Chains Are Planning to
Shut Down Tonight
BY the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Mayor
William ODwyer intrusted to a
six-man board of businessmen
today the task of unsnarling
negotiations in the paralyzing
strike of AFL truck drivers as
two of the city's largest food
chains prepared to shut their
stores because of lack of de-
liveries.
The committee was named las
night after representatives of th
truck operators and the strikin,
unions, locals 807, 282 and BIG O
the international Brotherhood O
Teamsters, failed to reach an accort
to end the walkout.
THE meeting (of the employer
and union representatives. has not
provided basis for settlement
which is an understatement," Mayor
O'Dwyer said.
Il have requested a committee of
gentlemen of wide business inter-
ests to act as the Mayors Advisory
Committee in trying to facilitate
negotiations for a settlement"
Meeting Is Called.
He announced the committee
would meet with both sides this
morning to continue their efforts to
reach solution"
AS the A&P, and Safeway Stores
completed plans to shutdown TAO
stores at close of business tonight
for the duration of the strike, union
and employer officials said there was
little prospect for quick end to
the 14-day old strike.
John E. Strong president of Local
807, key unit in the dispute, said he
saw no chance for an agreement
for at least week"
ut is very complicated situation, -
he said. THE best I can hope for
now is temporary agreement which
would have to 60 back to the
membership. Union members have
scheduled meeting Tuesday.
Michael J. Cashal, vice president
of the Teamsters' Union, said there
won't be any tdevelopmen) for at
least two days" He added that the
negotiations might take even longer y
Further Apart Than Ever.
An employer spokesman who re-
fused to be identified by name said
the negotiations were further apart
than ever" in their discussions and
had not reached the subject of wages.
The strikers seek a 80 per cent
wage increase, reduction in work
ing hours from A to 40 hours a
week and changes in working condi-
tons. The operators have offered a
fiat So week boost Mayor O'Dwyer
proposed compromis wage increase
of 1872 cents an hour but this was
turned down by most operators and
union members.

layed About 200 members of the
outlawed NSZ revolutionary bands
freely walked the streets of this
Polish city today under a strange
"armistice" repeatedly arranged
with the security police of this dis

Their leader said they had agreed,
after sending negotiators to confer

outs, laydown their arms and stop
fighting, if the political prisoners of
Radon Jail were released.
A youthful lieutenant, who iden-
tiged himself as an officer of the
NSZ forces in this region, told this

police would completely fulfill the
armistice terms and release political
captives, many thousands of NSZ
men would leave the forests. Six

Porter AssaiIs
Predictionsof
Meat Famine
OPA Lifts Ceiling
On Sugar z Cents
A Pound Next WeeI

Predictions of a meat famine
later on this fall and winter will
turn out to be only "irrespon-
Sible" rumors, Price Admins
traitor Paul Porter today told
American housewives.
AS the price chief was telling shop
pers to stop worrying about meat
famine, the OPA prepared to raise
the price of sugar cents a pound
effective Wednesday-an increase
that will add from S160,0O0,0O0 tc
5000 100000 to food budgets in the
next II months.
The Agriculture Department, in 9
separate announcement, predicted
the supply of sugar in 1947 will be
greater than this year, but still ia,
below normal. This years supply
amounts to 73 pounds a person, com
pared with a prewar average Of
nearly 100 pounds. No estimate was
given for next year.
Ceilings to Be Held.
In his weekly radio address Mr.
Porter declared the much-publi
clzed meat famine will be disclosed
for the irresponsible rumor that ii
is" He also promised that ceiling
prices on meats would be maintained
and strictly enforced.
Mr.. Porter said a shutdown of
some meat plants and lack of meat
at some butcher shops was natur-
al result of the big rush to market
livestock while prices were uncon-
trolled.
We're paying now for the alb
normal glut of meat we had in July
and August" he said. That was
the time when the sky was the limit
as far as prices were concerned"
Meat supplies should be fairly
good" Mr.. Porter predicted after
We get over the hump of the next
six or eight weeks"
Promising a stiff fight against
black markets, Mr.. Porter said some
OPA agents will work in butchers
aprons right behind the counters
of retail stores, with an ear open
for any illegal shennanigans by
meat suppliers''
Sugar Agreement Cited.
ut will be pretty tough on the
chiseler," he added.
Meanwhile, OPA said the in
crease in the sugar price is required
by the buying agreement between
the United States and Cuba, cover
ing this and next years crop of
Cuban raw sugar.
Under this agreement, prices paid
the Cubans must be lifted when the
cost of living in the United States
rises.
The new ceilings, OPA asserted
maintained the historical price diff
ferential between cane and beet
sugars necessary ito prevent radical
distortion in distribution of the
two"
The retail increases will apply
the agency said, after wholesalers
and reAilers sell out present stocks
OPA said it was taking measures
to prevent sellers from taking
windfall profits by holding present
stocks to take advantage of higher
prices" through control of inven-
tories.
The price agency said the ceiling
increase will substantially reduce
subsidy payments to domestic, Ha-
waiian and Puerto Rican producers

members desire amnesty. Govern
ment amnesty, however, expired
months ago, when 10000 soldiers,
many of them onetime members of
Gen. Bor's insurrection army, sur
rendered.
The young officer said, "We want
to end civil strife and killing our
brothers in the security police, be-
cause we think we will be fighting
along side each other before the
year is out
While this unique situation ex-
iSted here, security police clashed
with large NSz band near Res
Zow in Southern Poland, killing %
and wounding 20.
A government source in Warsaw
conceded that apparently some
kind of armistice is in effect at
Radon"
A Foreign Ministry spokesman said,
however, that general amnesty for
NSZ bands was "out of the question"
and the only solution was their out
right capitulation."

 Tough Usage

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The Senate, rapidly loading down the OPA renewal bill with exemptions voted today to prohibit price con- trol of milk and dairy products.
 The amendment was written into the one-year extension measure by a roll call vote of 51 to 27.
 Earlier today, cottonSeed and soy leans were exempted by 42 to 34 vote.
 The flood of special treatment amendments began yesterday with adoption of meat and poultry de- control, 49 to 26.
 Votes still appeared probable on other items, such as tobacco and petroleum.
 Majority Leader Barkley, glumly aware of the trend even before the start of today's session, told re- porters sardonically that he guess ed he ought to offer an amend ment to prevent price control of okra, broccoli and artichokes, Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the Republican whip, sponsored both the meat and dairy decontrollers.
