he would discuss the effect of the

The amendment, which was pre-

unanimously, is as follows:
Nothing in this act or any other

PoIond's SimpIified
Proposal Is Expected by
Commission Tuesdoy
- the Associated rress

NEW YORK, June 22.-Poland
was reported today to be pre-
pairing proposals for world
atomic control which were de-
scribed by spokesman as q
sensationally simple basis for
agreement in place of the op-
posed American and Russian
programs.
There were indications also, but
without confirmation, that France
would put forward an atomic plan,
and Australia was reported prepar-
ing proposed notifications for the
American program.
The French delegate to the United
Nations Atomic Energy Commission,
Alexandra Parodi, conferred yester-
day with Bernard M. Baruch who
last week offered an outline of the
conditions under which the United
States would be willing to yield her
atomic monopoly to an international
control pool.
Details Kept Secret.
The Polish proposals will be laid
before the third session OF the
Atomic Commission by Polish Dele
gate Oscar Lange next Tuesday
afternoon along with the others. A
spokesman close to DR.. Lange re-
fused to disclose details, but said
the Polish plan would be so simple
that the commission members would
be hard put to find it unacceptable
in principle. '@.
The basis of the Polish scheme
was expected to be the pronounce
ment made before the General
Assembly in London last January "a
by Zygmunt Modzelewski, Polish
undersecretary of foreign affairs

Supply Of Meat
Falls 90% Here
To Hit New Low
Neither Beef Nor Pork
Available as End
Of Ceilings Is Awaited

Washington's meat supply hit
an "all-time low" today in the
estimation of food experts-a
situation reflected from coast to
coast as slaughtering fell off to
a shadow of its former self.
Joseph B. Danzansky, attorney
for the wholesale food division of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, estimated the District
was receiving only or 10 per cent
of its normal supply of meat.
Hit hard for many months, butch.
ers here had next to nothing to
display. Fresh pork and beef were
virtually unobtainable and any
lamb available was sold soon after
morning deliveries.
Price Control Removal Awaited.
Like the Nation, Washington was
awaiting June 30-eyed by stock
raisers as the day price ceilings
may be removed. Whether or not
the ceilings go off, more meat will
be sent to the packing houses after
July /, but the meat industry is
pulling for an unrestricted market.
While producers have held up
cattle and hogs awaiting the poten-
tial higher market, the black mar
ket has also hit an "all-time low"
Mr.. Danzansky said. In Washing
ton illegal practices are 'infinites-
imal,' he added.
Even the racketeers have been
driven from the markets by the
prospects of lifting price ceilings
he said. They know they cannot
outbid legitimate buyers in open
competition.
That is why the trade is 50
anxious to do away with ceilings.
As to the possibility of soaring
prices, they might zoom for a week
or two after the ceilings were lifted,
but then would level off,"
On top of the meat shortage, the
District was faced with the prospects
of less poultry. This was ascer-
tanned by an unusual movement Of
fowl from storage to consumer. At
this time of year the market usually
depends on current production from
Delmarva Peninsula farms. Less
poultry is being produced because
OF the grain shortage, Mr.. Danzan-
sky said.
Economic Stabilizer Bowles agreed
the meat bottleneck will be broken
in July regardless of Once of Price
Administrations fate.
IF ceilings arestaken away, prices
are bound to be substantially
higher" he said. IF they are kept
on. you'll get meat at ceiling prices.
But IN either case, you'll get moro
meat"
November Pinch Expected.
But Mr.. Bowles agreed with the
meat industry experts that by No.
vember or December, another pinch
will be felt. That is because of the
tight grain situation, which means
less feed for livestock. Mr.. Dam
zansky pointed out the Nation
would depend largely on range fed
cattle.
The individual consumer can ex-
pect l35 to 140 pounds of meat this
year as against demand for about
l65 pounds, Mr.. Bowles said.
Only a trickle of supplies have
left the Nations leading meat CEN

Since Monday Chicago packers have

ment was construed, the District
Rent Control Administration was
considered to be an agency Of the
Federal Government or of the Dis
trict government.
He said that in view of the broad
language of the amendment way
might be opened for litigation to
have the courts decide the question.
"The language of the amend
ment seems to be so broad as to
raise some doubt about how the
Rent Control Administration would
be affected, if some one wanted
to make a contest in the courts, y
he said.
Rent control in the District is
administered independently of the
Office OF Price Administration, and
is based ON an act expiring Decem-
ber 81, this year.
A bill to extend the act for one
year from that date has been con-
sidered by both the House ano

passed unanimously by the Senate
last Wednesday.
The bill, reported favorably by

$4,000, Expansion
For Public Library
Proposed in Plan
6-Yeor Program Also
Coils for $4,356,70
To Develop Recreation
Fourth of a Series.)
By John W. Thompson, Jr.

A 6-year expansion program
for the Public Library, envision-
ing construction of a $4,000, ,00C
second unit of the new Central
Library and eight new branch
buildings, was made public today
by Engineer Commissioner Cor
don R. Young. Total construc-
ton costs would exceed $4,000
600.
Details of the library develop
ment program followed disclosure
yesterday of a $4,356,700 plan for
additional public recreation facili-
ties during the next six years.
Both the library and recreation
plans are part of the larger $780,
000, 900 master 6-year program for
all District departments and serv-
ices developed by Brig. Gen. Young
during the last four months. His
recommendations are to be studied
during the summer by q joint citi-
zen-oficial committee and whipped
into shape for final submission to
Congress at its next session.

The Engineer Commissioner point
ed out that the first unit of the new
Central Library was completed
early in the war years but was i'm
mediately taken over by the Fed

The new wing recommended in the
program would cost 100000 and
would be the largest of those
planned. However, Gen. Young
was not sure when and whether
the other two proposed units would
be needed.

Central Library specified that i,
should also house the Offices of the
Board of Education, an arrange

cation is urgently needed some

house it in the ultimate Central

-" which would mean a complete
revision of the chief librarians fu-

must build it elsewhere, which will
require a prompt request to Con-
gress for release from our existing
