BowIes-Snow Farley Odd

Reports that Chester Bowles, for. mer Economic Stabilizer, and Wills tert Snow, Connecticut's lieutenant- governor, have been urged to sit down together and decide which would receive the Democratic Par tvs nomination for governor seemed somewhat "far-fetched" and "fan- tastic," according to sources close to affairs.
 Bowles, as reported in The Demo- crat month ago, eagerly seeks the gubernatorial post but Snow, al- though the Party's number one choice for the governorship, has a strong preference for the senatoriaa nomination.
 These are desires known to be held by the men and certainly known to top Party leaders. It does not seem likely in such an event there would be any need for the two to sit down together to de- eide an alleged issue that is so clear in the minds of each.
 Too, it seems very doubtful, know ing the nature of the top Party leaders, particularly Sen. Brien McMahon) that these leaders would adopt such a chance method of choosing top candidates.
 Party leaders definitely preferred Bowles as a senatorial candidate rather than gubernatorial prin- cipally because they view him as a political neophyte, who might prove dangerous to party interests as the party whip while governor. Snow. they view as a potential candidate for either the gubernatorial or sen- atorial posts.
 There will be little choosing of Bowles as a candidate until the ul- innate fate of the OPA is deter mined. Chester Bowles may smell too bad by mid-July to be a candi- date for anything" one Party leader expressed 1t. Bowles will wait on the Party-not visa versa.

 US. Policy On Bikini'
Say Disarmament Confidence Lost
 Through Tests

Moscow, July 3 - CUP) - The Communist Party newspaper, Pra- vda, today bitterly attacked Am- erican atomic policy, asserted that the Bikini tests undermined confi- dence in the seriousness of Am erican atomic disarmament and sug- gested that the American Navy was holding back information on the Bikini experiments.
 The attack, couched in biting terms, was written by Boris Isakov, Pravda commentator, and accom- panied the first reports in the So- viet press of the Bikini experiment.
 The Bikini test, said the news paper, has thoroughly undermined the confidence on had in the seri- ousness of American talks on atom disarmament. =..@. :.
 Readers isillusioned
 Why carry out this costly and sensational test over Bikini If the United States has made up its mind to denounce atomic weapons? The tests carried out are witness not to the preparations to destroy this weapon, on the contrary, tc work toward it's perfection
 The newspapers published dis patches by the official Soviet news agency, Tass, from New York as- serting that information received to date from Bikini has disillus. toned millions of readers of Ameri- can newspapers who in the course Continued Page (REDS)

City Landlords Fair
Suspension  Hits Owners
 Cracks in Price
 Lines Other Than
 Rent Appear

Many eviction proceedings in- stituted by local landlords follow ing the expiration of OPA controls were up in the air" today as a re- suit of the emergency order by which Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin suspended the State Eviction Stat ute.
 Despite the executive order, which aalts the serving of notice to quit and also bars landlords from sum- mary process action, additional rent increases were reported here today.
 Landlords who increase rents be- yond the OPA ceiling rates cannot now start eviction proceedings against tenants provided they pay their rent under the old OPA rates, and their only step in such cases can be the filing of civil suits for collection of the higher rent.
 Cracks in the hold the line" pol icy have begun to develop here, though major stores are still hold ing to OPA prices. Prices of milk shakes and other milk drinks were raised in some places far above the figure necessary to meet the recent two-cent increase in the price of milk per quart.
 Many dealers raised the price of beer, the newest increase being two cents a bottle. Tavern and restau- rant owners reported that the cost of beer has been raised 60 cents and more by some breWerieS. Scarce food items were commanding prices well above OPA levels in number Of stores.
 Local food prices are in for gen. eral increases once present stocks are exhausted, it ppears certain. The United Press this afternoon quoted Dun & BradStreet survey as showing present wholesale food prices to be the highest since July, 1920. Wholesale meat prices are hit ting record levels.
 Return of OPA rent control was advocated today by the Waterbury Citizens Committee. The commit tee will Seponsor a radio talk on WATR tomorrow night at 10:30 by Edward J. Ryan. State rent con- trol, to be legislated by special General Assembly session, is urged by MT. Ryan pending congressional action on the OPA extension.
 The Governors suspension of the eviction law came as several scores of eviction actions were being start ed by landlords here. Papers had already been served in an estimated 35 to 40 cases when the order was announced.
 The rent division of the State OPA has asked Connecticut courts to grant extensions or continuances in eviction cases already pending.

 ALL. Mechanics
 Strike for Boost
 Of 18H Cents

St. Paul, Minn., July 3-UP)- A.FL mechanics employed by Northwest Airlines struck at 8 AM CEDT) today, grounding all planes throughout the nationwide network
 From 1,500 to 1900 mechanics employed in the company's terInin- als from New York to Portland and Seattle left their jobs after negotia- tionS were Stymied between the company and the International As Sociation of Machinists.

 Joseph P Ramsey, Grand Lodge representative of the union at the company's St. Paul headquarters, said the strike was 100 percent eff fective." He said no planes would be able to operate because there were no authorized mechanics to Inspect them TOT take OH. ..t-
 He said several hundred union ized pilots were expected to observe the mechanics picket lines.
 However, Ramsey said the union was meeting with the management and members of the Railway Media iton Board, which governs the air. lines, at g A. M. and that a settle ment might be agreed upon at that time.
 Ramsey said that negotiations be- tween the union and company had begged down last May 27 and that the union had warned at that time that it might walk out any time after June 27.
 They just didn't think we would do it. that's all" he said
 Ramsey said the strike call came after the company refused to agree to union demands for an 1812 cent hourly wage increase and working conditions comparable to those on other airlines."

Cooperate on Bill Barkley and Taft Swap OPA Ideas

Washington. July 3-tUP)-Sens Alben W. Barkley tD.-KyD and Ro- bert A. Taft tR.-O0 today swapped ideas on how to extend OPA in a form acceptable to both Congerss and the White House.
 The Democratic and Republican leaders Co-operated in an effort to draw up the outline of a bill for a late afternoon meeting of the Senate Banking Committee.
 Both were working on the idea of a one-yar extension of price and rent controls instead of the house. approved Stop-gap continuance to July 20.
 Details Secret
 Neither Senator would disclose details of tentative proposals for compromise on the amendment riddled measure vetoed Saturday by President Truman.
 Barkley would admit only that he was trying to find an acceptable substitute for Tatt's cost of pro- duction' amendment which MT l uiiIdl SSFtIIy GllUlClGeU.
 After private talk with Taft last night, however, Barkley said the Republican Steering Committee chairman doesn't appear to be in- sisting on his original pricing for mula without change"
 Tafts original amendment would have required OPA to allow manu- lecturers a price adequate to cover the average unit cost of production during Oct. Ills, l94l, plus cost increases since that time.
 Hopeful For Action
 Barkley told reporters he was hopeful the Banking Committee could agree on a compromise one year OPA bill by the end of this week and have it ready for floor consideration Monday.
 It was generally agreed among Senators that a new bill of some sort will be sent to the White House There was no immediate prospect that a rent control measure would be divorced from the general price control bill. Barkley declined to pre- dict when Congress might complete action on revival Of the OPA powers which expired Sunday midnight.
 Taft reported there was strong disposition among Senate Republi- cans to send MT Truman a bill al- most identical with the one he vetoed.
 But there was little likelihood that they would get their wish as long as Taft was willing to talk compromise with Barkley.

87 Percent
 Rent Unchanged
Democrat Surveys Cross-section To Get Truth

Interviews with B local tenants and landlords by The Democrat today disclosed nine cases of rent increases effect- ed since the end of OPA con- trols at midnight Sunday. Eighty-three percent of the cross-section interviewed re- ported no changes in the rent rates of property they occupy or own.
 The survey, conducted by three Democrat reporters, covered several heavily populated sections of the city Varying sentiments on rent control were expressed, but there was a general feeling that the sit- uation will not be fully clarified un- til Congress takes definite further action for or against OPA controls.
 A landlord operating 40 apart mentS said he contemplates no boosts for his tenants. Another large property owner said the same thing. Several tenants receiving increases said they believed them justified, while others said they are willing to meet moderate increases from their landlords.
 One Gets Notice to Quit
 On the other hand, one man re- ported that yesterday he received formal notice to quit, the first step in eviction proceedings Another tenant reported an increase from S33 to s75, while other rent boosts reported ranged from S4 to SIT a month
 | The woman owner of three family house in the Willow Street area. in which she occupies the first floor, said she had raised one rent from S35 to s45 and the other from S3 to s400. T have to raise it that much to pay taxes under my new assessment, which is away up, and to maintain the property she said. l Another woman owner reported | that she had made raises of $5 a | month on two teneInents in the East Main Street section. She de- clined to say what the monthly rent for the tenements had been previously.
 T pay my rent on the 20th and haven't heard of any increase yet" said a Brooklyn tenant Comes In Quickly
 Another tenant in the same sec tion said his rent has been raised $50 to $40. T have to raise 1t that tenement.
 A West End resident telling of an increase from S35 to S52, said its a shame. The landlord came running in to tell me about it just 1 10 minutes after the radio news Saturday afternoon. He's been trying to raise my rent all during the war"
 My landlord said he won't raise | the rent for a month at least" said a North End tenant He said he wants to see what happens" A bachelor living off West Main Street said he got his notice to quit yesterday. I've paid the rent reg ularly,'' he reported, but I guess they figure they can get lot more dough from someone else"
 An East End resident said he didn't object too strenuously to a s increase. T can't blame the land lady; her taxes and costs are 6 lot higher. It could be worse than an increase from s35 to $40"
