With Buruch Leaving,
Former Senator Confers
Here on Negotiations
By the A.soe;o,ed Press

Warren r. Austin, American
member of the United Nations
Security Council, headed here
today for top-level conferences
lon the atomic disarmament
problems showed at him by Ber-
nard NJ. Baruch's surprise resig-
nation e. siss's, ss
MI. Baruch stepped down as this
jGoyernrne1tss atomic energy spokes-
man at U. N headquarters with the
two-fold explanation to President
Truman that: ID Since the q. N.'s
special atomic commission had
adopted the United States plan for
worldwide nuclear controls and (2)
since the world issue now moves
into the Security Council as part
of this disarmament task, Mr.. Aus
tin should take over
The week end change touched of
immediate speculation here about a
possible softening of American tao
tics in negotiating with Russia on
the whole atomic energy question.
Austin Speaks Softly.
Mr.. Austin has made a reputation
at New York u. N. sessions as an
advocate and practitioner of CO.
Operation with his Soviet colleagues,
particularly Deputy Foreign Min
lister Andrei Gromyko.
Mr.. Baruch, on the contrary, often
dealt bluntly with the Soviet and
other commission members, stating
an American plan or proposal and
declaring they could take it or
leave it.
In radio address Saturday
night, Senator Austin declared the
United States and Russia "came
to a better understanding" during
the recent U N. General Assembly
session and said Soviet delegates
met us half way" on several i'm
portant points.
Expressing confidence the world
had begun to move on the -long
road away from war;" he said he
had great faith in the future"
Sees Mutuality Necessary.
The chief United States delegate
gave this view, of the attitude he
considered necessary for success
of u. N: ~
There must be mutually in ar
irving at agreement. My own judg-
ment Is that one does not have
to be an appeaser to, be able to come
to an agreement. One does not
need to be afraid of entering into
an agreement.
Reasonable concessions must be
kept within the bounds of the
United Nations Charter, he added.
Mr.. Baruch has fought out against
adan1ant Russian opposition his in
sistence that the great powers in
the Security Council should relin-
quish their rights to veto any pun
ishment for infraction Of atomic
controls.
Issue Still to Be Settled.
While Russia previously had ac-
cepted the principle that the pro-
posed atomic development author

ity basis, devoid of veto, Mr..
Gromyko battled stubbornly against

Message Is Read
By President at
Joint Session
Tert OF President Truntan'S
address on Page A-6.)
BY Joseph A. Fox

President Truman today asked
Congress for legislation to out
law jurisdictional strikes, check
secondary boycotts and provide
for a comprehensive study OF
labor management relations, as
he outlined a program to pro-
mote industrial peace.
Presenting a 6,o00-word message
on the State of the Union in per-
sonal appearance before joint
session of the Senate and House,
the President made plea for CO.
operation between the Capitol and
the White House, and also asked for
continuance in the next fiscal year
of excise taxes now due to expire
June 30. He announced that the
budget to be made public In the
next few days will show a small
margin of surplus" for the year
ending June 80, 1948.
Bolstering a demand for "strin-
gent economy" Mr., Truman argued
against further grants for veterans,
whose benefits, he said are now cost
ing the country more than $7,000,-
100000 a year.
Accompanied by Cabinet.
When Mr.. Truman appeared to-
day it was the first time since
Herbert Hoover was In the same
position in the early 30's that a
President of one party has offered
his message to Congress controlled
by the other.
Mr.. Truman was accompanied to
the Capitol by members of his cabi-
net who had gathered at the White
House shortly before the President
left to reach the Capitol in time
for his appearance at pm.
The proceedings. in the House
chamber, were broadcast by tele-
vision for the first time in history.
Approximately 300 policemen-a
larger number than usual-were on
hand for the Presidents visit
The President once more bespoke
the desirability of merging the arm
ed services and providing for univer-
sal training, and he said the War
Department expects to know shortly
if the Nations manpower needs can
be maintained through voluntary
enlistments, or If it will be necessary
to seek extension of the Selective
Service Act beyond March 81.
In comparatively brief reference
to foreign affairs, Mr.. Truman
touched on relations with the Soviet
Union. saying that American policy
in that regard is simply ito uphold
the principles of international jus
tiee which have been embodied in
the Charter of the United Nations. ;"
He also urged Congress to think
about the problem of admitting in
creasing numbers of displaced per-
sons to this country, but made no
specific recommendation.
Mr. Truman offered his labor
recommendations, in which he
warned against punitive legisla-
tion," as part of a five-point plan
for the overall economy embodying
policies designed to meet our i'm
mediate needs and at the same
time to provide for the long-range
walfare of our free-enterprise Sys-
tenn"
Labor or-Management Harmony.
This, he said, would provide:
First, promotion of greater har-
mony between labor and manage
ment.
Second, restriction of monopoly
and unfair business practices; as
sistance to small business. and the
promotion of the free competitive
system of private enterprise.

WINCHESTER, Va, Sept. 49,
The scheduled opening of motion

number of arrests and convictions
in our courts. The month of August
brought an all-time high of 214

Stop Signs at intersections
Also Having Lights Will Go

The use of both stop" signs and
the signal lights at the same inter-
section will be abolished as soon as
engineers of the Department OF
Vehicles and Traffic complete a sur
vey already started, Traffic Direc-
tor George E. Keneipp said yester-
day.
The use of both signs and the
lights has caused confusion to mo-
florists, he admitted, but added that
where such a condition exists, the
lights take precedence over the
signs.
Stop signs and lights, he said, are
both used when the lights are shut
off at certain times of the day and
night. After l am. many traffic
lights are shut off and in other sec
lions lights are used only when
traffic is at rush-hour peaks.
When the survey is completed,
such intersections will be controlled
by blinking red lights. The survey
is being made to determine which
streets shall have the right of way.
Mr.. Keneipp cited as an example the
lights at Sixteenth street and Park
read NV. The traffic on Sixteenth
street continues heavy all through
the night while that on Park road
Stacks off. The blinking red signal
will be placed on the Park road
lights so that traffic on that street
will stop until the way is cleared OF
Sixteenth street traffic.

|Nevius Tract 10
|ExtendCemetery
Plon Is Disclosed
At Meeting of
Arlington Board

The Federal Government is con.
sidering use of the Nevius tract at
Lee boulevard and Ridge road for
an extension of Arlington Cemetery.
it was disclosed yesterday at a meet-
ing of the Arlington County Board.
The tract originally was acquired
by the Government as site for a
Veterans Administration hospital
but the proposal was killed in last
minute move in Congress by Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of Vir.
ginia.
Since then it has been rumored
the Government wanted to use the
land for the cemetery. This specu-
lation was borne out in a letter to
the County Board by Representative
Smith.
The Justice Department called me
some weeks ago. Mr.. Smith wrote,
land asked if I would be satisfied
to let the Government take the
property and use it for an extension
Of Arlington Cemtery.
II told him very emphatically that
I would oppose any acquisition Of
the property by the Federal Gov
eminent for two reasons-one, that
the price was excessively high for
the uses to which the Government
would put it, and, two. that the Cow
eminent already had deprived Ar
lington County of too much OF its
taxable values"
The letter was in reply to re-
quest of the board that the Virginia
delegation do all in its power to have
the tract returned to private owner
ship. The Government deposited
the purchase money in Federal
Court and this action passed the
title to the Government.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
GINA, also wrote the board declaring,
II entirely agree with you that this
property should be turned back"
Seeks Return to Owners.
Representative Smith also told the
board he hopes legislation can be
passed at the next session of Con-
gress ordering the return Of the
Nevius tract to the former owners.
He wrote that the Justice Depart
ment had advised him that such
action is feasible 1t will depend
"on what cooperation I could get
from the Appropriations Committee
when Congress reconvenes," Mr..
Smith said.
