France and Mexico
Reported Opposing
Spain on World Court
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Oct. 15.-
France and Mexico were reported
today to have Joined Russia and
Poland in opposing SPANS admit
tance to the international Court Of
Justice on q nonmember basis.
An authoritative source made this
disclosure as the Security Council
prepared to debate q question raised
by Poland on the courts month-old
request for guidance on the condi-
tions under which nonmembers may
bring q case before the high judi
ciaI organ In the Hague.
The reported lineup against Spain
was generally the same as that which
developed last spring on Poland's
resolution in the Council demanding
a general rupture of diplomatic re-
lations between the United Nations
and the government of Generals
sino Franco.
Original Case ON Agenda.
Russia at that time vetoed several
watered down versions of the Polish
motion on the ground that they were
not harsh enough, but the original
Spanish case remains on the agenda,
The present question of admit
ting nonmembers to the interna-
tional court had been considered
over the last five months in the
Councils committee of experts on
procedure. 1t finally was handed
back to the Council with Poland re-
serving the right to argue it out in
open session.
Franco Spain, the only govern
ment specifically condemned by the
major powers and the United Ma
tions as unfit for membership in the
U. N. was the only one named in
the experts discussion for exclu-
sion from the courts services.
Can, Inspect Roster.
One contention in the minority
opinion handed up to the Council
was that the admittance of Spain
would set dangerous precedent"
In this connection 1t was pointed
out that a nation before the court
has the privilege of inspecting the
roster of judges who will hear q
case and can insist upon installing
a Judge of its own nationality or q
partisan power.
On the majority side the United
States took, the position that the
court should be open to all comers
on juridioal basis, disregarding
political considerations.
Russia recently has won and lost
in efforts to bar Spain from agencies
affiliated with the U. N. Spain was
refused a place on the Narcotics
Control Board, but Russia was de-
feated in trying to deny Spain
membership in the Provisional In
ternational Aviation Organization
and the International Chamber of
Commerce.

been designations in Seattle, San
Francisco and Dallas.
It remained to be seen whether
Mr.. Truman actually will try to
persuade the two national board
members to stay, as he said he
might, or whether he will replace
them.
Still another possibility is that the
present setup of two members each
from industry, labor and the public
might be replaced with an all-public
panel.
Labor Members May Quit.
Also, even should Mr.. Barrett and
Mr.. Cannon remain on the board,
there is no guarantee that labor
members will not decide to walk out.
The AFL long has favored elimi-
nation of wage controls and some
of its top leaders want the AFL
member to withdraw. The CIO
doesn't like wage controls, either,
but it has been less outspoken about
quitting the board.
One ranking official privately en-
phasized that the actual liquidation
of the pay curbs, will be accom-
plished pretty quickly" He added
that as more and more items are
removed from price control, the
board will have less and less to do.
Its sole control over wages Is con-
fined to those industries whose out
put is under OPA ceilings, and then
only when pay increases are to be
used to apply for higher prices.
BY his speech last night, Mr..
Truman charted the eventual end
of the wage controls ne has been
relaxing gradually since August Is,
1945.

The policy laid down that day
was meant to restore a measure OF
freedom for workers and employers
alike after more than three years

Unions Immediately sought In

a shorter work week.
BY October 80, 1945, the rumblings
of large-scale wage struggles already
had been heard. The first OF the
big industry wide strikes had oc-
Cured in the oil trade. So Mr.. Tru-
man revised his policy little, all

The Treasury stands to save well
over $500, 0,000, 900 through President
Truman's action In ending subsi-
dies on meats along with price con-
trols.
An official Of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, which has been vnak-
ing the payments, said today that
it appears only about $40 0,000, 900 Of
the $500 900 900 Congress authorized
for that purpose may be used.
Last year, the official said, meat
subsidies averaged between $50, ,000,-
600 and $4,000, 900 monthly. He
added, however, that since the pay
promptly dropped the 2-cent daily
limit. Traders considered it prob
able that the anticipated increase
In meat supplies would lower high
consumer demand for eggs.
! The nearby October delivery
showed the entire decline, hitting a
low and current price ranging from
Abs to Alb cents dozen.
Poultry likewise declined with eggs
at all markets. Live chickens at
New York dropped 2 cents pound
yesterday In anticipation Of possible
decontrol of meat.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange
announced price tumbles Of S cents
q pound in the two days on roasters
and cents on chickens, Other
prices, however, remained generally

Leather prices, however, remain
under price control, and tanners
and shoe manufacturers said it would
be some months before any substan-
tial increase in hides and shoes
would be felt from any increased

Still missing from stores, however

return these items to ceilings, will
the agency know whether to print

Mr.. Holmes said.
Mr.. Holmes reminded consumers
that price lists for beer sold for off

a price increase granted brewers

amounts to about cent on a 12-
