Curbs .Moy Be Lost In OPA Bill
Administration FOresees SeFappIRg or kH eONfFOIe

Washington, June 27-(UP)-The new OPA bill would force an imme- diate revision-if not a complete scrapping of Government wage con- trols, Administration officials said today.
 The present wage stabilization program calls only for indirect con- trols.. A manufacturer, for instance, can grant all the wage increases he wants to, but he may not neces- sarily use them to justify higher OPA prices on his products.
 The OPA has refused to authorize higher prices because of wage in- creases unless the pay boosts were approved by stablization officials. This has fortified management'S re- EiStance to wage increases.
 Wages Included in Costs
 The new OPA bill, however, car- ries an amendment to require OPA to allow manufacturers their 1941 prices, plus increased production costs since then. These production costs would include all pay raises, regardless of whether they had ap- proval from stabilization officials.
 Federal officials say this would put indirect wage control out of business. The present policy was adopted in mid February, and was used to settle the steel strike then and set a pattern for settlement of later labor disputes.
 Under the pending OPA bill, wages could be controlled only through direct restrictions, officials say. Direct controls were in effect during the war when no wage in- creases could be granted without government approval.
 Since the Stabilization Law was enacted in October, 1942, wage pol- icy has been left in the hands of the President. The question of re- viving direct controls would be one for President Truman to decide.
 Opposition Expected
 A proposal to adopt such controls probably would meet heavy opposi- ti6n from organized labor and per- haps some Government officials. When the present policy was being formulated, the Labor Department and the Wage Stabilization Board successfully resisted proposals for riviving direct controls.
 One Government official said MT. Truman could not tighten wage controls while price controls were being relaxed.
 Some Government and labor off, cials have predicted freely that all wage controls would be abandoned unless effective price control was continued. In general, those same officials regarded the pending legis- lation as unsatisfactory.

the Nazi-Soviet pact, claiming
 1t was in contradiction to the
 secret annex of the Anti-Com-
 mentern Pact.
 3. The Japanese ambassador
 in Berlin double-crossed his own
 government by not formally
 placing its protest before the
 Nad Foreign Office when the
 latter informed him the Nazi
 answer would be "ill-tempered."
 {. The NaM Foreign Office
 met Japan's demand in June,
 19AO, after the fall of France,
 for help in getting Japanese
 control of Indo-C China with
 bill of particulars citing Japan's
 failure to cooperate with the
 NaMs.
 The NaM Foreign Offlce accused Japan of submitting to English and blockade controls, of refus- ing transit of goods through Japan for Germany, of monopoizing M1anchulno's soy bean supply al- though Germany formerly was the largest importer; of refusing the return of the crew of the s. S. Columbus from America.
 Scheme Revealed July
 The Nazi scheme for the Japanese attack on Russia = instead of an attack on Pearl Harbor-was re- vealed in a telegram of July l, 194l from German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop to the German ambassador in Toyko fol delivery to the Japanese Foreign Office. It said:
 'The approaching collapse of the military power of Russia and the probable fall of the Bolshevist re- gime itself offers to Japan the unique opportunity to free herself from the Russian threat and to give the Japanese empire security in the north, which is necessary prerequisite to her expansion in the south in accordance with her vital needs.
 Tt seems to me, therefore, the requirement. of the hour that the Japanese army should, as quickly as possible, get into possession oi VladivoStok and push as far as possible toward the west.
 The aim of such an operation should be that, before the coming of cold weather, the Japanese army advancing westward should be able to shake hands at the half - way mark with German troops advanc' ing to the east.

 In contraSt, veterans back on their iobs at other local factories where the M.MS.W. union has con- tracts are guaranteed . floor" Of at least 70 to 90 hours pay, depend- ing on the amount of seniority.
 AGankOwslki OveFruled
 The new U. s. Time local was formed recently after Q referendum vote had favored the breaking of ties with Local 251, which had previously represented U. s. Time employees. Unit officers had been in conflict with MM.S.W. leaders here. In one phase of the con- troversy, Executive Board Member John Mankowsl1i refused to approve the new contract with the factory. On the plea of James Galullo, unit chairman, the international over- ruled MT. Mankowski and approved the contract.
 MT. 0alullo and his shop com- mittee were scheduled to meet to- day to take up the vacation pay protests.
 Directive IBsued
 Under union contracts with American Brass, Chase, Scovill and Oakville Companies, veterans re- suming their jobs before the end of the vacation year get at least 40 hours vacation pay even if they work but short time.
 International Representative John J. Driscoll said today that the vaca- tion pay floor" for returning serv- icemen, had been won by War Labor Board directive in 1945 and was in- corporated into 1046 contracts by negotiatiOn.

keep on trying" he said. They might change their minds.
 If we got the Sierra, we would break it up into about 300 to $50 karats of polished diamonds and they would retail for around $2,000,- 000"
 De Witt said that two diamonds larger than the famoue Hope stone, owned by Washington's Mrs. Evalyn Walch Mclean. could be cut from the Sierra but we wouldn't do it.. There's no market for stones that expensive any more"
 Some cynics claim that it's taxes, not royalty, which stand between De Witt and the clear blue dia- mond.
 Would Be Taking Risk
 No matter how much De Witt paid, the Britishers would lose most of 1t to the government in income tax. If they hold on for a few years taxes may be cut.
 If lean years come the firm can always sell.
 T wouldn't know about that" De- Witt said. "All I know is that we would like to buy"
 But cutting into such a diamond would really give him goose pim- pies.
 You cut little place with another diamond first" he explained, and then you slip in tiny piece of steel. You press down. Bingo she opens.
 But the risk is pretty great.
 If you miss the grain she'll chip ell over the place" De Witt sad.
 There's nothing to be done about 1t either. You just kiss your $l.O0O.- 900 profit goodbye.

(CoEltinued from Page D the interests of the majority of the people. His vote has been termed a liberal one and he has proven an active, diligent legislator.
 A lifelong resident of New Haven, Congressman Geelan IS a graduate of St. Anthony's College, San Antonio, Texas. He was first elected to Congress in 1914.
 A former three times state sera- tor he was elected to the latter post in 1038-4O and 42 He was assistant city court clerk of New Haven from 194l and 1943 and is former vice. president of the New Haven Gen. tral Labor Council.
 He refuses to assert himself on the coming campaign at this time holding to the belief that the pres- ent is premature and more for nal message at this time would not, l think, be in good taste"
 Geelan may be opposed by State Representative George c. Conway of Guihord, in the 3rd District, early reports indicate. Although Ranulf Compton, unsuccessful can- didate against Geelan two years ago has again announced his candidacy on the COP ticket New Haven sources declare that Republican Party leaders have prevailed upon him to withdraw.
 CAAYax x,,a1l ,,vado,,I,ka,iI1, raoAiva the support of the Connecticut la bor parties. He is not, however, sink or-swim labor supporter, an estimate developed by the occa- sions when he has been frankly outSpoken against certain labor de- mandS.
 He is conscientious, StuciOus and determined and has proven himself legislator of grade far above that of the average member of Con- greSS," one prominent state labol official declared.
 The New Haven solon is a mem- Der of the House Labor Committee the committee on Rivers and Har- bors, and Coinage, Weight and Measures.
 Son of Thomas and Mary Mo- Donnell Geelan, longtime residents of New Haven, he is married to the former Elizabeth M. Doll and they have four children.
 He Is definitely interested in re- election and believes that his record will hold him up to favorable pub- lie inspection. His personal plat form is contained in his following statement to this writer:
 T am firmly convinced that un- less you are a liberal and conscien- tiously devote yourself to the duties of your office, and to aid in the passage of legislation to improve the lot of the average person or the common man, 80 called, then nt candidate from my district or any district in Connecticut can long bs successful" All of which sounds like . con- else, statesmanlike axiom.
