State Historical Meeting Opens

Greenfield.
The President had the support of the army and police, fragmentary reports seeping over the frontier said. Unofficial accounts said Villarroel, prompted by the wholesale bloodshed and his own narrow escape from a hail of bullets which splattered a platform on which he was speaking, had decided to shake up the government. The new regime will be composed entirely of army men, the report said, indicating the possibility of a virtual military coup, Villarrocl was speaking to a crowd which gathered around the government palace when the shooting occurred. The crowd apparently had gathered before the palace to protest against government policy which would prompt the violence and terrorism.
Seek To Break OPA Deadlock
WASHINGTON, July 20 (UP) Congressional conferees met again today in a final desperate effort to break their fiveday deadlock on decontrol provisions of the OPA revival bill. If the current stalemate continues today, conference m rnbeis freely expressed pessimism over their chances for reaching a price compzomiso without returning to their respective todies for further instructions. Chief stumbling biock to an OIPA agreement continues to center on house members' rejecting of a senate plan to remove price products, wheat ismltry, dairy products, wheal, tobacco
and petroleum.
Senate Democratic leader Alben W. Barkley, Ky. , reportedly will offer another plan designed to heal the differences on commodity decontrols. Bu, Barkley was not wiling to unveil his re(worted proposal before placing it
before the i onfciei . e.
Before the meeting boga.n Son. Robert A. Taft, K , (_)., said lie saw "no particular piomise” of the conferees reaching an
I agreement.
Barkley called the situation "n >1 hopeless" but told reporters that the conferees were "getting no where fast.' 1 He said .he 11 mar. group did not want to ser.u the bill back to the senate and House for instructions except as "a last resort."
