BIGGE5T EVER PEACE BUDGET up TO HOUSE
Immense Chunk of Extra Cash Recommended
 for Atomic Project

WASHINGTON. June 20.- A $7,09l ,034,700 Army budget-biggest ever in peacetime and with an extra $l75,000,000 tossed in for atomic energy development--went to the House floor today.
 It was almost twice as large as the last pre-war allotment, voted in 1941.
 Nearly balancing the extra cash granted tta armys famed Man haitian project which produced the atomic bomb, the appropriations committee trimmed $l50,000 ,000 off Budget Bureau estimates for army supervised relief and government activities in occupied countries.
 Reliet Fund Trimmed
 The Budget had recommended $500, 100000 for the relief military government program and $2O0, ,000,- 900 for the atomic service.
 The committee revised the amounts to $35,O00,000 and s375,- SSV,OOot iCoPCttiNSiy tiC diiily It. self had asked s397,00o,0o0 for the Manhattan project.
 Otherwise the committee gener- ally followed the Budget Bureaus recommendations for War Depart. ment funds for the fiscal year starting July l. Net changes in the big measure represented a reduc- tion of s117l72, ,729.
 Air Allotment OK'd
 The committee approved in full the S1 .199, ,500000 allotment for the Air Corps, after hearing General Carl Spaatz relate plans for an air force adequate to detect and re- pei any surprise attack, to launch a crippling counter r-offensive and to back up tEe land and sea forces.
 Spaatz. Air Corps Commander told the committee the minimum postwar airforce needs 70 combat groups backed by pool of at least one Air National Guard squadron in each state.
 The Air Forces cash allotment included $388, ,776,454 for the pur- chase of approximately l,046 mod ern planes and gliders. At the end of April of this year, the Air Forces had 5000 planes.

DECISION IN
 ALASKA
 SCRATCHED
DifferentiaI in Longshore- men s Cost of Living Was
 Noi Considered, Claim

SEATTLE, June 20.-A spokes- man for CIO-affiliated longshore- men issued Q statement today cri- ticking strongly an arbitrators failure to allow Is percent cost of living di.ferentiar' for Alaska lcngshoremen in the decision hand- ed down in the dispute.
 At the same time, a Seattle spokesman for Alaska dock opera tors said the award is still being studied" by employers, but that they definitely are not in accord with provisions for retroactive pay
 pr. Vernon A. Mund, University of Washington economics profes- sor and arbitrator in the case, rul- ed for retroactivity to October l 1944, for wage increases granted last April; for a vacation with pay clause and for application of skill and penalty differentials now in ef- feet on the Pacific coast.
 Steve Glumez, Pacific N w. Inter- national Representative for the h. ternatinal Longshoremen's n d Warehousemen's Union, declared in a news release:
 "Ti.., award IS the minimum we could have received It is our feel ing that the arbitrator failed to act impartially and favored the em- ployers' arguments in the proceed ings. He overlooked the fact that one of the main issues in our case was the cost of living differential In some parts of Alaska where longshoremen are employed the cost of living is 45 percent above that of he mainland"

SOVIET WOULD RkU.5.ATOM BOMB SECRETS

NEW YORK, June 20.-Members of the United Nations Atomic En- ergy Commission weighed today a Russian plan for a world conven- tion to outlaw atomic weapons which, if adopted, would compel the United States to destroy all her atom bombs within three months.
 The Russian plan, offered as a substitute for an American pro- posal under which the United States has conditionally offered to share her atomic secrets and destroy the bombs, would be put into force by ratification of half the nations of the world.
 Drastic Variance
 On vital points, it was drastically at variance with the conditions which were laid down last Friday by U s. Delegate Bernard M. Raruch and which must be met be- fore the United States would pool her atomic "know-how" under a guarantee of world control.
 The Russian plan would forbid use and production of atomic weapons, provide for their destruc- tion three months after the con- vention is ratified, and require each nation, within six months after enactment, to provide its own legislation prescribing severe pun ishment for violations.
 It would set up two committees to handle exchange of scientific information for peaceful use and to provide international controls em- bracing a system of sanctions for application against the unlawful use of atomic. energy.
 Primary Difference
 The primary difference between the American and Russian proposals is that Baruch offered to yield the atomic secrets and destroy the American bombs only after inter national control is assured, while Gromyko proposed measure talk ing the control out of American hands by international convention.
 The Russian proposals were pre- sented to the Commission yester- day by Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko. Gromyko did not refer to the Baruch program as he off, cred his plan.

Congress Party Halls At- lion on British Inde-
 pendenee Plan

NEW DELHI, June 20.-The powerful Congress party delayed in definitely today a decision on the British independence plan for an interim Indian government, be- cause it's President-designe, Java harlal Nehru, had been arrested in Kashmir State.
 Maulana Azad, retiring Presi- dent of the party, said it's working committee had adjourned sine die because of the, arrest and when we meet again depends upon Pan- dit Nehrus return"
 The dominantly Hindu Congress party is the largest in India and without it's aherence, the indepen- dence plan hardly could be made workable. An air of the deepest gloom was apparent in Congress circles, which only yesterday radiat- ed confidence that favorable de- cision might be possible by the end of the week.

Two Government Agencies Seeking Armistiee in
 Labor Disputes

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Stabil- ization Director Chester Bowles said today he is hopeful of getting a no-strike pledge from labor so that industry can hit and maintain full scale production.
 He told news conference he is discussing proposed truce with AFL and CIO leaders and is "by no means discouraged about the final outcome"
 Bowles statements coincided with disclosure that Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt is seeking a strike armistice for the building industry to speed construction of homes for veterans.
 In the housing field Wyatt is sounding out the building trades unions on six-month voluntary pledge against striking as a means of removing obstacles to the homes for-veterans program.
 This became known today as the National Housing Agency ordered into effect multi-million- dollar subsidy program for softwood ply wood, designed to open that major bottleneck in home construction.
 Manufacturers will be authorized to pay $7.50 per 1000 feet more for ''peeler' logs, the kind needed for plywood, and to get full reim- bursement from the Government if they boost production 25 percent or more above normal quotas.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON -"H "Heigh-ho Sil- yer" McCarran, silver thatched Senator from Nevada, nearly pulled a fast one recently but it was not quite smooth enough to get by ar- istocratic tennis-playing Senator Theodore F. Green of Rhode Is- land.
 The two have been fighting for years over the price of silver with Green seeking to boost the price of silver
 The House has provided for the sale of silver for industrial uses at I'll cents per ounce, and also passed separate bill by Minority Leader Joe Martin of Massachu- setts, begging the price of silver at I'll cents.
 When the first of these bills got to the Senate Appropriations Committee, McCarran was able to substitute a price of 90.3 cents for silver for the next two years in stead of 71.11.
 The Bill was scheduled to go be- fore the full Senate Committee, with McCarran anxious to get agreement from the Committee membership that his silver amend ment would not be fought on the floor Green accepted the amend ment in order to get the Bill out of committee, but planned to fight it out before the full Senate, with
