He looked at me - uncertain like. He was

neat, inexpensive hotel?" he asked. Notice
that word neat; it went along with the
way his cap rode straight on his rope-colored
head, and the serious look in his blue eyes,
leaned over the taxi door and gave him
the business: Mac, could recommend fifty
hotels. What good would that do? Last night

$5 Steokeosy CI oses Doors
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington, April 2 - (U.P) - For the information of the OPA, the U. s. Senate, a would-be dynamiter from Kansas City and letter writers so numerous I've got to mention 'em, can report that 8 certain steakeasy has gone out of the $5 steak business.
 Calm down, fellers. Neither is this joint continuing to sell eight pound hams, sans ration points, for $10. The proprietor thereof has de- cided to be good boy, and I think 1t would be nice if the OPA splash ed cold water on it's face. Or at least quit issuing statements denouncing my favorite author.
 All did was describe last week my experience in 8 steakeaSy here that was doing standing -rooln- only business. There has been no peace for Othman since.
 The story hardly had hit print when red-raced Missourian, in Washington on OPA business, burst into my office and cried:
 Where is this steakeasy? want to dynamite it." He wasn't foohng. Hardly had I eased him out be- fore Chairman Elmer Thomas of the Senate Agriculture Committee read the dispatch into the record of the senatorial meat inquiry. He turned to couple of the head men of the OPA in the audience and said he presumed they knew all about the situation.
 Apparently they didn't. Because that night an executive of the National OPA phoned me to ask the name and address of the steak easy. I had to tell him to go sit on Q tack, that I was no cop, that his local enforcement ofIicials ought to know all about the capitals buster restaurants.
 Then came Director K. Thomson of the local OPA to issue a three page statement in which he said that dispatches such as mine did no good. Qt reformed Q steakeasy, did mt it, Robert?)
 Came also Enforcement Chief Carl W. Burueffly of the local OPA to say he'd never asked me to tell him the location of the steakeasy. He hadn't. but one of his national superior had. If necessary, I'll in- trcduce him to his boss. (Phone me anytime, CarD.

 A special meeting of international law experts starts here next week in an attempt to draft world court statute before San Francisco.
 The United States still is hoping also to hold a meeting of big five representatives here on the question of mandates and international trus- teeships before the San Francisco meeting. France has been assured a place at that meeting if it is held.
 One of the next major announce mentS to be made regarding the conference will be the voting pro- cedure to be used there. United States officials are seeking one vote for each nation with majority rule. But Stettinius told his press confer ence last week that all such pro- cedural matters were being discussed by the sponsoring nations.

 For Radios
By JOSEPH LATIN

washington, April 3.-(UP) - There were strong indications to- day that production of civilian goods would climb pack to pre-war levels-and perhaps surpass them in the year following the defeat of Germany.
 But that will not mean a return to the peacetiIne standard of living for Americans.
 It will take at least two or three years, in the opinion of many offi- cials, to satisfy the pent-up de- mand in this country alone for au- tomobiles, radios, refrigerators and similar items. And some of this production will be earmarked for export.
 Tn the first few months after VIE day, the increase in civilian goods will hardly be apparent to the man on the street. But as the war pro- duction program adjusts itself to the reduced needs of a one-front war, the output of civilian goods should swell to gigantic proportions.
 War mobilization Director James F. Byrnes, in his weekend report to Congress, estimated 30 per cent of the nations resources in materials would be available for civilian pro- production within nine months af- ter the end of the war in Europe. As facilities are released from war work, these materials will find their way into the durable goods that have virtually disappeared from the American scene since Pearl Harbor.
 Byrnes gave the American people this post VIE day preview:
 The midnight curfew, the prohibi- tion against racing and the brown out of commercial lighting will be lifted. But the high tax on trans portation and the man on conven- tion travel will continue, as will con. trols on manpower, wages and prices.
 There may be small increase" in the basic gasoline ration.
 There must be immediate tax re- lief for business to encourage new production and make new jobs for displaced workers.
 Byrnes also called for legislation to empower the president to reor- juvenile court agreed to take the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-04-02

ganize and consolidate executive agencies and to unify the war and navy departments into single de- partment of national defense after the war.
 Byrnes suggested that men who stick with war jobs after VIE day should be given a priority on the purchase of certain types of civilian goods that go back into production.
 Today war workers get preference in the purchase of automobiles, tires and tubes," he told Congress After VIE Day the same policy will have to prevail" Other scarce goods must be distributed in such a way as to support the war effort against Japan, he added.
 ByrneS revealed that industry will be released from its wartime strait jacket when Germany quits. Manu- lecturers will be required to give first attention to certain types of civilian production needed to sup port the home front economy. But

Washington, April 2.-(UP)-Sec- retary of State Edward R. Stettin- jus, Jr., today faced the job of trying to restore unity among the U. s. del- egation to the San Francisco confer ence on world security.
 He has scheduled a delegation meeting for tomorrow and also has arranged tentatively for 10-day period of almost continuous meet ings to begin next Monday. The con- ference begins April 25.
 The delegation was split serious ly over the secret agreement on as- sembly votes made by the big three at Yalta. Sen. Arthur H. Vanden- berg, R., Mich, one of the U. s. delegates to San Francisco, is not only opposed to giving any nation more than one vote on the assem- bly, but is boiling mad about the way the big three deal finally leaked out to the public.
 The delegation will operate an San Francisco under the unit rule," attempting to reach agreement among themselves before voting with other nations in the confer ence. In case of serious differences, the delegations decision probably will be determined by majority vote with the disSenters remaining quiet in the conference meetings.
 But President oRosevelt already has committed the United States delegation to support the Soviet Unions request for three votes in stead of one in the assembly. If three other members of the eight member delegation join Vandenberg on this issue, 1t will cause complica- tions that probably won't be easy to solve.
 Despite speculation that the con- ference may be postponed because of events of the last week, U. s. officials said preparations were proceeding normally. But sugges- tions of poStponement continued, coming both from supporters and critics of the Dumbarton Oaks plan. The former feared that a conference in the present atmosphere might prevent any worthwhile agreement being reached.
 Russta's reaction to British and American rejection of her demand that the Lublin Poles be invited to San Francisco might make it neces- sary to consider such postpone ment. But Russia is not expected to press her rejected demand.
 If a postponement is being con- sidered at all, 1t will have to be

In a message to william Edwin Hall, president of the organization, President Roosevelt said:
 Please convey my greetings and good wishes to the Boys Clubs of America upon the occasion of Boys Club Week marking the thirty-ninth anniversary of the founding of your splendid character building organi- zation."
 Boys Clubs of America is a philan- ttropic organization with 25O mem- Der clubs from coast to coast. Lo- cated in congested areas, these clubs provide places for wholesome recreation and constructive activi- ties under qualified leadership.
 President Roosevelt commended the boys for the many contributions they have made on the home front. Com menting on their achievements in collecting salvage material, selling war bonds, making stretchers, splints and games for serNcemen, cultivat- ing victory gardens and aiding farmers, the President said, "Please extend my congratulations to them on their fine record of accomplish ment in volunteer aid of the war effort"
