The United States proposed today
to outlaw atomic' war by placing

eventually including American
atom bomb plants under a glob-

I terms to be set forth in a treaty.
The projected agency, to be es-

to avenge an earlier defeat at
the hands of the La Grange nine.
When these two teams met here,
big Les Blume took charge of the
affair, and set the local hitters
down with three bingles, and a
single run.
La Grange so far has been the
team to beat. They have snuffed
out all of their opponents at least
once, and are now leading tire
league with five wins. In Blume,
the Demons have probably the
best twirler In these parts, and he
is ably backed up on the diamond

ing aggregation.
Brenhm hit the win solum n
when they snuffed out Round Top

be working for another victory
Sunday.
Reports from La Grange indi-
cate a great interest in the game,
and Fair Park is sure to be jam-
med for this all Important tilt.

About 75 Cases Are
Being Prepared
In Houston
charges — OPA’$ long-threatened
heavy artillery in the war against
lumber black marketing — were
filed Thursday in U. S. Commis-
sioner W. F. Carothers" court
against three Texas, lumber mill
and yard operators, In connection
with what the OPA charged were
overceiling prices charges.
With one exception, this was
the first move of OPA’s month-
old lumber enforcement unit to
hit the lumber black market in
this area with the big stick of
possible heavy fines and peniten-
tiary sentences.
Marshall McCullough, for m e r
FBI man who heads the enforce-
ment bureau, filed the Charges.
He said that these are the first
of about 75 cases being prepared.
Most of the alleged overcharging
in these and future case* center
around Houston, he said.
Allegations of the most flagrant
violations among those charged
ware brought against R. H. Jowell;
doing business as the R. H- Jowell
Lumber Co. at Groveton. He was
charged with selling lumber worth
166.744.17 for 3100,231.01. The I..
alleged overcharges totaled |42,-

LONDON, June 14. TPl On the
eve of the Big Four conference,
the Moscow radio today unleash-
ed a sarcastic attack on Americarj
policy in the Far East and Latin
America.
A. Russian commentator said,
} "The foreign policy of the United
States has veered sharply from
the policy laid down by the late
President Roosevelt.”
He said the United States was
tending to restore the pre-Rooae-
velt policy "visualizing United
States intervention in Latin Amer-
ica."
The Russian radio accused the
United States of trying to estab-
lish control over the armament
of ‘Latin American countries. It
charged that American policy
