LONDON, Marsh 28 (U. P.). Responsible British sources today that a Russian reply to Britian’s notes on the Iranian situation was expected soon, possibly this week-end.

It was expected that the atomic decision might encourage the Russlans to relax some of their suspictons regarding American postwar intentions and thus create a more favorable atmosphere for settlement of the Iran and other pending disputes with Russia. Preparations for the Iran showdown were virtually complete, The Iranian’ Ambassador Hussein Ala arrived in New York and set up for his campaign to win support for Iran's case.

“Six Weeks Delay” The White House announcement, issued nearly three hours after the United Press broke the news of the atom bomb test postponement, said: “The President announced tonight that the atom bomb tests in the Pacific will be delayed about six weeks. The tests calling for the detonation of two atomic bombs in Bikini atoll, had been scheduled for May 15 for the first, an air drop, and July 1, a surface burst. “The postponement is prompted by the fact that a large number of congressmen have expressed a desire to witness both these tests, but

The President’s decision was telephoned to Vice Adm. W. H, P. Blandy, task force commander, at about 5 p. m. yesterday. He was not certain as to what new date would be set for the tests, “A lot depends on the weather,” he said, Adm, Blandy said typhoons seldom are violent in the region of the Marshalls. But they are “reflected,” he added, in unfavorable weather which could delay the tests more ‘than gix weeks. The normal typhoon season, he sald, is July through October.

Th& Ludlow “jinx” has been a bugaboo to Republicans for years. The G. O. P. has swept the county in all other races the last two elections but they've never cracked the Ludlow popularity. Also many Republican prospective candidates for the congressional spot have: decided against running for the job after surveying the cost of living in Washington and more important the cost of conducting a campaign.

Smith Rejects Boom

Robert 8. Smith, attorney who recently was dischérged from the army as a lieutenant colonel, was first mentioned as a possible G. O. P.. candidate but he squashed the boom

“I've got to get back into civilian life and make a living and being a congressman is a poor living,” he said. “About half your salary has to be spent in running for the office and I don’t see how I could live in Washington on what is left of the $10,000 salary.” Other prospective candidates have expressed the same conclusions about the financial side of running for congress. The only other Republican being discussed for the race is Edward J. Green, attorney and former state senator from Marion and Johnson counties, But he is still in the armed services and Republican war veterans who are willing to sponsor his candidacy haven't heard from him on the subject.

SOME PRICE LIMITS T0 BE LIFTED SOON

WASHINGTON, March 23 (U. P.). —Suspension of price control on hundreds of consumer durable items, not including automobiles, is being prepared by the office of price administration, it was learned today.

An OPA official in the pricing branch said the items were being so selected that “no substantial impact on the ordinary budget” would result. Announcement of the program is expected within a week. The official said that no wide scale removal of cantrols for food items was planned, although the agency will continue to remove ceilings from individual foods as the situation warrants. Price ceilings have not been lifted on any major food items thus far. Under the new plan, the OPA will draw up a list of items which it considers essential to hold under price control. After the list is anf nounced, the OPA officials said, controls over other items will be suspended automatically. This action followed the statement made earlier by Price Administrator Paul Porter that a program of “progressive de-control” was planned during the next six to eight months. He said the program was designed to get the nation back to a normal economy as fast as possible.

SENATE RACE SPLIT 3 WAYS

Aspirants for Nomination Have Varied Views. (Continued From Page One)

but unofficial reports insisted Al Feeney would seek the Democratic nomination for sheriff. Mr. Feeney was Marion county sheriff for two terms ending in 1042 and also is a former state police superintendent. Republican ranks were abuzz over speculation as to where and how Clark Springer, new state chairman, and Governor Gates stand on Mr. Jenner's forthcoming candidacy. Since Mr. Springer apparently was the hand-picked choice to succeed Mr. Jenner at the state committee helm, it was assumed he would go “all out” for the youthful Bedford politico, If he does, he will be reversing his 1940 attitude when he was campaign manager for Senator Willis. If so, some observers say Democrats might interpret this as a virtual confession Republican representation in the U. 8. senate during the past six years didn't live up to Mr. Springer’s expectations. Mr, Springer has been serving as state administration patronage secretary, responsible directly to Governor Gates. Judging from the welloiled precision with which Mr. Jenner resigned and Mr. Springer succeeded him, the state committee action was satisfactory to Governor Gates, who attended. However, it was recalled that Governor ‘Gates also is said to have nodded in polite agreement when James M. Tucker decided to run for the senate in 1944. But when the chips went down at the state convention, Homer Capehart walked away with the delegate votes. And Governor Gates was the nominal head of the Republican party at that time.

STATE POLICE PLAN SAFETY CAMPAIGN

State police will begin a statewide drive May 15 to curb highway accidents averaging 400 daily, State Superintendent of Police Col. Austin R. Killian told automobile deal ers here last night. . Speaking before the ninth an-

nual state convention of the Automobile Association of Indiana, Col. Killian said police will stop vehicles for mechanical and traffic law checkups and will impound automobiles until repairs have been made. He informed the ‘more than 500 convention members that the campaign is planned to “stop this slaughter on Indiana highways.” Governor Gates commended the state dealers for keeping the state’s rolling automotive stock in operation. He asserted that Indiana's war production and reconversion success was due partly to dealers’ ability to keep automobiles in operating condition. D. C. Barnhart of Washington, assistant executive vice president of the National Automobile Dealers’ association, told dealers the OPA would continue operation until “supply and demand are adjusted with each other.” He sald dealers in every community in the nation will join this spring to promote the greatest safety campaign ever conducted.

Other evidence at today's hearing disclosed that the Sovciet military attache here cabled to the ‘director” in Moscow the news that Rose was re-elected to the Canadian parliaraent and that two other Communists, Tim Buck, labor progressive national leader, and 8am Carr, national organizer, were defeated. It was the first time Buck's name was brought up in the espionage ring hearing. Text of a cable from the military attache to Moscow was read by the prosecution. It said that as a result of the elections, the Communists had “from corporators one member in parliament.” The term “corporator” was identified as meaning the Communist party in Canada, ’ Sought U. 8S. Secrets The cable was identified by Gouzenko, key figure in the spy ring investigation, It was a handwritten cable which Gouzenko himself had ciphered and dispatched. He identified handwriting on other documents which he said was that of Col. Rogov, assistant Soviet military attache in Ottawa. The documents instructed agents to get information on British, American and Canadian secrets on radar, Vbomb and airplane sight discoveries. The United States was interested in an explosive on which the agents were asked to get information. Rogov's orders, according to the documents, also included a demand for” details on a U. 8. airplane radar detector and radar navigation periscope. He set July 5, 1945, for the details to be furnished. ‘Partially Fulfilled’ Rogov’s requests were “partially fulfilled,” the documents disclosed, quoting a report he made to Moscow. Soviet agents were instructed not to keep any of their “material” at their homes for even a “single night.” The new documents were introduced into the hearing in a further attempt by the crown to show that the espionage ring was linked with the Russian secret police, NKVD, and with the Communist party outside Russia. © Co-defendant with Rose is Prof, Raymond Boyer of McGill university.

A genera] increase in prices was the main contributing factor in the five per cent rise of the Indiana university business index during February, the Indiana Busines$* Ree view said today. Business throughout the state took a decide turn upward las month, with the index, based on preliminary reports, at 207.3 to establish an all-time high, “During February,” the Review says, increases in the ceilings of many agricultural and industrial commodities were made, thus ine creasing the value of sales reported by producers, wholesalers and ree tailers.” More Goods Available The magazine said that departe bent stores sales index reflects in part the general price rise, although continued heavy demand and ine creased quantities and varieties of goods’ available also contributed ta the marked increase in this month's index, as compared with last month's, “Livestock sales as compared with the market receipts are an: indica tion of price activity,” the Review declares. “Indexes for both cattle and hog sales increased considere ably during February, while the ine dexes of receipts advanced come paratively little for cattle and dee clined slightly for hogs. “The index of farm prices ree mained about the same this month as compared with last, partially due to the very large decline in the prices of eggs, butter and some grains which tended to offset the increases in other farm product prices.” Steel Recovery Reflected The steel industry's slow recove ery from the strike is reflected in the steel production index, the I. U, publication says. A considerable ine crease is shown in this month's index over January. The stone industry ¢ontributed to the general business rise by cone tinuing its increase in production as it has since V-J day.
