By MolcoIm Lomborne, Jr.

The Agriculture Department
served notice today it would
vigorously prosecute all willful
violatorS of the three-year- old
war food order prohibiting con-
signment selling of bread and
other bakery products, in a move
to effect a saving in wheat and
increase grain shipments abroad.
Bakers, grocers and other dis
tributors of bakery products are
being asked to report promptly to
the nearest compliance field Office
of the department any violations
coming to their attention.
"One outgrowth of consignment
selling in the past was the return to
bakers of bread and other goods I'M
sold by retailers" the department
said. While some of the returned
products were distributed to con-
sumers through bakers day-old
sales, large quantities were fed to
livestock or destroyed"

Under consignment selling, retail
ers are charged by bakers only with
what is actually sold to consumers
and the remainder is returned.

fully cooperate" with President
Truman's program. I'VE urge the
churches, schools and restaurants
to lend their support to the appeal
to reduce consumption of wheat

fats" the proclamation stated.
Dietary Controls Urged.
1--WE further urge the heads of
public hospitals and public welfare
institutions to likewise cooperate
with the Presidents program, con-
sistent with medical advice and
dietary controls. We are con-
fident that the people of WASH
ington, as Americans of good will
are ready to make every sacrifice to
further this great humanitarian
effort"
A return to voluntary rationing'
was urged on Americans yesterday
by the Federal Council of Churches
of Christ in America, meeting in
Columbus, Ohio. A general session
of the councils special postwar

Truman F|at|y Refuses
Detroit Plea 10 Attempt
|GM Strike Settlement
President Confident
Deadlock Will End
On loH-Cent Busis

President Truman said fatty
today that he would not inter
vene in the lengthy General
Motors strike as suggested by
Detroit city officials, while Con-
gresS and the Labor Department
showed increasing concern over
the deadlocked company-union
negotiations.
The President, in reply to ques-
lions at his news conference, said
he always had been Of the opinion
that settlement of the GIN dispute
would be reached on the basis of the
1914 cents-an-hour wage increase
recommended by a Federal fact
finding board, but that he would
not step into the case.
Mr.. Truman called attention to
the peaceful settlement of wage
differences in the telephone and
rubber industries and commented
that it is too bad that all labor
disputes cannot be ended in the
same way.
Cites Two Settlements.
The President pointed out that
wage questions in both industries
were settled through collective bar
gaining and in a manner satisfactory
to labor and management. He
commented that it was done with
out ballyhoo.
Agreements in the telephone and
rubber industries, Mr.. Truman said,
are typical of hundreds of settle
ments made by the AFL, CLIO and
independent unions on a basis of
free bargaining and almost without
notice. He added that it was too
bad that people who do the right
thing cannot get as much publicity
as those who constantly run to the
newspapers for it.
Mr.. Truman did not elaborate on
the statement nor did he mention
the cases he had in mind where the
disputants have sought publicity.

Battle for Home
Ceilings
Turns 10 Senate
Fate Is Uncertain,
But Subsidy Plan
Gets encouragement
BY the Associated Press

Senate Democrats today gave
President Truman's bob-tailed
housing bill a fighting chance to

ground it lost in the House.
Majority Leader Barley limited

move to incorporate the legislation
into a projected long-range hous-

The new-homes issue shifted over
to the Senate when the House

the administration bill yesterday by
a vote of 357 to "a. The final draft

mgs for existing homes and a
$500 10000 subsidy fund to boost
production of building materials.
Ceilings Fate Uncertain.
The fate of the ceilings proposal
in the Senate was uncertain, but
there was mild announcement for
subsidies. Senator Taft, Republic
can, OF Ohio, the accepted minority
leader on housing matters, told
newsmen there were "a few sub
slides to which I might not object"
Senator Barley told reporters
there had been no Democratic deci-
sion yet as to procedure on the
whittled-down housing measure. He
remarked, however, that the Sen

Russia Backs France
On Proposal 10 Call
Franco Before UN0
U. S. Expected to Fight
PIun on Grounds Thut
Regime Is No Threat
By the Associated Press

Fhft1O MAT. 6.-1ue FOTelSu
Office today said Russia has re-
piled favorably to French
proposal to take the Spanish
question before the United Ma
tons Security Council.
Diplomatic officials in Washington
said it was virtually certain the
United States would oppose the
French plan, contending that the
Franco regime, whatever else it
might be, is not a threat to inter-
national peace and security and
hence not a proper subject for the
Security Council.
The French Foreign Ofice said
Great Britain had sent a negative
response to the French proposal and
that France Is currently carrying
on talks with the British.
A spokesman also said France is
awaiting reply from the United
States.
The French Foreign Office gave
no further details OF the Russian
attitude.
Commenting on one of the sources
of irritation against Spain by Al
| lied powers, the Madrid newspaper
ABC denied in an apparently in
spired editorial that three women
Republican leaders had been SEN
fenced to death for clandestine &C
tivities, as charged by newspapers
and radios outside Spain.
| Civil War Excitement Charged.
| The Madrid radio, continuing its
counterofensive against the anti
Franco campaign abroad, declared
last night that the United States,
Britain and France and melting an
other civil war in Spain.
These governments which so gen.
erously express their hope that
Spain may not again be subjected
to the horrors of civil war implicitly
incite us to civil strife by their note
which craftily provokes this warfare
by receptions for which there is no
place in Spain," the radio, quoting
the Madrid newspaper ABC, said.
ut is not we, but a million dead
who raise an impossible bar
rier against the handing over of
power to the Judases and Gains
whose only methods are treason and
SANDER"
The note referred to was a tri-
power condemnation of the regime
of Generalissimo Francisco Franco,
who yesterday attacked Russia in an
impromptu speech in Madrid and
commented that "the causes which
had been reasons of the civil war
must disappear for always"
Accused of "Fickleness."
Last nights broadcast said the
three nations were doing exactly
the contrary of what they proclaim
is their purpose" in the note. which,
the radio commented, contained two
points "that have filled the measure
of our stupor" assertion that
the Allied powers had no intention
of interfering in SPANS internal
affairs and the hope that there
would not be another civil war.
In another broadcast, the Madrid
radio accused the three powers OF
"fickleness" in not publicizing evil
dence of Russian German collabo-
ration before 1941 while publishing
concentrations of Spain. and added:
This abominable offensive, and
campaign of lies and calumnies, has
been worked up to conceal at the
expense of Spain's hard-won peace
the criminal expansion of Soviet
imperialism.
The Moscow radio asserted today
that the Franco regime established
according to Hitler and Mussolini's
prescription, evokes indignation
among all peace-loving nations"
