New York, Sept. - (UP) - Re tail trade in the United States for the week ended Sept. 4 ran 28 to 32 percent ahead of the corresponding 1945 period as resumption of Sat urday business by many stores more than offset the effects of the Labor Day holiday, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, reported today.

OPAExpects New Prices

Washington, Sept. T. (UP) An OP.A. economist told housewives today to expect further increases in the prices of dairy products, eggs and clothing in the months ahead.
 He said dariy products and eggs now free of price controls-would be the main trouble spots" in the food picture because of the season. al decline in supplies. Meat also is due for a seasonal slump but will be back under retail price control Monday.
 On clothing, the O.P.A. expert said, the most striking" increases will be in cotton apparel because of price adjustment provisions in the new O.PA. act. But he also expected rises in the cost of wool and rayon clothing as result of abolition of O.P.A.'s maximum averake price program.
 An O.P.A. spokesman said the retail price of sugar also would be increased soon. He said the exact amount of the increase had not been decided. But it was expected to be more than one cent a pound. The increase will result also in higher prices for sugar products.
 The sugar increase is required by the higher price that the Com modity Credit Corporation, has promised Cuban producers.
 On most other cost-of living items, the O.P.A. official expected prices to go up a little but not enough to put in your eye"

Britons Pray
 To Stop Rain

London, Sept. T. (UP) A national day of prayer will be held in all churches in England tomorrow at the request of the National Farmers Union, whose members face the worst crop damage in British history be- cause Of excessive rainfall.
 The Archbishop of York or dered the prayers after he had been informed by the Union that damage of 50 percent al- ready had been reported from some sections.
 A miracle" is needed to save the rest of the wheat, barley oats and rye in inundated areas.
 Weeks Of incessant rain and high winds have fattened and blackened many thousands of acres of Britain's best land just at harvest time.
 Many days of sun and drying winds are necessary before the farmers can begin to gather the harvest but the weather fore cast is for more rain.
 It has been the wetteSt Au- gust in England since 1912.

UNAtomic EnereyUnit Reports

United Nations Headquarters, Lake Success, N. Y, Sept. 7-(UP)-Com- plete agreement has been reached by tions Atomic Energy Commission on the first international report ever written about atomic power.
 Representative of the 12 coun- tries were scheduled today to sign formally the report-a strictly tech- nical document compiled by the members of the Atomic Energy Commissions scientific and technic- al committee.
 The document admittedly dealt with only a small phase of the atomic commissions search for world atomic control plan, but it's unanimous approval by the scient- istS' committee created a stir of en- couragement in LIN circles.
 One LIN official characterized it as "a truly collaborative effort" in the direction of ultimate interna- tional control of atomic energy.
 He disclosed that the report, which will be passed on to the atomic Commissions Political Com mittee, docs not advocate any con- trol plan" But the document does explain the processes of atomic en- ergy and the ways of diverting its military use unless safeguards are applied
 The scientists and technicians outline the safeguard that can be applied, he added, and explain the scientific considerations involved in applying them.
 The report was hammered out section by section in Is meetings of the committee, which was ordered to draft its report so the Atomic Political Committee could resume it's efforts to resolve differences be- tween the Russian and American plans for atomic control

Maine Polls Open Monday Nation Watches
 COPS Strength

Portland, Me, Sept. 7.-CUP)- Republican incumbent will be seek ing reelection to the five top offices at stake when Maine voters go to the polls Monday in the na- tion's first state election of 1946.
 Four of the 10 candidates in- volved in these contests have been endorsed by the CLOS Political Action Committee. These include one Republican and three Demo- crats.
 In the U. S. Senatorial race Sen. Owen Brewster, (R.-Dexter) is op- posed by Peter M. Macdonald, D.- RumforO.
 Gov. Horace A. Hildreth, R.- Cun1berlanO is opposed by F. Da- wis Clark, D.-Milo).
 The congressional lineup is as follows:
 First District-Rep. Robert Hale, R.-Portland) vs John c. Fitzger- ald, D.-PortlanO.
 Second distrid-Rep. Margaret ChaseSmibn, (R.- .-SkowhegaD vs Edward J. Beauchamp, D.-Lewis- ton).
 Third District-Rep. Frank Eel lows, R.-BangoD s John M. Cog hill, D.-Old Town).
 Mrs. Smith, Mac Donald, Fftzger- aid and Coghill are those endorsed by the CIO.-P.AC.
 Additionally regarded as poli- tical weathervane, the election will be watched as a guage to potential Republican strength in November. Some observers feel that if the COP fails to poll 65 percent of the vote in the Maine election, the party's chances nationally are not bright for November.
 A major issue in the election will be a referendum to approve a $16,- GOO, 900 bond issue. The money would be used to pay veterans $50 bonus and expand educational and vocational training programs for veterans. The bond issue would be paid off through a percent luxury tax on such items as the aters, liquor and cigarets.
