 For Food--LaG Guardia

able everyone to operate without loss," La Guardia continued, it would be cheaper than the fictitious ceiling price we have now" Let's stop kidding ourselves, gen. tlemen," he said. Lets understand that these prices are fictitious"
 La Guardia said that If we're going to subsidize, we ought to sub sidize right" and added: Fix your price from the packer to the re- taller and then pay the difference. Give a subsidy direct to the feeder and then you'll be all right"
 La Guardia said packers have lost so much money on their set- aside orders for the armed forces 60 per cent of their SaleS-that they have had to "recoup their losses on the 40 per cent" sold to civilian consumers. If the armed forces paid what the meat costs in the first place, he said, it would be a lot better.
 In New York, La Guardia said, he obtained 17,958 convictions for meat violations in 1944. He said this ada ed up to $291 ,00O in fines and 378 jail sentences.
 He said, however, that when the New York legislature recently amended the inferior court acts which made it impossible to cen tralize all cases in one court" New York city's enforcement program received a setback"
 Now cases must be heard in five courts.
 Nonetheless, La Guardia said, mo chlsler or profiteer will get any com. fort out of it, because we are go- ing to continue our enforcement just as diligently as ever."
 Committee members were inter- ested in what La Guardia had to say about the New York black mar Ket. They have heard from some sources that as much as 90 per cent of New York meat is the black mar ket kind. An OPA official assert ed, however, that perhaps as much as 10 or 20 per cent was.
 La Guardia's estimate was that about 20 per cent of the meat sod in New York city is black mar ket.
 He made his estimate for Sen. Allen J. Ellender, D., La, who brought up the 90 per cent report.
 La Guardia said that about 90 per cent of the retailers in his city are trying to comply with regu- lationS. But, he went on, If a re- taller can't obtain meat at ceiling price, he is going to chisel."
 "All we ask" the mayor con- tinued, lis that you give us meat at a fixed ceiling price. What we don't like is price that doesn't mean anything"

LITIGATION HERE
 HELD 'MISTRIAL'
Abrupt Termination Today of Bnck=RObinSOn Action
 in Superior Court

An abrupt end came in superior court today in the $7,000 civil action brought by Minerva Buck against Stephen w. Robinson, when coun- sel for the plaintiff asked for and was granted a mistrial.
 An unexpected discussion between the lawyer and Judge John A. Cor nell based on the wording of a particular statement of the law yer, preceded the motion for mis- trial, and was the basis for the mo- tion.
 Counsel for Miss Buck stated that in view of the comments made by the jurist during the discussion he did not feel his client would have fair jury trial, and asked for mistrial and also for permis- sion to withdraw as counsel. The jurist denied the request for with drawal, but granted the motion for mistrial after taking a brief re- cess.
 The litigation was based on an insurance policy of the late Lorenz Buck. The plaintiff, his daughter, claimed the defendant, her broth er-in-law, had fraudulently se- cured a signature which made him beneficiary to the 5000 policy.
 The case was nearing completion when the mistrial was declared. The jury had been expected to start its deliberations sometime this afternoon. The case will go over for reassignment and trial be- fore another jury will be assigned at another term of the court.

Kings 5 Sons At Conference

San Francisco, April -(UP)- The five sons of King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia were on hand today for the United Nations Conference but without the sheep and tents that their famous father takes along on trips away from home.
 Tired as tourists but just as en- thusiastic, the five brothers took life easy in the relatively modest surroundings of suite in a swanky hilltop hotel here after sight-see- ing air tour across the country.
 The brothers ranged in age from nine to 50. They let it be known through an interpreter that they were happy to be here and pleased by the reception given them at the airport.
 Only one of the brothers is an official delegate to the conference. He is Amir Faisal Ibn Abdul Aziz, minister of foreign affairs in his fathers cabinet. The other four, including nine-year- old Amir Naval Ibn Abdul Aziz, just came for the ride.

Body Lies In Funer0IHome For4 40 Yeors

St. Louis. April 24-(UP)-The embalmed body of woman known only as maud" has lain in an open wooden casket in a local fu- neral parlor for 70 years because relatives would not put out the money to bury her." the Star Times reported today.
 The case paralleled closely that of the mummified body of 8 wo- man, believed to be Mrs. Mary E. Woodward who died in St. Louis in 1912, and whose body was found in the home of a daughter in Washington, D. C., last week.
 August Kron, Jr., present pro- prietor of the A. Kron Livery and Undertaking Co.,, here, told the Star Times Maud" was brought to the establishment in 1905 when the business was operated by his fath- CT. Kron declined to identify the woman further because T think she still has relatives here"
 "All know" Kron was quoted as saying, lis that the body was brought here in 1905 by friend of ours. Maud had died in a St.. Louis hospital. Relatives were liv- ing here then, but they would not put out the money to have her buried"
 Kron said he first saw the body when he was very little boy"
 "She hasn't changed much in 40 years" he said.
 Asked if the funeral home will bury Maud" now, Kron told the Star-Times reporter:
 Why should we?? If we've kept her this long, there is no reason to bury her now," he replied.
 Kron said the legend used to draw neighbors to the basement storeroom where the casket was keput, and at one time hundreds of high school students made habit of filing by the casket. He does not allow anyone to view the body now.
 He said he and his sister, Miss Marie Kron, frequently went to the basement to see Maud"

Washington, April "A. (UP)- Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuard1a of New York urged today that tht country's food program be put under one administrator.
 He recommended to the senate food investigating committee that all food-control functions of the of- flee of Price Administration and War Food Administration be merged with "the control and the price fix ing all under one head" If necessary, La Guardia said, the retail price of meat should be in creased-but mot more than cent pound"
 With that and increased subsidies, he added, the consumer would not pay more. He would pay three and four cents a pound less than he does now" on the black market.
 LaGuardia added that it would mt be a bad idea to get butcher or two who knows something about it to write the regulations.
 The main trouble is there are just too many bosses around and too many theorists working under these bosses" he said.
 LaGuardia said creation of a cen tralized food agency would "end this overlapping and, what is worst ot all, the delay and inaction."
 LaGuardia also recommended:
 l. That meat purchased by the armed forces be bought at the act ual cost of the meat itself
 2. Payment of subsidies to cattle feeders.
 3. Placement of special commis- sioners in federal courts to hear vii olations of OPA regulations.
 LaGuardia was 42 minutes late for his hearing-which he had specially requested.
 T want to apologize" he said. We wee OPA'd over Baltimore"
 The mayor smiled and explained We were up in the air
 La Guardia said there was only ono reason for a black market in meat:
 When conditions are such that the first processor. the slaughterer, cannot sell at lawful ceiling prices without a loss, he either goes out of business or he starts to chisel And once he goes wrong, he goes wrong all the way"
 This, La Guardia said, is reflected in all sales levels up to the cus- toner. Everyone goes broke or goes wrong, he said
 If we set price that would en-

 At the conclusion of the interview, Miss Piazza was asked if she could remember any unusual incidents of her career.
 Yes" she replied. There is one time that shall never forget. It was during the last act of the (Last Rose of Summer). I was to sing the song, during which time I was to pluck rose from my dress and pre- sent it to my lover. The song pro- gressed well up to the time I was to present the rose. My hand went to my shoulder and the rose was gone. I continued singing and pre- tended that I had the flower cupped in my hand. In the meantime, had conveyed to the other singer, through slight gestures and voice in- flections that there was no rose. He walked over to the wing dramatical- ly and was handed substitute rose by prop man. finished that song with a breath of relief
 The interviewer smiled and re- peated softly line of Stein's "Sa- cred Emily"-'A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.
