Colo.,) a member of the Banking
committee which approved 1t
Thursday, charged the OPA chief
tain was laying a "smoke SCREEN
in the hope that he would get the
measure now in hand and not
something more unsatisfactory.
Taft echoed this view, with the
assertion that he thought Mr.. Tru-
man would be glad to get a bill
that largely parallels the measure
he vetoed except for the profits
amendment.
The original Taft proposal,
against which the President d.
rected most of his criticism, would
have required OPA to make manu-
facturers' price ceilings high
enough to include the price each
manufacturer received on every
item in the Oct. 1-15, 1941, base
period, plus the weighted average
unit cost increase in the industry
since then.
Another amendment by Senator
Wherry (R-Neb.) specified that
ceilings from distributors, whole
salers and retailers must allow
them their Jan. /, 1916 markups
or discounts, based on current
costs.
Thursday the Banking committee
changed the Taft amendment to
provide that the base period shall
be the full year 1910, and that
added costs be computed on an
industry-wide, rather than a spec
ific unit, average basis. Various
exemptions were written in giving
considerable discretion to OPA.

In addition to control of atomic
raw materials at their source,
the United States advocated an
alright system of controls
over research and production,
including elaborate safeguards
to permit inspection OF all
facilities.
Authority Production
The memorandum said it might
even be advisable for the authority
to manufacture atomic power and
sell 1t to Individual nations. rather
than to permit the nations to pro-
duce their own power, when the
production of such power becomes
practical.
1t also proposed that any inter-
national move to outlaw the pro-
duction of atomic weapons be in
cluded in the control system and
not be considered as a separate
measure as Russia has demanded.
The new American document was
discussed for almost two hours by
a six-nation subcommittee of the
atomic commission in a closed ses-
sion. 1t was understood that
Soviet Delegate Andrea A. Gromy-
ko was particularly interested in
the proposals for an inspection
system.
Jump Boundary Lines
These proposals provided that the
authority be given broad rights
for unhindered use of communica-
tons and travel facilities without
regard to International boundaries
and that it even be permitted tc
set up it's own system of radio
communication.
Gromyko, who previously had
proposed that each nation be res
ponsible for the supervision of
atomic production within its bound
aries, was reported to have asked
numerous questions about the U.
S. plan. There was no indication,
however. that he had changed his
position.
Separate From U. N.
The subcommittee also opened
its discussions of another major
point; the relationship between the
proposed authority and the Secur-
ity Council. Russia was under

GRITTY a subsidiary Of the Security
Council, while the United States,

the authority's decisions should be
final in some matters, but subject
to review in others. It said an
other document would De submit
ted later dealing more fully with
this subject and WITH the question
of sanctions for violations OF reg
ulations.

its discussions Monday and will

Y%ear-round residents of h e

came. However, many summer

came from upstate where the re-

a hurricane on the way here.
At two o'clock this morning an

at Carolina Beach and that people
who had left earlier in the evening
were returning to the beach. The
reporter also reported r 6 e

many still in bathing. He said the
seas never reached the boardwalk.
Policeman Buck Mabry, Wrights-

serious property damage other

whether to spread a warning to
