Borbers ToUp Scale

The much argued increased prices for haircuts and slaves will probably be finally decided tonight when the Waterbury Master Bar bers Association and the Journey men Barbers hold a joint meeting at 1O9 Bank Street.
 Higher prices seem certain but a sizeable group of shop operators IS against increasing the haircut price to a dollar. This group will fight for a 85-cent rate, which would represent 15-cent increase over the present 70-cent figure.
 The move toward increasing prices was started last Winter. Ac- tion seemed certain at that time, but delay i'll boosting the rates was voted when the brass strikes began and thousands of Waterburians were out of work.
 Under the scale of dollar for, haircut, shave prices would be raised to 50 cents. If the 85-cent haircut rate is voted, as seems like ly, slaves will cost 40 cents. The present price of a shave is 35 cents.
 John Heating is president of the Master Barbers Association. Pas quale Mazzamaro is president of the Journeymen's Union.

Freight Figures Fail
 To Check With OPA's

A discrepancy, involving thous- ands of pounds of eagerly sought for meat. that allegedly appears be- tween the freight figures of the Waterbury branch of the New Haven Railroad and the freight re- ceipts of the Waterbury meat pack ing houses are now being investi- gated by the Connecticut Office of Price Administration.
 Stanley Crute State O.PA. Ad- ministrator, today told The Wa terbury Democrat that a thorough check into the discrepancy is now being made by my office"
 Railroad officials here today flatly refused to discuss the situation saying: Such facts are not for publication"
 24O,OOO Pounds Shipped
 Crute last week stated that ap- proximately 240,OO0 pounds of meat were shipped into Waterbury ac- cording to figures released to his office by the Waterbury railroad frieght office.
 Local packing house representa- tives of Swift, Armour and Cudahy have denied these figures and to- day termed the O.P.A. officials statement as exaggerated"
 '"The railroad figures are there and cannot be denied" Crute re- piled. We would certainly appre- ciate any and all help the packers in Waterbury will give and if there is such a loss of meat somewhere Continued Page 16-(FREIGHT)

B Brotherhood Plans Merger

Miami Beach, Fla, June 27 - (UP) - President A. F. Whitney of the Brotherhood of Railway Train men said here today that the 27O,- 900 members will affiliate with the American Federation of Labor or the Congress of Industrial Organ nations this Fall.
 Here to make plans for the eight week brotherhood convention which begins Sept. 26, Whitney as- serted that some definite action will be taken. He refused to express his own preference between the labor organizations.
 "The day is past when labor can operate successfully on an inde- pendent basis" he said. This is the age of mass production, and the best results can be obtained by a unified front"
 If the merger goes through, it will be the second time this year that major labor organizations have united with either the AF.L. or C.IO. In, the Winter, John L. Lewis re-afflliated his 5O0,000 United Mine workers with the A.FL. Whitney said that action had nothing to do with the move by the trainmen.

President Tries to Keep StobiIizer
 Senate Chomber
 To Meet Tonight To Kill FiIibuster

Washington, June 27 - (UP) - President Truman said today Eco- homie Stabilizer Chester Bowles has been attempting to resign. But MT. Truman said he hoped he could prevail on Bowles to remain in the Government.
 The President was asked at a news conference whether he ex- pected Bowles to quit following final action on the OPA Extension Bill. Bowles has opposed the measure as ineffective.
 MT. Truman said he hoped Bowles would not leave, but that the eco- homie stabilizer had been trying to quit for some time to return to his home state of Connecticut.
 The President said that BowleS had submitted a resignation to him shortly after the chief executive en- tered the White House, but that so far he had been successful in pre- vailing on Bowles to remain.
 MT. Truman's statement came as administration leaders promised to hold the Senate in night session if necessary to break a threatened fllibuster against the battered OPA Extension Bill.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley, Ky, demanded that the Senate take final vote on the bill today and speed 1t to the White House.
 The OPA now is scheduled to ex- pire at midnight Sunday. Sen. w. Lee O'Daniel, O., Tex0, said he was ready to talk on through Monday to kill the price agency, which he said was 'unconstitution- al and Communistic."
 Administration leaders felt final passage was assured. The House al- ready has approved the conference compromise to extend OPA for a year but allow many price increases.
 Passage of the bill in is present form was expected to bring the resignation of Stabilization Chief Chester Bowles who went to the White House yesterday to make a last minute, plea for veto.
 ODaniel, nattily clad in a dark suit, sounded his threat of 8 fih- buster. late yesterday. His desk in the rear of the Senate chamber was piled high with multi--colored en- velopes stuffed with reports which he said could keep him talking until Monday.
 He dramatically strode into the Senate chamber with his weapons" only after most organized opposi- ton to the OPA plan faded. It had centered on efforts to return the bill to conference for restoration of amendments which would remove price controls on meat, poultry, dairy, tobacco and petroleum pro- ducts.

'Bis4'Drop Discussions On rieste
 MoIotov's Joint
 Administration
 Plan Rejected

Paris. June N-(UP)-Midnight reflection by the western powers oi V. M. Molotov's new plan for Trieste today almost wiped out the possibil- ity of 2l-nation peace conference this Summer.
 The "Big 4" conference stands at a dead point. Compromise efforts on Trieste have failed. There is no hope that the ministers will complete work on the Italian and satellite treaties by their self imposed Friday deadline.
 The ministers called another plen- ary session at 4 P. M. to consider details of the Balkan treaties. The critical Trieste issue, on which everything hinged, has been dropped indefinitely.
 Five days of secret bargaining between Molotov and James F Byrnes ended in failure in an extra ordinary night Council session last ing raSt midnight. Molotov's offer ot his 'extreme concession" - joint Yigoslav Italian administration o1 Trieste-was rejected in turn by Byrues, Ernest Bevin and Georges Bidault.
 Barring some unexpected policy reversal, the ministers will pass the Friday deadline without issuing in- vitations to a full dress conference.
 The breakdown of Trieste bar gaining resulted from MolotoviS es- sentiai refusal to retreat from the line drawn by the Kremlin months ago which would put the Italian Yugcslav frontier west of Trieste.
 Molotov's final proposal was for the administration of Trieste by two governors, one Yugoslav and one Italian, as an enclave within Yugo- slav territory. In rejectcing it. Byrnes said such joint responsibility would lead only to endless friction.
 Byrnes proposed handing the Tri- este dispute to a 21-nation confer ence. Both he and Bevin, said they would abide by any decision the 2l nations made. Molotov, again re- fusing to agree, said consideration of Trieste would split the full dress conference.

Irsunists Sentenced

Jerusalem, June 27- (UP) A British military court which was booed by the defendants today sem tenced one youthful member of IT, gun zvai Leumi to life imprison- ment and 30 others to 15 year terms for illegal possession of arms.
 The court failed to invoke the death sentence against the extrem- ists, although empowered to do so.
 All 31 convicted men jumped from chairs one second after the sem tences were pronounced and sang Hativka, the Jewish National An them.
 The trial provoked strong political feeling and was believed closely lined with possible release of three British officer hostages held by IT, gun Zvai Leumi, a militant Jewish underground army. Conviction of the 31 men was announced yester- day.
 Hopes for early release of the British hostages were augmented by avoidance of the death penalty. There was feeling of relative re- lief throughout the Jewish com munity.
 The sentenced men shouted down with England" as the judges left the room. Jewish children yelled fred devils" at the British para troopers in red berets who led the prisoners away.
 Heavy police and military guards protected the courtroom when the sentences were pronounced. Police men holding batons stood in front of the defendants and soldiers with automatic weapons manned the windows. Armored cars covered all approaches. Barred wire barricades were drawn across the main en- trance.

For PooI-seIIinq

Without comment, Su- perior Court Judge How. ard w. Alcorn today irn- posed jail sentences rang ing from six to eight months on eight men who pleaded guilty to charges of pool-selling, and set $500 fines and two.year probationary periods for most of them.
 In seven cases Judge AL corn imposed jail sentences of several more months than re- quested by States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald, but suspended the additional months.
 The sentencing followed a statement from Fitzgerald in which he declared that the gambling activities were "de- liberate and continuous" that the accused knew they were taking a risk, and that each knew "he could expect noth- ing from the State except 8 fine and jail sentence" if con- victed.
 Dispositions were made as follows:
 William LaCapra, 2o, of 133 Chase Avenue, eight months in jail, with two of them suspended, probation for two years.
 James N. JameIe, 35, of 69 Clairmont Street, eight months, two suspended, probation for two years.

T do not think more liberal ized voting trend has been indicat- ed by my election or that of any, one else," he told this writer in answer to a direct questioning. T am firmly of the opinion instead that a liberal attitude has been demonstrated by not only the voters of my district but generally speak ing throughout the state, as indi- cated by elections since 1882"
 "At the present time I intend to seek reelection again this year." he asserted.
 T don't know, and do not bother too much at. this stage of the game, about whom the Republicans will nominate in opposition to me- he added.

 Tilt Sought

hartford, June T - CUP) - Re. tlcent about discussing his candid. acy for governor on the Republican ticket, former Lt.-Gov. James I,. McConaughy said today he thought that a U. S. Senate campaign be tween Mrs. Luce and Economic Staoillzation Director Chester Bowles would be of the most inter- esting."
 McConaughy, mentioned as pos- sloility for governor, or for Con- gress from the 5th District. ex. banded his conviction.
 Tn fact" he said, it is one which would be more or less spectacular. I think it would create tremendous interest in the State"
 Rep. Clare Boothe Luce, now rep. resenting the 4th District, has re- lterated that she would not again seek political office, despite persist- ent reports she would be offered the senatorial nomination. Bowles, on the other hand, has said that his entry into state politics would de- pend entirely upon how badly the OPA fared at the hands of Con- gress. He has said he would be sin. terested" in the governorship.
 McConaughy, woh recently came out for 5th District Rep. Joseph E. Talbot for governor, was included by some party leaders as a likely choice for standard-bearer. Others mentioned include Attorney Gen. eral William L. Hadden; Hartford County States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., and State Chairman Harold E. Mitchell.
 Gov. R. E. Baldwin, who several times has said he would not run again. might be offered a draft, according to current reports, as a testimonial of the party's regard for his leadership.

The career of Peter J. Pugni, p, alias Albert Marcantonio of New York City, self-styled Marine hero and parole violator of Cheshire Re- formatory rested today on the out come of trial in, Superior Court in September.

we are not interested in the violations of OPA ceilings as such, said Kraemer. "What we are in- terested in is whether these dealers have filed income tax reports on their income from the black mar ket.
 The investigation had reached a point, he said, where i've are now getting close to the big fellows"
 The investigation was the first full-scale inquiry conducted by the Internal Revenue and Treasury Departments in Connecticut since the OPA was established. Kraemer declined to estimate how many ar- rests might be made.
