BY the Associated Press

Gen. Omar N. Bradley yesterday
pictured a big Russian army as
able to double and almost triple
its combat divisions within
months, Senators said, as he urged
passage of the arms-for r. Europe
appropriation.
Gen. Bradley, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, was report
ed by Senate Appropriations COM
mitteemen to have told them that:
Russia now has ITS combat d.
visions in readiness.
She could put 300 divisions into
combat within 60 days.
The Soviet could step up its
military power to 500 divisions in
matter of months.
Gen. Bradley testified behind
closed doors to the committee on
the sl,314.010,000 foreign arms ap-
preparation bill which the House
passed Friday by voice vote. One
billion dollars of the money is for
the opening phase of rearming

Communist aggression.
The balance will be used to fur

at the Presidents discretion.
The Senate was expected to lose
little time in approving the ap-
preparation after it's expected

Senate Recommits DIP Bill $500;
Conferees' Accord for Farm Price
Props at 900 Of Parity Blows Up
Lack Of Agreement
May Endonger
Plans to Adjourn
BY the Associated Press

oJ ''e NssoSidicu rfcSS
A tentative agreement on bit
terly-contested farm price legis-
lation blew up last night.
Senate and House members of
a conference committee were
right back where they started.
They came out of a long session
apparently in complete disagree
ment over a fundamental section
of their conflicting bills.
The basic dispute the bills pre-
sented was:
Shall the Government continue
to support at 80 per cent of parity
all major crops. provided they are
under maximum Government reg
ulation?
Or would sliding scale of sup
ports from IS to 80 per cent be
better?
New Attempt To Be Made.
A morning meeting brought
agreement on 80 per cent plan,
by vote of II to 3.
| At nightfall. the IA conferees
threw aside this agreement and
adjourned until tomorrow to
start a new attempt to patch up
farm price support measure.
Plans to close out Congress this
/ -reek for the year might be en-
! dangered by this latest develop
ment.
Chairman Cooley of the House
Agriculture Committee and his
House colleagues. who earlier had
forecast a final compromise at
yesterday afternoons session, said
when they left:
| I'VE may not be able to reach
any agreement at all now"
Lucas and Anderson Switch.
| Other conferees said a switch
by Senate Majority Leader Lucas
and Senator Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico, scuttled the COM
promise. Both had voted earlier
in the day for support payments
at 80 per cent of parity when
maximum controls were applied.
Senator Ellender, Democrat of
Louisiana, one Of the conferees,
said there still was a chance for
later agreement.
The scrapped agreement would
have ordered supports at 80 per
cent of parity for cotton, wheat,
corn. tobacco. rice and peanuts
whenever farmers submitted to the
maximum cuts the law provides in
planting, and also approved mar
keting quotas.
Parity is price figured to give
farmers a fair exchange when
they sell their crops and buy
things at the store.
Senator Lucas refused to discuss
any OF the conference actions

Committee Told =
To Bring Measure
Back in January
By ]. A. O'leaN

The Senate last night put the
bill to liberalize the displaced per-
sons law on a committee shelf
until January, as Congress made
plans to adjourn this week.
The administration lost its fight
to add the refugee bill to the hist
of this sessions accomplishments
when the opposition succeeded in
recommitting it to the Judiciary
Committee. So to 80. Democrats
and Republicans both were split
sharply on the question.
Seventeen Democrats joined
with 10 Republicans to recommit
the bill. while 16 Democrats and
IA Republicans sought to keep
the bill before the Senate by
voting against recommittal.
Taft Flies Back to Vote.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio. was in Marietta, Ohio, at
S o'clock yesterday afternoon, but
flew back to Washington in time
to cast his vote when the roll
was called at pm. He voted
with supporters of the bill by OPP
posing recommittal.
The recommittal motion direct
ed the judiciary Committee to re-
port the measure back to the
Senate by January Is. This would
be three weeks after the next
session starts.
Senator Myers of Pennsylvania,
the assistant Democratic leader,
said the vote for recommittal did
not represent the Senate senti-
ment on the bill itself.
He explained that many Sena-
tors who favor it were willing to
put of showdown until January
to prevent delay in adjournment
Of Congress. He predicted passage
of the measure then by a big
majority.
"Must" Bills Still Pending.
Recommittal of the bill left the
following list of must" measures
awaiting final action in both
houses before the legislators can
head homeward Wednesday or
Thursday after being in session
nearly 10 months.
i. Action by both houses on
farm bill, on which House and
Senate conferees are still in dis
agreement.
2. The $14,s44, 000, 900 National
defense appropriation bill, still
deadlocked by the fight between
House and Senate over whether
the Air Force should have 48 or
So air groups.
3. A last supplemental appro-
priation bill, carrying the $1,314,-
100000 fund for military aid to
Western Europe, and other CO.
operating areas. This bill con-
tains other last-minute miscel-
laneous items. 1t has passed the
House, and probably will be re-
ported to the Senate Tuesday.
4. Action by both houses on con-
ference reports granting pay in
creases in the classified civil serv-
ice and postal employees.
- S. Action by both houses on
conference agreement, raising the
minimum wage law from 40 to
IS cents an hour. The House
will act on this Tuesday.
s. Senate action on the confer
ence report on the bill to legalize
the basing- point pricing system in
the absence of conspiracy to les
sen competition.
Other Issues Postponed.

No Word of Resistance.
There was no word of any Ma

Canton, a city of more than l.
100000 population. So peaceful
was the occupation that Red civil

Scientist:Tri Will Study Arctic Grasses

A party of three scientists. among them Dr. Herbert Han- son, former manager of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Cor poration, will visit Alaska this summer to study the geology of the Territory's graSSlands, it was announced this week by Don L. Irwin, head of the Agricultural Research Administration here.
 Dr. Hanson will be accom- panied by Capt E. D. Churchill of the U. s. Air Force and by Father Ernest LePage, authority on Arctic and sub-Arctic plant life. The men have been given a grant in aid by the Arctic Insti- tute of North America, and they will spend three months in the Territory.
 Their study will be concerned with an investigation of why certain grasses grow in some Arctic regions and not in others, and will seek to determine the relation of plant composition to soil profile.
 The trio will do field work at Homer, on Kodiak Island, in the Matanuska Valley, the Talkeetna Mountains, the Healy Ignite dis trict and at Big Delta.
 They expect to be in Fairbanks about June 10, and will be in the Matanuska Valley sometime near mid-June.
 pr, Hanson is now in charge of geology instruction at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D. c.

Broken Bones, Babies Hospitolize Lorsons

There was double trouble, in more ways than one, at the Lar son home in the Valley this week. It all began when Mrs. Fred Lar son Stumbled over a rut and broke a small bone in her leg. She was hospitalized for a time, then sent home in cast.
 After being home for only a few days, Mrs. Larson found her. self right back in the hospital again, with the very same con- plalnt, different leg. She'd hur- rled to help a grandchild in trouble, had been unable to man. age her cast completely, and fell. breaking another bone in the other leg.
 Now back at the Valley Hospi- tal Tn two casts, Mrs. Larson is oelng condoled by her daughter ln-laW, Mrs. Lawrence Larson. lylng only a few beds away. Mrs. Lawrence Larson was confined to the hospital last week, where she gave birth to a son on April 30.

Rules Outlined For Hiwoy Signs

There are legal loopholes which will permit the posting of signs along Alaskan highways, forbid den by act of the recent Iegisla- ture, it was announced last week by John R. Moves, Alaskan com missioner of roads. Permits for the erection of advertising signs, forbidden along any road under the control of the Alaska Road Commission, can be obtained from either the ARC or the Dis trict Engineer.
 Exceptions to the law permit signs which advertise highway service facilities. Anyone con- sldered exempt from the law will be permitted to raise three signs one in either direction along the highway on which the serv- ice is located, and a double faced sign at the site of the service.
 Signs cannot be larger than nine feet square, and cannot be more than seven feet high. Signs may advertise only the type of service offered, and the distance from the sign to the place it ad- vertises.
 Clyde King, ARC foreman for this district, said this week that he had no information, at pres ent, regarding the issuance of permits. He thought it possible that the required permits might be applied for in Anchorage. He expects definite announcement to be made in a few days, since MT. Moves is now inspecting roads in this area and is in An chorage for conferences with ARC heads there.
