Mr.. Bowles declared the battle
against imitation will be won If we
hold steady for the next 10 or u
months" He said it would be com
pletely foolhardy and almost crimi-
nal to greatly change the Price
Control Act at this time despite
public annoyances and various mis-
takes which have been made.
Opposes Forced Settlements.
Secretary Schwellenbach made
only one reference to the soft coal
strike in his speech at the confer
ence in the Commerce Department
auditorium. He recalled that when
he addressed Rotary meeting last
fall he was able to announce a set
tlement of a coal strike, but he
regretted that he had no such good
news today. He repeated his oppo-
sition to any legislation for COM
pulsory settlement of labor dis
putes and said such a move would
take long step toward destruc-
tion of our democracy"
The greater part of this talk con-
tanned summary of the work of the
United States Cancellation Service
and complaint that newspapers
prominently featured stories of
threatened or actual strikes, but
gave no such prominence to the
large number of settlements. He
said the public should be better in
formed of what he called the re-
markable record of the Cancellation
Service.
Mr.. Bowles predicted that by Au-

tinued, "if we don't rock the boat
too much now, prices may begin to

emasculating amendments in the bill

Tension Among Big A
Relieved by Russia S
Compromising Views
Deputies Meet Again
Today to Outline
Ministers Program
By the ASsociuted Pr.sx

PARIS, April 29.-An apparent
Willingness by Russia to COM
promise on several highly con-
troversial issues eased the ten
sion at the Foreign Ministers
Conference here today as dele
gates resumed the task of pre-
pairing a new peace for Europe.
Despite Soviet opposition to an
American request that the Austrian
question be placed on the agenda
members OF the American delega-
ton said they were encouraged by
the Russian attitude OF conciliat ton
on other matters.
The deputy foreign ministers meet
again this morning to outline the
program for their chiefs. who are
slated to hold their fourth session
this afternoon at Luxembourg Pal
ace, with Secretary of State Byrnes
presiding.
American sources cited these
three compromise" as an indica-
ton OF TIE apparent new Soviet at
titude:
l. The Russians agreed to allow
the French delegates to participate
in discussion of Balkan treaties. The
Russians previously had maintained
that these treaties should be drafted
by Britain, the United States and
Russia.
2. The Russians agreed, accord
ing to authoritative reports, to leave
Italy a basionaval fleet and to di-
vide the remainder of the Italian
ships among the four ma jor powers
after satisfying claims of Yugoslavia
and Greece. Russia thus retreated
from her previous demand for a
third OF the fleet, these reports said
3. The Russians were reported to
have dropped their Yalta repara-
tions formula of first setting an
overall, global figure and then find
ing means Of payment. They are
now believed to favor a British and
American proposal that the victori-
Gus powers should first find out how
much the vanquished can pay with
out going bankrupt.
Some well informed sources. point
ing to Soviet cordiality toward
French interests. said the Russians
were attempting to prevent French
and British Socialists from estab-
ilsnlng possible western bloc" of |
powers and also were hoping to help
French Communists in the French
national elections in June.
These sources said the Russians
were competing with the British for
favor with the French Foreign
Of11ce, particularly in regard to a
French request for naturalization
OF the Ruhr and separation of the
Rhineland from Germany.
British informants confirmed
London reports that Ernest Bevin,
British Foreign Secretary, had pro-
posed to Georges Bidault, French
Foreign Minister, that Ruhr and
Rhineland factories be placed under |
international supervision, but should
retain German sovereignty.
The Moscow radio said yesterday
that the British had blocked dis
cussion OF Germany's future by the
conference, and denied Russia had
opposed any such discussion.
The radio, commenting on a pro-
posal by Mr.. Byrnes to grant full
independence to Austria and to
evacuate all occupation troops from
that country. said it had been
clearly shown there was no room
on the crowded agenda for this
subject.
Meanwhile, the Communist party

| FRANKFURT, April 29.-Ger-
many'S fast-growing new polit-
ical party, the right-of-center
Christian Social Union, won an
overwhelming victory in week
end county council elections in
the American zone, marred by
rioting and -Nazi activity.
Conservative rural voters gave the
church-supported party almost a
2-to-1 lead over its nearest rival,
the slightly left wing Social Demo-
Gratis.
The Communist party polled only
bare 54 per cent of the 3,136,34
votes cast in the second free cleo
ton in the area in l3 years.
Street Battle Investigated.
The 6,043 elected county officials
took their seats on rural councils
today.
Meanwhile. American troops
closed off the displaced persons
camp at Diessen with road blocks
manned by armored cars and gun
carrying jeeps after an election day
fight in which one German was
killed and II were wounded.
The fight occurred at Landsberg.
near the Diessen camp.
A. c. Glassgold of New York City,
UNRRA director at the Jewish dis
placed persons camp, said the trou-
BILE developed when two Jewish
guards at the camp mysteriously
disappeared Saturday night and the
rumor spread that they had been
kidnapped and killed by Germans.
Soon the rumor had grown until it
was said six Jews had been ma
chine-gunned by German civilians.
Aroused, the 4,500 Jews in the
camp stormed into Landsberg and
began attacking German civilians,
many of whom were on their way
to the polls.
Fight RACES in Streets.
Knives flashed and clubs were
swung as the pitched fight ragged
through the streets between individ-
ual Germans and Jews. A bus was
halted, its occupants pulled out and
the bus burned.
American troops were rushed in,
but it was not until five hours after
the fighting started that order was
restored.
Two hundred additional soldiers
were on guard today and an uneasy
quiet hung over the town.
Eighteen Germans were sent to
the hospital and one died. No re-
ports have been received of any of
the Jews being injured.
Unofficial reports indicated that
the two missing guards had left the
camp voluntarily.
Aided by Rural Vote.
Rural voters in stanchly pro-
Catholic Bavaria gave the Christian
Social Union it's big total of Its, ,203
votes to the Social Democrats 1885,
763 by overriding the majority the
latter obtained in more Industrial

1t was in the province of Greater
Hesse that the Communists won
their biggest vote, polling per cent
Of the total vote of 1896, $50 cast in
the state, which includes the indus
trial cities of Frankfurt, Wiesbaden
and Kassel.
Yesterdays elections were consid-
cred more significant in political
sense than last Januarys local
elections, in which more than 80
per cent of the eligible voters turned
out.

Contract Terms Limit Offered.
The committee representing the
Washington Virginia Maryland
Coach Co. had offered to settle the
wage contract question by arbitra-
ton by May 18 and to set a time
limit of November Is for putting
into effect terms of the new con-
tract.
Douglas Hatch, attorney for the
company, said this was done because
the union had feared a long delay
since the company wishes to make
the wage increases contingent upon
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's granting higher fares. BY the
company concession, the wage in
creaSes would be granted by Novem-
ber 18 even though the ICC had
not approved higher fares.
The management also stipulated
that any agreement reached by ar
bitration would be submitted to the
Wage Sterilization Board for ap-
proval.
This was the company's offer
yesterday before it went into joint
session with the Amalgamated As
sociation of Street Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees of
America, Division 1919 (AFL). The
union retired to consider the pro-
posal and returned later with a
counterproposal which Mr.. Hatch
said actually was rejection"

Industry On Move Southwark.
Pascagoula Rotary Club Told

Industry is on the move and
much of it is on the move South.
II is up to the men of Pasca-
goula to get their share of this
industry on the move" J. B.
Converse, president OF the Con-
verse Engineering Corporation
of Mobile, of the Alabama Cham
Der of Commerce, and a direc
tor of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce, told the Pas
cagoula Rotary Club Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Converse also advocated
he development of rural areas,
stating that "as science unfolds
to us natures secre:.-, :. seems
to me the line of demarcation
where agriculture ends and in
dustry begins, becomes fainter
and fainter.
'More and more / have the
feeling that agriculture is mere
iy the productlon end of indus
try" Mr.. Converse declared,
"Chemurgy, science, research
will carry this allied develop
ment of agriculture and industry
into fields of which we have
not even dreamed"
Mr.. Converse gave Pasca-
goula's port possibly top billing
as an asset and pointed to de-
velopment of Houston, which he
said, had "only Buffalo Bayou,
good sized ditch" and Calves
ton with an established port be-
tween them and the sea.
Did it take a little courage,
hard work and vision for a
group of men to say we make
Houston a big port" Mr.. Con-
verse inquired.
Mr.. Converse also pointed to
the development of Port Arthur,
which he said did not even ex-
ist fifty years ago, and which
has typographical features very
similar to Pascagoula. He said
it was founded on oil from Tex
as and drew parallel to Mis-
sissippi's booming oil industry.

asset one can have" the speaker
