2. That an effective convention
should provide for establishing a
comprehensive system of interna-
tional control. This system would
include supervision and inspection
to insure the fulf1llment of the
terms of the convention. It would
protect complying states against the
hazards of violations and evasions.
8. That an international control
commission should be established,
charged with powers and response
bility for effective administration of
the atomic convention.
4. That the convention should, as
the report now reads, afford the
duly accredited representatives Of
the international control agency
unimpeded rights of ingress, egress
and access for the performance of
their inspections and other duties
into, from and within the territory
of every participating nation, un-
hindered by national or local au-
thorities.
This last principle is considered
important by the American delega-
ton, which considered Russia's ac-
ceptance perhaps highly signifi-
can't"
Meanwhile, Poland lined up with
Russia in a call for an international
convention prohibiting the produc-
ton Of atomic and other weapons
of mass destruction.
Poland and Russia abstained from
voting when the atomic commission
approved its report by 10 to
vote last December.
The United States has insisted
that its control plan, wrapped up
in the atomic commissions report
carried the conditions on which il
would surrender the atomic bomb
secrets to international control.

Western Oil Strike
Postponed for One
Final Conference
by the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ia
strike of approximately 10000 CIO
oil workers in five Western States,
scheduled to begin at 10 am. Pacific
time, has been postponed for an
other "a hours, Frank Wenig, Con-
Citation Service commissioner, an
nounced today.
Mr.. Wenig said the decision had
been reached in q telephone con-
ference with o. A. Knight, president
of the CIO Oil Workers Interna-
tional Union, who last night an
nounced in Long Beach that all ef-
forts to settle the wage dispute be-
tween the oil workers and seven ma
jor oil companies had failed.
"One final effort to reach a set
tlement will be made today at a
meeting of the union representatives
and the Standard Oh Co. in Ell
Segundo, near Los Angeles" Mr..
knight said in a statement released
by Mr.. Wenig.
MIR. Wenig and two other mem
bers of his three-man panel, William
Curtin and John Pfau, left San
Francisco by automobile for Ell
Segundo Immediately after the an
nouncement.
Would Cut Supply on Coast.
The scheduled walkout, which
would have caused an immediate re-
duction in gasoline supplies in Cali
fornia, Washington, Oregon, Ne
Ar;1 nol1nI
oil workers demand for a 25-per-
cent -an-hour pay raise above their
present basic wage of $1.40. The
union later cut its demand to 22.5
cents.
The oil companies concerned are
Standard of California, Shell, Union,
Tidewater Associated, Richfleld,
Texas and General Petroleum.
Counting subsidiaries, SO petroleum
companies would be struck.
A Shell Co. spokesman said work
ers had been offered a monthly wage
increase, plus cost of living ad-
justment, equivalent to an increase
of 202 cents per hour.
However, union negotiators dis
agree with the oil companies argu-
ment that the company offer would
be equivalent to 202 cents. The
union says half of 1.-THE cost of
living bonus-could be cancelled in
six months.
Natural Gas to Be Reduced.
In estimating that upward ot 20,-
900 workers would strike, Mr.. Knight
said that figure was based on the
unions total membership, but that
some men working for minor COM
panieS would not be affected. He was
unwilling to estimate how many of
these men there are, or how much
below 10000 the actual strikers
number would be.
The supply of natural gas to
homes and Offices in the Los Angeles
area would be reduced by the strike.
Utility companies were planning to
ration gas, if necessary.
AS for gasoline, since that COM
modify is delivered direct from re-
fnery to distributors in the Los
Angeles area, the effect on transpor-
tation would be immediate.
In,San Francisco, the strike would
quickly disrupt service on the city's
$50 motor buses, according to James
H Tugner, utilities manager. Police,
health and public workers depart
ments in San Francisco said they
had only a three or four day supply
of gasoline.
Gas companies in the Los Angeles
area already have asked household
ers to curtail or cease heating, and
to minimize usage for cooking,
wherever possible, to avoid COM
plete shutdown.

Points to Congress Control.
"The law is that not even indus
trial information can be turned over
until Congress acts" Mr.. Hicken-
looper told Senator McKellar.
Senator McKellar said he didn't
want to get into any row." but diff
fered with the chairman.
Mr.. Whine was a member of the
Secretary of States Advisory Com
mittee, which drafted the so-called
Lilienthal Acheson recommended
tions for international control of
atomic energy. He warmly indorsed
Mr.. Lilienthal and other nominees
for the commission and urged their
speedy confirmation.
Senator Mcmahon literally threw
up his hands as Senator McKellar
made his assertion about the COM
missions authority to give informa-
ton to foreign governments, and
remarked II can't take much more
of this"
Earlier, Senator Mcmahon had
burst out that he had had to listen
to "a lot of rag-tag and bob-tatl''
from the Tennessee Senator.
Senator McKellar didn't appear
perturbed by either encounter. He
reeled off a list of witnesses he
wanted subpoenaed, and got set for
another day.
Vandenberg Conceals Interest.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, whose prestige among
his colleagues might swing the Sen
ate's decision on Mr.. Lilienthal,
told an interviewer that he is reach
ing some rapid conclusions" on how
he will vote-but refused to say
how. President pro tempore of
the Senate, chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee, and
member of the Atomic Energy Com
mittee, Senator Vandenberg said:
II cannot make my own senti-
ments public until the jury has
brought in it's verdict. Then, I as
sure you, the Senate will know my
own intentions in the matter.
Amplifying an Endorsement OF the
nominee announced yesterday, Sem
ator Barkley of Kentucky, the Dem
ocratic leader, issued statement
saying "It has become fashionable
to accuse a man of being Com
munist or having Communist lean
ings if he entertains liberal or pro-
gressive views concerning Govern
ment or society.
"By any such standard, Jefferson,
Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Wood
row Wilson and Franklin D. Roose-
velt would have been barred from
public Office"
During yesterdays session letter
purporting to discuss Communist
activities in the Tennessee Valley
Authority during Mr.. Lilienthals
Craftsmanship was denounced as "a
fraud" by the man supposed to have
signed it. 49,
Henry c. Hart, who admitted
some 18 months membership in the
Communist Party while working for
iva, told the committee the letter
is "a Fabrication out of the whole
cloth" and declared it tragic that
the great issues before this commit
tee should be confused by fraudu-

In the meantime, he proposed that
the current per cent titling tax on
automobiles, worth 81, ,625 900 a year,
be transferred from general funds
to Road Commission funds.
Further, he proposed that the
State police which are now used
for many purposes other than road
control" be paid from general funds
instead of road commission funds.
This means that $450. 900 more year
must come from general funds.
In recommending an increase of
SIC, ,l90,000 q year in education ap-
propriations, MIR. Lane said:
I'm approaching the problem OF
financing our public schools, it is
imperative that we keep two impor-
tant factors in mind. In the first
place the salaries which are now
paid to the teachers in our school
system are too low and. should be
raised.
I'm the second place, our public
school facilities are far be-
low standard.
ITO meet these problems, the
State Department of Education has
estimated that an additional $l6,-
254.940 will be required in the fol-
lowing year. The total cost of pub
lie schools would then amount to
$31 ,195 ,039 in 1948 and $35, lac, ,581
in 1s49, assuming the restoration of
budget cuts"
The commission on distribution of
tax revenues, headed by Judge
Joseph Sherbow of Baltimore, rec
commended that the State increase
It's education expenditures by $5,-
100, 900. Gov. Lane himself proposed
to add another 5000, 900.
The Board of Revenue Estimates
proposed that the Maryland sales
levy exempt food for of the prem

British Miners Are Urged
10 Project 5-Day Week
BY ,he Assoeio.sd prsss

LONDON, May 3.-Britain's coal
miners were told by government
leaders and trade union chiefs today
to protect their newly won five-day
work week by increasing production
and refraining from unauthorized"
strikes.
The five-day week, goal of the
miners for nearly a century, goes
into effect Monday-with many In
this coal-short nation frankly fear
full that shorter working hours may
bring a repetition of last winters
fuel crisis in which thousands of
factories were forced to close.
Lord Hyndley, chairman of the
National Coal Board that operates
Britain's nationalized mines, said
In broadcast, There must be an
end to unofhcial strikes they injure
everybody and bring credit to none.
We must learn to work our agreed
conciliation machinery in fullest
confidence"
Arthur Horner, Communist gem
eral secretary OF the National Union
of MineWorkers, warned against
unconstitutional action and told
miners I'VE urge you not to betray
the government or the coal board. y
Under the new five-day, 371
hours week order, miners will get
their usual six-day pay providing
they work five full days.

Il do not believe refusal to make
public a unions financial statement

Al child whose reading difficulties
aren't Strengthened out may wind up
as juvenile delinquent or have
trouble getting along in the world.
This warning came yesterday from
DR.. Stella s. Center, head of New
York University's Reading Clinic, at
a meeting of teachers at the May
flower Hotel.
Children are constantly being put
in situations where they fail because
they cannot read as well as they are
expected to, DIR. Center said. This
not only discourages a child but
hurts his chances for intellectual
growth, she said.
ct won't let parents tell me q
child is lazy and won't pay atten-
ton, aDr. Center declared. That
is lazy diagnosis
Urges Cause Be Found.
/ Behind a child's reading dfacul-
ties, she said, may be faulty teach
i ing, some psychological problem OF
a physical defect.
Even thumb sucking may slow q
] child's ability to read. DR.. Center
pointed out that if the childs
mouth is malformed from thumb
sucking, he may develop speech
defect which interferes with his
ability to link sounds to printed
/ words.
\ DR. Center favored reading direc-
tors in public schools just as there
are physical education directors
She also proposed that reading be
taught in the first and possibly
even the second year of college.

tor of the Beaver Country Day

Nation Still Hot, Dry And Thirsty
(By The Associated Press)

Little rain was in prospect for the nations thirsty corn or to quench forest fires today as the midwest experienced a heat wave for the second Monday in a row with forecasts predicting some re- lief Tuesday.
 In the corn belt no rain was in immediate sight except for scat tered showers in western and cen tral Nebraska and in the next day or two, the weather bureau said. Some scattered showers fell Sun day in the Dakotas and southwest and some light rain was expected today in the Pacific Northwest, New Mexico and Arizona.
 Although forest fires still ragged in Idaho and California they were under control with little prospects of showers to douse them. Louisi- ana fire fighters also could expect no help from rain, as the south re- mained hot and virtually rainless, forecasters said.
