Rankin Opposes Raise.
In GI Pensions, Fearing.
New Economy Act
By Miriom Ottenbero

Chairman Rankin of the House
Veterans Committee warned today
that too liberal increases in vet
erans' pensions might bring on
another economy act. He made the
comment just before the commit
tee went in executive session to
consider 20 per cent increases in
pension rates for veterans and thei,
dependents.
II saw some increases in the
'20s which resulted in the Economy
Act of 1885," Mr.. Rankin said. Il
want to be careful that we don't
go so far in legislation that we
provoke another economy bill in
the next few years."
Veterans Administrator Bradley
who appeared again before the COM
mittee today to back up his earlier
opposition to pension increases, said
he had taken into consideration the
dangers of an economy act and did
not want to recommend anything
that would result in looping off pen
sions as was done in 1888.
Favors Maintenance of Pension.
Gen. Bradley has gone on record
in favor of only one portion of the
revised pension bill-the part pro-
viding that a veterans pension
should not be reduced while he is
in hospital or veterans home. At
present veterans with dependents
keep their full! pension while hos
pitalized, but the pensions of un-
married veterans are cut to a maxi
mum of $40 a month.
Representative Scrivner, Republi-
can, of Kansas predicted that if hos
pitalized veterans are allowed to
keep their full pensions, come pay
day, hell will be raised around the
hospitals"
Gen. Bradley conceded that al
lowing veterans to keep their full
pensions might bring on abuses, but
he contended that this was the most
equitable way of handling the prob
lem.
Bradley Continues Opposition.
He explained in answer to ques-
tions that he favored full pensions
during disqualification because sin
gle veterans as well as the married
ones, had commitments outside the
hospital that had to be met and also
because number of tuberculosis
patients are leaving veterans hos
pitfalls before they are cured in order
to get back on full pensions.
While several members of the
committee contended that veterans
pensions should be increased since
the wages of Federal workers had
been increased, Gen. Bradley stuck
stubbornly to his contention that
another 20 per cent increase in pen
sions would mean THAT veterans

|D.C.Meai Dealers Vote
To Close Next Week
Unless Controls End

Government price controls drew
the renewed fire of wholesalers and
retailers today as meat stocks OF
District area homes and stores
neared the vanishing point.
Paul D. herman, president OF
District Grocery Stores, said the
meat boxes of practically all 237
stores in his group. were Cleaned
out" He saw no relief-and said
ne was confident he voiced the feel
ing from producer to butchers
showcase-until controls are re-
moved.
Last night independent wholesale
meat dealers belonging to the Mer-
chants g. Manufacturers Association
voted to close next week If controls
are not lifted.
Action Somewhat Unexpected
The group met at the Hotel Stat
Ier and Paul Danzansky, attorney
for the wholesale foods division OF
the merchants organization, said
the action was somewhat unex-
pected.
'It was a regular meeting" he
said, "and one member got up and
began to talk about his payroll wor-
ries with practically no meat to sell.
Others got into the discussion and
they suddenly decided to take the
action"
Mr.. Danzansky said the group
represented dealers who furnish go
per cent of the normal supply Of
the city's meat"
Other Foods Were Cheaper.
Mr.. Herman said he was not OPP
posed to the principal Of controls
in some commodities, dry groceries,
for instance, but he said American
economics will not harmonic in
controlling meat.
Look back in July and August
when controls were off," he said.
Meat was high, but at least its
presence on the market resulted in
decline in the price of poultry
and some seafood so that the house.
wife could get something for the
table at least.
Mr.. Herman, while asserting he
"did not blame them bit" said
closing of the independent whole
sale meathouses wouldn't make the
situation any worse as far as the
consumer is concerned. ;.
They've naturally got to cut ex-
penses," ne said. ''but they haven't
got any meat. We are able to put

According to the more pessimistic
observers it may mean that at the
meeting OF the Pohtbureau last
week, to which Foreign Minister
Molotov had been summoned from
Paris, a decision was reached, not
to dilly-dally with the Western
democracies. This view is sup
ported by the fact that the Soviet
foreign minister made a "challeng-
ing speech" Wednesday at the
Peace Conference.
Other observers-mostly in the
diplomatic set-believe that the
temporary prohibition Of all Ameri-
can flights over the territories be-
hind the iron curtain may be a war
of nerves maneuver. They base this
conclusion on the fact that the
Trieste settlement, which was ap-
proved by q majority vote at the
Peace Conference, must now be re-
ferred to the Foreign Ministers OF
the Big -Four. It is suspected In Of
ficials circles that Mr.. Molotov will
veto that decision as ''undemo-

Did Not Receive All
Customs Courtesies
BY The Assseiaisd Prsss

The Russian Embassy today de-
scribed as mot correct" the state
ments of American customs oficials
that Soviet Ambassador Nikolai v.
Noyikov was given "all the usual
diplomatic courtesies" on his arrival
in New York last Friday.
Mikhail S. Vavilov, First Secretary
of the Embassy, said statements by
Harry M. Burning, collector Of the
port of New York, and William r.
johnson, customs commissioner, "do
not give a true picture Of the incl
dent"
Mr.. vavilov made his remarks ct
an embassy news conference-one
of the few called there in recent
years.
His statements were said by In
formed oficials to repeat for the
most part the contentious in q pro-
test note sent by the embassy to
the State Department Saturday.
Mr.. Vavilov said he first had
thought that the ''tactless treat
ment" of Mr.. Novikov had been due
to "lack of experience" on the part
of immigration officials.
Therefore, he said, he was sur
prised when he read the statements
of Mr.. Burning and Mr.. johnson
which justified the treatment given
the Ambassador OF these ofncials.
Mr.. Vavilov's main points about
the incident were these:
l. Customs and immigration in
spectors first demanded that Mr.,
Novikov's baggage 60 through all
usual formalities, instead of getting
diplomatic immunity.
2. These officials "fiatly and In
rough manner refused Mr.
Novikov's requests for permission
to call the Soviet consul general
in New York to contact the State
Department.
5. The consul general, Jacob
Lomakin, was refused permission
to approach the plane on which
the Ambassador arrived or to enter
the building where Mr.. Novikov
was detained.
4. When an official named Slaum,
superior to the customs clerks, ar
rived on the scene, he threw aside
Mr.. Novikov's passport and de-
manded that the Ambassador I'LL
out a blank form.
S. Only after an hours delay and
complete examination" did Mr..
Novikov obtain permission to leave
the airport, and even then more
negotiation was required to obtain
his luggage.
Mr.. Vavilov said, in answer to q
question, that Mr.. Novikov thus far
has heard nothing from the State
Department In answer to the Soviet
protest note.
When a reporter called Mr..
Vavilov's attention to statement
yesterday by Secretary Of the Treas
TRY Snyder that customs officials had
not been notified in advance that
Mr.. Novikov was arriving, Mr..
Vavilov said:
1.-THE airlines always know exactly
who is on their planes"
"Usually-in fact in. the great
majority of caSes-American GUS
toms and immigration officials are
very cooperative the Embassy
secretary commented.
Mr.. Vavilov assured questioner
that when the American Ambassador
arrives in Moscow he is subjected
to no formality at all by Soviet
officials.
