key, who has gone to war to give
the boys at the fighting fronts in
prison camps and at home bases a
measure OF thanks on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, will be an item of scarcity
for most civilians on the holiday.
The armed services had first
choice OF the turkey crop, describ-
ed by one expert as the biggest on
record, while other factors for the
shortage OF the supply to fill civil
ian requirements was mild weather
and shortage Of labor in process
ing plants.
Warm weather, the War Food Ad-
ministration said today is one
OF the principal reasons why
country marketings have not
been sufficient to supply the
civilian market. Turkeys, WA ex-
planned, will not eat fattening foods

sequently, many OF this years

Business Conference in
Peaceful Closing Session

Rye, n. Y, Nov 1S-lNS-Clos-
ing sessions Of the international
Business conference proceeded to-
day unmarried by the basic disa-
greements and clashes between u.
S. and British delegations that
marked early sessions.
The problem of whether or not
the findings Of the eight sections
into which the conference was di-
vided were to represent the views
of all delegates participating and
whether the findings were to be
adopted as resolutions, was a prob
lem that precipitated a series of
disputes between American and
British factions.
In one case, after the report on
private enterprise, the American
delegation attempted to have the
findings referred back to commit
tee and failing that, presented their
own views as an addendum.
At later session the British del
egation insisted on having added
to the report on encouragement and
protection Of investments an ad-
denum which termed the Breton
Woods-proposed international bank
IAN encouragement to sound inter
national investment"
In the latter case, the American
delegation voted to have the Brit
ish addition &C 7epted. but made
clear that they did not necessarily
endorse these views. This position
was backed by the sponsoring or
