Congress Starts Probe
OF Huge Tax Refunds

Washington, D. C.-Hearings to
start soon before the Senate Labor
and Education Committee may cast
light on how giant corporations are
using tax refunds granted by the gov
ernment to wage war against the
trade union movement.
These refunds run into billions, and
when Congress authorized them the
idea was that the money would en-
able the companies to reconvert more
swiftly to peacetime production.

Hitler found out how easy that is.
And thousands upon thousands died
until he was beaten into the ground
But many who battled against Hitler
are doing, in lesser way, the same
thing.<
All people cannot be alike, for which
let US be grateful. Let us accept the
differences Of character and the vary
ing characteristics Of many peoples.
Who is to judge as to superiority
and what it is? We need to learn a
lot about tolerance and breadth ot
mind and right quick, at that. CMW

 Over ReoI Reason
 For Sudden Ch0nge

 Washington, March 23 = (UP)-President Truman has abruptly postponed the atom ic bomb tests flor about six weeks" and 1t seemed likely today that the weather--or perhaps the interna- tional situation-might cause still further delay.
 Pressure of congressional business was the reason announced by the White House last night for the order that suddenly upset carefully prepared plans for thousands of men and hundreds of ships in the multi million dollar operation crossroads"
 But many persons pondered the international implications of the decision. The United States and Russia in just two days enter crucial test in the United Nations Security Council that might break or make UNO. Did MT. Truman, some officials wondered aloud, con- clude that 1t was better to let the atom bomb cool off for a while? Some of them thought that was Q vital factor, although the White House discouraged such speculation.
 "ShOwing of"
 One person connected with the bomb tests ventured the opinion that to hold them at a time when the UNO Council might be in the midst of debating the critical dis pute between Russia and Iran would be like showing off our atomic muscles"
 The bomb tests, designed to de- termine what mans newest and most terrible weapon would do to Navy ships, were scheduled orig inally for May l5 and July ct Bikini atoll in the Marshall Islands.
 The delay ordered by the Presi- dent would carry them into the Pacific typhoon season when the weather, even in the normally tran quil Marshalls turns contrary and unpredictable
 The White House gave only one reason for the Presidents decision. It said that if the tests were held at the planned dates, many con- gressmen who wanted to witness them would not be able to do so owing to the heavy legislative schedule"
 The President merely ordered . postponement, not a cancellation. And White House Secretary Charles G. Ross did not support the i6ea that MT. Truman was motivated by Continued Page 2-TRuAEANR

Brush Fire Permits Reuoked by LeRRe

In what he termed an emergency measure", Fire Marshal Eugene Legge today issued an order stating no per- mits for the lighting of brush fires would be given until aft. CT the present dry period has lessened. He said the revOklng of the brush fire permit in- cludes also permits for any fire of any kind that Is 1t in the open.
 Violation of the MarshapS order may result not only In damage to property and life in the event that Q fire should get out of control, but any one lighting such . fire in viola ton of the Marshal'S order is libel to . fine and imprisOn- ment, or both.
 The measure vas taken fOl- lowing . series of brush fires which kept firemen busy ex- tlngulshing over 16O brush fires since Sunday. Yesterdays total brush fires reached the 4e mark, and no let up was in sight today even in view of the weather prediction of cool CT weather.

 The governor said he sxpecteC that s.necessafy concessions will tt made to bring this strike to An earlJ termination"
 Dozen Battered
 Meantime, police were stationed in the plant area, prepared to stamp out recurrence of the demonstra- tions of the past two days, during which a dozen foremen were bat tered, a company official was kicked in the stomach and 2i picketS were arrested for breach of peace,
 Fifteen foremen and Superinten- dent spent their second night in the plant last night, mindful of the four day siege of last December when i4 officials locked themselves in for four days and nights to avoid clashes with the pickets.
 The governors repeated admoni- ton that mass pIcketing was tln- lawful and would not be tolerated, and that settlement of the contro- versy was mot impossible" restored order as the conference delegates met at the Connecticut Light and Power Company to begin negotla- tions. The State Board Of Media ton and Arbitration was represent ed by Chairman William G. Ennis and Perley HCvey. Both the A.F.L. International Association of Ma chinists and management had their counsel present, along with officers authorized to settle the dispute.
 Want Closed Shop
 The most recent demand of the union was said to be a pay increase of % cents an hour and a closed shop. The company has offered a five cent boost and insists on an open shop.
 While the governor was hopeful of a speedy agreement, the U. S. Consolidation service was prepared to step in next Wednesday, and the combined Stamford labor organiza- tion went ahead with plans to send a delegation to Washington Sunday nightsto solicit the influence of the Secretary of Labor and Connecticut Congressmen.

 Washington, March 23-(UP)- Sen. William F. Knowland, R., Cal- ifornia, said today he may intro duce 8 bill requiring Congressional approval of all future surplus arna- ment sales to foreign nations.
 Knowland's statement came on the heels of scathing indictment of this country's methods of disposing of surplus property overseas by the Senate War Investigating Commit tee.
 The committee said that practi- cally every federal agency concer- ned with disposal of overseas sur- pluses had muffed the job. Its re- port followed & 30,000-mile world inspection junket.
 Meanwhile, committee chairman James M. Tunnell, D, Del, said he believed the investigation should be followed by a complete study of this country's commercial and econ onic policies.
 He said the Foreign Relations and and Commerce committees might properly undertake such a study which he said would be "a little beyond" the jurisdiction of the war investigation committee.

Tension Based a Bit
 Diplomatic Skies

By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Foreign News Editorl
 The deplomatic skies today ap- peared to be clearing somewhat in advance of the crucial United Na- tions Security Council meeting to consider Trans charges against the Soviet Union.
 Two moves-one by Russia and the other by the United States materially reduced the tension un- der which the meeting will convene and encouraged diplomatic belief that by one means or another the world will work itself out Of the latest crisis.
 The moves were the strong state- ment of staunch support of UNO principles issued by Generalissilno Stain and the surprise action a few hours lated by President Tru- man in postponing the spectacular atomic bomb demonstration which had been scheduled for May IS on the Pacific atoll of Bikini.
 Although the White House in- sisted that there were no diploma tic motives behind the atom bomb delay the decision had its strong est impact in the diplomatic sphere.
 Foremost among Russian sus- picions regarding the postwar world has been the American atomic bomb secret. Only this week the Soviet Press charged that some quarters hoped to establish an atomic dictatorship over the world.
 Speaking of the delay one Wash- ington official suggested that con- ducting the Bikini test at a time the UNO was meeting would be like Continued Pare 1nIK0l

Frankfurt. March 23-CUP)- British military government auth critics at MIenster announced to- day that Clemens August Cardinal Count Von Galen, who was made a Prince Of tine Roman Catholic church one month ago, died there at 5 ?. m. Friday.
 Cardinal Galen was the second of the newly created Cardinals to die. John Joseph Cardinal Glennon of St. Louis died in Dublin on March g.
