Truman Signs Anti-Petrillo Bill
Washington, (UP)—President Trump today signed a bill designed to prevent James C. Petrillo, president of the American Federation of Musicians, from coercing broadcasters in labor matters.

Washington. (UP)—Estimates that the coming atomic bomb tests will cost the United States $525,000,000 were described as "gross exaggerations" today by Vice Adm. W. H. P. Blandy.
He said the cost would be "only a few per cent of the annual naval appropriations and will probably not exceed the total cost of one large new ship."
Railroaders Schedule R.I. Strike Tomorrow
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—Some 2,500 members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen have scheduled a strike against the Rock Island railroad tomorrow, J. A. Coleman, chairman of the Union's grievance committee, said today.
Under the Railway Labor Act, President Truman may appoint a fact-finding board to inquire into the dispute. Appointment of such a board usually delays a strike at least 30 days.
Washington. (UP)—The American Red Cross and the AFL and CIO special Red Cross relief committees will end their controversial wartime fund raising arrangement on April 30.
Washington, (UP)—The most far-reaching housing program ever considered by congress went to the house today with senate approval.
The measure was intended to encourage construction of 15 million new farm and city homes in the next 10 years.
Rome. (UP)—Rome's Easter preparations were not affected noticeably today by a widely-publicized prediction that Christ will return to earth Saturday and address Romans from a balcony on the ancient Appian way.
Chungking. (UP)—Chinese Communist troops smashed into Changchun yesterday and engaged a handful of Nationalist troops in house-to-house fighting, the Central News agency reported today.
Chinese Troops Fight In Changchun Streets
A spokesman for the National Military council said a peace preservation corps and the small government force still held the Manchurian capital late today.
Washington. (UP) — The House backed up its UnAmerican Activities committee today and voted to press contempt charges against the executive secretary and 16 members of the executive board of the joint anti-Fascist refugee committee of New York.
Washington, (UP)—A Texas meat packer blamed OPA regulations today for a growing shortage of insulin and other medicinal preparations which are produced by by-products of cattle-slaughter.
C. L. Childress said legitimate meat slaughterers, who normally save livestock glands that yield such extracts, were finding if virtually impossible to continue operations under recent OPA price regulations.
UN Postpones Iran Showdown On 'Illegal' Angle
New York. (UP) — The United Nations Security council agreed without objection today to postpone a showdown on the Iranian case after Secretary General Tryge Lle suggested that the Anglo-American attempt to keep the Iranian case on the agenda over Russia's objections might be illegal.
The new snarl in the Iranian case came after U.S. delegate Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., answering Russia's questioning of American motives, indirectly accused the Soviet Union of using her troops in Iran to get Iran's last minute withdrawal of her case before the Security council.
Poland, France, and Russia immediately claimed that no vote on Russia's demand for withdrawal of the Iranian case could be taken until the experts report on the legal issue Thursday.
Lie's memorandum contended that the only way the council could retain a case over objections of both parties would be through voting an investigation of the situation.
French delegate Henry Bonnet also introduced a draft resolution for disposing of the Iranian case. He had suggested that it be dropped from the agenda as requested by Russia and Iran and to Lie to report back when Russian troops save left Iran.
Stettinius said that the council could not ignore the fact that the sudden reversal of the Iranian government's position yesterday took place while Russian troops were still in Iran.
In Tehran, Iranian sources contended that Premier Ahmed Ghavam ordered the Iranian complaint against Russia withdrawn from the United Nations Security council because Soviet Ambassador Ivan Sadchikov told him that Russia would feel "insulted" unless Iran ordered Rina Ala to withdraw his charges.
