U. S. Arranging Talksi With Britain, Canada On Sharing Atom Data ly the Associated Press A series of "exploratory” talks Is being arranged to attack the controversial problem of what atomic information the United 8tates should share with Britain and Canada. President Truman announced yesterday that the discussions would be aimed at setting up long range co-operation among the three World War II atomic part ners in a couple of highly im portant fields: The exchange of scientific and technical information. The supplying of raw materials. The President's statement, de livered to his weekly news con ference, noted that atomic ar rangements made in January, 1948, with Britain and Canada are "limited in scope and dura tion.” Now, he said, it is “neces sary to consider the future.” Uranium Pact Expires Soon. One agreement, involving the sharing of the Belgian Congo’s uranium supply, reportedly will expire within the next few, months. The United States now Is largely dependent on the Congo and Canada for its supplies of uranium — the material that makes the A-bomb work. Mr. Truman’s statement was his first public utterance on atomic energy since the secret Blair House conference July 14, at which the issue of sharing in formation first was discussed by top State, military, congressional and atomic leaders. It was at that conference that the question of the President act ing on his own was raised—re sulting in a storm of congressional i opposition. Reassures Congress. The President yesterday reas sured the lawmakers that this Nation will take no step toward sharing atomic secrets without congressional consent. “I wish to emphasize that these exploratory conversations do not Involve making agreements with, or commitments to. the British and Canadians on these ques tions,” Mr. Truman said. "They involve having talks with the Brjfifc and Canadians prior to fuaHF consultation with the CongsK. In these consultations with the Congress we shall have to decide together what course of action it is wisest to take.” The President earlier had sent much the same assurance to Con gress through Secretary of State Acheson, after lawmakers had in sisted that the atomic energy law Ibars any one frQBLJ&dUgK-MOJE >efrets to any counter, -however friendly, without legislative ap proval. Asked About "Gloomy” Meeting. Reporters asked Mr. Truman why the atmosphere around the presidential residence was "so gloomy” the night of the closely j -gUjBiTfrfl meeting qtjqp /Officials. I • MtSi'Xkuman replied* that It’s a gloomy subject. He repeated the words. He said an atomic explo sion is something we all dread. "I never want to have to use it again," he added referring to his decision to drop the bomb on Japan. He gave reporters permis sion to quote these words. A Foreign Office official in Lon don said the British will be ready to take part in the exploratory dis cussions. At Ottawa, a spokesman said Canada also will be prepared for such talks. Senator McMahon, Democrat, of Connecticut, chairman of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, said he was glad Mr. Truman had "clarified the situa tion.” The forthcoming discus sions, he said, "are of very great importance to the orderly de-i velopment of atomic energy.” Had Access to Bombs. In his news conference state ment, Mr. Truman pointed out that Canada and Britain had wide access to the American atomic bombs developed during the war and that both now are engaged in atomic enterprises of their own. Britain, which recently an nounced her intention of produc ing bombs, has been reported highly resentful of the fact that the 1946 atomic energy law closed the door to all but a few fields of atomic co-operation. Secrecy surrounds the current understanding between the United States, Britain and Canada for sharing the raw material for atomic energy production. Mr. Truman gave no indication of what share of the uranium bearing ore produced outside Rus sian-controlled areas might be coming to the United States, the biggest present user of the ma terial. The chief source of uranium, the material used in producing nuclear fission, is pitchblende. Of the three known major areas where this uranium-bearing ore exists, two are accessible to the three nations—deposits in the Bel gian Congo and in Canada. The third major source is in Czecho slovakia, a Russian satellite na tion. Uranium mineral deposits also were discovered long ago in another Russian area, near Tjuja Mujun in Eastern Turkestan, be longing to the U. S. S. R. U. S. Has Uranium Deposits. The bulk of the Belgian Congo supply comes from the Shinkolbwe mines. Two years ago there were reports, not officially confirmed, that production from that mine in the Katanga Province of the Congo was running about 10,000 tons of ore a year. In Canada, the primary pitch blende deposit is in the region of Great Bear Lake, the District of Mackenzie. Although original dis covery of the mineral was made in 1900, substantial production was not developed until 1930 when the El Dorado mine went into oper ation. In the United States, uranium bearing ore exists In several West NEW YORK.—INJURED CREWMAN TRANSFERRED AT SEA— Barney H. Staneete, 53, an injured member of the crew of the fishing vessel Bright Moon, yesterday was pulled aboard a Coast Guard helicopter for transfer to a hospital. The transfer was made 32 miles southeast of Ambrose Lightship. Mr. Staneete, suffering from a leg fracture, was picked up from a life raft trailed aft of the fishing vessel.

More Spent on White Students Under Segregation, Study Shows In States with segregated schools, white children get an education almost twice as expensive as that • for Negroes, the Office of Educa tion said today. The agency released a study of 1945-1946 enrollments in the 17 States and the District, where segregation of white and colored pupils is practiced. It said the average expense for each white pupil in daily attend ance was $104.66 a year and for each colored pupil, $57.57, during 1945-1946. The District spent far above the average for both white and colored schools, the report said. During the period covered, $190.36 was spent on each white pupil and $140.42 on each colored pupil. Maryland spent $130,40 per white pupil and $110.66 per xol orett "pupil, rtw sepert»-$aid.! fir fefgSk, $9'S6Kv?afs*fiCor $adi white' pupil■ and $77.20 "for each colored student. School officials here pointed out that the study was based on fig ures three years old and said they felt the picture in Washington had changed somewhat since then. A breakdown of , expend itpfs per pupil on a racial basis isjn^t made by the District school offi cials, however, and they said that just how much was spent per colored pupil and per white pupil at present v/as not available. Since 1945, a period when construction was at a standstill, new schools for colored pupils have been built which undoubtedly w'ould change1 the figure given by the report, it was asserted. The State with segregated schools which came nearest to the amount of money spent per pupil by the District was Missouri, which spent $133.35 per colored pupil and $137.68 per white pupil. West Virginia spent $111.47 per colored pupil and only $100.63 per white pupil. Mississippi spent a low of $14.74 each year for each colored pupil and $75.19 for each white pupil. The report stated that 44 per cent would have to be added to Negro teachers’ salaries, 80 per cent to all current expenses and] 420 per cent to plant and equip ment values to equalize the colored schools, dollar for dollar, with the white schools in the States. In addition, the report added, about a third more than what is now spent for white schools would have to be added Tor, All. schools in these States to hrihK the aver ages for both up to the United States average for 1945-46. Here again, the District comes off statistically better than 17 States which also have segregated school systems. The District spent $17!>.94,per pupil, colored and white, per year. The average for the Ubitecf States is $144.62. Eight States, all wlth non-segregated systems, spent more per pupil than the DisaiC^ with New Jersey leading with $223.40 and New York not far behind with $223.36. Mississippi spent only $47.49 per pupil, colored and white, to bring up the rear. j ern areas, notably in Colorado, and the Atomic Energy Commis sion is encouraging exploration for richer deposits. The amount of raw pitchblende ore required to produce one pound of uranium is a secret. However, Chairman David Lilienthal of the Atomic Energy Commission has1 said that the industry is one in which '‘the material goes in in tons and comes out in teaspoon fuls.” Funeral Services Today For Charles R.

Gas Rate Hearing Recess Dims Chance Of Quick 7% Boost The Public Utilities Commission hearing on the Washington Gas Light Co.'s application to increase gas rates to District consumers by 7 per cent will be in recess for at least four weeks. Chairman James H. Flanagan of the PUC recessed the hearing yesterday, after the gas company presented its case for a rate in crease to produce $900,000 a year in additional operating revenues. Adjournment of the session at the District Building subject to recall of the commission, for not less than four weeks dashed the hopes of the gas company to get the increase effected by August 15. To Prepare Cross-Examination. The recess is for the purpose of preparing for cross-examination and presentation of additional evidence. William A. Roberts, counsel for the Gas Consumers and Independ ent Appliance Dealers, who are intervening in the case, said he wished to submit a Questionnaire to the company, delving deeper into its financial set up in con nection with preparation of his case. Also intervening is the Bureau of Federal Supply, and appear ances were entered by the Dis trict Industrial Union Council • CIO), the Fort Davis Citizens' Association, the Federation of Citizens’ Associations and the Restaurant Beverage Association. In an opening statement, Oscar Berry, representing the gas com pany, declared the company's rate of return on investments, amount ing to less than 3'2 per cent, is a "dangerously low rate of earn ings.” Facing “Emergency.” The company is in the posi tion, he said, of facing an emerg ency, and unless financial relief is granted, “its ability to provide service will be seriously impaired.” , “Higher costs of operation have i resulted in a serious decline in net earnings, which has occurred i in spite of an unprecedented growth in business,” Mr. Berry said. : He named the major item of l higher costs as wage and salary ; rates, adding that basic wage j rates today are 82 per cent higher than they were in 1939. Otis H. Ritenour, controller of the gas company, presented fig ures indicating the volume of gas sold has increased about 70 per I cent in the last 10 years while 'investment required to serve cus tomers has increased nearly 44 per cent. Figures Show Increase. The figures brought out that the number of customers’ meters had increased from 138,934 at the end of 1939 to 173,039 on May 31 of this year. Therms of gas sold in creased from 60,020,028 in 1939 to 102,371,776 in the last year, ac cording to. the statistics. L The company’s average invest ment went up from $22,791,376 in 1939 to $32,779,172 in the current year, the PUC was informed. Net operating revenues dropped from $1,734,925 to $1,106,318 dur ing the 10-year period, the figures indicated. - In its petition Tor Ihe increase, the gas company, pointed out the rate rise, if permitted, would be the first for Washington gas con sumers since 1942, when a 2 >4 per cent increase was authorized. All other changes in rates for the last 29 years have been decreases, it was said, and gas rates now are below the 1939 level. Request Held Minimum. Mr. Ritenour presented figures to show that should the company be granted the $900,000 a year in additional operating revenues, the rate of return would be increased from 3.38 per cent to 4.93 per cent. Mr. Berry told the PUC the re quest was for the “minimum ad ditional earnings possible.” He said the company thus hoped to avoid the delay resulting from a full determination of its rights. He said that in applying for the limited increase, the company was not waiving its right to ask later for a full rate proceeding if that should become necessary. “We cannot say whether or not it will become necessary,” he said.

Hawaii Legislation To End Dock Strike Expected Tomorrow By *h« Associated Press HONOLULU, July 29.—Legisln tton to end Hawaii’s 90-day dock strike by putting the territorial government in the stevedoring business appears set for enact ment tomorrow. CIO longshoremen countered with a call to spread the tieup to the Pacific Coast. A special session of the Ha waiian Legislature came out of a; closed session late yesterday with; Senate-House agreement on what it believes is a precedent-smashing' bill: Government entrance into a strike-bound industry without j seizing struck firms. The measure would simply em power the territory to start its own stevedoring business. Hiring of any of the 2.000 striking mem bers of the International Long shoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union would be prohibited. So would use of the seven truck firms’ employes and equipment "unless necessary.” Move to Carry Out Threat. ILWU stevedores, who struck May 1 for a 32-cent increase in their $1.40 hourly basic wage, re sponded quickly with a move to carry out their threat to extend the tieup to the West Coast. They approved a resolution call ing on all maritime unions—long shore and seafaring—to prevent Matson Navigation Co. from sail ing its ships from Pacific Coast ports to Hawaii. Matson is the biggest mainland-islands carrier. I The legislature's bill was labelled' "clearly strikebreaking” by Jack Hall, ILWU regional director. He said the government would be hiring ‘‘scabs.” There was no employer comment immediately. Legislators did not see eye to eye on the bill. House Speaker Hiram Fong and Vice Speaker Hebden Porteus, both Republicans, said the measure would be equally hard on union and employers. “The union will get no work and the stevedore firms will get no profits.” Mr. Porteus said. Democratic Representative Mi-' tsuyuki Kido called the bill “card staking in favor of employers.”! Hawaii Communist Probe Due to Open Next Week By th» Associated Press The House Un-American Activ-' ities Committee will open next week an investigation of reported Communist activity in waterfront and maritime unions, starting with the tlawaiian dock strike. The first witness will be Joseph Curran, president of the National Maritime Union (CIO'. He will1 testify Tuesday in a closed ses sion. A member said later closed hearings will bring before the committee a former Communist; who was in Moscow dur.ipg the late 1939s. The 'member -said this witness is expected to have infor mation on' international Commu nist plans to get control of the maritime industry. Mr. (iurran has agreed to testi fy regarding the activities of i Harry Bridges, head of the CIO International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen's oUn*Qn.> The Ha waiian strike, which started May 1, is under the direction of Mr.: Bridges’ union. Fire Sweeps Sawmill; Loss Put at $10,000 Damage estimated at approxi mately $10,000 was caused by a sawmill Are early today at the S. & F. Lumber Co., Inc., at Hall, Md„ on the Crain highway at Central avenue, about 15 miles from Washington. No one was hurt. The estimate was made by the owner, George E. Frisco, Landover Hills. The blaze, which firemen said may have resulted from a short circuit in one of two gasoline en gines in the sawmill, destroyed che frame building as well as a small quantity of lumber adjacent to it. Two other buildings, about 30 feet away, were unharmed. The nearest available water supply was a stream about two miles away. The fire was discovered about 5 a.m. by an unidentified truck driver, who called police. Responding to the fire were the Hillside, Capitol Heights, Boule vard Heights, Bowie, Clinton, Up per Marlboro, Riverdale Heights. Glenn Dale, West Lanham Hills and Landover Hills Volunteer Fire Departments.

By a vote of 41 to 38. it has overruled the Senate Appropriations Committee, which earlier had voted to restore $2,500,000 of the com mission's 1950 budstet request that was slashed by the House. Consequently, the commission' must trim its staff by 500 em ployes and curtail its examining: and job placement activities. The Senate's action. how ever, has even more serious implic a t i o n s. ; Many Demo crats joined 1 with Republi cans in voting 1 to sustain the House cut, their com plaints being that the com mission is not doing the job that it should Yo,,n* be doing. Many Senators confide their belief that the commission is let ting the various Federal agencies ; "get away with everything in the book" in regard to personnel matters. Oddly enough, the Sen ate’s action will result in the agencies’ having even mare of a free hand in personnel matters, It's interesting to note that five of the seven members of the Senate Cicil' Service Commit tee who voted on the commission’s appropriations, voted to sustain the House action. The commission found the Sen ate's action especially hard to take, since it was the only one of the 28 independent agencies in the 1950 Independent Offices bill except the Public Buildings Ad ministration that: had its appro priations cut from the Senate Ap propriations Committee’s figures. TBA—Must dismiss 600 em ployes here.

Well, the next day we received a telephone call from a Govern ment girl who roundly berated us for "implying that Government girls are unkempt.” Before we could answer that nothing of the sort was implied, there was a dead silence on the phone. Finally, after about a 10 second pause, the girl spoke again. “Pardon me,” she said. "My hair just fell over my eyes.” * * * * , DELAY—The Senate Civil Serv ice Committee yesterday failed to take action on the general re classification pay measure for Federal employes, which would provide an average $125 increase. Committee members said dis cussion of postal rate matters and the postal pay bill prevented full consideration of the reclassifica tion measure. They said, how ever, the committee will take the legislation up early next week and predicted it will be approved. The fact remains that time is of the essence light now. and the committee's failure to act yester day put another crimp in the leg lislation's chances of enactment | this session of Congress. Meanwhile, the group did ap prove the postal pay bill providing a flat $100 increase for postal em ployes and the wiping out of tne first two grades. This would make the starting postal salary $2,850 a year, instead of the present $2,550. Also, the committee prom ised to act favorably within the next, few days on legislation to provide free uniforms to postal workers. * * * * APPROVAL—A Senate Labor Subcommittee today is expected to approve the House-passed meas-, ure which greatly liberalizes in jury compensation benefits for Government employes.
