|PriceRoI|backs
Agreement to Extend
Curbs Reached at
All-Night Session
BY the Associated Press

Senate-House conferees voted
tentatively early today to permit
price rollbacks on non-farm
commodities to levels which pre-
vailed just before the Korean war
provided certain cost increases
are taken into account.
The tentative decision came
near the end of an au-night
session of the conference commit
tee, which agreed to extend
economic controls legislation
through next June.
The extension measure covers
wage, price. rent and other emer-
gency curbs.
Senator Maybank, Democrat, Of
South Carolina. the joint commit
tee chairman, told reporters the
group will meet again this after!
noon to make final decision re-
garding the non-farm rollback
provision. SHe said a few other
provisions also will come up for
a final vote at that time.
Major Provisions of Bill.
Here. briefly. are the major pro-
visions III the bill as agreed on so
far:
l. Price Observation-Disclosures on
non-farm goods to pre-Korean
levels would be permitted if allow
ance is made for certain cost in
creases. The 10 per cent rollback
on live beef prices already in effect
is retained but two proposed cuts
of Az per cent each would be
barred. Prices on other farm
commodities could be pushed back
to q-90 per cent of the level
of last May l9 or (2)-To the par
ity level whichever is higher. Par
ity is a figure designed to give
the farmer a fair return for his
product.
2. Rents-A 20 per cent increase
over July. 1947. levels would be
allowed. However, any increases
already made since 1947 would
have to be taken into account SO
THAT in most cases committee off,
Icials estimate the raise could not
amount to more than 5 to per
tcent. Rent rollbacks to levels just
before the Korean war would be
permitted in newly designated
critical defense areas
Credit Rules Eased.
8. Credit - Regulation * re-
strictions on private home financ-
ing would be relaxed in critical
defense areas to encourage con-
struction of housing for defense
workers and military personnel.
The one-third down payment on
new and used automobiles is re-
tanned, but 18 months instead of
the present Is would be permitted
for paying the balance. Down
payments on household appli-
ances. such as radios. would be
reduced from Is to Is per cent
and the payoff period would be
Heightened from Is to 18 months.
The same terms would apply to
other household furniture and
floor coverings.
4. Miscellaneous-A small de-
Tense administration would be
created to help small companies
get more defense business. Gov

Urged by KnowIand
Voice Asks Permission
For Him to Broadcast
On Health Every Night

'S'" 1FSiy iSaSut
Senator Knowland, Republican,
Iof California called on President
Truman today to deprive Czecho-
sloyakia of trade advantages from
the United States until that Iron
Curtain country releases William
IN. Oats, American newspaper
man held on spy charges.
The Voice of America, mean
while, called on President Clement
Gottwald Of Czechoslovakia "in
the name of decency" to let Mr..
Oats broadcast personally every
night, as long as he is held pris-
oner, a report on his health and
treatment.
The California Senator in a let
ter urged Mr.. Truman to with
draw all tariff reductions which
Czechoslovakia may be enjoying
under reciprocal trade agreements
and also to withhold export
licenses ito CZechoslovakia in
implementing their ability to
make war"
Says Issue Must Be Met.
"If the above action is followed
out" Senator Knowland wrote.
Il believe that the economic hard
ship which Czechoslovakia will
suffer will be such that she will
release Mr.. Oats. It will also
serve notice on all Communist
satellite countries that this Nation
will no longer stand idly by and
allow our citizens to be kidnapped,
held and tried on trumped up
charges by a star chamber pro-
ceeding which apparently cannot
stand the light of day.
Sooner or later, this issue
must be met head on, and I be-
lieve that this is the time. and Mr..
Oats is the case. If immediate
results are not achieved by the
above steps. I urge that this Gov
ernment withdraw all diplomatic
representatives from CZechoslo-
vakia and that all their diplomats
be sent home"
Senator Knowland told the
President that, like many other
Americans, he has been disturbed
over the confinement of Mr.. Oats,
who was Associated Press bureau
chief in Czechoslovakia. He said
the Czechs seem about to use the
same tactics with Mr.. Oats that
Hungary used in the case Of Rob-
ert Vogeler.
apparently the Communist
dominated governments feel that
American citizens can be seized
with impunity and that while we
might officially lodge protests, nc
effective and affirmative action
will be taken by U.s." Senator
Knowland went on. "The longer
we allow this impression to exist
the more apt the Communist
dominated governments are to
continue to seize and hold Ameri-
cans as hostages or for other pur-
poses"
Drumhead Justice.
In a special "man-to-man''
broadcast, a Voice of America
commentator addressed himself to
Czechoslovakia's Communist Pres
ident thus:
"You hold somewhere in your
Prague jails an American news

Oats. You have adjudged him
guilty in a trial that only could
take place in a land where the

dence brought forward in your

stated.
1T is evidence of good faith by
the U. N. that further tactical
exploration of the U. N. forces
was halted in the interest of peace
at the very moment when the
U. N. forces were in a position to

j. n. Draws Line
ForCease-Fire.
Al Truce Session
Allies Believed Firm
On Position Along
Present Bottle Front
By Robert B. Tuckmon

U. N. ADVANCE HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Korea, July 27.-The Allies
told the Communists today where
they want to draw the cease-f1re
line in Korea-and why.
Vice Admiral Turner Joy,
chief United Nations delegate, ex-
planned the Allied position in de-
tail as negotiators got down to the
meat of arnistice talks in their
11th meeting at Kaesong.
Admiral Joy talked SO minutes.
He gave the Reds two marked
military maps to picture his posi-
ton.
The five Communist generals
made no comment. Instead they
asked for, and got, an adjourn
ment until 10 am. Saturday g
pm EDIT Friday.
North Korean Gen. Nam II,
spokesman for the Red delegation,
presumably will present the Com
munist reply at that time.
Would Keep Present Line.
The general understanding is
the United Nations is pressing for
a demilitarized zone roughly along
the present battle line. The
Communists want it along the
38th Parallel.
Starting from a point 35 miles
north Of the 38th Parallel on the
east coast, the battle lines run
roughly Is to 20 miles north of
38 for rs miles to Chorwon. Then
they drop sharply south along the
1mjin River, crossing the Parallel
at a point east of the Kaesong
armistice site.
Admiral joys statement, OPEN
ing actual negotiations for an
armistice, took most of today's
72-minute session.
The first 18 minutes were de-
voted to procedural matters. The
two delegations reached agreement
in principle on just how to tackle
the four major points of their
truce talks. a U. N. announcement
said, and named teams of officers
to work out the details.
Reads Prepared Statement.
Then Admiral Joy leaned his
elbows on the green topped con-
ference table and began reading
a prepared statement on the Allied
position. 1t was officially de-
scribed as "sparsely phrased and
logical presentation.
"Joy expressed a military view
point" said Air Force Brig. Gen.
William Nuckols, Allied spokesman
who was present. This (military
view) is the area to which U. N.
delegates have frequently stated
they will confine themselves.
Both Admiral Joy and Gen. Nam
leaned forward with their elbows
on the table.
''They were closer together,
physically. than they have been
for some time" Gen. Nuckols said
Only once was Admiral Joy in
terrupted. A Korean interpreter
asked him not to talk so rapidly,
so he could hear the English as
well as the Korean translation
being read by a U. N. interpreter.

half an hour, the American ad-
miral produced colored map to

ST. PETER AM.E. CHURCH

Our first quarterly service for
the new conference year got off to
a grand start with out new pre-
siding officer Of the st. Paul Dis
trict, the Rev. Nelson Pryor, OF
Michigan. Rev. Pryor served in
the Northwest conference several
years ago and now comes back
with long record Of successes TO
his credit. He was the speaker OF
the morning and gave a very dy-
mamie message full of great spiri-
tual truths. II was taken from the
story of Cain and Abelin Genesis
Attn chapter.
There is a great opportunity
here in the Twin Cities to revive
the old fashioned quarterly meet
ings of years ago which did so
much to advance the cause OF
African Methodism. Sunday after
noon seemed to be the beginning.
Aside from all the pastors in the
AME churches in the Twin Cities
we were honored to have the Rev.
II. f. Stewart Sr., father of DR..
Carlyle Stewart, pastor of our
largest AME church In Detroit.
The Rev. Stewart Sr, has been
supplying as interim pastor at st.
James in st. Paul. He is So years
young and still very active. He
says he's lived S5 years but he
isn't eighty-five years old. St
Peters choir and the choir from
Wayman shared in furnishing
beautiful music for the service.
The Rev. N. p. Patterson. the
new pastor of Wayman was the
speaker of the afternoon, and left
us with the thought that II Chris
tians worked as hard at being
Christians as sinners do at being
sinners, the Kingdom of God OF
Earth would come much faster
This is a young man in the mini
stry and I'm sure Wayman mem
bers win give him great support
in his beginning, This service wal
held at st. James with the Rev
Henderson Reddick, pastor.
