A United States submarine at

minute fight in which one member
OF the subs crew was killed.
The date Of the action was not

The crewman killed was Herbert

Brown 10 liberalize
Meat Rationing as
Soon as Possible
OPA Chiefs Statement
Gives No indication on
Size Of New Quotes
B, the Associated Press.

Price Administrator Prentiss
M. Brown promised today that
allowances under meat rationing,
which begins March 20. will be
liberalized whenever 1t becomes
possible to do So"
Mr.. Brown pointed out that the
flow of meat to market fiuctuates
from day to day and the perishable
nature of meat, butter and the other
items to be rationed will make
changes necessary from time to time.
His statement gave no indication
OF the size Of the proposed ration,
except to say:
The size of the individual ration
will largely depend on individual
preferences. The heavy cheese
eater can spend as many points
coupon values) as he has for that
product, and the heavy meat eater
can do likewise. Those who use
butter and lard in substantial guam
titles will be able to satisfy their
needs In the same manner, although,
OF course, all who do so will thus be
reducing the amounts Of other prod
ucts they can buy.
Il must caution housewives that
they cannot expect to be able to buy
every kind and variety of meat on
the day that rationing begins, and
perhaps for week or two after.
However, since demand Is being
spread evenly by rationing, it is ex-
pected that before many days (after
rationing begins) meat will flow into
shortage areas In varieties and
amounts sufficient to give every one
as much as his ration allows"
Together with price regulations,
slaughter permits, heavy fines and
Jail sentences being given violators
and other measures, Mr.. Brown
said, rationing should put the fin
ishing touches to black market
meat selling.
Two pounds may be the average,
but tentative plans for meat ration
ing would provide 81 pounds of
hamburger or only Ia pounds of
sirloin steak a person a week, it was
learned today from persons partici-
patlng in the drafting of the pro-
gram.
The wide discrepancy between the
proposed coupon costs of meat has
caused trade sources to complain to
the ONCE of Price Administration
that virtually the entire civilian
population might switch home con-
sumption from steaks and other cuts
to hamburger almost exclusively.
This might send unmanageable
crowds to the restaurants, where
steaks may be eaten without cou-
pons, they said, and result in serious
financial losses to meat retailers.

Russians Hear First
Official Appreciation
OF 0flease-Lend Aid
Newspapers PIoy Up
Litvinoff's Statement
Here on Anniversary
BY the Associated Press,

MOSCOW, March 13.-The
Russian people heard official
Russian appreciation of Ameri-
can ase-lend aid for the first
time today when Moscow's news
papers gave prominence to a
statement made by Ambassador
Maxim Litvinoff in Washington
on the second anniversary of
lease-lend two days ago.
The Ambassador was quoted as
having said that lease-lend ma
terial received by Russia had
brought tremendous aid, which is
deeply appreciated by the people
Of the Soviet Union, who are fully
aware of its extent.
In his Washington address,
which apparently was phrased as
a direct rebuttal to United States
Ambassador William H. Stand
| ley's recent assertion that the
Russian people were ignorant of
the extent of American aid, Mr..
Litvinoff said: supplies received
tby Russia through lease-lend
have been an enormous help and,
as such, deeply appreciated by
the people of the Soviet Union
who are fully aware OF its extent"
Todays newspapers also carried
excerpts from speeches made by
President Roosevelt, by Lease-Lend
Administrator Edward r. Stettinius
ir., and by British Ambassador Lord
Halifax at the anniversary celebra-
| ton in Washington.

Miners Tell Operator!
To Stop Da||ying on
Wage Agreement
Spokesman Says Union
Will Fight Any Denial
Of Bargaining Rights
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 13.-An Of
ficial of the United Mine Work.
ers Of America told Southern
coal operators today that the
union was not ready to suspend
collective bargaining, land that
means you had better sit down
and make a wage agreement
the thing you came here to do"
Sam Caddy, UNIV president Of
District 16 of Kentucky, made the
reply to the proposal of the South
ern Coal Producers Association yes
terday that negotiations for new
wage contract be adjourned until
three months after the wars end.
The proposal died yesterday when
the union, under the unit rule,
voted no"
Meanwhile the union announced
reelection Of John L. Lewis to his
18th term as international president
Of the mine workers.
Mr.. Lewis, who has been presi-
dent Of the union since 1920, was
unopposed in the election, which
was held December 8, as were John
OLeary, vice president, and Thomas
Kennedy, secretary treasurer, both
, Of whom were reelected.
Addressing the joint conference of
the Southern bituminous coal in
dustry, called to negotiate a new
| contract-the present one expires
March 31-Mr. Caddy said:
IF you came here to pretend to
make a wage agreement we might
as we'll know it. If you came with
the attitude that Uncle Sam or
somebody else is going to do it, it
Will be monumental blunder."
Mr.. Caddy declared that the op-
orators proposal, and the War La
Dor Boards Little Steel formula
would kill collective bargaining in
the Nation.
Il doubt if $4,000, 900 tons of coal
will ever come out of the mines of
America by the use Of great big
stick in place of collective bargain
ing. The best way to get $50, 1000, 900
tons is TO negotiate an agreement. "
He said the Little Steel formula
not only denied wage increase
but it denies collective bargaining
He added that 1t was outdated and
"a great injustice" to the miners.
He declared that miners were go
ing to resist any efforts to deny
them collective bargaining"
Miners are not going to give it
up collective bargaining) without
a damn good fight somewhere along
the lines" he declared.
