Meat Price Row MoyGo I o rumon
 Livestock CeiIinos
 Are Due Tomorrow;
 Officials Differ

Washington, Aug. 28 -UP)- A high government source said today the squabble between OPA and the Agriculture Department over live stock ceilings will be placed before President Truman if the agencies can't agree.
 This source said Reconversion Di- rector John R. Steelman is unWill- ing to take the responsibility for the decision.
 As a result, it was said, Steelman has decided to phone Mir Truman In Bermuda if it appears that he tSteelman) will be unable to get the two agencies to settle their diff 1erenceS by midnight tonight.
 Hope for Compromise
 There was strong feeling among officials at both agencies, however. that some compromise would be reached and that it would be un- necessary to take the issue to the President.
 The new livestock ceilings are scheduled to go into effect tomor- row. That will give the packers time to dispose of higher priced meat, purchased during the lapse in price control, before retail meat ceilings are clamped on Sept. g.
 OPA wants meat and livestock ceilings rolled back as near June 30 levels as possible The Agricul- ture Department thinks livestock prices should be a dollar or two over June 30 level to encourage pro- duction.
 Although Steelman was said to be reluctant to interrupt MT. Tru- mans vacation, he apparently felt the political implications of the de- clsion were too weighty to decide without a presidential okay.
 OPA Administrator Paul Porter stated the case in New York yester- day Whe nhe said the current rush of livestock to market before ceil- lngs can be reimposed will result in meat shortage this Fall. That would be about election time
 An Az griculture Department spokesman said he had letter from a foromer triple-A official now rais- ing hogs in Ohio saying any hog price less than s19 hundred pounds would be politically unpopular.
 The June 30 ceiling on hogs at Chicago was S1485 a hundred, while the top on cattle was SIS. The Agriculture Department has been thinking in terms of Sl6 to ST on hogs and Sl9 to S20 on cattle.

Appointment of Francis R. Gauvin, son of MT. and Mrs. R. J. Gauvin, 504 Hamilton Avenue, to first lieutenant in the Regular Army by President Truman has been announced by the War De- partment. He previously held the same rank under a temporary ap- pointment.
 Now stationed at Roswell Army Airfleld, Texas, Lieutenant Gau- vim has served over five years with the Army Air Foroces. He re- ceived his wings and was com missioned a second lieutenant in 1922 while stationed at Randolph Field, Texas. He is married to the former Irene Schmitt, who is now with him in Texas.

Car Shortaqe On Railroads Gets Critical
 More New Cars,
 Woter Troffic
 Ordered to Help

Washington, Aug. 28 - CUP)- Government agencies acted today to avert the threat of the worst transportation crisis in the nations history.
 The Civilian Production Adminis- tration took the initial step in inn plementing Reconversion Director John R. Steelman's emergency pro- gram to get 10000 more railroad cars rolling and to divert all pos sible freight to coastal and inter- coastal ships.
 CPA Administrator John D. Small appealed to the steel and lumber industries to speed flow of materials needed to complete 4O,- 900 new railroad cars by the end of the year, and said new steps were under study to expedite recondi- tioning of 80,000 idle cars awaiting repair.
 Holds Down Production
 Until we get more cars into service or more use out of the cars We now have, the country's poten- tial rate of output will be held down because of sluggish circulation of basic products and materials, |" Small said.
 Steelman said both domestic re- conversion and the foreign "eco- homie and political stabilisation" were in jeopardy when he ordered CPA, the Office of Defense Trans portation, the Maritime Commis- sion and five other agencies to join the assault on the tightening trans portation bottleneck.
 The other agencies were the War Shipping Administration, the Ma. tonal Housing Agency, the OPA, and the State and Agriculture De- partments.
 An ODT spokesman said the problem was simply that the rail- roads got "a 10-year beating dur ing the five war years' and the only permanent solution will be more rolling stock
 More Freight, Fewer Cars
 ODF said the railroads are carry Ing heavier loads than during the war, With car loadings running 9OO,- OOO per week. It estimated that without extraordinary measures" the Fall peak would find up to 75,- ooO cars backed up every week.
 Steelman said the railroads not only are handling more freight than before the war but are doing It With one-third fewer cars.
 inc peak, caused by stockpiling Of coal and other Winter commodi- ties and by crop harvests. comes in mld-Oetober when ODT estimates that the demand will be for 1.OoO.- ooo car loadings week,U. This is fo'ooo over the pest the railraods can now do.
 During the first two weeks of August, car loadings averaged 32.- ooo cars a week more than in the same l945 period. Tn the five weeks ending Aug. 10, the weekly average was soooOO a week, 138,OOO more than the same period last year.
 Embargoes Considered To meet the dilemma. Steelman asked the Maritime Commission and the War Shipping Administra- tlon 10 put more ships into dornes- JIG trade to absorb the all-tine | traffic load. '----e
 n necessary, ODT will use em- oargoes and licenses to speed diver sion of cargo from land to water borne carriers.

The other speaker at the youth

Hopkins University.
Mrs Thomas G. Garrison, presi-
dent of the National Council of
Catholic Women, told the group at
this gathering that although women
in social and<political life are doing
a much needed job, their primary
concern must be that of motherhood
and family life. She also asserted
that woman's job in the postwar
world should be to equip herself to
be mans companion and compile
ment rather than his competitor.
Decline in Birth Rate Noted.
The rapid decrease of births in
predominantly white countries is
attributed chiefly to the practice
of birth control, Thomas R. Kuczyn-
sky, demographer of the British
Colonial Office, London, told the
convention last night. He said ir
most countries the general tendency
was toward a lowering in numbers
of children in Well-to -do> groups
with the progeny increasing as the
families become less wealthy.
O. E. Baker of the University OF
Maryland predicted a balancing OF
births and deaths in the United
States in about IS to 80 years with
a rapidly accelerating decline in
population from then on, leaving
the country with IAN aging popu-
lation likely to be less vigorous, less
enterprising and less able to defend
itself"

Student Advocates
Family Subsidies at
Catholic Conference

Advocacy of Government allow
ances for large families seeking
proper housing was suggested today
by Thomas Lally, student at Loyola
College, Baltimore, at the youth ses-
sion of the 14th annual Catholic
Conference on Family Life at Cath
olic University.
The conference, sponsored by the
Family Life Bureau of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference, ends
with the afternoon session today.
The student pointed out that
large families are either not well
come under certain housing condi-
tions or find it difficult to occupy
economically. those places open to
them. He suggested that it is the
duty of the State to aid large fami-
lies by helping them financially
when confronted with such a situa-
tion.
Cites Other Nations Example.
Mr.. Lally also advocated wage
aids by the State so large family
groups could be properly MAIN
tanned. He cited the fact that prac-
tically all the large countries, in
cluding England and Canada. have
made such provisions, and said the
United States is the only important
nation to have failed so far to do SO.
The Loyola student also declared
that taxation should be imposed
with regard to the way it affects
large family groups. pointing out
that such essential items as food
should not be as heavily assessed as
luxury items.
7 Another student, Karl Schmitt of
Catholic University, said college stu
dents should select their courses
with a view to preparing themselves
for material success as we'll as for
cultural and spiritual background.
He declared one without the other
would not prove satisfactory in the
"workaday' world" of today.

Byrd, Taber Demand
u. 5. Personnel Cuts;
Cite Rise Since VI

Drastic personnel reductions In
war-swollen Government depart
ments were demanded yesterday by
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia
and Representative Taber, Repub-
lican, of New York.
Senator Byrd, chairman of the
Joint Committee on Reduction of
Non-essential Federal Expenditures,
said:
Much Of such reduction as is
taking place is to be found in the
shipyards and arsenals of the coun-
try. The industrial employers should
not be the only ones removed from
Federal payrolls. Thousands of en-
ployes who found desk jobs in the
Government as part of the war effort
should be included in drastic reduc-
tions as the war functions in both
war and peace time agencies are
curtailed and eliminated"
Increase Since VI Day.
The Senator said that "the peace
time departments and agencies ac-
tually had a net increase of more
than 1000 employees" in December,
1945.
"One can not help being alarmed
at the course of events since vi
day." Senator Byrd said. He added
that "the agencies are struggling to
find reasons for the continuance of
their supposedly temporary activi-
ties and in addition are anxious to
absorb functions and personnel of
other agencies which on the surface
are reported to be in the process OF
liquidation"
Senator Byrd gave a list of %
establishments that added employees
In December and furnished these
figures for increases in each group:
Veterans Administration, 6,224;
Post Office Department, 2,625; Re-
construction Finance Corp, 2,522;
Treasury Department, 881, and Fed
eral Works Agency, 851. Lesser in
creases were found in smaller
agencies. he said
Among 80 agencies that cut per-
sennel, the Senator listed these de-
creases for December: War De-
partment, 52,933; Commerce De-
partment, 6158; Navy Department,
1902; Office of Price Administra-
ton, 2.570; Labor Department, 2,07O:

Taber Cites Budget Message.
70 Toh -.
Republican on the House Appro-
priations Committee, declared:
THE most dangerous feature of the
Presidents budget which was sub
mitted here on January 81, is the
demand on the part of the various
bureaus and departments for in
creased help. Almost every single
>one of them carries a request for
more personnel"
: Advocating a balanced budget.
"if America is going to avoid the
throes Of inf1ation,' Representative
Taber declared: -
1T is true that we must have more
help in the Veterans Administra-
ton, but when the administration
proposes such increases as 4,239 man
Years in the Agricultural Depart
ment, 1852 in the Commerce De-
partment, 1896 in the Interior De-
partment, 1883 in the Post Office
Department with declining buSi-
ness, 1874 in the State Department
and $500 in the civil functions of
the War Department, it is a per-
fectly ridiculous set-up."
Representative Taber said that he
hopes Congress will cut out large
portion of this 1922 100000 increase
so we may begin to move toward
solvent Government and balanced
Federal budget for a change"
