Parley Fails to Ease
Heat Price Rollback
On Restaurant Menus
OPA food price officials' and res
taurant and hotel association rep
resentatives reported that “no new
[ decftion" resulted today from a long
conference at which the industry
spokesmen tried to obtain at least
an easing of the rollback of meat
menu prices.
1 Following a long session with C.
Dean McNeal, director of OP As
food price division. George Le
Sauvage, chairman of the restau
rant industry advisory committee,
and John L. Hennessy, head of the
American Hotel Association's food
committee, indicated they would
carry their protest directly to Price
Administrator Paul Porter.
No further meetings were planned
by Mr. McNeal. his office reported.
A spokesman for Mr. Porter said
the Administrator does not “live
behind any iron curtain" and would
be available for a conference if re
quired. No appointment has been
asked as yet, the spokesman saiij.
OPA’s rollback order ran Into an
angry barrage of criticism by indi
vidual proprietors who called it ri
diculous, drastic, meddling, disrimi
natory and a body blow to people
who have to eat out. It also was
termed “nonsensical and un-Amer-i
ican” by Senator Capehart, Repub-1
lican. of Indiana, who accused OPA!
of having acted without adequate
studv.
Central Control Asked.
Representative Jenkins, chairman’
of the Republican Food Study Com
mittee. demanded that President;
Truman “relieve himself of the
domination of incompetent bureau
crats’’ and put all food activities
“under one competent head” in the
Agriculture Department.
Owner's or managers of local eat
ing places, ranging from cafeterias
to hotel dining rooms and cover
charge establishments with enter
tainment, disclosed in a cross-sec
tion survey, however, that not all
expect to be affected in the same
way or to the same extent. A few
do not believe they will experience
further cuts in profits.
Such varied concerns as Cannon's
Steak House and the downtown
Ewart's Cafeteria reported they did
not raise their meat prices after
the temporary lapse of OPA last
June. Their main problem is to get
meat in the current scarcity.
O'Donnell's Sea Grill was one of
several large restaurants which do
not believe meat will disappear from
the menus. A spokesman said, “Of
course, we'll lose money but we in
tend to sell all the meat we can
get ”
“Strike” Threat Discounted.
There is little likelihood of such
in organized shut-down, in the
opinion of representative restaurant
men. But there is a serious possi
bility that some restaurants will be
forced to close because they have
been operating on a narrow profit
margin and could not absorb losses
:ertain to result from the rollbacks,
t was claimed.
The Hot Shoppes, for example, do
tot anticipate any closings but an i
iflBcial declared that some of the
inits in that chain will be "prac- ,
ically at the zero mark” in the;t
irofit picture if the rollback remains -
n effect.
The rollback order is “drastic and
infair,” in the opinion of Govern-;
nent Services, Inc., which operates
2 Government building cafeterias.
The meat lunch, which has cost
10 and 55 cents since June 30, will
;o back to 25 cents, without bever
ige, an official announced. This will
nean a "considerable operating
oss" and the overall loss will not
>e made up by the somewhat higher
■harges which became possible by
earlier decontrolling of various
bther foods. The principal vege
table luncheon will remain at 30
cents, with beverage, and has been;
onchanged in price since 1942, he
>aid.
An Olmstead Restaurant spokes
man described the rollback as "ri
diculous and unfair.” Poultry and
vegetable menu items may have to!
oe raised, but. “they can’t be in
creased very much because the pub
lic wouldn't take it,” she said.
Meat Decontrol Urged.
The S. & W. Cafeteria manager!
declared the ideal solution would be,
to decontrol meat. He said his
company has cut back the meatj
item prices to June 30 ceilings and!
that, though the drop in indi
vidual instances was 5 and 10 cents,
;he total decrease has already
amounted to the equivalent of a 3
per cent increase above normal in
:he cafeteria's food costs.
He predicted, however, that some
solution will be found for this situa
tion because it cannot continue in
definitely. But he added he was
not optimistic enough to believe
that OPA would revoke its edict.1
The manager of a large downtown
•estaurant said he had heard 'plenty!
nf criticism of the OPA bbys who do
this because they want to keep then
jobs," but he also criticized “some of
the restaurant fellows who are
squawking the loudest now.”
"Naturally, our profits will drop
and some of the smaller restaurants
may have to shut down," he de
clared. “OPA has no business in
food. But some restaurant people
bought a lot of meat at extremely
high prices since June 30 and now
they're squawking loudest because I
they’re stuck with it.”

Hearing Orders Suspension
Of 27 Striking Seamen
B/ the Associated Tress
NORFOLK, Va., Sept, 19—Lt,
Comdr. J. C. Saussy said a Coast
Guard hearing unit yesterday sus
pended 27 striking members of the
crew of the American steamer
James Bennett Moore on charges
of "desertion, in that they left their
vessel while on a foreign voyage.”
The 27 seamen, all National Mari
time Union members, were sus
pended for six months from serving
on ships, four months of which
are to be inoperative on condition
they violate no other regulations
for a period of eight months, Comdr.
Saussy, who presided at the hear
ing, reported.
He said the charges were insti
tuted by the captain of the steamer!
and the United States Lines, its
operating agency, after- the men had
walked off the ship when NMU
members were called on strike. The
ship sailed from New York last
week on her way to London via
Norfolk, and the men had signed
for the voyage under stipulations to
stay by their berths until lt was
completed.
Comdr. Saussy said the hearing
unit upheld the charge of desertion
in that the accused failed to live!
up to the foreign articles.

Snyder Serves Notice
U. S. Will Insist on
1934 Par for Dollar
ly Auociotad Pr«M
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
served notice yesterday the United
States would insist on other nations
honoring the dollar at the par value
set for it by President Roosevelt in
1934 which was $35 per ounce of
gold.
"The United States Government,”
he advised the International Mone
tary Fund, "does not believe it is
necessary to enter into discussions
* * * concerning changes in the par
value of the United States dollar.”
Called Soundest Money.
The fund last week called on all
its 39-member countries to report
the par value of their currencies in
terms of gold within 30 days. It al
lowed another 60 days for discus
sions aimed at reaching agreement
with any countries seeking a par
unsatisfactory to it.
Meanwhile, O. Max Gardner, Un
dersecretary of the Treasury, said
the United States dollar "is the
soundest money in the world.”
Mr. Gardner, in a speech today to
the annual convention of the Na
tional Association of Supervisors of
State Banks, in Cleveland, also said
he has "complete confidence in the
economic stability of this country.”
Sees Solution of Problem.
Business is good now for Job
hunters, employers and bankers, he
said, adding:
”1 am not a pessimist on the fu
ture of this Nation. I believe in the
capacity of the American people to
solve every problem that duty brings
before them.”
Mr. Gardner credited all 48 States
with “contributing powerfully to the!
national Rattle against deflation,”!
but he cautioned against regarding
the “unprecedented stream of State
revenue as the natural flow.”

Straw Vote Victors to Fill
Offices in Athens, Tenn.
By th« Associated Pr#*»
ATHENS, Tenn., Sept. 19.—A
straw vote will be conducted Sep-j
tember 27 in this small East Ten
nessee city of buflets and ballots
fame to learn the choices of resi

last night accepted ex-Mayor Paul

Strategic Air Command
Move Again Postponed
Headquarters of the Strategic Air
Com|nand will remain at nearby
Andrews Field for the remainder of
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947,
instead of moving to Colorado
Springs, Colo., as planned, the War
Department announced late yester
day.
This second postponement of mov
ing from the Washington area is
due to shortage of transportation
funds, freezing of construction funds
and inadequacy of housing at Colo-,
rado Springs. The last announced
postponement was November 1.
The Strategic Air Command, of
which Gen. George C. Kennpy is the
head, at one time had 1,017 military j
and civilian personnel based at An
drews and Bolling Fields, with a
squadron of planes for flying top- j
ranking military officers.
The 15th Air Force Headquarters
at the Colorado base was supposed
to move to Spokane, Wash., to make
room for Gen. Kenney's command.
However, it will remain at its pres
ent base.
