West Hands Russians
Plans for RESTORING
4-Power Berlin Rule
Proposals Are Submitted
In Shortest Meeting Of
l0-Doy-OId Session
~ the Assoeiotsd Press

PARIS, June 2.-The West
handed Russia today its plan fol
restoring four-power control In
Berlin.
A French informant said the
American, British and French
terms were placed before the So
Wet Union in a Commute meet
ing of the Foreign Ministers Coun-
Gil, the shortest of this Today
old session.
The ministers will meet again
tomorrow in a secret session
presumably to get down to busi-
ness on the opposing plan Of the
East and West for Berlin. They
are agreed thus far only in prin-
ciple that the divided German
city should be reunited under
single governing body.
Split on Veto Power.
Yesterday they split on q West
ern proposal to limit exercise OF
the veto power in the four-power
body. Today the Western minis
ters weighed a vague Soviet hint
that the Russians might agree to
trim the Kommandatura's area
of authority.
Western representatives at the
Foreign Ministers Conference
spearheaded by Secretary Of State
Acheson - insisted firmly on
modification of the old rule that
all decisions of the Kommanda-
tura must be by unanimous
agreement. This rule. in effect,
armed each of the four members
with veto power.
Mr.. Acheson, British Foreign
Secretary Bevin and French For
eign Minister Schuman urged that
unanimity be required only for
major issues. They proposed that
majority rule be adopted for Sec
ondary decisions.
Russian Foreign Minister Wish
|insky insisted that the Kom-
mandatura retain unanimity rule
At yesterdays meeting, however,
according to French sources. Mr.
Vishinsky said the Kommanda-
tura's functions might be re-
examined.
May Lose Some Authority.
His statement was interpreted
to mean that some authority
might be withdrawn from the
Kommandatura and delegated to
local German administration. 1t
followed Mr.. Acheson's statement
that he saw no reason why such
things as garbage collection. water
supply and street cleaning should
become matters of international
debate.
A clash between Mr.. Acheson
and Mr.. Vishinsky developed yes
terday when the Soviet Minister
declared the Western powers were
in Berlin only because Of inter-
national agreement at Potsdam.
Mr.. Acheson declared that in
the Vests view, the Americans.
British and French were in Berlin
because their armies had partici-
pated in a joint victory over the
Nazis.

Mr.. Lilienthal and his general

the procedure as q valid exercise

serted it is neither arbitrary nor

Other high lights today were:
Representative Elston. Repub-
lican, of Ohio brought out testi-
mony from Carroll Wilson. gen.
eral manager Of Acc. that an un-
named employe at the Argonne
National Laboratory at the Uni
versity of Chicago did not dis
close on his QUESTIONABLE when
he sought employment that he
had been arrested several times,
once for grand larceny. He said
the employe was not convicted on
any of the charges. It was at the
Chicago laboratory that guam
tity of uranium was lost early
this year.
Mr.. Wilson said the employe,
who is employed by the university
as a contractor for the commits
sion, has been transferred to diff
ferent duties, but no further ac-
ton has been taken because the
whole matter is still under FBI
investigation.
Questions Senator's Figures.
2. Representative Jackson, DEM
ocrat, of Washington got from Mr.
Lilienthal a statement that the
commission would not have been
able to produce the number OF
atomic bombs this country has
today without the emergency
clearance system for employees OBJ
jected to by Senator Hickenlooper.
Senator Hickenlooper heatedly
broke in to say. Il completely dis
agree with that statement"
3. Mr.. Lilienthal told the COM
mittee that Senator Hickenlooper
was too high in yesterdays calcu-
lation that Acc had a turnover
of 81 per cent in personnel in the
two years of its existence. He
said the Senator's arithmetic was

1900 Laborers Strike
Adding 10 Showdown
OF Carpenters Tieup
D. c. Council Approves
WuIkout in StoIemote
Over 15-Cent Increase

A new strike, which took a
union estimated 5000 laborers of
their jobs at 7 am. today. applied
more brakes to Washington 8
500, 600. 900 construction program
already slowed by a walkout OF
5000 carpenters yesterday.
No prospects Of a settlement OF
the carpenters dispute with the
Master Builders Association ap-
peared today. No meeting had been
scheduled with Federal Conciliator
James Holden. Basis Of the con-
troversy is the union demand for
a 10-cent hourly increase.
Henry Thomas. president of the
AFL Laborers' Local "a. announced
that members Of his union did not
report for work today following
authorization of the strike by the
District Council last night. He said
the union and the Master Build
ers are stalemated over a request
for an additional Is cents an hour.
The laborers' contract expired
April 80. he said, and the Federal
Cancellation Service has had the
dispute for almost a month.
Builders Deny Mass Settlement.
The first estimate by the union
earlier in the day said the total
number OF the job was 1000
Later. more workers left their jobs
the union said.
Carpenter union officials claimed
"at least rs members" of the
Master Builders have signed to new
wage terms with the union and
that in those cases the carpenters
have returned to work. The Build
ers' Association. however. denied
this, claiming that at least 95 per
cent of their members were stand
ing firm.
Some Work Stopped Completely.
The general strike picture saw
some firms hating work COM
pletely and others continuing as
long as other trades such as
plumbers, masons. sheet metal
workers and steamfitters remain
on the job. One observer esti-
mated the end of the week would
see $4,000 more construction en-
ployes idle.
