agreement was to ad- journ at the end of the day They wound up long way from agree ment on the question of an Aus trian treaty and on the establish ment of central regime for Ger many

State Police From Canaan Push Drives
Seven burlington Residents Caught In Widespread Net

Iorrlngton, July Is - state Police drive against alleged illegal transportation of cattle from New York into Connecticut has already resulted in Il arrests in Litchf1eld County. The drive is being con- tinued by troopers of the Canaan Barracks.
 Six men arrested yesterday will be arraigned in Goshen Town Court Monday night at 8. Trooper Andrew Yurton made the arrests, which in- cluded those of Abraham Jaffa, 168 BrightWood Avenue; Gideo Longhi, 40 Hayes Street; Abraham Cohen, South Main Street; Frank Fabbri, l09 East Albert Street; Benjamin Cohen, 337 South Main Street, ali of Torrington: and Frank Zeffra, Litchfeld.
 It. Elton Nolan of the Canaan Barracks said the men are charged with transporting cattle into Con- necticut without securing a permit from the Commissioner of Domestic Animals.
 One Fined S25
 In Canaan yesterday afternoon, Oscar Johanson, Ganford, N. Y, was fined S25 on the same charge.
 To be arraigned in Salisbury Town Court Monday night are four other men arrested in the drive. They are Gino Soliano and Waldo Taddei, both of Torrington; Frank Mariana, Hartford, and Lionel Gerard, Sails bury. Gerard is charged with ac- cepting cattle brought illegally into the State.
 One of, the Torrington men ar rested, Gideo Longhi, was among four defendants discharged in City Court yesterday on charges Of vio- lating the State laws on slaughter ing. The case was based on the slaughtering here of calves which were shipped to Waterbury. Brass City authorities claimed that the calves were stiN-born and unfit for human consumption.
 Discharged by Judge John J. Ca sale were Longhi, Dr. John J. Spiel man, l73 Mckinley Street, City Meat Inspector; Aaron Jaffe, 16S BrightWood Avenue; and Abe Ni- man, HarWinton Avenue.
 Bushnell Upholds Defendant
 The cases were dismissed after Dr. F. Forbes Bushnell, Deputy State Commissioner of Domestic Animals, testified that the meat seized in Waterbury was fit for hu- mans. He said he thought the calves were several days old.
 This was in conflict with the testi- mony of Waterbury Meat Inspector James Courtney, Police Sgt. Charles McWeeney of Waterbury, and Dan- lel Humphrey, local slaughterhouse owner. The meat was seized at the New York Market, North Main Street, Waterbury, and was con- demned and ordered destroyed by Waterbury health authorities.
 As a result of the case, Water bury is considering a ban against all meat shipments from Torring- ton. Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, Water bury City Health Officer, said fur. ther investigation will be made anc may result in an order directing that no recognition be given the City Of Torrington meat stamp.

SENATE APPROVES BATTERED 0PA BILL 2::56 A. M. TODAY
Leaders See Another Veto On Measure
Beoten, Riddled Legislation Goes To Lower House

Washington, July 13 -, UP)-The Senate, after a tumultous 14-hour session, early today approved the bat tered and riddled OPA reviv- al bill by an overwhelming 62 to 15 vote.
 With provisions for dras- tically curtailing many of OPA's price control powers and exempting many com- modities from price ceilings, the measure now goes on to the House where it will be approved as written by the Senate or sent to a joint con- ference for compromise.
 The bill, as passed by the Senate shortly before A. NJ. EDT today would:
 l. Prohibit price ceilings on
 meat, livestock, dairy products,
 poultry, eggs, milk, grain and
 grain feeds, petroleum, tobac-
 co, cottonseed and soy beans.
 ?. Return rent ceilings to
 their June 30 levels. but outlaw
 Federal controls in states hav-
 ing their own regulations.
 3 Grant producers, manu-
 lecturers, processors, services
 and transportation agents their
 1940 prices plus increased costs
 If the higher prices are neces-
 sary for increased production. Remove controls on all non-
 essential items at the end of | 1946.
 5. Transfer all controls over
 agricultural commodities from
 OPA to the Secretary of Agri-
 culture.
 Ask for Decontroi Board
 Establish a decontrol board, to be named by the President, to super wise the removal of controls when supply and demand are in balance.
 The bill also would continue sub- sidies to April l; allow markups at the June 29, 1946, levels: Allow cot ton and wool manufacturers prices which include reconversion costs. and authorize price increases for southern pulpWood.
 House action on the measure could be taken today as the body is sched- uled to meet in special session to vote. on the British loan proposal. administration leaders hoped the loan measure would be side-tracked by the House in favor of the O.P.A. bill.
 Administration leaders in both houses saw little chance that the O.P.A. bill as approved by the Sem ate would escape presidential veto. They hoped conferees would knock out provisions which would remove price controls on meat, livestock, dairy products, eggs, poultry, grains, petroleum, tobacco and other conn., modities.
 May Recommend Signing
 If such action were forthcoming, some officials who recommended veto of the first bill said they would urge the President to sign the pres ent measure into law.
 Approval of the measure finally came at 2:56 A. M. EST. today, after the Senate had voted to add tobacco and feed grains to the long list of commodities which would be exempt from future price controls.
 The whitening session, which be- gan aJ noon yesterday, also saw the Senate defeat proposals to continue O.PA. in it's old form, prohibit price controls with the exception of rent, and allow retailers and wholesalers their pre-War narkups. T. E...., .:.....l rlsn,a I'D SsA

Mt. Vernon Club Here Thursday

The Mount Vernon Red Caps, with Emerson Dickman, Nick Ire mark, and Frank Scheich in the lineup will offer Mgr. Joe Samos- ka's BraSscos plenty of opposition when the teams meet Thursday night at the Municipal Stadium.
 Tremark was up with the Brook lyn Dodgers in the Spring of l943 but left for the service. This year he ran into salary trouble with the management and jumped the club in favor of independent ball. Nick is the home run hitter of the club and last Sunday connected for three circuit wallops in a double header.
 Scheich is another long ball hitter and has connected for half dozen four-ply smashes thus far this sea- son. Dickman, who was with the Red Sox for several seasons, has won three straight without a re- verse this year and may work against the locals. Another top notch hurler on the taff is Bill Sahlin who saw service in the Chi- cago Cub chain with Minneapolis before the war.
 Mgr. Samoska plans to show two or three new players in the lineup against the Caps.

 The Baseball Guild starts with two strikes on it. In four previous attempts. no players organization has succeeded.
 The reason is obvious. There are $4000 ball players and less and $40 900 ball players and more. Can't you see Bob Teller of the Indians, getting $50,000; Hank Greenberg, Hal Newhouser and Dick Wake field of the Tigers, receiving $45 900, $3O,00O and $25,0 900, respectively; and Joe DiMaggio of the Yankees, a $40,000 performer, breaking down the door to get in on Guild?
 Organizer Robert Murphy of BoS- ton had best forget one of the an- nounced aims of the ABG if he wishes to avoid fight to the limit with organized ball. That is free dom of contract. Anybody knows that the reserve clause is the back bone of the business. Organized baseball was not successful until it was incorporated in the contract.
 It is the magnateS' own fault that a minimum salary appeals to many of the hired hands, especially the younger set.

Driees Boys 1946 BoseboII Champs

Driggs schoolboys, coached by Henry Sabia, came up with the Public School League baseball championship yesterday, nipping Sprague of Waterville, 4-3, in 8 game that developed only 2 hits by both teams. Fappiano singled home a Sprague run in the first inning; Brandt getting on base by an error, but Driggs bounced back with 2 runs in their half of the inning, when Evans walked, Santora hit a two-bagger and pitcher Sal Corbo, pitching relief for Richardson, who gave but three hits to Sprague bat ters, whammed triple to score 8 pair of runs.
 A bad throw in the fifth cost Sprague another run when Evans was trapped off second base. Rich ardson scored for Driggs in the sixth, when two errors allowed him to score after his single to get on base. Fappiano again scored run for Sprague on single, when John- son walked and stole second base in the fifth inning.
 Hard Luck
 George Johnson, Sprague pitcher, allowed but four hits, but was beat en by n1isplays of his teammates. Richardson of Driggs gave but three hits, but was relieved by Corbo in the fourth inning with Driggs lead- ing, 2-1, the latter getting credit for the victory. Score:

 And there is no good reason why a player shouldn't share in his sale price.
 Regardless of the fate of the ABG 1t can't miss doing the poor slaves some good. There can't miss being sharp upsweep in pay en- velopes next winter. The slow-to- catch-on owners finally realize that it is good business to keep the ivory contented.
 Beach effort to make a players organization work benefits the talent. When the Players Frater- nity folded with World War I, for example, it left behind it the To- year rule prohibiting a combatant with that length of major league service from being peddled to the minors.
 The players might accomplish something worth while if they would stick together on a sensi- ble program, but I am inclined to string along with those who sus- pect that the real test of the Am erican Baseball Guild will come when the athletes are asked to fork over part of their dough for dues, relief programs and whatnot.
 If Bob Murphy can get anything out of ball players, he should be made Secretary of labor forthwith or establish a collection agency.
