VOLUME 1 ‘KEY ISSUE’ DISPU DiSalle, GOP Leaders Happy Over Victory WASHINGTON—(W— Re publican House leaders and Price Chief Michael V. Di- Salle both beamed with pleasure today over defeat of a farm block drive to kill last month’s rollback on cat tle- prices. In a series of unusual voting alignments, the House yesterday adopted an amendment to Its pries control bill which would let that 10 per cent cattle price rollback stand, and restore authority for more rollbacks on everything but beef and possibly cotton. “VERT HAPPY” "I'm very happy about It,” Di- Salle said. He told a reporter he would have liked to go through with his two future beef rollbacks, as well, and thereby cut beef ceilings 8 to 10 cents a pound. But he con fessed that he had earlier given up much hope that Congress would allow that. Republican leaders In the House were happy, too. “Now DiSalle won’t be able to raise beef price ceilings and blame Republicans for it,” chortled Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott, R., Mich., senior OOP spokesman on the controls measure. “That was the administration’s strategy-to put us in a position where they could blame us for high er meat prices.” New rollbacks have been banned since July 1 under the stopgap law which expires July 31. The Senate has voted in an eight months ex tension of controls to keep drastic curbs on rollbacks after that. Ex nemr agree, the Senate and House * w«t have to wortfout compromise rollback legislation.

Reds May Have Tried New Bomb By JOSEPH L.

The item quoted the official Chi nese news agency as saying a vol canic eruption occured on May 27 In Slnklag, a remote mountain walled region, twice as bigs as Texas, which the maps designate as China’s westernmost province.

Eisenhower or Sen. Robert A. Taft, R-0., would give President Truman a ‘close” race for the presiden cy in the traditionally Demo cratic South, according to Sen. Clyde R. Hoey. Hoey, speaking on the Na tional Broadcasting company's "Meet The Press” program last night, said that Taft would run qk well as any other man iR the South as a Republican except Eisenhower.” ‘Lots of business people would vote for Taft as against an ex treme man on the Democratic ticket," Hoey said. “I think Taft against Truman would be a close race.” Hoey said Truman can have the 1952 Democratic president ial nomination if he wants it, but added that it was hard to tell whether the president will be a candidate for reelectlon.

Bruno Pontecorvo, the British nuclear scientist who disappeared behind the Iron Curtain last Sep tember, is reported to be in charge of the Sinklang atomic operations. As far as the American people know, Russia has had only one atomic test-the one announced by President Truman Sept. 23, 1948. The theory is that Russia tested a model like the U. S. Nagasaki borpb Attlee faces New Crisis On U. S. Policies . By R. H. SHACKFORD . UP Staff Correspondent LONDON— m Prime Minister Clement R. Atlee, harassed at home by Con servatives and his own left wing Laborites, faced a full fledged new crisis in Anglo- American relations today. The possibility that the United States may reach a military agree ment with Spain brought the situa tion to the crisis point after dis agreements l on German rearma ment, Iranian oil, atomic secrets, the Far East and Atlantic Pact. It has been questioned for some time how much longer Attlee and his Labor government can hold on to power as the result of domestic difficulties. MAY BE TOO MUCH Those, compounded by a crisis in world affairs with the United States and growing anti-American ism here and anti-British sentiment across the Atlantic, may be too much for him. Britain has taken the unusual step of stating officially and public ly that It opposes any military al liance with Spain by any Atlantic (Continued On Page Five) Judge Proves Friend In Need City Judge H. Paul Strickland proved to be a friend to a soldier in the Dunn Recorder’s Court. Richard Harris, a Negro soldier from Fort Bragg, was halted into court for driving without operators’ license and driving with improper equipment. He pleaded guilty. The law requires a mandatory fine of $26 and costs. When the soldier explained to the judge that he had no money Judge Strickland explained that he had no choice but to fine him $25 or send him to jail. But. the Judge, a man who has great respect and admiration for the boys In uniform, decreed that the soldier should serve only one day in jail. He sentenced him to (Continued On Page Five) and has been busy ever since try ing to build a stockpile. NEWER, BETTER MODELS If she has now staged another test, It presumably means that Soviet weaponeers figure they have enough of the one model for present purposes and are working on newer and better ones. Guesses as to how A bombs Russia has range from 20 or 30 to an unlikely 200. The U. S. figure, unknown to the public, has been unofficially estimated at 500 to 1,000 or maybe a little more. If Russia has piled up enough early model bombs to feel free to go to work on better models, it Is bad news for the free world. There is, of course, another pos sibility—the Red might simply have been telling the truth. , DUNN, N.

FIVE CENTS PER COPY Dunn took its place yesterday with 15 other North Carolina towns and cities which made an enviable safety record of no traffic fatali ties during 1950. H. t>. ’Tarvia" Jones, engineer director of the Highway Safety Division of the State Department pf Motor Vehicles, presented tne towh With a plaque honoring Dunn TAT its achievement -tar "traffic safety during that year. TTie presentation was made to Mayor Ralph E. Hanna In the city clerk’s office shortly after 4 p. m. It was the first time since yM7 Dunn had been recognized for a perfect record in keeping down traffic fatalities within its cdet>- orate limits. ON HONOR ROLL In making the presentation, Jones pointed out that only four per cent of North Carolina’s in corporated communities had had no traffic deaths during 1950. The plaque, issued by the Nat ional Safety Council, listed Dunn on its honor roll in recognition of the 1950 traffic safety record. In accepting it.

After commending the city gov ernment and the citizens of Dunn for efforts in curtailing traffic fatalities, Jones stressed that safe ty is an individual effort. He then made two suggestions calculated to lead to continued traffic; safety in the community: I. Let the city set an example for the people by obey ing all traffic laws. “DEFENSIVE DRIVING” 2.

For a 24-hour period through 5 p. m. Wednesday not a single Amer ican soldier fell in death on the battlefield for the first time since the U.S. entered the war. Only a “very few” were wounded.

Driver James Lynch of Griffin, Ga., hauling a refrigerated load of fresh green corn from Elizabeth City to Atlanta, Ga.. applied brakes when the driver of a pick-up truck in front of him signalled for a left turn. Both trucks were going south on U. S. 301 at the time. ‘The right front wheel caught and locked,” Lynch said, “but none of the rest caught at all.” MISSES GIRLS The truck lurched to the right off the road, narrowly missed two girls who were sitting on a brick wall, then overturned at the west side of the intersection. One set of the trailer’s quadruple wheels broke loose and shot away from its mooring. Driver Lynch crawled out of the cab with only a minor scratch on his right thumb as a result of the accident. While he was worrying about the loss of his load of freshcorn, an empty tractor-trailer happened by. Lynch hailed the other truck, hired it for the trip to Atlanta, then sent it on the ffay with the load of corn. According to Highway Patrolmen N. O. Dickens of Godwin and R. C. Pridgen of Fayetteville, no charges will be lodged against either driver. Cause of the accident, which dam aged the truck to the extent of sl,- 500, was listed mechanical failure of the braking system. Lynch, who gave his speed at the time as 35 miles an hour, said the driver of the plcg-up truck gave the proper hand signal before mak ing the turn. no. ism The official U.N. report of to- j day’s conference said additional •» progress had been made, however, ] and solid agreement was reached *1 on two major agenda points:ft There was no explanation of the ’ “key issue” but it had been be- j lieved earlier that the United Na tions and Communist teams were i at odds over Chinese demands for an immediate cease-fire with guar- j antees for keeping it to be worked < out later. ISSUE UNSOLVED “At • least one major issue re- 1 malned unsolved when the con- 1 ference recessed for the day,” the ! ! U.N. release said. “Agreement on the key point is essential to the i successful completion of the first j phase of the negotiations.” The release said the meeting “re sulted in some additional progress i being made” and the agreement on the two agenda points seemed to indicate that things were going satisfactorily. But there was a suddenly alter- % ed atmosphere for the worse in Kaesong.
