Il Organizations Join
Drive for Rationing Of
Cereals, Fats and Oils
BY the Assoeiated Press


ATLANTIC sC1TV. M.sJ,.; Mar.
22.-An array of politically powerful
national organizations gathered to-
day behind a drive to force the
United States to ration cereals, fats
and oils which are desperately
needed elsewhere"
simultaneously they called for
care of political refugees without
requiring the consent of their gov
ernments," and urged immediate
creation Of new international or
ganization to care for them until
they can find new homes.
A total OF 81 organizations signed
the statement-among them the Ma
tional Grange, the Veterans OF For
= eign Wars, the Community Service
Committee Of the CIO and the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's Clubs.
Representatives of the organizations
are here at the invitation of the
State Department to observe activ-
tiles at the UNRRA Council meet
ing. ,,.... ..----....
UNRRA decided today to enlarge
its central committee from six to
nine members, adding Brazil, Aus
tralia and Yugoslavia.
La Guardia Nominated.
Fiorello La Guardia, former New
York Mayor, was nominated yester-
day by the central committee, which
directs UNRRA policy, to succeed
Director General Herbert Lehman.
who is retiring.
No vote will be taken on Mr..
La Guardia's name until the end
of the .UNRRA meeting, now sched-
uled for late next week, but nomi-
nation by the central committee
is considered tantamount to elec-
ton.
In their statement, the observers
for the organization declared Presi-
dent Truman's emergency famine
program was insufficient to cope
with the immediate threat of wide
spread famine and inadequate
to fulfill Americas moral obliga-
tion and responsibilities as a world
leader.
I'VE therefore urge that the
United States Government set aside
at the source greater amounts of
those goods required for overseas
relief, rationing at once in this
country food such as cereals, fats
and oils which are desperately need
ed elsewhere"
Want Assurance of Care.
Then the organizations added:
'The several hundred thousand
displaced persons who are likely to
be residual inhabitants of camps
this summer should be assured the
full care and services Of UNRRA-
without requiring the consent of
their governments-while awaiting
the opportunity for permanent re-
settlement.
Furthermore, in view of the un-
certain duration of UNRRA, we urge
that international responsibility for
displaced persons be continued
through some appropriate interna-
tional agency designated to find a.
satisfactory solution as quickly as
possible"
The organizations demand came
less than 48 hours after Director
General Lehman appealed to the
At member nations Of UNRRA for
return to stringent wartime food
control-including rationing of COM
modities in short supply.
1t came, too, on the eve of a new
fight within UNRRA's council on
the question of forcing displaced
nationals to return to their home
lands. II I'D

ordered into the Pittsburgh area
today by Gov. Edward Martin
to protect supervisory workers

)eered and booed, prevented at least

Company spokesmen said the pay
boost amounted to 1917 cents an
hour, but union leaders asserted the
increase actually amounted to only
about o. cents an hour.
The Governor said he ordered the
State police into the heavily popu-
lated Industrial area-headquarters

strike-after receiving a telegraphed
request for aid from Allegheny
County Sheriff Walter C. Monag-
han.
Must Respect Court Orders.

from Common Pleas Judge Walter
P. Smart to see that any person de-
string to enter the piant gains ad-
mittance without hindrance. Pre-
viously, the jurist had issued an

zation of the State policemen.

demand that WestinghiA6e accept q
CIO proposal permitting super
visory workers to return to the plant
If the company would not try to
use the supervisory and salaried en-
ployes to take our jobs or break our
strike"
50 Deputies Assigned.
Approximately 80 deputies were
assigned to the plant by the sheriff
after Westinghouse officials COM
planned the union was not obeying
the mass picketing ban.
Wearing yellow arm bands and
aided by union leaders the deputies
quelled the brief disorder and
pushed a crowd estimated at 1000
back to the sidewalks.
Sheriff Monaghan said he saw
no trouble at all, and declared no
body asked us to be taken into the
plant"
The company said about TOO su-
pervisory employees had been in
structed to report yesterday-but no
one was reported to have passed
pickets walking heel to toe around
the plant.

Shelton Is Ordered
Returned 10 Richmond

j. Paul Shelton, %, Arlington au-
tomobile salesman who escaped
from custody of United States mar
shals in Richmond October "a, 1945,
will be returned from New York to
Richmond to answer a charge of vio-
lation of the National Escape Act,
the Associated Press reported today.
United States Commissioner Isaac
Platt, who ordered the removal, fixed
bail at $4,000. Shelton walked out
of the Federal building at Richmond
where he was waiting for bail to be
fixed on District of Columbia auto
theft charge when United States
marshals left him alone in room.
He remained free until New York
detectives arrested him last Janu-
airy 7.
Assistant United States Attorney
Gerald v. Clarke asked $25 900 bail
but Commissioner Platt fixed the
lower figure when Shelton, arguing
his own case, obtained an admission
from Deputy United States Mar
shall Harold Hammer that the de-
fendant did not use violence when
he escaped.
Mr.. Clarke permitted Shelton to
be released on his own recognizance
on charges that he had violated
the postal laws in New York and
the National Motor Vehicle Theft
Act in the District. Shelton had
been held in $4,000 and $4,000 bail,
respectively, on these two charges.
Last September, Shelton was ac-
quilted by an Alexandria, Va, jury
of charges that he kidnapped teen
aged girl to shield his escape after
