The Civil Service Commission will

Labor Now Lined Up
SoIid|y in Opposing
Wage Price Policy
Murroy Joins Green
In Protesting Return
Of Pay Controls
By james Y. Newton

The Governments new wage
price policy, born in strife with
in the administration, today
faced the opposition of labor
lined up solidly against it.
CIO President Philip Murray join
ed the earlier protest of the AFL
against the re-imposition of wage
controls. Mr.. Murray declared that
any return to wartime pay re-
straints, removing them from the
determination of collective bargain
ing, would be catastrophe" and
conducive to further strikes.
The attitude of Mr.. Murray, add
ed to the opinion of AFL President
William Green that the Govern
ment's new program was "unaccept-
able and unWorkable," was expected
to lead to a fight within the Wage
Sterilization Board, designated by
President Truman to pass on virtu-
ally all wage boosts.
Senate Debate Due Today.
The six-man board was divided
yesterday over issuance of a policy
declaration in line with the new
wage-price program. The two AEL
and CIO members opposed the
statement supported by the two
and two public members.
There were reports Immediately
that the labor members might with
draw from the board, successor to
the War Labor Board, but the re-
ports were discounted later by off,
cials of both major union organ
izations.
Meanwhile, the administration
whole policy on price and wage
controls was expected to be debated
today in the Senate.
A showdown was precipitated late
yesterday when the Senate Appro-
priatlons Committee voted II to 9
to cut in half emergency funds
needed by OPA and the Civilian
Production Administration for op-
erations in the remainder of the
fiscal year.
Appropriations Slashed.

asked him if he would consider "as
patriotic American" asking that
his. name be withdrawn if the COM
mittee finds there is no basis for
charges against his character.
No Demand for Answer.
Both Senator Saltonstall and
Chairman Walsh told the nominee
he need not answer unless he wanted
to. Senator Saltonstall said he
asked the question with the thought
that both the Navy and Mr.. Pauley
face a difficult situation"
Il would want to take that under
adVlsement, Mr.. Pauley replied st
might say that suggestion is not
unique. I have read it in almost
every newspaper that I have seen.
but am still here"
After he returned to his seat at
the side of the room, newspapermen
asked him how long he would need
to consider it, but he merely shrug-
ged his shoulders.
Mr.. Pauley went on the offensive
as soon as the committee resumed
hearings this morning. He read a
telegram from the treasurer of his
oil company, the Petrol Corp, Show
ing that none of it's oil went to
Japan after June 25, 1888.
Calling attention to the fact that
date was 42 months before Pearl
Harbor and Is months before Hit
Ter invaded Poland, Mr.. Pauley as
serted that Senator Tobey had i'm
piled last week that he sold oil to
Japan with one hand while protest.
ing to the Government against such
sales. Mr.. Pauley pointed out that
his warnings to Washington against
supplying Japan were made in 1941.
Explains Oil Deals.
Senator Tobey, who sat directly in
front of the witness, interrupted
him only once, as he began his in
dignant reply. The Senator said
he asked Mr.. Pauley the first day
OF the hearings, several weeks ago,
if he ever sold oil to Japan, and he
answered in the affirmative.
Mr.. Pauley said he has repeatedly
told the committee that Petrol sold
no oil to Japan directly. The data
he presented from his company to-
day showed that between 1881 and
1888 it sold S860,573 worth of oil to
brokers or other oil companies,
which later went to Japan.
The telegram from the treasurer
of the company added that even
such indirect sales were stopped in
June, 1888, in accordance with a
policy laid down by Mr.. Pauley.
Up to today, Mr.. Pauley had an
swered questions of the committee
in low mild voice, but it was a
different Mr.. Pauley who took the
stand this morning.

He also digressed to accuse Sen

against him without waiting to hear
all the evidence.

Rv William kAeG,ft;.
BY WiIIiom McGoffin
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor and
Chicooo Doily News

Chicoeo Dolly News
MUKDEN, Manchuria, Feb. %
(Delayed) Maj. Gen. Andrei
Kovtoun- -Stankevitch, command
ant of the Russian garrison in
Mukden, today officially con-
flrmed reports that Russia had
been taking machinery from
Japanese military factories in
Manchuria. He declared that
this had been done under an
agreement reached at one of the
Big Three conferences.
The powerfully built Ukrainian-
born general made his statement in
answer to questions by the nine
American and British correspon-
dent pioneers, who finally pene-
trated the six-month Manchurian
news blackout.
In a several-day tour of deserted
and stripped factories we obtained
eyewitness evidence pointing to con-
frmation, now made official, of
rumors current ever since the Japs
surrendered to the Russians here
on August 10.
The generals statement was
double-barreled surprise. 1t was
amazing, first that he should have
made the admission at all, espe-
cially considering the evident pains
that his forces had taken to pre-
vent our party from discovering the
machinery missing; and second,
that we should disclose that the re-
moval had been sanctioned at Big
Three conference.
This news seems to indicate one
OF two things. The general is
either mistaken-an uncharitable,
Illogical conclusion, for he knew
he was speaking on the record, or
this was still another secret agree
ment, thus belatedly and casually
brought to light
Possibly third Interpretation is
that the Russians might not have
had scientific permission for such
procedure in Manchuria, but simply
had been applying the European
precedent here without due consid-
Grafton of the special complicating
factors of China's interest in the
matter.
The general made his statement
when one correspondent interrupted
some delicate verbal fencing with:
Eve might as well be frank, gen.
eral. We have been told that the
Russians are taking the machinery
they want and sending it back to
Russia"
The general coughed violently
and his face turned red, then ex-
planning through the interpreter
