CIO Maritime Leaders
Meet With Murray
To Discuss Strike End
By James Y. Newton
Prospects were brighter today
for early end of the 16-day-old
•hipping tieup as CIO maritime
headers met with President Philip
Murray for discussions of the
eurrent strike and another
threatened for September 30.
Although there were indications
that a ruling in favor of higher pay
iy Federal Arbitrator James L. Fly
ould end the strike of the CIO Na
tional Maritime Union, the outlook
for any lengthy maritime peace was
gloomy.
Mr. Murray met with the executive
board of the CIO-dominated Com
mittee for Maritime Unity and the
main topic of discussions concerned
the threatened strike of two mem
ber unions in 10 days. The unions,
Whose contracts expire September
80, ar? the West Coast longshore
men, headed by Harry Bridges, and
the Marine Engineers Beneficial As
sociation, both CIO.
Engineers Ask 30 Per Cent More.
The engineers have demanded 30
per cent higher pay, while Mr.
Bridges has not made known his
wage demands. However, he has.
broken off negotiations with Pacific
water-front employers. All signs
point to a new strike unless the
Issues are cleared up The two groups
claim support of the other five
unions of the Committee for Mari
time Unity.
On the brighter side. Joseph Cur
; Tan. president of the National Mari
time Union and co-chairman with
Mr. Bridges of CMU. said he believed
that a membership meeting of his
Union in New York today could "re
sult in the men's return to wofk" and
that he would recommend it—"all
, things being equal." He did not
elaborate on the latter phrase.
Mr. Curran said he was in receipt
©f a telegram from J Godfrey But
ler. labor relations director for the
Maritime Commission, to Frank J.
Taylor, head of the American Mer
chant Marine Institute, which repre
sents East and Gulf Coasts shipping, -
advising him that the commission
had accepted the higher wage award
©f Mr. Fly
AFL Parity Awarded.
Mr Fly ruled that NMU seamen
should receive increases ranging
from $5 to $30 a month, bringing
•them to parity with AFL seamen.
More importantly, the arbitrator
granted CIO able-bodied seamen a
boost of $10. It w-as an argument
ever able-seamen's pay that led to
the AFL strike September 5. which
was carried on by the CIO a week
ago when the higher AFL pay was
approved.
Two other unions besides the NMU
are currently on strike. These are
the CIO Marine Cooks and Stewards
and the Marine Firemen's Union.
Independent. The two operate large
ly on the West Coast. Both are
members of the Committee for Mari
time Unity
In San Francisco the CMU said
in a statement relative to the
Fly award that it hoped that by noon
today "the United States Maritime
Commission or the West Coast ship
owners would give assurance” that
ihe higher pay would be applied
•throughout the industry-.
' Within a few days, Mr. Fly will
hand down another ruling concern
ing wage demands of the marine
books. The award yesterday con
cerned only the NMU, largest CIO
maritime group.
Shipping Still Paralyzed.
Mr. Taylor's East and Gulf ship
^operators group accepted the Fly
ruling late yesterday.
■ Meantime. American shipping still
W’as largely immobilized. Foreign
ships. American tankers and those
,;tiry-cargo vessels manned with AFL
_«rews were operating. Troop ships
~llso were working Cargo w-as piled
.high in all ports as a result of the
-Jong strike.
West Coast shipping interests
have refused to negotiate w-ith the
Marine Cooks and the Firemen until
they end the strike, w-hich. the ow-n
ers say, is in breach of contract.

Threat of Court Fight
Brings OPA Review
01 Cafe Rollback
OPA today began a review of
its order rolling back prices of
restaurant meals containing
meat to June 30 levels, after the
restaurant industry pledged sup
port to any cafe owner brought
into court for failing to observe
new ceilings.
OPA's promise to take a second
look at its edict came after restau
rant and hotel groups refused to
submit figures on profits on the
basis that they are "not conclusive
and OPA does not have anything
to do with profit control."
Backing up the two industries’
notice of a "fight to the finish,” a
group of Milwaukee restaurant op
erators yesterday obtained a tempo
rary injunction from a Federal
court against OFA's enforcement of!
the order. The case will be argued
Monday.
Porter's Plan Rejected.
Price Administrator Paul Porter
had said earlier that if the industry
can show its earnings are below
1941 levels, then an increase in
ceiling prices can be provided "under
the price-control law.
In turning this jjown restaurant!
officials said OPA already has been
given ample proof of much higher I
costs of food, labor and supplies.
Last night OPA said that "because
of widespread protest^ from the in
dustry" it if reviewing iti restaurant
price jfoliey. ' ' '
Industry spokesmen declared the
issue is bigger than the size of the
rollback or its dangers to public eat
jing establishments. They opposed,!
in principle, "this new policy of
forced price absorption."
They predicted that if it is al
lowed to stand In the case of j
restaurants it ultimately will be im-;
posed on other businesses. They also
saw in it an "unwarranted effort to
control profits."
Crge Compliance With Order.
Washington hotel and restaurant
associations urged their members
to comply with the OPA order.
National industry representatives
anrtounced also that "we are not
advising members to violate the
law.” But national and local groups
said they were ready to take court
action as soon as test cases develop
through possible arrests for non
compliance.
Robert G. Le Sauvage, spokesman
for the National Restaurant Asso
ciation and chairman of the Na
tional Restaurant Advisory Commit
tee. and John L. Hennessy of the
American Hotel Association, dis
closed that they had refused to give
OPA a statement of industry profits.:
They declared that comprehensive
data could not be obtained from
the more than 525.000 restaurants,
and that OPA had no right to ask
for sucn information.
The national representatives and
an emergency committee of Wash
ington restaurant and hotel men,
however, made public at the May
flower Hotel last night results of a
survey indicating increases in food,!
labor and supply costs to hotels and
restaurants since 1943. This ma
1 terial, they said, had been presented,
to OPA but "OPA paid no attention
to it.”
The summary, based on replies to
questionnaires, included only one
hotel in this area and "therefore
may not truly reflect the general
■ condition in this region," it was ex
plained. Pood costs to establish
! ments in Middle Atlantic States in
creased 25 per cent, labor costs, 38
per cent, and supplies. 36 per cent,
according to the survey.
Mr. Le Sauvage and his associates
took issue with an OPA spokesman
who earlier said Administrator
Porter was available for a confer
ence. but that no request had been
made. Mr. Le Sauvage said his
group tried unsuccessfully to see
Mr. Porter yesterday, but had to re
turn to New York late last night
for a conference with other industry
representatives this morning.
He reported that C Dean McNeal.
head of the OPA food price division,
yesterday •'definitely denied" the
request that the rollback order be
rescinded and that OPA permit "the
writing of a simple regulation apply
ing the operator’s customary margin
to the acquisition costs of food ”
The restaurant and hotel people,
he declared, hav- abandoned their
. original idea of pressing for an ex
tension of time on the rollback
order.
"We are fighting for a principle,”
he declared "We think this OPA
move is really an attempt at profit
control and cost absorption. We
believe the order is unsound and
unconstitutional and contrary to the
intent of Congress. The fight is
now bigger than the restaurant
industry and it is pot a problem of
the current meat shortage. We are
• championing the cause of every in
dustry that has been subject to the
abuse of OPA power.”

U. S. to Net 208 Million Profit
On Potatoes Costing 42 Million
By the Associated Press
The Government figures to make
a profit of more than $200,000,000 on
$42,000,000 spent so far this year
supporting producer prices of pota
toes.
The profit prospect was outlined
today by Agriculture Department of
ficials who explained:
The agency has purchased 32,000.
000 bushels of surplus potatoes at a
cost of $42,000,000, including han
dling and transportation charges.
The potatoes were sold to starch
makers and liquor distillers for
i about $10,000.000—a lass of $32.
000.000.
But the whisky produced from the
potatoes will bring in at least $240,
000,000 in liquor taxes, turning the
loss into a $208,000,000 Government
profit.
The potatoes were bought under
a wartime act of Congress requir
ing the department to guarantee
farmers specified minimum prices
for various food products and en
courage them to produce abundantly
for war needs.
This year's potato crop was one
of the largest of record and con
siderably larger than consumer food
demands. The extra production so
depressed prices that the Govern-:
ment had to buy surpluses to carry
out the producer price guarantee.
At the present time producer;
prices of potatoes are being sup-‘
ported at an average of about $1.50
per hundred pounds, or about l'aj
cents a pound. Officials said con
sumers are paying an average of
about 30 cents for 10 pounds, or 3
cents a pound.
Officials said present consumer
prices of potatoes are much closer
to prewar levels than those of most
other food and nonfood products,
averaging only about 30 per cent'
higher than before Pearl Harbor.
Security Council Votes
On Greek Issue Today;
U. S. Proposals Due
By the Aisociated Preit
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y„ Sept. 20
—The United Nations Security |
Council was ready for balloting to
day on whether it will by-pass or
deal further with questions raised
by the Soviet Ukraine’s charges that
Greece, with British aid. is threaten
ing peace in the Balkans.
Concluding its third week of de
bate on the issue, the Council had
before it an apparently foredoomed
Soviet resolution laying- the blame
solely on Greece for reported Al
banian border incidents, and coun
terproposals of the Netherlands
and Australia.
. In addition, the United States
delegation was ready to present al
ternate proposals before the voting
begins, and will join the leadership
for majority rejection of the Rus
sian resolution.
United States Delegate Herschel
V. Johnson was expected to press
for a Council commission or sub
committee which would examine in
cidents and the plights of racial mi-1
norities, not only along the Albanian
border but on the entire Greek fron
tier, which also touches on Bulgaria
and Yugoslavia.
Such a proposed commission could
study the situation at first hand; a
subcommittee might examine all the
presented evidence and perhaps call
for further information while sitting
here.
The resolution offered by Russian,
Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko, cur
rent Council chairman, seeks to have
the Council hold Greece responsible
foi the Albanian border situation on
the basis of charges made bv
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitri
Manuilsky. The resolution also
would require Greece to cease ‘‘dis
turbing peace" in the Balkans and
would keep the case on the agenda
until the situation calmed.
Only Poland has supported Mr.
Gromyko's proposal.
The Netherlands proposal would
have the Council call on Greece, Al
bania. Bulgaria and Yugoslavia to
pacify their borders, but would re
frain from any attempt at fixing the
blame for the reported troubles.
The Australian resolution simply
provides that the Council pass on to
tJie next business, thus sidetracking
the Ukraine's charges but leaving
them on the agenda for revival at
any time at the call of any mem
ber.
Russia and Poland have opposed
the Netherlands and Australian
proposals, and there was the pos
sibility that Mr. Gromyko would
exercise the veto, if necessary, in
attempts to kill the Netherlands and
United States resolutions.
The well - supported Australian
motion was presented as a pro
cedural matter, not subject to veto.
If adopted it would open the way
for discussion of the Russian de
mand for reports by the United
Nations on the dispositions of Allied
troops and air and sea bases in
foreign non-enemy countries as of
last August 1.
The tentative American proposal,
outlined by Mr. Johnson during de
bate in the past week/was regarded
as not in conflict with the Austral
ian motion. Rather, the American
proposal could serve as a starting
point whenever the case might be
revived or as a device to hand the
issue immediately to a subcommit
tee or commission while the Council
itself proceeded to the next business
at hand.
Twenty thousand motion picture
theaters are to be opened in Russia's
rural districts.

SUVA. Fiji Islands, Sept. 20 —Two
relief ships were due today to
make the first contact with isolated
Niuafoou inland whose^flaming vol-:

District Drive Planned
To Help Find Jobs for
HandicappedWorkers
A report disclosing that 228.000
disabled veterans and 85.000 disabled
civilians are now job-hunting was
made public today as the District
Commissioners called upon Wash
ington residents to observe October
6 to 12 as National Employ the
Physically Handicapped Week.
The Commissioners’ proclamation,
following an earlier one from the
President, urged civic groups to hold
exercises to foster the widest pos
sible public support for and interest
in the employment of otherwise
qualified but physically handicapped
workers.
The Commissioners said it should
be a "matter of patriotic pride to
as all to lend our assistance to those
heroes of the war w ho returned with
physical handicaps."
28 Million Have Disabilities.
A report made public by the Re
training and Re-employment Ad
ministration showed that a mini
mum of 28,000,000 persons in the
United States have some physical
disability. While most of them have
disabilities which do not prevent
them from doing satisfactory work,
approximately 2.500.000 persons of
working age have injuries which
interfere with their getting and
holding suitable jobs, the report
said.
In addition to the 228.000 disabled
veterans who are now ready for work
and registered with the United
States Employment Service, the
RRA said, approximately 100.000
more are taking vocational rehabili
tation courses under the Veterans'
Administration and soon will be
job hunting. Others are in training
under the GI Bill of Rights.
Tremendous Cost Cited.
"The cost in money, manpower,
productive energy and happiness due
to unemployment of handicapped
persons is tremendous ai»d most of
that cost is unnecessary,” the RRA
report commented.

Decision on Restoring
Dairy Price Ceilings
Is Due Late Today
ly th# Auocioted Prasa
The Price Decontrol Board ex
pects to decide today whether
prices of milk, butter, cheese and
other dairy products have risen
“unreasonably" during the past
month.
A spokesman for the three-mem
be independent agency said It
planned to announce the decision
about 4 p.m. after commodity mar
kets and trading have ended for the
day.
if the finding is that prices have^
climbed too high, the board could
direct return of OPA ceilings to
single products, such as cheese or
butter, or reimpose controls over the
entire list of dairy products.
The panel also could order con
trols over milk on a regional basis.
Can Do Nothing About Meat.
Today's scheduled decision was
set exactly one month after the
board held on August 20 that milk
and Its products should continue
free of OPA restrictions while the
industry had a fair trial at holding
its own prices in line.
Meanwhile, the panel emphasized
that it can do nothing now about
appeals concerning asserted “meat
famines” growing out of its action
last month placing meats and live
stock back under price lids.
Through an information aide, the
board said that under terms of the
OPA Extension Act, it can not con
sider decontrolling meats or any
other controlled product unless a
request first is made to Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson and
rejected.

assertion during an inspection tour.
He added, however, that he found
no mines closed for lack of meat.
Mr. Lewis told the board some work

Mr. Myers, head of the group

The supply of suits, topcoats and

the end of that period the demand
will keep stores from building up

The shortage of men's furnish

Mr. Myers said production already
is above the 1939 level but that
