certain that the card chosen reflects
the degree of intimacy that exists.
Using first names, or even affec-
tionate nicknames is permissible
on Christmas cards for close friends
and relatives. Some married couples
still retain the formal "Mr. Cor
Captain and Mrs. Jones. Most
younger couples, however, prefer the
friendlier John and Alice Jones'"
1t is perfectly proper to include the
children's names and even the name
of the family Scottie. Or make the
signature all-inclusive and simpler
by writing "The John Lanes"
Because Christmas cards are the
personal expression of your regard
for the person to whom they are
sent, you should double check to be
certain that all cards are correctly
signed and addressed. The best eti-
quette directs that they be mailed
with first-class postage. When you
use f1rSt-class postage on your
Christmas cards, you are, in effect,
saying to your friends, I'm not TAX
ing any chances that this greeting
will be delayed on its way to you"

Congress Conferees'
|Aqree on W.5Cents
AS Price Of Silver
By the Associated Pres,

House and Senate conferees agreed
today on legislation providing for
the sale of Government -owned sill
yer at 90.5 cents an ounce.
The agreement, breaking a weeks
long deadlock, was reached after
House conferees dropped their de-
mand for a two-year limitation on
the legislation.
Senator Murdock. Democrat. oi
Utah, who informed newsmen OF tht
action, predicted the measure will
encourage silver production The
compromise is still subject to House
and Senate approval.
The controversy over the siIyel
price has delayed action on a Treas.

The postal employees were to hav,
been paid today.
The House had held out durins
many months for a price of I'LL
cents an ounce. The Senate hac
sought price of sl.29, but finally
proposed COS cents.
The agreement. Senator Murdock
said, represents compromise with
which he is not entirely satisfied but
which he considered justified to enc
the drawn-out controversy.
1t is certainly fair to the fabrica
tors and will permit the miners tc
go ahead with assurance of a floor

Atom Bomb Advisers
Pick Dutch Scientist
To Head Committee
Ax the Assoeintsd Press

NEW YORK, July 1s.-Prof. M. A
Kramers, one of the foremost scien-
fists of the Netherlands, was elected
chairman OF the 12-nation Scientific
and Technical Committee of the
United Nations Atomic Energy
Commission at an organization ses-
sion today.
Prof Kramers is on the faculty of
| the University of Leyden.
The United States was repre-
sented among the scientists and
technical experts by DR.. Richard c.
Tolman of the California Institute
Of Technology. Pending appoint
ment of a Russian scientist, Andrei
A. Gromyko, Russian delegate on
the U. N. Security Council and the
Atomic Energy Commission, sat for
the Soviet.
Members Of Committee.
The other members Of the COM
mittee were: Australia. Dr. G. N.
Briggs; Brazil, Capt. Alvaro Alberto;
Canada, DR.. George C. Lawrence;
China. H. R. Wei; Egypt. Col.
Mohamed Bey Knalifa; France.
Prof. Pierre Anger; Mexico, Luis
Padilla Nervo, Mexican representa-
tive on the Security Council; Poland.
Ksawery Pruszynski; United King
dom Sir George Paget Thomson. -
The scientific and technical ad-
visors of the commission met for the
first time as committee with in
structions to devise plans for a
future exchange of atomic secrets
for peaceful use throughout the
world.
$ The ultimate objective Of the COM
mittee, by all accounts. will be
reached only in the distant future,
and the results Of its efforts are
likely to be overshsdowed by the
conferences dealing with political
aspects Of the atomic problem.
Remain on Call.
In the meantime, however, the
scientists will remain on call to
advise the u N. atomic groups on
scientific and technical questions
referred to them during the prog
ress OF negotiations among the
overall atomic planners.
Will Consider Three Proposals.
In addition to their advisory work
the scientists have instructions to
consider and recommend:
Proposals for the exchange of
atomic information
Proposals for the peaceful uses
of atomic energy.
| 3-Proposals on all scientific and
technical matters connected with
the activities of the commission.
1t was expected that for the pres
ent the Scientific Committee will be
concerned only with the possible
means of exchange rather than the
nature of any information to be ex-
changed.
Brazil Backs U. s.
The American plan for atomic
control, submitted recently by Ber-
nard Baruch, was approved in prin-
ciple yesterday by Capt. Alvara AL
berto OF Brazil, new chairman of the
atomic commission, who said it Of
fered a basis for discussion.
Capt. Alberto told reporters fatly
Il believe the Baruch plan shoulc
form a basis of discussion by the
commission. 1t gives an excellent
basis and is complete plan"
The Brazilian navy scientist ther
said he did not believe the question
of outlawing atomic weapons imme-
diately and stopping their manufac-
ture-as Russia proposes-could be
dealt with separately.

the Senate for consideration of the
House action.
The House compromised the diff
ference between it and the Senate
over the amount of money for OPA's
general operations by approving an
allotment of S75,000,000 instead of
the s106,650, 900 originally approved
by the House and the $3.50 900
recommended by the Senate.
The congressional efforts to break
the OPA deadlock pivoted on the
counterproposal by the subcommit-
tee, members of which are Senators
Radcliffe and Taft and, Senator
Tobey. Republican, of New Hamp-
shire.
AS passed by the Senate the re-
vival bill excludes from any further
price controls livestock. meat, poul-
try, eggs, milk, butter and dairy
products; cottonseed, soybeans and
their products, grain and livestock
or poultry feed made from it; to-
bacco and its products, and petro-
leum and its products so long as
gasoline ana oil supplies equal de-
mand.
Speculation on Proposal.
There was some speculation that
the Senate group might suggest put
ting all the foods back under CELL
ings except meat, poultry and eggs.
The conferees apparently side
stepped one threat of new veto
yesterday when the committee re-
jected proposal to restore the food
price ceilings but at the same time
divest OPA of any discretionary
power in applying the price boosting
formula for manufactured products.
With OPA denied this fiexibility
the pricing provisions of the new
bill would resemble in many respects
those objected to by the President
in his veto.
The pricing formula Of the new
bill provides that prices for man.
ufacturers. producers, professors
service and transportation indus
tries must be high enough to return
on the average the l940 price plus
cost increases since then.
Conferees in Stalemate.
The. debate went forward in what
one conferee called "a complete
sta1emate"
However, some members of the
conference committee still appeared
hopeful of a compromise. Repre-
sentative Wolcott. Republican, OF
Michigan said that when the break
comes it will come quickly. Some
body has got to give in"
Representative Barry, Democrat
of New York, a member of the
House-Senate committee. said that
if no compromise is reached he will
introduce bill intended to en-
power the President to restore price
controls by executive order if price
increases warrant such action. He
voiced fear that without OPA
prices of many essential commodi-
ties will 60 sky high"
