meat and meat animals were
ample" but that householders in
some cities may not be able to OBJ
tain certain kinds of meat at their
butcher shops.
The packer offered this explana-
ton.
Although the supply would be con-
sidered large in normal times, the
Government is taking big share
for the armed forces and for lease
lend purposes
Some communities may not be
able to procure the varieties they
want because of a shortage of ship
ping facilities or trafic congestion,
particularly in war work centers.
Ceilings placed on pork and beef
prices by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration also are a factor be-
cause a packer with limited supply
would prefer to send meat to a city
with a comparatively high ceiling,
rather than to another with low
price limit.

Hull Won't Discuss Report
OF Argentine Fear Of U. 5.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull withheld
comment today on remarks attribut-
ed to Argentina's foreign minister
Enrique Ruiz Guinazu, to the effect
that his country feared United
States military expansion in the
Western Hemisphere even more than
German victory.
Dispatches from South America
have reported that Ruiz Guinazu
told a secret session of the Argen-
tine Chamber of Deputies last
Thursday that the United States
was leading other American Repub-
lies by the nose" and had tried to
involve Argentina in the war by
exerting pressure on her to convoy
her own ships.
In reply to questions. Mr. Hull
said he had no official facts on the
reported statement, and that until
the full facts had come to his at
tention he would not assume that
any such statement had been made.

D. {. Tax Exemption Bill
Introduced in Senate

At the request of Chairman NC
Carran of the Senate District Com
mittee, Senator Clark, Democrat, of
Idaho today introduced a bill to
exempt certain hospitals, educa-
tional, charitable and allied institu-
tions performing humanitarian
work from District real estate taxes
The bill is companion to one
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Hunter, Democrat. OF
Ohio.
"On the construction by District
omcials of certain provisions of ex-
listing law" Senator Clark told the
Senate, "it has become necessary
to return to the tax rolls certain
benevolent and charitable institu-
tons in the District.
Some of these institutions, in
the opinion of Chairman McCarran
and many other members of Con-
gress, are performing such charit-
able services as to warrant their ex-
emption from taxation. 1t is felt
that the bill introduced today will
provide the vehicle to bring about
a correction of existing inequali-
ties. In some. instances, special leg
islation probably will be necessary
to care for certain meritorious cases
not provided for in this bill"

Pacific Council Plans
Moves 10 Turn Tide
Against Japs in China
Roosevelt Is Present
At White House Session;
Nash Shows Optimism
Bv GARNETT d. HORNER.

Plans for new moves which
may turn the tide of China's
battle against the japanese in
vaders in favor Of the United
Nations cheered the Pacific War
Council today.
"We worked out the procedure to
be followed to assure that China
puts up the best fight she cam New
Zealand Minister Walter Nash told
reporters after a meeting Of the
council with President Roosevelt at
the White House.
DR.. T. v. Soong, Chinese Foreign
Minister, said he explained to the
council in detail the position of the
fighting lines in China, the routes
of communications and some of
the possibilities of developing the
situation in China in our favor
Session Called Interesting.
Mr.. Nash described the session as
zone of the most interesting" since
creation of the council, composed of
Representatives of those United Ma
tions actively engaged in the war
against Japan.
I'VE know now he said, how to
get supplies into China, how much,
when we are going to get them in
and what is likely to happen
In view of announcements oi
grave developments in the ocean
shipping situation. Mr.. Nash's COM
ments on supplying China may have
referred to the airplane ferry serv-
ice which the United States Army
some months ago established be-
tween India and Chungking.
BY using planes, large amounts OF
material can be lifted over the high
mountains separating the two coun-
tries and make up for some at least
of the supply facilities lost when
the japanese cut the Burma road.
Talks With Map.
DR.. Soong said he used map tt
outline graphically the fighting lines
and supply problems in China, SC
that the situation could be better
understood by other members.
None of the council member.
would discuss details of the new
plans. In recent weeks. DR.. Soone
has emphasized the need for addi.
tional air support for the Chinese
fighting forces, and the supply prob.
lem has been more acute since los,
of the Burma road.
DR.. Soong said he would rather
not discuss whether the possibility
of japanese attack on Siberia, OF
the question of second front, hae
been brought up during today''
meeting.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., July % tP,.-
A shortage of beef in the Providence
area today was unofficially at
tributed to confusion over applica-
ton of new ceiling prices and the
refusal of Chicago packing houses
to ship dressed beef on which there
is a ceiling price when they have
to pay farmers higher prices for
livestock.
Two large packing houses said
they had no beef Monday and re-
ceipts of three carloads yesterday
were snapped up by jobbers and
retailers. Six chain retail stores
said they had no beef for sale today,
while deliveries to another have
been cut two thirds for an indefinite
period.
The meat buyer for two large
retail markets said: I'VE thought
we were in trouble during the beef
shortage six weeks ago, but we really
are in trouble now" This buyer,
unable to get beef from Chicago
packing house branches, said he was
forced to buy it wherever he can
find it" from independent packing

Some packers who refused to be
named said new regulations effective
July l3 brought the situation to a
head. These regulations made
/ changes in grading of cuts Of veal.
! in which the principal shortages
were reported here.
One dealer reported he was paying
23ls to "a cents a pound for a cut
of beef that he cannot sell for more
than % cents under the maximum
price ceiling. Another reported veal
costing 80 cents dressed had to be
sold for Is cents.
Cincinnati Hog Kills Reduced.
In Cincinnati, packers reported
they were reducing hog-kills by at
least a third and beef by rs to IS
per cent.
Instead of killing 10000 to H.
900 hogs this week, we'll be lucky II
we kill 7000," one packer said.
with ceiling of 1881, and the
current price $15.15, we can't afford
to handle them. And, on beef, the
farmers are holding back-they
won't sell"
"It Just means that in towns not
having their own packing houses,
people won't be able to get much
meat. Here, and in towns where
there are packers, you may have to
be content with something else when
you wanted steak, or a ham," he
said.
Cincinnatis Ed Stegner, leading
professor of meat and canned food
products, reported that Govern
ment fixed ceilings" have halted
his output of Government orders
destined for military use.
Mr.. Stegner said his firm finished
up the last order" July 10.
I'VE can't meet the ceiling for
the finished product" he said. Its
probably only a temporary condi-
ton, but it's there, just the same,
and in my personal opinion, getting
worse.
State May Slaughter Meat.
Ohio's problem of furnishing suf-
ficient meat to its welfare institu-
tions was partly solved, but the
possibility remained the State would
be forced to slaughter its own beef
to meet August requirements. Her
bert r. Mooney. assistant welfare
| director, said at Columbus.
Mr.. Mooney said "the only OUT
which will ease critical meat
situation in the department was to
ask for alternative bids on higher
grade, known as commercial grade,
for which no ceiling price has been
fixed.
Mr.. Mooney said after a con-
ference with Lee Pierson, State
purchasing agent, that difficulties
were augmented by the fact the
so-called utility grade, together with
the other low grades of meats in
cluding Gamer" and cutter" had
been taken by the Government and

Western Union Held
Unable 10 Hire All
Postal Force in Merger
Williams Sees Threut
To SoIvency; ChinIund
Expects U. S. Control
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
A. N. Williams, president of the
Western Union Telegraph Co, told
a House Interstate Commerce Sub
committee today that under the pro-
posed merger of Western Union and
Postal Telegraph his company could
utilize only about ALSO out Of Postal s
$500 workers. FEt< ~ Fs
He suggested to the committee
that of the 5000 Postal employees
not needed at once in the eonsolldat-
ing operation. 2.496 with less than
two wears service should be released
with severance pay under the SEN
ate-approyed merger bill. The other
2.5o4 would, under the terms OF the
bill, he said, have to be given en-
uloyment by Western Union even II
it has no work for them to do.
Yesterday Chairman James L. Fly
of the Federal Communicate tlons
Commission told the committee he
thought workers displaced In the
merger could be absorbed in Gov
ernment communications services.
Calls Clause 100 StNefe.
Mr.. Williams suggested that the
clause in the bill calling for en-
ployment for five years of those
workers who were employed on or
before March /. 194l, was too severe.
If Western Union were to absorb
Postal" Mr.. Williams said, and
in a month or a year or two years
after the volume of telegraph busl-
ness decreased because of the termi-
nation of the war or any other
reason, Western Union would under
the terms of the bill be obliged to
retain in its service all the en-
ployes of both companies whose en-
ployment with either company be-
gan prior to March l, 194l.
This would be too great gamble
for any company. 1t might weaken
it erreparably or even threaten its
solvency."
He was not suggesting however,
he said, that Postal employees not
needed under consolidating opera
tions be summarily dismissed with
out consideration"
Sees Cure for Ills.
Edwin F. Chinlund, president OF
the Postal Telegraph & Cable Co.,
testified that the proposed merger
would cure most of the present ills
of the telegraph business"
He told the committee that his
company is losing approximately
100000 a month. and that it now
owes the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. approximately $7,225 900,
Mr.. Chinlund also expressed the
opinion that the trend of events.
including an increased acute short
age of employees, will probably re-
suit in Government control of opera
ton in a short time.
The present time is most favorable
for the merger, Mr.. Chinlund said,
adding:
There has never been a time in
the history of the telegraph indus
try when because of the war situa-
ton merger could be effected under
more favorable circumstances for
the employees than at the present
time-because Of the shortage that
Is growing in available telegraph
employees today.
Also, particularly as to Postal
Telegraph employees, it is the surest
way Of securing increased wages at
the earliest date"
