time

Decision on RESTORING
Dairy Price Ceilings
Is Due Late Today
By the Assoeioisd Press

The Price Decontrol Board ex-
poets to decide today whether
prices of milk, butter, cheese and
other dairy products have risen
"unreasonably" during the past
month.
A spokesman for the three -mem-
be independent agency said 1t
planned to announce the decision
about 4 pm. after commodity mar
kets and trading have ended for the
day.
If the finding is that prices have
climbed too high, the board could
direct return Of OPA ceilings to
single products, such as cheese or
butter, or reimpose controls over the
entire list of dairy products.
The panel also could order con-
trolls over milk on regional basis.
Can Do Nothing About Meat.
Today's scheduled decision was
set exactly one month after the
board held on August 20 that milk
and its products should continue
free Of OPA restrictions while the
industry had fair trial at holding
its own prices in line.
Meanwhile, the panel emphasized
that it can do nothing now about
appeals concerning asserted meat
famines" growing out of its action
last month placing meats and live
stock back under price lids.
Through an information aide, the
board said that under terms of the
OPA Extension Act, it can not con-
slider decontrolling meats or any
other controlled product unless a
request first is made to Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson and
rejected.

The Government figures to make
profit of more than 100000 900 on
$40 100000 spent so far this year
supporting producer prices of pota-

The profit prospect was outlined
today by Agriculture Department Of

The agency has purchased 32,00O,-
600 bushels of surplus potatoes at a
cost of $42.000000, including han

The potatoes were sold to starch
makers and liquor distillers for
about $10000,000-a loss of s32,-

But the whisky produced from the

This years potato crop was one
of the largest of record and con-
siderably larger than consumer food

depressed prices that the Govern

out the producer price guarantee.
At the present time producer

CHICAGO. Sept. 20.-There will
be enough mems clothes in the Ma
tion's retail clothing stores this
winter, according to Morris r
Myers, president of the National AS
sociation of Retail Clothiers and
Furnishers.
Mr.. Myers. head of the group
representing most of the country S
5000 retail mems clothing stores,
gave this outlook following a meet
ing yesterday Of the groups board
of directors:
The supply Of suits, topcoats and
overcoats will gradually improve in
the next six to nine months. until
the end Of that period the demand
will keep stores from building up
reserve.
The shortage of mems furnish
ings-shirts, handkerchiefs. socks
underwear-can be relieved in much
shorter time because less skill is re-
quired in manufacturing them,
Mr.. Myers said production already
is above the 1899 level but that
shortage of labor in the needle
trades Is the chief bottleneck in
clothing production.

District Drive Planned
10 Help Find Jobs for
HandicappedWorke

A report disclosing that 228, ,00C
disabled veterans and IS 900 disabled
civilians are now job-hunting was
made public today as the District
Commissioners called upon Wash
ington residents to observe October
to- IL as National Employ the
Physically Handicapped Week.
The Commissioners proclamation,
following an earlier one from the
President, urged civic groups to hold
exercises to foster the widest pos
sible public support for and interest
in the employment of otherwise
qualified but physically handicapped
workers.
The Commissioners said it should
be matter of patriotic pride to
us all to lend our assistance to those
heroes of the war who returned with
physical handicaps.'
28 Million Have Disabilities.
A report made public by the Re-
training and Unemployment Ad-
ministration showed that a mini
mum of 28,O00,0O0 persons in the
United States have some physical
disability. While most of them have
disabilities which do not prevent
them from doing satisfactory work
approximately 2,50O,0O0 persons of
working age have injuries which
interfere with their getting and
holding suitable jobs, the report
said.
In addition to the 228 900 disabled
veterans who are now ready for work
and registered with the United
States Employment Service, the
RRA said, approximately 100000
more are taking vocational rehabili-
tation courses under the Veterans
Administration and soon will be
job hunting. Others are in training
under the CT Bill of Rights.
Tremendous Cost Cited.
THE cost in money, manpoWer,
productive energy and happiness due
to unemployment of handicapped
persons is tremendous alsi most of
that cost is unnecessary, the IRA
report commented.
The Commissioners have named
Nathan D. Golden of the Commerce
Department as chairman of the Dis
trict committee for observance of
National Employ the Physically
Handicapped Week here His deputy
chairmen include David Amato,
District rehabilitation officer; Fred
z. Hetzel District USES director

.5ecurityCounci|v Votes
On Greek Issue Today;
u. 5. Proposals Due
By the Associated Pres.

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Sept. 90
The United Nations Security
Council was ready for balloting to-
day on whether it will bypass on
deal further with questions raised
by the Soviet Ukraine's charges that
Greece, with British aid, is threaten
ing peace in the Balkans.
Concluding its third week of de-
bate on the issue, the Council had
before 1t an apparently foredoomed
Soviet resolution laying the blame
solely on Greece for reported Al
banian border incidents, and coun-
terproposals of the Netherlands
and Australia.
| In addition, the United States
delegation was ready to present al
ternate proposals before the voting
begins, and will join the leadership
for ma jority rejection of the Rus
sian resolution.
United States Delegate Herschel
V. johnson was expected to press
for Council commission or sub
committee which would examine in
cidents and the plights of racial mi
norlties, not only along the Albanian
border but on the entire Greek from
tier, which also touches on Bulgaria
and Yugoslavia.
Such proposed commission could
study the situation at first hand a
subcommittee might examine all the
presented evidence and perhaps call
for further information while sitting
here.
The resolution offered by Russian
Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko, cur
rent Council chairman, seeks to have
the Council hold Greece responsible
for the Albanian border situation on
the basis of charges made by
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitri
Manuilsky. The resolution also
would require Greece to cease dis
turbing peace" in the Balkans and
would keep the case on the agenda
until the situation calmed.
Only Poland has supported Mr.
Gromykos proposal.
| The Netherlands proposal would
have the Council call on Greece, Al
bania, Bulgaria and Yugoslayia to
pacify their borders, but would re-
frain from any attempt at fixing the
blame for the reported troubles.
The Australian resolution simply
provides that the Council pass on to
The next business, thus Sjdetrackine
the Ukraine's charges but leaving
them on the agenda for revival at
any time at the call of any men,
Der.
Russia and Poland have opposed
the Netherlands and Australian
proposals, and there was the pos
sibility that Mr.. Gromyko would
exercise the veto, if necessary, in
attempts to kill the Netherlands and
United States resolutions.
The well supported Australian
motion was presented as a pro-
cedural matter, not subject to veto
II adopted it would open the way
for discussion of the Russian de-
mand for reports by the United
Nations on the dispositions of Allied
troops and air and sea bases in
foreign non-enemy countries as OF
last August l.
The tentative American proposal
outlined by Mr.. johnson during de-
bate in the past week, was regarded
as not in conflict with the Austral-
ian motion. Rather, the American
proposal could serve as a starting
point whenever the case might be
revived or as a device to hand the
issue Immediately to a subcommit-
tee or commission while the Council
itself proceeded to the next bushes,
