By Joseph YOUNG

Future employment opportuni-

as the Civil Service Commission

examinations for better jobs without

Regarding District residents, Gov

the apportioning system will mean
that many Washingtonians who

by the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, June 27.-Great
Britain will ration bread and
flour next month, a measure
avoided throughout the last two
wars.
John Strachey, Minister of Food
announced in the House OF Com
mons today that the program allot-
ting the British basic nine ounces
OF bread daily would start July 81.
Meat rations were raised slightly
allowing Britons to buy meat worth
28 cents q week, rather than "a

MiniateT, who now leads the Con-
saryative opposition, Immediately
challenged Labor to a debate.
The decision of the government
to introduce rationing of bread on
July II without furnishing any of
the facts or figures on which the
decision Is based" makes debate
imperative, Mr.. Churchill said.
This is one of the gravest an
nouncements I have ever head in
the House in the time of peace.
What is the saving? Could he
(Strachey> give us some figures
about that?
Are We to assume that, owing to
some grave miscalculations or other
uptoward events we are to expect a
far more stringent diminution in
the bread available to this country
than that maintained at S or 10 per
cent-(the. rest Of his words were
drowned out in shouts from the
Labor party benches.
Mr.. Strachey replied: Nothing I
have said carries that implication
in any respect"
Books Being Distributed.
Il need scarcely emphasize that
the government has reached this
decision because they are convinced
that to fail to ration bread and flour
at the present time would be to take
an unjustifiable risk with the basic
food supply Of the British people, :"
the Food Minister said.
Ration books good for a year from
July 81 now are being distributed.
Mr.. Strachey estimated the ra-
tioning levels would reduce bread
consumption to 10 per cent.
The rationing will be measured

Ministers DeadIocked
After Rejection Of 7
Red Plans on Trieste
Proposals Turned Down
By U. S., Britain and
France as Unworkoble
By the Assoeioisd Press

PARIS, June 27.-The western
Allies last night rejected two
Russian counterproposals for
the disposition of disputed
Trieste, leaving the Foreign Min
isters' Council still deadlocked
today on the most difficult phase
OF the Italian peace treaty.
The Russian suggestions, offered
by Soviet Foreign Minister v. M.
Molotov as compromise following
his rejection of French plan to
internationalize the Adriatic port,
proposed Cd that Trieste be made
an autonomous district under Yugo-
slav sovereignty, or (2) that the city
be placed under the joint sovereignty
OF Italy and Yugoslavia.
Both plans were turned down by
the American. British and French
Foreign Ministers on the grounds
that they were unworkable, that
they ignored the fact that Trieste
is ethnologically Italian and that
the ethnic principle was accepted
as a yardstick by the ministers in
London last September.
British Circles Heartened.
While the outcome apparently left
the council as far from agreement
as ever, some British circles indi-
Gated they were heartened by Mr.
Molotov's maneuver, which they in
terpreted as a sign of Russia's will
ingness to bargain. These quarters
predicted that two or three days
more of private conversations might
bring agreement.
Mr.. Molotov's proposals were pre-
sented at a specia, night session
which was called at the request of
the Soviet Foreign Minister and
which continued until past mid
night.
The session-tirst night meeting
of the ministers since they first as
sembled in April-was held in an
atmosphere of expectancy, height
ened by French press reports that
Mr.. Molotov was looking for ar
rival of an important message from
Moscow which might bring a sur
prise development in the Trieste
situation.
Mr.. Molotov offered his proposals
with the double -edged assertion
that they were concession to show
Russia's willingness to compromise
but that his government would
never agree to any settlement which
was incompatible with Yugoslavias s
desire for sovereignty over Trieste.
He brushed aside the previous
French proposal for internationliza-
ton of Trieste with the assertion
that Russia would not consider any
thing vague"
Alternative Proposals.
Mr.. Molotov first proposed that
Trieste be made an autonomous dis
trict under Yugoslav sovereignty,
but administered under a status ap-
proved by the four big powers. The
autonomous district would have q
house of representatives elected by
universal suffrage and a governor
appointed by the Yugoslavs. The
western frontier of the district
would be along the Soviet-described
boundary, with minor corrections in
favor of the Italians.
AS an alternative, Mr.. Molotov
suggested that Trieste be made an
autonomous district under the joint
sovereignty Of Yugoslavia and Italy,
