The mercury was a sure bet to
eclipse the years high mark of 80,

Weather Bureau annals was 101 in
1911. In 1899 the thermometer
registered 95 degrees.
Hope for early relief was based
on a cold front moving this way
from Canada which sent tempera-
lures tumbling to as low as % de-

The Weather Bureau said the

New Soviet Proposals
On Atom Open Wayfor
Accord on Inspection
Gromyko's Suggestions
Leuve Russiu and U. S.
Still Opposed on Veto
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, June IL
Russia today offered the United
Nations a new set of atomic pro-
posals which left the Soviet posi-
tion on the veto in direct conflict
with that of the United States,
but opened a possibility of agree
ment over international inspec-
tions.
Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei
A. Gromyko, speaking before the
U. N. Atomic Energy Commission
after a widely publicized request for
a special meeting, called for estab-
lishment of a world commission tc
carry out "strict international con-
troll over all facilities" engaged in
mining and production of atomic
energy.
However, he stipulated that the
proposed commission should operate
within the framework of the Sc
curity Council" where Russia and
the other four big powers hold the
power of veto. Further, he said the
proposed body would make recon.
mendations to the Council or
measures for prevention and sup
preston in respect to violators.'
Insists on Inspections.
On inspections Mr.. Gromyko was
not so clear and French Delegate
Alexandra Parodi said in reply:
"A study of these proposals will
enable us to see how far the Soviet
Union will go in the matter of in
spection."
Mr.. Gromyko said the proposed
commission, with internationally re-
cruited personnel, would have "ac-
cess to any facilities for mining
production and stockpiling."
The United States, which has
been unbending in its stand against
the veto in atomic matters, also
insists on unlimited international
inspections.
In this connection, Mr.. Gromyko
raised the question later in his
speech as to whether the U. N
would have to operate at times
through governments rather than
directly when he said that the COM
mission should have the right OF
requesting from the governments
of any nation and checking of va
rious data and reports on the ac-
tivities of atomic energy facilities
Amendments Not Withdrawn.
Mr.. Gromyko took the floor later
to explain that the new proposals
were an elaboration of his earlier
plan. He stressed that he was not
withdrawing Soviet amendments to
the American atomic plan, including
those affecting the veto.
He delivered his 15-minute speech
in English, appearing before the full
12-nation commission after telling a
Working Committee yesterday that
he was full of compromises"
Declaring that the Atomic Energy
Commission has not made due pro-
gress in it's work even after the
commissions majority Endorsement
of the American tBaruch) plan,
Mr.. Gromyko said "it is time to
proceed to the solution of concrete
tasks"
He added the Soviet Union would
insist that the task on prohibiting
atomic weapons be considered from
the viewpoint of its necessity"

Arlington Seeks Reimbursement
For Tax Lost on u. S. Property

that Arlington County should be re-

Mr.. Green said, yet it would not
seem unreasonable that the county
be reimbursed for office buildings
such as the Navy Annex, the Penta-

other Federal projects located in

IF there were reasonable alloca-

of the losses from Federal property,
it would greatly relieve the tax bur-

George Asks Snyder
To Urge Truman 10
Sign Tax Reduction
Says Veto Would Block
Any Chance of Slash
Before July !, l948
By the Associated Press

Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia said today he has asked
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
to urge President Truman to
sign the $4,000, 100000 tax reduo-
ton bill.
Senator George, who supported
the measure when it passed the
Senate but has said he would hesitate
to vote to override a veto, based his
plea on the contention that a veto
now would kill any chance OF a tax
cut before July l, 1948.
Il think a veto of the bill would
eliminate any reduction in tax rates
until the latter part of 1948," the
Georgia Senator, top Democrat on
the Senate Finance Committee, said.
The President will be in no posi-
ton to, and cannot afford, to rec
ommend a tax reduction in January
if he opposes 1t now"
Monday Is Deadline.
Mr.. Truman has until next Mon
day to act on the bill.
Senator Georges request to Sec
retary Snyder apparently reflects a
growing feeling among some Demo-
Gratis that they may find themselves
at a political disadvantage In next
years elections If they are labelled
with having killed the Republican
sponsored tax reduction.
Another Democrat, who voted
against the measure, said he thinks
it would be politically wise for the
President to let the bill become law.
In any event, Senator Millikin,
of Colorado, Finance
Committee. chairman, said that If
there is veto the Republicans will
present the President with new
tax bill as quickly as they can after
Congress meets again in January.

Truman Promises Aid to Nations
Standing Firm Against Coercion;
Protest Sent to Reds on Hungary
Contents of Note
Will Be Issued
Later Today
By the Assoeiated Press


The United States today sem
Russia a strong protest against
the Soviet upset of Hungary
government.
The State Department note re.
portedly carries threat to take ths
case before the United Nations i!
necessary.
The main proposal for action con.
tanned in the protest is understood
to be request for a joint Ameri.
British Russian investigation o.
the situation in Hungary.
1t was possible that some last.
minute changes were made in The
text of the note by Secretary O
State Marshall, who went over il
finally shortly before 1t was sen
out.
Proposals Not Revealed.
State Department officials refused
to detail the notes proposal i'm.
mediately, but it was learned thai
the message on this country's view:
was sent to Soviet 1t. Gen. v. P
Sviridov, chairman of the Allied
Control Commission in Hungary
with copies to Moscow and to Lon
don.
The text of the note is expected
to be made available later in the
day for publication this evening.
AS the document was originally
prepared, it accused the Soviets of
unjustif1ed interference in the in
ternal affairs of Hungary and of
violating the Yalta agreement. 1t
proposed the three-power investiga-
ton with the threat of taking the
whole case to the United Nations
unless satisfactory information can
be turned up absolving Russia of the
American accusations.
Diplomatic officials indicated to-
day that the term United Nations
is not actually used in the text OF
the note as finally sent, but said
there was no mistaking that an
appeal to the United Nations is
the ultimate move.
Charge Termed Propaganda.
The State Department hung a
propaganda" tag last night on a
Communist charge in Budapest
that Undersecretary of State Ache
son had made secret commitments
last March to support Premier
Ferenc Macy of Hungary. Mr.. Macy
recently was ousted by the Com
munists.
The department published the ex.
change of correspondence on which
the charge was based and Press
Officer Michael McDermott com.
mented:
ANY allegations that secret com.
mitments were made are now ex-
posed"
Other officials described tht
Budapest charge as simply Com.
munist propaganda maneuver.
They said it evidently was designed
to try to discredit American policy
in Hungary because of severe Amer
lean criticism of the coup through
which the Communists seized power
last week, compelling Mr.. Macy te
resign.

Compton Tells Hearing
Training Will Increase
Chances for Peace
Says Small Nations Would
Follow U. S. Aims if Sure
OF Power Behind Them

Adoption of universal military
training by this country would
increase the chances for main
tanning peace through interna-
tional agreements, DR.. Karl T.
Compton, president of the Mass
achusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy, told the House Armed Serv-
ices Committee as it began hear
ings on the subject today.
DR.. Compton, who served as chair
man of President Truman's COM
mission on military training, was
asked by Representative johnson
Republican, of California, if adop-
ton of the program would have
any psychological effect toward
facilitating peaceful agreements be-
tween nations.
Il believe it will the educator
answered. There are some small
nations that would like to follow
our ideologies, but hey fear we
have not the power or the intent to
back them up"
No Substitute for Strong Navy.
''Is this the most important step
we can take to convince the world
we intend to remain strong?" asked
Representative Skies, Democrat, of
Florida.
Il think it is the most important
new step we could take" DR.. Comp
ton replied, but he emphasized it
could not be regarded as substitute
for a. strong Navy or plans for in
dustrial mobilization
He added also that another i'm
portant step outside of the military
field is to ''be just and generous in
dealing with other nations"

China Accuses Soviet
Of Responsibility for
Invasion Of Sinkianq
Ambassador Is Directed
To Protest to Moscow
And MongoIion Envoy
By the Associated Press

NANKING, June 11.-A Chi
nese government spokesman, de-
claring this is no ordinary
frontier incident" charged Rus
sia today with partial response
bility for an Outer Mongolian
invasion of China's remote Sim
kiang province.
The government instructed its Am
bassador in Moscow to protest the
incident to both the Soviet govern
ment and to the Outer Mongolian
Minister there as the aftermath of
a punitive campaign which carried a
Mongol cavalry battalion so miles
into China.
Chang Yuan-chang, Foreign Office
spokesman, gave no reasons why
China was protesting directly to
Moscow and refused comment on
whether warplanes with Soviet
markings had supported the Mongol
attack, as reported by the official
Central News Agency. Outer Mon
golia, however, is pro-Soviet.
The Mongols rode into Sinkiang
Friday, apparently to attempt to
force the release of eight Mongolian
soldiers held by the Chinese. Two
Chinese soldiers we're reported killed
and others wounded in the initial
assault on Peitashan. Chinese
sources said today a number of Mon
gols were killed when Chinese war
planes ordered to disperse the in
vaders inadvertently dropped bombs
among them.
Soviet Held Responsible.
Chang told a news conference:
This is no ordinary frontier Incl
dent. The government views the
matter with deep concern" He said
his government considers the
Soviet government has a RESPONSE
bility for the attack"
while our local military author
tiles have been ordered to exercise
all possible restraint in defense of
their position the spokesman con-
tinued, "the government has in
structed it's Ambassador in Moscow
to protest to the Soviet government
as well as Outer Mongolia through
it's Minister"
Meanwhile, he said authorities
here contemplated sending high
ranking official to Sinkiang to give
necessary directions to local au-
thorities."
In the background of the clash,
eight Mongolian soldiers had been
seized by a Chinese border patrol.
4S-Hour Ultimatum Issued.
Reliable sources here said the
Mongolian commander had issued a
48-hour ultimatum demanding the
release of the captives. The Chi
nese garrison commander ordered
the men freed, these sources said,
but his order reached Peitashan too
late.

Buying Drops as Price
Goes Higher on Meats;
Steak ST in One Store
Customers in Other Shops
Turn to Cheaper Cuts;
Rise Puzzles Experts

Decisive increases in meat
prices here today brought re-
ports from at least one chain
that customers "just aren't
buying"
One dealer said his customers
were turning to cheaper grades of
meat, but another exclaimed, They
just aren't buying at ALL"
The latter said his price for por-
terhouse stood at 81 pound. Round
steak was set at IS cents a pound,
he said, while lamb loin chops were
raised to 81 pound and lamb rib
chops to IS cents.
A spokesman for another chain
store said business was about as
usual but that he expected. it to fall
off. His store has raised prices
twice in the last 10 days. he said.
Chain Raises Prices 10 Cents.
Another of the city's largest
chains, which had been holding to
slightly higher prices ordered into
effect last week, today marked up
prices 10 cents. Cheaper grades
went up 2 cents.
SirIoin steak, a spokesman said,
was up to 70 cents-10 cents higher
than the over -the-counter price 10
days ago.
But this was below many in
creases announced yesterday as
dealers claimed they had to pass on
wholesale price increases they had
been absorbing for the last few
weeks. Greatest change was seen
in the price of beef, with lamb and
some cuts of pork also are affected.
Steak SO Gents Pound.
One dealer reported a boost in
steak prices from SO to 80 cents a
pound and claimed he would have
to raise it to 81 to make a profit"
Another raised the price of lamb
chops S cents to 95 cents a pound.
A few weeks ago, he said, they sold
for 10 cents. The price for steaks
at stores of another chain was IS
cents a pound.
Explanations for the rise ranged
from heavy foreign purchases to
higher feed costs, but most experts
admitted they were puzzled by the
sudden increases.

tional Meat Industrial Council, said
agents of buyers in England, Ger
