Board have administered the "no- pay-cut" law. A management rep reSentative said the boards had moved the September, 1942, termin- al point right along with the ca- lendar." Actually, he said, the wage board won't approve reduction of any kind.
 Board officials agreed that was their general policy.
 Industry and AFL spokesmen have stated their positions to rep resentatives of Reconversion Direc- tor John R. Steelman. They be- lieve the stabilization law gives the President authority to terminate its provisions any time prior to the June 30, 1947, expiration date.
 Steelman has completer work on the wage decontrol program for submission to MT. Truman.
 Steelman said in a statement last night that he would discuss the wage decontrol plan with MT. Tru- man in the next two or three days. He made the announcement after 8 long conference with Wage Board Chairman W. Willard Wirt7 and two labor members, Walter Mason of the AFL and Carl Shipley of the CIO.

|, compiling the formal estimate from discharge records and records of exemption appeals.
 The State Tax Commissioners exemption schedule is based on similar activities following World War I and estimates that approM- mately 57.5 percent of the city's to- tai potential exempt property, amounting to $13,996, ,000, would be affected by World War II veterans appeals.
 The estimate is based on a popu- lation figure for Waterbury of 101,- 797, computed from ration books of last year. Of the estimated 12,724 veterans, about 10 percent are list- ed as disabled veterans whose ex- emptionS are greater than the fiat basic exemption of $1,000 given all veterans.
 Exempt property for Hartford and New Haven, based on this computation, will approximate $13,- 935,125 and $12. 800 respectively.
 Figures for Torrington are based on population of 26,994, of which 3,374 were veterans, producing potential tax exemption total of s. I'll ,000. Estimates for the other towns reported are: Thomaston, population, 4,627, veterans, 5l8:. ContinaIad Pare Y-(VETERANGl

Farmers Rush Meot Before
 Prices Drop
Stock Shipments Off Little Today After Heovy Run
lBy United PreSSl


 Livestock shipments to the big meat packing centers today were slightly below yesterdays heavy run.
 Friday usually is slack day in the livestock industry. Nevertheless, shipments to the nations major markets today were much larger than last Friday, and they far ex- ceeded the volume of the same date last year.
 All indications were that farmers were continuing to cull their herds to market their best animals before prices drop.
 Exceed Estimates
 Today's receipts at the 12 prin- cipal U. s. markets included $500 head of cattle, 17,400 calves, 45 300 hogs and 60,00O sheep. If the trend of the last few days continues, these estimates will be exceeded by actual shipments.
 Yesterdays estimated receipts were 88,00O cattle, 10000 calves, 112,- 900 hogs and 64,300 sheep. Actual shipments, however, were much heavier. Hogs yesterday totaled at least 177,400.
 Receipts a week ago totaled only 9,192 cattle, 4,686 calves, 4,037 hogs and 36,980 sheep. A year ago the total was 15,734 cattle, 7,654 calves, 17,032 hogs Snd 35,786 sheep.
 So far this week the major mar kets have received 332, 400 head of cattle, 87,000 calves, 278,100 hogs and 326,400 sheep. During the same period last week they received 204,- 733 cattle, 63,816 calves, 36,610 hogs and 265,681 sheep.
 A year ago for the same period the receipts totaled 314,520 cattle, 88,969 calves, 111,744 hogs and 281,- 681 sheep.
 More Next Week
 Armour's, which normally em- ploys 5000 to 12,000 workers at Chi cago, said it was recruiting slaugh- ter crews "as quickly as-possibles -t Patrick German, secretary treas urer of the A.FL. Meat Cutters Union, predicted that almost all of the unions $500 members employed at 13 independent slaughtering houses would be back on the job early next week.
 Spokesmen for the big packers said, however, that it would take them longer than the smaller houses to get back into stride. A survey indicated that housewives who are careful shoppers will be able to serve meat for Sunday din- ner, but it will come from the smaller packers.
 The supply will be increased a week hence when meat starts con- ing from the large plants.

Buyers BoIk At tTopCosts Consumers Refuse Meots in Boston

Boston, Oct. 18.-CUP)-Consum resistance developed in Boston to- day to the high cost of meat and prices dropped slightly.
 The price of butter also fell seven cents and declines were noted in fish and vegetable prices. Many cus- toners walked away without pur- chasing when told the cost of meat and as 8 result some dealers closed last night with stocks still on hand.
 Roast beef which brought Sl or more pound at the first of the week had dropped to 85 cents a pound Tuesday, ranged in price from 39 to 60 cents, depending on the quality.
 The decontrol of margarine, fats and oils was believed responsible for pushing the price of butter from 88 cents on Wednesday to 81 cents yesterday.
 Most dealers predicted a fair supply of beef this weekend. but thought hogs would be slower in reaching the markets.

Prison Stoff Could Carry GoeringVi
 Workers Allowed
 To Leove Grounds
 Daily After Oct. 6

Nuremberg, Oct. 18- (UP) "A channel of communication between Hermann Goering's suicide cellblock and the outside world was disclosed today when German employees of the prison said they had been permitted to leave it daily since Oct. 6. German help around the eel block in which Goering killed him. self had been understood heretofore to be limited to the prison them selves. But today spokesmen for the 21 employees in cell block c told cor- respondents that the restriction had been off since 10 days before the executions.
 On Oct. 6, the employees said, they were allowed to leave the prison for the first time since they accompanied Col. Burton c. Andrus here from Mondorf; Luxembourgh They exchanged their prisoner of war status for that of voluntary but confined contract laborers.
 American prison officials denied that the bulky Nazi's body bore any scratch or other sign that the poison capsule had been concealed under the skin of his bulk abdomen.
 The denials were entered by Lieut. Charles Roska, Nuremberg prison physician, and Col. B. c. Andrus prison commandant. Andrus admit ted, however, that he had not made a thorough personal examination ot Goering'S body.
 However, both Roska and Andrus flatly denied reports which had come from a competent source last night that a small scratch had been found on Goering's abdomen, large enough in which to conceal the tiny potas- sium cyanide capsule.
 RoSka said he had made a careful examination of Goering's body after the suicide and found no wound of any nature on the abdomen.
 Nuremberg, Oct. 18-CUP)-Capt Robert Starnes, Nuremberg prison of ficer, revealed today that two days before the Nuremberg executions he discovered a child's kite in tree be- tween the condemned row and the death house in the Nuremberg prison yard.
 He said a scribbled piece of paper was attached to the kite but that the handwriting could not be deciph- cred.
 Starnes had no explanation of the kite but did not attach any Signific- ance to it.

World Gang Hunted h Windsor Theft

London, Oct. 18 - (UP) - Scot land Yard today broadened it's hunt for a cat burglar fleeing with $100,- GOO worth of the Duchess of Wind sor's jewels into a worldwide search for operatives of an international gang of gem thieves.
 The famous Yard threw its best brains into one of the greatest man. hunts of modern times, at the same time sealing of the British Isles with a tight cordon through which they hoped the Windsor jewels had not penetrated.
 Hour after hour messages crack led out over the continent to the French Surete Generale and other continental arms of the law, warn- ing that the Windsor robbery look ed like the work of big time opera tives who robbed European society of millions of dollars in gems be- tween the wars.
 Duke Annoyed
 Stately Ednam Lodge, 18 miles outside London, where the Duke and Duchess of Windsor arrived for visit last week, was swarming with officers like 8 precinct station on election night.
 The Duke emerged briefly today from the lodge on Titlark Hill, the home of the Earl of Dudley. He said he was annoyed" and deeply concerned" at what he called exag- gerated reports of the value of the stolen jewelry.
 There is absolutely no truth in published reports that the value of the jewelry was $1,0OO ,O0O," he said. T can understand that 1000, ,00O naturally makes better reading than $100, ,000-but $100,0O0 is the sum-"
 On the other hand, a competent source pointed out that the gems probably could be disposed of for at least three times the specified amount.
 Historical Value
 Tt must be remembered, an in- formant said, that any article treasured by the Duchess of Wind- Sor would bring a price out of all proportion to its actual value if sold to a collector because of it's asso- ciation with the woman for whom the British King gave up his em- pire.
 Its like buying the jewels of any historical f1gure-Marie Antoinette or the Empress Eugenie or Mary of Scotland"
 Flying squads of detectives bounced on five suspects during the night. But all of them proved alibis, and no arrests were made.
 While the Yard prefers to work behind curtain of secrecy until results are obtained, it was known that the sleuths thrown into the search were banking considerable hope on some $120,00O worth of jew els discarded by the thieves on the grounds of Ednam Lodge, possibly because they were too well known for diSpoSition-"too hot"
 Hunt Fingerprints
 F1ngerprint experts hunched over the recovered gems for hours, but what secrets they drew from them ii any, were retained by the Yard
 After 24 hours of intense inquiry the robbery was believed to have been carried out by 8 single agile burglar wearing gloves who shin- nied up 8 drainpipe leading to the suite occupied by the Duke and Duchess.
 The inside man" was believed to have had two or three outside &C., complices, one of whom was at the wheel of an automobile while the others hid in the lodge grounds, lurking in the mist that swirled low over Titlark Hill at dusk Wednes- day.

Byrnes Talk
 ToAsk Firm Soviet Stand
Foir Play for All Londs To Be Urged In Folk Tonight
By JOHN L. STEELE United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, Oct. Is = (UP) = Secretary of State James F. Byrnes will tell the American people tonight that if the world is to i've in peace, the United States must deal with Russia with a policy of firmness tempered with pa tience.
 At the same time, it was learned, his nationwide broadcast will make clear to Moscow and the world that the United States cannot compro- mise her principles of fair play 10 all nations-large and small-ln writing peace terms.
 Byrnes will speak from 10 to 1O:3O P. M. EST. His address will be broadcast by NEG land some Mutual and independent stations. Broadens Report His 3O-minute speech was planned originally as a report on the recent 79-day Paris peace con- ference. But, as though to under line the overriding importance ot Russian relations, ByrneS will de- vote a major portion of his speech to that topic, diplomatic sources said
 With this country at the diplo- matic crossroads with Russia in problems reaching from Germany to Japan, ByrneS was expected 10 assert forcibly that only through fair settlement of these issues can l lasting peace be assured. The wiry, 67-year-old secretary arrived by plane yesterday from Paris. With a wave of his hand and broad grin he reported much progress at the peace conference. An hour later he went to the White House for a personal report to President Truman.
 The remainder of the day he spent at his desk revising the text of his foreign policy address, draft ed first in Paris.
 Hopes Public Forces Treaties
 In a brief airport press confer ence under the wing of President Truman's personal plane, the Sacred Cow. Byrnes reiterated hope that public opinion will force acceptance by the Big Four foreign ministers of the five treaty drafts prepared at Paris.
 He was expected to repeat that theme tonight as a reply to Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov's statement that many Paris deci- sions were unsatisfactory and that Russia would seek to undo some ot the conference work when the for eign ministers meet Nov. at New York.
 Meanwhile, President Truman announced that he will accompany Byrnes to New York to address the opening session of the United Ma tionS General Assembly next We'd nesday. Thereafter Byrnes will re- turn to his desk until the Big Four foreign ministers meet.
 Byrnes was understood to have discussed his address with U. $. Ambassador to Russia, Walter Be- dell Smith.
 May Mention Squabble
 Smith arrived Wednesday on an unheralded trip home, his first in seven months. The Ambassador told reporters his visit primarily was te discuss embassy administrative problems, but that he would con- suit with MT. Truman and other leaders before returning to Moscow
 Byrnes, it was learned, may refer at least indirectly to the recent for eign policy squabble which led to the cabinet resignation of former Secretary of Commerce Henry A Wallace. This was expected to lead to new enunciation of the U. s. policy toward Russia, described as firmnesS with patience.

To Beat Crawford in
Return Bout Tonight

Ross Strickland, the New York
heavyweight who belted out Wash
ington's Jackie Crawford with one
punch in the first round of a Buffalo
fight this summer, rates as an 8-5
choice for repeat victory when the
two meet again tonight in one of
the co-feature 10-rounders opening
the indoor fistic campaign at Turn
ler's Arena. The other windup
brings back Jimmy McGriff, popular
colored District welter, against Ed

Strickland's punch ended Gran
Iford's winning streak at IA. Eleven

to wipe the Strickland setback off
the book to regain lost prestige. The
Crawford camp claims it was lucky
punch from Strickland that ruined
him in the Buffalo fight.
McGriff, busy puncher and box
er, is a 7-5 favorite over Alzek.

BY the Assoeiofed Press

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30.-There's s
no use running out and betting any
money on this now, but the United
States Davis Cup squad may be

carried back to the American Davis
Cup Committee meeting October
in New York.
Kramer won the tournament as
expected, beating his buddy, Schroe-
der, So, 6-8, 60, 8-6, but other
performers were impressive.
Schroeder, 1912 National cham
pion and Kramer's long time
doubles partner, made a sizzling
comeback, whipping Frances VIM
bledon winner Yvon Petra, Brown
and Parker before succumbing to
the present national titleholder.
Falkenberg, Southern California S
national intercollegiate champion
flashed promise Of future greatness,
which could be just around the
corner, in extending Kramer to five
sets In the semifinals.
Brown was a trif1e of his sizzling
pace of the summer circuit, includ-
ing the nationals, but he played fine
competitive tennis.
