Meot Shortage
 Threots Stirring

Cincinnati, O., Dec. 6 - (UP) - Meat packers fear that additional freight embsrgoes might leave them holding too much perishable stock and may result in a new meat shortage. an industry spokesman sai dtoday.
 A. 2. Baker, Cleveland. president of the American stock yards asso- ciation, told eastern cattle market representatives in convention here that if packers cant look ahead and be sure that they're going to be able to unload the meat in storage. I believe they'll shut down rather than run the risk of big spoilage"
 Ernest l.. German, Louisville, Ky, secretary of the association's east ern division, said that smaller packers in Ohio. Kentucky, and In- diana already were on the verge of shutdowns in spite of the fact that the meat industry is on the Govern ment's preferred list for coal.
 Baker said that assurance that meat can be moved by freight is es- sential to packers.

field of disarmament ana auomhc controls.
 In a LIN assembly subcommittee mapping the early steps toward universal disarmament and prohibi- ton of atomic weapons. Soviet For- eign Minister vyacheslav M. Molo- tov agreed readily to so along with the United States emphasis on channeling atomic energy into beneficial uses as well as banning its use for warlike purposes.
 The result was speedy agreement on most of the second part of the resolution by which the Assembly hopes to hand the LIN Security Council the most important direc- tive it has yet received-an order to begin assembly of the actual machinery for reducing the worlds arms and armies
 Molotov's agreement to write into the draft resolution a specific pro- vision for developing peaceful pur- poses" for the coslnic force was wel- comed by American representative as claF1fication of the Soviet ap- proach to international atomic de- velopment.
 While it did not represent Soviet acceptance of the American de- mand for a world atomic develop ment authority to control, supervise and even own some atomic energy facilities, the Soviet concession the third major concilatory move by Molotov in Q weeks discussion of dtsarmament-did make clear that Russia was agreeable to linking the subject of peaceful development to that of prohibition of military uses of atomic energy.
 Some delegates of the western countries had feared that Molotov would insist on confining the As- sembly's directive to recomnenda- tions for banning military applica- ton of atomic energy.
 Yesterday Molotov gave in quick " to this country's insistence that the Assembly resolution provide for international treaties on disarmament and atomic control rather than mere rulings by the il-nation UN secur- ity Council.
 Today. Molotov and Sen. Tom Connally, D.-Tex), emerged from a careful study of the disarmament proposals with agreement on this sentence. which will be in the sec ond paragraph of the resolution:
 "As an essential step towards the urgent objective of eliminating from national armaments and all other major weapons adaptable to mass destruction and the early establish ment of international control of atomic energy and other modern scientific discoveries and tech- nological developments to assure their use only for peaceful purpos- es. the General Assembly urges the expeditions fulfillment by the atomic energy commission of its terms of reference as set forth in section Of the general assembly resolution of Jan. i7. ie46."

With the freight embargo now in effect, industry in the Waterbury area must get along with raw materials now on hand or in hand, plus whatever can be shipped in by truck. Local factories were continuing operations as long as possible, though they must store products for future de- livery, except for that which can be shipped by truck. Continuance of the emgargo. resulting from the coal strike, for any great length ot time will mean cllrtailed working schedules and layoffs, industrial leaders have warned.
 Einployes of the Chase Brass a Copper Company, in letters from President Charles E. Hart, were told today that the company "has hopes of shipping an appreciable percent- age of its production" by truck. He said that all possible measures will be taken to continue operations as long as possible.
 Mir. Hart warned that the Chase Company's plans may partially or wholly be nullifled by conditions beyond our control. such as by cs1r- tail1nent Of railroad service and by the ability of our customers to con- tinue to receive material"

 Of Civil WorFors

Ranking, Dec. 6 = (upl-coua- munist China today rejected what was expected to be Gen. George O Marshalrs final offer to mediate between Chinese Nationalists and Communists and it was feared by responsible quarters that all-oul civil war in China is now virtually inevitable,
 It was believed that Marshall now will return Go the United states for consultation with Presi- dent Truman and Secretary oi State James r. Byrnes and c pos- slble complete reorientation oi American policy in China.
 Marshall, 1t was believed, would leave for the United States as soon as the National Assembly, which is meeting without Communist par. ticipation. completes the draft oi China's new constitution.
 The Communist reply to Marsh all's final mediation bid was dis patched from Communist head. quarters in Yenan by Chou En-laa chief Communist negotiator il Marshall's unsuccessful mediation attempt.
 Chou's reply said flatly tha' 'there exists no basis for negotia. tons between the two parties.e ?
 He added that the Communists would consider" new talks with the Nationalists if Gen. Chiane Kai-shek immediately dsssolves the National Assembly and orders Ma tionalist troops to return to the positions of last January.
 The two conditions were regard ed as flatly impossible. The As- sembly is in full swing and virtual ly has completed the task assigned to by Chiang of writing e new Chinese constitution. Since last January the Nationalist armies have taken over vast areas previ- ously held by the Communists and have unanswered into striking position for powerful blows against yenan and remaining Communist strongholds in Manchuria.
 It was widely believed by those close ot the Marshall negotiations that Chou's reply signalized the final split between the Nationalists and the Communists and that ever- widening civil war would follow.

New York, Dec. e.-(UP)--Oreek charges of foreign inspired guerrilla warfare within her borders today threatened Co enRrull Che United Na6ions in another East versus West eiareup over that MediseETanAan trouble spot.
 There were indications that Greek complaints against Yugoslavaa, Dul- garia end Albania would tonch off another round of Russian-backed counter charges aimed at oreecee monarchy and ak British troops sta- toned there.
 One informed American source described Greece as Q potential pow der keg, and as the key country in Britlsh- Soviet rivalry for s0. premacy in the Balkans.
 Greek Prime Minister Constantin TsAldarls opened ti1e latest chapter In nearly . year of controversy, by demanding an "on-the-spot" inves- tiwaeion of incidents occurring on oreeoes northern border. Bands og armed men from Ysagos1asiA, Al- bania and Bulgaria, he charged, have violated Greek territory in v1 ixstances.
 At the same time Greece fled with uN Secretary General Trygve Lie charges that the three border ing states had given "substantial support" to the guerrilla warfare plagutng Greece.
 The latest Greek blast was ex- pected to bring reiteration of Rals- sian charges that British troops in Greece constituted c threat to world peace. Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov aired these complaints last week before the LIN Political an Security Committee and was expcc- ted to review them again when the General Assembly debaes c troop census proposal this weekend.
 Tn January, iele Russia sought UN approval of Q resolution con. desnning Ukraine government oharEed taaat both British troops and the Greek monarchy were fo- menting unrest in the Middle East and threatened the peace. Both dee snands for UN action. however, were shelved after lengthy debate.
