But the hurricane-if it kept
its present course during the day
was due to hit the mainland
about halfway between the ports
between z and 10 pm. (EDT).
Both expected to be on the outer
fringes of the storm.
The Weather Bureau said the
full force was headed for the
Tuxpan-Nautla area.

Tuxpan is an oil port of about
$4,000 population about 135 lniles

Truman Sees
Control Failure,
MayAskChange
Convinced New Law
Is Not Checking
Price Initiation
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman is convinced
that the new price control law is
failing to check imitation and may
ask Congress for speedy revision.
it was announced at the White
House today.
The President, it was explained
by Press Secretary Joseph Short,
took up the matter with his ma
tional advisory board on mobili-
zation policy-made up of repre-
sentatives of various segments Of
the economy-at their meeting to-
day, asking the 17-member group
whether they believed a message
should be sent to Congress and
what it should contain.
In signing the new measure re-
luctantly on July 81, the Presi-
dent said that the imitation con-
troll provisions "are gravely de-
flcient" and added that he was
going to ask Congress for changes.
The control features, embodied
in the Defense Production Act,
only got through Congress after
a long battle, and were far short
Iof what Mr.. Truman originally
had asked.
Will Consult Leaders.
He will consult with his leaders
before making another appeal for
action. Mr.. Short said. Congress

ber /.
Mr.. Truman, it was explained.
told the board today that "the
administration is trying to do the
best it can with the law as writ
ten," but feels that a losing fight
is being waged against imitation.
At the time the law was passed.
Republican leaders declared that
lit would be a good law if hon
estly enforced.
Asked what the President had
in mind specifically as to de-
fects in existing legislation, Mr..
Short was unable to elaborate,
but he said that he thought that
some of the officials concerned
with administering the law had
been concerned with it's short
comings.
Early Decision Expected.
! In the past few days Economic
Stabilizer Eric johnson has said
that the law is threatening to
boost the cost of living by billions
of dollars.
i President Truman made it clear
when he signed the measure that
he acted because there was no
alternative, but he warned then
that this act will do great harm
to our price and wage controls.
The President indicated the
new move for change in the law
at the regular session of the board.
which is headed by Defense
Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson. and
1t was assumed that there will be
an early decision on whether a
message would go to the Hill.
Prices May Be Adjusted.
The Office of Price Sterilization
mas announced it is permitting
lcanners and freezers of most vege-
tables. fruits and juices to set
tnelr own prices. while it con-
tlnues its effort to work out CELL
Eings.
When the new cost formulas are
announced the prices charged to
purchasers by the Gamers and
I1reezers will be subject to ADJUST
iment.
OPS called its temporary plan
an adjustable" pricing policy.
Meanwhile the OPS granted its
third price boost in as many
months to the producers of ma
chine tools. Manufacturers now
will be allowed to increase their
pre-Korea prices by IL per cent in
fixing their new ceilings.

Britain Offers Iranians
Take Il or Leave II
Proposal in Oil Fight
Teheron Given Till Noon
Tomorrow to Accept PIon
To Settle Controversy
BY the Associoted Press

TEHERAN, Iran. Aug. 21.-
Britain's delegate today offered
Iran new proposal to settle the
grave British oil dispute and gave
the IranianS until noon tomorrow
to take it or leave 1t.
The new British move followed
Delegate Richard r. Stokes of the
previous British proposal revolving
about a $3.50 split of Iranian oil
products.
I'm London, the Foreign Office,
confirming the new offer, an
nounced that Prime Minister
Attlee has summoned his cabi-
net to discuss the oil negotia-
tionS)
Mr.. Stokes announced he had
offered compromise possibilities
which concern the retention of
British management at the Aba
dan refinery and the oil fields.
These had been rejected by Iran
ian Premier Mohammed MosSa-
degh. Mr.. Stokes then withdrew
Britain's proposals and substi-
tuted a new overall one. 1t in
cluded the problem of employ
ment of British personnel. If the
Teheran government rejects this,
Mr.. Stokes probably will return
at once to London.
Hopes for Acceptance.
Mr.. Stokes told reporters:
"All my efforts have been con-
centrated on obtaining a fair,
workmanlike solution. That
believe to have failed, I regret to
say, and I can only hope the gov
ernment (of Iran) before noon
tomorrow will reconsider and ac-
cept the abundance of help and
good will which, in the interest
of Iran, even at this late hour,
is still available. If not, there is
nothing left for me but to go
home"
There seemed to be little hope
that a last-minute Iranian switch
would avert complete breakdown
of the talks. w. Averell Harri-
man, President Truman's envoy,
who has been trying to mediate
the dispute. had no immediate
comment on the imminent failure
of his mission, but he has made it
clear he supports the British pro-
posal.
Mr.. Stokes told reporters the
breakdown came after DR.. Mossa-
degh objected to any sort of Brit
ish supervision over the Abadan
refinery and oilfields. although he
said the Iranians were willing to
hire Britons on an individual basis.
Voices Opinion of Staff.
II have kept in closest touch
with the British staff and am
their unanimous opinion
in saying they will not remain to
work in Iran if the Iranian gov
insists on impossible
and management condi-
tions," Mr.. Stokes said.
Anglo Iranian'S representative
at Abadan told reporters that by
the end of this week the British
staff remaining at the refinery
will number about $50 and there
will be 230 in the oilf1eld areas.

Chinese Wus Killed
In u. N. Ambush
BY the Associated Press

MUNSAN, Korea. Aug. 21.-
Communist protests and anti
American propaganda were
stepped up today as a joint Allied
Communist subcommittee held it's
fifth session trying to break the
deadlock in Korean truce talks.
Red China's Peiping radio said
tonight that the killing of a Chi
neSe soldier in the Kaesong neu-
trail zone will rouse still greater
hatred of American Imperialism
among Korean and Chinese peo-
pies"
The Reds formally charged the
Chinese was killed in an ambush
by United Nations troops. The
U. N. command denied this: said
it was probably the work of guer-
rillas.
Today's Peiping broadcast, quot
ing the official Hsinhua New China
News Agency, said "he was mur-
dered in American ambush"
Delegations Pore Over Maps.
The broadcast quoted Maj. Gen.
Hsieh Fang, Chinese armiStice
delegate and member of the
joint subcommittee, as saying the
death of the soldier will surely

termination to defend peace"
Hours before the broadcast the
subcommittee-two Allies and two
Communists-met in Kaesong for

Gen. Nuckols drew no distinc-

sessions and in subcommittee
meetings.
u. N. Demands ASSailed.
The U. N. spokesman made his
comment after Peiping radio said
yesterday that:
"If the American side still stub
bornly adheres to its unreasonable
demand Of plunder, and rejects
the just and reasonable proposal
of our side. an agreement will be
impossible.
The broadcast was a detailed
analysis. in typical sharply-worded
Communist fashion, of U. N. de-
mands for buffer zone along the
present battle-line. The broad
cast said:
"All the military logic of the
American side cannot in the least

policy nor can it in the least cover
up the arrogant. unreasonable and
utterly fantastic American de-
mand to set up the military de-

Cloy said in his quarterly report
to the State Department. They
tried to scare West Germans away
from joining Western defense and
into a sell-out compromise with
the East.
Instead. Mr.. McCloy reported.
German support for Western de-
fense has increase. and the Com
munists' chief propaganda agen-
cies have been thoroughly dis
credited, rejected and even out
lawed by an aroused West Ger
many.
Subversion Resisted.
"It has become increasingly
difficult to peddle recognizable
Communist wares in Western Ger
many, Mr.. McCloy concluded.
"West German determination to
uncover and resist Communist
subversion has matured appre-
ciably. Even the basic play on
fear of Soviet attack has worn
thin with the excessive use and
growing Allied strength"
Their militant, uniformed Free
German Youth" (FDD spear
headed the Communists propa-
ganda drive at its outset. They
staged mass demonstrations and
started riots in several cities.
Printed propaganda flooded West
Germany. Communist newspapers
became increasingly savage in
their attacks on the Western
Allies.
But the West German govern
ment banned the FDJ and confis-
Gated tons of Red propaganda,
and the Allies suspended most of
the Communist newspapers.
Then the Red propagandists
tried to use persons and groups
not formally connected with COM
munism. Mr., McCloy reported.
Even these voices, however,
soon became lost as the West
German population rallied to the
anti-Communist call" he said.
Veteran Groups Infiltrated.
The Communists even infiltrat-
ed groups of German war yeter-
ans and tried to get them to op-
pose German participation in
Western military defense, Mr.. Nc
Clogs report said.
However, several veterans Or
ganizations have already indi-
Gated their refusal of the Commu-
mist line by expressing their will
ingness to support a West German
defense contribution on the basis
of equal partnership" he added.
In spite of all the Communist
propaganda, Mr.. McCloy conclud-
ed. West German sentiment for
defense has grown until the ques-
ton now is mot primarily wheth-
er or not West Germany should
actively participate in it's own de-
Ifense. Rather, much of the de-
bate centers on the manner and
conditions for such participation. -
Meanwhile, the Communist Party
has lost ground steadily in every
succeeding election
Mr.. McCloy conceded that the
recent election successes of the
Nazi-like Socialist Empire Party
discloseS a certain potential
danger from the extreme right.
But he discounted the likelihood
of "any general advance of the
ultranationalist cause in the fore
seeable future"
On the whole. he said. West
Germany is making steady prog

Stronger Drug Laws
Proposed by Barrett
To Curb Use Here
Police Chief Cites Lack
Of Enforcement Power
In Plea to City Heads
By Horriet Griffiths

Police Supt. Robert J. Barrett
today recommended remedial leg
islation to permit the Police De-
partment better to cope with vio-
lations of the narcotics laws in
the District.
Maj. Barrett told the Commits
sioners there are many defici-
encies in existing laws relating to
the sale. possession and use of
narcotic drugs in the District.
He listed these:
/. 1t is not possible to prosecute
addicts in whose possession are
found hypodermic syringes OF
needles or other instrument;
needed for administering habit
forming drugs.
2. Adjacent Jurisdictions have
laws which make certain drug Of
fenses felonieS. while in the Dis
trict the same offenses are mis-
demeanors.
Maryland Has Greater Penalty.
3. The Maryland Narcotic Drug
Act provides that conviction of a
narcotic violation in any other
State, territory or district is suffi-
cient to make such offense a
second violation when appre-
hended in Maryland and there
fore subject to greater penalty
than would apply in the District.
4. The Maryland act provides a
more stringent penalty for any
transactions in narcotic drugs
involving minors.
S. In some States it is a viola
tion for any person to use or be
administered any illicit narcotic
drug. This is not true in the Dis
trict. Such a law, if enacted for
the District would force addicts to
go to the so-called "joints" to have
drugs administered to them. there
by permitting better surveillance
and enforcement.
District Problem Growing.
The majors request came amid
growing evidence that the drug
traffic in Washington is not as
meager as police officials have
stated.
Last week Baltimore Judge JOS
eph Sherbow tagged the District
as major source of heroin supply
for Baltimore peddlers. The judge
told the Senate Crime Investigat-
ing Committee that several ped
dlers appearing in his court hac
freely admitted they came tt
Washington to get dope.
Maj. Barrett has announced q
school, to open in the fall. to &C
quaint all police officers with en-
forcemnet of narcotics laws. He
termed it an "all-out drive
against narcotics peddling, and
said that all police officers would
join with the narcotics squad in
the enforcement of the drug laws
Several Seizures Made Recently.
Several large seizures of illegal
drugs have been made here in the
past three months as well as many
arrests of addicts and peddlers.
The Police Chief said the points
he made to the Commissioners
were outlined with a view to
pointing out the difficulty of prop
er enforcement without adequate
law to deal with the situation and
taking into consideration particu-
larly the fact that adjacent states
provide more adequate penalties
and also have laws which permit
more efficient enforcement"
Maj. Barrett cited sections from
Maryland and Pennsylvania laws
which he suggested would be help
full to enforcement in the District.
The Commissioner handed the
recommendations to Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West for study.
