THREAT IS NOW SEEN
 IN STRIKE
Government Wage, Price Sidbi|izdtion Involved
 in Present Crisis

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.--Some federal labor officials are frank ly worried that the AFL maritime strike may shatter what remains of government wage and price sta- bilization.
 This is the toughest kind of strike we have had" one high of- ficial told a reporter
 The official, who asked that he not be quoted by name, pointed out that the walkout is directed at an adverse decision of the Wage Stabilization Board and not against the employers who pleaded along with the unions for approval of a higher wage increase than the Board was willing to authorize.
 The view of some officials is that if the Boards decisions are to be cverruled by strikes, then wage stabilization is gone and with it perhaps price stabilization.

PORK,
 BEEF SUPPLIES
 DWINDLING NOW
(BY THE ASSOCIATED pREss)

A week of the lowest livestock receipts on record left pork and beef eaters throughout the nation today with glum prospects of ob- taining anything like the supplies they desire after next week.
 Some meat men observed there would not even be lunch meats available in retail channels. Pack ing plants began laying off work CTS or closing down entirely this week. It was expected many butcher shops might do likewise in weeks to come for lack of any thing to sell.
 Traders said the slim meat anil nal receipts resulted either be- cause producers had cleaned out their supply at the high prices pre- vailing during the lapse of OPA ceilings in July and August, or else were refusing to market at the new ceiling levels.
 The sharp drop in livestock trad ing came as the Office of Price Administration announced in Washington new retail ceilings fol most meats would be increased about 3A -cents a pound above the June ceilings, yet below current con sumer prices.
 The ceilings are to go into effect Tuesday.

TOK 70, Sept. 6. A Soviet spokesman charged today that Gen. eral MacArthur had refused ships for the repatriation of Japanese nationals from the Port Arthur area and from North Korea.

 U. s. Ambassador George C. Atcheson, Jr.. retorted, a few hours later that Soviet refusal to in clude prisoners of war among re- patrlptes broke down negotiations.
 He said Gen Kuzna Derevyanko, Soylet member of the Allied Coun- cil. made it known he was not authorized to discuss the repatria- tion of any but Japanese civilians ~. he did not wish to proceed with the discussion of the remain ing repatriation problems as a whole, involving the hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners of war in Soviet hands.
 Tt was made known to the So- viet member that we had shipping readily available to effect the re- patriation."

WARNING GIVEN BY
 BRITAIN
Will Withdraw from Big Four Agreem ent on
 Trieste Unless Changed

PARIS, Sept. 6.-Great Britain warned the peace conference today that she would withdraw from the Big Four agreement on division of Giulia if Trieste is not given a genuine international status as a free territory.
 Charging tlla- vIgoslavla is claiming "a very special position in the administration of the dis puted Adriatic port, British delegate Hector McNeil said Britain would reconsider the whole agreement if Trieste's independence is inn paired
 France, toe, i.iled up with Britain in opposing Yugoslav claims to domination of Trieste, though in less unequivocal language
 Maurice Couve De Murville, the French delegate, said his nation would insist on a free territory as the core of the whole situation"
 McNeil warned that well honor our bargain but if the statute is so changed as to impair the con- ception of free territory we will have to reconsider our whole agree ment."
 This was the first notice that any of the four-power foreign min- isters council might not stand by their accords hammered out in Il months of negotiations.
 Soviet Foreign Minister V. M Molotov has insisted again and again throughout the five-week peace conference that the four pow CTS resist unanimously any attempt to change agreed sections of the treaty drafts and the council re- affirmed this solidarity again last week. Only yesterday the Soviet deputy Andrei Vishinsky supported the Trieste agreement although he said it was minimum" of justice for Yugoslavia.

Byrnes Makes Important YSpeeCh-Hifs at Bofh
 Russia and France

STUTTGART, Germany, Sept. 6. In an American statement of policy. Secretary of State Byrnes today called for new Germany governed by the Germans them selves and including not only the Rhineland and Ruhr but probably also territory beyond the Oder river "provisionally" assigned to Po- land.
 Recovery in Europe will be slow indeed if Germany is turned into a poor house." Byrnes told German officials and American military leaders at the tank-guarded Staats Theater. The speech was broadcast in German over all stations in the U. S.. British and French zones of occupation, but no arrangements had been completed to send it over the Russian stations.
 For UnificatiOn
 Byrnes' prepared text outlined a broad plan for eventual unification of the Germans under a national council charged with drafting federal constitution for a United States of Germany
 Byrnes' original text, distributed last night in Germany and at Washington, spoke of this constitu- tion as being for United States of Germany" but Byrnes later eliminated this phrase from the text and omitted it in delivery.
 The speech drew praise from the three presidents of states in the American zone, who were the principal German officials pre- sent. They expressed hope, however, that Germany would not lose the Saar-to which, Byrnes said, France had right.
 lIn Paris French officials ex- pressed disappointment at Byrnes' stand on leaving the Ruhr and Rhineland as part of Germany. There was possibility Gen. Charles De Gaulle would reaffirm the French attitude in speech Sunday)
 Intentions of U. s.
 Byrnes made plain the intention of the United States to continue indefinitely her interest in Euro- pean affairs and emphasized that security forces probably will have to remain in Germany for long period"

(BY THE ASSOCIATED pREss)

The greatest maritsme strike in history spread through the nations coastal ports today, freezing the port of New York. the country's busiest harbor into complete par alysis." the U. s. Maritime Con- mission announced and practically all ports everywhere.
 The Commissions statement came about three hours after the striking AFL Seafarers International Union and the Sailors Union of the Paci- fife established picket lines along the extensive waterfront.
 The Commission listed 344 vessels of all nations tied up in New York by the strike This varied with a union claim that 534 craft of all types were stranded in New York and 2,534 on three coasts.
 A Commission survey said 705 ships of all flags were immobilized in ports from Portland, Me, to Savannah, Ga. Of these, the Con- mission said 548 were American and l57 were of foreign registry.
 Spokesmen for the striking AFL Seafarers International Union and the Sailors Union of the Pacific in New York said 534 ships were tied up at New York, $50 in other Att lantic coast ports, 450 in Gulf ports and l,200 in West Coast ports.
 International Ticrp
 A possibility of an international tieup was hinted in bulletin issu- ed from strike headquarters in New York. It said expressions of support had been received from "all over the world" including Bri- tish, Danish, Swedish, Morse and Greek seamen.
 An estimated 9o.00O sailors packed their gear and walked off ships yesterday to protest Wage Stabil- izaticn Board order denying them a full wage increase won ill recent contract negotiations.

 Tn telegrams to heads of the two Maritime Unions involved in the strike, Vice Admiral w. w. Smith. Chairman of the Commission, said:
 Tn view of the world wide shor- tage of food, we request your union to give immediate assurance that provisions will be made for such operation as may be necessary to protect valuable refrigerated food stuffs which would have to be re- placed from civilian stores already critically short.
 Various sources, mostly union. reported more than 500 vessels were tied up at U. S. ports.
 100000 Workers Out <, Nearly 100000 workers. including dock employees, tugboat operators and CIO seamen, said they would honor picket lines.
