OPA Chief Declares

Patrick -MrNanaTa. acting
Detroit district OPA head de-
clared Saturday that OPA cell
ing prices have aided rather than
meat production and
cited Increased consumption and
bad distribution As the main rea-
sons for the current meat short
age, Mcnamara cited four reasons
for the shortage:
. The armed forces have IN
creased their meat demands
from 22l million pounds in 1910
10 6.382 100000 pounds in 1914.
. Increased medium family
income has brought increased
III ca consumption. Between
1859 the average person con-
sumed l26 pounds year. In
1914 the average was l47
pounds.
A reduced pork supply is
being felt now because farmers,
fearing a short corn crop IN the
fall of 1943. reduced production
by % per cent. The War Food
Administration asked only a l6
per cent cut.
Large cities like Detroit
are suffering from bad distFi--
button because no meat except
that which is federally-lnSpected
can be shipped across state
lines

 Changchun, capital of Manchuria, and virtually every other key city in the territory were reported Tn Communist hands after an almost bloodless coup that Nationalist sources tacitly blamed on Russia $ passive intervention.
 Government spokesmen admitted the loss of Changschun, but they were silent on the reported Com munist seizure of Mukden, Chm chow and Antung in southern Man. churia and Harbin and Lung Klang in the north.
 Negotiations May End
 If confirmed, the Communist tri- umph appeared to signal the end oi the protracted peace negotiations m Chungking that so far have limited China's civil war to series of rel atively small skirnishes along the Manchurian border.

'Equol-Poy For euchers Interpreted
 Waterbury Women
 Instructors Moy
 Get DifferentioI

Waterburys women teachers have been assured of payment by the city. of $500 salary differen- tial. now existing between their salaries and those of the male teachers, by the recent formal rul- ing of State Attorney General Will liam Hadden.
 Some question as to the whether the recently enacted so-called Euual-Pay bill was mandatory for such communities as Waterbury had presented itself. The Connecticut State Department of Education, sponsors of the bill, recently re- quested an interpretation by the Attorney General.
 MT. Hadden, in his finding of last week, ruled:
 Simply expressed the law requires, effective July l, 1946, equal pay for equal work, having in mind that such differentials as may be made in salaries based upon length of service, experience, higher educa- ton and other similar factors, should apply to all teachers alike, regardless of sex, and that there after, in making salary increases there may not be any discrimina- ton made on the basis of sex"
 The Act in question as (known as Public Act No. 140) provides as follows:
 Section 1-No town or city or other municipality, or board Of education thereof shall discrim- mate on the basis of sex in the determination of the amounts to be paid on the payments to be made to persons employed as teachers in the public schools"
 Tn his formal interpretation, the Attorney General states:
 We interpret the law to mean that, if from and after July 1, 1946, as for persons employed as teachers in public schools, with comparable experience, training and education, who are performing equivalent serv- ices and who have the same length of service, no discrimination may be ffasde on the basis of sex in the determination of the amounts to be paid or the payments to be made to such persons; that, from and after July l. 1946, the same salary schedules should apply to all persons without discrimination on the basis of sex; and that, from and after said date, in granting salary increments the same prin- ciples should apply to both men and women"

DeGaulle Keeps His Mandate
Socialists Aid Leader
 Communists Vow
 Their Opposition

Paris. Nov. l9 - (UP) - The French Assembly by vote Of 358 to 39 decided today to give Gen. Charles DeGaulle another chance to solve the critical government crisis caused by the split between De- Gaulle and the Communists.
 The vote came after bitter at tack upon DeGaulle by Jacques Du- clos, Communist party secretary The Communists-largest party in the Ssembly-abstained from vot- ing on whether DeGaulle should have another chance.
 The decision to let DeGaulle try once more to organize a coalition government of Socialists, Commun- ists and Popular Republicans came largely through the plea of the Socialists that France not drop her wartime leader without giving him one more opportunity to put gov ernment together.
 Wins Breathing Spell
 The decision, in effect, gives De- Gaulle breathing spell to attempt to work out a solution but there was no indication in the fiery speech of Duclos that the Commun- ists were prepared to back down ol their demand for a major cabinet post foreign affairs, war or interior
