Cafe Operators
Hail 15% Rise
In Meat Meals
OPA'S New Ruling
On Restaurant Prices
Is Effective Thursday

Washington restaurant ana
hotel operators today hailed
with satisfaction OPA's decision
to allow a Is per cent increase
in prices of meals containing
meat. ...t
The OPA ruling is effective next
Thursday.
Under the new order the price Of
meat Offering below 20 cents Will
be figured to the nearest cent and
items previously priced above 20
cents may be figured to the nearess
nickel. Thus the price increase may,
in some cases go little more than
the fiat Is cent rise.
12-Cent Hamburgers.
A 10-cent hamburger sandwich
thus may be now tagged at II cents.
according to the first interpreta-
tions. Or q 60-cent chop special
would go to 10 cents instead OF 69
cents under a straight Is per cent
figuring. A 81 steak dinner would
go to $1.15-an instance in which
the IS per cent boost may be ap.
piled most simply.
New methods Of figuring prices
based on decontrolled items-meat
is still controlled - will be Is.
sued Tuesday, the OPA indicated.
Whether this will mean any further
price increases in restaurant and
hotel meal prices was not immedi-
ately clear.
Arthur J. Harnett, secretary Of the
Washington Hotel Association, ex-
pressed satisfaction at the OPAs
action which he said his organiza-
ton had been seeking vigorously
since the September OPA ruling
rolled back meat items to the June
80 ceilings.
Many Won't Use Permit.
Walter F. Clark, president of the
National Restaurant Association,
predicted that now that restaurant
owners had made their point, many
will not take advantage OF the full
increase.
"Only in some cases where res
taurants have had to absorb higher
costs will they be passed on to the
consumer" Mr.. Clark said.
Last Monday organized WASH
ington restaurant operators de-
manded complete decontrol of their
| industry at mass meeting at the
United States Chamber of Com
merce. The meeting originally had
been scheduled to protest the roll
back to the June 80 ceilings. After
the gathering had been arranged
OPA announced it would reverse its
''roll back" order and allow price
| increases.
Under the order effective Thurs
day, OPA said the main dish or
entree will determine the cost Of
the meal. Thus, If meat Is the main
dish the Is per cent increase will
| be allowed, but If it is sea food or
/ other ingredient than meat an
actual cost plus the profit margin
of 1943 will be the basis of computa-
ton.
Drafted In Conferences.
The new price system was worked
out at a series of closed conferences
between OPA officials and the Ma
tional Restaurant Industry Advisory
Committee.
| Meanwhile, the Agriculture De-
partment asked farmers to aid in
boosting supplies of pork for the
winter of 1947-8 by producing 1947
spring pig crop of 58.000,000 head.
This, would be 5,676,00 more than
the 1916 spring crop.
The request followed an estimate
that there would be a Is per cent
reduction in the 1916 fall pig crop
from which next spring and sum-
mer pork supplies will be obtained.

Paris Commissions
Finish Work on
Five Peace Pacts
BuIsorion Reporotions
Deadlock Ends After
28-Hour Session
By The A.soeioisd Press

PARIS, Oct. 5.-The Peace
Conference Commissioners to-
day completed their work on
treaties, which now 60 before
full sessions of the conference
for action.
After a 28-hour session, the Bal
kan Economic Commission ended a
deadlock on reparations by adopt
ing a British proposal calling for
Bulgaria to pay $l25 100000 jointly
to Greece and Yugoslavia, the
amount to be divided later by the
Foreign Ministers Council.
The vote Of 8 to S was along East
West lines. The delegates were
haggard as the session ended,
A five-hour virtual fiilbuster by
Slav delegates, who wanted the Bull
garian reparations question referred
to the Big -Four, blocked an Ameri-
can proposal that Bulgaria pay
500 900 900 to Greece and Yugo-
slavia together and a British pro-
posal to pay that sum to Greece
alone, and settle with Yugoslavia
later.
Other Conference commissions
had completed their work on all
other clauses of the five peace
treaties-for Bulgaria. Finland,
Hungary, Italy and Romania-after
three long days and nights Of rush
work at the end of 10 weeks of
debate.
Wrangle Past Deadline.
At an hour which the confer
ence had fixed as the deadline for
receiving commission reports, pre-
paartory to opening plenary ses-
sions Monday. the Balkan-Finland
Commission still was wrangling.
Greek Delegate Jean Politis, in
sisting on a decision by the COM
mission, proposed an overall figure
Of 5000 900 600 for Bulgarian pay
ments, to be divided equally between
his country and Yugoslavia.
Soviet Delegate Fedor Gusev COM
planned that for weeks Greece had
been asking $685., ,oOo, 900 in repara-
tions and that the new figure would
require time for more study. Mr..
Politis retorted that Greece had
never asked for that high amount,
but had listed 1t as total Greek
damage suffered at Bulgarian
hands.
In a spirit Of conciliation," he
said, Greece would be content with
the 100000, 900.
Milan Bartos of Yugoslavia, pay
ing no attention to the 10-minute
gag rule under which, the commits
sions have been operating. talked
for IS minutes and suggested, rather
vaguely, that Yugoslavia be given
SIS 100000 and Greece $4,000, 900.
I'VE don't want to be Shylocks, "
said Mr.. BartoS.
e. A. Berthoud OF Great Britain
suggested that since Yugoslavia had
shown herself an eloquent advo-
cate of Bulgaria" the two countries
should settle their reparations

In Forestry Work
This progressive lumberman was
drafted into public service back
IN 1899 when he was elected Presi-
cent OF the North Carolina Forestry
Association. He agreed to take this
responsibility if the Association
would put on an educational pro.
gram and try to teach North Caro-
una landowners the importance OF
their timber crops. Then he was
reelected for three times before
the members would agree for him
to relinquish the job.
During that three-term period,
he did much to sell the state on
the importance of its numbering
industry. He is still chairman of
the board of Directors. He is also
president of the North Carolina
Forest Foundation which holds the
great Holman Forest in eastern
Carolina IN trust for the Forestry
School at State College. Mr.. Spen-
Ger is director of the American
Forestry Association and on tAe
important Committee of National
Park for this association. He
maintains his home in Carthage
but most of his waking hours are
out in the woods or at his lumber
plant.
Bought Pulpwood
During the war he has been buy.
ing pulpwood in the area betwee1
Raleigh and Hamlet for one of the
large paper companies and he
still buys timber and pulpwood, OF
course, on his own account.
Mainly, however, his interests
are in the acres OF trees, young and
old, now growing on his holdings in
Moore County. He knows each tract
just as you would know your gar.
den and he knows when one area
of either 400 or 1000 acres is ready
for harvest just as the tobacco
grower knows when to prime his
plants.
He also knows the various varie.
ties of trees and he kept me COM

TO SPEAK HERE

Will Address Community
Council Tuesday

All Wilmington civic organiza-
tons and the public, have been in.
vited to attend a special lecture by
DR.. Maurice H. Greenhill, Duke
university school of medicine, to-
morrow night at o'clock in the
main auditorium of the Second and
Orange USO club.
This invitation, extended by the
Community Council, might be con-
sidered unusual as the council
would ordinarily hold an annual
meeting of members for such an
occasion, Rabbi Samuel A. Fried.
man said.
For Mental Clinic
The invitation is being made to
the public in an effort to better
acquaint the people of the COM
munity with the workings and re-
suits to be derived from the estab-
Iishment of a mental clinic in Will
mington.
DR.. Greenhill is wel-versed in
the psychiatric problems with
which the world is faced.
He has chosen for his subject
''The Scope and Purpose of the
Mental Hygiene or the Child Guild
ance Cllnic,'' which according to
Rabbi Friedman, is timely sub
ject. The local group has been fav-
orably considering the establish
ment of a clinic here for several
months.
Child Feature
Rabbi Friedman emissions a
mental clinic which will serve the
purpose also of Child Guidance
clinic, the latter being made 9
feature of the work.
The psychiatrist salary would be
the main item of expense, Rabbi
Friedman predicts. This, he thinks,
might be arranged by having the
doctor come to the city on certain
days of the week or month, or in
ducing an established psychiatrist
to have clinic days which would
cause the cost of the mental clinic
to be lowered.
Benefit Community
Such a doctor could be hired reg
ularly by the community, and serve
as a social worker as well, thus
benefitting the community two-fold,
the official thinks.
"A city the size of Wilmington
needs such clinic, and the estab-
lishment of one would certainly be
meritorious project, Rabbi Fried.
man said.
Sell Idea First
However, we do not want to get
the cart before the horse, and try
to push something on tae people
which they feel they do not need.
First we must give them an op-
portunity to understand just what
the clinic would mean to the city,
how it would work, and what ii
would cost, before we can say a
clinic is going to be established, "
Rabbi Friedman said.

sions will be an opportunity to have
