'AFL Says Farm Bloc,
Business Are Teamed
In Fight on Controls
BY the AssouaIed press

MONTRE EAL, Aug. g. The
American Federation of Labor
executive council last night ac-
cused the farm bloc of teaming
up with big business to defeat ef-
fective anti-inf1ahon controls in
the United State Congress.
In a statement released during
a meeting here, the council said
the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton and the National Grange
showed little major difference
from the stand of the National
Association of Manufacturers and
the United States Chamber of
Commerce.
Also Hostile to Unions.
I'VE unreservedly condemn this
short-sighted policy" said the
statement, which will hurt all
consumers, force reductions in liv-
ing standards and eventually
boomerang against the farmers
themselves"
The council also said it was un-
fortunate that most of the agri-
cultural organizations in America
have adopted and followed a pol
icy OF hostility to the trade union
movement during recent years"
The statement said the council
is convinced that these policies do
not reflect the wishes of the great
mass of individual farmers in the
United States, but is being die
tated by the big corporate farms
closely allied with big business in
tereSts."
To Study Farm Labor.
The statement said American
farmers have not forgotten how
they were driven to the edge of
bankruptcy only a generation ago
by imitation and the manipulation
Of Wall Street f1nanciers.
The executive council author
lied the setting up of a committee
to study conditions of farm labor
erS, the extent to which corporate
farms influence the policy of farm
organizations. the effect on the
national economy of floors for
farm prices without ceilings and
the real source of the drive in
agricultural States for an anti
labor and anti-liberal legislation.

IRAN CALLS
 BIG BLUFF
 OF BRITISH

TERRAIN, Iran, July 10, = R = A sharp switch in British tactics in the Iranian oil dispute became in creasingly clear today.
 There's surprising move to soft pedal previous threats to withdraw all British technicians from Iran and ''let the Persians stew in their own oil" A new policy of trying to hang on as long as possible-in the face of naturalization of holdings of the British-owned Anglo -Iranian Oil Company = is replacing the tough talk of only a week ago that the big refinery at Ahadan and the surrounding south Iranian oil fields would be shut down.
 One Iranian official, commenting on the new developments, declared:
 We've always said the British were bluffing. It looks as though Premier (Mohammed) Mossadegh's no compromise stand is working" :"
 There was no indication that Mossadegh would change that mo compromise" determination to seize control of the billion-dollar com pany's Iranian installations. But a government spokesman said the Premier is giving careful consider ation to President Truman's offer yesterday to send his personal rep w. Averell Hartman, to Iran to help find a settlement.

NEW BERLIN CRISIS NOW
 POSSIBILITY

MOSCOW. July 10 -tB- Diplo- matic observers stationed here are predicting new crises in western Soviet relations possibly new Berlin crisis - over the vests moves on the German and Japanese ques- tions.
 Some observers here said that II the Western powers follow up the action ending their state of war with Germany by moving toward sep arate German treaty, they may make their position in Berlin most difficult, if not untenable. (The ob- servers are not identified in this dispatch. which was subject to the usual Russian censorship.
 They add there is almost sure to be some way in which the tSoviets could retailiate for actions they are certain to denounce as violations of international understandings
 AS for the Western plans for a peace treaty with Japan, Moscow newspapers are saying that the Chi nese people - meaning the Chinese Communist government-will never permit the resurrection of Japan- csc militarism." They are charging that the move toward a Jananese treaty is part of plan to remilitarize Japan.

 MANHATTAN pR0J.

DARIEN, Conn, July 10 --IRr- Lieut.. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, USA CRet.) contends that America should make determined effort to learn Russia's secrets.
 He says cookie pushers' in an understaffed State Department" aren't enough to do the job.
 The wartime head of the Man haitian Project. which developed the atomic bomb. told an interviewer at his home here:
 We should take immediate steps to infiltrate Russia by establish ing courses of study in the Russian tongue and customs. It is impossible for any nation to maintain complete secrecy on diplomatic or military strategy, and we have not made any real attempt to pierce Russia g secrets"
 Groves was caustic in his com ments on American Foreign Policy toward the close of World War II and in the post-war period.

Alaska 'Hardships'
 Imposed by Air Board '5hcuid be Relieved
By FRANK W. VAILLE

WASHINGTON, July 10 -tPi- The Senate Small Business com mittee said yesterday the Civil Aeronautics Board should act promptly to relieve the hardships it is imposing on Alaska through it's restrictions of flights from the con tinental United States"
 "The board should recognize the special need for cargo transportation to Alaska and the lack of alterna- tive forms of lOw-cost passenger service" the committee added.
 Second Recommendation
 The recommendation was the sec ond by a Senate committee within six months to the CAB to ease it's policies governing aviation in the Territory
 In February an Armed Service subcommittee urged the CAB to re- lax it's regulations sufficiently to encourage the development of avia- ton in Alaska
 The latest report dealt with the ef- feet of CAB rule on the lines which fly on an irregular or non-sched- 'uled basis. They are known as non skeds." The CAB regulation re- stricts non-skeds to three round trip flights per month over major traffic segments and eight round trip flights between all other points.
 The committee, headed by Sena- tor Sparkman (D-Ala). saic it was "aIarmed'f by the testimony of AIaska's Governor Ernest Gruening.
 Labels CAB Bureaucracy
 The governor described the CAB as "an absentee bureaucracy :. twhich) has greatly retarded the normal development of Alaska Its policies, he said, had been "disas- trous ... (and) diame!rical'y Op- posed t. the policies" of President Truman.
 As evidence of the importance of non-skcds to Alaska. the committee cited testimony by one witness that such Ct rriers had reduced the cost of air freight to Alaska from 68 cents a. psaind to .19 cents. Fruits, vegetables and produce previously in short supply are transported 3r quantities by the non-skeds.
 The Public Health Service was quoted as having credited this de- with wiping out scurvy in Alaska" the report added.

STATE DEPT. CUT
 IN FUNDS DOESN'T
 HIT ACKES0N'5 PAY

WASHINGTON, July 10, - R - The House Appropriations Commit tee recommended today an Is per cent cut in this years funds for the State Department, but aimed none of the reduction directly at Secretary Acheson.
 Republicans seeking to force Acheson's custer withheld their fire until the bill financing his depart ment reaches the House floor, prob ably early next week.
 They did not offer in the com mittee a proposal to prohibit the use of any department funds to pay Acheson's salary during the fiscal year which started July l. Such ban probably will be offered during House debate, and Demo cratic leaders have conceded the vote will be close.
 The committee recommended that the State Department be gwen s231 ,432 900 of the S283, 6,4io President Truman requested. That would be a cut of s52,254.4 .476.
 This was a smaller percentage reduction than the committee ap- piled to the 1852 budget of the Commerce Department, whose funds, along with those of the Jus tice Department and the Judlclafy' are carried in the same Dill.

 Iron Triangle

U. s. 9th ARMY HEADQUAR- TIERS, KOREA. July 10. = tR - Small groups of Reds today infil- trated the old Chorwon-Kumhwa- Pyonggang Iron triangle on the west-central front.
 Intelligence officers said the Reds want control of this area. They probably are sending down enough men to ambush any of our patrols. D
 The heart of the triangle is only 47 air miles northeast of Kaesong, where Red and Allied negotiators today began peace talks.
 Sharp but relatively minor skir- mishes dotted the entire battlefront.
 An Eighth Army briefing officer said there was no report of mili- tary activity of any kind today in the vicinity of Kaesong.
 Rain and poor visibility over all Korea limited Fifth Air Force pi- lots to only g effective sorties. Eighteen were reconnaissance flights. Four B-26 light bombers made radar-controlled bomb drops in support of ground troops.
 B-29 Superforts flew through thick rain clouds and dropped 70 tons of bombs on important Red supply centers at Sinpo and Kowon on the east coast of North Korea.
 The big planes flew from Okina- wa. They used radar to find their targets.
