Food Crisis Is
World's Worst
Hoover Makes Plea
For Conservation
NEW YORK. June 22—(U.PJ—For-
mer President Herbert Hoover to-
night called upon the United States
I and all nations not to relax In the
! battle to lick the world's worst fam-
ine and said that "we are In the
final spurt In this race with death.”
Hoover, honorary chairman of
President Truman's famine emer-
gency committee, told the United
Press that the race with famine
should end some time between the
middle of August and the mi/inn. of
September. —
He said the battle defbiltely
would be won if the "present co-
operation among the nations" con- "^'draw from the race
tinues, and if “we continue our
measures of conservation of food."
Preparing Formal Report
Hoover, back at his apartment
home in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel
after a bl< be-clrcling tour of fam-
ine areas and a side trip to Latin-
America, said he wus now preparing
his formal report to President Tru-
man.
We can set a period from the
middle of August to the middle ol
September as the end of this race
with death, depending on the coun-
try," he said.

Candidates Set
For Last Week
Of Vole Drive
Boiling: Climax
Drawing Near In
Governor’s Race
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Candidates wlU fire their heaviest
Masts in the coming week as the
governor’s race reaches a boiling
climax with a bloc of voters esti-
mated at from 20 to 60 percent yet
undecided on Us choice and stUl sub-
ject to sway by oratory.
As tile campaign goes Into Its
closing days, a survey of head-
quarters of seven of the nine Demo-
cratic candidates disclosed the be-
lief that Roy J. Turner wUl be In
•he runoff, but there were differ-
ences of opinion as to who the
oU man’s second primary foe would
be.
Candidates “Rated"
The surny Indicated the belief
that the second man would be either
H. C. Jones, Dixie Ollmer or Wil-
liam O. Coe.
The candidates themselves, or key
members of their headquarters
Matfs, were asked to rate the candi-
dates as of Saturday on a strictly
"hot for quotation" basis In an ef-
fort to get honest opinions.
Turner was placed In the runoff
b& each, and.only one rated him
second to Jones. Jones received two
votes for second and Ollmer one.
Two thought It neck-and-neck be-
tween Ollmer and Coe, one thought
it close between Jones and OUmer.
Picture Could Change
All were agreed, however, that
the undecided voters can still alter
the picture drastlcaUy, and the last-
minute barrage of stump oratory
and radio pleas wUl be directed at
that group.
As the campaign neared its end,
Turner. In a speech prepared for de-
livery at Tulsa Saturday night urged
large-scale development of Okla-
homa's recreational possibilities.
He said that, as governor, he
would direct the game and fish de-
partment, the state park department
and the highway department to
work with the federal government
and private enterprise to moke the
AlAte one of the outstanding recres-
~~Ntal areas of the nation.

Increase in Water Rates
Is Deemed Necessary
Citizens’ Group Agrees Funds Needed To Provide
Softening and To Maintain Essential Services
C. A. Bentley, city manager, said
Saturday that a citizens group
with whan he recently met had
agreed that It will be necessary
to raise water rates here.
The citizens group included E.
E. Nunn, Oeorge E. Young, Dr.
W. 8. Boyd and Oeorge Scott.
The city manager said that after
he explained the city’s financial
position the group agreed that there
was a need for the use of a soften-
ing agent In El Reno’s water and a
rise In the water rates.
Bentley previously had pointed
out that the use of a water soften-
ing agent would have to be stop-
ped because of lack of funds.
He explained then that this
would result In damage to the city
pipelines and would be costly and
Inconvenient to consumers.
The raise In water rates, which
Is expected to be Included In the
budget for new fiscal year beginning
In July, will provide funds for a
number of essential municipal ser-
vices which otherwise, Bentley said,
would have to be curtailed.
Bentley has finished work on a
tentative budget for the new fiscal
year.
The city councU will attend on
organization meeting Monday night
of a committee to gather Informa-
tion on the operation of a pro-
posed municipal hospital and
afterwards may consider the tent-
ative budget drawn by Bentley.
The budget is expected to con-
tain an as yet unannounced raise
for municipal employes which
Mayor Herman Merveldt has said
Is necessary If the most experi-
enced city workers are to be re-
tained.

Conferees On
OPA Disagree
Four Major Points
Remain Unsettled
WASHINGTON. June 22 —(U.P>—
The Joint senate-house conference
on the OPA bill recessed today until
Monday night In disagreement on
four major points.
The conferees agreed to give the
secretary of agriculture control over
pricing and decontrol of agricultural
products. .
Democratic Leader Albeit W. Bar-
kley of Kentucky told reporters that
the conferees were still In disagree-
ment on these points:
1. The creation of a recontrol
board to act on non-agricultural
products.
2. Decontrol of specific items such
as meat, livestock, poultry and dairy
products. The senate had voted to
end price control on these products
June 30.
3. The length of extension of
OPA's authority.
4. The amount of subsidies to be
spent in the next 13 months.
In Tentative Agreement
Barkley said the conferees agreed
tively approved the senate’s position
that, in general, price controls
■should be removed on any com-
modity as soon as supply and de-
mand are In reasonable balance.
OPA’s "maximum average price"
regulation— "MAP'' — is "out the
window," Barkley said, nils Is the
system by which OPA endeavored
to require manufacture of low cost
clothing.
He said the conference also agreed
to ellmlnute 'an amendment by Sen-
ator Scott W. Lucas (Democrat,
Illinois) which would have required
approval of the locul United States
district attorney before OPA could
bring slut against a business.
No Predictions Made
Barkley said tthe conferees agreed
to recess until 8 p. m. Monday in
order to give house members a
chance to confer on the points still
in disagreement.
He refused to predict when the
conference will complete work on
the bill, but said he hoped the meas-
ure "will reach the president by
next Saturday." The present price
control act expires at midnight
June 30.
Barkley said he had no Idea
whether or not the president Intends
to veto the bill.
European Peace
Conference Is
Again Opposed
Russia Rejects
Another Appeal By
Secretary Byrnes
PARIS, June 23—(A*>—Russia re.
Jected today another American at-
tempt to convoke the general Euro-
pean peace conference July 16 on
grounds that the conference of for-
eign ministers was not yet tar
enough along In its work, on Amer-
ican Informant said.
The ministers then decided to aet
next Friday as a deadline for work
on the Italian and Haiir.r, treaties,
and to speed up their activities by
meeting twice daily Instead of once.
Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov said he would be ready at
the end of next week to sixe up the
councU-* progress to date, French
Informant* added.
Byrnes’ Views Disclosed
U. 3. Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes appealed to the minister*
to send out Invitations now to the
21-nation peace conference, to keep
In session right up to July 15 If
necessary, and to let the larger con-
ference pass on any difference*
which still remained. British and
American sources said.
Byrnes declared that the ministers
were so near agreement on peace
treaties that there could be no
harm In sending out Invitations now,
an American source sold.
Byrnes told the ministers that it
they could not agree on the treaties
they should admit their faUures and
let someone else take over—the
larger peace conference or the united
nations assembly, the American in-
formant said.
Main bsae Deferred
By tacit consent the conference
did not consider the keystone ques-
tion ol Trieste and the Italo-Yi«o-*
slalia frontier at today's session,
which was devoted mainly to issues
of procedure, informants
It was believed that the ministers
were awaiting further development#
In Washington and Moscow on last
night’s private dinner talks between
Byrne* and Molotov, which were
followed today by a trans-Atlantic
telephone conversation between
Byrne* und'Presldent Truman. Mol-
otov was expected to consult with
Moscow.
Byrnes, reiterating arguments ad-
vanced at the council’s AprU-May
sessions, proposed that the ministers
convoke now a general European
peace conference for July 16. He de-
clared lliat time was short and If
they delayed too long there would
be no peace conference at all.
British sources said that Molotov
objected that It was stUl too soon,
that the ministers liad not yet
agreed on any peace treaty drafts
which would form the basis of a
peace conference discussion.
