The vote was 47 tu 0, with Inti.' nations abstaining. Almost simultaneously the world security council announc ed that it would meet tomorrow to consider complaints involving Iran. Greece, and Indonesia. The complaints, providing tiic basis for the first major lest of the I'XO’s machinery to set tle disputes, \\ ill he considered at 111 a. m. HST.

American nl'iieials said. | The commission would have no power to compel the United States . or any other country to disclose an..' of its atomic energy production se crets or disclose how the bomb is i made, aceordin gto interpretations ! given by Byrnes. It.- responsibility I will be to work out ways ol keeping j atomic energy from being used rto— | struetively. It will be composed of represen- j tatives of the eleven nations on the j security council and Canada, am j will be responsible lo the couu, i i 1 for its work and policies. Shortly before the assembly session. Byrnes told reporters that he had not been urging the security council to delay con sideration of the complaints brought to it by Iran against Russia, and by Russia against Britain in Greece and Indonesia. Most of the London press has been reporting for two days that Byrne. : was bring pressure pressure for on lav. that Russia was supporting his views, and that British Foreign Sec retary Ernest Bevin would try to obtain immediate action. Byrnes said today that he had never mentioned the matter to any individual aim thiit the subject had never come up in any meeting of the five powers Vinson Sees Balancing Of Budget But “Labor Pains” Could Upset Hopes Of Federal Income Kaleigh. .Tan. 24.- (APT Secre tary of the Treasury Fred M.

Ship Trade Is Offered To Britain Washington, .Ian. i4.— (AID —The Ini ted States has offer ed Britain the use of eleven Liberty ships as a substitute lor the arrangement under which American troops are ferried home aboard the tjueen Alary at a tentative charge of $100 each. Government officials said the offer has not yet been accepted.

Shidehara Sees Gen. Mac: Prostitution Is Abolished Tokyo, Jan. 24.—(AD—Premier Shidehara conferred with General MacArthur today for more than an hour on undisclosed matters. There was no announcement from MacArthur's headquarters 'rein ing the meeting with the aged nob leman who carries out his directives.

The press also said the premier sought MacArthur’s views on a number of urgent measures. Among these possibly were the forthcoming elections, proposed importation ot food and other basic commodities economic reforms, and prosecution of Japanese war criminal suspects. MacArthur today ended a cen turies-old custom under which Jap anese families sold their daughter: into the slavery of prostitution.

Mr. Truman said he was always teady to talk to business leaders However, he added, the best tiling Kairlcss can do is send word that he accepts the While House proposal for settling the steel strike. Mr. Truman said he thought it was not practical to seize the steel in dustry at the present time. He also said that the striking meat workers will go back to work at their old wages when the government seizes the plants Saturday. If steels are eventually seized, the President ad ded, the steel workers, too, will have to go back at current wages. MANAGEMENT ATTACKED ★ ★ ★★★★★★★★★★ ★ * * * Experiment Is Planned In Marshalls 97 Vessels Will Be Included In Fleet To Be Bomb Target Washington. Ja* . 24.— (API — The Xavy raised the curtain to day on its plans for testing the atomic bomb agaii.st a great armada of fighting ships — an experiment expected to revolu tionize sea warfare. A miniature fleet of O' ves se,-. tanging from carriers and battleships, submarines and transports to an assortment of smaller craft, such as landing ships, will be the atomic targets in the vast operations starting in .May. The Laboratory selected is the anchorage of Bikini atoll, one of the northernmost of the Marshall islands, which were wrested from Japan by amphib ious assault two years ago. Vice Admiral Blanciy, head of the Navy's division on special weapons, ticked off for the Senate atomic energy committee these details of tlie epochal experiment, known by the code word "operations cross roads”: 1. fn the target fleet will he fifty operating ships—two air craft carriers, four battleships, two cruisers, sixteen destroyers, eight submarines, and fifteen transports from ''r the United States fleet, plus a Germany navy cruiser, a Jananesc battle ship and light cruiser, and 47 other craft such as Sanding ships. 2 The undertaking "is not a com bined or international operation, but rather a scientific experiment by the United States government alone.” The question of permitting foreign observers has not yet been decided. 3. The unnamed target ship "will be anchored and placed in a manner calculated to give effects varying from probable destruction to neg ligible damage in each type." 4.

The drive is being sparked by foes of proposals lor stern reg ulation of industrial strikes, and some ut these law-makes claimed the White House is not adverse to at least one turn on the griddle for struck employ ers. This new task developed as sc, - oral senators and representative1-; a*. \ocated speedy abolition nr cation of present laws giving the rebates to corporations whose did taxes drop below pre-war lev*-!. Sponsors of Ibis plan, includ ing one congressman with re ported White House hacking, disclosed a program for fre quent floor speeches upholding labor and criticizing employers for their position in the present strife.

Jail. 21.— ( AIM — The government promised tiie nation's housewives today that Federal seizure of mi im park ing plants will not move the ceiling prices for steaks and chops. Secretary of Agriculture Auicr ><m said all meat products will enn inue to be sold under present meat teilin.es after his department takes iver the struck meat plants Satur day. President Truman's decision to seize the meat plants, where 260,000 C IO and \FI. workers have been made idle by a wage dispute. stirred speculation whether the administration might resort to similar action in other major strikes. The White House had nothing to say oil that subject. Otherwise, the nation's critical labor situation showed little impor tant changes. However, the effort to resolve the wage dispute of 650, 100 shipyard workers by means of a compromise proposal were being studied, with the possibility of a decision during the day. The most important question for the women who do the country'.; marketing and cook its meals stil; was whether Federal operation of the nation's meat plants would v sfore a normal flow of meat to the markets. No one knew the answer to that one. The reason was that approxi mately two-thirds of tiie striKing moat men some 193,000 CIO union ists—withheld any pledge to the government that they would return to work once the plants arc in Fed ora! hands. AFL Inkers, numbering 70.non, have promised to be back on their iob.- Saturday "as loyal Americans.” Some CIO men were again l resuming work unless their wage demands were met. or un less their national leaders or dered them back. One of the lat ter said "present noiicy" dictat ed continuance of the strike, re gardless of Federal seizure. In tho shipbuilding wage on ;c. the CIO cut its demands from original 36 cents an hour to 20 cents an hour. This countered the 13 cents an lioui proposal offered for standard Me chanics Tuesday bv government l'ir;icurement agencies. SGT. WM. ROBERTS GIVEN DISCHARGE Kessler Field. Bilcix..

Pa. .Tan. 24. - (APT — A national wage policy was urged toda\ by President P>. F. Pairless, of I the U. S. Steel Corporation as the steel companies and CIO United Steel Workers turned anew to Pres ident Truman for a solution of their four-day-old strike. Terming wages ‘‘a national pro blem," Fairless offered a "proposal which I believe might open the way to a solution not only of the steel strike but for the other strikes that now plague the country.” In a nationwide radio address last night, lie asked the President to summon immediately leaders of in dustry for their advice on what wage increase this country "can endure without the danger of an inflation iry spiral." j The 175-member USW wage con - ■ nittee. on the other hand, asked Mr. I Truman to turn over a "billion dol lacs worth" of government-owi 1 steel plants for operation b> iwu viduals willing lo accept "in the in terest of the nation" his 18 1-2 cents an hour pay increase suggestion. There was no immediate comment from the White House on cither icn posals as the walkout of 710,00(1 steel workers threatened a para!' - ing tentacle toward other industiv ..
