This action, announced yesterday, was dictated by Congress, along with another move the State Department plans to take shortly, ban- ning the importation of most furs from Russia and Communist China. WHAT EFFECT the removal of tariff concessions will have could not be determined yesterday, partly because of the length and variety of the list of goods involved. Department officials generally were skeptical that there would be great change. It was taken for granted t since the Russians have a gove ment trade monopoly they continue shipments, even at hi er costs, if they decide they w the dollars the goods would br Moreover, despite the withdr al of concessions, thehactual t treatment of some goods will main the same. The reason this:. The concessions grew out the Reciprocal Trade Law, un which the duties on many co modities have been drastica reduced below the levels of t Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act 1930. But some goods, manganese example, were free of duty in 1 and are free now. Hence Ru can ship manganese on the s terms as formerly, if she so sires. SHE ONCE exported large qu titles of this strategic materia the United States but has ship none since last December. In another action disclosed terday b ythe State Departm the United States sent two m notes demanding that Russia s stalling on its overdue $11,0 000,000 lend-lease account and turn immediately 672 U. S. n vessels loaned to the Soviets World War II. Congress voted for the w drawal of trade benefits and ban on furs by means of ame ments written into the legisla extending the reciprocal trade p gram. Besides Russia, Communist tions hit by the higher tariff r: are Poland, Hungary, Bulga and Romania. Czechoslovakia be affected later, once the S Department decides on the ne sary legal steps.

Democrats Seek Price ControlHelp Republicans Hit PriceCeilings WASHINGTON-(M ) - Worried Democratic leaders sent out an S.O.S. for "grass roots" support yesterday in an attempt to turn the tide in the Congressional bat- tle over controls. Rep. Arends of Illinois, acting Republican leader in the House, promptly cried "politics" and said his Party would accept the chal- lenge. * * * OTHER REPUBLICANS took the House floor to denounce the Administration for waiting so long to invoke the controls authorized by Congress last year. Rep. Buff ett (R-Neb.) at- tacked price controls as an "eco- nomic narcotic" that merely deadens and postpones the evil effects of inflation, Chairman William M. Boyle of the Democratic National Commit- tee sent out a barrage of telegrams calling for rank-and-file Party aid in the legislative struggle. Boyle urged all members of the National Committee and State Party chiefs to stir up a wave of sentiment supporting "strong price control legislation without exemp- tions or weakening amenlments." * * . DECLARING THAT the Demo- cratic Party is pledged through its platform to take "effective action to keep our economy stable and prevent disastrous price rises," Boyle said in his telegrams: "President Truman and the Democratic Congressional lead- ership are entitled to full sup- port in this fight. Your views and those of other community leaders will have great weight with your congressional delega- tion. "Action is needed now as voting starts Monday." ON THE HOUSE floor, where the debate went into its second day, there appeared to be no clear Split on party lines over the issue of extending federal controls - either in stronger form as request- ed by Truman or amended to make them milder. Senators Differ On MacArthur WASHINGTON-(AR - Senators Kerr (D-Okla.) and Wherry (R- Neb.) debated about the campaign issues of 1952 yesterday and agreed that the ouster of Gen. Douglas MacArthur would be one of them. They spoke at a meeting of the women's international press club in a program which was televised. "The ouster of Gen. MacArthur will be an issue in 1952 because the Republican leadership made it one-which they will regret," Kerr said. "In order to preserve its peace and security policy, the Ad- ministration was compelled to re- lease Gen. Douglas MacArthur with regret." Wherry, in a warm defense of MacArthur's policies, contended that when the Korean peace talks open "we do not enter the talks as a victorious nation. We haven't driven the Red aggressor out or forced a united and independent Korea." RED E joys FIRST TO BEGIN TRUCE T U.S. Hears Oatis' Voice In SpyTrial Congress, AP Denounce Reds By The Associated Press The Voice of Associated Press Correspondent William N. Oatis, recorded during his trial on es- pionage charges in Communist Czechoslovakia, was heard yester- day by American radio listeners. NBC recorded parts of the Prague trial and flew the record- ing to New York. OATIS, condemned to 10 years imprisonment on Wednesday-the Fourth of July-spoke in a clear, steady voice. "It sounded natural, as a mat- ter of fact, much too natural," was the comment of Daniel De Luce, AP's Frankfurt Bureau Chief, as reported on the 15-min- ute program by NBC's Ed Haaker who had the recordings made. "It's most unusual for a man to try to hang himself," De Luce added. Oatis' voice emerged amid a me- lange of Czech spoken by the Com- munist prosecutor and judge and woman interpreter. The 37-year-old newspaperman was asked whether his behavior was unusual for westerners in Czechoslovakia. "No, it wasn't," he answered. "The fact that I found out that Imost members of the Western press and diplomatic colony were doing espionage, and for that rea- son it was difficult for me not to fall into it." IN WASHINGTON, Oatis' con- viction drew the wrath of Con- gress. Rep. Hebert (D-La.), speaking over the Voice of America Radio, said, "This latest moral depravity serves to warn free people again of the ruthless nature of Com- munism." Rep. Beamer (R-Ind.) intro- duced a resolution calling upon Congress to express "its pro- found indignation at the farci- cal arrest and conviction" of Oatis. Meanwhile, the Associated Press Board of Directors, including Ar- thur Sulzberger of the New York Times and John S. Knight of the Chicago Daily News, called upon all American newspaper to lend full support in Oatis' behalf. Red Students Protest Iran Oil Decision TEHRAN, Iran-(A)-A big bi- cycle brgade of Pro-Communist students demonstrating against the International Court of Jus- tice's decision on Iran's oil na- tionalization fought with mem- bers of the Iranian Labor Party in downtown Teran yesterday, and about 100 were injured in the melee. While loudspeakers blared such slogans as "Death to Anglo-Amer- ican imperialism" and "Death to the Hague Court," the cyclists sped in groups to various sections of the city, where they clashed with Labor Party members. The lat- ter shouted "Death to the Com- munists." Police wielding clubs, finally re- stored order. WHILE THESE bloody clashes were occurring at the capital, other Iranians demonstrated with- out violence against the Interna- tional Court decision at Abadan, big oil refinery center.

House wife Revealed as FBI eUndercover Agent, High Living GOLDEN, Colo.-(A')-Jeffer- son county commissioners are wondering if the truth has come out at last. They're studying a petition signed by 13 county road em- ployes seeking a pay raise due, not to the high cost of living, but "to the cost of high living." Rent Survey Completed; Await Action Their survey of Ann Arbor hous- ing conditions ready for the mail two investigators from Federal Housing Expeditor Tighe E. Woods' office packed their bags and left town this morning to con- duct another survey elsewhere on the nation's rising price front. L. M. Milam, one of the inves- tigators, said that he expected that the tabulated results of the survey showing the percentage of local rentable vacancies would be forthcoming from Washington sometime next week. * * * WOODS ORDERED the survey before deciding on a City Council request to decontrol local rents "voluntarily." The Council voted that if he did not do so, they would demand that he decontrol under a "local option" Clause in tie pres- ent rent control law. Decontrol of rents under the mandatory "local option" clause would allow no re-imposition of controls. If Woods acted "vol- untarily" at the Council's re- quest, however, reimposition would be possible at a later date. The Council has withheld fur- ther action on the question of rents until July 16 when the re- sults of the survey and Woods' de- cision presumably will have been made public. The two investigators spent a full week in Ann Arbor, contacting large property owners, local real estate dealers and prospective rentors whom they selected from newspaper advertisements. Milam said that he had received many phone calls and visits from distressed rentors who feared that controls would be lifted. DPA Outlines Steel Quotas WASHINGTON-() - The De- fense Production Administration (DPA) last night announced quo- tas of steel to military, foreign and American "essential" users - and left lean supplies for autos and other consumer goods. Defense - supporting industries were earmarked for 16,100,000 tons in the July-September quarter, out of a total estimated national sup- ply of 20,800,000 tons. Defense, atomic and export al- locations absorbel all the rest ex- cept 1,900,000 tons-less than ten percent of all steel products. WASHINGTON - W) - Secret testimony disclosed yesterday that a pretty, fast-talking Virginia housewife served for nearly seven years as an FBI undercover agent in the Communist Party in Wash- ington. Shetis Mrs. Mary Stalcup Mark- ward, 29 years old, a former Wash- ington beauty shop worker, now a housewife at Chesterbrook, Va. PART OF HER story was re- vealed in hitherto secret records of the House Un-American Activi- ties Committee, as unfolded in closed-door testimony on June 11. "It was tough," she said in an interview with the Evening Star yesterday. "You have no life of your own. Doing what I did means giving up everything except that. It was a 24-hour-a-day job, seven days a week." At the FBI's behest, Mrs. Markward said, she joined the Communist Party in 1943 and reported regularly to the FBI until the end of 1949. Mrs. Markward is scheduled to testify in open hearings next Wed- nesday after the House committee resumes its investigation into Communist infiltration of the de- fense industry. * * * HIGHLIGHTS in her June 11 testimony include these assertions: 1. At least two Communist un- derground groups, composed of federal employes, were operating TRIP LKS. in the nation's capital while she was in the party. 2. A secret Communist cell, known as "W-37," was set up in the Washington Navy Yard, but was dissolved about 1945. 3. Altogether, there were about 18 Red cells or "clubs" in Wash- ington. 4. Communist Party member- ship in Washington usually num- bered about 230 as "a conservative estimate." Ten-Vehicle Convoy Hits For Kaesong Allied Pilots Kept FromHighway TOKYO-()-Red negotiators were presumed to be moving south yesterday from Pyongyang in a 10-vehicle convoy, bound for a meeting tomorrow at Kaesong with Allied representatives to dis cuss preliminaries for a Korean cease-fire conference. Several hours after they were scheduled to depart from the North Korean capital, there was no word whether they actually had left. * * * ALLIED aircraft are not likely to pick up movement of the Com- munist convoy. An American Air Force officer said: "We are staying so far away from that road with our planes that I doubt that we'll get any word on the movement of the convoy. We are even keeping spotter planes out of that terri- tory." THE COMMUNISTS had allow- ed themselves sufficient time for almost snail's pace progress down the bomb-pitted Pyongyang-Seoul highway used by North Koreans in invading South Korea at the outset of the 54-weeks-old war. They were to meet at Kaesong, three miles south of Parallel 38, with three Allied Colonels for preliminary cease-fire talks. North Koreans captured Kae- song, ancient former capital, at the outset of the invasion June 25, 1950. * * * SEVEN DAYS of radio exchang- es ended yesterday afternoon with agreement opening the way for a possible stop to the fighting. Sun- day's negotiators will try to ar- range for higher level talks at Kaesong a few days hence. By their own terms, the Com- munists were to start at 2 p.1 (EST) Friday on a trip of more than 100 miles in five jeeps and trucks from the North Korean capital of Pyongyang. . As of 1 p.m. yesterday Allied pilots were under orders to keep away from the Kaesong high- way. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, Su- preme Allied Commander, also specified that a five-mile radius around Kaesong be observed as a neutral zone by his ground and air forces. The much shorter, swifter jour- ney by the Allied negotiators will begin today from Seoul, 35 miles southeast of Kaesong. If the weather is favorable, the delega- tion will go by helicopter-in spite of mild Red objections. If not, it will go by jeep. * * * THE COMMUNISTS, asked by Ridgway to assure safe conduct, did so but strongly urged using jeeps "to cut down the possibility of misunderstanding." United Nations patrols did not rest while the cease-fire talks took shape. An unopposed Allied ar- mored unit stabbed 12 miles north- east from Chorwon and entered Pyonggang. Another tank-infantry team, leading toward Pyonggang from Kumhwa, southeastern anchor of the triangle, was turned back at the Hantan river by artillery, mor- tar and rifle fire. Malik Starts VacationTrip NEW YORK - (A') -- Jacob A. Malik, who touched off the Korean truce talks with his June 23 "cease fire" speech, sailed on the Swedish liner Gripsholm yesterday for a Mrs. Markward testified was "approached" by an agent in 1943 while she working as a beauty shop ploye in Washington. she FBI was em- "I had no idea why he ap- proached me," she said in the interview. "I was not connected with any organization or groups. I didn't know any of these Com- mnunist people. "My only knowledge of why the FBI came to me was they ap- proached me as a loyal American." Even her husband, she said, had "only a vague idea" what she was doing until she finally told him in 1947. Mrs. Markward said she drop- ped out of the party in 1949 when she suffered an attack of multiple soslerosis and became paralyzed. But long before she left, Mrs. Markward said, the Communists knew that someone was report- ing on them to the FBI and several times she was accused. "I'm a fast talker and I always got out of it," she said. World News By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Francis P.

REHABILITATION PARLE Y: Injured Workers To Concern Group, Some of the perspiration-soaked workers had already turned from their machines and headed for the lockerroom at the end of the plant floor. Then, just as the first members of the night shift began to file into the workroom, the declining whine of slowing machines was suddenly interrupted by a scream of pain and the sound of run- ning feet. Another serious indus- trial accident had happened, cast- ing a financial shadow over some worker's family and depriving so- handicapped ,workers over 40 years old in conjunction with the Federal Security Agency, the State Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and the State Medical Society.
