ANDERSON PLANS
:, END OF SUBSIDY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-WD-
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P.
Anderson today recommended end
ing the governments $4,000, 900
yearly beef subsidy program next
July /. The proposal is aimed at
increasing meat supplies but it
would require higher consumer
prices.
He said that ending the subsidy
would stimulate the movement OF
cattle off the range. If the war
were to end suddenly, he added,
tremendous surplus of live cat
tie now on hand might create a
food crisis similar to that which
followed the last war.
He discussed his recommendation
with President Truman and report
ed afterWard that the American
Natior al Livestock Association had
agreed to poll its members on the
idea. Reaction from industry thus
far has been mixed, he said.
Anderson also announced plans
to increase the civilian pork supply

MOSCOW, Friday, Aug. N.-R
"A hard-striking Red Army stab

yesterday, registering initial gains

They were employing tanks, cav

launched their assault.
Following the pattern Of all their
offensives, the Russians stunned
the Japs with massed artillery
backed up by strong mortar, tank
and infantry operations.
While the land armies were press.

Soviet Air Force bombed the ports
of Seishin and Rashin on the jap

between Japan and the Northern

Initial dispatches gave no indi-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.@R-
German efforts to spy out the Sc
crets of American atomic bomb
development enabled this country
to piece together fairly accurate
picture of the Nazis' own atomic
efforts, the FBI said today.
The indicators OF where the en-

answers.
Their questions went to spies who
secretly had turned on their mas

to disrupt the atomic bomb pro-
gram and to CLEAN information on
it.
