jointing stage under certain central
Montana conditions, according to a
report by James L. Krall, assistant
agronomist, Central Montana Branch
station, Moccasin. The report on
SCATTERING appeared in the Deem

Other conclusions were that the

2,4-D treatments than other varieties

percentage of head abnormalities
and shattering was also evident.
Tests on Varieties
This test was conducted in 1948
at the Moccasin station. Four va
rieties of winter wheat, Karmont,
Newturk, Yogo and Wasatch, were
used in the test plots. The seed
was sown in the fall of 1947. All
tests were on weed-free basis,
meaning that weeds were kept out
of both test plots and check plots
by hand rogueing.
A formulation of A percent iso-
propyl ester of 2,4-D was applied at
an acid equivalent rate of O, 1/3, 2/3,
l, and rs pounds per acre. The treat
ments were made at two different
stages of growth. The first was an
early application on April 90, when
the winter wheat was to inches
tall and in the early jointing stage.
The second was a later application
on June 10 when the wheat was 10
to IL inches high to tip of growing
point above soil level and in the boot
stage.

Clarified by Riders
By Miriom ottenberq

A Senate : passed bill curbing
the interstate Shipment of slot
machines was approved today by
the House Interstate Commerce
Committee.
In reporting the bill favorably,
after months of debate, the COM
mittee amended the measure to
spell out just what it means by
gambling devices.
Amendments also frightened the
penalties to provide for a fine of
up to $4,000 or imprisonment up
to two years. or both, for viola
tions.
AS passed by the Senate, the
measure would have made it un-
lawful for any one knowingly to
receive or dispose of effective
gambling devices. The House
committee amendment, however
simply made it unlawful knowing
ly to transport a gambling device
to a State, the District of Colum-
bia or a territory and omitted the
receiving end.
The bill, urged by the Justice
Department. would permit trans
portation of gambling devices to
a State where slot machines are
legal. A House amendment also
exempts transportation of slot
machines through other States for
delivery to a State which permits
slot machines to operate.
The House committee measure
requires manufacturers and deal
ers Of gambling devices to register
with the Justice Department rath-
er than with the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue as the Senate
measure provides.

bling devices obviously was in

BY the Assoeiated Press

A labor industry agriculture
committee was reported in the
making today. to consult with the
Government on war mobilization.
The committee would discuss
such policy questions as price and
wage controls with w. Stuart
Symington, chairman of the Ma
tional Security Resources Board,
who directs the drive to get the
home front ready for war.
No Symington Comment.
Mr.. Symington's Office would
not comment on the report. But
elsewhere it was learned that he
has begun sounding out the big
organizations of labor, industry
and agriculture.
Organized labor has tentatively
agreed upon the names of three
persons to submit as labor repre-
sentatives: William Green of the
AFL, Philip Murray of the CIO
and AL Hayes of the international
Association of Machinists.
In addition, Mr.. Symington has
invited the unions to choose some
one to serve as full-time official
in the NSRB. There was a pos
Sibility he would choose two peo-
ple-an AFL man and a CIO
man.
Concerning this, Mr.. Syming-
ton was expected to make an an

meeting with a temporary COM
mittee of nine labor leaders.

1t was this temporary commit
tee that tentatively chose Mr..
Green, Mr.. Murray and Mr.. Hayes
to consult with Mr.; Symington
on policy.
The temporary committee is
composed of three AFL men. three
CIO men, and one each from the
machinists, United Mine Workers
and railroad unions. It is not a
policy-consulting committee, and
so far it has talked with Mr..
Symington mainly about the best
ways to give representation to
labor on agencies that will be
involved in war mobilization.

Truman Bars A-Bomb Use Now
President Still
ReverentIy Hopes
For World Peace

President Truman said today
he is not now considering use OF
the atomic bomb in the Korean
war.
Mr.. Truman made this state
ment at news conference after
a reporter remarked that the
President once said he would not
hesitate to use the atom bomb
again if it became necessary to
assure world peace.
He said he still hopes reverently
for world peace, but he advised
the Nation to wait for a few more
developments before coming to
any conclusion about the pros
poets for peace.
He was reminded that a few
weeks ago-before the North Ko-
rean Communist invasion of South
Korea-that he had said the out
look for world peace was better
than it had been since 1945. and
was asked what he thought now.
Mr.. Truman replied that il
would be better to wait for a few
more developments before coming
to any conclusion on that sub
ject.
Waits Further Information.
At another point, he said he
thought he had better wait for
further information before max
ing any statements on the peace
outlook.
In view of the present situation,
he told questioners, he does not
think there is any possibility OF
his getting out of Washington
anytime soon. He said he planned
to stay here on the job.
In response to other questions
Mr.. Truman said the Government
is much further along with civilian
defense planning than anybody
knows about. He added that some
time he would tell the country
about these plans. but not now.
The planning for civilian de-
fense. he said. has been going on
all the time and he considers it
most important.
Cites Bill of Rights.
Asked about congressional pro-
posals for new legislation to con-
troll aliens and Subversives, the
President said he wanted to be
very careful in times like these
not to get into anything like the
alien and sedition laws of 1893.
The Bill of Rights. he declared
is still a very important part OF
the Constitution. He added that
this does not mean that we are
going to overlook any opportuni-
ties to see that traitors and sab
oteurs are taken care of.
The President had no comment
on the present situation in Korea
or about suggestions from some
quarters for arming West Ger
many and Japan.
His remark that he saw no pos
sibility of getting out of Washing
ton any time soon came in re-
sponse to questions about attend
ing some functions in Missouri
and voting in the primary there
He said he had just voted in
the Missouri primary by absentee
ballot. He added with laugh
that he had voted the Democratic
ticket but could not say who he
had voted for because it was a
