British Welcome Loan
As Sign u. 5.Wants
To Work With Them
DuIton Statement Reflects
Nationwide Relief at
Congress- Approval
BY the Assoc;c.ed Press

LONDON, July 13. - Great
Britain's Labor government to-
night officially welcomed the
$3.50 100000 United States loan
"as sign our American friends
want to work with us just as We
want to work with them"
/ In statement rejecting nation
wide relief at the House of Repre-
sentatives' approval of the long
awaited grant, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Hugh Dalton said on behalf
Of his government:
The American Congress has ap-
proved the loan. This does not mean
that we can now relax our efforts.
but it will hasten the time when we
can once more play our full part in
vigorous and expanding system of
inter-zonal trade.
Some Resentment of Criticism.
II take the approval of the loan
as a sign that our American friends
want to work with us just as we want
to work with them.
"We have a common interest In
reviving trade throughout the world
and providing good standards of hv-
ing for men and women everywhere. :"
Early press and public reaction to
the granting of the loan included
some resentment of criticisms of
Great Britain voiced in the United
States during the last six months.
Some British feared also that rising
American prices would cut the value
of the loan.
The news did not reach here until
most Britons were abed. but the
British Broadeasting Co. interrupted
a program to announce the news.
Cabinet Meeting Called.
A meeting of the British cabinet
was called for Monday to discuss
revision of Britains import pro-
gram in view of the loan, informed
sources said.
Lord Balfour of Burleigh, chair
man Of Lloyds Bank, described the
granting of the loan as a great
international gesture of common
sense which. properly used, will
prove equally beneficent to both
parties"
The Sunday Dispatch said that
for us 1t is gamble-a gamble
to the extent of 1,100,000.00 pounds
that by the time the first INSTALL
ment is due in December, 1851. we
shall have so far recovered our over
seas trade that repayment will be
easy"
A front-page article in the Sum-
day Times said that seven months
delay in ratifying the British loan,
accompanied by increasing imitation
in America, has reduced the dollar
value of credit by between 10 and
Is per cent"
Before Congress took it's final
action, the London Evening Star
said that some congressional COM
ment gave the impression Britons
were money grabbers of the lowest
sort" but added "the general feel
ing of this country as the loan re-
ceives final Congress assent is one
of gratitude"

Saturday Bank Closing
Year Round Effective
In D. T.. This Week
President Signs Bill;
9 AM. Opening Set
In New Schedule

Effective this week, all banks
and building and loan associa-
tions in Washington will be
closed on Saturdays the year
around. President Truman yes
terday signed the bill which
makes every Saturday a full legal
holiday and places these fnan-
cial institutions on a fve-day
week.
After the Presidents action. Rob-
ert V, Fleming. chairman of the
Washington Clearing House Associ-
alton. announced that beginning
Monday, July %, banks in the Capt.
tai will open at 9 am. daily instead
of $50 as at present and close at
2 pm. as they do now.
The banks also have selected Fri
day instead of Thursday for the
late afternoon service, Mr.. Fleming
added, 1t will be permissible for
the banks to remain open until 6
pm, instead of the $50 limit pre-
vailing under the present rule.
Saturday Time Absorbed.
The earlier daily hours and the
longer afternoon hours more than
absorb the loss of the two and g
half hours on Saturdays. Anticipat-
ing that the President would sign
the bill, the directors of many banks
have acted on the new hours and
the others will do so as soon as DOS
sible. Mr.. Fleming stated.
For some time Government de-
partments have been closed on Sat-
urday. The enactment of this law
places employees of banking institu-
tions on a comparable basis with
those in the Government. Friday
was selected as the most desirable
day for the late afternoon service
because it falls on the day before
the Saturday holiday
Bankers Sponsored Bill.
The Saturday closing bill was
sponsored by the District Bankers
Association when presented before
Congress and was indorsed by the
District Building and Loan League.
Through independent action taken
three weeks ago, the Capitals 27
building and loan associations al
ready are closing Saturdays during
July and August.
Steps were taken to obtain five
day week when the banks ran into
difficulty in recruiting employees on
six-day basis. Washington banks
are said to be leading the nation
in year around closing though
banking intitutions in New York
and other cities are closing Satur-
days during the summer.
While the Clearing House fixes
maximum hours, it is possible that
some banks will shorten their late
afternoon hours, If business is slow,
as they have under present regu-
lation, officials said yesterday.

Treatyto EndU. Veto
In Atom Control Action
Is Proposed by U. 5.
Russio Is Expected,
However, to Demand
Adherence to Charter
BY the Assoeio ed Press

NEW YORK. July l3.-The
United States proposed tonight
that the veto on atomic ques-
tions be eliminated by interna =
tional treaty rather than by
amendment to the United Ma
tions charter.
In a new memorandum. submit
ted to the u. N. Atomic Energy
Commission, American Representa-
tive Bernard NJ Baruch proposed
that the veto issue be disposed OF
in the proposed treaty setting up
an atomic-control system.
This would make it unnecessary to
amend the charter. which some of
the atomic commission delegates
have admitted would be difficult
if not impossible, in view of Rus
sia's avowed opposition.
Asks Voluntary Agreement.
There was no indicatio how
ever, that Russia would be any more
willing to surrender her veto rights
by treaty than by amendment.
The Baruch proposal provides that
the Security Council would main
tain jurisdiction over atomic mat
/ ters which actually threatened world
peaN. but that the five permanent
members of the council would agree
voluntarily not to use their veto
rights on atomic questions.
The proposed atomic development
authority. the memorandum said
would be given power to handle
control violations which were not
considered a threat to peace.
Here is the way decisions on
atomic questions would be handled
under the United States plan:
/. In administrative matters, the
decision of the authority would be
final.
Might Appeal Decisions.
2. On questions not sufficiently
grave to endanger peace, decisions
of the authority might either be
appealed to special board or en-
forced by the Security Council as
"procedural matters" if any nation
refused to obey orders of the au-
thority.
3. Offenses which endanger peace
would be subject to action by the
Security Council, but the five big
powers would agree not to use the
veto
The control established by the
treaty would be wholly Intellectual
if, in any such situations. to be
defined in the treaty, the enforce
ment of security provisions could be
prevented by the vote of a state
which has signed the treaty." the
memorandum said.
ANY other conception would
render the whole principle of veto
ridiculous. 1t is intended to be an
instrument for the protection of
nations, not shield behind which
deception and criminal acts can
be performed with impunity"
The memorandum then added:

Polish Vice Premier
Charges Fraud, Asks
Notification Of Vote
Tells Writers Thousands
Of Damaged Ballots
Were Found in Sewers
ey the Assol ,oted Press


WARSAW, July l3.-Vice Pre-
mier Stanislaw Mikolajc jczyk,
head of the opposition Polish
Peasant party, declared tods y
that he would demand that the
provisional government nullify
the referendum of June 80 on
the grounds of irregularity in
voting and in counting of bal
lots.
/ At news conference for foreign
correspondents, he exhibited q
thousand partially burned and de-
stroyed ballots he said were sal.
vaged from sewers and refuse heaps
He charged that many partially
destroyed ballots with negative
votes were dumped into the sewers
and that around Warsaw alone
thousands" of ballots were burned
ar partially destroyed.
Removal o. Ballots Admitted.
Yesterday Referendum Commis-
sioner Barczikowski said in a state
ment that previous charges made
by Mikolajczyk of Irregularities and
fraud in the voting and counting
were not confirmed by an investi-
cation. The commission admitted
that In some instances ballots were
removed to other places for count
ing and that some provincial COM
mittees had barred Polish peasant
party members from election COM
missions.
"A Moscow radio broa dcast
said tonight that the results of
the referendum proved beyond
question that the Polish people
+ are behind their government and
that no fresh maneuvers by
the Mikolajczyk group and its
patrons abroad can minimize the
significance of the fact that Pol
ish reaction has lost.')
Mikola jczyk charged that before
during and after the referendum
government security police arrested
more than 5000 peasant party men,
bers.
Mikolajcyk said that his party was
not represented on the government
presidium which ordered publica-
tion yesterday Of official results OF
the referendum, in which the gov
ernment won endorsement of It's
policies.
Sever Censorship Charged.
He declared that lack OF such
representation was in violation of
the decision of the United States
Britain and Russia at the Moscow
conference which guaranteed his
party equal representation in the
provisional government, established
little more than a year ago.
Mikola jczyk, who was premier OF
the Polish government in London
charged that censorship of peasant
party newspapers was so severe
that he had no opportunity to reveal
the truth except through statements
to foreign snewsmen.
Mikolajczyk declared that he had
received reports from local commit
tees in IL cities, including Warsaw
that showed 1884 per cent Of the
vote had been negative on the first
question in the referendum which
asked whether the voters approved
a one-horse legislature.
The peasant party had opposed
the single house legislature but en-
dorsed the other two questions, deal
