Clay Reports
Sly Campaign
BERLIN, May 10—(U.R>—General
Lucius D. Clay charged today that
Russia's supporters in Germany
were conducting a sly campaign to
undermine the west German govern-
ment.
The American military governor
said in his monthly report for
March that Soviet emissaries had
buttonholed west German officials,
businessmen ana plain citizens to
preach the "dangers” of a separate
western state. These private con-
versations augmented public propa-
ganda blasts against the west Ger-
man regime.
Named in the report to Washing-
ton as sellers of the Soviet line
were Rudolf Nadolny, former Ger-
man ambassador to Moscow; Otto
Nuschke. president of the Commun-
ist-dominated "people's congress"
in the Soviet zone, and other east
German politicians.
Clay said that Nadolny denied
links with Moscow but certainly
"created the impression, whether
rightfully or not" that he was a
spokesman In the Soviet-backed
campaign to convince west zone
politicians and industrial groups
of “the advantages to be derived
from cooperation with the Soviets.”
Ada’s Industrial Show

Solution Sought
In Ford Strike
Negotiations Are
Starting Today
DETROIT. May 10 —i/P)— The
Ford strike idling 65.000 men—and
threatening as many more—was
carried to the peace table today.
On the sixth day of the "speed-
up” deadlock, management and the
CIO United Auto Workers sought
a solution together.
Their initial negotiations were
set for 1 p. m.
In keeping with other events of
this first major labor- battle In a
year in the auto industry, the
agreement to negotiate came yes-
terday with dramatic suddenness.
Young President Henry Ford II,
acting swiftly, accepted a proposal
for talks from President Walter
Reuther of the union.
The two acted as strike-caused
layoffs in Ford and supplier firms
already were mounting Into the
thousands.
A full 40.000 more Ford workers
face idleness within a week if the
strike is not settled. Ford has
wamed it may have to shut down
all Its 40 plants.
In agreeing to negotiations Ford
said his company assumed that
the talks would be ■‘continued until
this strike can be brought to a
close."
He declined two accompanying
proposals from Reuther, however.
Forecast Made
On Wheat Crop
WASHINGTON. May 10 —<4»>—
The second largest wheat crop on
record is still in prospect, the agri-
culture department reported today.
Its second forecast of the year
put the presently growing crop at
1.021.476.000 bushels. This is about
1.790.000 more than was predicted
a month ago.
Tlie department said growth and
development of the crop was fos-
tered by April weather conditions
in nearly all areas.
The estimate raised the possi-
bility of a wheat surplus that might
lead to government production con-
trols oil the 1950 crop.
No forecast was given for spring
wheat, but if this crop turns out
to be at about the same as last
year's 300,000.000 bushels, the total
wheat production this year would
be about 1.321.000.000 bushels.
The record Is 1,367.186.000 pro-
duced in 1947, when world short-
ages were acute.
There is a reserve or carryover
of about 300.000,000 bushels of old-
crop wheat. Thus the total supply
for the marketing year ahead, on
the basis of today's estimate. ■ would
be about 1.621.000,000 bushels.

Final Draft Of
Traffic Code
Is Completed
Speed Emits On
Oklahoma Highways
Would He Specified
OKLAHOMA CITy. May 10—</P>
—A final draft of the proposed new
traffic code fixing speed limits on
Oklahoma highways was completed
today by a conference committee of
house and senate members.
The speed limits recommended:
For automobiles. 65 miles an
hour daytime. 55 at night
Buses, 55 miles an hour, day or
night. The bill previously put the
top speed at 50.
Light trucks, 50 miles an hour
(formerly 45i. Heavy trucks, 40
miles an hour (formerly 35>.
Oklahoma now has no speed
limits.
Approval Necessary
The conference report must be
approved by a majority of both
houses and signed by the governor
before it becomes law.
Meanwhile, another conference
committee Ironed out house and
senat” differences over Governor
Roy J. Turner's bill raising the 5‘j
cent a gallon gasoline tax to 6‘*
cents.
Conferees agreed to exempt avi-
ation gasoline from this tax boost,
as written in the original bill. The
senate had voted to tax aviation
gasoline, despite protests it might
drive industry out of the state.
Committee Stands Firm
The committee refused to budge
on another controversial point, lim-
iting expenditure of the estimated
$6,500,000 a year to be raised by
the tax. to road surfacing, con-
struction of bridges or culverts.
Many members insisted that the
money be made available for road
maintenance.
Final drafting of the conference
report awaited a session with State
Highway Director H E. Bailey on
a technicality concerning farm-to-
market roads, due to be shifted from
county commissioners to the state
highway department.
Spray Campaign
Gains Impetus
Rotary Club. Will
Assist Jaycees
The first civic group moving to
assist the junior chamber of com-
merce in a "bugless" summer cam-
paign is the El Reno Rotary club.
During the Monday noon meting,
Rotarians voted to underwrite the
cost of the proposed new fogging
machine to the extent of $50 and
in addition each member pledged
a personal donation.
The total cost of the Todd in-
secticidal fog applicator is $2,000
and the Jaycees hope to raise the
amount through club and individual
contributions.
During the past two years the
Jaycees have sprayed alleys and a
portion of the yards In El Reno in
cooperation with the city govern-
ment and without cost to the resi-
dents.
This year, with the new machine,
it would be possible to spray the
entire city as the fog will reach to
the depth of the ordinary residen-
tial building lot. A one-man crew-
can operate the machine and the
city will supply the necessary spray.
The Rotary program, arranged by
Leo C. Murray, program chairman,
included a dramatic reading by
Catherine Reichert, a humorous
reading by Elizabeth Ozmun and
several piano selections by Clarice
Jo Imboden, regular Rotary ac-
companist.
Miss Reichert also sang two solos,
accompanied by Miss Imboden.

Major Threat
From Russia
Held Political
Committee Hears
First Witness
On Atlantic Pact
WASHINGTON. May 10—(/$»>__
James P. Warburg, farmer New
York banker and writer on inter-
national affairs, said at the sen-
ate's Atlantic pact hearings today
that the real threat from Russia is
political and not military.
"There has been and is a very
definite Soviet threat to peace."
he said. "But this Soviet threat
has been and still is primarily a
threat of Communist penetration,
of subversion and only secondarily
a threat of military conquest."
Early Approval Sought
The foreign relations committee
heard Warburg as the first witness
on a speed-up schedule leaders
have mapped out with the
aim of getting senate approval by
July 1 of both the pact and a
$1,300,000,000 arms-for-Europe pro-
gram.
This stepped-up schedule was
arranged after conference by Sec-
retary of State Dean Acheson with
Senators Tom Connally (Demo-
crat. Texas) and Arthur H. Van-
denberg (Republican, Michigan).
The pact would pledge the United
States, Canada and 10 western
European nations to mutual aid In
opposing aggression. Signed here
April 4, it will become binding
on the United States only when
approved by a two-thirds senate
vote.
Views Are Slated
Warburg said that If the United
j States intends to defend western
I Europe’s frontiers in event of war.
j then he would oppose the pact,
j But he said he would approve
I if this nation is "committed to
avenge and liberate, but not neces-
sarily to prevent invasion."
Though Connally is confident of
getting a favorable senate vote on
the pact and the arms plan, he
arid Senator Vandenberg have de-
filed by George Miller. Jr. I elded to stay on the job here,
Miller asked the court to assume rather than attend the forthcoming
jurisdiction in the case since Cart- J Big Four conference on Germany.

The high court was asked to en-
join Cartwright from determining
the sufficiency of tfre petition
until the court concludes its hear-
ing on the mandamus petition.
The right of the secretary of
state to subpoena witnesses for the
hearing was challenged last week
by a group of persons summoned
to testify by Miller.
Opinion Is Given
Attorney General Mac Q. Wil-
liamson informed the secretary he
could find no authority to compel
attendance of witnesses.
Cartwright made It clear, at the
outset, he saw no reason why the
petition would not ultimately be
declared vadid. Only 108,000 sig-
natures were necessary to put the |
question to a vote. The Oklahoma
Economic institute obtained 212,000
names.
Cartwright said his own check
failed to show how more than
30,000 of these could be ruled out.
The drys to date have protested
less than 5.000 names.
Cut in Spending
Viewed Favorably |waS
WASHINGTON. May 10 —</P>—
Democrats and Republicans alike
in congress threw support today
behind a reported recommendation
by President Truman's council of
economic advisers for a cut in gov-
j eminent spending.
Tlie council was said to have
held that because of unsettled bus- j OKLAHOMA CITY, May 10—(U.R)

city’s finances.
The senate yesterday passed, 24
to 11, and sent to the house a bill
permitting the city council to sub-
mit the revenue-raising proposi-
tions to a vote of the people.
Authored by Senator John Jar-
man, Oklahoma City, the measure
is expected to get rough handling
in the house. Five of Oklahoma

$12,500 Awarded
In Jury Verdict
In a verdict returned Monday
night by a Canadian county dis-
trict court jury, Georgia H. Eth-
ridge of Oklahoma City was given
a judgment of $12,500 for personal
Injuries in her damage suit against
the Texas company and Carl
Stamey, an employe of the com-
pany.
Trial of the case was conducted
Monday with Judge Baker H.
Melone presiding.
In her suit filed in the district
court last June 2. tlie plaintiff
sought a Judgment of $25,000.
The petition related that Mrs.
Ethridge and Jessie Kncrwlton, Ok-
lahoma City, were riding In an
automobile driven by Mrs. Eth-
ridge’s husband, Bailey S. Eth-
ridge. which was involved in a
collision eight and three-fourths
miles north of Lawton on Oct.
25. 1947.
The petition stated the Eth-
ridge car. traveling north on U.S.
highway 277, was approaching a
narrow bridge when a vehicle
owned by the Texas company, op-
erated by Stamey and traveling
south, collided with the Ethridge
automobile.
Mrs. Ethridge alleged in her pe-
tition that she was caused to suffer
serious and permanent Injuries in
the collision, and alleged negligence
on the part of the defendants.

Special Revenue
Bill Advanced
Responsible officials said the
economists went even further—to
suggest the possibility of cutting
some excise taxes and of delaying
six months a social security payroll
tax boost scheduled for July 1.
Each of these proposals got con-
siderable backing from the law-
makers.
But the final decision on which
way to turn in the face of obvious-
ly increasing financial pressure on
the nation's economy rests witli Mr.
Truman. Thus far he has refused
to back down on his repeated de-
mands for $4,000,000,000 in new
taxes.

Rinehart Boomed
For Appointment
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 10—(U.R)
—The house was expected to adopt
today a resolution booming the
senate floor leader, James A. Rine-
hart, of EH Reno, for any vacancy
that may occur on the U.S. dis-
trict bench for western Oklahoma.
A similar measure was unanimously
approved yesterday by the senate.
The resolutions urge U.S. Sen-
ators Earner Thomas and Robert
S. Kerr of Oklahoma to recom-
mend Rinehart to President Tru-
man for the district judge’s Job.
Judge EMgar S. Vaught, who now
holds the seat, Is 76. However, he
said he has no plans for retiring.
Rinehart, a veteran state legis-
lator, has been floor leader of tlie
senate twice, president pro tempore
once.
Farm Program
Stoutly Defended
TULSA. May 10—(U.R)—Secretary
of Agriculture Charles Brannan,
addressing a Jefferson-Jackson din-
ner here last night, said “ghosts
of the old Republican opposition”
can be seen among the foes of his
new farm program.
"Our opponents shout 'regimenta-
tion,' 'revolution.' 'wild scheme,’
•socialism,” he said. "But they
misdirected these same words—and
in tlie same excited tones—at the
social security act. the wages and
hours act, the securities and ex-
change act, the Home Owners Loan
corporation, the Tennessee Valley
authority and virtually all tlie farm
legislation or the 1930s.
"Protection" Foreseen
"If all the things they have
branded 'steps toward socialism’
were really so, we should now be
a good many strides beyond social-
ism."
Brannan insisted his "two-price"
farm program would give "realistic
price and income protection" to
farmers, yet would "serve the whole
nation."
The Brannan proposal, now be-
fore congress, would provide 100 per-
cent parity in price support, while
allowing farm commodity prices to
seek their own level. Brannan be-
lieves consumers would profit from
prices no longer propped by govern-
supports. while the fanner would
benefit from direct government pay-
ments.
Economic Equality Proposed
"If our own nation Is to remain
prosperous," he said, "farmers need
economic equality with other groups.
I do not say that farm people must
have exactly the same dollar income
as city people to have economic
equality, but I do know that 60
I farm dollars as c gainst 100 city
dollars is a long way from equality.
"In far too many rural areas,”
he continued, “the people are handi-
capped not only by too little in-
come but by lack of educational op-
portunity, medical care, good roads
and many other advantages that
have become necessities of 20th
century living.”
