The Firing Line
 By D. N. T.

"They (housewives) will find themselves using the recipes-or their old favorites-With confidence and ease".-F'rom a review of "HoWs and Why's of Cooking" by Evelyn G. Halliday and Isabel T. Nobel in the New York Times Book Review.

I can almost hear them mutter That whoever thought THIS up Was a terror on the butter. Pinch of soda? Make it two. Add a little nutmeg to 1t, Though it isn't called for, true. Walnuts, Peanuts ought to do 1t. Put the recipes in books,

 Now we understand what inf1a- tion is. It is the process of increas- ing the price of butter by II cents a pound, bringing 1t up about 6l cents a pound, as compared to get ting up the price of butter under more rigid control, which was roughly, a dollar a pound in tht black market or when made of quart of heavy cream at home.

/ Statement Was Distortion
Of American Proposal
BY the Assoeioted Press


LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Oct. a.
The United Nations Atomic En-
Iergy Commission today plunges
back into the task of setting up
world control of the atom bomb
The commissions No. 2 (PoliticaD
Committee was called into session to
receive the much discussed report OF
a group of international scientists
who found that technically atomic
energy can be controlled for peace
full purposes and put the issue Of
constructive use up to the world s
politicians.
This report finally emerged from
the Scientific Committee last week
after 18 long sessions and a three
week wait before the Soviet delegate
obtained approval from Moscow.
Baruch Makes Protest.
Delegates generally looked to the
United States or Russia, which still
stand far apart on the question of
control methods and inspections, to
make the opening move after the
report is read.
On the eve of the meeting, United
States Delegate Bernard M. Baruch
protested vigorously against what he
charged was "misinformation or
complete distortion" of the United
States atomic plan by the recent
Chicago CIO-PAC meeting. Mr.
Baruch said he had sent the follow
ing telegram to Harold L. 1skes, for
mer Secretary of the Interior; Henry
Morgenthau, former Secretary OF
the Treasury, and Philip Murray
CIO president:
Newspaper reports carried the
following statement coming from
Chicago that the conference, refer
ring to the American atomic energy
proposal, declared: =
"'It requires that other nations
accept binding agreement not to
conduct research into the military
uses of atomic energy and to dis
close their uranium and thorium
resources, while the United States
retains its technical knowledge and
engineering freedom, until the in
ternational system is working to our
satisfaction
Ickes' Reply Received.
II say without reservation that
this is either misinformation or
complete distortion. Nowhere does
any such statement occur in the
American proposal. I am sending
this to you in order that you may
see that this is corrected immedi-
ately."
The three addresses attended the
Chicago conference and Mr.. Ba-
ruch said Mr.. Ickes had replied
that 'his (Mr. 1ckes) own attitude
is wholly in support of the Amer
ican proposals"

Third Review of Dairy Prices
By DecontroI Board Due Today
OPA Increases Ceilings on Chocolate, Paints
New Restaurant Charges Expected Soon

as new supplies are received at the
higher prices.
OPA said the increase resulted
chiefly from a 5.85-cent-a-pound
rise in the import ceiling for raw
cocoa beans which resulted from
rising world prices.
Under an agreement worked out
at closed conferences between
spokesmen for the restaurant indus
try and OPA. the latter was desig-
mated to announce how much meat
meals will be increased.
After meat was returned to price
control last month, OPA tried to
roll back the ceilings on all meat
meals to those of last June SO, but
this produced storm Of protest
| from restaurantmen.
The newest price increases an
nounced by OPA are on eight kinds
of paints and on fabrics made from
wool or rayon mixed with cotton.
.OPA said the higher paint CELL
ings, laid to increases in the cost OF
Ilinseed oil, would run 4 to II cents
| q gallon more for manufacturer
| with resellers passing on the in
icrcases, plus usual profits.
The agency said the fabric In.
lcreases will average about ! to !;

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 2.-There are
plenty of cattle on the ranges, and
the animals are coming to market
in increasing volume, Union Stock
yard officials here and ranchers from
the West report.
But, Government officials in
Washington who are counting on
this run of range-fed cattle to ease
the meat shortage this fall and
winter may be in for a disappoint-
ment, cattlemen warn.
The great bulk of cattle is head
ing for feed lots. to remain for fat
tening anywhere from six months
to year, experts estimate.
Cattlemen laugh at charges from
some quarters that farmers are stag
ing a sit-down strike and refusing
to market the animals. They say
it is simply that the Nations mar
ketable cattle were slaughtered dur
ing the period of uncontrolled prices
in July and August.
Accordingly, the range cattle are
needed to fill up depleted feed lots.
And a record breaking corn crop
about to be heravested, there is
added incentive to bid for this
cattle.
Ranchers concede they are getting
just about the best prices for their
cattle they have ever received. One
hard-bitten rancher from Wyoming,
complete with cowboy boots and 10
gallon hat, observed yesterday:

now"

from Northern Wyoming, comment

clared: They're 1000 per cent

He said that while he was receiv-

The International Monetary
Fund today granted membership
to Italy. Turkey, Syria and Leb-
anon after a spirited battle by
Yugoslavia against admitting
her wartime foes, the Italians.
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder,
chairman of the funds Board of
Governors, announced the result of

said Yugoslavia cast the sole op-
posing vote to Italy. The other

mously.

lation, meanwhile, over the next

able that London will be the 1947
