 Safety Standards

San Francisco = A safety code for factories, with emphasis on prevention of accidents as indus trial rehabilitation gets underway in nations scared by war, was completed here by technical ex- perts of eight countries. It will be printed for a tri-partite confer ence of government, employer delegates meeting in 1947 under auspices of the International La bor Office.
 A statement issued following the sessions said in part:
 "The code covers conditions found in various factories through out the world and deals with many special industries, such as explo- sives, magnesium, manufacture, celluloid, handling of strong acids and other corrosive and harmful substances.
 Tt not only covers the field with regard to mechanical processes, but to respiratory protective devices, clothing and other means which can be taken to prevent injuries during operations.
 Primarily, our object was to set up standards whereby employees would not be unduly exposed to harmful conditions, but where it was apparent, due to the process involved, that there might be some exposure our task was to suggest some protection against such ex- posure."

 WAS OPEN SECRET

SEATTLE, June 28.-The defense fired it's heaviest broadsides today in an effort to show that "confi- dential' data marine engineer Her. bert Kennedy testified he sold to Russian Navy It. Nicolai G. Redin was freely obtainable, visually in Seattle's harbor or in papers, books and magazines sold on newsstands ever since V-J day.

 He denied that, after he had contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding Redin's purported money offers for specific data on the Yellowstone. he acted as an agent provocateur.

 PEACE DECISION

PARIS, June 28.--Secretary of
 State Byrnes has served notice on the Foreign Ministers Council that he intends to press for decision on the calling of a general Europ- can peace conference. an Ameri- | can informant said.
 At the same time, the Moscow radio was broadcasting a report that there was a trend in United
 States foreign policy toward a sep arate peace in Europe
 There is no question" a Mos
 COW commentator said, that there
 are people and organizations in the
 United States who place their par ty or other internal political in-
 terests above the interests of in-
 ternational peace, to say nothing of
 the fact that undoubtedly some ele-
 ments in the United States are
 not at all pleased at the prospect of stable and lasting peace' The ministers, considerably ell
 coaraged by the solution yesterday of the Dodecanese Islands and the
 French-Italian border questions, in- structed their deputies to bring in skeleton drafts of peace pacts for
 Italy, Bulgaria, Rumania, Hungary and Finland for today's session. A British source said that with all five treaties before them. the ministers would be able to take up any topic they desired. This might lead to further discussion of the
 knotty problem of Trieste. consid- | cred the key to solving the re- maining issues.

HOT ACTON KEEPING UP
 ON MEASURE
President Told to Sign II When Passed as Best
 We Can Get''

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Sena- tors pressed a price-raising OPA bill toward final passage today and advised President Truman to take it.
 This is the best bill We can get out of Congress now and it is either take that or nothing" Democratic Leader Barkley tKy) said he told the President. Even If it had nothing in it but rent controls, it would be worth signing"
 Barkley and other Congressional leaders visited the White House during the forenoon to urge MT. Truman to sign the measure. They reported, however, that the Presi- dent gave no sign of his intentions.
 The bill requires thousands of price ceilings to be revised to cover cost increases, bars interference with dealers normal profit mar gins, limits food subsidies, sets up board to remove controls from certain items, and eliminates a regulation compelling clothing man. ufacturers to turn out percen- tage of low-price garments.
 Much of the OPA's authority over food prices is shifted to the agriculture department. The price control law itself is extended for a full year and rent controls are un- changed.
 Last-ditch arguments by Senators who favored junking the measure and permittii4s price control to die at midnight Sunday delayed a fin- al Senate action. Each speaker was limited to one hour, however. as result of an agreement obtained by Barkley early this morning at the end of an eight-hour filibuster by Senator ODanieJ (D-Texas)

BILLION '5AvED'!
 10 TREASURY AT
 FISCAL YEAR-END

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Pros- poets appeared good today for the Government to finish out its fiscal years Sunday more than $1,00O, ,000,- 900 better off than President Tru- man forecast in April
 But the 12-month deficit still will top $2o,O0O, 100000, and much of the saving" may sigipIy spill ever into the books for the new fiscal year
 Latest Treasury figures indicate that revenue receipts may top the $42, ,932 ,O00, 900 MT. Truman foresaw April II, while actual expenditures may fall below his $64, ,654, ,000, ,000 estimate by more than $1 1000 ,000,- 900.
 Most of the saving" appears at tributable to the slow progress of the foreign lending program, in- cluding the British loan still be- fore Congress. Thus it may con- stitute merely a deferment of .hls 0utgo until fiscal l947.

PRICE RAISE FOR CANNED
 SALMON SEI
Ten Per Cent Hike Approv- ed to Cover increased
 Costs and Taxes

WASHINGTON, June 28.-OPA today boosted price ceilings on canned salmon by 10 percent for consumers, canners and wholesalers.
 The jump at retail will amount to rise of two to three cents for a one-pound can of pink salmon and four to five cents for Alaska red salmon, OPA said.
 It stems from a 10 percent in- crease in canners' prices for all canned salmon, designed to cover wage and operating costs as we'll as new taxes levied by the Territory of Alaska
 The increase will be felt at re- tail when the new pack, carrying the higher cannery prices. reaches the stores. Present stocks of can ned salmon are ,lot changed in price.
 Set To Cut Operations
 If the industry had been held to the old prices. OPA explained cannery companies were preparing to cut down operations to guard against possible losses and thus "re- duce the flow of salmon to market ,
 The increases apply to canned salmon produced in the Pacific Coast States as well as Alaska. The West Coast last year contributed about 10 percent of the total pack and the new action preserves the price relationship between their out put and that of Alaska.
 Simultaneously. OPA boosted by two cents a pound the fishermen's prices for sockeye, steelhead and chinook salmon (other than troll- caught) sold for canning on the West Coast in spring and summer.
 Not For Fresh Fish
 No increase in the retail prices of fresh salmon results from the latter action, which applies from May to August 31.
 The incresase are designed to provide the industry with a per- oentage of profit equivalent to that averaged from 1886 through 1940.
 In addition to labor costs, al- ready incurred, OPA said that the new. price scale takes into account increased Territorial taxes on fish ing traps and a levy to be made this year of 10 cents per case on all king and red salmon, and four cents case on other species. IT addition a tax of one-half of one percent also is being levied against the market value of the total Alas ka pack for the year.
 TOO LITTLE TOO LATE
 SEATTLE, June 28.-P. E. Har- ris, salmon broker, said today in- creased prices on salmon. author ized in Washington, D. O., today were too little and too late" He said the increase would do little to stimulate production for which it was designed We ex- pected and need at least 20 per- cent boost to offset heavy labor transportation and other costs" he said.
 He pointed out that the OPA in- crease meets less than half of the additional production costs and is too late to be of much, if any benefit to the salmon packers.

 The business world, although get ting the reduction in the excess profits " levy, was disappointed in not having this wartime measure abolished altogether, as it has been in the United States and Britain

 This will be done by raising the exemption level for single persons from $660 to $750 and for married persons without dependents from S1,200 to $500. In the United States single taxpayers begin pay ing on $500 income, in Britain on $490, and in Australia and New Zealand on $700.
 Flat rate. taxes on corporate in- comes are to be reduced from 4C to 30 percent, and the excess pro- fits tax is cut from 20 to Is per- cent. with sole proprietors and partnership exempt.

By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Civilian Produc- tion Administrator Jack Small, worried over race-track construc- ton while veterans are denied homes, has now sent out orders to his branch offices to spur veterans housing.
 Some of these problems were dis cussed with Small at recent clos cd door meeting with representa- tives of the major veterans groups when Wesley Pearce of the veter- ans of Foreign Wars preached the subject of the new race track in Monmouth County, N. J., which is being built with CPA okay.
 Now, wait minute" interrupts ed, Small. That particular race track was started before we hac established effective building con- trols.
 You can't blame me-" he insist ed. T admit that it was a mistake Hut it was started last November before we instituted these stop orders on non-essential construc- ton. The materials were already on the ground. The contractor couldn't get by with anything like that now"
 Small did not, however, explain why the race track hadn't beer stopped by the CPA.
 Just before the meeting broke up, VFW,s Jim Gillian asked Smal about the 250-room addition t(

 T don't think much of the atom test" the outspcken Major declared He has said before he thinks the destructiveness of the tonic bomt has been overdrawn.

 Committee OK

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Presi- dent Truman has nominated $500 top cream" veterans of World War II as permanent officers in the re- gular army.
 They were selected by the War Department from an original list of l08,0O0 applicants, all of whom held temporary commissions in the wartime citizen army
 The nominations, which went to the Senate for confirmation, will bring the officer corps of the re- gular army to it's authorized strength of 25,000.
 A Senate Military subcommittee yesterday approved doubling this figure to 50,000 after hearing Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower testify that the additional officers may be needed for the next 25 or 30 years.
 The War Department said it en- ployed a new screening process in the selections designed to find the best leaders in the world today"
 Voluntary withdrawals and fail ure to pass rigid physical exam nations trimmed the original ap- plicant list from 108,000 to 81,OO0, the Department said.
 Those who failed to make the grade in today's list will have an- other opportunity if Congress fol- lows the recommendation of Eisen- hcwer and the Senate subcom- mittee.
