Offers Bill
To Restore Control Of
Atom Energy 10 Army
RoyoII Opposes Move;
ForrestoI FIotIy Says
Reds Do Not Have Bomb
BY the Associated Press

Senator Wherry, Republican,
of Nebraska today introduced a
bill to return control of atomic
energy to the Army.
The bill would abolish the civilian
Atomic Energy Commission. The
Secretary of the Army, instead,
would hold overall authority to di-
rect atomic energy matters.
The President would be directed
to make the shift 80 days after
passage of the legislation.
Senator Wherry submitted the
proposal about the same time Sec
retary of the Army Royal was tell
ing the Senate Armed Services
Committee he was not in favor of
change.
Royal Opposes Change.
II am averse to changing crgan-
izations that are working WELL" Mr..
Royal said. The Atomic Energy
Commission and the representa-
tives of the military are working
splendidly together. n We need
not suggest change"
Secretary of Defense Forrestal
who appeared before the committee
with Mr.. Royal, said fatty that
Russia does not yet know how to
produce atomic bombs.
He made the statement in listing
Americas assets. He said:
THE United States possesses the
knowledge and the capacity to make
the atom bomb, and as yet the
Soviets do not.
Russia Blamed for Control Failure
THE mere possession of this un-
doubted asset would not necessarily
turn the scale of war, if war should
come. But its possession has un-
doubted power to dissuade from ag-
gression any nation that believes
we have sufficient military strength
to put that weapon to effective use.
Then, departing from his pre-
pared text, Mr.. Forrestal said:
1T is fact known to all that
we have tried to propose an inter-
national agreement to deny our
selves the use of this weapon
He said these attempts have
failed because Russia has refused
to cooperate.
Secretary Royal gave his view
on atomic control in reply to a
question from Senator Bridges, Re-
publican, of New Hampshire.
Senator Bridges wanted to know
whether the control should be
shifted back to the military and il
not, whether the military should be
given a greater voice in the COM
mission.

Italy Willing 70 Deal
With Tito on Trieste;
Printers End Wa|kout
Rome Insists PorIeys Be
Held in Spirit of Note
Sent by Western Allies
BY the Associoted Press

ROME, Mar. Is. - Striking
printers went back to work today
and set the news that Italy is
willing to negotiate with Yugo-
slavia over Trieste.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman
said negotiations could be consid-
cred only in the spirit of the Amer
lean, British and French note pro-
posing return of the 400-square- mile
free territory to Italy.
The government and the Com
munist-controlled Italian Confed-
GRAFTON OF Labor, which some observ-
ers had accused of calling the press
strike for political reasons, an
nounced the end of the printers
Rslkout.
The strike had deprived Italians
OF newspapers since Sunday. Thus
it had cramped the political cam
paign. in which Communists are
striving for power in the April 1s
elections. Radios and public loud
speakers had been about the only
means of distributing news in Italy
Sincethe western powers announced
they favored the return of Trieste
to italy.
Printers Resume Work.
Premier Alcide de Gasperi's Office
said the settlement provided for
renewal of the national printers
contract, effective April /, with ad-
vances on pay increases eventually
to be granted. The printers re-
sumed work Immediately.
The printers strike was one of the
tightest and most complete of the
100 called in Italy during the past
several months. Most of the others
were sporadic and of short life
Only L'Osservatore Romano OF
Vatican City and the Rome Daily
American, an English Language
newspaper, were published during
the four days.
The ministry's spokesman en-
phasized his governments belief thai
only by eliminating the "discord re-
vealed in the question of the Trieste
free territory can constructive peace
be reached with our neighbors."
Workmen Oppose Students.
The three Western Allies an.
nounced Saturday that they hac
proposed to Russia and Italy "tha'
those governments join in agree
ment on an additional protocol tt
the treaty of peace with Italy
which would place the free territory
of Trieste once more under Italiar

American position in German had
been strengthened by decision to
continue army control of American

Gen. Marshall also told his news
conference that this government is

He said the American position in
relation to that alliance is not ready

Mr.. Truman said then that he
was confident the United States

Truman Asserts Revolt
Doesn't Disturb Him,
He S in Fight 10 Finish
Will Give Boilers Chance
To Walk Back Before
November, He Says

President Truman today served
notice on party recalcitrants
that he is going to stick to the
finish. He added his belief that
the Democrats would be success
full in November.
Asked to comment on what a re-
porter called the rising revolt in
Democratic ranks" which has been
stirred by the Presidents civil rights
program and the Palestine issue, Mr.
Truman said it doesn't disturb him.
Mr.. Truman told his news confer
ence he was correctly reported by
Senator Hatch, Democrat, OF New
Mexico, who said few days ago the
President was in the fight 10
finish.
AS to those who have walked out
of the administration camp, he sug-
gested to reporters that they wait
and see whether they will walk back
He added let's give them until No
vember; he will give them chance
to walk back.
Recalls Star Cartoon.
Asked if he agreed with an edi-
torial in The Evening Star yester.
day which said that Mr.. Truman
seemingly had decided that he
would rather be right than be Pres.
ident,' the President said it was q
cartoon rather than an editorial.
His questioner insisted it was ar
editorial, however, and the President
said he was sorry, but he hadn't
read it.
Meanwhile, new presidential dis
claimer by Gen. Eisenhower was
held out as a possibility by friends
who said the former Army Chief of
Staff may be forced to re-empha-
size his determination not to get
into the race for the White House.
The statement followed proposals
in Democratic quarters that Gen
Eisenhower replace Mr.. Truman at
the head of the party ticket, and
renewed efforts by some Republicans
to promote the Eisenhower can
didacy.
The general now is writing his
memoirs before taking up the presi-
dency of Columbia University in
June. Friends said he had taken
cognizance OF the new boom.

A compromise one-year con-
tinuation of rent controls was
voted by the House today, 22O to
95. The Senate is expected to
follow suit and send the legisla-
ton to President Truman by to-
night.
Without the legislation, the pres
ent controls, affecting about 49,
100000 dwelling places and $4,000, ,0Ot
persons, would emo a week from
today.
The compromise written by Senate
and House conferees after the two
chambers had passed differing bills
modifles the local control feature OF
the House version by giving a special
Federal court the last word on rent
boosts whenever local boards and
Federal officials disagree.
AS passed by the House, prior to
drafting of the compromise late yes
terday, the bill would have given the
local boards-nominated by the
Governors of the various States
absolute authority to raise rents or
decontrol areas completely.
House Provision Revised.
The compromise revises the House
bill provision which would have
stripped Federal officials of final
authority in rent decisions.
The bill would have the Emer-
gency Court of Appeals, set up orig
inally in the days of OPA, review
cases in which the housing ex-
pediter vetoes recommendations by
local board for rent increases or
removal of all controls in any area.
AS finally drafted after heated
closed session last night, the bill
would require the court to uphold a
local board whose findings were
based on adequate and substantial
evidence
It could uphold the expediter only
if the local boards evidence was
mot of sufficient weight"
Review Would Be Automatic.
The emergency court would be
made up of three or more members
of the Federal bench, to be named
by the Chief Justice of the United
States.
Court review would be automatic
in cases where the housing expediter
rejects a local boards findings.
The local board issue was the
main difference between the rent
control bills passed by Senate and
House.
The House bill would have given
final say on decontrol and rent in
creases to boards named by State
Governors. The present bin gives
the housing expediter veto power
over recommendations by such
boards. The Senate wanted to leave
it that way.
Other Provisions Outlined.
Other provisions of the compro-
mise bill include:
/. Extension of controls through

reduction in automobile insur-

pany.
estate Farm Mutual desires

THIS WEEK AT ZION
GARDENS
BY Fred Richards

The news this week is. a little
on the wintry side with rain,
wind, and every one waiting
for the first snow. The kids are
getting out their sleds already,
so guess we are in for it be-
fore long.
At the Gardens we are bus
lily preparing for Thanksgiving
only two days away. Table
centerpieces are the order of
the day and if your reporter
has slowed down on making
bouquets he will get back in
practice tomorrow. The center
pieces will be made up in con-
tainers and are ready for the
table. Bronze, yellow, orchid
and white Chrysanthemums
will be used in the bouquets,
unless you wish something diff
ferent. Bouquets will be de-
livered until 1900 noon on
Thanksgiving Day. So load
down the table with turkey,
pheasant, (if you're lucky),
cranberry sauce and pumpkin
pie, but save just a little space
in the center for one of our col
orful centerpieces. If you have
not ordered yours yet, do so
now.
I wonder how many of you
read the recent news item in
the Waukegan News-Sun On
the trouble Zion residents are
having getting their nickles in
the parking meters. Those re-
porters must really be on the
job, or was it phoned in? How
ever, there seems to be plenty
of off-the-street parking avail
able and uptown parking lots
are opening up all over the
city. Zion Gardens has no met
ers so we still have plenty Of
parking space for our custom
erS.
To all of our readers from
Zion to California, we wish you
very Happy Thanksgiving.

be to God," and 'Hollyhocks."
Mrs. Sam HARDWOOD, the Vice
President, introduced the Hon.
Minard Hulse, Judge of the
County Court of Lake County,
who gave very enlightening
talk on the activities of his
court. The most interesting
cases to come before him are
the Adoption Cases, of which
there are about one hundred a
year. In the Juvenile Court
there are two types of cases,
dependent and delinquent. In
the first case the children are
not charged with wrong-doing,
but the parents have either de-
serted them or died, and it is
the responsibility of his court
to place the children. In the
case of delinquent children the
cases are entirely different.
Something must be done to ad-
just them to a normal life.
Judge Hulse assured his
hearers that only as a last re-
sort they are sent to a penal
institution. Ministers are Of
ten called in to take the re-
sponsibility, and in other cases
they call on the YMCA, Big
Brother Organization, and the
Boy Scouts. They are not
dealt with as outcasts to socie-
ty, but he tries to fit them back
into society.
These cases are usually trac-
ed to broken homes or home
wher the mother is working.
Judge Hulse enumerated the
following traits which a child
most wants to find in his faith
err and mother: He wants them
to enjoy the things he enjoyes;
to have a sense of humor; &C.
cepts them as they are; do not
try to make them over; parents
who enjoy home life; parents
who give them credit for good
Judgment; parents who say -

over first); they want the
home attractive; parents who
are unselfish and do things for
other children; parents whom
they can be proud of; above
all, they must be made to real
