Von Arnin1 To Get
 Paid As Prisoner

London, May 10-(UP)-COl.- Gen. Jurgen yon Arnim, cap tured commander of Axis troops in Tunisia, will get his regular German army pay amounting to about $64 a month while he Is prisoner in England, a war office spOkes- man said In commons today. Won Arnim's pay as a high ranking Nazi officer Is about equal to that of a U. $. Army corporalD
 The information was elicited by laborites, who wanted to know whether von Arnim's rank would give him preferen- tial treatment. The spokesman told them that pay provisions were set out by Geneva con- ventions covering treatment of war prisoners.
 A question as to whether in- come tax would be deducted at the source drew only laughter, but the spokesman did say that Britain would collect the money paid von Arnim from Germany after the war. The convention provides that a captured officer is paid his own rate or that of the country making him a prisoner, which ever is lower.

POINT VALUES
 TO BE CHANGED

Washington, May 19-(UP).-Ra- tioning officials said today that sub stantial changes in point values for practically all meat classifications to be announced soon probably will be maintained for the most part through the summer months.
 Points for more perishable items, including all pork products and some variety meats, will be lowered, 1t was said, while in meat categories where shortages have been frequent, beef for example, the point value will be increased.
 An official of the War Food Ad- ministration said point values nave been too low for the quality of beef available, but that OPA has been reluctant to make changes because of public opposition. Rationing of- flcials said, however, that changes would have to be made to divert beef from civilian supplies and channel 1t to the armed forces, who have not been getting as much as tbey need

 Moscow, May 19-(UP)-Russian forces have surrounded and de- stroyed with artillery fire an impor- kant concentration of German tanks and trucks in forest, the official Army newspaper Red Star reported today.
 Aerial photographs revealed only charred remains of the armor and vehicles, the article said. The Rus sians ringed the woods with big guns without detection by the en- emy and pumped shells at such a rate that not single piece of equip ment escaped.
 Red Star reported that the bat tie for air supremacy was ncreas- ing in intensity, with the enemy continually bringing up new squad- rons of Focke Wulfs and Messer- schmitts. The Germans were said to have lost more than 800 planes in combat during the last three weeks. The newspaper said the enemy was concentrating a bomber force for front line operations rather than attacks on Soviet tar gets behind the lines.
 The Russians continued to repulse small scale attacks northeast ot Novorossisk in the Kuban area where operations were reported to have settled down to a positional campaign.
 Russian troops killed 100 men and sank four boats loaded with Ger mans as they tried to cross river in the Kuban area, the Soviet mid day communique announced.
 The Axis attack was launched northeast of Novorossisk.
 (The British radio quoted a Rus sian military commentator as say ing that the Russians were seven miles from Novorossisk at the near est pointD
 (German military sources report ed that the Red Army was massine troops at three main centers-Len- inprad. the Kuban area and in the Orel sector south of MoScoW-aS though preparing for major offen' give at one or all of those placesO
 The communique said Russian sco,,ts and sripers killed 150 of the enemy on the western front. In one bitter hand -to-hand fight the Rus sians broke into the German trenches, killed 40 men and destroy ed seven pillboxes and one artillery observation point. Some prisoners were taken. |.

NEW UNREST IN BALKANS LOOMS
Italian Naval Cadets Re- fuse to Declare Loyalty
 to MussOlini
BY JOHN A. PARRIS United Press Staff Correspondent

London, May 19. - (UP) - Swiss sources learned from & reliable quarter today that Italian Naval Cadets, proclaimtng their loyalty to King Victor Emmanuel, had clashed with Fascist party members at Leghorn and that several persons had been arrested.
 The Cadets of the Leghorn Naval Academy, known as the Annapolis of Italy, were reported to have paraded last Friday carrying flags of Italy surmounted with the blue ribbon of the House of Savoy.
 One Cadet was said to have made a speech declaring loyalty only to the king. Fascists appeared on the scene, it was said, demanding that the same be said of Benito Musso- lini. When the Cadet refused, there was clash. Police were called and arrested several of the Cadets, ac- cording to the report
 Reports of dispute betWeeen young King Michael and Premier Ion Antonescut of Rumania also were heard today as observers kept an eye on the Balkans because of the part they may play in invasion of Europe.
 An Istanbul dispatch to the News Chronicle, quoting neutral diplo- matic source, said that the Ruman- ian dictator had offended the king and the queen mother, Helen, by attempting to establish an inde- pendent court apart from the palace.
 The report said Antonescu's wife, Maria, was playing a game of in trigue in collaboration with the Nazis and was posing as Rumania' s first lady. This was said to have stirred resentment among subjects who hold the queen mother in high regard.
 It was reported Antonescu re- gently invoked a superior military rank in an effort to place the king under three days military arrest and warned the queen mother that she would be sent from the country If she tried to meddle in affairs of state.
 The Greek Hellenic News Service reported in Cairo that four train loads of Italian troops had been transferred back to Italy from Greece. The dispatch said that a

Washington, May l9.-(UP)-Sen. James M. Mead, D., N. Y, caid today he could not accept appointment as a national coordinator of sports and suggested that university athletic director would be more proper selection.
