Foreign Trade Council Asks President
To POSTPONE Conference On Tariff Cuts

Washington, ID. c. OLNS). -
Postponement of the TOrquay con-
ference on tariff cuts was asked
bv unanimous vote of the execu-
tive committee of the National
Labor Management Council on For
eign Trade Policy, meeting here In
special session.
The councils request was made
in adopting a report of .. X.
Strackbein, the councils chairman.
The report, dealing with interna-
tional developments precipitated by
the Korean crisis, urged President
Truman to take steps to postpone
the Torquay conference, in Tor
quay, England in late September
to negotiate further tariff reduc-
tions under the auspices of the
General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade better known as GAIT. 1t
is expected that more than 20 coun-
.ries would attend the conference
if it is held.
Big Trade Changes Seen
Urgently calling the changed
conditions since the Korean out
break to the Presidents attention.
the report said: "The outbreak OF
hostilities in Korea June 25 of this
year precipitated far-reaching mea-
sures of political and military act
ion and set in motion economic
changes the full magnitude and eff
fects Of which are yet visible.
"Great changes in the course OF
international trade are implicit in
the program that has already been
launched in response to the Korean
crisis. Already the dollar-gap ques-
tion has lost it's urgency as one OF
the great problems facing the
world. Quite conceivably the trade
balance of the United States may
be reversed in the course of the
next few years"
In his report to the executive
committee of the council, Chairman
Strackbein said that "convening OF
tariff-cutting conference under
the present circumstances cannot
be justified on any ground other
than the theoretical one that tar
iff- reduction is of itself a desir-
able consummation."
Postponement Held Sound Move
He added that postponement OF
the Torquay conference until the
present international crisis has
passed would permit future consid.
Grafton Of the tariff at a time
when more sound and accurate esti-
mates could be made of the wis
dom Of particular concessions.
The Labor Management Council
was formed earlier this year in re-
sponse to fears felt in both labor
and management circles in some
l5 industries over the rising tide of
imports. The joint council was set
up to prevent the undermining OF
domestic industry by foreign com
petition that derived its principal
advantage from payment of low
wages.
Some 3 months ago, President
Truman, talking cognizance of the
foreign trade problem, particularly
of the persistent "dollar-gap", ap-
pointed Gordon Gray, previously
Secretary of the Army, as a Spec
ial Assistant to study the overall
problem ard report to him by Sept.
|. At that time Gray will return
to his home state of North Caro-
lima to become president of the
University Of North Carolina.

Rent Hikes In New York

declare "last minute" New York

CHICAGO. Aug. 15.-Henry
Ransom never had it so good be-
fore.
He made $11,0O0 yesterday in
polishing off Detroit's Chick Har-
bert by three strokes. 69-72, in a
playoff for the Tam O'Shanter
world" pro golf championship.
Ransom's first prize was a
treasure chest unmatched in golf
history. Harbert's solace was
$4,000. The difference of $4,000
was decided in a four-h hour match
followed by 10000 non-paying
spectators.
Now and then in this unwieldr
crowd, which not only got in free
but saw some Of the most sensa-
tional golf in years, a glimpse
could be had of Mrs. Ransom. She
was with her 20-month-o son,

They wanted to see what
Daddy" was doing the same as

The 39-year-old Ransom, who
winters in Dallas and registers on
the tourney wheel out of the St.

an eagle on the ninth hole and
followed it up with four consecu-

He trimmed 10-foot putt on No.

Yankees and Mats Meet in First Of Those Split
Charles Plans Chance
In Tactics Against
Beshore Tonight
BY the Assoeiossd Press

BUFFALO, N. Y. Aug. 15.-
Ring-rusty but confident. Ezzard
Charles returns to action tonight,
an almost prohibitive favorite to
blast Freddie Beshore out Of his
path to a lucrative crack at Joe
Louis.
Sharp-shooting Ezzard is a l.
to-5 favorite or better to belt the
daylights out of Beshore and hold
on to his NBA heavyweight cham
pionship. The 15-round title fight
starts at 10 pm. (EDT) in Memo
rial Auditorium. There will be
no televiSion or radio broadcast.
Plans Changed Tactics.
Sidelined by a rib and heart in
jury for almost six months, the
29-year old champion from Gin
cinnati aims to renew his ring
campaign in a different role.
Hitherto an efficient but cautious
performer, Charles plans to turn
tiger" tonight and gun for an
eye-catching and quick kayo.
A spectacular job against the
26-year-old challenger from Har-
risburg, Pa. will bolster Charles
box Office appeal for Louis come
back bout against him. The In
ternational Boxing Club wants to
match the two In Yankee Stadium
September q.
The prospect Of a one-sided bat
tie, plus two postponements caused
by Charles injury, has hurt the
ticket sale. Promoter Dewey
Michaels is looking for crowd
of around 10000 and a gate Of
lover 100000" He hopes the fact
the bout will not be televised or
broadcast may bring on a late
rush for tickets.
Charles, who is expected to
fight at 184 pounds. is down to
receive 40 per cent of the net
gate while Beshore will collect
1712. The challenger weighs 186.
Could Cause Trouble.
Of his record. Beshore (26-6
and l draw doesn't seem to rate
with Charles (66-5 and / draw
but the former COB has bobbing
and weaving style that could cause
Charles some trouble. Freddie is
strictly a forward moving body
puncher and that's the kind of an
opponent that has bothered the
champion most.
IF Freddie can get past the
first eight rounds then you may
see the biggest heavyweight up
set since Jim Braddock took
Make Baer," said Ralph Gold,
BeShore's manager.
We're going to belt him out"
was the prediction of Jake Mintz,
Charles voluble manager. "Ezzy
knows the spot he's in. He knows
he needs to win sensational to get
the big chips with Louis. He's
mean and ready"
