All Big League Teams To Open Season Today New York. April 15. — (UP) , Everybody has his troubles but ' everybody was willing to put them aside today for the opening of the baseball season. It was a long-awaited occasion for those stalwart buddies of bleachers and grandstand. Gus H Pan and John Q. Public, but they weren't the only folks to get excited shout it For out at Lake Success. N. V, in the new international citadel of world peace, the security council of the t’nited Nations cancelled its sessions to attend the opener at Yankee Stadium. For today only they were unconcerned over the problems of atomic bombers, they were interested only In the game between the Yankee Bronx 1 Bombers and the Philadelphia ■ Athletics. And whejt these men of many tongues, from strange and far away places stand with Mr. Fan and Mr, Public to sing the StarSpangled Banner they will see something truly American and/ Democratic and they ought to be impressed The game must have appealed ;to them at that. They displayed greater unanimity in deciding to go to the ball park than they had on virtually any subject in weeks. Even Anrdei Gromyko, the Russian delegate, who seems to have fewer friends than an umpire, said he would be on hand. All that was needed to make It a perfect day was a friendly nod from the weatherman. And clearing skies over the major league baseball map made it appear that the fans would get "baseball weather." The day's crowds arc expected to total better than 275,000 with the largest at the stadium where advance sales indicate a mob of about 56,000 for the Yankee-Ath-letic game. Bob Feller will fire away before about 50,000 at Cleveland against the Chicago White Sox, who were his victims in a no-bitter on opening day in 1940. But baseball's other ace, Hal Newhotiser of Detroit will have to do his chores against a slim turnout of 7,500 against the Browns at St. Ixrnis. Another 30,000 are expet ted to see Boston's American league champs play Washington at Fenway Park. In the National, the Cubs may set a park record if they get the! 45,000 fans they expect for their opener against Pittsburgh Pirates. And a full house of 33.000 will be on hand for the Dodger Brave game at Ebbets field when Gladys ' Gooding welcomes them back with the majestic strains of "Leave us go root for the Dodgers. Rodgers" I on the Brooklyn pipe organ. At Cincinnati. 31.000 will see the 1 Reds play the world champion St.

— 1 1 Treasury Head Sees Price Drops Likely •MMSSMMMS Reports Evidence Os Price Reduction Washington. Apr. 15 (VP) — Secretary of treasury John W. Snyder said today there Is evidence that prices may soon start coming down. Unless the upward movement is halted. Snyder sail, there could he a recession by next fall. But. he added, he doubts that.this will happen because of the evidence that further consideration is being Slven to general price cuts. Snyder told a news conference that "perhaps something morg specific can be announced next week" In the field of price reductions. He said he hoped that industry would not wait until it had caught up with demand before making price cuts. Snyder said he opposes tax cuts and would continue to do so as long as they would help push prices higher. "Tax reduction at this time would put more money into the market and would be Inflationary." he said. He said that if high taxes were retarding business activity, he would be in favor of reducing them. But business hasn't been retarded as a result of present tax levels, he said. Snyder also said he favors easing consumer credit control of any item when supply balances demand. But he opposed rernovling these controls, which set minimum down payments and maximum payments time, on all items at once. o i , Divorce Suit Filed In Circuit Court Dorothy DeVore, through her attorney.

WAIT REPLY TO Fr««in OnM — — — morning session and promlxe<| to give the proposal "serious consideration" The major bone of contention, which has deadlocked companyunion negotiations for over 100 days, has been the union's demand and the company's steadfast refusal to negotiate on an Indus-! i try-wide basis. The government formula would give the arbitration board power to make "final and binding | awards" on either a national or a local level. Under the proposal, the union and companies would agree to submit these six union demands to arbitration: (It 112-weekly pay iioost; <2» revised town wage j classifications; (3) reduction of the promotion schedule for top wage brackets from 8 to 5 years; I <4» increased vacations; (5) leaves of absence for union off! 1 cers; and (Ct elimination of area wage differentials. The companies and the union would agree to negotiate a settle-j ment nt the four remaining union demands by the Thursday dead line. These demands are: (it union shop and dues Checkoff; (2> job descriptions; (3) union jurisdiction over work, and (4) an Improved pension plan. o Trade In a Good Town — Decatur O SECY.

"To ileal with them In the four-power treaty we proponed would lie totally to alter the scope and purpose of that treaty. Such amendments have no place in the kind of treaty we propose.

In submitting the Russian version of the four-power disarmament alliance, Molotov Injected virtually all the disputed points on Germany now before the foreign ministers, including a clause which would give the Soviets a voice in a special control regime for the Ruhr.
