GEORGIA SOVIET AGREES WITHDRAW RQM BULGARIA First Move To Clear Balkans PARIS--(UP)--The foreign min ters council agreed today on the multaneous withdrawal of all Hied troops from Italy and Red rmy troops from Bulgaria with- i 90 days after the Italian peace eaty takes effect. Russian acceptance of the evac- ation of Bulgaria was laid down foreign secretary Ernest Bevi as a condition for the withdraw- of allied troops from Italy.

The agreement marked the first love by the -Russians toward ithdrawal of their troops from ic Balkans. Foreign minister V. Molotov had blocked all sug- sstions of such a withdrawal at revious discussions. The evacuation of Russian oops from Bulgaria would be ic first move toward Anglo-Arn- "ican recognition of the Bulgar- in government. The Soviets long ave sought such recognition.

Secretary of State James F. yrnes at once agreed to the with- rawal of U. S. troops from Italy i Bevin's terms. Molotov, in one of the biggest sncessions he has made so far, to the withdrawal from ulgaria.

He also proposed that unusual requisitioned currency id property be returned to the alian government within the ime 90-day period.

Quick Way To Make Diamonds -He Thinks! WASHBURN, Wis.

UP --An amateur physicist suggested today that the navy fill its target ships at Bikini atoll with coal, which would be "turned into diamonds" 'when the atomic bomb explodes. "Every schoolboy knows that you can make diamonds by subjecting carbon to tremendous heat and pressure," said H. Theodore Palm. "Diamonds and coal are both carbon." He believed that by adopting his suggestion the navy could finance the atomic test and ease the taxpayers' burden. He also suggested that somebody drop an atomic bomb into a coal mine.

At Chicago, scientists attending a meeting of the American physical society, said it was not so simple. "The only trouble is that diamonds don't float," said Dr. Eugene P. Wigner, Princeton University physicist. Dr.

Norman Bowen, University of Chicago authority on rock formation, said it would have "no effect whatsoever except to scatter the coal around." "The theory is that by exerting great heat and pressure on coal it could be converted to diamonds," he said. "The atomic bomb would provide enough pressure for only a split second. According to the theory it would take at least a minute of concentrated pressure. And nobody has ever proved the theory." tcience Okays That Graving for Pickles CHICAGO--UP--Cleopatra ate icklcs to preserve her beauty, jc Dr. F.

Minnesota lawmen, Canadian provincial police and FBI agents joined in the hunt for POW's who escaped en-masse from camps in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Twin Cities police were asked to watch for any POW's who might appear here.

The FBI said that five already had been captured but that eight more had escaped yesterday. Mounted police were patrolling the border area extensively as it was believed most of the escapees would head for the United States. Two prisoners drowned while attempting to 'ride" into Minnesota via boat. Swollen streams and rivers were believed to be hampering further attempts of escapees to move southward. Many more, authorities said, had "taken to the bush' in the wilds of southern Canada, and many were believed to have perished in the wilderness.

Canadian officials would not announce the exact number of escaped prisoners, but it was known that from four to 10 have absented themselves daily from several camps in the past two months.

ARREST NEHRU, INDIAN LEADER BOMBAY P-- Local authorities of Kasimir today arrested Pandit Jawaharlai Nehru, president designate of the Indian National Congress party, when he defied a ban on his entry into the state. Unconfirmed reports said Nehru was seized at the remote vil- fttge of Domel, some 200 miles northwest of Lahore near the Kashmir frontier. (In Loadon, Indian experts said the action involving Nehru might touch off serious trouble in view of the delicate situation involving British attempts to have the offers of independence accepted by the Indian parties.) Nehru had been a likely selection for foreign minister in the interim government hich the British hoped would be set up as part of the moves toward Indian independence. Nehru had attempted to enter a princely state, to arrange for the defense of Shiekh Hohamad Abdullah, president of the Kashmir national conference. He is in jail on a charge of agitating against the rule of the local authorities.

The United States has promised to destroy or "dispose" of its atom bombs, but only when foolproof and penalty-backed international safeguards against then- use by other nations have instituted. Russia, flatly rejecting an American plea for elimination of Big power veto rights from world atomic enforcement machinery, yesterday advanced its own atomic control plan. It called, in effect, for destruction of American atom bombs under an international treaty outlawing atomic warfare as a preliminary to the kind of safeguards the United States wants.

The Soviet proposal was snrune without warning on the United Nations atomic energy commission at its second meeting yesterday. Although Soviet delegate Andrei A. Gromyko outlined the Russian plan in great detail, he made no mention of the United States or of the proposals presented to the commission by U. S. delegate Bernard M.

Baruch. Commission members withheld comment on the Soviet plan pending careful study, but five of the 12 member nations Australia. Canada, Great Britain, China and Mexico yesterday approved the American proposals as a solid foundation for the commission's work. Core of the Russian proposal, and what Gromyko described as a "primordial" step in banishing the threat of atomic -war, is a draft treaty binding signatory nations: 1.

He may have trouble filling a telephone booth for a heavyweight boxing championship bout of the future. Thousands saw his "extravaganza" (the announcer called it the stellar between Joe Louis and Billy Conn last night, and thanked their lucky stars they hadn't paid $100 or even $5 for standing room. They saw the fight by television. Receivers were tuned in from as far north as Connecticut and as far south as Washington. Though miles away from the Yankee Stadium ringside, they saw everything that went on in that 24-foot square, and saw it much better than most of the 45,266 persons who paid their way.

And that includes most of those who had paid as high as $100. It was the first time that a heavyweight championship bout was televised. It was estimated that 100,000 persons were in the National Broadcasting company television audience. Those at the fight may have been disappointed but not those who saw it via television for it was an indication that one of these days Americans from coast to coast will be seeing such events in their own home. big ons.

Dubuque County Coroner Dr.

F. S. Leonard continued the hearings until next week when it is hoped that William Canfield, manager of the hotel, will have sufficiently recovered from injuries suffered in the blaze to testify. Zachary Cook and A. A.

Lubberden, a fire investigators, told the jury yesterday that tragic blaze was caused by cigaret butts tossed into a cardboard container in the closet of the cocktail lounge. Lubberden and Cook told iury that the hotel had been properly equipped with fire fighting equipment and had comoiled with state fire laws. Lubberden said the only additional orecau- lion he could have suggested was a self-closins fire door between the lounge and the lobby, which might have prevented the flames from spreading up the stairs. TAFT, BOWLES MIX OVER OPA WASHINGTON --(UP)-- Economic stabilizer Chester Bowles today renewed his attack on pending OPA extension legislation and was promptly accused by Sen. Robert A.

Taft, of hampering congressional efforts to work out a compromise. Taft made his charge after Bowles told a news conference he considered the legislation unsatisfac- touy and would urge President Truman to veto it if it reached the white in the present form. Taft is a member of a conference committee now seeking to resolve differences between the house and senate versions of the bill. said Bowies' "refusal to consider any change whatever in the price setup makes it very dif- ficiult for the committee to reach any compromise." Bowles said price and wage controls would be almost unnecessary a year from now if the nation had labor-management peace during the next year. But such peace, he said, is contingent upon continuing effective price controls.

Bowles again served blunt notice he would recommend a President Truman veto any unsatisfactory price control extension bill. He said he considered the legislation now 'pending in congress to be unsatisfactory. In case of a veto, he said he hoped that congress then would agree to a simple resolution extending price controls without crippling amendments. He contended that some provisions of the pending bill contained "booby traps 1 that would ruin effective price control. He said he had discussed i labor leaders the possibility of a new one-year, no-strike pledge.

The discussions arc continuing. Bowles said he was not discouraged over the prospects of obtaining such an agreement. Bowles predicted that if cost of living rises because of relaxed price controls, wage demands would be renewed a more strikes would follow. He said there would be no wage stabilization if pending OPA legislation is enacted. HUGE ATOMIC RESEARCH FUND WASHINGTpN UP The house appropriations committee today recommended $7,091,034,700 to operate the war department during fiscal 1947, including $375,000,000 for atomic energy research and development.

The total appropriation would be $117,172,729 less than that recommended by the budget bureau. But it would allow $175,000,000 more than the bureau proposed for atomic energy purposes. The committee observed that the army intended, to continue atomic activities on its present scale, "which is roughly two- thirds of the wartime level." Atomic research would include civilian as well as military applications. Publication of secret testimony before an appropriations subcommittee revealed that: 1. Gen.

Dwight D. Eisenhower believes U. S. occupation forces must be kept overseas for five to 10 years. 2.

The armed forces have developed bacteriological warfare to the point where it is more destructive than atomic bombs. 3. The army has developed a drug to treat malaria which is superior to atabrine and quinine and does not "yellow" patients' skin. Funds recommended by the committee would provide an average army strength of 1,279,000 for the fiscal year. Of that total, 596,000 could be stationed in the United States, 683,000 overseas and 400,000 assigned to the air forces.

Added to the active forces would be a national guard of 240,000 officers and men, air national guard of 47,646, organized reserves of 331,903 officers and 721,800 men, reserve officers training corps of 157,100 students and 45,000 at camps. Besides the large atomic energy research item, the committee proposed a record pacetime total of $281,500,000 for other army research programs.

UP The state of Georgia filed civil suit today to revoke the charter of the Ku Klux Klan, charging the white-hooded order with acts of wanton murder and terrorism and a conspiracy to seize the state's public protection agencies. The quowarranto action was filed in Fulton county superior court in this city which is the national hotbed of the Klan. It climaxed an exhaustive month- long investigation of the secret society into which Gov.

Ellis nail threw the full force of his legal department and secret state probers. The suit charged that the Klan' carried on its affairs solely for the purpose of "inculcating and, disseminating racial and religious prejudices, intolerance and hatred." It seeks to gain these eral conferees on the deadlocked ends, the suit charged "by viol- draft extension bill predicted today that conscription of 18-year- olds is a "dead-duck." The prediction was made by conferees from both the house and senate. They included some who previously have been the strongest supporters of drafting 18-year-olds. They revealed their view shortly after efforts "to get a compromise on the issue collapsed. The compromise was blocked when Rep.

Dewy Short, challenged the use of the proxy'of Rep. Walter G. Andrews, N. Y. They said that a compromise might be reached that would make 19 years the minimum draft age.

Even such a 19-year-old draft compromise appeared headed for trouble when returned to the house floor for final acceptance. Chairman Andrew J. May, of the house military affairs committee, said he would not use Andrews' proxy to break the deadlock on the teen-age issue. There already was tentative agreement to extend the draft til next March 31. The conferees also indicated that they would include pay increase to encourage volunteers in the armed services.

The army meantime reported 800,000 enlistments since the start of its recruitng campaign last Oct. 6. Army offcals sad, however, that the draft still is needed. A slight increase in the rate of enlistments in the past 30 days was attributed to teen-agers volunteering because they felt thai they would be drafted and mighl as well enlist "and get it over with." ence, terrorism and hate." One specific case of murder was laid to the Klan, that of Ike Gaston who was flogged to death, in Atlanta in 1940. The state's suit also charged that Klansmen were seeking to gain control of police officers and government agencies in a conspiracy aimed at rendering the state "incapable of carrying put that part of the state constitution that guarantees protection of persons and property." Four klan officials were named as exercising the klan's chief authority under the charter--Dr.

Samuel H. Green, grand dragon of the real of Georgia; G. T. Brown, grand titan of the fifth province of the Georgia realm; N. W.

Roper, exalted cyclops of Oakland City post No. 297, and B. G. Otwell, exalted cyclops of post 213 in East Atlanta. The suit charged that Roper had announced the klan's aim at a meting of the Oakland city post to be the organization of police of-.

ficers, cab drivers, truck drivers- and others in key positions of public security and transportation. The state seeks to prove that the klan is not a benevolent and eele- mosynary corporation but is a corporation organized and conducted for profit to itself and certain of its members. It was-said that the membership fee of ten dollars is divided between high officials of the klan. Under Georgia klan has 10 days in which to file an answer to the suit. If no answer is filed, the judge may rule as he sees fit.

Tighten Controls On New Wheat Crop WASHINGTON --(UP)-- The government today tightened controls over the 1946 wheat crop, stepping UD the percentage of grain which elevators must earmark for export and bringing trucker merchants under its set- aside order. Grain elevator operators previously were required only to set aside half of the wheat f'ev-nur- chase. Under tho new order, they must evaluate their stocks at the Public Power Fight Looms in Senate WASHINGTON--(UP) Senate friends and foes of public power were ready for an all-out fight today over moves to boost funds for government transmission lines in the 1947 interior department appropriations bill. Irrigation and reclamation projects in the bill which boosted the bureau of reclamation fund $99,079,370 were approved by the senate yesterday.

Still at issue are two major government power projects the southwestern power administration and the power features of California's Central valley project. Foes of both are equally determined that they will not let senate increase house-approved funds to permit construction of federal lines which might parallel those of privately owned utilities.

Big Packers Forced Out of Market WASHINGTON --(UP)-- The agriculture department said today that big meat packers virtually were forced out of the cattle market last week by a sharp cut in receipts and a corresponding rise in livestock prices. It said big packers probably got less than 10 per cent of the total cattle run.

The big packers support a substantial portion of the meat to larger cities. Order buyers, who took a big part of last week's run, buy cattle on order for hotels, restaurants and smaller packers. It said the heavy demand for cattle also caused steers "whidh in no sense were strictly top quality," to 'sell at top choice ceiling prices. At Chicago steers brought an average of cents over any previous 1 record.
