SOviets Did Not Reply To U. s. Iranian Notes

WASHINGTON, Mar. IS, (P)- The Russian communication de- livered to Secretary Byrnes by Soviet Charge d'Affaires Novikov dealt with economic and commer- cial matters and had nothing whatever to do with the Ameri- can notes about Iran and Man churia, the State Department said
 Reporters were told the note had "a bearing" on the recent U. s. offer to discuss the Soviet request for a billion dollar loan. There are three U. s. notes await ing Soviet replies prior to the Novikov visit. Two concerned Soviet actions in Iran and the third protested the reported Rus sian withdrawal of Jap industrial equipment from Manchuria.
 This development came in the wake of President Truman's com- ment he doesn't consider the cur rent international situation as fraught with danger as many peo- pie believe. "I'm not alarmed by it," he declared, giving his per mission for the direct quotation. "I'm sure we'll work it out"

rhl1tDTh1NiNo, uldl' To- VT Representatives of veterans groups from Fairbanks, Anch age, Nome, and Kotzebue today re- quested postponement of the final consideration of Senate Bill Nine, providing for veterans benefits, until receipt of a copy of an amended bill, endorsed by their organizations.
 A telegram pointing out that the groups vehemently protested certain provisions of the present bill requested the chairman of Senate veterans committee to de- lay second reading of the bill.
 The provisions that are protest ed are the sales tax and the pres ent bonus-loan provisions. Favor ed are Congressional approval of the Territorial bond issue to fi- nance veterans benefits, and flat S10 per month service bonus for ! bona fide Alaskan residents at the start of the draft; loans for veter- ans who have resided in the Ter ritory for two years. Also request ed is election of the veterans board instead of appointment.
 JUNEAU, Mar. IA, (P)-A splen- did race is taking place in legis- lature while the Senate is debat- ing many amendments to the vet erans bill. The House introduces its own measure, minus the con- troversial sales tax provision, in an attempt to rush through and probably pass and send to the Senate Thursday morning. The Senate is expected to pass its own measure, possibly at the morning session Thursday, although the final passage may be blocked if the House passes the bill designed to place all tax collections in the hands of the tax commissioner.

 For Support OPAWork
Severe Cumulative Initiation ThFeais
 Should Go IR Year

Washington, March 30--(UP)- OPA Administrator Paul Porter said yesterday that if price lines can be held another i2 months the danger of crippling imitation wil! be past
 Porter urged Congress not to force OPA "to default in the last round" by weakening the price eon' trol structure. TeStifying before the House Banking Committee on leg islation to continue price control be- yond its June 90 expiration date, Porter warned;
 '"The next six months will be the most eritleal,of all"
 He said there is serious danger of a severe cumulative inflation in the next "a months or SO"
 "l do not mean Just gradual ad. juStment Of prices to Q moderately higher level," Porter added, Il mean 6 30, 70, or 30 percent increase in prices on the average, with all the spiralllng Of prices, wages, and costs which that would entail,
 Rlvalrlcs Are Dangerous
 If we can get safely through the next i2 months, I believe it probable that the danger of a cumulative spiral of imitation will be past"
 The price chief said that develop Ing rivalrle6 among business, labor, farm and landlord groups concerned about their relative positions in the economy are perhaps more danger" ous than other inflationary factors, He said business, labor and 0eri. culture must repose confidence in the Governments promise "that 1t means to drop emergency controls just as rapidly as 1t is safe to do so"
 Porter asserted that OPA policies are generally fair" He added that he was fully confident that under these policies there will be on out pouring of goods for civilians which Ave years ago twas beyond our most optimistic dreams"
 Provisions Outlined
 He said he was convinced that serious imitation could be avoided provided;
 l. There is all-out production of goods. for which he said oPA could not accept major reSponSi- bility, but which it would help in attaining by promptly adjusting price ceilings whenever they were an impeachment
 2. There are price adjustments la a SeleetiVe program designed to StiMulate the flow of goods to the markets,
 3. There Is no Increase in rents. He said proposed IS per cent blanket increase, if permit ted, would jump average net oper- ating income for apartments 87 percent over 1889, and s2 percent for small structures
 {. There is no relaxation in the nations effort to enforce the price control regulations.
 s. Subsidies are continued,
