SLAUGHTERERS MUST SUR.
RENDER RATION POINTS

Glass two commercial meat
slaughterers in Mississippi who did
not surrender any of the required
ration currency during any three
accounting periods, whether or not
the periods were consecutive, since
January /, 1914, face non issuance
or cancellation of any quota bases
under a change of provisions in the
meat control program OPA District
Director, w. E. Holcomb, said.
For those who surrendered only
a part of the required ration points
the change provides for reduced
quota basis, and there is also pro-
vision of cancellation of quotas on
meats custom slaughtered where
the required payment of ration
points was not paid to the custom
slaughterer during any three SINH
lar accounting periods, he pointed
out.
Answering many inquiries from
housewives in Mississippi about the
relationship between supplies Of
rationed foods and their point
values, OPA District Director, W.
E. Holcomb pointed out that only
a part of the civilian supply of
foods moves over retail counters in
exchange for ration points.
Housewives who look at the fig
ures, total up the number of ra-
ton stamps they have, and then
are puzzled by the results, do not
always realize that a considerable
part of the total rationed food sup
ply goes to civilians in the form
of manufactured products, through

Minister Threatens 7,
Dissolve Present
Parliament

OTTAWA, Jan. 23.-UP)
Prime Minister W. L. Mac
kenzie King today threatened
to dissolve parliament and
call Canada's first general
election since 1911 unless the
two major opposition parties
cease their attempts to block
the election to parliament of
Kings recently appointed
minister of defense, A. G. L.
McNaughton.
King, whose coalition government
last December was given a vote
of confidence after weeks of bitter
debate over the new policy of draft
ing men for overseas duty, charg-
ed that the Progressive Conserva-
tive and Canadian Commonwealth
Federation parties were seeking to
undermine the country's confidence
in his administration, despite their
support At that time.
McNaughton, named as defense
minister to carry out the new con.
scription policy, is seeking election
to the House of Commons in a
special contest in the Grey North
district of Ontario so that he would
be able to continue in his cabinet
post.
But. despite McNaughton high
post in Kings administration, the
Progressive Conservative and CCF
parties have waged a bitter cam
paign against him and put up can
didates of their own.
"A domestic political campaign
has developed in the Riding dds
trict,' the Prime Minister said in
a formal statement. LIT has been
growing steadily in intensity and
bitterness.
Until the date Of the official
nomination January 20 we shall not
know definitely whether the Pro
gressive Conservative and the CCF
are determined to persist in their
present attitudes. If they are, it
will obviously be the duty of the
government to consider whether
any useful purpose could be served
by attempting to hold another ses-
sion of the present Parliament.

SUBASIC DEFIES
PETERS CUSTER
Premier Expected To Meet
With Tito On New
Regime

LONDON, Jan. 23.-lRNDefying
King Peter and refusing to resign,
Premier Ivan Subasic and his dis
missed cabinet ministers prepar'
ed tonight to take protective
steps, within the next 48 hours to
establish with Marshal Tito fed
eral democratic government in
Yugoslavia.
An authoritative source said Su,
basic, with British approval, had
decided to ignore King Peters re-
quest that he resign and would
proceed to put into effect the
agreement he signed with Tito.
At the same time, all Yugoslav
associations in London unanimous
ly demanded that the Subasic gov
eminent continue in office and re-
turn to Belgrade to put into effect
the agreement with Tito.
The associations called in the
Subasic government to refuse any
government which the King may
try to form"
The agreement, which was sign
ed by eight Yugoslav associations
in London, led by the powerful
United Committee of South Slavs,
charged that Peters dismissal OF
Subasic was unconstitutional and
that the young monarch was at
tempting to provoke civil war in
Yugoslavia and disagreement
among the Allies so as to create
favorable conditions for his selfish
political aims and his undemocrat,
ic political game"
The statement by the Associa'
tons charged that Peter had done
nothing for his people in the whole
course of the war" and declared
that by delaying the conclusion OF
the Subasic-Tito agreement he was
"hindering commencement of work
to bring assistance to the people
of Yugoslavia in their terrible sui
fering."
Meanwhile the youthful monarch
was battling virtually alone to save

Wallace'S nomination to be
Secretary of Commerce.
He made the allegation after the
committee met and voted 10 to z
to side-track the controversial ap.
pointment pending action on a bill
by Sen. Walter F. George, D.-Ga.)
to divorce Government lending
agencies from the Commerce De.
partment.
The committee also invited the
ex-Vice President and the man he
would succeed-Jesse H. Jones-to
present their views on the George
measure, Jones will testify tomor-
row; Wallace Thursday.
The vote was the first test OF
strength on President Roosevelt S
political reward appointment OF
Wallace and it was definitely a
rebuff.
Pepper and Sen. John H. Over
ton. (D.-La.D were the only com
mitteemen present who voted to
act on the Wallace appointment
first.
They were overridden by a coali.
ton of Republicans and conser-
vative Southern Democrats whose
vote meant in effect that the com
mittee would reject the nomination
if Wallace also is given control
over the multi-billion-dollar Recon.
struction Finance Corp, and re.
lated lending agencies which Jones
directs.
The agencies have been part OF
the Commerce Department since
1912. The separation measure was
introduced by George yesterday
to counter the nomination.
Bailey announced Monday night
that the committee would consider
the nomination and the bill at t.
days meeting, but Pepper asserted
that all committee members were
not notified of the meeting, only
those whom they said they could
reach"
II say they notified only pose
they wanted to reach" he told the
United Press. ''You can see from
their tactics what they're trying
to do. Bailey is doing everyt kng
he can in a deliberate attempt te
beat Wallace"
It was pointed out that seven Of
the 10 active committee members
were not present and even if al
had voted, that motion still Woulc
have been beaten.
Conservative Senate leaders have
indicated they would have no OBJ
lection to Wallace if his job does
not include control over the lend
ing agencies. The George bill,
would strip Secretary of Commerce
of such control and restore the in
dependent, status of the lending
agencies under $12,0O0-a year
