Roosevelt 

Sacramento, Cal, July 22-CUP)- James Roosevelt. oldest and most active of the late presi- dents four sons, today assumed leadership of the California Demo- cratic Party.
 A Southern California Democratic caucus yesterday endorsed Roose- welt as state chairman of the Democratic Central Committee by a 200 to lO7 vote. His opponent was Thomas Scully, party treasurer for the last two years.
 Under a rotation system, the Southern California branch of the party is entitled to select the chair man. Therefore, Roosevelt's en- dorsement was tantamount to his election by the entire committee and his election later was con- ceded.
 After his endorsement, Roosevelt resigned his connection with h. dependent Citizens Committee of the Arts, Sciences and Professions and the Hollywood chapter of the group.

Washington. July 9 -tUP)- President Truman told his Congress sional Big Four today that he was having the compromise OPA bill analysed to see if he could sign it as a satisfactory measure to pre- vent runaway imitation.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley, Ky, expressed hope after the Big Four" meeting with MT. Truman that the President would sign the measure upon which Senate-HouSe conferees reached agreement Saturday night.
 Asked whether MT. Truman had indicated his intention, Barkley re- piled only that he hoped" the bill would be signed.

 If President Truman should veto UllC O4l4. l1lC SO4ISl CSS1Oi4d4 lCdNSAS virtually had no hope that any oth- CT price legislation could be passed at this session.
 Conferees ClOuded Too
 The complicated compromise on future price controls still must be approved by both the Senate and House, and there were indications of some trouble ahead, Even the con- ferees who wrote it were not sure Of the meaning of every detail. They meet later today to clarify language in the measure, particularly with reference to the respective powers of the Secretary of Agriculture and the proposed three-man decontrol board.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben w, Barkley, Ky, thought the com promise measure, vesting board powers to lift price ceiling in the special board, would provide effec- tive controls. Chairman Robert F. Wagner, D.-N. Y0, of the Senate Banking Committee also believed it

 Get Three 
 Pin-boII Comes,
 Radio Repairing
 Put on Agendo

The Board of Aldermen will meet in special session tonight for action on three proposed ordinances. The resolutions pertain to licensing Of pin-ball machines, licensing Of radio repair and installation work and waiving of local zoning and building code regulations relative to the new veterans housing project at Hamilton Heights.
 The proposal to license pin machines had not been completed in final form at press time today but it was learned that a special fee will be charged for each of the gaily-colored bell-ringing machines now in use in the city Various municipalities throughout the coun- try have similar ordinances.
 Licensing of radio repair and in stallations is prompted, in part, by the recent fatal accident in which a local youth was killed when com ing in contact with a live aerial wire. Under the proposal all re- pairs and installations will carry the city electrical seal and will be subject to inspection by the electri- cal inspector. An itemized vouch- CT of the work done will be includ- ed in the inspection. Also all aerials will have to be installed at heights and all connections between the radios and aerials will be in- sulated. The fees will not be high, it is understood, and servicemen will be exempt.
 The ordinance waiving local zon- ing and building code regulations is authorized by a statute enacted in the special session of the legislature this year. This permits towns and cities to waive these regulations to permit temporary housing for vet erans.
 The board also is expected to act on various minor business, such as transfers, etc.

Leaders Expect Truman
 To Sign OPA Compromise

will work out satisfactorily"
 The new bill would give far reaching powers to the decontrol board, to be appointed by the Pres ident and confirmed by the Senate. The board, acting independently of O.P.A. could order revision lifting of price ceilings on both manufac- tured and agricultural goods.
 Secretary Given More Power The Secretary of Agriculture, too, is given broad powers over pricing of farm commodities. He would cer- tify each agricultural item deemed in inadequate supply and over which ceilings could be set. Other major provisions of the bill would:
 1. Extend OP.A. until June 30, 1947.
 2. Re-establish federal rent control
 3. Authorize industries to peti- tion the decontrol board for re- vision or removal of their ceil- ingS. The board would conduct hearings on the petitions and make recommendations to the price administrator.
 4. Drastically curtail the gov- ernment subsidy program. with most payments ending not later than April l, 1947.
 5. Permit no ceiling prices on manufactured goods lower than the average dollar prices pre- vailing in 1940, plus increased production costs since that base period. However, a discretionary clause would permit the admin istrator to decline to raise prices if the maximum price of pro- duct equaled it's average current cost plus a reasonable profit.
 6. Ban price regulations on eggs, tobacco and poultry unless found in short supply by the Secretary of Agriculture or de- control board.
 T. Ban ceilings on petroleum unless the decontrol board finds them necessary.

COP Sides  Rop Probe
 To Reopen Dec. '
 Inquiry Later On

Washington. July 22-CUP)-Two Republican members of the Pearl Harbor Committee today proposed another inquiry when and if the COP gains control of Congress.
 Sens. Homer Ferguson, tR.-Mich0 and Owen Brewster, (R,-Me), said the diplomatic negotiations which preceded the Dec. T, l94l, disaster still need further exploration.
 Another investigation would seem to contravene Republican Party policy as laid down in the platform adopted by the last national con- vention in 1914. It declared flatly that we want no more Pearl Har- bor reports"
 Nevertheless, Ferguson and Brew ster laid the groundwork for fu- ture Republican investigation in a minority report they filed with Con- gress late Saturday.
 A majority of the 10-man special committee-six Democrats and two Republicans-signed report spe- officially absolving the late President Roosevelt and his top diplomatic and military advisers.
 Ferguson and Brewster insisted that MT. Roosevelt and his top mili- tary aides in Washington were just as responsible as Rear Adm. Illus band E. Kimmel and Lt.-Gen. Wal ter c. Short, deposed Hawaiian commanders.
 The two Republicans made no finding regarding the diplomatic phase because sthey said it was not completely explored in the six months investigation conducted by the special committee. They blamed the partisan makeup of the commit tee-six Democrats and four Re- publicans-aS well as Democratic administration control of official documents and papers.

Montgomery Summoned

London, July 2 - CUP) -- Field Marshal Viscount Mont gomery, chief of the Imperial General Staff, was summoned to No. 10 Downing Street today as the British Cabinet met to consider the Palestine crisis.
 It was doubted that the cab- met had any official word on the explosion which wrecked British military headquarters at the King David Hotel.
 However, 1t was understood that Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee had a report on the situation in Palestine to place before his colleagues.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-22

mines went off with a tremendous roar. wrecking one wing of the hotel and the adjacent Y.M.C.A. building.
 An immediate curfew was ordered until further notice.
 The powerful explosion was be- lieved caused by a bomb or bombs planted by the Hagana Jewish secret underground organization as a counter stroke to the British military roundup of Jews in Pales- tine.
 Officials Buried
 Army and government officials were buried in debris when the ex- plosion went of with a shattering roar which smashed a whole wing of the hotel and wrecked a nearby YM.C.A building.
 The attack was the most daring ever carried out by the Jewish un- derground. The King David Hotel is the heart of the British military administration. It resembles fort- ress more than a hotel with a peril meter of machine-gun posts, barbed wire entanglements, sandbag barri- cades and concrete road blocks.
 By some means not yet certain the Jewish resistance members ap- parently penetrated this security network and planted powerful mines in the basement of the hotel
 The King David explosion fol. lowed by a few minutes an earlier explosion, believed to have been caused by the blowing up of Brit. ish armored car. Whether this in- cident was connected with the King David explosion was not immediate ly certain.
 Passersby Wounded
 Newspapermen and spectators had gathered in the vicinity of the hotel and military police were investigat- ing the first blast when suddenly the ground was rocked by an ex- | treinely heavy blast in the King David headquarters. | Scores of officials were wounded and buried in the wreckage. Pas- sersby were showered by flying glass and debris. The Y. M. c. A. was turned into an emergency first aid 1 station despite its own shattered walls and wrecked interior.
 All persons leaving the hotel and the Y. M. c. A. including those who were wounded, were seized mme- diately by the police for question. ing.
 It was believed total casualties would be more than 50. Four car- loads of wounded were being re. moved to hospitals.
 Neither Acting High Commission CT J. V. Shaw nor Lt.-Gen. Evelyn Berket, British commander for Pa lestine, were hurt.
 It was reported that Richard Mowrer, correspondent of the New York Post, was among those se- riously injured within the hotel. Officials said an accurate count of dead and wounded was not yet pos sible as bodies still were being dug from the debris.
 Persons in the vicinity of the ho- tel a few minutes before the eXplo- sion said they saw strange blue automobile in which several youths were riding speed through the crowds and escape just as the ex- plosion occurred.
 It was thought that these youths might have planted the mines al- though it was not known how they could have entered the hotel base. ment.
 Arrests were said to be under way at several places in Jerusalem and police were said to be hunting for Moshe Sneh, member of the Jewish Agency executive who has been un. derground since the British raidinS started.
