u. ). Faces Reduction
OF Half Billion Pound.
OF Meat Next Year
Prospect Of Rotioninq
Revived by Agriculture
Departments Forecast

Consumers of the United States
face an even tighter meat supply in
1947 than this year.
This was the forecast today of the
Agriculture Department which re-
ported that the 1947 supply of meats
may fall 5O0,oO0,OO0 pounds below
this years output as result of feed
grain shortages and recent increases
In ceilings for livestock feed.
The report served to renew the
prospect OF meat rationing before
the end Of 1916, move already sug-
gested by some Government officials
The department reported that
consumers, if they could find the
supply, would buy an average of Is
to 20 pounds more meat this year
than will be available. AS for next
year, the public can look for shorter
supplies of all types of meat-beef,
pork, lamb and mutton.
Experts estimate this years pro-
duction of meat will be about o.
900, 900 900 pounds, or about 2,OOO,-
1000 less than the record output of
1944-at time when rationing was
In effect. Exports of meat are ex-
pected to exceed the 1900, ,OO0, 900
pounds shipped in l945, but will be
below the $500, ,00o, 900 pounds sent
abroad in 1943. ....
The department said the tight feed
situation and increases in ceiling
prices of grain have sharply changed
the livestock picture from what
seemed probable few months ago.
In other developments yesterday
the department disclosed that sales
OF butter at black market prices rose
during May even in the face of in
creased seasonal production. It also
told of large meat packers continu-
ing to be outbid on most beef cattle
reaching markets.
Butter production in May appar-
emily was 80 per cent below a year
ago and so per cent below May, 1941,
due principally to a more profitable
market for cream. 1t was hoped,
however, that the new dairy prices
announced Wednesday by the Office
of Economic Sterilization will elm
mate that situation.
On the question Of cattle buying,
the department admitted that black
market operations are continuing
despite the Governments slaughter
control program.

Truman Orders Pay Survey
Covering All Federal Workers
Move Seen as Step to RecIossiy Jobs,
With Upgroding of Some Probable

1t was estimated the study might
take year or even longer. No over
all study of the Federal pay scale
has been undertaken since the adop-
tion of the Federal Classification
Act of 1923.
Primary purpose of the survey
would be to reclassify the various
jobs in the Federal service, upgrad-
ing those positions that are deemed
of more Importance than they are
now given and downgrading jobs
which now are classified too high
ANY recommendations made by
Budget Bureau and Civil Service
Commission officials would have to
be approved by Congress.
The survey presumably also would
go into the matter of higher salaries
for top Federal officials and proposed
dif1erentials in pay based on geo.
graphical cost of living factors.

Senate Delays Debate
On Draft Extension
In Change Of Plans
Atomic Energy Control
And Agriculture Funds
Bill Are Taken UP

In a last-minute change of
plans, the Senate today took up
the bill to control atomic energy
and put off until Monday debate
on a one-year extension of the
draft law.
Majority Leader Barkley ex-
pressed hope the Senate would pass
both the atomic energy bill and the
s5sS, 100000 Agricultural Appropria-
ton bill this afternoon.
Earlier, Senator Austin, Repub-
lican, of Vermont demanded prompt
extension of the draft to strengthen
the hand of the United States in
international negotiations.
His arguments pinned tightly to
the contention that this country
must regain the prestige lost since
victory" the Vermont legislator said
in an interview that the lack of a
peace force" has been handicapping
the United States in postwar deal
ings with other major powers.
A member of both the Senate
Military Affairs and Foreign Rela-
tions Committees, Senator Austin
tartly declared that people who
have suffered military aggression
i have little faith in promises
without works. Representations
without apparent power to make
them good have little persuasive
ness"
Senate Takes Up Draft.
Senator Austin's views were ad-
vanced with the virtual certainty
that efforts will be made on the
Senate floor to scrap the selective
service machinery completely, or tc
accept a House-approved morato-
rum on the draft until October
Against both proposals have beer
trained the heavy guns of the
armed forces, backed up by Secre-
tary of State Byrnes who has ex.
pressed deep concern in private
over demobilization below the leve!
necessary to maintain present mill
tary commitments.
The House measure, in addition te
imposing the moratorium on induc.

New Effort SET
To Avert Strike
Of Ship Workers
CIO and Operators
To Meet Tonight;
Truman AssuiIed
BY the Associated Press

In an atmosphere of pessimism
and bitterness, CIO maritime
leaders and ship operators
agreed to make a fresh try at
O'Clock tonight in their efforts tc
avert a shipping strike June IS
On the one hand, the CIO leaders
are claiming that President Truman
has torpedoed the negotiations and
thrown his full support to the oper-
ators-and that he'll regret it at
election time.
On the other hand, Government
agencies are Systematically mobiliz-
ing to run the ships of CIO seamen
longshoremen, telegraph operators
and other maritime workers 20
through with their threatened strike
for 40-hour week and higher pay
Labor Leaders Angered.
Strong words entered the situation
yesterday when Mr.. Truman told
his news conference he will use the
Army, Navy and Coast Guard il
that's what it takes to keep the mer-
chant marine running.
What the President said aroused
Harry Bridges and Joseph Curran
co-chairmen of the committee for
maritime unity representing seven
unions involved in the dispute. They
criticized him for adopting such an
attitude.
A statement issued in behalf OF
the committee last night said the
unions came here at the request of
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
to carry on peaceful negotiations to
avert strike, and they had COM
piled with Mr. SchWellenbach's re-
quest that neither side make any
public statement that might hurt
the negotiations, but
President Truman today, in COM
plete disregard of the facts involved
in the negotiations, and despite the
Secretary of Labor's demand for no
inflammatory statements, has de-
liberately fired a torpedo into the
negotiations. I
BY guaranteeing the American
ship operators that he will break
any maritime strike and will break
any maritime union daring to strike
he has encouraged the American
ship operators to refuse any rea-
Sonable settlements . ."
Will Attend Session.
The statement said that despite
the Presidents remarks, the unions
would attend tonights negotiating
session at the Labor Department
and keep on seeking an agreement
Here are the concluding sentences:
THE torpedo that President Tru-
man sent into the union ship owner
conference will eventually have ef-
fects he never expected. 1t will
eventually explode to the detriment
of his entire administration, his
party and any future presidential
ambition he might entertain at this
time.
THE maritime unions hope that
the American people will make
President Truman realize that he
needs a 'cooling-off' period between
his strike-breaking acts"
Bridges and Curran told reporters
what they have said before-that no
bona f1de" troop ships nor "legit'
mate" famine relief ships W.. be
struck.
