To Ask Congress
 For Good Strong Price Control Law

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman prepared today to ham, mer on Congress door for ''good strong price control law to re- place what he called the "de- ficient" act he signed last night.
 MT. Truman emphasized that he accepted the new, one-year de- fense production act-"the worst I ever had to sign"-only be- cause he could not risk the lapse of it's rent ceiling and strong priority control clauses.
 But the bitterly disputed law was on the books, and it's Repub- lican and Democratic packers de- fended it against the angry White House blasts. Their views were summed up by the veteran COP leader, Rep. Halleck Qnd, who said:
 Its a bill which, properly ap- piled and administered, will eff feet control despite MT. Truman's statements"
 At the center of the storm Michael V. DiSalle's Office of Price Stabilization hastily ex- plored techniques for lifting price ceilings to the levels now re- quired.
 DiSalle ordered thousands of price roll-backS - and a goodly number of roll-forwards-into eff feet last night in the final hours before MT. Truman signed the new measure.
 By rushing the orders out last night, OPS avoided the immediate necessity of rewriting the ceilings to conform to the new act, which entities each manufacturer to pass on to buyers his full business cost increases up to July 26.

MILAN, Italy, (P) - Luciano Negrini said today he had been expelled from the priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church and that he was racing with time to get legal permission to marry American-born Claire Young.

 A police official said Mrs. Eileen Young, the girls mother, has asked American authorities to re- fuse clearance for the marriage which is required by Italian law on the grounds she is not rational.
 A terse official notice from his church Superiors said he was Sex pelled," Negrini said.
 He said "This means now I can freely do what I want" and added his first act would be to marry the young girl who loved him so much she tried to throw herself from a police station window on July 28 when she was refused permission to remain in Italy any longer.

Abadan Refinery, Worlds Largest, Is Shut Down

ABADAN, Iran, (P) - A red haired Scotsman pushed a button yesterday and halted the last gaso- line producing machine of the worlds largest refinery-closed in the bitter oil row between Britain and Iran.
 The Anglo-Iranian Oil Com pany's giant plant at Abadan Is- land has been slowing down pro- duction for the past month. Tues day it ceased altogether because no room remained in the acres of storage tanks to put any more gasoline, kerosene and other pro- ducts.
 There was little fuss over the closing of the refineries' last op- erating unit.
 The shutdown climaxes the months-long dispute over owner ship of the billion dollar AIOC which has choked off a major source of oil supply for the Brit ish navy and western Europe.

WASHINGTON, (P) - T h e Atomic Energy Commission dis closed yesterday it is developing new but secret sites to "store" atomic weapons-and is planning much more frequent" test blasts.
 Word Of the new storage sites came out of a news conference held in connection with AEC's tenth semi-annual report to Con- gress made public yesterday.
 A reporter noted a statement in the report that development of new facilities for weapons pur- poses proceeded in the first six months of this year) and announ- cements were made of some of the sites"
 At the conference it was also disclosed that the United States has developed some weapons that have bigger 'bang" - that is, greater "energy release" - than others. The commission said that was one of the reasons why some weapons have been tested in re- mote Eniwetok while others with lesser "bang" have been tested in Nevada.
 "One of the considerations Gin choosing testing grounds is hurt ing somebody" AEC chairman Gordon Dean told reporters. 'When they get very large Gin energy-releasing capacity we take them away from people"

Truce Teams
 Refuse to Budge On Buffer Zone

U. N. ADVANCE HEADQUAR- TIERS, Korea, (F) - United Ma tionS and communist truce teams again today refused to budge from their opposing stands on where to establish a buffer zone across Korea.
 Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief LIN. delegate, talked for an hour and 13 minutes telling the Reds what was wrong with their de- mand. It was the longest speech that has been made in the 16 KaeSong cease-fire talks.
 The communists want a buffer zone back along the 38th parallel, the old political boundary line between North and South Korea. That is inferior terrain for mili- tary defenses.
 Since this is a military armis- tice," Joy told the five Red gen. erals, we are interested only in military realities"
 The U. N. insists that the cease fire zone be established along present battle lines, where both armies would be in good defensive positions.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, [P The United Nations will go to the rescue if Russia attacks Yugo- slavia, chief U. $. delegate War ren R. Austin says.

Acheson Rejects Red Proposals

WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of State AcheSon rejected flatly today the communist proposal that buffer zone be set up in Korea along the 38th parallel.
 Acheson told a news conference the Reds wish to go back to a line over which they launched an unprOVOked attack-to start the Korean War-and he said that is not acceptable.
 He added that Secretary of De- fense Marshall has made it en- tircly clear that any demarcation lint must be a defensible line.
 Events have shown, AcheSon said, that this is not true of the 38th parallel.
 He declared that the talks now under way at Kaesong are es- sentially military talks, but that the communists have been trying to use them for political purposes.
 By this he apparently meant that instead of being willing to stop the fighting where the armies now are and where both sides would have strong defense posi- tions, the Reds have tried to leave Korea again in communist control while leaving the south to the Allied forces. This would be a re- turn 10 the situation which existed before the communist assault last summer.

County highway projects would
be carried through the winter

winter, with no undue trouble an
tipicated.

of the new approaches will prob
ably be carried over until spring,
it was stated The bridge is ex-
pected to be finished by the end

BY THE LAW

A public highway is not con-
sidered appropriate for race
track. That was learned by two

Sutherland, a report got abroad
in the Russell Fork town that
George Hall and Hatton Mullins

first in his automobile. They
started. State policeman McLe-

the race and started in pursuit,
The policeman returned some
time later, with the two racers
under arrest They were tried,
and each received fine of $500,
coupled with so days suspension
of driving licenses.
Mr.. Sutherland states that Nc
Lemore testified that he could
not always keep in sight of the
racing automobiles, even though
he was going at a speed between
10 and 80 miles per hour. When
he overlook them, one car had
gone over the bank about four
miles from Haysi, and the other
had stopped to give such aid as
he could.
Both of the accused appealed
from the verdict of the court but
Hall withdrew his appeal Mon
day.
