Fight 10 Return 400
FCA Workers Carried
To Senate Floor
By Don S. Worren

A fight for the return to WASH
ington of more than 400 en-
ployes of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration still in Kansas City,
Mo, now has been carried to the
Senate floor.
The issue was revived when the
Senate Appropriations Committee
included in the second deficiency bill
a proposed outlay of $295 900 for the
return of these workers. They were
among a much larger number de-
centralized during the war.
The House, acting on the de-
f1clency bill, had slashed to $780, 900
Budget Bureau request for 1888 900
for returning scattered Government
workers to the Capital, allowing for
little other than to pay the final
costs of the return of Patent Office
workers back here from Richmond,
Va.
In the Senate Committee version
of the deficiency bill also is pro-
vision for the immediate hire of 20
additional nurses at Gallinger Hos
pital, plus $575,O00 for emergency
expansion of the services of the
District Water and Sewer Depart
ments. largely needed to meet needs
OF new housing developments.
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee drive for funds to bring back
Farm Credit employees was spanked
recently by letter from Secretary
OF Agriculture Anderson, acting in
response to pleas from FCA off,
clalS. This drive started soon after
the House had slashed the requested
I funds.
A tight restriction has been placed
by Housing Expediter Wilson w.
Wyatt on plans for returning whole
sale numbers of decentralized Gov
eminent workers to Washington. In
declaration March % Mr. Wyatt
cited the shortage of residential
quarters in Washington. House &C
tion siaShing the requested 1888 900
transfer fund followed four days
later.
Since then, however, prospects of
some alienation of Office space

Truman issued an order to the Pub
lie Buildings Administration to sur
vey and report on Government Of

dered by agencies to which they

organizations policy OF denying its
use to colored artists who wish to
appear on a commercial basis. The
offer, it was explained. was in line
with a practice which permitted
Marian Anderson. noted colored
contralto, to sing at Constitution
Hall in 1943 for the benefit of United
China Relief, though she had been
denied use of the auditorium in 1899
for a commercial concert.
In accepting the OARS offer, DR..
F. d. Patterson, Tuskegee president,
said the Alabama institution "is
grateful to the officials of the OAR
for their considered and generous
action In permitting the use of Con-
stitution Hall for the concert" He
said the choir's appearance here,
one of several scheduled on a tour
of Eastern cities starting in New
York May %. would be "in tribute"
to the late Booker T. Washington,
Tuskegee founder.
Fred Hand, managing director of
the hall, said tickets would be sold
to both white and colored persons.

'Byrnes Ready 10 Ask
Europeans 10 Halt All
Tariffs for 5 Years
BY the Associated Press

A proposal that all European
countries junk their tariffs in a bid
to speed economic recovery of the
continent has been drafted for Sec
retary of State Byrnes to lay before
the Council of Foreign Ministers
in Paris.
The free trade arrangement would
extend over a f1ve-year period.
officials said the proposal is part
OF an overall plan which Mr.. Byrnes
took with him for today's opening
of the Foreign Ministers Confer
ence designed to break the dead
lock over European peace settle
ments.
The plan, however, has divided
the Secretary's advisers. In support
OF it are said to be Undersecretary
of State Acheson, Counselor Benja
min Cohen and Assistant Secretary
Clayton.
Dunn Among Opponents.
Those described as opposed include
Assistant Secretary James Dunn and
Freeman Matthews, chief of the de-
partment's Office of European af-
fairs. These two and Mr.. Cohen
are in Paris with Mr.. Byrnes.
The heart of the proposals is
that United Nations regional Of
flee be opened at Geneva to in
clude a European economic council
functioning under the UN Economic
and Social Council which has head
quarters in New York.
The task of the Geneva Council
would be to tackle European eco
nomic problems on a continent
wide basis instead of according to
national political boundaries or the
geography of river valleys and port
locations. -Four subagencies would
handle % fuel and power, t2)
trade and industry, 80 transport of
all sorts, and ca food.
Plan Widely Discussed.
According to persons familiar with
the plan, Mr.. Acheson and Mr..
Byrnes had several long talks on the
subject shortly before the Secre-
tary left for Paris earlier this week
It's actual introduction will depend
on whether other and more estab-
lished means of breaking the peace
treaty deadlock are successful.
This deadlock chiefly involves
Russia on the one hand and the
United States and Britain on the
other
One of the main specific pro-
visions of the plan is that in order
to facilitate the reconstruction OF
Europe and the revival of commerce
and trade, tariff barriers should be
removed and an absolutely free flow
of goods permitted Exponents OF
this idea say they doubt that Europe
ever again would impose tariffs II
they could once be removed

NEW YORK, April 25 (P>.-sil

prepared for a long stay and to
handle a large amount of business.
In addition to Foreign Minister
Vyacheslav Molotov, the Soviet dele
cation includes the two deputy
Foreign Ministers, Andrei Vishinsky
and v. G. Dekanazov, and scores
of experts, translators, typists and
clerks.
The size of such an authoritative
delegation makes it evident that the
Russians are attaching weighty i'm
portance to the meeting and may
be able to transact much business
on the spot with but few references
back to Moscow for instructions.
Many informed persons predict a
wide range of actions in Paris. The
Russians are prepared to sit right
through the Foreign Ministers
meeting into the projected European
Peace Conference.
Indications here are that the Rus
slams have not gone to Paris for
any quick diplomatic show, but are
anxious to bring about decisions
which will enable them, along with
the rest of the world, to get down to
a peacetime basis.

u. n. Council Draftinq
|0f Threats 10 Peace
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, April 25.-The World
Security Council on this first an
niversary of the United Nations
San Francisco organization meeting
today was shaping policy on how
far af1eld it may go to detect and
suppress any alleged plot to breach
the peace.
A far-reaching plan of inquiry
has been urged by Australia in her
generally well-received proposal that
the Council investigate Franco
Spain fully before voting on
Poland's motion for collective
U. N. diplomatic break with that
excluded, non-member nation.
Poland has charged that the
regime of Generalissimo Francisco
Franco shelters fugitive Nazi war
plotters and scientists who may be
conducting researches in atomic
energy, menaces the French frontier
with massing of troops and is a
potential hotbed for new war.
Prolonged Discussion Seen.
Although prolonged discussion on
the methods of investigation was
anticipated when the Council meets
at 3 pm, there were indications
that the Australian plan would be
acceptable in some form.
Adoption of Australian Delegate
w. R. Hodgson's proposal would
broaden the Councils scope and
open the way for detailed inquiry
into the affairs of Spain or any
suspect nation.

Britain, Brazil and the Neither
lands opposed a concerted break: the
united States and China were un-
convinced up to then of the need

Col. Hodgson suddenly changed
the picture. Even the dissenters to a
collective break with Spain were
committed either by inference or

the evidence.
Since then Col. Hodgson,s pro-
posal has gained support.
Edward R. Stettinius, jr., of the
United States was expected to be
among the first to speak for a f11ll

Final Estimate Due
Today on Supplies
OF Wheat in u. ).
By Malcolm Lomborne. Jr.

Government food officials will
receive today the final estimate
or total wheat stocks in the
United States-a report that is
expected to have an important
bearing on both the food con-
serVatlon drive and Government
restrictions on grain needed for
relief feeding.
The report, due at 3 pm. will
supply food planners with theil
hrst estimate of wheat held in in
terlor elevators and warehouses
terminal warehouses, millers' in
Ventorles and stocks owned by the
commodity Credit Corp. Earlier
TINS month, the Agriculture Depart
ment reported wheat stocks on
farms at 204 1000 900 bushels.
Todays survey will supply the
important answer on whether the
United States actually has sufficient
grain to meet the monthly export
goal of 100000 tons, as we'll as
domestic requirements.

A second report due today will
supply figures on grain shipments

10 days of this month. A report
Tuesday showed the United States
was tagging about $4,000 tons dur
ing the first 10 days of April.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
and UNRRA Director General La
Guardia, accompanied by aides. were
en- route today to North Dakota to
appeal directly to holders of grain
to participate in the Govern
ment's program of wheat purchasing
for relief.
They will inspect grain elevators.

MIR. Anderson said Yesterday the
Government would like to get be-
tween 100000 and 45,OO0,OO0
bushels of wheat from North Da-
kora alone. Under the purchase
program-which provides for bonus
of 80 cents a bushel-the United
States seeks 1OO,OoO,oOo bushels.
The Governments famine relief
program hinges on success of the
wheat-buying drive. hence the un-
usual efforts being made by Mr..
Anderson and Mr.. La Guardia.
Millers and holders of grain.
meanwhile, are showing concern
over future supplies should the Gov
ernment buy up available stocks for
relief. There was possibility that
an even sharper cut in flour supplies
than the Is per cent reduction may
be necessary.
Harry C. Shack. president of the
Chicago Board of Trade, claimed in
testimony before the Senate Agri-
culture Committee yesterday that
the Government had stepped into
5he black market by offering the 30
ents-a-bushel to get corn off farms

He said the present ceiling price
on corn plus the bonus is about its
actual related worth, or near the
orice at which it sells in the black
market. The witness described the
bonus plan as a "death-bed remedy"
that the Government adopted after
most of last years corn crop and
earryover had disappeared.
