Goodrich Reduces
Passenger Tire Price.
BY the Assoeioted Press

BY the Associoted Press
AKRON. Ohio, May 31.-A general
reduction In the retail list of prices
for passenger tires and tubes manu-
featured by the B. F. Goodrich Co.
was announced tonight by James j
Newman, vice president.
In announcing the reduction. Mr.
Newman cited cooperation of re-
ta1lers in sharing with the company
"a substantial reduction in profit"
Effective Monday, the new price
for example, of the company,s 600x
Is Silvertown will be $14.40, COM
pared with the previous price OF
s16.l0, exclusive of Federal excise
tax.
Our first postwar price reduction
Is taken in spite of the fact that the
cost OF both materials and labor are
many millions of dollars higher than
were prewar material and labor
costs" Mr.. Newman said.
Main factors for making price
reductions at this time are expecta-
ton of increased manpower eff
cheney, anticipated lower material
costs and forecast of continuing
relatively high level of production
and sales"
He pointed out that in the last
Is years the average motorists tire
cost per thousand miles has come
down from s2.35 to IS cents.
This general reduction in prices
brings all popular prices of the COM
pany's passenger car tires below pre-
war prices for tires that outwear
preWar tires, 'fMr. Newman declared.

Presbyierians Call
Recess in Montreal,
Defer Reunion Vote
By The Assoeiotsd Press

MONTREAL, N. c., May 81
Southern Presbyterians recessed
their 87th General Assembly today
for Sunday devotions amid growing
indications that the controversy over
reunion with Northern Presbyterians
will not be put to a decisive vote In
present sessions.
While the long standing question
has not been mentioned on he floor
of the assembly, a spokesman for
opponents of the plan made 1t known
that some Of his group would not
raise serious objections to report
from the assembly's committee on
cooperation and union.
The report, officials explained, will
recommend that the proposed plan
for reunion be received by the as
sembly for study by the 81 presby-
teries in 16 synods before being SUBJ
mitted to the 1s48 assembly for ap-
prevail.
Action Taken by Northerners.
Similar action, conditioned on fav-
orable action in the Presbyterian
Church of the United States South
ern). was taken by the assembly of
the Presbyterian Church in the Uni
ted States of America (Northern)
this month in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Should the committees recommen-
dations be approved by the assembly
and favorable vote be taken by the
l948 assembly, the plan would be
sent down to the presbyteries for
ratification during 1948-49.
If it received the required two
thirds vote of the Presbyterians, the
plan would be enacted by the 1949
general assembly and the combined
church would hold its first meeting
in 1850.
AS the sessions of the week long
assembly went into the third day
the assembly's Permanent Commit
tee on Christian Relations called on
the commissioners to take positive
action favoring the protection OF
civil rights of minority groups.
Referred to Committee.
The report, which condemned "all
organizations and individuals whose
aim and purpose is to hinder any
American minorities in the exercise
of their minority rights was re-
ferred to committee before being put
to a vote by the assembly.
The assembly voted unanimously
that DIR. John Rood Cunningham. OF
Davidson, moderator, write to Presi-
dent Truman urging the immediate
recall of the American envoy to the
Vatican.
The Christian relations commit
tee also recommended that church
members become "as fully informed
as possible about Russia" and tt
guard carefully what they say about
Russia" 1t added that the state
ment that war between America
and Russia is inevitable is a con-
lecture based more on fears than or
facts"

Appropriation Bills
Face Snag as Others
J.
GET Clear Sailing

With the June 30 deadline for
much legislation now one month of,
leaders Of Congress yesterday re-
ported jam In prospect over ap-
preparation bills but a clear track
for cleaning up other business.
House Majority Leader Halleck
and other Republican chiefs ex-
pressed pride in the session accom-
plishments and said they expect it
to adjourn on schedule July 81 with
out difficulty.
Twelve big appropriation bills
must be passed to supply funds for
the Governments operations in the
fiscal year starting July /. Six have
been passed so far by the House,
totalling some $4,000, 100000 and
trimming presidential estimates by
about $4,000, 0o0, 600. But only one
has passed the Senate, and it has
not yet cleared Congress finally.
Bills Urged by Marshall Up.
Various factors also make June 30

control and deal with national
strikes such as a coal walkout, and
for four measures In the interna-
tional field which Secretary of State
Marshall deems urgent.
The labor bill will go to Presi-
dent Truman. for an uncertain fate.
this week. The rent bill, passed by
the House and UP for Senate action
tomorrow, also seems sure to reach
the White House before the dead
line.
But congressional leaders indi-
cate that only two of Gen. Mar
shall's four urgent measures may
be passed this session. These are
bills for United States participa-
ton in the International Refugee
Organization and to authorize the
State Departments foreign informa-
ton and cultural program, includ-
ing the Voice of America broad
casts. Measures for sending mill
tary missions to countries requesting
them and to permit the sale of arms
to friendly nations through an
amendment of the Neutrality Act
may go over until next year.
Docket in Good Shape.
Off to a slow start five months
ago under the new rules prescribed
by the Reorganization Act, Congress
has moved faster in the last few
months and has its legislative docket
IN good shape.
1t already has granted many of
the Presidents major requests for
legislation. although many others
are languishing.
It has approved $3.50, 900 900
foreign relief program, the $4o0, 000,-
900 aid to Greece and Turkey, con-
tinuation of wartime excise tax
rates, and extension of limited war
powers, all of which were requested
by Mr.. Truman.
Tax Reduction Bill on Way.
1t also passed the bill to outlaw
portal pay claims, and soon will send
the President a tax reduction bill
he does not want.
1t may. before it adjourns, pass
bills to unity the armed forces, and
to designate the speaker of the
House as next in line for the presi-
dency in the event of a vacancy
In the Office of President and Vice
President. Mr.. Truman has re-

for the truth all his life. He told me
he knew the truth and was looking
for something better"
Saroyan seldom feels that acid

full people.
