U. n. Debates Today
Soviet Proposals on
.0bjeciiyes Of Press
BY the Assoeicied Pres,

LAKE SUCCESS, May 27.-So-
viet Russia's proposals on the basic
ohjectives of the press in the post
war world came up for debate to-
day in the United Nations with
prospects of some sharp comment.
The 12-nation Subcommission on
Freedom Of Information and of the
Press, called to meet this morning,
was expected to take special note
of Russian charges that certain un-
named correspondents and column
lists were seeking sensationalism and
their own personal advantage by
creating disharmony. Soviet Dele
gate Y. NJ. Lomakin, who presented
the accusation, said 1t was high
time to call to order these machine
gunners and so-called heroes"
Palestine Group Idles.
The press freedom issue moved
into the U. N spotlight as the
General Assembiy's Commission ON
Palestine idled along after an open
ing session yesterday attended by
only Of its II delegates.
Those five-from Australia. Qua
ten1ala, Iran, Peru and Yugoslavia-
hoped for early arrival of their col
leagues and meanwhile, scheduled
an informal meeting today to try to
clear away procedural details.
The commission expects to be of
for Palestine the first week In June,
having in mind the deadlipe Of Sep
tember | for its report back to the
Assembly.
Among preliminary issues to be
settled were whether the. commits
sion would visit the displaced per-
sons camps in Europe while making
its investigation, how and which
non governmental agencies would
be heard, whether the Jewish
Agency request to place liaison Of
ficers with the group should be
granted, and how much day-to-day
information should be made public
as the group tackles the job.
Next Session Set for Thursday.
The next public meeting of the
commission was set tentatively for
Thursday. Regular delegates from
Canada, Czechosiovakia, India. the
Netherlands, Sweden and Uruguay
still were missing, but some of them
were not expected to join the party
until 1t arrived overseas.
In offering his proposals to the
press group, Mr.. Lonakin said the
first task of the group and the in
terrational conference it has ar
ranged for Europe next year was to
define the objectives and tasks of
the press.
He said there had been harmony
among the Allies during the war, but
that this had not continued, and
he laid much of the. blame on GER
tain sections of the press. The Rus
sian added that even at the outset
of the U. N. some papers had pub
iished quite obviously false reports"
on the San Francisco Conference.

Downward After
Attempt 10 Rally
By Victor Eubonk
As,oeioied pr,.. EinaneiuI Writer


NEW YORK, May 27.-Tne stock
market generally continued its
downward course today after an
early selectives recovery attempt
failed to get anywhere in particular.
While dealings were light from
the start they were a bit ahead Of
Mondays exceptionally slow session.
Declines OF fractions to a point or
so held a wide majority near the
fourth hour. There were a few
stumbles of 2 to 8.
Professionals, as well as most
brokerage clients. inclined to trim
accounts because of persistent talk
of an economic setback later in the
year. Doubts regarding tax relief,
labor legislation and the interna-
tional situation again accentuated
speculative and investment caution.
"A little purchasing here and there
was credited to hopes for a further
technical revival.

Interferences Delay
Price Adjustments,
Sloan Declares
BY the A,.oeio,ed Pres.

WILMINGTON, Del, MAY 81
Essential adjustments in price levels
OF manufactured goods "can and
will only be brought about by the
pressure Of goods on prices and not
by the pressure of propaganda on
economic relationships" Alfred p.
Sloan, jr., told General Motors Corp.
stockholders today.
Referring to "indiscriminately
directed" appeals to reduce prices
and to criticisms of business profits
Mr.. Sloan, chairman of the board
told the annual meeting that such
promotional and emotional efforts
have little economic justification.
Figuratively speaking" he said
1t Is the cash register of the coun-
try rejecting hundreds of millions
Of transactions that validates wages,
prices and business volume, and
Justif1es profits in free competitive
economy. And the more interfer-
ences are kept out, the sooner the
essential adjustments will be ac-
complished."
AutomoDlle prices, Mr.. Sloan said
have been increased less than prices
in general when compared with
January, l94l, levels.
He reported a reasonable expec-
fancy, unless some radical change
should take place in the economic
picture. that General Motors can
operate at capacity levels, or to the
degree that materials are available,
for considerable period-certainly
well into l948."
Consumer demands for all Cen
eral Motors products, Mr.. Sloan said.
continue undated at very high
Levels"
Firm orders are being placed by
consumers for automotive products
with prospective delivery more than
year hence" he said. Incoming
orders for products in most in
stances are in excess OF outgoing de-
liveries.'
