a 10 per cent rent increase order
prepared last Wednesday by the
Office of Temporary Controls.
Would Curtail Housing Program.
Unless new rental property is
exempted from ceilings and speci-
fic time is set for, ending controls
on existing dwellings, Mr.. Nelson
declared, I'VE cannot expect to
bring on, the, market sufficient hous-
ing to meet the demand" "''".'
He added that an "across-the-
board" increase Is the "only way
that we can hope to compensate in
some measure the losses and hard
ships sustained by that large seq
ment of the owners of one to four
units of rental property"
Commenting on the Presidents
last-minute refusal to approve the
OTC-directed rent increase, Mr..
Nelson said:
Congress said the emergency
price control should be fair and
equitable in the matter of rents.
Cites Fear of OPA Removal.
"The President has seen fit to
evade the issue for political reasons
as evidenced by his veto of the Of
flee of Temporary Controls order
calling for 10 per cent 'across-the-
board increase"
MIR. Nelson declared the President
faced the same issue on other COM
modities under OPA control last
year. He said the President pre-
dicted prices would soar and hurt
the little fellow when controls were
removed. He expressed concern for
the great inarticulate masses, but
we all know what happened"
Private enterprise accepted the
challenge" Mr.. Nelson continued,
"and the Nations press today con-
tinues to carry stories of falling
prices and new products coming
off the production line in great
quantities.
1.-The same principal hold true for
housing"
Mr.. Nelson's contention that con-
trolls have delayed construction
echoed claim by Ewell E. Brans-
come, Miami Beach (Fla), real es-
tate man.
In another statement prepared for
the committee, Branscome asserted: ::
Nov that any one is allowed by
the Government to build himself a
home, and because Of the liberal
loan policies of loan companies,
there is really no excuse for the con-
tinuance of the rent control octopus
which is strangling the building of
housing"

IL. 5. Will Encourage
German Youth Group,
As Aid TO Democracy
By Gornett D. Horner

The United States today an
nounced a policy of encouraging
formation of voluntary youth groups
in Germany to promote political
and moral reorientation of German
youth toward democracy and peace" /"
The youth program for the Amer
ican occupied zone in Germany was
outlined in a policy statement re-
leased by the State, War and Navy
Departments.
The program is aimed at over
coming Nazi Decentralization of Ger
many's younger generation. Juve-
nile delinquency has been increas-
ing in Germany, the statement
pointed out.
'Uncounted numbers Of juveniles,
instead of applying for regular en-
ployment, enter the black market
and barter trade" it said. Ger
man girls often prefer to obtain
their rations by determination with
Allied troops"
Organized Activities Sought.
The youth groups to be encouraged
will aim at organized activities for
all German youths "to provide ex-
|perience in democratic practices
which provide initiative and respon-
sibility, freedom of expression, fair
ness and cooperation" .
Membership in the youth groups,
the statement stipulated, must not
be limited by race or social status or
financial means.
It provided that no young Ger
mans convicted under denazification
laws or found guilty of hostility to
the Allied forces can become men,
bers of youth group except in ex-
ceptional cases after completion of
a special training program.
The statement said German au.
thorities will be advised to under
take special measures devoid Of
any punitive character" for reori-
enting youths currently banned
from participation in the organized
groups.
Previous Indifference Cited.
The statement pointed out that

young generation by the Nazis.

trolls, leaving them in a vacuum, u
the statement said.
1t added that indifference by elder
German authorities so far had often
"hindered and discouraged young
people" in their efforts to re-estab-
lish themselves.
The statement described the great
majority of German youth now as
"distrustful, apathetic to political
questions, If not outright cynical
and altogether uncertain as to where
to fix its wavering loyalty"

show that Joseph Cook, president
of Valley Mould Local 1929, re-

race for international teller. CLIO
president Philip Murray, who was
unopposed for reelection, received
the highest number of ballots
cast, over $4,000.
Cooks candidacy had aroused
great interest in Chicago and
elsewhere, as the veteran South
Chicago steel union leader was
the only Negro candidate running
for international office in the

over one-quarter of the total cast

10 lneSe women, the Tepdfd
tions issue boils %Swn to this:
Nazi destruction cost France $97
billion plus untold human life and
suffering. Now people in b ot h
France and Germany are having
hard time. Is it fair, they ask,
that Germany get preferred treat
ment in reconstruction?
To the Soviet people, the ques-
ton is just as clear cut. The So
Wet Union lost more than 10 mil
lion people and $135 billion in
property in the war. Sixty thou
sand buildings were totally ,des-
troyed, LILO towns, 10000 vii
lagos and $4,000 collective farms
were reduced to rubble, $1,000
factories were ruined and Is mil
lion people were left homeless
as a result OF the German inva-
sion.
WHEN Roosevelt, Churchill and
Stain met at the Yalta confer
ence in February 1945, they set
the figure of total reparations at
$40 billion, with h If of that
amount to go to the Soviet Union,
which had suffered the greatest
losses of any nation in the war.
When the U. S. accepted the
job as one of four occupying
powers in Germany, it was i'm
plicit that American taxpayers
would have to support the prof.
ect. Now Sec. of State George
c. Marshall has announced U. S.
withdrawal from the Yalta agree
ment signed by Roosevelt.
He is supported in this by Her
bert Hoover and John Foster
Dulles, an, adviser in Moscow,
who say that the rapid recon-
struction of German industry will
save money for the American tax
payers because Germany will pay
its own way.
HOOVER and Dulles make no
reference to the fact that the
American people do not own Ger
man industry and therefore will

Ramadier Presents
Confidence Motion :
BY the Assoeiafed Press

PARIS, July 3.-French Premier
Paul Ramadier today posed con-
fidence motion before the National
Assembly and was virtually certain
of winning approval when the vote
ensues tomorrow.
Despite initial hanging back, all
parties that make up the coalition,
non Communist cabinet closed their
ranks at the last moment and
agreed on a simple motion express
ing confidence in the government
and the economic policies it intends
to follow.
There was little doubt that the
collapse of the three-power talks
here on the American "aid-Europe"
plan Influenced the parties to band
together to prevent any return Of
the Communists to the government
through a crisis that might bring
Mr.. Ramadier's downfall.
The premier's own Socialist Party
was expected to react similarly in
its weekend national council and
re-indorse his efforts to govern
without the labor dominated Com
munists. despite the risk of further
serious strikes.
Although he gave the National
Assembly only a general outline OF
his economic policies, Mr.. Ra-
nader surprised the legislators by
hitting out hard at both the ex-
treme right-who took violent Of
fense at what they interpreted as
an attempt to link them with the
recent plot to overthrow the re-
public-and the extreme left, whom
he blamed again for the strikes.

Rare Female Onion Mothers
Biqqer and Better Progeny

With corn the problem Is rela-
lively simple. A minor surgical
operation is performed which makes
the bloom either all male or all
female. Then they can be crossed
and new blood introduced with the
progeny. With the onion, how
ever, this operation Is practically
impossible, the organs OF both sexes
being so intermingled.
The breeding program is follow
ing two lines in the manipulation
of heredity. One cross led to the
propagation of an exclusively fe-
male line to be. used for further
crosses. Other crosses introduced
ali sorts of new qualities, but the
plants were all of both sexes. The
key to the whole breeding program,
it is pointed out, is a continuous
succession of onion mothers to
serve as the starting points for new
races. The major effort at present
is to breed out susceptibility to
diseases.
It is, at best. a slow progress
from the single female discovered
by chance more than 20 years ago,
the plant breeders say, and they
are Just now on the threshold OF
