HOT BATTLE CONTROL
 MEAT PRICE
National Farmers Union Calls on Labor 10 Help
 Dust Anderson
By OVID A. MARTIN

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The tu- mutt over continued price controls for meat waXed hotter today as the National Farmers Union called on organized labor to join in drive for the custer of Secretary of Agri- culture Anderson.
 President Trumans emphatic de- claration that the administration still stands firmly for continued price controls on meat and livestock apparently had no dampening effect
 The Farmers Union claimed that Anderson had encouraged "tre- mendous campaign" against meat price controls, and said further he was principally responsible for the country's current food shortages.
 MT. Truman said Anderson saw eye to eye with him on the necessity for continued controls, but on Capi- tol Hill some lawmakers declared the Secretary of Agriculture had given them the impression he fav- bred removing meat ceilings if the black market situation does not clear up in 90 days.

MACARTHUR PUTS PURGE
 ON 1 NIPPON
By Russell Brines

TOKYO, May 4.-General Mac Arthur today disqualified Ichiro Hatoyama, one-time Fascist pro- pagandist, from ever holding pub- lie office in Japan and thus furth- CT confused the country's turbu- lent post-election problems.
 MacArthur, obviously tired of the fruitless, two-week political dead lock, also gave the government of resigned but still acting Premier Shidehara a verbal spanking for dereliction of duty.
 It was learned tonight that be- fore MacArthur's action, Shidehara unofficially had notified Emperor Hirohito that his resigned cabinet had decided to offer the premier ship to Hatoyama.
 It was shoulder struggling ges- ture because the Premier, as well as ether official Japanese, were well aware that Hatoyamas dis qualification was imminent. But they had failed to convince the Liberal Party leader to bow cut gracefully.

0pA SHOCKED AT RISE IN pRI(ES
 OF MALE ATTIRE

WASHINGTON. May 4. n OPA embarrassed and surprised at ip- oIstry reports that prices for mems suits are rising, set out today to learn whether it's true.
 The agency launched an investi- gation of prices after removing a restriction which clothing produc- CTS claim was blocking delivery to retail stores of from 75 to 80 per- cent of suits being made.
 We are astounoed,y OPA said in statement last night, "by trade reports that the new pricing order IS causing increases of from 5 to 25 percent in prices of mems suits
 This was a reference to a price adjustment OPA made in. March At that time OPA said there would be no general increase in mems suit prices. The agency expected higher prices for some manufac- turers, but it said these would be offset .,y reductions for others.
 Thus far there have been few if any reductions, but plenty of in- creases, according to OPA's indus try reports.

 Against Actress
By REMBERT JAMES

MOSCOW, May 4.-Waldo Ruess of Hollywood, Calf, United States Embassy Clerk, received summons today to appear Wednesday in the Moscow City Prosecutors office to answer charges of committing "in- solent acts against an actress from one of Moscow's State theatres.
 Ruess, whose home is on North Ardmore Ave. Hollywood, Calf, de- clined to comment. He has been a member of the administrative staff of the embassy for two years and had been expecting to leave soon for home. He was not arrested or asked to post any bail. The Moscow newspaper Trud, in one of the few instances in which it has published police court news, printed an account under the head line:
 ''Hooligan Acts of an American Citizen"
 Riding in an automobile with a Soviet citizen. an actress in one of the Moscow State theatres" the labor newspaper said. "a member cf the American Embassy in Mos COW, Waldo Ruess, permitted him. self a number of insoleht hooligan acts towards her.
 "Ruess' haoligan acts were stop ped only after interference by a po- liceman. who hastencd to the citi- zen's cries for help.
 Tn accordance with Soviet laws, Ruess will be brought up for crim- inal proceedings.'
 Foreign diplomats, commenting on legal aspects of the case. said that members of embassy staffs in other countries customarily enjoyed diplo- matic immunity, but that the So- viets apparently had not extended this immunity to clerks and others who are not on the official diplo- matic list

 Borders, Europe
By Louis Nevin

PARIS, May 4 The Foreign Ministers Council heard state ments on the disputed Italo- Yugo- slav border from each of the four ministers in a three-hour session today, which indicated they were as far from solution of the prob lem as they were last September in London.
 A member of the American Del egation said the positions of the four ministers on the border prob lem was unchanged. The American said there was no sign of agree ment, with Russian Foreign Min ister Vyacheslay M. Molotov lined up against his American, British ard French colleagues
 A British source said Molotov described the border lines proposed by the other powers as punishment of Yugoslavia, wartime ally. U. 5. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes denied this, saying that the Yugoslays under the American. British and French proposals would obtain Plume, l8,900 square miles of new territory and 375,000 inhab- itants.
 Molotoy, agreeing that Trieste was technically Italian. was report ed to have demanded that the city De turned over to Yugoslavia be- cause it was an integral part of .ne surrounding countryside which, he held, was technically Yugoslav.

Goal Strike Is Hitting Hard, Food Problem
Steel Production Also Sag. ging-Sfeps Taken by
 Penn. Governor
(By The Associated Press)

While the 34-day soft coal strike continued to spread creep ing paralysis throughout the steel Industry and seriously hamper rail- roads, Pennsylvania Governor Ed ward Martin made an effort today to get enough coal mined to meet vital public utility needs.
 Martin named three of his Cabinet :. members to confer in Pittsburgh to- day with four District Vice-Presi- dents of the AFL United Mine Workers on whether coal can be mined for utilities servicing hospitals and other essential consumer.
 At Washington, J. A. Krug, Solid Fuels Administrator, declared in a Statement that the relief and re- Mobilization program for Europe is on the verge of collapse because of the shortage of coal for transpor- : tation.
 There is grave possibility, he said, that great quantities of food will not reach starving people in the liberated nations in time to avert an international catastrophe. .
 Meanwhile, the nations output of Steel-vital to peacetime reconver- sion dropped nearly six points to SIT per cent of capacity this week. It was the sixth straight week that production has sagged.
 Fast-emptying fuel bins and lack of steel from basic producers brought additional sharp curtailments in such steel-making centers as Buff falo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Birmingham. and threatened to add thousands to the more than 71,000 workers in coal-consuming indus tries already idled by the coal short age.
 At the same time, railroad of ficials were working out arrange
