The Combined Food Board may
be unable to reach agreement on
ALLEGATIONS of grains for famine
stricken countries as a result OF
a deadlock in its Cereals and
Rice Committees, a spokesman
for the board disclosed today.
Failure to work out ALLEGATIONS
would result in exporting countries
going their own way in shipping
foodstuffs to needy countries, he
said.
The board spokesman said dis
agreement resulted from a wide dis
crepancy between supply of grain
and the demand, and that to date
committee members have not been
able to work out ALLEGATIONS.
None Willing to Take Cut.
mo one is willing to see his share
cut down in order to bring about
equitable distribution" the spokes-
man explained. The full board can
make no ALLEGATION recommenda-
tions until all differences of opinion
have been reconciled by the working
committees. He added: THE board
is powerless if nations don't agree"
In addition, the board, which was
brought into being during the war,
is without power to enforce recon-
mendatior1 it makes to exporting
countries.
Regardless Of what disposition is
made OF the grain to be supplied by
the United States, Canada, Argen-
tina and to lesser degree, by Aus
tralia, many persons will starve in
the next few months, according to
one food official.
Knotty Problem.
Committees have been working
for days on how to distribute an
estimated 10000, 900 tons of food
stuffs to countries that have placed
requests with the board totaling
81 ,000, 900 tons.
On the Food Board are the United
States, Canada and Great Britain.
The rice committee Is composed of
representatives Of these three coun-
tries, Cuba, the Netherlands, China,
France, Brazil and a special repre-
sentative from UNRRA. The
cereals committee Is made up of
Australia, Argentina, France, Bel
GUM, Netherlands, Norway, Den
mark, United States, Canada, Great
Britain and an agent for UNRRA.
The full board met last Thursday
and adjourned after instructing the
two committees to work out further
details Of ALLEGATIONS and to report
bek as soon as possible.
1t had been forecast that agree
ment would be reached over the
week end.
Russian Shipment Reported.
One factor complicating board ac-
tion has been the reported ship
ment by Russia of 100000 tons of
grain to France. Ofiicials are salts
fed the reports are accurate and
accordingly can reduce Frances
ALLEGATIONS by that amount, thus
making additional tonnage avail
able for other claimants.
Another question has been a plan
ned reduction in the diet of Ger
mans, a decision to be made by AL
lied authorities in Berlin. A cut to
a diet of 1000 calories a day would
make more foodstuffs available else
where.
Churches and religious groups
throughout the city yesterday gave
up a meal or reduced the food con-
sumed so they could contribute the
savings to the needy in Europe. The
voluntary reduction was in response
to President Truman's call for q

Conn. Labor For
 Extension Of O.P.A.

Assailing the National Association of Manufacturers for its demand upon Congress that all price control end by June, Joseph M. Rourke, secretary treasurer of the Connecticut Fedora tion of Labor, speaking before the Norwa1k Central Labor Union at Hatters' Hall last week, placed or ganized labor firmly on record for the extension of price and rent control "until supply approximates demand"
 Charging that the manufacturers group during the past 50 years had been a bulwark of reaction, Rourke said it had opposed every effeort on the part of the working people to ob- tain beneficial legislation. The N. A.. M. fought all child labor bills, op- posed unemployment insurance and other social security bills and the Ma tional Labor Relations Act. It even opposed the eight hour day, calling it vicious, needless, preposterous.'
 Rourke declared that many progres- sive industria1ists of the type of Henry J. Kaiser are repelled by the tactics of the N. A. M. and are an- nouncing that "the extremists in con trol of that organization do not repre- sent their viewpoint" !"

Butter? Certainly,
 Why Not RatiOn H?

CHICACO-(FP)-Believe it or not, ChicagOans want to pay more for butter!
 You have the word for it of the American Butter Institute which con. ducted survey-withou any pointed questions, of course-and found every. body panting for an increase in the price of butter.
 Here's the Rub
 Exposing the anti-OPA campaign being carried on here, Rod Holm gren, commentator on WCFL, AFT radio station, had this to say abou the survey:
 ''The Butter Institute got the nOtOriOusly anti-labOr publishing outfit, Reuben H. DOnnelley Corp to conduct the poll. The most inn pOrtant thing about the poll, ot course, is that it failed to ask tho people if they would like to have rationing of butter resumed, so tha the available supply would be dis tributed more fairly"

Labor, Vets Join Uproar On Army Rank Privileges
Truman Urged To Act By Labor, AVG, VFW,
 AMVETS

WASHINGTON LPA) = State bonuses for vets, gyp schools, dis crimination against enlisted men in government jobs, and the Army policy of giving terminal pay only to officers are occupying the atten- ton of veterans and labor groups.
 New York state joined Massachu- sets, Vermont and New Hampshire in enacting veterans bonus legislation. The New York bill, passed without a dissenting vote, calls for constitu- tional amendment providing the states 100000 ex-servicemen with bonuses ranging from $50 to $250, totalling $400, 100000 payable in 1o48 providing the measure is approved in a state wide referendum.
 MASS. OKAYS BONUS
 Massachusetts has okayed a $100 bonus for veterans; Vermont, in 1042, approved payment of $10 for each month in service to maximum of $120; and New Hampshire voted al- most the same legislation with $100 top. After World War I, 21 states passed bonus legislation.
 In Washington the Civil Service Commission which has control over 1,25O, ,OOO jobs which will be filled next year drew a storm of angry protests from veterans and union groups over new application forms which may give officer ranks higher preference in job seeking. The ap- plication asks for the veterans rat ing at the time of discharge and unions were quick to join veterans organizations that claimed that mill itary rank would clearly give one applicant an advantage over a pri- vate, for example, who might nev- ertheless have equal qualifications. President Truman was urged by la- bor, by the VFW, AMVETS, the American Veterans Committee and other groups, to delete the ques- ton.

 The party intended to do hunting on Admiralty Island but instead the Campbell Church yacht which had been chartered for the hunting trip, received instructions to go to the Behm Canal area. The party re- turned to Ketchikan and was to go south from there yesterday via PAA plane.
 Besides Hearst Jr., other members of the group include: MT. and Mrs. Palmer Beaudette (the former Co., bina Wright Jr) of Los Angeles, and MT. and Mrs Richard Hanna, Jr., MT. and Mrs. Spencer Grant, and Larry Murphy, all Of San Francisco.

Foreign-Policy Makers
(New York Times)

The action of the International Longshoremen' s Association in refusing to load UNEIA supplies des- tined for Yugoslavia protest against the shooting down of United States flers last month sets pre- cedent with dangerous implications In effect Presi dent Joseph Ryan and his longshoremen have taken it into their hands to decide what our foreign policy shall be- They have arrogated to themselves international relief agency making the largest contribution to UNRRA of course but it is neverthe less international body.
 The matter is not question of whether should or should not continue to send supplies through UNRRA to Belgrade. It is whether a single group of unofficial persons in this country has the right to decide what action this country shall take in it's rela tions with another country. The fact that many will applaud this action without thinking does not make it right Certainly it is not in the democratic tra- dition. MT Ryan and the ongshoremen not elected representatives of the people They do not speak for the country They using the economic weapon of the strike-which is what their action amounts to for international political purposes.
 The ILA is in considerable part anti Communist. This factor probably played part in the decision well righteous anger against the killing of Am ercan flierS. But how would the who taking direct action in this instance like it if another group of longshoremen whose sympathies lay with the Communists and net against them, should decide that the United States should pull it's troops out of Korea and the Marines out of China and should refuse to handle any supplies for men there, imple mentation of that decision? Should such an action establishing that embargo only following the precedent that has been set by ILA.
 It will be bad day for all of when allow foreign relations to be directed by longShoremen any other group instead of by responsible Govern ment authorities

STATEHOOD REFERENDUM

sample of public opinion in Juneau indicates that Juneautes will vote against statehood for Alaska Tn next Tuesdays referendum ballot. However, such samples of the publics opinion often inaccurate While many Aaskans may be against statehood now, all Alaskans look forward to statehood and for that reason we believe that the Territory whole will endorse statehood Even those against statehood fear that if Alaska should go record against it this would be taken Outside endorsement of the present colonial system of government with which few in Alaska satisfied.
 A recent Gallup poll shows that 64 per cent of the people in the continental United States favor state hood for Alaska Another l2 per cent oppose such a move and 24 per cent are undecided the question
 President Truman has endorsed statehood for Alaska Secretary of the Interior Krug also is advocate.
 But regardless of whether or not the people of Alaska favor statehood the Congress of the United States will make the decision Various statehood bills have been introduced during the past few years and none has come anywhere close favorable considera tion
 The populous East already is jealous of advances made by the Western States during the war Alaska State could be expected to take sides with the Western bloc in Congress, which would make quite difference in the Senate.
 Hawaii, in referendum, endorsed statehood for that Territory many years ago with success Just how far Alaska's bid will go remains to be seen

The Third Infantry Division
(NeW York Times

When the Third Infantry Division arrived in the Port of New York it consisted of 367 enlisted and forty-six officers. This total a bit more than per cent of the divisions casualties, the wounded and the dead who fell under enemy fire from the North African beaches through Sicily, the Italian mainland and southern France to Germany. Most of those in the little group had been through eight campaigns and four amphibous landings and most of them are now in the Regular Army. The temporary soldiers, if they survived, are back in civilian life. For many of them the problem has changed from getting shelter from enemy fire to getting any shelter at all.
 Even if this division is deactivated its memory will endure Its divisional citations the honorable medals worn by it's soldiers of all ranks, it's battles won it's possibly unparalleled losses will stand forever in the records of the war. To the last breahs they draw, all who served with it will be proud men. Had the people of this city known the story of the Third Division the reception at the Stapeton pier might have been warmer than it But a parade and the freedom of the city would also have been inadequate. Neither medals cheers could do justice these veterans, each of whom carriers in his memory com rades who received medals, heard no cheers and will not return The Third Division has the silent homage of millions of Americans.

TRUMAN'S BLACK TIE

When members of the State De- partment's new National Commis- sion for Educational, Scientific and Cultural Cooperation met with President Truman last week, they shook hands and were carefully in- troduced, one at a time, by Assist ant Secretary of State Bill Benton.
 The handshaKing concluded, Ben ton explained that he had not in- tended to make individual intro ductiens, but that the President insisted. Then he added, MT. PreSi- dent, here is your group-all demo- cratically elected"
 Most delegates did not hear the President say under his breath:
 With a big D or little d. Bill?"
 In normal voice Truman then eX- plained that he had requested the individual intrc,luteionS because, I've got to keep my handshaking arm Tn trim in an election year. l especially like to give it a workout on bipartisan group"
 The President told the group he thinks it's contribution to world peace can be as great as that of any other agency in the world. He concluded his remarks by saying what he most desires is peace in the world and unity at home
 The Chief Executive, who ordin- arily goes in for colorful haber- dashery, was wearing a solemn black tie As he finished his plea for domestic unity, a loud whisper came from the group of educators.

 Yes replied Hannegan
 Note-Mayor Kelly of Chicago, Ed Flynn of the Bronx, and Gov Bob Kerr of Oklahoma were the hottest on the meat situation dur ing the closed-door meeting. Kelly said he didn't care who was respon- sible but he knew the Democrats were going to lose a lot of votes if someone didn't do something about the meat situation in hurry. Gov ernor Kerr favored dropping meat controls until after the election while Flynn agreed with Mayor Kelly.
