LIMITED CHOICE
 FOR MEAT BUYERS
Hams for Traditional Easter Meals Reported
 Very Scarce

Few Succulent roaStS of spring lamb or crisp baked hams will ap- pear on the Easter festive board according to local wholesalers who estimated today they will offer weekend customers just a little more than half the meat products which appeared on their counters 8 year ago.
 With pork products singularly missing from the current markets Waterburians will dine on Sunday on beef or veal, if they are lucky enough to find it. Poultry has been missing from counters for several weeks, and no chickens, ducks, or fowl will be obtainable during the next few days.
 With the pork supply reduced to mere fraction, bacon, sausage and processed pork products will also be difficult to find.
 Meat wholesalers, striving to ef- feet fair distribution to retailers could offer no promise today as tc when the shortage might be alley lated.
 More than half of all grades oi meat are now being diverted to gov ernment use. Sixty per cent of A and B grade meats are now appro- priated by the government, while SC per cent of c grade products, used for processed meats, find their way to these channels.

They hurried here from Moscow
presumably to consult directly with
Secretary Stettinius and Mr.. Eden
before the Big Three foreign minis
ters tackle the Polish and other del
icate issues In pre-San Francisco
meeting here this week end.
The question Of establishing ma
chinery for international trustee
ships over territories taken from the
enemy in this war and other de-
pendent areas, and Russia's request
fol separate membership in the
projected world security organiza-
ton for two of the constituent So
Wet republics, are among the other
major subjects likely to be discussed
by the foreign ministers.
There was growing pressure that
the United States not agree to any
trusteeship plan that would preclude
absolute American control over stra-
tegic Pacific islands taken from the
Japanese by American forces In
this war.
State Department officials empha-
sized that there never has been any
intention of discussing specific ter
ritories in connection with proposals
to be submitted to the San Francisco
Conference for creating trusteeship
machinery to cover such areas as
might be decided appropriate for
such handling in later negotiations.
Senate Approval Seen.
Meanwhile, Chairman Connally of

committee, agreed in radio broad

Senator Austin said that what
happens in San Francisco will have

The note which has been re-

reiterates the Soviet request that
the present provisional government
now functioning in Warsaw be in
vlted to send representatives to the

Poland is a member of the United

However, the view of the United

invitation to the conference at San

to new provisional government of
national unity formed in accordance
with the Crimea agreement"
In rejecting the original Soviet
request on March 81. the State De-

of this Government that the pro-
