with any amendments, said commit
tee members felt it would be better
nonetheless, to approve the bill with
the amendment. It had been sug-
gested, he said, that the amendment
approved today be put on some
other bill so that the Rivers bill
could 60 directly to the White House
on Senate approval.
Such a move would keep the bill
from returning to the House, where
it faces a complicated parliamentary
situation which might put it back in
the unfriendly Agriculture Commit
tee or the House Rules Committee,
also considered unfriendly by mar
garine supporters.
Ball Fears Milk Price Rise.
But Senator Millikin said the
committee felt that putting the
amendment on another bill would
bring about period in which there
would be no control over margarine
served in eating places. He said
the committee felt the procedure
agreed on would not cause "any
greater loss" from the public stand
point than If an attempt were made
to add the provision in the other
way"
In a statement to the Finance
Committee before todays vote, Sen
ator Ball, Republican, Of Minnesota
contended that removal of the tax
on colored oleo would force up milk
prices. He also said margarine pro-
ducers would be place "in q beauti-
full position to increase their prices,
regardless of costs"

Nebraska says he has checked with

Oil Co., had reported they have
scheduled a shipment of $4,000 tons

groups who want scarce steel kept
here have protested such exports.
At their insistence, the Commerce
Department has held up all licenses

Last night Senator Wherry said
that, while the department told
him that no licenses are being is
sued to the company, he was told
at the same time that another small

Accord on Ruhr Rule
Breaks Deadlock on
West Reich Future
BY the kssoeiofsd Press

LONDON, May 27.-A six-na-
tion deadlock over Western
Germany's future was broken
today and negotiators appeared
headed for full agreement on
setting up a provisional German
government.
Diplomatic officials said the break
In an economic inpasse came last
night when the delegates concurred
on broad powers for an interna-
tional control board over the min
eral resources Of the Ruhr.
The deadlock, caused by French
objection to the plan for reshap-
ing Western Germany's future,
had threatened to cause failure of
the talks-involving the United
States, Britain, France, Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Informants said France agreed
to the Ruhr international authority
for control over ALLEGATIONS Of iron
ore, coal and coke after the United
States made concessions on French
demands that safeguards be set up
against the possibility that expand
ed German production might be
used as war potential The chief
concern Of France-twice ravaged
by war with Germany in Is years
has been for her own security.
Last nights agreement was
reached after British Foreign Secre-
tary Bevin intervened. Mr.. Bevin
conferred Tuesday with American
Ambassador Lewis w. Douglas, chief
of the American delegation, and
Rene Massigli, French Ambassador
and head of the French delegation.
The British secretary was reported
to have advised the American and
French delegates to compromise, on
the ground that the deadlock might
jeopardize both the European Re
covery Program and the future of
the Western European alliance
among Britain, France, Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg.
The French are expected to with
draw their objection to the creation
OF 4 provisional German government
starting with a constituent assembly
on or about September /.

He would not discuss the names o1

The Senator said he felt the bill as
amended has "a better chance Of
getting through than an unamended
BILL"
Both Senator Millikin and Sen.
ator Taft, Republican, OF Ohio, who
was present at the Finance Commit
tee session, said the Senate Repub.
lican Policy Committee, at a meet
ing tomorrow, will determine wheth-
er to put the margarine bill on the

tions were that the bill will be put
on the list, since Senator Taft, who

favors the legislation with such an

Fate on Floor Uncertain.
The bills fate on the Senate floor,
however, is far from certain, despite
the indications of majority support.
Butter and dairy State Senators are
known to be preparing numerous

of instructing Gen. Macarthur to

Early Return Favored.
Both Senator Bridges and Senator
Wherry emphasized that they want
the 67-year-old general to return at
the earliest possible date so the
hearings, now in progress, will not
be held up.
Senator Bridges said that while
he feels the Army will instruct Gen
Macarthur to return, there is the
possibility that some great emer-
gency would arise" in the Far East
and Macarthur would so state"
Senator Gurney said he tele-
phoned Defense Secretary Forrestal

Arthur come with the general"
Asked If he included their small
son, Senator Gurney said he thinks
"the whole family" ought to come
back with him.
Senator Gurney said Mr.. For

general was coming back or when
he could come.

nomination.
Record in Japan Praised.
Senator Wherry said the japanese
occupation has been the one bright
spot" in United States postwar pol
icy, and he thinks Gen. Macarthur
should be recalled to give Congress
f1rst-hand report.
Senator Dworshak said, II don't
know of anything it would accom-
plish, and I don't know of any harm
it could do.

he said, I'VE should know 1t. If he
can tell us how to make the Euro

be worth while"
Gen. Macarthur has not been back
in this country since before Pearl
Harbor. He has said he intends to
stay In Tokyo until his job is fin

General May Accept Now.
Last February the general pleaded
pressure Of business in Tokyo when
a similar movement was underway
in the House Foreign Affairs Com

More recently, however, there
have been reports that the general
might respond to a fresh invitation.
In this connection, hackers Of
Senator Taft of Ohio are said to be
eager for Gen. Macarthur to put

and to what it can be to all men, If
the democratic principles on which
it was founded are extended to Inv
clude the whole world. I will live
for that day."

both messages in his telegram to
