Spanish Census Plans Stir
Talk Of Vote on Monarchy

MADRID. April 27.-An official
announcement that Spain planned
completion within two months of a
census of all males and females over

that referendum might be ordered

Truman and Hannegar
Meeting Stirs Talk
On Appointments
Supreme Court Post
And Other Vacancies
Likely to Be Topic
BY the A.socioted Press

QUANTICO, Va, April 27.-
President Truman today invited
Robert E. Hannegan to join him
aboard the Williamsburg to-
morrow, stirring speculation
that he may decide soon on Su-
preme Court and other vacancies
which he must fill.
The Postmaster General and
Democratic national chairman is
due at this Marine base tomorrow
morning for his first visit with the
President since March % when he
went to Phoenix, Ariz., to recuperate
after a number of dental eXtrac-
tions.
White House Press Secretary

has not discussed with his staff the
vacancy on the Supreme Court Gre

Mr.. Ross did not link Mr.. Han

there was every reason TO believe
the Chief Executive and the party
chairman would talk this over along
with other appointments.
The delay in the naming of a
three member economic council to
administer the recently enacted en-

3-Cents-a-QuartRise
In Cost Of Milk Seen
For D. T.. Consumers
Operators to Petition OPA
For One-Cent Boost on TOP
Of Producers Demands

The prospect of a 3-cents-a-
quart increase in the retail price
of milk faced Washington con-
sumers today.
This developed last night after a
spokesman for the industry here
confirmed reports that dairy opera
tors will petition the OPA for AT
least" 1-cent boost as a result OF
higher wages granted drivers.
A 2-cent increase already had
threatened as an outgrowth of pro-
ducers demands for a greater re-
turn.
The industry spokesman said
dairy operators either as a group or
separately would seek approval OF
the wage increase from the Wage
Sterilization Board and then, de-
pending on the results there, would
apply to the price agency for an
increase in milk prices.
Consumer to Be Hit.
"All dairies will have to have al
least l-cent increase in order to
stay in business" the official, who
asked that he remain anonymous
declared. Sooner or later the con-
sumner is going to be hit by a big
price increase" he added.
1t was pointed out that Washing.
ton dairies are operating under a
28-cents-a-h -hundredweight Govern
ment subsidy, which was reduced
last fall from 43 cents. Now, with
higher wage costs. operators are
finding it more difficult to break
even, he said.

in many instances the miners them

too, for there seemed much that

Australian 10 Leave
Security Council Due
To Illness Of Wife
Mexico Takes Lead on
Spanish Problem as
Hodgson Withdruws
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, April 27.-Col.
William R. Hodgson, Australian
delegate, announced today he
was withdrawing from the
United Nations Security Council
because of the illness in Paris of
his wife and that his successor
at the council table would carry
on his policies without any
change.
Col. Hodgson, the prime mover for
unanimous solution of the Spanish
deadlock in the council and long a
proponent of full Recommendation on
every case before the council, said
he would leave by plane for Paris
Monday morning.
Col. Hodgson will be succeeded
by Paul Hasluck, counsellor in
charge of Australia's permanent
mission at the United Nations head
quarters. He will serve, as Col.
Hodgson has in the months the
council has been sitting here, as
the representative of the permanent
delegate, DR.. Herbert Evatt, Austria
liam foreign minister.
Will Meet Tomorrow.
The departure of Col. Hodeson
was not expected to change the
picture when the council convenes
at 3 pm. Monday to take up the
Spanish case which has deadlocked
the delegates.
While Col. Hodgson has frequently
called in council debate for the full
story OF every case, he was carving
out the instructions of his govern
inent and he made it clear this after
noon that Mr.. Hasluck would do the
same.
In a statement announcing his
departure, Col Hodgson said the
lranlan and Spanish questions had
delayed his return to his i'll wife
Mrs. Mural Hodgson.
"As the course of action regarding
both these questions now appears
reasonably clear my government has
agreed to my leaving for Paris on
Monday morning" he said.
Mexico Takes Lead,
The Australians announcement
was made as Mexico took the lead
in seeking solution of the Spanish
crisis in the council-but every move
ran against the stern Russian on.
position to any investigation OF
Franco Spain.
The Council has shelved the

with Russia on record as boycot-
ting any further discussion of that
matter. In the Spanish case, Col
Hodgson has proposed that a SUBJ
committee of five members of the
Council study the evidence submit

sires and report back to the Council

desires to take.

me that everyone will do all thai
