Reds May Quit U. n,
British Paper Says
" ths Assoe;o,sd Press

LONDON, Sept. 5.-The London
Daily Mail, quoting reliable ir1for-
nation" speculated in a Paris dis
patch today that Russia might with
draw from the United Nations.
Wilson Broadbent, the newspapers
diplomatic correspondent, empha-
sized there was no oficial intima-
ton that Russia was planning to
quit the U. NJ, but set forth the
following as indications of the like
iy trend of Soviet policy"
Influential Russians within the
Communist party are no longer in
terested in international co-opera-
ton because they are convinced the
western powers are completely and
unremittingly opposed to their own
conceptions. -
That probably within the next six
months, or even earlier, Soviet Rus
sia will sever relations with the
western powers, retreat into isola-
ton and form her own international
organization as q rival to U. N. o.
for preserving the peace in her
sphere Of influence"
Richard B. Scandrett, chief of
UNRRA's mission to White Russia,
said the people Of "the worlds most
devastated section" were completely
puzzled by talk of a conflict be-
tween Russia and the western powers.
"All their energies are devoted to
repairing what the Germans did to
their country and they are mysti-
fed by American and British suSpi-
cions Of the Soviet Union" said Mr..
Scandrett, a New York Republican
leader, at a news conference before
returning to the United States.

|0PA Agrees 10 Probe
u. ). Cafeteria Prices

The ONCE of Price Administra-
ton yesterday agreed to investigate
charges of hidden" price increases
brought by the United Public
Workers of America (C1O) against
Government Services, Inc, before
acting on GsI's application for q
price increase of six per cent on the
food served in 50 Government
cafeterias here.
At q meeting with a committee
representing the four UPwA locals,
Deputy Price Administrator Jeffries
Baker told the group to put in
writing its charges that "ques-
tionable" GSI accounting methods
enabled the organization to show a
deficit when actually there had
been a profit.
Robert Sherman, business agent
for Local No. 3 of UPWA, and chair
man of the committee, said the
charges would be filed within a few
days. Basis for the complaint, he
said, was the price relief applica-
ton GSI filed last month with OPA,
asking for permission to raise prices
approximately per cent at its 50
cafeterias to Offset claimed deficit
OF $244, ,942 incurred during the first
seven months Of this year.
F. w. Hoover, general manager
Of GSI, said the concern was oper-
ating at daily loss Of 81 800.
Mr.. Sherman said his group also
would file with the local OPA office
charges that GSI had violated price
regulations by reducing the amount
and quality Of food portions served
before the lifting OF controls June
80. He said his committee today
would lay the matter before the
Public Buildings Administration,
which contracts with GSI for use
of the eating places.

London Securities Drop
Under SeIIinq Pressure

LONDON, Sept. 5 R.-Selling
pressure and a lack Of demand,
prompted by recent breaks in New
York security prices, caused sub
stantial losses on the London Stock
Exchange today.
Liquidation at no time reached
important proportions but all
markets were nervous and the de-
nnand so thin that prices reacted
quickly.
Heaviest losses were in the indus
trial section, in South African gold
mining and Rhodesian copper
shares, and in shares of companies
with American interests. British
bonds were steady.
Wall Streets stock market ha.
caused considerable comment ir
London financial circles, but ths
consensus Is that the recession re.
fleets the "mercurial American TEN.
perament" rather than a seriou,
symptom Of economic weakness.
Experts tended to dismiss the
theory that the decline foreshad.

There was general agreement with

Rent Control kssaiIed
As Political Gag as
Realty Session Opens

James G. Downes, jr., president Of
the Real Estate Research Corp. Of
Chicago, speaking today before a
country wide meeting of real estate
ofncials, charged OPA rent controls
are being continued for political rea-
sons.
Assailing the regulations as a rent
freeze rather than a control and as
a political gag, Mr.. Downes said they
held down rents while other prices
were allowed to rise, and were
therefore Santa Claus gift to the
American people.
Mr.. Downes spoke at the opening
Of q three-day session OF presidents
Of local real estate boards at the
Hotel Statler. Approximately 200
persons from all over the country at
tended.
The Research Corp. ofIicials de-
clared rent increases are necessary
and denied they would be infiation-
ary.
Rise in Other Costs Cited.
"The idea that q rent increase is
infiationary is childish, from an eco
nomic point OF view" he said. He
pointed out that rents at present
stand at a level per cent higher
than in 1899 while other costs have
risen more sharply.
There Is fallacious philosophy
held by Government statisticians
and planners that the United States
Is fiat broke and everybody Is poor" ("
he said. Instead, there has been
a basic change in the economy, and
people can afford to pay more rent. :"
Declaring the cost of living has
risen 81 per cent since 1889, Mr..
Downes said that If rents had been
allowed to 60 up, the increase would
have been so per cent. Therefore,
Mr.. Downes declared, property own
ers had subsidized the cost of liv-
ing and permitted the Government
to claim there had been only q 80
per cent cost Of living increase.

Snyder Finds Experts
Disagree on Cause
OF Stock Slump
BY the Asseeiosed Prsss

Secretary OF the Treasury Sny.
der yesterday ascribed the stock
market decline TO "the general sit
uation" and said there Is nothing
in the international economic situa-
ton to cause a break"
The Secretary, at q news confer
ence, also declared there Is no evi-
dence OF French and Dutch selling
of Of securities in this country"
He said he had checked reports of
that character with "officials OF the

political situation" had effected the
market, Snyder confined himself to
the reply: 'I'm not In international
politics"
The Secretary, back from a weeks
vacation with President Truman,
said he had talked to several ex-
perts" about the market slump and
each expert gave q different set
Of reasons"
He declined extended discussion
OF the decline in securities, saying
Were not running the market"
He did, however, volunteer the
comment that Government bonds
had mot been affected in any par
ticular fashion"
Mr.. Snyder said careful atten-
ton" is being given to a proposal
by commercial bankers that the
Government offer for sale bonds
Of small denominations which, un-
like War Bonds, could be used as
collateral to secure loans. He added,
however, that mo conclusions" had
been reached.
Further discussions of that pro-
posal and another to issue long
term Government bonds for savings
institutions are expected when Mr..
Snyder follows up his meeting with
commercial bankers September 16-

Mrs. Hermann, Alaska OPA Director Praises And Leaves Nome

Mildred Hermann, Alaska Di- rector of the OPA was an outgoing passenger for Anchorage today with the Alaska AirlineS after a ten-day visit to Seward Peninsula.
 Mrs. Hermann stated that the merchants of Nome has been very compliant with the OPA regula- tionS and that she had noted very few violations here, although the situation in several of the outlying trading posts have not been satis- factory. Especially noteworthy was the fact, she stated that in the interim in which there was no price control, Nome merchants held steadily to established cell ings.
 Mrs. Hermann had high praise for the local OPA board who have given so generously of their time.
 Mrs. Hermann expressed her ap- preciation for the many courtesies shown her during her visit and declared "the Nome Chamber of Commerce is certainly an energet- ic and forceful organization" The dinner given in honor of the Hear ing Commission was one of the incest community affairs I have ever attended. l was impressed with the various civic matters at the chamber meeting and the CO., operation the members exhibited in appearing as witnesses at the hearing"
 Mrs. Hermann also attended a special meeting of the Home Arts Club as she is former president of the Alaska Federation and has long been interested in club work in the Territory. She discussed the legal status of women in Alaska, a subject which the Federation has given considerable study and attention.
 In connection with the rate hearing Mrs. Hermann stated that should the commission find the rates fair and equitable, obviously the government must find a solu- ton elsewhere as Alaska is too important to the nation as whole for the handful of Americans who have devoted their lives here to carry the burden of additional costs and higher rates

Housing Agency Bans Color Bar

All racial and religious groups, as we'll as all brackets of family income, must be given equal and fair treatment as the Nation re- builds and expands it's housing, Philip M. Klutznick, Commissioner of the Federal Public Housing Au- thority, stated recently before the annual meeting of the Architects Institute of America at Miami, Florida.
 ''This is much easire said than done,"M r. Klutznick declared. <'By our deeds of omission as we'll as commission we have given sane tion to discrimination in meeting the needs of our people. To reverse a long-accepted trend requires a willingness to undertake unpopu- lar and improbable assignments. It means never-ending fight against the steel bands that have confined large numberstof our peo- pie to poorly-selected, overcrowded and congested areas of land. It means the opening up ot new iron tiers in land and in mind. It means fighting obstacles without number yet it is fight which must be made if the spirit of America is to grace and hallow the beauty of our physical accomplishments"
 MT. KlutZnick stressed that the quality of housing must not be sacrificed on the alter of quantity in the drive to reach the target set by the Veterans Emergency Hous- ing program. He said that the Ma tional Housing Agency, under Will son w. Wyatt's leadership, is striv- ing to avert this danger, and that the preventive is sound planning to meet the economic and social ambitions of the American people.
