The latest plan, it was said, would
permit industry to make dispute
settling wage concessions to their
workers, and apply Immediately for
a price increase to cover the added
cost. If the price request were rea-
sonable, OPA would allow 1t to be-
come effective subject to an imme-
date and complete study of the in
dustry's cost situation.
The industry's final price ceilings
would be determined by the OPA
review. Further increases would be
granted II the temporary ceiling
proved too low. On the other hand
prices would be lowered If costs were
cut by full production.
Stabilizing effect OF the plan
would be derived from the firmness
and equity of OPA in judging the
merits of industry's claims for tenn
porary price relief.

Rodent Control
Important For
Typhus Control

The importance of the recent
rat control campaign here was
emphasized this week when the
Mississippi State Board of Health
reminded that fleas living on rats
are the carriers of dread typhus
fever. Symptoms of the disease
usually appear about II days af-
ter a person is bitten by an infect
ed flee, according to H, d. CALI
han.
Such symptoms, said he, may be
a severe headache, chill, extreme
p~roStration and high fever, and in
some cases a rash may develop.
Convalencence is apt to be long,
stated Mr.. Callihan, and may
leave the victim so exhausted and
weakened that he is unable to
work for several weeks. Some
people who have had typhus fe-
e report that both in its acute
stage and its long debilitation it

not hold out alone. They express
ed particular resentment over
the gold settlement = because
France figured heavily in the
episode of the $l30,000,000 of
stolen gold.
This was the story:
The $3.50, 600, 900 originally be-
longed to Belgium, which de-
posted it in the Bank of France
at the start of the War. When
France collapsed, the gold was
struggled out to Dakar in French
West Africa, but the Vichy gov
eminent eventually brought it
back and turned it over to the
Germans.
France Held the Bag
Germany appropriated the
gold and the French claim, ca
ched It in Switzerland for safe
keeping and to buy war mater
ials. When the war was over,
France was hard-pressed itself
but reimbursed Belgium for the
lost gold, hoping to get much of
it back from the Germans. I'm
der the Swiss agreement France
will get but a fraction, and
French claims will have to be
balanced against those of other
Allied nations.
Hence the French are asking
why a neutral country which
maintained profitable trade with
Germany through much of the
war should be permitted to keep
gold looted by the Nazis from
Allied countries.
The Swiss denial that the gold
was looted does not impress
France, and probably does not
convince other European Allied
nations which suffered from Ger
man aggression.

BY GRAHAM HOVEY
AP Staff Writer

WaShington-The recent Allied
Swiss agreement for disposal of
German assets in Switzerland had
a lot of significance, and the
three months of hard bargaining
which produced it also produc-
ed of some fascinating related
angles.
One of these was an attempt
to trace $780, 900 900 of stolen
gold which apparently showed
up in five countries during the
war.
The agreement was significant
because it set a pattern for Allied
negotiations on German assets
with the other European wartime
neutfals- S weden, Spain and
Portugal. The Allies got only
about half a loaf from the
Swiss. They hardly can expect
more from the others.
International Law Fails
More important from a long
range view is that the agreement
apparently tossed into discard a
lot of previously-accepted inter-
national law concerning neutrals.
This was the picture when ne
gotiations started in Washington
March ID:
The United States, Britain and
France claimed all German as
sets in Switzerland, which they
estimated at upwards of $780,
900 900. They said it was neces-
sary to take over these hold
ings to make certain they never
could be used to help Germany
rearm. Also, they added, the AL
lied countries devastated by Ger
many had a right to use the as
sets to rebuild.
The Swiss had different ideas.
They would seize the assets -
which they estimated at only
about $3.50, 900 ,000-and guaran-
tee they never would be used to
finance a German war machine.
They said that under %interna-
tional law they could not turn
the assets over to the Allies with
out compromising their neutral
ity. Also, they had claims OF
their own against Germany which
they believed should be satisfied
from the assets.
The Bargaining Tactics
Allied officials suggested tart
ly that perhaps the loss of these
Swiss claims against Germany
would constitute the price of neu-
trality in a World War. Indirect
ly, the Swiss were given to UNI
derstand that unless they came
across, the United States might
be slow in releasing about ST.

The Swiss were stubborn. They
said a lot of what the Allies call.
ed German assets were really
Swiss, having been acquired il
legitimate trade transactions.
Twice the negotiations begged
down.
Finally a compromise was
reached. The Swiss would keeI
half the German assets, exclu.
sive of gold money, and give the
other half to the Allies. The Swiss
would keep all the gold money
estimated at $88, 000, 900, but
would pay the Allie about two
thirds of that amount-$58, l40,

Law Yields to Policy
The Swiss saio no more about

all the assets. They conceded,
however, hat by using the froz-

they probably could have fore

The United States was unwill-
