 A question not immediately answered was: Did that mean tha not many points had been agreed upon?
 Or did it mean that negotiations had been progressing so smoothly and agreeable that the United Ma tions delegates saw no reason fol any backward looks?
 At Eighth Army headquarters, AT Correspondent Nate Polowetzky said there was speculation that Com munists needed time to receive fur ther instructions to deal with the LIN delegations adamant stand against withdrawal of foreign troops from Korea.

Committee
 0kays Huge Defense Sum

WASHINGTON, July 21 = iR = The House Armed Services Com mittee today approved a S5,767,- 000,C00 military construction pro- gram aimed at snoring up defenses at home and abroad against any Soviet aggression.
 The Air Force gets the biggest share = around $3,480,000, 0,000 = in- clueing about $1,000 100000 to build chain of overseas secret bases girdling Russia.
 Approximately $1,368,0 100000 is earmarked for the Army and $751; PCT 900 for the Navy and Marines, mostly for work on camps and other installations in this country. Secret projects are included also in their programs.
 Chairman Vinson D-Ga) told reporters he plans to call up the legislation for House action within few weeks.
 In submitting the program to Congress a month ago, Secretary of Defense Marshall said the work is urgently needed and called for fast action
 He also warned it will be neces- sary to ask approval later of still more projects. As it stands now, the construction program is the biggest since World War IT.
 Today's committee action simply authorizes the work. The actual money will have to be provided later.
 The Defense Department orig inally sought approval for S6,56l,- 262,000 program at home and abroad. But it asked that only s4 800 100000 be appropriated now to pay for construction planned be- fore next July.
 In line with that, the committee generally approved only projects that can be completed in that time.

Driver Starts
 Strip Adj ai Derby Weigh-ins

One driver at the Soap Box Derby weighing-in last night thought for a moment that he would have to strip" to get within the 250-pound maximum weight allowed for driver and car.
 Shedding his rain-soaked jacket and taking a wet towel from the cockpit of his, car, the total weight of himself and car was then exactly 250 pounds.
 All cars, with exception of those needing minor adjustments, were left at the old Southeast Alaska Fair building after the weighing-in until the race tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Those cars needing ad- iustments are to be turned in this afternoon at 1 80 at the Fair build ing.
 The appearance of two policemen at the weighing almost put scare into two drivers. One driver asked the other whether he thought the "cops" would allow them to exceed to mile-an-h hour speed limit.
 Hearing the question, one police man told the two boys that Sunday was the only day that all Soap Box Derby racers would be allowed to exceed the limit.
 Estimates of the speed by spec tators at the trial runs varied from 25 to 35 miles an hour for the cars as they sped down Twelfth street hill. site of the race.

Rents Upped, Down Payments Reduced in One Year Measure

WASHINGTON, July 21 - R - A stripped down Economic Controls bill, minus most of the added fea- lures President Truman wanted, was passed by the House early today.
 The measure, extending wage, price and other controls for one year, now goes to a Senate-House conference committee to iron out differences between 1t and eight months extension voted by the Sen ate on the whole, the two differed but little on several major points; none on few
 Patchwork Bill
 As the House bill finally emerged, it was a patchwork of amendments which appeared to satisfy neither Democrats nor Republicans entirely
 Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston said the bill does not give consumers the break they deserved"
 But administration House leaders conceded it might have been worse. In the gruelling 14-hour windup session ending carly this morning, they were able to snatch at least partial victory out of a fight stud ded with defeats over the past two weeks.
 Rents Upped
 rho lNiII
 1. Allow a 20 per cent increase in rents over July, 1947, levels.
 2. Increase the pay-off time for both new and used cars, bought on the instalIment plan, from l5 to 21 months.
 3. Reduce down payments on household appliances from 25 to 15 per cent and lengthen the pay-off period from 15 months to IS months The trade-in value of an old ap- pliance could be used as part of the down payment.
 4. Reduce down payments on household furniture and floor cOv- erings from 15 to 10 per cent, with 2l instead of 15 months to pay.
 5. Allow homes costing up to S1O,000 to be bought with only a 10 per cent down payment, with 25 years to pay off the mortgage.
 Contains Bans
 The bill also: Contains ban on imports of fats and oils, peanuts and dairy products for two years; keeps the 10 per cent beef rollback in effect, but bars any further re- duction; allows a 10 per cent roll back in the prices of some other farm products; and refuses Presi- dent Truman the authority to ac- quire and operate defense plants or to license businesses.
 All these actions are subject to change by a House-Senate Confer ence committee.
 That's where the bill goes next.

 American military personnel flying to the Orient on CPA planes must assemble here.
