permit Red Chinese and North

Maryland Gets Break
On tobacco Supports
As Truman Signs Bill
BY the Assoeiufed Press

President Truman yesterday
signed a bill to give Maryland
tobacco a better break in the COM
putting of carry-over supplies and
price support levels.
The measure recognizes the fact
that Maryland tobacco is mar
keted about three months later
than other tobaccos.
BY changing the start of the
marketing year from October / to
January /. the bill will have the
effect Of reducing the total supply
Of Maryland tobacco by disappear
ance during the October 1-Decem-
ber 81 period.
Will Help Boost Support Level.
This in turn will increase the
amount Of Maryland tobacco nee
essary to bring the total supply
up to the reserve supply level
and will tend to increase the sup
port level.
A congressional committee re-
port said this is illustrated by the
application of the supply per-
centage to the determination of
support levels for the 1850 crop.
That crop is being supported
at 86 per cent of parity. Under
the new measure, the support
level would have been 80 per cent
Of parity.
Plan Called More Realistic.
The report added that since
producers do not ordinarily mar
ket Maryland tobacco before jan
uary l, lit is felt that determina-
ton Of carry-over as of that date
is more realistic and fairer than
determination as of an earlier
date"
"A higher supply level also ap-
pears desirable" the report said,
ito alleviate the danger of crop
failure. in view of the fact that
Maryland tobacco is produced in
small area"
The committee said the bill
would affect the level of price
support only in years when the
Agriculture Secretary finds it
necessary to end quotas after hay
ing proclaimed them.

u. 5. Opposed 10 Plan
For Political Team
To Advise Gen. Clark
sy III. A..oeia..d Pres.

The United States repeatedly is
cool to a British suggestion that
a team Of political advisers be
named to assist Gen. Mark Clark,
lsupreme United Nations COM
mander in Korea.
The State Department is said to
be against creating any formal
new advisory group in the Far
East theater at this time.
But top American officials told
e reporter today they are consid-
lering closer liaison between Gen.
Clark and the American Ambas-
lsadors in Japan and Korea. as a
means of preventing military de-
Icisions that could result in world
wide political repercussions.
Informed diplomatic officials
said Bitain's Minister of State.
Selwyn Lloyd. suggested the idea
lof political guidance team when
he talked with Secretary Of State
Acheson here several weeks ago.
British Would Have Voice.
Mr.. Lloyd reportedly argued
such a group. on which Britain
would be represented, would make
sure Gen. Clark and top American
military leaders in Korea realized
the full international implications
Of military decisions they might
make.
A political guidance team. he
felt, might have avoided the fare
Iup between Britain and the United
States which resulted from Amer
ican bombing of Communist pow
er plants in North Korea without
first notifying the British.
The State Department, it was
learned, takes the view that ade-
Iquate machinery already exists for
providing Gen. Clark with all the
political advice he needs. Gen.
Clark is repeatedly in close con-
tact with Robert Murphy, Amer
lean Ambassador to Tokyo. Gen.
James Van Fleet. military COM
mander in Korea. is said to be in
constant contact with John j.
Muccio. American Ambassador to
Korea.
The problem as American offi-
cials see it is to make certain
these contacts be utilized more
frequently and efficiently.
Ammunition for Reds.
American officials object to the
idea Of a political advisory team
because in their view:
/. 1t might give the Commu-
nists a chance to point to the
move as proof the United States
has been ignoring its Allies in the
Korean fighting and forcing its
decisions on them.
2. The new group might prove
too cumbersome and unwieldy.
and perhaps slow down execution
Of quick military operations.
The British repeatedly put for
ward the suggestion not only as q
way to avoid such things as the
Yalu bombing mixup. but as a
means Of providing broadly based
advice to Gen. Clark on how to
deal with problems such as those
involving President Syngham
Rhee of Korea.
Gen. Clark, as u. N. commander,
along with Gen. Van Fleet, have
had to intervene in Rhee's bitter
quarrel with the Korean Legisla-
ture. American officials, however,
believe this problem is now being
Strengthened out and that 1t is
unlikely that Gen. Clark will need
a formal advisory board to deal
with such problems in the future.

CIo President Philip Murray
yesterday accused six major steel
companies Of violating the anti

In a letter to Mr.. McGranery,
Mr.. Murray said the six big pro-

combination and conspiracy
which was preventing all other

The steel workers president
wrote Mr.. McGranery: "It is my

panies from separately reaching
