Soviet Propaganda Thrust
Seen in Formoso Choroes

TAIPEI, Formosa, Aug. 25. (P).
Chinese Nationalists looked on
Red China's charges of American
armed aggression" in Formosa
today as a double-edged Soviet
propaganda weapon.
They interpreted the attack by
Peiping's Premier Foreign Min
lister Chou En-lai as:
l. The opening of a phase of
the new-angled propaganda cam
paign against the United States.
2. An answer to Nationalist
China's continuing charges of
Soviet aggression in China.
1t is also regarded as an added
means to confuse the Korean issue
before the U. N.
Chou sent his complaint to the
United Nations Security Council
two days after the Nationalist
cabinet named a f1ve-man dele
cation headed by Foreign Minister
George Yen to press charges OF
Soviet aggression before the U. N
Assembly opening in New York
September 10.
The Red counter-charge of
American aggression in Nationalist
China (Formosa) fits the Soviet
pattern Of answering criticism by
attacking the accuser. It could
furnish endless ammunition for
the Soviet bloc in debates before
the 59-nation Assembly.

son Of Britain's wartime Prime

turned to Tokyo today after being
wounded slightly in Korea.
Frank Emery, an American

On Bill 10 Give Truman
Control Authority
By Cecil Holland

Senate and House conferees to-
day pushed a compromise settle
ment on a homefront mobilization
bill along lines desired by Presi-
dent Truman.
The committee began its work
yesterday afternoon and admin
istration forces won a victory by
deleting a section of the bill
which would have by-passed
President Truman and turned al
location powers directly over to
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
Senators Maybank of South
Carolina and Sparkman of Ala
bama, both Democrats, predicted
the conference members would
also delete another section op-
posed by President Truman.
Bricker Pledges Fight.
This is a Senate-approved pro-
vision that would require the
President to impose wage ano
price controls simultaneously and
virtually on everything if he in
voked them at all. The provision
was sponsored by Senators
Bricker of Ohio and Wherry OF
Nebraska, Republicans, and Sen
ator Bricker promised a Senate
fight to keep the section in the
bill.
Both Senate and House ap-
proval will be required for the
compromise version worked out
by the conference. The Bricker-
Wherry amendment was adopted
in the Senate by a vote of At
to AZ.
The section giving full alloca-
ton powers to the Commerce De-
partment was sponsored by Sen
ator johnson. Democrat, of Colo
RADIO. The conferees adopted the
House provision giving the Presi-
dent full discretion to operate the
program as he wishes and dele
gate functions to different agen-
cies.
Market Provision Deleted.
The conference members also
deleted Senate-approved section
calling for elf-policing of specu-
lation by commodity exchanges.
There was no such section in the
House measure and Senator
Sparkman said the Senate pro-
vision was dropped since the
House had voted three times
against any curbs on commodity
operations.
The conferees worked late at
night and scheduled another
meeting today in an effort to
settle other differences. There
were about 200 differences in the
