Conference May
Fail To Settle
Balkan Dispute
Observers Believe
Agreement on Peace
i Treaties Unlikely
LONDON, Sept, 28—<U.R)-Hopes
of ending the Balkan deadlock at
tire current Big Five conference
faded today and Informed obser- :
vers looked for adjournment Mon-
day or Tuesday without agree-
ment on peace treaties for south-
east Europe.
Only an 11th hour concession by
Russia or France can reopen the
Balkan talks, informants said. Rus-
sia Insists that France and China
be excluded from the treaty talks.
China Is willing, but France re-
fuses.
British Foreign Secietary Ernest
Bevin gave the llpoff on the
stalemate last night in addressing
a political meeting in Wandsworth.
"It Is better to adjourn for con-
sideration than to quarrel," he
said.
_ Russia Is Sensitive
British diplomatic correspondents
were told to expect the conference
to break up Monday or Tuesday
with the final meetings devoted to
the ticklish problem of agreeing on
protocol and the wording of the
final communique.
These tasks were before the for-
eign ministers' council lor today's
session, but their completion easily
may take several days Inasmuch as
agreements must be reached unan-
imously.
Soviet sources strongly denied
hints that Foreign Commissar V.
M. Molotov lntopds to leave before
the other ministers. Kusiu is ex-
tremely sensitive over the word-
ing of official documents and the
preliminary drafting sessions have
been difficult.
The Russians undoubtedly were
on guard against any suggestion
of a Soviet defeat in the^llplo-
matic bargaining field. partTmlar-
ly concerning their efforts to gain
a voice in the Mediterranean and
substantial Italian reparations.
.Strang Stand Explained
A responsible American source
explained the United States' strong
stand against Italian reparation
payments at this time with an as-
sertion that America has ixiured
more titan a billion dollars Into
Italy.
U. S. Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes was said to have main-
tained at an early session of the
Big Five conference that the
United States In fact would be
paying Italian debts if reparations
were allowed at this time.
Russiu has asked $600,000,000
reparations from Italy, and Yugo-
slavia had sought $1.500.000.000. Hud

reported today that four-fifths of
the two and one-quarter million
men of its crack home army,
which a month ago stood fanutical-

With this end of Japanese mili-
tarism. dictatorial oppression was
ending too as General Douglas
MacArthur ordered the abolition
of Japan's traditional censorship
of newspapers, radio, motion pic-
tures, mail and communications.
The order gave Japan a free
press for the first time and took
effect immediately. Three Tokyo
newspapers resumed selling edi-

had banned because Urey carried

the situation here is one that re-

District Court Trial
Ordered for Forgery
Actual Walkout
Of Oil Workers
Starts in State
Building Employes
End Strike In
New York City
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Actual strike of oil workers got
underway in Oklahoma Saturday
when about 70 employes ol the
Sinclair Prairie Oil company
teased work at Kiefer, boom day
center of the famous Olenpoal
producing area, 21 miles south of
Tulsa.
R. G. Scott, district superintend-
ent for the company, said that
cessation of work shut down pro-
duction in his district as well as
halting repressuring operations.
Approximately 2.000 barrels of
oil per day are produced from an
estimated 600 wells operated by
his company there, Scott said.
A strike of 15,000 building em-
ployes in New York City was end-
ed by compliance of both sides
with Governor Thomas E. Dewey's
request for arbitration. Approxi-
mately 397.000 were on strike over
the nation.
Truman May Appeal
About 38,000 idle in a 20-day
strike of Westlnghouse Electric
corporation "white collar" workers
at Pittsburgh, Pa., and in five
other eastern states may return
to work on recommendation of
their union officials who said the
company had agreed to resume ne-
gotiations within 24 hours.
President Truman was reported
to be considering a personal ap-
peal to the CIO Oil Workers In-
ternational union and petroleum
Industry representatives to halt
strikes now Involving 40,000 in
nine states.
But C. A. Knight, Port Worth,
Tex., union president disclosed his
group would be willing to settle for
a flat 35 cents an hour Increase,
slightly less than the 30 percent
rate increase demanded. Industry
had offered 15 percent.
Knight made his announcement
to reporters as the afternoon ses-
sion of the oil Industry concilia-
tion conference convened.
He said he had made the offer
to the nine major producing com-
panies participating in the con-
ference and had discussed it with
the Texas company.
Offer Unchanged
Knight said that the Texas com-
pany, however, had not raised its
previous offer of a 15 percent
wage increase.
Knight said that the union
should have 38.1 cents an hour to
provide its members with .52 hours
pay for 40 hours work per week.
Production workers now receive
an average of $1.27 an hour in the
oil Industry.
At the morning conference ses-
sion, Secretary of Labor Lewis B.
Bchwellenbach asked the compan-
ies und the union to make what-
ever concessions were necessary
to settle the dispute quickly.
Bchwellenbach offered no com-
promise solution to settle the con-
troversy. But, lie said, the safety
and welfare of the nation and Its
military position require a quick
resumption of production.
Fred Harrison, 26, of Hinton,
eharg"d with se:ond degree for-
gery, wras bound to district court
for trial under $1,000 bond after
a preliminary hearing was con-
ducted before Judge Roy M. Fau-

Oeneral George S. Patton was re-
ported today to have begun a dras-
tic shakeup in the Bavarian civil
government as soon as lie return-
ed from a conference with General
Dwight D. Eisenhower.

quarters In Bavaria, where he is

mand appearance before Eisen-
hower at Frankfurt to explain his
ixjllcy of keeping certain Nazis in

ters here that Friederlch Schaef-
fer, leader of the people's party
in Bavaria, had been removed
from a high government office.
Schaeffer tried to resign two
weeks ago on the grounds that
Patton lacked confidence in him.
The offer was based on disfavor
he aroused by appointing several
Nazis to key positions.

ian setup within a week.
