 FISH CASE
 IN C0U !
Dismissal Refused in Suii of California Assn.
 Against Union

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 9 - Federal District Judge Michael J Roche today refused to dismiss an antitrust suit against the Inter- national Fishermen and Allied Workers of America and its Cali fornia locals.
 In denying the unions motion for dismissal, Judge Roche grant ed 20 days for filing an answer before placing the suit on the trial calendar
 The suit was brought last March by the California Fisheries Associ- ation, which alleged that it was forced to sign a contract to buy fish only from union members and that this violated the antitrust law
 The union, with headquarters in Seattle, sought dismissal on the grounds that it was a cooperative and therefore not in violation of the antitrust law.

BUYERS
 RESIST
 PRICES
Definite Move Shown Over Nation Especially oa
 Meat Products
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

The growth of definite buyer re- sistance to meat prices that have spurted to an extreme of Sl.50 a pound was shown today in heavy majority of the key cities covered in nation -blanketing survey.
 At the end of the first full week of uncontrolled meat prices, a spot check of 48 cities by the Associated Press produced a scoreboard that read like this:
 Red meat has come back in sharply improved to ample quan- titles on the counters of 39 com munities: in nine others-SiX of them in the east-meat is still scarce to non-existent.
 Prices nave risen everywhere, in a few cases hy as little or even less than the Federal subsidy that van ished with OPA control but in cne-third of the AS cities prices of $1 a pound more have been chalk ed up for choice cuts.
 Resistance to these prices has appeared in degrees ranging from beyond the muttering stage to ac- tive organized picketing in 34 of the survey cities; in others the piaint has risen that citizens had nothing to resist.
 In at least 10 cities this resist ance has either been effective in chopping down the topmost prices, or has given promise of doing so within few days.
 In 43 ol the 48 cities both soap and shortening were markedly scarce and in 39 of them toilet tis- sue was anything but readily ob- tainable.

By EARL BERKELEY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-Flood control and navigation programs slowed down to a walk today m the face of spending limits fixed by President Trumans economy or der.
 A newly authorized 100000 900 outlay for public works does not apply to waterway projects, off cials said.
 The flood control ceiling set a week ago stands at S130.000000 for the 12 months ending next June and the limitation on navigation projects remains at $90,000,000
 Officials made no promise that these allowances would be raised. They said only that water pro jects are being reviewed.
 Legislative proponents of such programs continued to agitate for sharp increase in the $220O00, : 900 ceiling, which is less than half the S5O0,o00,ooO appropriated by Congress.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Foreign Sec retaiy Ernest Bevin declared today that we must either have the Pot dam agreement observed as whole and in the order of those decisions or we must have new agreement.
 Opening two-day debate in the House of Commons on foreign policy, Bevin declared that an agreement on Germany is at once the touchstone of the relations among the four powers and our op- pcrtunity to build a lasting peace and security for the world
 He expressed almost complete agreement with U. s. Secretary of State Byrnes' announcements on the future of Germany i'll his Stuttgart speech and added that, equally, we welcome Marshal Sta lin's statement"

 WASHINGTON Goer- ing was depressed and sullen short ly before he cheated the Allied gallows. But when interviewed some time earlier by John Rogge and Justice Department officials on his attempts to sway American public opinion, he was frank and full of hraggadocio.
 Gladly would he have spent $150,OOO00O to defeat Roosevelt III 1940, Goering said During the same interview he boasted that he once considered having a sign hung i'll his office reading:
 "No business transacted here un- less the amount involved is more than $10000,000."
 The only thing Goering quibbleo about when he told Justice Depart ment agents of Nazi attempts tc defeat Roosevelt through John l. Lewis, was that he would not have paid as little as s3,00o,0O0 to dc the job.
 It was Lewis close friend, w. R Davis, then engaged in selling Mex ican oil to the German navy, who went to Berlin after the war start ed in 1889 and discussed the whole strategy with Goering.
 Davis talked to me about Johr l.. Lewis and that one ought tt reach an agreement with him, Goering told Justice Department

ENGINEERS, ,. OPERATORS,
 SIGNING UP
One Issue in Mdritim e | Strike Ended After 22-
 Ddy-0ld WaIkout

NEW YORK, Oct. g CIO Marine Engineers and East and Gulf Coast ship operators today signed a contract to settle their 22-day old maritime walkout but the strike of deck officers and li- censed ship personnel continued to bottle up virtually all American shipping. Signing of the contract between the ship operators and the Marine Engineers Beneficial Asso- ciation was announced by U. $. Conciliator Frederick Livingston af- ter 1872 hours of negotiations.
 But before the shipping tieup on the East and Gulf Coasts comes to an end the pact must be ratl- fled by both the union member ship and the A shipping com panies and representatives of az ents and operators.
 Also the ship operators and the other union involved in the strike AFL Masters, Mates and Pilots who adjourned a long negotiating session to 3:30 am. today-also must come to terms. Masters seek a 30 percent increase and closed shop.
 West Coast Strike Bound
 This would leave the West Coast still strikebound. The unions are to negotiate with West Coast ship ping interests after concluding talks with the East and Gulf Coast operators
 Arthur Coco, secretary of the En- gineers' strike committee, said 1t was expected that the unions na- tional membership of 18,0oo in 24 ports on three coasts will have voted on the question of ratifying the new contract by Thursday mor- ming Union voting will be held in New York tomorrow, he said.
 Recommendations
 E. P. Trainer, chairman of the Marine Engineers negotiation com mittee. who signed the contract for the union, said he would recom- mend to the general membership that they ratify the agreement
 Lawrence Kammet, MEBA pub lcity representative, since the AFL organization still was negotiating for a settlement, and the Engineers would continue to respect MMP picket lines.
 Terms of the contract were with held by Trainer and Frank J. Tay- Tor, president of the American Merchant Marine Institute, repre- senting the operators, pending mo- tification of the union membership and ship operating companies.

BY Forrington, Sports Boss

With a hat full Of problems and
head full Of ideas, Max Harrington
opened shop today as George Wash

mems activities, and the big OBJ
jective he is setting his sights on
is the building Of capacious field
house suitable for housing the
schools physical education program,
mems activities and major winter
indoor sports.
Only with such a building, he de-
clared, can the Colonials hope to
progress in sports and it was with
the understanding that the univer-
sity would attempt this project that
he undertook the vast, back-break-
ing task of restoring major sports
at the downtown school. Earring
ton said he had gone into the sports
set-ups Of more than 200 schools
during his service in the Navy's
Viz program and discovered that
G. w. presented the biggest head
ache OF all. But with an indoor
arena to work with the problem
can be licked, he said.
