Four Efforts to Negotiate

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Mar
19,-Four separate efforts to ne
goviate a peace in Korea at the
38th Parallel are being made by
the Western world.
| Secretary-General Trygve Lie of
the United Nations is getting TO-
gether plan that would call for
cessation of hostilities, to be fol-
lowed by series of conferences
that would determine what comes
next.
Mr.. Lies plan is different from
others in that it would place a
truce first and arguments about
other details after that. He con-
tends that peace is more impor-
tant than pre-determining what
follows peace.
Because Of the unpopularity of
the war in this country and in
Britain and France, there appears
to be a chance that he might
make headway if the Chinese
Communists also are tired of the
conflict.

to the ceiling price regulations
which he said clarified the eXemp-
ltion provision in those regulations
for agricultural commodities. The
amendment provides for auto
matte removal from the exemption
list of any commodity, except to-
Ibacco, within five days after the
price has reached or exceeded
both parity and the highest price
received before the Korean war.
Parity is that price held to be
fair for farm commodities in re-
lation to what the farmer has
to pay for what he buys.
Previous 5 Weeks are Basis.
Under today's order, when a
farm commodity comes under the
ceiling price regulation, the base
period for determining price CELL
|ings will be the previous five weeks,
rather than the December 19-
January Is period of the general
order.
Today's amendment also pro-
vides that the ceiling price for
milk bought and sold under Fed
eral milk marketing agreements
shall not be lower than the prices
set under those agreements.
Professors and distributors will
be permitted to pay more to pro-
ducers when retail prices go up,
whether or not milk is taken off
the list of exempt agricultural
commodities.
Popcorn Under Controls.
The amendment also makes it
clear that eggs, dry edible beans
and peas, and popcorn come under
the controls except when sold by
the producer.
In another amendment to the
general freeze order, OPS removed
any hindrance to making gcon-
tracts to sell for future delivery.
The change allows the seller to
offer a commodity or service at
the ceiling price in effect at the
time of delivery or at fixed price,
whichever is lower. This will make
it easier for purchases by institu-
tions, many of which have been
hampered in making contracts for
future supplies.

Four Changes to Be Asked.
Representative Arends, Repub-

tee he was sure there would be
moves to make these four major
changes in the bill:
l. Elimination of the UNIT pro-
vision or, failing that, considera-
Jion of UNIT as a separate title of
the draft measure.
g. A definite cutoff date for
UNIT as we'll as the authorization
to draft men for military service

3. Imposition of definite
strength ceiling on the armed
forces, not to exceed 4 million
men.
4. Provision. that troops could
not be sent to join the Atlantic
pact army without specific author
ization of Congress.
Allen Asks Restriction.
Representative Allen, Republi-
can, of Illinois, told Mr.. Arends he
thought the latter restriction
should provide American troops
should not be sent "to fight any
where unless Congress declares
war"
Mr.. AreAds said that since the
UNIT proposal would bring men
Into uniform for only six months
of training, a further amendment
might be offered to split this six
months into two three month pc

The House bill would reduce
the compulsory draft induction

the bitter enemy of DR.. Zanganeh.
The 46-year-old educator, pres
iden of the university law faculty,
had been the target of frequent
leftist student demonstrations in
the past two years.
Shot on University Steps.
The shooting occurred on the
university steps.
Police also sought to determine
if the student, Nusratullah Abdul
Hossein Qumi, was linked with
Fadayam Islam, the fanatic
Moslem group from whose ranks
came the gunman who assassi-
mated Gen. Razmara March 7.
DR.. Zanganeh, however, had not
been involved in the Oil national
ization dispute which was respon-
sible for the premier's death.
A witness to the shooting today
said Oumi pointed the gun at
DR.. anganeh's head but it failed
to fire. He then chased him
around an automobile in front
of the building and shot him once
in the small of his back.
Condition Reported Fair.
At the hospital a doctor said the
bullet had been removed and DR..
Zanganeh'S condition was fair.
DR.. Zanganeh. during his first
tenure as education minister in
1949 and 1850, introduced a dras-
tic press law which the Parlia-
ment passed after an attempt to
assassinate Shah Mohammed Reza
Pahlevi.
The law. since repealed, pro-
vided for the jailing of editors and
suspension of newspapers by ex-
ecutiVe action before a trial.
Gen. Razmara appointed DR..
Zanganeh to the education post
February 5, 1851, despite much
opposition from most newspapers.
He resigned with the rest of Gen.
Razmara's cabinet after the Pre-
mier'S assassination.
Provdo Links Rozmoro Killer
To American Influence
MOSCOW, Mar. 10 [P).-Pravda
charged in a page editorial
yesterday that Iranian Premier
Ali Razmara was assassinated by
people closely connected with
American influence"
In the first comment on the as
sassination to appear in the Soviet
press. the official Communist
Party newspaper accused Iranian
authorities of deliberately doing
everything possible to hush up the
investigation of Gen. Razmara' s
murder and to hide the trail lead
ing to those responsible.
(The significance of Pravda's
delayed editorial blast is that
it reflects the attitude of the
Soviet government toward
Premier Hussein Ala, successor
to Gen. Razmara. Ala incurred
the enmity of the Russians by
his vigorous stand against them
before the U. N. Security Coun-
Gil in 1916 and subsequent pub
lie statements. Ala is regarded
in the Western capitals as
friendly.)
Pravda declared that an exam
ination of the fact could prove
easily that neither the British nor
the Russians were involved in the
Premier's murder and that only
the United States stood to gain
by it.
