BERKELEY, Calf, June H.
In a blistering indictment, Presi-
dent Truman today demanded
IAN end to Soviet obstruction
and aggression" to ease the fears
of a troubled world.
Speaking at the commencement
exercises of the University of Cali
fornia, where he received an
honorary degree, the President
spelled out the story of Russian
1ntransigeance, and said fatty that
there is no room for negotiation"
of differences that this policy has
bred.
The Presidents address, broadcast
by four networks, was delivered IN
California Memorial Stadium to a
crowd estimated at around 10000.
including $500 young men and
women who received their degrees.
a record number. The stadium seats
IS 900.
There are certain types Of dis
putes in international affairs which
can and must be settled by nego-
tiation and agreement" he said
But there are others which are
not susceptible to negotiation.
Nothing to Negotiate"
There is nothing to negotiate
when one nation disregards the
principles of international conduct
to which all members of the United
Nations have subscribed. There is
nothing to negotiate when one ma
ton habitually uses coericon or open
aggression in international affairs.
What the world needs in order
10 regain a sense of security is an
end to Soviet obstruction and
aggression"
Honest negotiations looking to-
ward genuine settlements" always
are in order, the President said, but
"the door is not open, however, for
deals between great powers to the
detriment of other nations or at
the expense of principle
This country, Mr.. Truman said,
is interested in peace, not propa-

Truman Vetoes Bill
To Permit Railroads
To Join in Rate Fixing
Sees Serious Mistake;
Reed May Ask Senate
This Week to Override
By the Associated Press

President Truman yesterday
refused to sign a bill to let rail-
roads and other carriers get to-
gether on fixing rates with In
terstate Commerce Commission
approval.
The President slapped a veto on
it. in line with his opposition to pre-
vious similar legislation. The mea-
sure. known as the Bulwinkle Bill
would have exempted the carriers
from antitrust prosecution Tor
making such rate arrangements.
Senator Reed, Republican, OF Kan
sas. said he may ask the Senate
Tuesday or Wednesday to try to
override the veto.
Mr.. Truman said in formal
message that by sanctioning rate
control by groups of carriers, this
legislation would represent a de-
parture from the present transpor-
tation policy of regulated compe-
tition. This, I believe, would be
a serious mistake, with far-reach-
ing effects on our economy
The Association of American
Railroads Immediately deplored the
Presidents action.
William T. Farley, president OF the
AAR. said in statement it is re-
grettable that Mr.. Truman 'has put
himself in opposition to the virtual
ly unanimous views of shippers. OF
farm organizations, and Of the public
bodies which regulate transporta-
ton"
Mr.. Farley added that the bill has
been "persistently misunderstood.
During the congressional debate
advocates argued that the agree
ments between carriers are vital to
their orderly operation and that
chaos would result if the legislation
sanctioning the agreements plan did
not become effective.
Opponents claimed the railroads
are trying to eliminate competition
and that big shippers would be
favored over small ones.
Although the Interstate Commerce
Commission approved the legislation
the Justice Department has opposed
it.
The bill went through the House
by 272 to SO vote, and was adopted
by the Senate on voice vote.

Truman Asks Courts
To Block Ship Strike,
Blamed on Labor Act
Toft-HortIey Law Created
Hiring Hall Dispute,
Inquiry Boord Says
By the Associated Press

President Truman yesterday
ordered court action to block an
all-coast maritime strike set for
Tuesday.
His decision was announced after
the White House made public an
inquiry boards report blaming the
Taft Hartley Act for the dispute.
The main argument is over methods
of hiring.
The Justice Department, following
the Presidents instructions, will
seek an 80-day injunction some
time before Tuesday to keep seven
unions of seamen and dock workers
from striking in Pacific, Atlantic
Great Lakes and Gulf ports when
their contracts expire.
Mr.. Truman acted under the
National emergency" provision OF
the Taft-Hartley law. His decision
was announced in Berkeley, Calf.

Lewis Hints Terms

By james Y. Newton

John L. Lewis yesterday talked
about a new industry contract
for the first time in a full week
of negotiations here with soft
coal operators, but the mine
owners were not encouraged by
what he said.
Mr.. Lewis discussed new contract
terms in a very general way with

4 Major Issues
beforeQuitting
Taft and Martin See
Chance to End Session
June 1o as Planned
HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE May
Act on Draft Tomorrow. Page AS.
By J. A. O'Eeory

House and Senate leaders
faced four big hurdles and many
smaller ones last night as they
prepared for a home-stretch ad-
journment drive this week.
The major jumps they still must
take are:
Revival of the draft and disposal
of the Taft -Ellender- Wagner hous-
ing bill, which awaits House action
after passing the Senate.
Extension of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreement Act and the fight to re-
store House cuts in the foreign aid
appropriation, which hold the CEN
ter of the stage in the Senate after
House action earlier this month.
Comment on Adjournment.
Chairman Taft of the Senate Re-
publican Policy Committee and
House Speaker Martin were cautious
in their predictions about adjourn
ment after going over the situation
yesterday, but both were hopeful.
AS to the outlook for final adjourn
ment June 10, their comments were
Senator Taft-"It's reasonably
possible
Speaker Martin-"We have a fair
chance"
Senator Taft took as an encourag-
ing sign the fact that both sides in
the Senate readily agreed yesterday
to vote at pm. tomorrow on the
one-year extension of the Reciprocal
Trade Act, which expired last night.
But if the gavels are to fall next
Saturday, a sizeable list of unfin-
ished business will be left, probably
for the new Congress to revive.
Price-Support Bill Passed.
Although there was no talk yes
terday of returning after the poll
tical conventions for a summer ses-
sion, Speaker Martin told reporters
he still wants the adjournment
resolution to confer on congressional
leaders the option of calling the
House and Senate back to Washing
ton >at any time before the new Con-
gress meets in January, if they
think it necessary.
The House voted yesterday for an
18-month extension of the farm
parity price-support program on
basic commodities, which otherwise
would expire December 81.
The Senate will take up a more
comprehensive farm program late
tomorrow or Tuesday, and try to
work out an agreement with the
House.
Most of the Senate's time this
week will have to be devoted to pas
sage of the foreign aid and remain
ing departmental appropriation bills
which always reach the Senate late
in the session because money bills
originate in the House.
Other Bills Await Action.
Other important subjects that will
have to struggle for attention if
this is to be the wind.up week are
the proposed general raise for Fed
eral employees, the House-approved
repeal of the oleo tax, and the bill
to extend the terms of the five men,
bers of the Atomic Energy Commits
sion for two years, to avoid confirm
ing Chairman David E. Lilienthal
for a five-year re-appointment.
The only chance for the oleo tax
repeater would appear to lie in ar
effort to attach it to some other
measure majority of the Senate
wants passed. Such a move nigh.
touch off a long debate.
The bill to draft men 10 through
Is for two years is still stymied in
the closely divided House Rules
Committee, but leaders hope to pry
it loose early this week.

TEACHER DIES
IN LAKE WATERS
North Bass Teacher Walks
Into Lake: Nervous Illness
Blamed

No substitute has as yet been
named for Miss Ruth Lichtenber-
ger, 81, teacher at North Bass
island, who was drowned in Lake
Erie Thursday evening.
County School Superintendent
A. Q. Dehn's staff stated that there
are II students in the one-room
grade school formerly taught by
Miss Lchtenberger. Students will
be given their final exams later
this month, with special arrange
ments being planned.
Coroner George Poe ruled that
Miss Lichtenberger's death was
suicide. Ill health following a
nervous breakdown, the teacher had
evidently waded into Lake Erie
near the boat dock.
A group of men from the
North Bass Club heard a scream,
and noticed the teacher in the wa
ter. The fishermen ran nearly 1000
feet to the end Of the boat dock
to reach her. When pulled from
the water, Miss Lichtenberger was
still alive, although limp.
Simon Fox, who saw the woman
IN the water, went in fish boat
from North Bass to Middle Bass
where he telephoned to Putin Bay
|. for help. The island physician
DR.. Roy Evans, responded from
Put-in-Bay and applied an inhala,
| tor but efforts to revive the
teacher were futile.
Miss Lichtenberger had beer
teaching at North Bass since No.
vember, 1916. The body was
