July 2. —(UP) —Four persons from the Fort Wayne area, indicted in Hammond by the grand jury last Wednesday, have been arrested and released on 1500 bond each. William McQuiu and Mrs. Eleanora Werthimer. partners in a Ligonier feed and seed store, are ; charged with violating a federal regulation concerning the labeling of seeds sent through interstate commerce.

The president reminded the sen- ’ ate that no international docu-1 ment had ever been drawn in a ‘ greater glare of publicity. He said this resulted in the impression in some quarters that there were many points of disagreement among the United Nations in drafting the document. "The fact is that there were comparatively tew’ points upon which there was not accord from the very beginning," he said, adding that these disagreements related more to method than to principle. "Whatever differences there were were finally settled,” he said. “They were settled by the traditional democratic method of free exchange of opinions and ; points of view.” L-_ o GOVERNORS (Continued From Page conference chairman, also empha-; sized the virtue of cooperative en-1 deavor by reciting the growth of ■ the United States "from a tottering union of 13 states to the most powerful nation on earth" in 150 years.

Nations To Discuss Tangier Zone Fate c! U.S., Britain And France To Confer i.i Washington, July 2 —(UP) — s The United States. Britain and 8 France announced today that ? their representatives will meet 1 immediately in Paris to discuss •; "future disposition" of the inter- • j national zone of Tangier, which ■ Franco Spain grabbed five years ago this month. The three powers, it was learned. will agree to resume international administration of the important North African port area which borders the Straits of Gibraltar. Officials revealed that the United States, which has avoided administration of the area, inany part in previous international ' tends to play "as great a part as I any other country" in its future operation. Spain changed Tangier's international character on June 14. 1340. when Generalissimo Francis- ! co Franco sent troops in from i adjacent Spanish Morocco on the excuse that Tangier’s neutrality ! had to be preserved. The state department, timing I its announcement with similar disclosures in London and Paris, I said “there no longer appears to be any justification" for Spain's j continued occupation. Spain occupied this zone "during the war in which the other major interested powers . . were then engaged." The department, noting that [ the European war is now over, said that Spain had already indiI cated its desire to “regularize j the situation." Spain will be excluded from the ' Paris meeting but, because of her close proximity to the territory, probably will be given a voice in its postwar international admin- ■ istration, officials said. o MacArthur Escapes Jap Sniper's Fire General Missed By Eight Sniper Shots ——— With Allied Invasion Forces at Balikpspan, July 1 — (Delayed) —(UP)— Gen. Douglas MacArthur drew angry Japanese sniper fire again this afternoon as he surveyed strong points from tl>e most advanced Australian command post less than 2W yards from Japanese defense positions. Striding first through damp ■swamp land and later up shale hills dotted wit}i Australian foxholes, MacArthur reached a spur-like crescent, overlooking Mount Malang. the first important objective of his Australian forces on the right flank As he .stood conferring with an Australian brigadier, eight shots rang out. Staff members automatically ducked but MacArthur and the I brigadier continued poring over a I large scale grip map, completely ! unperturbed. "He’s Ireen there for a bit of a ; time, you know," the brigadier mur- ! mured to MacArthur. ‘'Well, we'll root him -out later today." MacArthur said. With terse questions MacArthur questioned the brigadier and his staff on the development of the campaign, which was only three hours old at the time he went ashore. — oClaude Wickard Is Swam Into Office St. Louis, July 2 —(UP) —Former secretary of Agriculture Wickard was sworn in here today as rural electrification administrator. The oath was administered by John W. Asher, Jr., chief of REAo personnel division.

July 2—(UP)—New Yorkers, accustomed to waiting in line for cigaretw and meat, queued up in sweltering heat today for afternoon newspapers. A strike called shortly before midnight Saturday by the Independent Newspaper and Mail Deliverers' Union entered its second day with no break in sight. Sunday newspapers, today’s nForning papers and most afternoon papers were on sale over the counter. Publishers marshaled full staffs and printed token editions as union pickets marched in front of newspaper offices carrying placards which read: “This union is on strike against this newspaper/’ The pickets were orderly. Pedestrians, mopping their brows, paid scant attention to them. Cornelius O'Keefe, clerk in the union’s headquarters, said “everything is at a standstill. As far as I know, picketing will continue until a contract is signed," he said. The newspaper PM, which is not a member of the New York publishers association and which holds a separate contract with the union, was the only afternoon newspaper distributed through regular channels today. Lowell Leake, PM's business manager, said PM’s press run would be 200,000 above normal today. “We could sell a mililon if we had the paper," Leake said. The major issue hinged on a union demand that the publishers set aside 3 percent of its payroll tor a welfare fund. The publishers said they had offered to leave the demand for settlement by the newspaper commission of the war labor board, but the workers did not. accept the offer. The strike, which began a few' hours before the old contract expired Saturday midnight, left all but a hardy few of New York's millions without their Sunday morning newspapers. It turned Mayor Fiorella La Guardia into a radio interpreter of the daily comic strips. LaGuardia paused on his regular Sunday broadcast over the cityowned station yesterday to tell New York's juvbniles how Lant-ern-Jawed Dick Tracy was doing on the crime-busting front. . Q
