Point Value Of Lamb
And Probably Butter
will Be Reduced

The Office of Price Admins
tration will slash the ration
point values of lamb cuts SO per
cent or more beginning April 80,
and there were indications today
the ration cost of butter might
be reduced 4 points, to IL al
pound.
An OPA spokesman said, how
ever, reports that butter was to be
reduced to 5 points a pound, pork
removed from the ration list and
beef and veal points sharply re-
duced, amounted to q wild, over
drawn guess" It was apparent,
however. that the housewife will bel
able to buy considerably more meat
in May than in the current month.
Reduction In lamb point values
was prompted by drought conditions
prevalent in pasture land Of the
West and Southwest. It Is neces-
sary to move the spring lambs to|
market in hurry, the spokesman
said, even though the animals are
light in weight.
Army to Require Less.
The armed forces have stated they
will require 10 per cent less butter
in May than in April, he continued.
This will make available to civilians
about 10000, 900 more pounds than
the home front is receiving in April.
OF pork. the official said fewer
hogs are going to market so while
it appeared unlikely pork will be re-
moved from rationing. some point
reductions are possible.
The official declined comment on
the possibility of reductions in beef
point values. Some changes are
possible, but they are not expected
to be important.
All changes In values in the meats
fats-cheese ration program for May
Will be announced officially next
week.
Meanwhile, Secretary Of Com
merce Jones was called before the
House Banking Committee today to
explain why meat and butter are
listed as critical war materials.

Senate Will Receive
Plea 10 Probe Course
|0f Censored Mail
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

A resolution calling for an investi-
cation into the handling Of censored
niaii will be submitted to the Sem
ate as soon as the measure can be
drafted.
The move was caused by the re-
cent publication of parts of letters
written by Miss Vivien Kellems,
Westport (Conn.), businesswoman,
to Count Frederick Karl Won Zed-
litz in Buenos Aires. Represent
ative Coffee, Democrat, of Wash
irlgton, in a recent House speech,
called the count a Nazi agent.
Senator Reed, Republican, of
Kansas, who presented his protest
against publication of censored mail
to the Senate Postoffice Committee
TO-DAY. said after an executive ses-
sion that he had been instructed to
prepare and introduce such reso-
luton
Chairman McKellar said no for
NAL action was taken, pending in
PRODUCTION of the resolution, which
is expected to be referred back to
the Postofiice Committee to deter
mine what should be done.
Comments of several committee
members indicated new legislation,
placing more safeguards around the
use Of censored mail by Govern
ment agencies, may grow out of the
incident.
Portions of Miss Kellems' letters
to the count, whom she has describ-
ed as a personal friend and rep
resentative of German industrial
firms in Buenos Aires, also appeared
in newspaper column.
Senator Ferguson, Republican, OF
Michigan, member of the Post
Office Committee, said after today 4
meeting he does not believe it SO
much a question of the merits OF
dement's of this case"
ut is question Of the sanctity
of the mail" the Senator declared.
Censorship is essential in time OF
war, but only for the information OF
the Government"
When Senator Reed first began
looking into the publication of por-
tions Of Miss Kellems' letters, Byron
Price, director of censorship, called
on the Senator and told him that
when quotations which the censor
believes some Government agency
should have are taken from mail,
these intercepts are marked for the
information only of Government
officials to whom their use is es-
sential. Mr.. Price informed Senator
Reed that he was as much inter-
ested as the Senate in the investi-
cation.
Senator McKellar said there has
been very little violation" of GEN.
sorship secrecy. He estimated the
violations would not amount to
more than one-fifteenth of per
cent.
He agreed 1t may be found advis-
able to recommend addition of q
penalty provision for divulging GEN.
sored material.

Montgomery Ward Strike
Spreads to Kansas CITY
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, April 21.-Ap-
proximately 200 employees OF the
Montgomery-Ward 81 Co. plant
walked out yesterday in what Police
Capt. Lester E. Haupt said he was
told was protest against discharge
of 10 girl workers.
Capt. Haupt said Edward Chevlin,
international representative Of Local
131 Of the CIO United Mail Order
Employees Union. told him the
workers struck after the company
discharged the 10 girls for what it
said was their refusal to fill orders

where strike is in progress.

funds could be utilized to pay roll
back subsidies on them, but he said
he believed the committee should
have an explanat Hon from M. Jones.
y In another development on the
food front, Representative Barry.
Democrat, Of New York declared
that farm prices have gone beyond
parity, and proposed that they be
s'rolled back. He a15p advocated
discontinuance of farm price SUBJ
sides. s S
Secretary OF Agriculture wickard,
answering Mr.. Barry, told the COM
mittee that the income Of farmers
is about half that of nonfarmers. He
told Mr.. Barry that being q farmer
himself, Il cannot sympathize with
your views"
There has been some decrease in
food costs during the last year. Mr..
Wickard said. Production has been
increased 80 per cent since the war
started in 1941 by hard work of the
farmers, he declared, and ut would
be a poor reward for the extreme
effort they have made to keep up
production" If their income was re-
duced.
Mr.. Wickard said, that many
farmers, who at first opposed the
price subsidy program, now favor it
and desire its continuance.
He urged the Banking Committee
to continue the stabilization and
price control program after June 80
without weakening it by amend
ments, He added that in the last
few weeks there had been little
complaint and less talk among
farmers about subsidies. He said
farmers still would prefer price in
creases. but they want subsidies
in preference to imitation.

Policy
OF 0PA in Gas Cases
AssaiIed al Hearing

The Office of Price Administra-
tion.s hearings for persons charged
with violations Of price and ration
ing regulations came under sharp
attack today by members Of the
House subcommittee investigating
gasoline black markets.
Leading the attack was Repre-
sentative Brown, Republican, of
Ohio, who told the hearing that a
group Of national OPA enforcement
officers admitted to him that 1t was
common practice" for OPA attor-
neys to discuss ahead Of time with
hearing commissioners their cases
and in some instances actually to
decide a case before it is heard.
Asks Names Of Attorneys.
@If this is true, it is a damnable
situation" Mr.. Brown declared.
When Shad Polier. director Of gaso-
line rationing enforcement for the
agency, asked for the names Of the
attorneys, Mr.. Brown replied: Find
out for yourself what Is going on
in your department. 50 It's your
job"
The heated exchange followed the
reading by Representative Wolver-
ton, Republican, Of New Jersey Of a
letter from a woman In Ceilings
wood, N. j., who said she had been
forced to close down her filling sta
ton after a hearing in which she
was charged with accepting un-
indorsed coupons and seven coupons
found to be counterfeit.
Mr.. Polier admitted the suspen-
sion order should not have been
issued in the case and promised an
investigation. jashsssqsf I
Pointing out that the small sta
ton operstors were not the "crimi-
mails In the gasoline black market,
Mr.. Wolverton asserted that he was
fearful there was q tendency on the
part of OPA enforcement officers to
seize on anything" III their real to
prove efficiency.
Assails TOP" Of OPA.
He added that he was inclined to
believe there was something wrong
at the top" Of the OPA which would
permit widespread traficking in
gasoline black markets.
MIR. Wolverton said more atten-
ton should be paid by the OPA to
whether there was actual criminal
intent on the part of station opera
tors who handle spurious coupons.
MIR. Polier was questioned on why
the OPA did not take more Of its
cases to local courts. He explained
that violations came under the Sec
ond War Powers Act and therefore
were under Federal courts. In addi-
ton, he said, court fines do not
necessarily halt a station operator
from handling counterfeits. He
pays the fine, but continues in busi-
ness, Mr.. Polier said.

Policeman Disputes
Defense Testimony
'Af Burton Trial

Levi H. David, defense witness In
the trial of George X. Burton on
Charges of first-degree murder, tes-
titled in District Court today that
Montgomery County police had pre-
vented him from inspecting the car
which the Government contends
was driven several times over the
body OF Paul Higgins on New Year
Day, 1943.
Mr.. David, who Is counsel for
Stanford Carrier, 26. also under in
dictment in the Higgins death, told
the court he had tried to examine
Carriers car in a Takoma Park ga
rage while accompanied by a
chemist.
FRANKLIN Lane, a Montgomery
County detective, refused to allow
him to touch the vehicle, Mr.. David
testified. The car is being held by
Montgomery County authorities.
1t. William Liverman Of the
Metropolitan Police, who was re-
called to the stand by Prosecutor
Bernard Margolius in rebuttal, testi-
fed that Mr. David never appeared
at the appointed time for the car
inspection. Two policemen sent out
by the lieutenant returned from Ia
koma Park after waiting an hour,
1t. Liverman said.
After Prosecutor Margolius rest
ed the Governments case yesterday,
Judge Harry Watkins denied de-
fense motion asking for q directed
verdict of acquittal. In his argu-
ment, Defense Attorney Edward
Buckley said the Government had
not presented one "scintilla of evi-
dence" to show that Burton was the
driver Of the car which allegedly
ran over Higgins body.
Mr.. Buckley read a deposition
from Arthur Mcdonald, operator of
an auto repair shop, in which Mr..
Mcdonald testified he cleaned dirt
from under the car in order to do a
repair job several weeks before the
alleged murder and attempted rob-
berry.
Earlier testimony, given by 1t.
Liverman, had indicated that dirt
under the car might have been re-
moved by the dragging of body. I

Ford S Canadian Plan
Closed by WaIkout;;
Contract Cancelled
~ the Associated Press.

WINDSOR, Ontario, April al
Picket lines ringed the huge Ford
Motor Co. of Canada plant here to-
day and plant operations were at a
standstill, with about 14,000 en-
ployes affected.
The work stoppage started yester-
day when day-shift workers left
their Jobs at II am. for a half holi-
day" in protest over grievance pro-
cedure.
A little later the company notified
the union-Local 20 of the United
Automobile Workers of America
(CIO)-that it was terminating the
collective bargaining agreement in
effect here since January Is, 1912.
The company said in a statement
the general strike" was breach of
that contract.
Windsor Police Cautious.
Ford's president, Wallace r.
Campbell, asked police to break up
the picket lines, calling the strike"
illegal, but police said no additional
officers would be sent until "the
strike has been proven illegal"
The Windsor Police Commission
said its policy would be one of "cau-
ton" and would be directed toward
protecting the interests of all parties
concerned.
The commission chairman, Judge
j. j. Coughlin, declared he had told
Chief of Police Claude Renaud to
advise the Ford company to file IAN
information alleging the strike to be
illegal and to attempt to have It
proved as such"
Union members decided at q mass
meeting yesterday to continue the
walkout unless the company acceded
to demands for the reinstatement
Of four suspended union stewards
and continuation of the union
company contract.
Won't Recommend Return.
The locals president, Roy England,
told the meeting he had been talk
ing to executive officers Of the Ma
tional Wartime Labor Relations
Board at Ottawa and they had asked
him to recommend that the men
return to work.
Il told them I could not do this
unless We had a contract. We have
no contract I worked for seven
years in that plant without a con-
tract and I would not want to work
again under those conditions"
Announcing cancellation of the
contract, effective at once, the COM
pany told employees: "Notwithstand-
ing cancellation of the union con-
tract your standing as Ford en-
ploye is not altered. We urge you,
therefore, to return to your work
at once. Vital war work must be
carried on"
Both the company and the union
charged yesterday that each had
violated grievance procedure pro-
vided in the collective bargaining
agreement.
