President Truman today called
on Congress for a two-year ex-

that the alternative is. new in

economy"
The President warned in a 5000
word message that "inflammahle
materials are all around us; we
must prevent the fires from break

Some members of Congress al
ready have opposed extension OF
the economic controls for more
than a year and others have
wanted the restraints removed.
In asking for the extension OF
the act which expires on June 80
as essential to the defense mo-
bilization effort Of the Nation"
the President once more demanded
that Congress repeal without de-
lay the Capehart-Herlong and

The President said the Cape

BY The Associated Press

BaCkerS OF senator 1alG Oh OIllO

linasmuch as they had upset pre-

This represented for the Eisen-

Macarthur Promised Two.
II today's convention confirms
compromises reached in the tradi-
|tional smoke filled hotel rooms last
might, hackers of Senator Taft
and Gen. Macarthur will wind up
with nine of the delegates and
Gen. Eisenhower will have seven.
Senator Taft had the promise Of
seven and Gen. Macarthur two.
OF the two votes credited to
Gen. Macarthur, one is 10 O. Fer
guSon. who lost the Oklahoma
governorship by only about $4,000
votes to Democratic Gov. Johns
ton Murray in 1850.
That is about as close as o.

elected Governor of this tradition
ally Democratic state and the Els
enhower and Taft forces bowed to
Mr.. Ferguson's selection as chair
man Of the delegation without al

At stake here are four at-large
delegates, IL having been chosen
previously in district conventions.
Under the compromise, two are
for Senator Taft, one for Gen.
Eisenhower and one uncommitted
MIR. Ferguson.
Spread Is Narrow.
With l,344 votes involved, the
spread of Eisenhower Taft
strength was said to be less than
100 votes.
From a national standpoint, the
whole battle here adds up to al
dry run which both sides will try
to exploit to their advantage else
where.
The emergence Of Macarthur

How deeply this activity in be-

into Senator Taft's primary

Although Macarthur supporters
generally have been regarded as
fayoring Senator Taft as their

The black-veiled young Queen,
now the head Of the royal family

from its black teak hearse coach.
She was pale and drawn but
hiding her grief. Queen Mother
Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, the
young Queens husband. the Duke
of Edinburgh, and the Kings
brother. the Duke Of Gloucester,
rode from Sandringham to Lon
don with the Queen in her coach
just behind the car which bore
the coffin.

The coffin was draped with the

The crown rested on a purple

At least four apartment house

Moments before the four -engined

"It is ironic that the vigorous
efforts exerted by the $1,000 loyal

than at any time in history, with
a lower cost per dollar Of collec-

he had no wish to detract from

disclosed scandals and other
shortcomings in the tax admin

The Allies previously have made
it clear that, unless both sides

'post-armistice peace conference
Admiral Joy pointed out that
Chinese troops fighting in Korea
always have been labeled volun-
teers, both by Red China and
North Korea. He said the Com
munists have argued that the
appearance of volunteer units ~
Korea was completely unrelated

"Clearly." Admiral Joy said,
"the Peoples Republic Of China

Admiral Joy was replying to
Yesterdays statement by North
Korean Gen. Nam II attacking an
Allied proposal that recommenda-
tions for a peace settlement be
sent to the United Nations as a
whole. Gen. Nam argued that
many members of the U. N. are

Korea"

the Allies offered conditionally TO
give up their demand that neutral
teams interview displaced civilians
to determine whether they want
to live in North or Soy y Korea.
