U. s. To Furnish South America With Warships

WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of the navy Forrestal today con- firmed plans to furnish South American nations with modern U. s. warships as part of western hemisphere policy of cooperation for mutual security.
 'It is the intention of the navy department to substitute newer U. s. naval vassels for the obsolete types of our neighbors," Torres tai said. "This substitution is pro- prosed on an approximately equal tonnage basis. :"
 He did not tell exactly what types of vessels this country pro- posed to furnish but said in statement read before the House foreign affairs committee that the navy ''has been holding in reserve for transfer certain naval vessels which are in excess of our present defense requirements"
 (Two weeks ago, the Associated Press reported the existence of a memorandum from Forrestal to secretary of state Marshall saying the navy is prepared to transfer four light cruisers and IF smaller vessels to Latin America.
 (The cruisers the the Nashville, the Phoenix, the Boise and the St. Louis).
 , Forrestals testimony today was in support of legislation provid- ing for military cooperation be- tween the American republics, in- cluding standardization of arma- ments. Marshall and secretary of war Patterson previously urged it's enactment.

Petroleum Export Controls Must Be Restored

WASHINGTON (P)-Chairnan Weichel .-Ohio,, said yesterday the House merchant marine com mittee has learned that Sovlet- operated tankers carrying oil from this country to Russia were built for the U. s. government only a few years ago.
 One of them, he said, sailed from California less than two weeks ago with l23,895 barrels of gasoline and l2,500 barrels of oil and two others left earlier this month with ll3,000 barrels of o'l.
 Three more, Weichel told a re- porter, are loading in California ports and may depart before ex- port controls are restored on pe- troleum products effective June 30.
 The commerce department, an- nouncing reimposition of the con- trolS Monday night, explained:
 Export control is necessary if the limited domestic supply is to be protected and U. s. petroleum exports are to be used most effec- lively in the interest of world re- covery." The controls were lifted soon after V-J day. They apply all nations except Canada. : The governments authority to control exports runs out next Monday midnight, but an exten- sion bill is pending in Congress.
 Weichel, said the consignor for all six of the tankers on the west coast is the Amtorg Trading Cor poration, Soviet purchasing agen- cy, which bought the oil from sev- eral large United States compan- ies.

Italian President Nicola Resigns

ROME, (P)-Provisional Presi- dent Enrico de Nicola, 69, sent his resignation to the constituent as- sembly today.
 The resignation came after ap- proximately 6,OOO,OOO members of the munist-dominated general confederation of labor held a na- tionwide half hour strike at mid morning in protest against the series of attacks on Sicilian Com munist headquarters Sunday.
 De Nicolas message, read to a hushed assembly by speaker Um- berto Terracini said his health prevented him from exercising "my functions any longer"
 The possibility. remained that the assembly might ask de Nicola to serve again. Other candidates mentioned were three old men of Italian politics, all former pre- miers: Ivanhoe Bonomi, Francisco Saverco Nitti and Vittorco Emen- uele Orlando, last survivor of the Big Four of the first world war.
 Only railway workers and em- ployees in the most essential pub lie services were exempted from the confederation call for a folded arms" work stoppage.
 AS whistles blew to announce the start of the strike, buses and other means of local transporta- ton came to halt in Rome. Pas sengers descended and continued on their way afoot, or waited pa- tiently for the end of the half hour.

On the Other Hapd'
Banking Chairman Wolcott May
Have Answer to Price Problem

Halleck, Banking Committee Chair
man Wolcott and National Republic
can Chairman Reece made the
charge, after conferring with
Speaker Martin. Chairman Wolcott
stated it in this manner:
II think I see . little political
racket worked in there. Anybody
knows that foreign purchasing can
not be done without some impact on
domestic prices.
If the President can bring down
prices without consumer controls, he
is . genius-and wen admit It,"
Only the Beginning.
Chairman Wolcott apparently
thinks that's the end Of the matter.
1t should be only the beginning.
First, everybody can agree that
President Truman is not . genius,
or not sufficiently . genius to bring
prices down without consumer con-
trolls. Everybody already has agreed
that prices should be brought down
before the price structure topples
over and crushes us. The President
cannot bring them down without
price controls. Therefore It would
seem to be clear that he should
bring them down-through price
controls. And that Congress should
provide the controls without delay.
But, many people say, that would
take too long. The machinery, they
say, could not be set up in less than
six months and we can't wait that
long. All that can be done quickly,
they say, Is the institution of con-
trolls ut the source over . limited
list Of basic commodities. Suppose
that is agreed to and that it is
done. It will help, but 1t will not
be sufacient.
Meantime. however, We could be
setting up the needed machinery to
carry out the only plan that, on
the word of Chairman Wolcott, will
do the job that eventually has to
be done.
It might prove to be the only
good politics either party can play
right now in q matter that has
both parties frightened.
