Sellers Strike Under Attack

Washington, Nov. l2.-UP)- The government is investigating certain industries suspected of keeping sorely-needed civilian goods of the market until the excess profits tax is repealed Jan. 1, it was revealed today.
 The inquiry into the so-called sellers strikes" was undertaken by the Civilian Production admin istration at the request of Re- conversion Director John w. Sny- der. A DPA official said agents were already at work but that there was no evidence the practice was widespread.
 In the meantime, the CPA with the cooperation of many women's organizations is working out a program to prevent over-buying of scarce clothing items during the current shortage.

WaShlngton, NOV. lz--- (UP) - The three-nation atom bomb conference ap- peared today to have made such extensive progress that further formal meetings were postponed temporarily to permit each nation to work out details.
 Each participating nation, accord ing to authoritative sources, has much paper work to do before draft ing plans which will be put before the next session among President Truman, British Prime Minister Clement Attlee and Canadian Prime Minister Clement Attlee and Ca- nadian Prime Minister w. L. Mac Kenzie King.
 Attlees plan for internationaliza ton of the atomic bomb and other secret war weapons was under stood to have been the basis for yesterdays discussions aboard the NdNg ydCiils GoS4uOAa.
 Russia Must Pool Secrets
 Under the Atlee plan. Russia on her part would have to pool her secrets too and come to a clear-cut understanding with the western Allies about her political and secur- ity ambitions. Otherwise. the U. s. Britain and Canada would keep the atom secret.
 The British Prime Minister, who was weekend guest at the White House, went to the British embassy after breakfast talk with MT. Tru- man. He was reported working to- day on the speech he will deliver before a joint session of Congress tomorrow.
 Officials and experts of each gov ernment were understood to be pre- pairing documents to be submitted to he next joint meeting of the three government heads probably tomor- row. Confidence was expressed that from this work would emerge a single plan which would be sub- ject to approval or revision by MT. Truman ,Attlee and MacKen1e King.
 To Confer With Keynes
 But in other quarters the im- pression was gained that so much progress had been made that it was necessary for the participa- pant nations to confer separately and begin reducing the results to paper for further consideration.
 Attlee was expected to confer with Lord Keynes, Chief British rep resentatiYe in financial talks now under way here between the two governments, before completing the final draft of his speech to Con- gress. Britain is seeking a loan of 1000, ,00,000 or more
 It was understood Attlee wished to discuss not only the progress Oi the financial talks but details Oi Britains economic position as well which he intends to cover in his speech tomorrow
 To Smooth Relations
 Authoritative sources said Attiee's adress to Congress would endeaVoI to portray the Socialist govern ment's program in Britain as nc more radical than the New Deal m this country.

New Regulations
On Used Cars

Used 1912 automobiles will be re-
moved from ationing on July 2.
1945, OPA announced. The princi-
pal reason for the rationing of used
1912 cars-that they were the best
automobiles in the country aside
from the new 1912 cars in stock
and should be restricted to essen
tial users-no longer holds true.
Many of these cars have been
driven by public officials, doctors
and war workers who travel long
distances and, consequently, the
cars have had more mileage and
more hard usage than some earlier
models that have been driven fewer
miles. Therefore, continued ration
ing is unnecessary, OPA said.
The four percent decrease on
used passenger car ceiling prices,
scheduled for July l., will not af-
feet the warranty allowance when
this allowance amounts to 500 or
less, OPA said. The July / reduc-
ton, announced June z, is the first
of a series of four percent reduc-
tons to be made once each half
year, reflecting normal deprecia-
ton in value, OPA explained.

Aim to Reorient

A part of the aim of the Ameri-

described as ''reorienting the Ger
man mind, after IL years of Nazi-
ISM"

the information bureau of his divi-
sion as I'D to maintain and deep

essence and acceptance of orders to

ership and German acquiescence in
them"

Slaughterers Must
Mark Livestock

All livestock carcasses and
wholesale cuts of meat must, after
July 5, 1915, be clearly marked
with the slaughterer's official
Identification number before they
are sold or transferred by the
slaughterer, OPA announced. The
number may DE altered, mutilated
or removed except when the meat
is prepared for consumption or use,
or when the wholesale cuts are
broken into retail cuts.
Non-federally inspected CONNER
cial and farm slaughterers will
mark their meat with one of the
following: (a) Their OPA license
or permit number, (b) their pre-
sent War Food Administration
license or permit number, or (c)
the establishment number assigned
them by a federal, state, county or
city meat inspection authority.
Any one of the three numbers men
toned may be used by slaughterers
through July 81, 1915. After that
date, however, VIA license or
permit numbers cannot be used.
Those who wish to continue using,
after July 81, 1915, the establish
ment number assigned to them by
an official meat inspection author
ity, rather than the OPA license or
permit number, must given notice
to that effect, prior to using the
number, to the local War Price and
Rationing Board or OPA district
office with which they are register
ed.
All accessible wholesale cuts of
meat are to be marked, except in
the case of calf carcasses with the
skin on. These need only be marked
on the hind shanks and brisket.
Any person who removes the skin
from a calf carcass, however, is
required to mark each accessible
wholesale cut before the carcass
is broken, sold or transferred. All
markings must be clear and con-
spicuous and the numerals and let
tiers at least Il inch in height and
width. The marking may be done
with a Kosher marking pencil or
with stamp or stencil and an ap-
proved violet branding fluid. Farm
slaughterers selling or transferring
meat directly to consumer may
put the required Identification
number on tag that is firmly at
tached to the meat.

Shoes

About 100000 pairs of shoes in
odd sizes and styles will be sold
ration-free during the three weeks
of July 8 through July 2S and at
prices 25 per cent lower than reg
ular ceilings, according to the OPA.
About 100000 pairs will be wom-
ems shoes. Shoe retailers will be
permitted to include in their ration
free sales 3 per cent of the mems
work and dress shoes they reported
to oPA in their inventory state
ments of July 81, 1914, and S per
cent of their women's shoes.

Power For Peace

BERNARD BARUCH, native of
South Carolina and often re-
ferred to as an elder statesman,
makes the observation that the
United States must keep big
military weapon, with compulsory
training for its youth, to show any
incipient aggressor that "we're
ready to take them on.
The point made by Mr.. Baruch
is that the power of the United
States, if unframed ana not inn
mediately available, will not count
in the scales of, future aggressors.
If some new regime arises, deter
mined to seek world domination,
nothing would facilitate its greedy
ambition more than the knowledge
that the United States is unpre-
pared for immediate action.
If the people of the United
States intend to support the world
organization, formulated at San
Francisco and designed to make
war Improbable to aggressors, it
will be necessary for this country
to have available at all times, for
immediate use, whatever quota of
its armed strength that is assigned
to support international coopera-
ton in the interest of peace.

Point System Fair

PARENTS, wives and loved ones
of soldiers in Europe are es-
pecially interested in the prospec-
tive return of their fighting men,
hoping that, even if en- route to
the Far East, q furlough will af-
ford opportunity for a visit home.
It may interest them to know
that. 357, 1856 American soldiers in
the Mediterranean area will be
redeployed to the Pacific within the
next nine months but that eighty
seven per cent of them will come
to the United States en- route.
While it is perfectly natural fol
every family to desire the release
of their loved ones, it must be
generally realized that the plan Of
the War Department, providing
for release upon the basis OF
earned points, is fair, reasonable
and Just.
Consequently, there, is, no occa,
sion for criticizing officials, re,

Huge Liners AS
Transports

TWO giant liners, the 81 ,235-ton
Queen Mary and her sister ship,
the Queen Elizabeth, are now being
used to transport American serv-
ice men westward and will con-
tinue in such service until the
mass movement of fighting men is
ended.
The two ships have combined
carrying capacity of about 10000
men and are so fast that, during
the war, they travelled the seven
seas without escort, relying upon
their speed to escape enemy at
lacks. They are a part of vast
pool of ships that is under the di-
rection of the combined chiefs-of-
staff.
1t is explained that the cost
of requistion and the use of the
ships, including crews wages,
is paid by the British Gov
eminent, under reverse Lend
Lease. On this side of the Atlantic
Lend-Lease takes care of repairs
when needed and provides stores
for the return journey.

Need For Ship
Repair Workers Urgent

Stressing the desperate need for
workers to get battle-damaged
ships back in the fighting line,
Paul V. McNutt, chairman of the
War Manpower Commission, an
nounced that while approximately
5000 craftsmen had been hired
through interregional recruitment
during June, an equal number of
workers still are urgently required
for the ship repair yards on the
West Coast and at Pearl Habor.
1--WE cannot over-emphasize the
need for machinists, electricians
and sheet metal workers." McNutt
said. "Also needed are welders, rig
gers, shipwrights, aircraft work
ers, radio mechanics, coppersmiths,
mechanic learners, pipe coverers
and insulators, boiler makers, in
strument makers, ordnance men
and packers"
The present campaign to recruit
ship repair workers is a joint ac-
tivity of the VINO, the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, and the Navy.
VINO has given the campaign the
highest manpower priority in an
effort to expedite recruitment. The
Navy pays travel expenses to the
job. Workers not employed in es-
sential industry are urged to apply
at the nearest office of the U. S.
Employment Service.

British Destroy
Naz'i Forts

BRITISH; demolition. squads are
blowing up the Siegfried Line,
beginning with the concrete block
houses and, AFRAID, shelters of Kiel
and Hamburg. The work of remov-
ing pillboxes and dragons teeth
will require several years.
Most of the work, presumably,
will be performed by German pris-
oners of war under the direction Of
Allied officials. Removal of the
Westwall and other fortified lines
constitutes part of the program
of disarming Germany. When the
work is completed future German
militarists will realize the impos-
sibility of beginning a war on one
border while on the defensive on
another.
The labor of German prisoners
will be well used on this job. Those
who were able to give of their time
to the prosecution of an oppressive
war can well afford to give addi-
tional time to remove their handi-
work in the interest of peace.

The hearings of the Kilgore sub

cluded in the last weeks of con-

The purpose of the hearings, Sena-

to prepare the United States

1t may be recalled that some
months ago there appeared in these
columns an exposition of the organi-
cation and the indoctrination of the
German people and the Indignation
of all elements in Germany into a
single unit, created for the purpose
of waging total war. This dealt with
the positive steps taken in the train
ing of the youth and conversion or
compulsion exerted over such of the
older generation as were sufficiently
pliable. In this and a succeeding ar
ticle propose to deal with what
might be called a program of mega
ton since its purpose was to destroy
the quality of resistance to Naziism
on the part of those too old or too
stubborn to accept. actively or pas
sively, the Nazi regime. 1t is what
have alluded to as the program

Grumbling Will Continue

AS CONGRESS prepares to give
n new authority to the Secretary
of Agriculture in connection with
the pricing, rationing and distri-
button of food, it is rather difficult
to determine whether the COM
plants of the disgruntled repre-
sent anything more than the inevi-
table accompaniment to such
policies.
There are people in the United
States, some running businesses
and some running homes, who
stand ready at all times to grum-
bic, criticize and complain when
ever they do not receive what they
want This, we believe, repre-
scnts the background for much
of the denunciation of OPA, but
the. situation cannot be corrected,
regardless of schemes, until there
is greater amount of food avail

group of middle-aged Germans who
escaped the full blight of Nazi in
doctrination. Normally they would
be the ones most likely to offer col

other officials and most amenable
to an acceptance of democratic
methods and beliefs.
Ofi,course, there are, some such.
On the other hand, although this

They are the ones in Germany
