CIO Threatens Walkout Over Bill To Strengthen Controls
Washington June 25 CIO leadership warned it would withdraw from the stabilization program if Congress does not strengthen controls. Emil Rieve of the Textile Workers Union said the CIO would oppose the bill as drafted, insisting the law must favor labor. Senate debate opened with Senator Douglas pushing to preserve the administration’s rollback powers while other lawmakers sought tighter limits. The Banking Committee approved a curb on price rollbacks, though President Truman opposed the move. Maybank warned drastic rollbacks could unbalance the budget and trigger rationing. The measure would cap rollbacks and limit wage price rent controls to eight months, with House provisions differing on farm product rules.

O'Donnell Ends M'Arthur Probe
In Washington Maj Gen Emmett O'Donnell testified that Manchuria could have been bombed when Chinese Reds entered the Korean War without Russian retaliation. He said Russia would not have dared move if U S planes hit Manchurian railways and other targets north of the Yalu last November, aligning with Gen MacArthur's urging. He warned, however, that such action now might be unwise due to intensified Red air strength and potential loss of a Sunday launch against the Soviets.

Envoys in Moscow weigh Malik Korea cease fire proposal
Western ambassadors in Moscow, pressed by their governments, could not agree on how to respond to Deputy Foreign Minister Malik’s Korea cease-fire proposal. Optimism persists that peace in Korea may be possible, though some doubt the effort will yield results. A broad diplomatic survey shows guarded optimism and belief a Korean end could ease talks on a Japan peace treaty. The Russian public, meanwhile, backs their government’s initiative to end the fighting.
