 More gypsies are expected to ar- rive soon. ordered to this area by Louis Mort, farm labor co-ordina. tor for the Romany clans through out the United States. One of the tribesmen pointed out that gypsies long since have given up horse. trading for nomad agricultural ia. bor, touring the entire West from Southern California to Idaho, de- pending on where Mort feels they are needed.
 Praised By Employers
 The police chief of Mendota, where the Romany camp is estab- lished, reported that they are we'll behaved citizens. Managers for whom they are harvesting crops say they are excellent workers. Most of them work in carrot and broccoli fields, but younger ones are in the armed forces or nearby defense inc dustries.
 To be on good terms with gypsy, it's best to refer to him as a Ro- many. The name "gypsy", they feel, has unpleasant connotations of sharp dealings in horse tradings. They also scoR at the theory that every Romany clan has its own king.
 "The President of the United States is our king" one said.
 Support War Effort
 Names of clan members are con- fusing even to some of the gypsies. They themselves are not sure where or when they acquired such sur. names as Peterson or Jones. One Romany explained 1t by saying:
 Maybe my folks did not know how to spell their real name when they landed at Ellis Island"

 So 1t is possible that Admiral Standley was not charging Russia with deceit but waS trying as best he could in his bluff Sailorman way to tip of the Russians as to how to help their case.
 In any event, what does 1t matter whether we get as many bouquets as we think we deserve? Thousands of Russian men are dying to kill Germans. That's what we want the defeat of the German army. It Is not appropriate for us to com. plain if we don't get enough pats on the back.

ent Of Nations Meat Is Bought Through Black Market Say Packers
First Of Three ArtlCles) By JAMES THRASHER NEA Stan CmrA@saAnflenk

 Washington, March l0-Mr. Wotz- isname, who owns Q butcher shop but not much merchandise, looks longingly at the meat hung in the wholesale dealers cooler. Then he takes of his hat and lays 1t on the floor.
 He Solemnly addresses the whole- saler: "Joe, I'll bet you $50 you can't jump over that hat"
 Joe just as solemnly takes the bet, jumps over the hat and poe kets the $50. Then Mir. Wotzisname finds he can select Q few sides of beef.
 Another butcher enters. Sorry, Joe tells him, but there just isn't any beef available. But at that mo- ment Joe spies several large-de- nomination bills lying in the saw. dust. The butcher assures Joe they aren't his. So Joe picks them up, adds them to his matchmaking win- nings, and happens to remember that he does have Q little beef left.
 Out in the country @ farmer with truckload of cattle stops at the intersection of his dirt road and the highway to the city. A stranger steps up.
 Taking those cattle to the ter- minal?" the stranger asks. That's silly. Why waste your gas and tires to haul them in there and sell them for $l5.50? I'll give you $l6.75 for 'em, here and now" He produces the money.
 sister" says the farmer, they're yours"
 Those are just two ways in which the black market works. The stories are true, and they illustrate the two principal aspects of "meatleg- ging:" price gouging and illegal slaughter. They're typical of @ situation that certainly will persist, at least to some extent, for the duration, even though 1900 OPA investigators are in the field fight ing 1t, and in spite of the fact that ceilings, rationing and slaughter and-packing controls will clamp down hard by April 1.
 A $75,OOO BONUS
 Meat is not the only commodity on the black market, of course. There are gasoline and tire boot leggers and some illegal traffic in poultry, butter and fresh fruits and vegetables. But meat Is the worst problem, as 1t is In warning Europe's black market. And both the office of Price Administration and the Department of Agriculture sadly admit that 1t will continue to be a problem just as long as some per. sons greed and responsibility overcome their patriotism and com. mon sense.
 Right now. with adequate con- trols still around the corner, the black market Is at its blackest. An Agriculture Department official, just back from an inspection tour in the Middle West, heard two stor. les from responsible Cleveland pack CTS that ernprasize the seriousness of the situation.
 One packer was visited by an Eastern buyer who came Into his office carrying @ satchel that con- tained $75,000. He wanted beef and was willing to pay the ceiling price for 1t. The $75000 (which wasn't accepted) was simply to be @ bonus.
 The Cleveland terminal sells about 1900 head of cattle on @ normal Monday, the head buyer of a packing house told this off, cial. But on recent Monday, only AIS head were on the market. This buyer took l27, and other repre- sentatives of legitimate firms took

Washington, March 10-Most oi the comment here is that Ambas sador Standley's remarks at Moscow were unfortunate. Acting Secretary of State Welles said the ambassador spoke without Washington's prior knowledge.
 The incident very much disturbE this government because of discus sions that may take place before long concerning the United States Great Britain and Moscow.
 As 1t is, the atmosphere is not toe good so far as the United States and Russia are concerned. Ambas- sador Litvino7, the Soviet repre- sentative here, is withdrawing more and more into seclusion. He is sel- dom seen and participates little in the active life of Washington now although for a while after his ar- rival he and Madame Litvinofi mingled everywhere and everything was extremely cordial.
 I don't mean to say that there is any acute trouble. But when the vice president of the United States gets up in public meeting and warns as MT. Wallace did at Delaware, Ohio, this week, that there will be another war if we double-cross Russia, there is something wrong with the relations between us. You don't talk about such things when feeling is all right.
 Conversations are planned to try to clear up any possible cause of this drifting apart of the United States and our Soviet ally. Some of the most responsible persons in this government deeply hope that that the discussions will be success full.
 It is unfortunate to inject into such a delicate situation the petty controversy over whether the Rus sians are showing enough appre- citation of our help. The fact that there is an underlying uneasiness here concerning Russian high policy adds additional explosive power to the incident which is actually a trivial one.
 As one reads the various dis patches, there is some doubt as to whether Admiral Standley was in effect charging the Soviet govern ment with deception, or whether he was trying to suggest in help full way that the Russians could speed up our help if they would butter us a little more. I am not in just what spirit Ambassador sure, from reading the dispatches Standley spoke. Perhaps he was inept in trying to be helpful.
 Most of the dispatches represent ed Ambassador Standley as prac- tically charging that the Soviet government had withheld infor- nation in order to make the Rus sian people think they were pulling themselves up by their own boot straps.
 On the other hand. the New York Times correspondent in Moscow, Ralph Parker, sent dispatch which was buried by his paper but which puts a considerably different light. a softer light, on Admiral Standley's remarks.
 The Times correspondent gave the impression that Admiral Stand ley was not rebuking Moscow but was arguing for more publicity as a good way to further American sentiment especially in Congress, for more lend-lease to Russia.
 
 Anyway 1t is much ado unneces- sarily. State Department infornia- ton is that our statements about the volume of Russian lend-lease material have been printed in Pravda, UsSR official newspaper Henry Cassidy.

But whatever the percentage, 1t repre- sents a tremendous loss to @ coun- try whose meat supply has passed almost overnight from surplus to scarcity. And 1t means that the armed services have had to do without millions of pounds of badly needed meat.
