"When wrongfully challeng ed, we should push to defend that integrity," May has been described by army officer witnesses as being persistent in helping the war contract .busi ness of a group of companies in which the Garsson brothers, Henry and Murray, were active. The congressman indicated yester day ho was willing to testify pub lically, if allowed to have his own eounscl and Rrantcd the right to cross examine and recall Witnesses.

His intention to urge another for eign ministers session prior to the ' Lnilcd Nations' meeting in New York, tentatively set for September 23, was disclosed at a press conference be fore he emplaned for Washington. Reviewing the council's work, | Byrnes remarked that internation alizatim of T rieste would be a good j experiment 111 international coopera i tion. Compromise Accepted. Byrnes said he had not hesitated ' to accept compromises on European ' I peace treaties because "if we haa not gotten a treaty we would have I had a clash that nobody wants. Therefore, we did not hesitate when ever there was any possibility o. I reaching a conciliation." I Concerning Trieste, he slated ' tiv. nations of the word have entere: <what is a great experiment that should determine whether is | is possible for the United Nations in a situation of this kind to reach :. solution. Byrnes said he would broadcast j in the United States Mnnuday night. Senators Vandenbcrg (It) of Michi ,gin and Connally (D) of 'lexas will : report to the Senate next week. Delegation Not Chosen. Byrnes said no decision had been taken on the composition of the American peace confcro'ee delegn I tion. He said he would discuss it [ with the two senators while en route | to Washington, and later will lake | up the matter with President Tru I man. Byrnes' plane roared down the j Orly Field runway at 1:55 p. m. I (8:55 a. m.) EOT bound for IceUfri I and then Washington.

Molotov Rejects f. S. Plan. | Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. ? Molotov refused to support a United' States plan for central economic | administration for Germany. This | proposal was barked by Fro'.ch For eign Minister Georges Bidault. in a ; remarkable ?.onccssion. when he | agreed to g > along with Byrnes if the | coal-rich Sam* Basin was not in cluded. ? I Molotov afked further time to study the condition ? endorsed by 15rit a'f: and lite U. S. ? that the Saar | be placed under French supervision i Byrnes then reiterated his offer to I merge the United .States occupation zone of Germany economically with any other zone. I The possibility that the British might bo willing to fuse their zone with that of the United States was seen it a statement by British dele atinn sources that their government was giving sympathetic study to the American offer. Negro Voters In G eorgia i Are 'Purged' Atlnntn. July lr,.?i/l't?Hundred-, of i'eg rocs who have registered for the first time are being purged from the voting lists in Georgia a szirit few days before the l)cm ? ratio primary. How many httndreds it is hard to say. Georgia had more than 150 small rural counties. Situations varied Irom one county to another. An ov erall picture while the purge is underway is difficult. Negro lenders estimate that 20.000 negroes have been challenged. Any citizen can challenge a registrant. The negro lenders charge a con spiracy. saying no white persons are being challenged. . I The hearings before board of rcg ' strars?which act as courts in these matters?arc going ??' in many counties. In some counties, few ne groes have been disqualified; in others, the challenged registrants have been written off the book; in c blocs p About 120.000 negroes have rcg '? istered to vote in Georgia for the c first time. This is by far the big,'est prospective negro vote any Souther 1 state has hern fr od with this year Yet it is only about 1 /f) of the total u ' registration. About one third of ^Georgia's population is negro. 1 WEATHER c I FOR NORTH CAROLINA. I! 1 Partl.r rtomly anil not quite :s I so warm tonight. Scattered I- i showers over east portion to I night.

Never-the-less, they proceded on their course, with the suggestion ' that the charter and the set up of | the United Nations itself might prove to be outmoded in the atomic age. These factors emerged after yes terday's heated three hour session i of the 12-nnlion atomic working i committee at whichr ; Heil Plan Rejected. I?The retiring atomic chairman. , Foreign Minister H.

The OPA revival hill, carrying a loir' list of price control exemptions, passed the Senate tit! to 13 early to day and went to the House. There a three day delay before further ae- I lion is taken appeared likely. Final passage came at i:5B a. in. EST on the 13th day < f OPA's e i lapse. Approval was obvious almost from the moment that the long roll fall of weary senators started si^ minutes earlier. Apparently amended far beyond the bounds which would permit it - acceptance by President Trum:>\ th one-year extension measure \va sen! to the House where it seemed likely to receive a quick push to ward a Senate-House conferee committee. There. administration leaders hope to rewrite it from tip to roots. >Ia.v Substitute Measure. Rep. YVolcott (R) of Michigan. top Republican of the Bank eg Com mittee. said an effort might be made to substitute for it the original ex tension bill Mr. T ruman vetoed June 2!). Wolcott said the first bill ap peared stronger than the latest Sen ate measure. . As it floundered through a sleepy Senate, the new measure would re vive OPA and restore price control ceilings as of June 30. It waived rent controls with the proviso that states take over in this field whert they have adequate laws. Price controls, however, would no' be replaced on meats, poultry, eggs butter, cheese, milk, or other dairy products, cr.tton seed, soy beans, grain, livestock or poultry feed, for cn any form of tobacco. Pe troleum would have no ceiling .is long as supply meets domestic de mands. Cost-Plus Amendments. Reinstated were some of the pn? |visions to which Mr. Truman ob jecteri when he vetoed OPA ex tender t>ill No. 1 on June 2!l. Those included a section giving f'ral say on the lifting of food con trols to the secretary of agriculture instead of OPA. which Mr. Truman said was tin "unsound split of au thority." It contained also what he j called "cost-plus" amendments for I .automobile and appliance dealers and lacked an addito'ral $230,000,00(1 in j subsidies he asked, j In cue major respect, however, it was more satisfactory to administra tion leaders than bill No. 1. The Stride put in a provision requiring .that producer.-, manufacturers, end | processors ceilings he placed high enough to take care <>' the average in crease in cost in their industry since 11910.
