By DORIS FLEESON.

Miss Frances Perkins pulse has
raced for labor ever since the day
when, fresh from college, she stood
upon a New York sidewalk and
watched girls her own age burn to
death in the Triangle shirtwaist
fire. And never during her II long
years as Secretary of Labor did she
permit the public to glance at the
emotions behind her stern New
England rampartS.
But Miss Perkins is human after
all. When she is asked these days
about the seeming inability of her
successor (male) and his aides
(male) to cope with labor disputes
she permits herself what can only
be described as a giggle. The men,
she comedies, also seem to find labor
peace a complicated task.
AS everybody knows, Miss Per-
kins was hoisted out of her job as
soon as decently possible by Presi-
dent Truman, who put his old SEN
ate colleague, Lewis Schwellenbach
in the post. Prior to that she had
hung up what was probably a rec
ord for congressional attacks, con-
sidering that no question ever was
raised about her motives or integ-
rlty. Congress said she couldn't

Her burdens lightened, she is en-
joying an Indian summer, and she
is constantly being offered that

She dresses well, as always, ir

bones. But mothers know best
she is back to the tricorne.
While she can't quite quench the
giggle, Miss Perkins is deeply SYM
pathetic with Mr.. Schwellenbacf
and the President in their labor
headaches.
Intelligent and experienced, she
foresaw the labor unrest that woulo
come with peace, and she is happy
to be spared the responsibility Mr.
Schwellenbach now shoulders. She
knows she would have been cruel.

Mrs. Sheldon Defends
Truant Office Service
As Hearings Conclude

Mrs. Alice G. Sheldon, attendance
department director of the public
schools, defended her record of serv-
ice as hearings were concluded last
night before the Complaints and
Appeals Committee of the Board of
Education on her protest against
lowering of her efficiency ratings for
the years ending June 80, 1943 and
1914.
The completed testimony will be
studied by the committee before its
recommendations are made to the
board for final action.
Complaint on School Census.
Dr. Carroll R. Reed, assistant su-
perintendent, complained last night
that her office had not provided
a complete school census annually
Mrs. Sheldon asserted, however, that
the $2,100 annual appropriation for
such reports is not sufficient to make
a complete census each year. She
added that she has never failed
to furnish a report requested by
officials and believed she had i'm
proved the system of census reports
since 1912.
DR.. Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant
superintendent in charge of colored
schools, also charged that Mrs. Shell
don had not been impartial in her
service as an examiner in grading
the paper of an applicant for job
as attedance officer in November
1912. Declaring he had reason to
believe she recognized the appli-
cants handwriting, he said Mrs.
Sheldon should have disqualified
herself.
Mrs. Sheldon said she had recog-
nized the handwriting, but that she
had previously stated her opposi-
ton to the candidate to both DR..
Wilkinson and Dr. Howard H. Long
and that neither had suggested that
she disqualify herself. She said she
had graded the paper on its merits.
Answering earlier criticism, Mrs.
Sheldon said she had been unaware
of any failure to cooperate with
any group concerned with her work
or that any such group had failed
to cooperate with her.
Regarding a suggestion that she
refer more cases to the Juvenile
Court and spend more time enforc-
ing the truancy law rather than en-
phasizing social welfare" Mrs.
Sheldon replied that court action
should generally be the "last resort. "
She hopes to learn the reason for
truancy and adjust them if pos
sible, she declared
Although discussion of her policy
on truancy had arisen, she said, she
was not instructed to change it after
she had presented her views.

handle labor" and said 1t often,
personally and impolitely.
Miss Perkins is comfortably en-
sconced to watch the passing show
She has just bought a house on
Leroy place not far from the White
House in fashionable Massachu-
setts Park. Her daughter, Susanna
MRS. David Hare, who was di-
vorced several years ago, lives with
her.
After her resignation, Miss Per-
kins was appointed American rep
resentative to the meetings abroad
of the International Labor Office
She then took on a job that she is
continuing-the writing of weekly
column on labor matters for 300
labor papers.
She has not been called into any
of the current labor disputes. Her
name was high on the list of women
submitted to President Truman for
UNO delegate and had Mrs. Roose-
velt refused the post, her claims
would have been warmly pressed
by her friends. Now that the Pres
ident has pledged himself to ap-
point more women to high Govern
ment posts, Miss Perkins will again
be put forward as one eminently
qualified to serve the republic.

Beef from cattle slaughtered here today will reach some retail count CTS next Thursday. To get it there that soon, packers will ship 1t out on the sixth day, letting it cool en route in refrigerator cars, for unloading on the seventh day.
 Some pork will arrive by Tuesday. Pork doesn't require the cooling period beef does.
 Cured Pork to Take Month
 People hankering for ham steak, bacon or smoked shoulders will have to wait another month while it cures.
 Spokesmen for the big packers said they intended to follow flair distribution policies" to give all parts of the country an even break on meat shipments. Hospitals and similar institutions will be given un- official priorities.
 Fifteen days after the first meat goes to retailers, choicer beef will appear.
 "A determined shopper can begin refusing hamburger in about a month from today" one packing house official said.

 Meat for Sunday Dinner

|. Chicago, Oct. 17- (UP9-The average American home can have meat on the table for Sunday din- ner.
 More; will appear from the big packing houses one week later. A month from today housewives can start getting choice cuts.
 Two months from now they can walk out of butcher shop if they don't see what they want, and find it somewhere else.
 That was a summary of the meat situation given by trade sources today.
 Prices? To Rise Naturally
 Prices, they added, will go high CT, but will level of as supply meets demand.
 The meat people eat Sunday will come from small towns and slaughter houses in their own To- cality.
 It will take longer for the big packers, such as those in Chicago, to resume quantity production. Cattle coming in now are mostly grass fed, making f1ne SteWS, roaSCS and ground meat, but for the most part, aren't good for steaks. Choice prime beef will reach the retail market in quantity about the same time as Christmas turkeys, packers said. His Own Fails Him
 T expect to eat meat at home Sunday" said an official of one of the big Chicago packing houses. But it will come from small slaughter house.
 ''They can turn it out faster. It will take us several days to get all our labor force back. Trade chan nels to the retail butcher are com pletely empty. And our aging and cooling periods are longer than those of most small packers"

MUKDEN, April 13- UH The
fate of Changchun, capital of Man
churia, may be decided within the
the next seven days by battle
between Chinese Nationalist and
Chinese Communist armies raging
today around the railway hub of
Szepingkai, 70 miles to the south.
The last Russian forces in Chang

Changchun prize of battle for
the opposing Chinese armies.
Nationalist forces were reported
holding the capital with only 1000
troops brought in before the Rus

puppet forces whose loyalty to the
central government is uncertain.
The Nationalist are sure of the
loyalty of only 1000 militiamen
flown to Changchun from Peiping

are strong Communist forces, be-
lieved equal to or outnumbering
the Nationalist.
Latest reports available here said
