tempered rows running in two treaty commissions. Yet Byrnes has not conferred privately with Molotov or any other diplomat considered with in the Soviet block. In previous conferences, the leaders often met in private to discuss the issues and clarify their viewpoints.
 Byrnes' wartime predecessors were great advocates of sitting down with those of differing diplomatic view point and threshing out differences. This method was based on the Rooseveltian theory that no problem was too big to be solved by such procedure.
 Many observers wondered all the more at Byrnes' present tactics be- cause he carried e reputation when a senator of being a "fixer"-a com- promiser and cloakroom operator with q flair for co-ordinating op- posing facticnR.

 "They do not have anything to talk about" the spokesman replied

 Disappearance If
 Controls Return

Butter prices in Waterbury var jed today from 8l to 90 cents a pound, as retailers and wholesalers awaited an announcement from the Decontrol Board in Washington as to whether O.P.A. controls would be restored to the commodity.
 The current butter price was well above the former O.P.A. ceiling price of 68 cents a pound, but still con- siderably below the $1-a-pound av- craze that black marketeers charged during the reign of the O.P.A.
 Retailers pointed out that while O.P.A. price controls were in force before June 30 only a limited SUD- ply of butter was available to them, the bulk going to black marketers who charged considerably over the currently uncontrolled prices.
 They predicted that if O.P.A. con- trols are restored butter will again leave the legal market and sell only through under-cover channels at $i- a-pound or more.
 They predicted further that but ter production would be decreased adding another headache to house. wives who now must get along with out oil and with a minimum of fats
 Retailers pointed out that an in- creasing number of consumers had been purchasing butter lately for cooking purposes, because of the scarcity of fats and oil.
 A survey today showed that but ter supplies here are good. Only one large downtown store was out ot stock, and shipment was expected there momentarily.
 Indications were that competition was still leaving its effect on prices One store posted a price of 90 cents a pound yesterday. Today it was changed to 88 cents. Another sold butter at 81 and 83 cents.

Negotiations With Truck Union Reopen
 Chain Businesses
 To Close Outlets
 Affected by Tieup

New York, Sept. 14-(UP) Nearly 1000 business es- tablishments in the New York metropolitan area, including TAO food stores, planned to close today for the duration of a general truck strike which has cut off delivery of SUD- plies for 13 days.
 Mayor William O'Dwyer appointed a committee of six gentlemen of wide business interests" to negotiate with the three striking A.F.L. teamsters locals in an attempt to break the deadlock. A meeting was scheduled for 10 A. M. today.
 The food stores, employing H. 900 workers, will close at P. M. today. About 500 outlets of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Com pany, employing 5000 persons, and Od4CWdy, 1llS', CAlpAOJ1AA6 o,oOo, WILL be affected. The stores are located in New York, New Jersey and Southwestern Connecticut, includ- ing Stamford and Greenwich.
 A & P employees will draw full pay during the time they are off, company spokesman said.
 In addition to the food stores 45 chain candy stores will close to- day and many other establishments were faced with immediate closing if the walkout is not settled.
 Independent stores, not affected by the strike, were able to absorb much of the business of the chains and it was estimated that about 85 percent of the city's normal food supply was being maintained.
 Almost every item imported into New York City was affected by the walkout. More than 1000 new cars destined for delivery in New York were piled up at the General Mo- tors plant in Linden. N. J. Thou sands of pounds of meat were stored in chain store warehouses within the city but couldn't be delivered to stores, and Long Island truck farmers estimated they were losing $200,0O0 day as produce routed in the field.
 Newspapers, all of which have omitted display advertising, were faced with the prospect of suspend ing publication next week because they were cut off from supplies of newsprints stored in warehouses All metropolitan papers were re- duced drastically.

Violence Threats Honq Over Ports
 AFL Seomen Fon
 To Respect Tickets
 By CIO Union

New York, Sept. 14-CUP1 The prospect of American seamen returning to their ships today vanished when negotiations between tn e National Maritime Union (C.I.O.) and ship operators broke up early today with no agreement. A threat of vio- lence hung over some of the nations strike-bound ports.
 A new meeting was sched- uled for 4 P. M. (EDT) after ship operators, headed by Frank J. Taylor, president of the American Merchant Marine T1- stitute, have had time to study N.M.U. wage demands.
 A.F.L. seamen in some ports were returning to work despite picket lines thrown up by the C.I.O. rais- ing the possibility of clashes be- tween the unions.
 Policemen On WaterfrOnts
 New York City policemen were concentrated on the waterfront, al- though A.FL. locals here have given assurance they will not cross picket lines.
 In New Orleans, special detach- ments of police were stationed at piers as AFL. seamen and steve- dores crossed C.I.O. picket lines and resumed work. Picket groups were limited to six men by police orders.
 The A.F.L. maritime unions in Baltimore also refused to honor tfrs C.L.O. picket lines.
 In Boston, however, A.FL. and CI.O. seamen picketed the water. front side-by-sid The AFL. sail- ors decided to stay out until a QUO. wage agreement has been signed.
 Up to Operators
 Joseph Curran, N.M.U. president, to the ship operators during 21z hour meeting that ended at 2:3O presented the C.IO. wage demands overed deck, engineering and stew ard claSSificationS.
 The decision of the operators win be the key to the ending of the 1O-day maritime tie-up which has paralyzed shipping in every Ameri- can seaport.
 The Maritime Commission has i'm dicated it will authorize ship opera tors of goverpment-controlled ves- SelS to grant the C.I.O. demands of equal pay for equal work" The commission yesterday authorized the A.FL. wage increase.
 AFL unions won wage increases for able bodied Seamen of $5 and $10 more monthly than the C.I.O. was granted three months ago.
 The NM.U. strike, called yester- day, has the support of the 10000 members of the CLOS Committee for National Maritime Unity, and will tie up large percentage Of American shipping, even if the AF.L. unions go back to work.
 Steelman Breaks Deadlock
 Stabilization Director John H. Steelman amended Government wage regulations to permit the AFL. wage increase, after the Wage Stabilization Board had re- jected them because they exceeded it's anti-infation formula.
 Steelman's order permitted the government to match the wage scale agreed to by private industry only if the Government was a minority operator as measured by dollar vol. ume of business and number of en- ployes.
 The Maritime Commission subse. quently made public figures show ing that there were 1,344 Govern ment- ships in operation compared with 1,469 privately con- trolled. However, figures on dollar volume of business and relative personnel still were unavailable.
