PARIS:
Wanted: Softer Terms

Addressing the delegates OF Il
Allied nations at the peace confer
ence in Luxembourg palace, rep
resentatives of Italy. Romania and
Bulgaria pleaded for moderation OF
terms on the grounds that, as CO.
beligerents Of the victors in the
closing stages of the war, they had
made substantial sacrifices for vic
tory.
Speaking for Italy, PREMIER
De Casper stated that his cdhn-
try had contributed troops, ma
val power and materials for
three years and that the Al
lies should think twice before
internationalizing Italian DOM
mated Trieste and submitting
18O, 900 Italians in Venezia Guilia
to Yugoslav rule. He also as
serted that excessive repara-
tons would weigh down the Ital-
ian economy and reduction OF
ornaments would imperil the
safety of the state.
Foreign Minister Giorgu Tatar-
escu Of Romania followed De Cas-
peri to the speakers dais and as
serted that no less than 1886. 900
Romanians had fought on the al
lied side during the last six months
of the war. Furthermore. he said,
German and Hungarian forces had
inflicted large-scale damage Of Ro-
mania after she had deserted the
axis cause. Tatarescu asked for a
larger army and scaling down of
heavy reparations.
On behalf of Bulgaria, Foreign
Minister George Koulishev claimed
that his country had suffered 8 $4,000
casualties during the eight months
it fought on the allied side. He
charged Greek demands for $780,
600, 900 in reparations we're excess
sive and asked that Bulgaria be
permitted to disarm within reason
able limits. Regulation of traffic on
the Danube should be the inter-
est of all the countries bordering the
river, including Bulgaria. Koulishev
said.
Unable to come before the
peace conference like Italy,
Romania and Bulgaria as 18th
hour cO-belligerents, Hungary
pleaded that, despite its partici-
patton on Germany's side, it
never really was sympathetic
to the Nazi cause. After this
lame assertion, the Hungarian
representative called for the
return of at least one-ffth of
the province of Pennsylvania
from ROmania.

WASHINGTON, July 29-Admin- istration leaders virtually aban- doned hope today for passage of the Wagner -Ellender Taft long range housing bill at the present session of Congress.
 Chairman Spence D-Ky) told newsmen after a closed door session of the Banking Committee:
 T think you can say we have given up hope, if Congress goes through with its plan to adjourn Friday"
 Shortly before, Speaker Rayburn told President Truman the House would consider the bill-provided the Banking Committee sent it to the floor.
 Notwithstanding urgings by Pres ident Truman, Spence said, ma jority of the Committee members insisted on complete public hear ings before acting on the bill. A group of opponents were outside the committee clamoring to be heard while the Committee sat in executive session.
 The measure, authored by Sena- tors Wagner (D-NY), Ellender O. La, and Taft CR-Ohio, contem- plates a 10-year-housing program calling for construction of 1,500,0O( dwelling units a year. including 125, ,O0O public housing units year

Urge Made to Abolish The Plague of War; by
 French President

PARIS, July 29--The nations peace conference, convened formal ly in Luxembourg Palace more than a year after the end of the second world war in Europe, was summon ed by President Georges Bidault of France today to abolish the plague of war"
 Addressing the 1,500 delegates of the victorious Allies on behalf of the host nation. Bidault pleaded:
 The long suffering peoples of the world today look to you. If we cannot get complete peace solutions. I hope that at least we will get reasonable ones."
 In an apparent reference to the United States and Russia, Bidault said that whatever blame could be attached to the failure to keep the peace after the first world war, a fundamental cause of that failure was that the two great powers who had taken a decided part in the conquest of arms remained on the sidelines during the solution of peace"
 Historic Occasion
 "The hopes of plain men are turned toward us today" he said, concluding his l0-minute, slowly spoken speech. Bidault was then named Provisional Chairman of the conference on the motion of U. $. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes.
 Bidault's words were carried to press gallery jammed for the historic occasion and throughout the rambling plus building as he summoned the delegates of the 21 victor nations to fashion a peace for Italy, Rumania, Hungary and Finland. which the Foreign Minis ters of the United States, Britain, Russia and France can approve.
 Oissension Seen
 The conference convened, how ever, in an atmosphere of dissen- sion.
 For more than 36 hours the De- putty Foreign Ministers of the four principal powers-Britain, France, Russia and the United States-had argued before agreeing even upon publication of the five treaty drafts prepared by the four powers for submission to the conference.
 It finally was agreed to release the five treaty texts, along with statements on disagreements, at II pm, Greenwich Mean Time 6 pm, PST) Tuesday.
 The conference also opened with Secretary Byrnes ready to confront the delegates with the urging that they have all conference negotia- tions wide open to the press of the world.

 The Senate Banking committee today unanimously approved Pres ident Truman's three nominees for the new price decontrol board.
 The committees action sent the nominations to the Senate for its consideration, possibly today but more likely tomorrow

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

FEN ROUTE TO PARIS-Today in the Palace of Luxemburg begins the conference on which so many mothers set their hearts, for which so many mothers sons gave their lives-the conference to win the peace.
 Some 13,O0O,0 GOO men in the Amer ican armed forces alone fought four long years-with the hope that it might be the last time human beings would have to go through the terrible ordeal of war.
 Today in Paris comes the climax of their dreams, and already disil- lusionment has begun to set in, Already the dreams are tinged with nightmare-the spectre of another war
 Here are some of the distressing facts this conference has to face in trying to chart the peace of the world:
 1.-Historians criticised Woodrow Wilson because he was slow in ne- SStiating peace. But he got started two months after the war. In con- uast, it is now almost one year after the armistice with Japan and fifteen months after the armistice with Germany, yet the final peace conference is only getting started
 2.-The longer peace is delayed, the more the Allies fall out, the more the other nations forget their

WASHINGTON, July 29-Comp- troller General Lindsay c. War ren told Senate investigators that it has looked as If everyone and his brother were out to get the government during the lush war years"
 Warren made this statement to the Senate War Investigating com mittee. At the same time, he ap- pealed for greater powers for the General Accounting office as the last bulwark for the protection of taxpayers of this country against unbridled and illegal expenditures of public funds"
 Some high officials of govern ment, he said, accepted entertain ment, including cocktail parties, hotel bills and even travel from contractors while at the same time drawing travel expense and per diem (daily allowance) from the government"

 Warren declared that legislation Iliberalizing government contract practices during the war had great ly weakened the power of the Gen. eral Accounting office to prevent extravaganza or misuse of public funds.

 Him on Back

If it's true that a man born to be a winner makes good loSer," " young Dick Keithahn, 12, second- placer who yesterday lost the Soap Bob Derby to Leo Osterman, should make excellent first-man material for the 1947 Soap Box Derby.
 Leo got there the fastest, with the most car," he said.
 Young Keithahn didn't stop for congratulations or Empire reporters when his car came to smooth quick stop just past the finish line in the final race. Vaulting out of his second-place winner (the smartly shellacked laminated "Elec- trio" sponsored by Parsons Electric Company he made it over to First Place Osterman on the double quick to extend hearty congratula- tions and a clap on the back.
 Boy, but were you fast!" he said in undisguised admiration. To Win At hkrCn
 Looking around for the second place winner, judges found Dick stringing along with all the other followers behind Leo. T bet he wins at Akron too," said Dick loy- ally.
 Forced to talk about himself, Dick finally supplied the following facts-but only in answer to direct questions: the Electric" was made in approximately three weeks; its construction cost exactly $8.l2 Che kept books" on it), and it weighs l01 pounds without Dick and PIP pounds with him.
 An eighth grade student, Dick has lived in Juneau five years. Born in Ketchikan he has lived in Wrangell fwhere he knew Leo), and Hydaburg, but likes Juneau best of all. Son of Curator Ed Keithahn, Dick says his travels through AL aska come from the fact that Dad moves around a lot"
 Thrilled Sisters

NLRB MEN OUT
 A'FlSHIN' FOR BANNER VOTES.
BaIIotting on Now af 50 Southeast Alaska Salmon
 Plants = AFL vs. Cl0

WASHINGTON, July 29 - The National Labor Relations Board is engaged in a far-flung fishing ex- pedition-taking a collective bar gaining vote among the Alaska sal mon canners.
 Like the workers who follow the salmon, prepare him for the table and clap a red can around him, an NLRB staff of six agents is visit ing each big cannery as the salmon run hits it's peak.
 Clad in long handled underwear and layers of sweaters, the Boards aides, some accustomed to Wash ington's sultry summers, are hop ping around by pontoon plane to count the ballots of approximately 1900 workers eligible to vote.
 The canners are employed by members of the Alaska Salmon In- dustry Inc, an association, and four independent operators.

 Take Vote At Peak
 Voting at each cannery is timed to coincide with peak payrolls so the maximum number of workers will cast ballots. Thus, starting out of Juneau early in July, and work ing down to Ketchikan, the agents movements are dictated by the na- tural habits of the salmon and the weather. Elections don't start at any cannery until it has been in operation five days.
 The balloting is being managed by Russell R. Miller, the Boards ace vote counter who arranged and

LUCKY BOY IS EXCITED
 OVER WIN
Leo About Hdppiesf Kid in Juneau-Looks Forward
 10 Trip 10 Akron, 0.

Leo Osterman, IA, a bona-fide Alaskan born in Ketchikan and a temporary resident of five different Alaskan cities, yesterday had a true sourdough's reticence toward his victory over runner-up Dick Keithahn talso pure-bred Alaskan) in the rain-swept 1946 Soap Box Derby, sponsored by the Daily Al aska Empire and Juneau Rotary Club.
 Tt was a good race" he said. I'm glad I won"
 Making the downhill sweep in AZ seconds flat-seyen seconds faster than Jerry Chapmans car made it in 1941-Leo's blue Virginia Flyer" stream-lined laminated job, spon- sored by Dr. William M. White head, was designed and built in three weeks.
 Leo, who will be a sophomore at Juneau High this fall, came to this city just one month ago with his parents, MT. and Mrs. L. E. Oster- man, three brothers and one sister. At that time he had not only never seen a Soap Box car, but had never heard of the Soap Box Derby.
 Although he "got hints" from the printed booklet sent out by Cheyro- let Company to all Soap Box Derby entries, he made up the actual con- struction plans for the Flyer" him. self.
 Modest In Win
 Obviously quite shaken by his sudden rise to fame in his new hometown Juneau's latest Soap Box King, was nevertheless modest about his achievement. Dick was even with me on the bridge" he said. He really had me scared for while there. He's got a good car"
 Asked if he had been receiving many congratulatory greetings, the boy who has been followed all over town by starry-eyed youngsters, and adults, said Well, not many. Sev- eral people said they liked my car"
 Whether Leo wins the four-year college scholarship at Akron or not, he expects to continue his educa- tion beyond High School. A typical 14-year old American boy, Leo is not too interested in history, foreign languages, math, and those other things you do with your brain. He prefers" making things and repair ing them" He thinks he wants to be an engineer or maybe just a plain mechanic so he can enjoy his favorite hobby making wheels, motors, etc."
 His brother Dale, winner of heat two and heat seven in yesterday S race, also has mechanical inclina- tions, according to big brother Leo. Asked if he thought mechanical
