Washington time. Senator Milli-
kin was not sure whether he
would submit his alternative COM
promise. the nature of which has
not been divulged.
No Definite Agreement.
Present at yesterdays unsuc-
cessful peace meeting were Mrs.
Mildred Younger of California,
representing the majority on the
subcommittee, and Mr.. Parsons
and Mr., Hart.
AS the three left the conference
they told reporters. "Up to now
we have reached no definite
agreement"
Asked If the issue Of Federal VS..
State control of the problem
would be taken to the floor of
the convention. MIR. Parsons said:
THAT depends on what the full
committee does"
Mrs. Younger said she believed
that, an agreement might have
been possible if the entire sub
committee had been able to meet
with Senator Millikin yesterday.
Indications were that the mi
nority might go along with the
idea of a voluntary Federal fair
employment practice commission
provided it involved no Federal
enforcement powers.
The full Resolutions Commit
tee. composed Of nearly 100 mem
bers from all the States and ter
ritories, will make every effort
today to iron out the problem and
avoid taking it to the floor of the
convention.
Although the platform ordi-
narily would go to the conven-
ton today, the fight over con-
tested Southern delegations may
delay its presentation until to-
morrow.

Instead of hopping like a nor

Congress Act
Reyerses Court
Martial OF 1872

NEW YORK Up - The great
grandson of court-martialed
naval lieutenant, who died in 1874,
will receive a renewed commission
for the dead officer today in a vic
torious end to a 137-year vindica-
ton fight.
Electus D. Litchfield, an 81
year-old architect, formally win be
presented with a certificate restor-
ing the rank Of 1t. William S. Cox,
who was cashiered in 1914. The
certificate was signed by President
Truman last month.
Cox was tried and convicted two
years after he served in the war
of 1872 as a 21-year-old third lieu
tenant aboard the u. S. frigate
Chesapeake, which fought the Brit
ish frigate Shannon off Boston.
In the battle the American ship
was badly hit and most of her Off
GERS injured. Her commanding Of
ficer, Capt. James Lawrence, ut
tered the famous words Don't
give up the ship" as he lay mortal
ly wounded.
But the British boarded and cap
tured the Chesapeake.
The court martial accused Cox
of misconduct in leaving the battle
to direct crew members in carry
ing the wounded Lawrence below
decks.
Cox's family fought to restore his
good name, making pleas to Presi-
dents Theodore Roosevelt and
Franklin D. Roosevelt. But an act
of Congress was necessary to re-
verse the court martial. The bill
was passed in July.

Republicans expected to win all
major offices, as they have done
regularly since 1884.
Bolstering their optimism was
an informal survey, compiled by
The Associated Press from opin-
ions gathered by newspapers and
radio stations. 1t indicated victory
for the COP, but with smaller ma
jorities than in recent elections.
Democratic State Committee
Chairman James G. Sawyer fore
cast a vote Of about 240, 600. The
1948 vote was 223, 900. The COP
margin then was record IS, 900 -
for Margaret Chase Smith as SEN
ator. The biggest vote was 81, 900
in 1886. Sawyer said, however,
that local issues, rather than state
or national, would bring out many
voters.

it on interest stirred among Re-

by raising the price Of wine sold

Says ThatH
Is More Severe
And Impractical
Than Other Offers
BIZ MAZE POL oWETzkY

TEHRAN, Iran R-Premier Mo-
manned Mossadegh fatty rejected
last night the British-American Of
fer to solve the Anglo-Iranian oil
squabble, but limited Iran might
agree to court settlement of the
muddled issue.
Blasting the recent Truman
Churchill proposal as the worst yet
made in the dragged-out negotia-
tons Mossadegh told newsmen,
'The solution proposed in this mes
sage is not only altogether inequjta-
BILE, but more severe and imprac-
ticable than earlier proposals"
Mossadegh's point-b point rejec-
ton of the British-American offer
was contained in three-page
statement read to reporters at his
home.
Shortly after the news confer
ence, George Middleton, British
charge d'affaires, conferred for
more than an hour with Mossadegh
at the latter's home. He refused to
divulge the nature of the discus
sion.
Mossadegh's statement was an
expansion of his off-the-cuff rejec-
ton Aug. 30, when the joint offer
was made. He has called special
parliamentary session Wednesday
to frame a formal reply to Britain
and the United States. Observers
believe Parliament will echo the
Premier's stand.
However, some quarters pinned
hope negotiations might continue
on Mossadegh's reference last
night to court settlement. The
Premier said it was possible Iran
and the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.
could agree to submit the compen.
sation issue to a mutually agreed
upon court.
'The first condition of this agree
ment." he added, lis that the par
ties to the suit should determine
the limit and the nature of their
dispute"
The British-American proposal
had included an offer for World
Court arbitration of compensation
due the British-owned AIO0 for its
nationalized properties.
Commenting on this. however,
Mossadegh said:
1T is clear to all that after the
international Court ruled it has no
jurisdiction in the case, the Iranian
courts constitute the only judicial
authority in the world competent
to investigate the present dispute. +"
Mossadegh, only recently recov-
cred from an illness. read his state
ment in a firm voice. Assailing
the British-American offer as COM
pletely inequitable. he said:
BY imposing these terms the
intention (of the British and Amer
lean governments) is to destroy
the fruit of all the struggles of the
Iranian government and the hard
ships it has suffered in defending
its rights of sovereignty.
Despite all economic and finan.
cial difficulties the Iranian nation
will under no circumstances sub
NIT to unfair conditions that NAV
be prejudicial to its economic or
political independence or, may God
forbid, to the national honor and
prestige of Iran"
Iran is just about broke as a re-
suit of loss of revenues from the
AlOC, shut down since its Iranian
holdings we're nationalized nearly
year ago.
Mossadegh omitted any mention
of the U. S. offer to loan Iran 10
million dollars upon condition she
accept the joint proposal.

MY SURROUNDINGS
BY JOSEPHINE J. TAYLOR

He Giveth His Loved Ones Sleep
All dread of the distant future,
All fears that oppress today,
Like mists that clear in the sun
light
Have noiselessly passed away.
No call nor clamor can rouse her
From slumber so pure and
deep,
For only His voice can rouse
her;
He giveth His loved ones sleep.
Weep not that her tolls are over;
Weep not that her race is run;
God grant we may rest as calmly
When our work, as hers, is
done.
Till then we would yield with
gladness
Our treasure to Him to keep
and
Rejoice in the sweet assurance
He giveth His loved ones sleep.

friend, Elizabeth Brown, who
was laid to rest in Mother earth's

EYES ARE ON YOUR HANDS

No machinist's tools are more
constantly subjected to the
ravages of time, weather, dirt
and hard water soaps than are
your hands; yet your hands are
expected to maintain that soft,
smooth, feminine appearance.
Many women seek to hide rough
cracked, ugly hands beneath
silk and cotton gloves; but you
can't constantly wear gloves
around HIM. Would you hide
your face behind a mask in
order to shield unsightly skin
blemishes? OF course not.
You'd seek time-tested facial
creams and tonics to rectify the
disorders. Your hands are no
less important a part Of your
personal beauty than is your
face, and they should be afforded
the same constant, conscientious
care. DO you oil and stimulate
your face at night? Why not
your hands? DO you treat your
face to periodical ice baths?
Why not let your hands enjoy
