Morrison tol the Russian people througha Moscow newspaper yesterday tha if they were really free they woul know the West wants peace an Soviet leaders are sowing the seed of war. Morrison's plain-spoken, 1,500 * word statement was published i the Communist Party newspape Pravda. In a speech at a Britisi Press Association luncheon Jun 13, Morrison had challenged Pravy da to print fully a statemen from either him or Prime Ministe: Attlee. PRAVDA ACCEPTED the chal lenge. It also published a 2,600 word rebuttal. The texts of bot the message and the rebuttal wer made public in Ilondon at th hour of Pravda's press run. At the same time Russia's nev English magazine, the News an nounced it would give space t both United. States and Russia journalists in its columns "fo the expression of ideas designed t promote friendly relations be tween our country and America. Morrison's statement to the Russians said: "You are told that we are war mongers, that in alliance with th other countries of West Europ and the United States of Americ 'Y we are arming to the teeth to at tack the Soviet Union; that w are engaging in an arms race that we are preparing for a ne war. This is not true, None of i is true." MORRISON SAID that in Rus sia there is "no freedom of speec and free access to knowledge o how the rest of the world live and thinks, which is essential t international understanding. "This ignorance creates, fear and suspicion of the motive of other peoples," Morrison said. Morrisn said e v e n Britis broadcasts to Russia are "artifi cially and intentionally jamme by your government." * * * "I WONDER why?" asked Mor. rison. "What has your governmen to fear? I wish it would follow ou practice - broadcasts in Englisi from the Soviet Union can bi freely listened to and the Britis Communist .Daily paper Pravda itself can be bought. Pravda wrote in reply: "In the U.S.S.R. freedom o: speech, freedom of the press freedom of organizations does no exist for enemies of the people, fo the landlords and capitalists over. thrown by the Revolution. No does it exist for incorrigible thiev- es, for subversive agents, terrorists and assassins sent in by foreig secret services, for the criminal who shot at Lenin.... 'U' Summer Orchestra Will Play Tonight Under the direction of Wayne Dunlap, the University Summe Session Orchestra will present a concert of "summer music" at 8:30 p.m. today in Hill Audito- rium. Highlighting the concert will be the first performance of Clyde Thompson's "A Summer Over- ture," and the soprano solo by Mrs. Carol Nielson Wilder in Bar- ber's "Knoxville: Summer of 1915, Op. 24."

Spotlighting soprano soloist Mrs. President Gives O.K.on Controls Truman Says Provisions ini Law Will Force High Prices, Hurt U.S. WASHINGTON-(kP)-President Truman reluctantly signed the new controls law last night with a blast at provisions which he said would "damage" Americans and force prices to "heights which we cannot yet foresee." The new law, which permits some price rollbacks and some in- creases, and eases consumer credit curbs, continues basic economic controls from last midnight through next June 30. HE PROMISED a fight for powers which were denied or curtailed, saying the nation's families cannot have protection against inflation until "Congress repairs the dam- age done by this new act." Senate Hears He said the section of the law covering inflation curbs is so bad dhe would have used a veto had it Fuie not been tied to essential powers to encourage production, channel materials to essential users, aid business and control rents.

The production stoppage at the Anglo - Iranian Oil Company's (AIOC) plant here was. followed within hours by word from Teh- ran, the capital, that the new talks may begin there this week- end. * *,. * OPTIMISM was the keynote of American Special Enjoy W. Aver- ell Harriman and the Iranian gov- ernment. Less than ten hours after Harriman's return from a flying weekend visit to the Lon- don government, the last barriers' to the talks were reported cleared away in Tehran. Harriman had got Iran's deci- sion to receive a British cab- inet mission and Britain's agree- ment to send one headed by Richard Stokes, Lord Privy Seal. Harriman's return brought on a special meeting of Iran's cabinet and oil board. Afterward, Deputy Premier Hussein Fatemi predicted the British mission would arrive in Tehran by Saturday. * * * PREMIER Mohammed Mossa- degh dined with Harriman to go over final arrangements. Fatemi said: "We are very op- timistic. The Iranian government has accepted Stokes as head of the British negotiation delegation. Harriman's sincere and friendly efforts have brought results that surpassed the most optimistic ex- pectations." The conferees are expected to try for reconciliation on a basis of British recognition that Iran owns the oil production and in- stallations of the AIOC under Iran's Oil Nationalization Act, but they should continue to be run with British Know-how and sales- manship. The partnership before nation- alization had been on a basis of royalties for Iran from the Brit- ish-controlled company. Couzens Hall Has Prowler Police failed to locate a prowler reported to have broken into Cou- zens Hall early yesterday morning. According to police reports, Hil- da J. Appleton, night clerk of the nurses' dormitory, said she heard someone in the basement and dis- covered that the rear door ap- peared to have been forced, as the lock had been sprung and splint- ered wood lay around the floor. Police investigation however un- covered no traces of the prowler, while the nurses slept peacefully, through the disturbance.j Fifteenth Session nds in Deadlock UN ADVANCE HEADQUARTERS, Korea-(A')-As usual, there was no report on the outcome of yesterday's cease-fire talks which lasted for two hours and 25 minutes. Before the meeting Communist and United Nations negotiators appeared ready to attempt a compromise on where to set up a buffer zone or admit that Korean truce talks have reached a deadlock. * * R u FOR THE FIFTH straight day the Communist delegation insisted RESIDENTS PROTEST-Headed by men carrying UN flags and banners, residents of Seoul, South Korea, parade through the streets in protest of the Red,-proposed armistice. line at the 38th parallel.

Asked whether Berzin identified Lattimore and Barnes as Soviet In- telligence Agents, Barmine replied that Berzin "spoke of them as our men." * * *0 LATTIMORE, now a Johns Hop- kins University professor special- izing in Far Eastern affairs, was a key figure in last year's Senate in- vestigation of charges -by Senator McCarthy (R-Wis.) that the State Department harbored Red sym- pathizers. In Baltimore, Lattimore told a reporter that any suggestion that he was ever "their man" is "pure poppycock." "In 1933 I had no contact what- ever with Russia," Lattimore said. He added that at that time he was writing a book called "Mongols in Manchuria," which he said was "savagely criticized" by the Rus- sions later as showing ignorance. BARNES, COMMITTEE records show, is a former correspondent of the New York Herald Tribune. From 1931 to 1934, these files show, he was secretary of the American Council of the Institute of Pacific Relations. In New York, where Barnes now works for a book publishing firm, he issued this comment on Bar- mine's testimony: "I have never been a Commun- ist, a sympathizer with Com- munism, an agent for the Soviet Union, or a willing participant in the kind of political warfare through personal denunciation in which Communists and ex- Communists and ambitious poli- ticians are now engaged." tailers and wholesalers get their customary perecentage margin over costs. Mr. Truman declared the price provisions would cause a rise in "ceiling prices for the manufac-' turer, the wholesaler and the re- tailer." He hit specifically at the prohibition against planned addi- tional rollbacks on live beef. He said it "makes effective roll- backs on other vital cost-of-living commodities practically impos- sible." 0 0 * Pr rce CeilingUs ordered for Durable Goods WASHINGTON-(IP) - The Of- fice of Price Stabilization late yes- terday ordered into effect new price regulations for thousands of manufactured consumer g o ods, machinery, textiles and clothing. They will mean price rollbacks for rsome and roll-forwards for others. The orders were among a score rushed out by OPS in line with the new defense production bill passed by Congress. The agency had suspended all pending price cutbacks and ad- vances while Congress debated controls legislation during July. Among the products affected by the new orders are radio and tele- vision sets, refrigerators, house- hold appliances, shoes, clothes, many building materials, chemicals and rubber products, cotton tex- tiles, wool yarns and fabrics and machinery. WASHINGTON-(AP)-The Ato- mic Energy Commission (AEC) may be making bombs so fast that the new storage space is needed.

J. Law- ton Collins told senators yester- day that the United States will have about 344,000 troops in Europe one year from now. This is 56,000 less than the estimate made last week by Sec- retary of Defense Marshall. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. - A United Nations subcommittee re- commended last night the crea- tion of permanent machinery to plan and direct economic war against future aggressors. * * * PARIS-Sweden and Portugal have joined Britain and Ireland in renouncing further Marshall Plan dollar aid, William C. Fos- ter, European economic aid ad- ministrator, disclosed yesterday. MILAN, Italy-A Roman Catho- lic priest declared solemnly last night that he would marry the young American girl who followed him to Italy determined to be- come his wife. Until then, Luciano Negrini, a 43-year-old former Italian mis- sionary to China, had held that his priestly vows would not permit him to marry tall, blonde Claire Young of Chicago.

AEC Chairman Gordon Dean was asked by reporters at a news conference to what sites the re- port referred, in addition to an- nounced new production projects such as the Savannah River Proj- ect in Georgia. Indicating that this reference in the report wasn't confined to production and test sites, Dean added that "for instance, we don't announce where we store our bombs." So far as is known, all finished weapons have been stored at se- cret places in the United States since the first three bombs were produced in 1945. The progress not only in produc- tion but in continued improvement also was pointed up by the state- ment of AEC officials that tests of new weapons will be "much more frequent" - weapons which the officials described as having a "bigger bang." The report said, in a conserva- tive tone, that they are "several times more powerful than the Hi- roshima and Nagasaki weapons." This, it was explained, was one of the reasons for having more than a single proving ground, with one opened last winter at French- man's Flat, Neb., and the other test area at Eniwetok Atoll in the Cen- tral Pacific. report to gress. the President and Con:- * * * U. S. Breaks Trade with CzechReds WASHINGTON-(R)-The Uni- ted States served notice last night that it is breaking off contract trade relations with Communist Czechoslovakia, where Associated Press Correspondent William N. Oatis was recently sent to prison for ten years. The action will end American tariff concessions for Czech goods and Czech concessions on Ameri- can exports. State Department officials said, a proclamation by President Tru- man would formally end the con- cession arrangements at a date yet to be speciied. The State Department, announc- ing that this government "has' determined to withdraw" trade benefits from Czechoslovakia, also disclosed the United States has asked nations belonging to a world wide "General Agreement on Tar- iffs and Trade" (GATT) to ap- prove termination of all obliga- tions existing between the United+ States and Czechoslovakia under that agreement. These steps will not bar trade between the two countries but will' deny to Czechoslovakia the com- petitive advantages it has enjoyed in American markets through tar-' iff concessions and the trade prac- tices required by GATT. One Third Fail Draft Exams WASHINGTON -(JP)- Selective Service reported today that 38 per cent of the college students who took the first draft aptitude test flunked it. But 40 per cent of the poorer students who would not have rat- ed consideration for draft defer- ment on the basis of their show- ing in the classroom got by the test with scores of 70 or better. In the upper portions of classes, the percentage of passing grades was 75. * * * that a 121/2 mile wide buffer zone be centered along the 38th paral- lel. The U.N. delegation again sought to establish a 20-mile de- militarized zone along the present, battle line, from 20 to 35 miles farther north. The commander of Red Chi- na's forces in Korea, Gen. Penk Teh-Huai, warned that U.N. troops would be at a disadvant- age if armistice talks were bro- ken off. Peng's. statement followed a speech by Gen. Chu Teh, Com- mander in Chief of Chinese Red armies, who expressed "constant hope" for peace in Korea but charged "imperialist countries do not want peace." * * * AFTER Tuesday's meeting Brig. Gen. William Nuckols, Chief U.N. spokesman, told correspondents the "area of disagreement has neither broadened nor narrowed," since last Thursday when the buffer zone issue was first considered. Two compromise possibilites have been speculated upon at gd- vance headquarters. One was for Communist ac- ceptance of the Allied position provided there was an immed- iate cease-fire a! ead of agree- ment on all terms of an arm- istice. The other was that the Allies could draw back to a defensible line which would run two to 10 miles south of the 38th parallel in the west but six to eight miles north of that old political boun- dary in central and eastern Korea. Even if an agreement should be finally worked out on the buffer zone, tough bargaining still lay ahead for the negotiators. The third agenda item on th conference calls for designation of a supervisory international body to see that rules of the cease-fire are being observed. It could turn into even more of a stumbling block than the buffer zone issue. Israel Election Show Labor Party Return TEL AVIV, Israel- ()- Latest official tabulations from Israel's general elections showed last night that the Labor Party Mapai, led by Premier David Ben-Gurion, will re- turn with approximately the same number of deputies in the second Hebrew parliament as it had in the first-46. The total number in the parlia- ment is 120. A second big party emerged for the first time-the right-wing gen- eral Zionist party led by former Trade Minister Perez Bernstein. The general Zionists will enter the new parliament with about 20 deputies against seven i the old body. With returns lacking from only 20 of the country's 1,500 precincts, Ben-Gurion's goal of forming a stable left-to-center government seems unlikely to be reached be- cause the Mapai, with other left- to-center groups, will be unable to muster the necessary 51 per cent of the Knesset (parliament).

The bureau in Willow Run, which is open 24 hours a day, com- prises seven employes. It can be reached by dialing 3YP and ask- ing the operator for 2632. There In regard to the qualifications of a weatherman, Williams said, "He should have 2 years of college edu- cation which includes mathema- tics and physics."

Many reported that they had not even bothered to check on the results of their scores. Bob Lewis, '52, expressed the passive attitude of several men when he said, "If I passed it, I passed it.

Complaints like this about some draft boards showing prejudice against college students have been received by the American Coun- cil on Education. * * * terday that Company of the Central Paper Muskegon, Michigan t A 7WA TnlPTri'V of tin- infn-
