Roberts The administration was mov ing today to halt inflation by making it more expensive to borrow money. The step came as Republican and Democratic leaders swapped “you’re to blame” statements on high I prices. Secretary of the Treasury Snyderj announced last night the Govern- j ment Is going to raise the interest rate it pays on short-term securities from 114 per cent to 1%, a move many economists believe will lead to higher bank interest rates, which in turn will take a lot of money out of circulation. In dollars, the move means It will cost the Government $12.50 to bor row every $1,000 rather than the $11.25 it now pays. Taft, McGrath Swap Statements. The action, which will go into effect September 15 and October 1 when some $10,500,000,000 in Gov- j eminent notes fall due, followed by a few hours a statement by Senator | Taft of Ohio, the Republican spokesman on domestic affairs, that the administration now has “tradi tional methods of preventing infla tion.” He did not specifically men tion the short-term interest rate, but he did say President Truman "can, through the Treasury and Federal Reserve Board, limit the expansion of bank credit and the creation of I more currency.” The Taft statement brought an immediate response from Demo cratic National Chairman McGrath that the “Democratic Party does not share the traditional Republican indifference to depressions.” Sena tor McGrath referred to the “sick ening crash of 1929 and the cruel Hoover depression,” adding: “Today the Hoover depression has become a nightmare of the past and most Americans have come to take for granted our present Democratic prosperity with production and em ployment at all-time highs. Possible Deflation Seen by Taft. “Apparently even Senator Taft has forgotten the Hoover depres sion or he would not now try to make political capital out of the charge that the Democratic Party is trying to avoid a repetition of the breadline and apple peddlers and bank failures and mortgage fore closeures that were the fruit of Re publican ‘normalcy.’ ” The political exchange served to make certain that the cost of living issue will be a prime subject of the coming presidential campaign. New Truman Blast Expected. President Truman is expected to issue another blast at the Repub licans for failure to pass his anti inflation program at the special session of Congress. White House sources have indi j cated Mr. Truman will issue such a statement when he signs the limited two-point bill which the Republicans sent him instead of his i own price control and rationing : scheme. Both the two points, if put into j effect, will tend to limit credit j just as the Treasury announcement I last night is expected to do. One provision permits the Federal Re serve Board to raise bank reserve requirements, thus causing banks i to be less generous in making loans! which have an inflationary* effect. The board has given no indica tion as yet what it intends to do on the bank reserve matter, assum ing Mr. Truman approves the bill. During congressional hearings, ooard officials asked for the power: to increase bank reserve require ments, but did not state how much 1 ; an increase they would order. The second power granted by the Republicans is the return of the one-1 third down payment and shorter in stallment periods for purchases of such things as automobiles, stoves and refrigerators and a fifth down cm house furnishings. A board of ficial told The Star yesterday the power probably would be used in about a month;’ after President Truman approves the bill. It may be longer before the buyer feels the difference in a retail store. Thus, it appeared today, three moves to contract or at least limit credit will go into effect about the same time—perhaps around October 1, a month before edection. Security Price Support to Remain. On one other controversial fiscal | move, the Government policy of supporting the price of its long-term securities, the Administration has indicated no change will be made. For months there have been re ports that the Government might raise interest rates on these bonds, paying 2’4 per cent, while some per sons have suggested they should be allowed to seek their own level without Government support. Another financial move expected shortly is a rise in the bank re discount rate, a move suggested by many Republicans on Capitol Hiil last week. This also would tend to make money more “expensive” to the borrower. Thus, less would be borrowed to expand business, for ex ample, and the effect presumably j would be to lessen the demand on scarce materials and labor. May Curb Bank Loans. The rise in short-term interest rates is expected to have this result: Banks will find the interest rate more attractive and they will be more likely to hold their bonds for the interest they will receive from the Government rather than by sell ing the bonds and using the pro ceeds to make loans at higher rates. The Government hopes the more attractive interest rate will cause the bankers to lend only to the most likely prospects among their customers and not to any one who wants a loan. However, since the credit moves are not expected to result in any perceptible change in the price tags of foods and other items in retail stores, the political debate can be expected to continue until election day, November 2.

Mr. Anderson, a Pima County sheriff’s investigator who attempted the rescue despite a wooden leg, had been lowered 500 feet down the mountainside to where, tired and frightened, Guy I. Rockefeller, jr., had huddled all night. Mr. Anderson tied the rope about tttifboy then gripped it about 10 feet above the youth for the pull up the mountain.

Ready to Reply Today to Yugoslavs' Complaint on Trieste »y th« Associated Pro** LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 10.— The United States was report ed ready today to give a de tailed reply to Yugoslavia’s i Trieste complaint, i A spokesman for the American delegation said American Delegate Philip C. Jessup planned to take the floor shortly after the United Na tions Security Council meets. The Trieste case was brought be fore the council last week when Yugoslavia charged the United States and Britain with numerous violatians of the Italian peace treaty in administering their zone in the free territory. Yugoslavia said the two Western powers had, in effect, already incor porated their zone into Italy by en tering into a series of economic and financial agreements with Italy. Both the United States and Brit ain took the position that they had not violated the peace treaty.: although they are now convinced the provisions regarding Trieste are unworKaoje. Reds Accuse IT. S., Britain. The U. N. Commission for. Con ventional Armaments will continue its discussion Thursday morning. Russia declared yesterday in the commission that the United States and Britain are wrecking U. N. talks on arms reductions. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Jakob A. Malik made his charge before the Armaments Commission in a scathing attack on the two western powers. He was particularly bitter about the United States, which, he said, was steadily increasing its armed forces while talking about slash ing armaments. This, Mr. Malik said, was undermining international confidence. Mr. Malik declared the United States and Britain already had wrecked atomic control talks, dis cussions on creation of a world po lice force and efforts to agree on peace treaties for Germany and Japan. Now, he said, they are saying that arms cannot be reduced until the peace treaties are signed, atomic | controls are established and the U. N. military force is set up. Manuilsky Joins Attack.

He said Russia had demobilized class after class of her troops, while the United States went ahead building up her strength. While the American delegation is telling the arms commission it favors arms slashes, Mr. Manuilsky said, military leaders in Congress are insisting that there be no limi tation on arms and that the atom bomb remain exclusively an Ameri can weapon. Mr. Manuilsky said the whole world knows there is not a single nation threatening the United States, but that it is the United States which is threatening other countries. Frederick H. Osborn, American delegate, did not reply to the attack. British Delegate Sir Alexander Cadogan, however, said Britain had learned a lesson about disarming without security.

The building is in the Soviet sector. The city government has author ized its food department chief, Paul Fuellsack, to look for added space. Since there was little chance he would be given offices in the Russian sector, it appeared he would have to open separate offices in the west ern sectors. Berlin already has divided police forces for the east and west sectors and rival trade union federations are divided along east-west lines. Actually East and West Berlin have been fed separately since June 25, when the Russians withdrew from the city’s four-power food pool. The Russians then announced that no more food from their sur rounding occupation zone would be sent into Western Berlin. Sought to Avoid Split. The Western Allies, resorting to the air lift to supply more than 2, 000,000 Berliners in their sectors, stored these stocks in Western Berlin warehouses. However, the Western powers still gave the city government's food ad ministration control over distribu tion of these stocks for Western Berliners. This policy was scrupu lously adhered to, an American spokesman said, “because we are in favor of unified civil government for Berlin and wanted to prevent the splitting of any department.” However, when the Russians an nounced their intention of trying to feed the entire city they moved into City Hall and amplified their own office staff to administer the job. When scarcely more than 1 per cent of Western Berlin’s inhabi tants registered to receive Soviet offered food, the Russians had a big staff on hand with little to do. But the staff did not give up its office space. Plans for New Regime Pressed. Meantime. German leaders In Frankfurt went ahead with plans to prepare a draft constitution for a West German government. This is believed to have been a major point of contention in the Moscow talks. The Russians have opposed such a government. A German leader in Frankfurt said plans are going ahead and “we won't stop unless the Allied mili tary governors order us to do so.’’ Representatives of the 11 states of the American. British and French zones meet in Bavaria today to dis cuss the plan. The United States continued to bolster its air arm in Europe. Seven Super Fortresses landed at Laken heath, England, last night, bringing the total of B-29 bombers in Eng land to 76. Another 14 are due in the next few days for joint training with the Royal Air Force. W. Stuart Symington, Secretary for Air, and Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg, chief of the United States Air Staff, fly to Lincoln and Norfolk today to inspect air fields where some of the American bombers are based. v Will Visit Clay. Tonight or tomorrow they will fly to Wiesbaden, Germany, which is United States air headquarters for Europe. Then they are expected to go to Berlin for talks with Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American military commander, concerning the British American air lift, which is supplying Western Berlin over the Soviet blockade. An American public safety official in Berlin said last night a protest is planned against seizure by Russian sector police of eight policemen from the western sector forces, most of them on “trumped-up charges of theft.” The arrests occurred since the Berlin force split into two rival factions two weeks ago. Release of Two Promised. The wife of one of two Americans picked up on the American-Soviet, zone border five days ago said the Russians have promised to release the pair at noon today. The Americans are Lt. Sherman S. Turner of Council Bluffs, Iowa, military governor of Bad Kissingen. and Roland Mason Meyers of Brooklyn, of military government at Nuernberg. British authorities said last night that Peter John Nettl, British news correspondent, who has been visit ing in Berlin, was ordered by Sir Brian Robertson, the British mili tary governor, to leave Germany. No reason was given for his ex pulsion. Hope for Met Season Raised by New Parley By th« Associated Press NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Arrange ments for a union-management con ference raised hope today that the Metropolitan Opera's 1948-9 season might not be canceled after all. The Metropolitan Opera Associa tion agreed yesterday to meet with the heads of 12 unions in an at tempt to work out a plan to revoke the announced cancellation. In announcing the cancellation recently, the association said the action was forced by new union de mands. The newly-planned meeting was requested by the union officials in a letter to George A. Sloan, opera board chairman, after a session of the AFL American Guild of Musical Artists. The guild's executive secretary, Hyman R. Faine, said Mr. Sloan had been asked for a meeting of union representatives and the opeia board to examine the “vital problem of the Metropolitan's 1948-9 sea son.” Mr. Sloan said later that he would arrange a date for a meeting when Charles Spofford, president of the opera association, returns here to morrow. The union letter to Mr. Sloan said in part: "We emphatically deny the im plication in your statement of August 5 that the lack of co-opera tion on the part of the unions is responsible for the decision to sus pend the 1948-9 season.” Pool Frolics of 1948 To Be Held Tonight The Pool Frolics of 1948, annual Dis'trict Recreation Department water show, will be held at 8 o'clock tonight at the Takoma Swimming Pool, Third and Van Buren streets N.W. The show, which is free to the public, will comprise a water ballet,: fancy diving, swimming contests, canoe and rescue board demon strations a^id a water polo game. An orchestra will furnish music for the occasion, and a teen-age queen will be chosen from 40 playground candidates. - I Army 'Captain' With Black Shoes Waits Sentence A Philadelphia man today was under $300 bond her$, awaiting sentence for illegally wearing a uni form that was partly that of an Army captain and civilian. Pvt. T. B. O’Bryant of No. 2 Pie-1 cinct related in Municipal Court | that he saw Ray Weedon, 25, col- ! Bred, sauntering down the 1200 block of Seventh street Saturday. Weedon, he said, was wearing: khaki blouse, shirt and overseas cap. replete with captain's and infantry j insignia. His trousers were regu lation, but he was wearing black shoes. He was quoted as saying he had donned the military clothing to obtain free Army treatment for a venereal disease. The treatment, according to investigating officers' testimony, was obtained at Fort Myer and Weedon was quoted as saying It had •cured” him. Judge Armond W. Scott found the man guilty. More than 350 United States mo tion pictures were shown in El Sal vador in the last year. j £<ZsUf fo ^i¥cUAC MORE HAIR THitA tAc 25-tyewt Proved Thomas Method Why lat thinning hair lead you to baldness?
