R WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.— (U.R) —

president Truman said today that

e will call a conference of Labor

nd Management representatives : ext month to promote industrial

eace during reconversion. He also disclosed at his news

onference that the War Labor

ioard — the government’s war-

ime instrument for preventing in-

erruption of wartime production— /ill go out of existence soon.

The President did not go into de-

ails about the Labor-Management ■onference. He did not say wheth-

;r it would be held at the White

louse or elsewhere. He did say,

towever ,that he would call it soon

lfter Congress reconvenes on Sep- ember 5.

Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, (R-

Wich.l, has proposed that capital and labor hold a ‘’peace” confer-

ence modeled upon the San Fran-

cisco meeting which produced the United Nations Charter.

The WLB, Mr. Truman said, will continue in existence for a while.

But he added that it would be a

very limited while.

Mr. Truman said he knew of no

plans to make over the WLB into

a peacetime instrument for hand-

ling postwar labor disputes and

wage matters. For the time being, however, it

is still needed, he said, adding that

the Labor department is studying the situation now.

The President’s remarks appear- ed to indicate that Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach will

be entrusted with the critical prob- lem of developing a national labor

policy to ensure industrial peace during reconversion.

The question had been whether the final labor dispute authority would be the WLB or the Labor de-

partment.

tia, making the first appraisal by the Russian press of the atomic bomb, said today:

“The end of the war was brought about by the powerful joint effort of all the Allies in common arms—

who defeated Germany, too—but not by sensational miracles.”
