There was some puzzlement here
over Russia purpose in reviving the
issue in a second demand, received
by the State Department Wednesday,
for an invitation to the Warsaw
Poles, only a little more than two
weeks after the original request was
fatty turned down by the American
and British governments.
The State Department disclosed
the second Russian request yester-
day in statement asserting firmly
that the Governments position still
is that only a new national unity
government formed in accordance
with the Crimea Conference agree
ment should represent Poland in the
United Nations meeting.
Reply Seen as Final.
This position was stated so cate
gorically in the reply to the first
Soviet note that Moscow could have

The strong Russian stand in ia
vor of the Warsaw Poles was reflect

Soviet Army newspaper Red Star as

Edward Osubka -Morawski, Presi-
dent and Premier of the provisional

not be made public until it was
submitted to the conference in San

It was understood that the recon-

be some provision for enforcement

Warworkers in this area were on

continue to have a tremendously
important war job until Japan is
finally crushed"
Henry E. Treide, war manpower
director for the District, Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina and West
/ Virginia, made the statement in re-
leasing his annual report for 1914.
He called on the more than a mil

factories, ordnance plants, textile
mills, chemical establishments, pulp
wood mills and other plants to re
sist the lure Of postwar. job hunting

at Washington that the home front

Shifts Are Major Problem.
At the same time, he urged the
estimated 1890, 900 civilian workers
not in war production or agriculture
In this region to be ready to re-
inforce the war production front
by shifting to war jobs whenever
local manpower directors state their
services are vital to the continued
flow OF war goods.
Mr.. Treide asked specifically for
10 per cent monthly increase in
job placements, which for the past
nine months, he reported, have
averaged close to 100000 a month.
The regional director reported
cumulative major war supply and
facility contracts and project orders
awarded to this region through Feb
ruary, l945, aggregated $1l,3l4,-
2l6,000. The District held $2ll,-
$40 900 of these contracts.
He termed unnecessary job quit
ting the major obstacle" to getting
the production job done in this
region.
Total Number Drops.
His report showed that despite
the fact that 1,095,000 jobs were
filled in 1914. the number of war
workers reported to VINO dropped
50 900 during the year.
A shortage of $1,000 workers exist
ed in war plants at the end of
March, Mr.. Treide reported, adding
that current shortages in the IS top
priority plants now behind produc-
tion in this region total more than
12,500.
The report praised both manage
ment and labor for making better
use of the available labor forces

Are we to understand that in the

supply of meat?"
"A fairly good supply" the wit
ness said, adding that my wife is
ready to divorce me because of
spending so much time searching
the city for meat"
Replying to question by Senator
Bilbo, Democrat, of Mississippi, Mr.
Hunt said, Unless I can make fu-
ture purchases Ill be completely
out of business"
why do you find yourself in this
situation?' Senator Wherry asked.
OPA Attacked.
That's what I'd like to know,
the witness countered.
Gilbert w. Barber. operator of

In table-thumping grafton, Mr.
Barber said that he had been trying

Nation is divided by only one thing,
and that's the OPA,"
He claimed that the OPA prices
on livestock and finished meats
were taken out of thin air."
Meanwhile, the House Food In
vestigating Committee asked OPA
to check on the operations of sew
eral independent packers whose bus
mess has skyrocketed during the
current beef shortage.
Back from two-week search with
his committee for black marketeers,
Chairman Anderson cited to a re-
porter the case of one independent
Ohio packer. His business, Mr. An
derSon said, has increased 10-fold at
a time when big packing companies
contend they are forced by OPA
price ceilings to operate at loss.
This is an obvious place for the
OPA to check" Mr.. Anderson as
serted. They should find out where
the beef comes from and where it
goes-investigate the complete sales
record.
IF legitimate packers have tt
operate at a loss now, it is foolhardy
to think such plants as the one ]
have in mind are doing business al

the committee that about two-thirds
OF his meat-until two weeks ago
came from the big meat packers.
He named Armour g. Co., Swift g.
Co. and kingan e. Co. The other
third was supplied by three local
slaughterers, now closed, the witness
said.
