Grain Futures Tradino
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO. June 13-The Board
OF Trade today announced trading
would be stopped immediately in all
wheat and rye contracts, in July and
September corn and July and Sep
TENDER barley.
Traders guessed the action was
taken because the Senate was ex-
pected to vote shortly on an amend
ment to the OPA extension bill,
offered by Senator Thomas. Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma which if passed
would remove price ceilings from all
grains
If price ceilings were removed
from all grains. traders asserted
that substantial advance could be
expected to wheat, corn, rye and
possibly barley features. Shorts"
in these grains, who have been un-
able to get out of their positions be-
cause of the lack of offerings, would
be in grave financial distress.
/ Requiring settlement at present
prices prevents wild panic among
shorts, traders said. Prices at which
settlement will be made. based upon
those prevailing at the time trading
was stopped, are $780, for wheat,
$751; for rye, Sl.4612 for July and
/ September corn and $780, for July
and September barley.
| Trading in January and March
corn and November. December and
March barley was not affected by
the ruling.

By 20-to-5 Vote

The House Banking Committee
today approved legislation rati-

The legislation, already approved
by the Senate, as to "a, now goes to
the House floor, where opponents
promised sizzling battle
Banking Committee members said
the bill probably would reach the
floor a week from Monday.
Long Hearing Held.
The committee vote came after
long hearings, during which the
administration told Congress the
loan is essential to take the shackles
off world trade, to encourage inter-
national economic cooperation and
to aid world peace.
Without the loan, the proponents
argued, Britain would be unable to
participate in the Breton Woods
world bank and currency stabiliza-
ton funds, and this ambitious at
tempt at international economic CO.
operation would fail.
This view was supported by the
American Bankers Association. the

Truman Sees Byrnes
Leave National Airport
For Big Four Talks
President Also Bids
Good-by to Connolly
And Vundenbere
By joseph A. Fox
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman motored to
National Airport at noon today
to bid good-by to Secretary of
State Byrnes and Senators Con-
nally, Democrat, of Texas and
Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan as they left for Paris
for the resumption of the meet
ing of the Big Four Foreign Min
listers.
Get a special plane and come
over Senator Connally told the
President as he boarded the presi-
dental plane, The Sacred Cow,
which is carrying the party.
L might do that the President
responded, smiling.
Bye, Jim. God speed YOU" Mr.
Truman told Secretary Bvrnes. Sen
ator Vandenberg also got a warm
handshake and expression of hope
for a safe trip from the President.
The American delegates accom-
panied by their wives, took off at
1926 pm.
Confer at White House.
Undersecretary of State Acheson
and French Ambassador Bonnet al
SO were on hand to bid the party
good-by.
Mr. Truman rode to the airport
with Secretary Byrnes and the two
Senators after forenoon confer
ence with them at the White House.
Meanwhile, White House Press
Secretary Charles G. Ross. denied q
report, published in England, that
MI. Truman is considering a visit
to Moscow for a heart-to-h heart talk
with Prime Minister Stain in the
event of a failure of the Paris meet
ing.
Such report, Mr.. Ross told his
news conference. is news to me, it
is news to the President, and
haven't heard it discussed"
No Comment on Bevin Speech.
Mr. Ross said Mr. Truman had nc
comment on the speech yesterday
by British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin which strongly indicated
British rejection of a recommended
ton by the Anglo-American COM
mission for immigration of 100000
Jews into Palestine this year.
Diplomatic authorities said there
appears to be no doubt that the
Big -Four Foreign Ministers meeting
opening Saturday will prove finally
whether the great powers are cap
able of settling the European peace
in unity.
Mr.. Byrnes' ace in the hole in try
ing to persuade Russian Foreign
Minister Molotov to come to agree
ment on such critical issues as
the disposition of Trieste and set
tlement of Italian reparations is an
announced determination to carry
the whole controversy to the United
Nations in September if it is not
settled at Paris.
American officials frankly regard
this as a desperate move, justified
only by the conviction here that
conditions of peace must be at least
partly restored in Europe by the end
of this year.

Superseniority Ruling British Loan Approved
On Veterans Working By House Committee;
|nFedera| Jobs Asked Floor Fight |mpends
Civil Service Body
Seeks to Clarity Status
Before Reducing Stoffs

Faced with the problem of re-
ducing the number of Federal
workers, the Civil Service Com
mission today asked the Attorney
General for an opinion whether
the recent Supreme Court deci-
sion that veterans do not have
"superseniority" rights to their
prewar jobs applies to veterans
in Government service.
Government officials report that
as a result of stepped-up dismis-
sails they now find themselves in
a position of having to choose be-
tween veterans and nonveterans in
making further reductions.
The Attorney Generals decision
will affect all veterans who have
not served a year in Government
service since they returned from
the armed forces. If it is ruled that
the Supreme Court decision applies
TO Government, officials said that
some of these men would be put
in the same class as nonveterans
and war service appointees for re-
duction in force purposes.
Reversed Draft Stand.
The Supreme Court decision held
that veterans cannot displace nom
veterans with greater seniority
rights-thereby reversing one of the
main contentious of selective serv-
ice and siding with organized labor
Commission officials pointed out
that during the next year plans
call for reduction in Federal per-
sonnet of 100000 and that clear
cut policy is needed
Until now Federal agencies have
been proceeding in general on the
theory that a veteran has an un-
limited right to one years re-em-
ployment at his old job, regardless
OF seniority or greater skill of other
workers who did not 60 into the
armed forces.
Although the Supreme Court has
ruled against this, Government
agencies until now have been pro-
ceeding on that basis.

slstance when caught on the house
roof and admitted the Bernstein

here, Inspector Robert J. Barrett
announced today.
In his possession was the revolver
which police say he used to shoot

corsy and Harold G. Huffman, who
comprised the special squad, ar

The Washington police, who were

ties in surrounding the house in
which Wheeler hid, probably will
arrive here tomorrow, or perhaps
tonight. if they decide to start the
return trip Immediately. Inspector
Barrett said. The men have had
no sleep for two days and need a.
rest, he explained. They anticipate
no legal difficulty in returning
Wheeler promptly to Washington
because they had obtained a United
States commissioner warrant for
his arrest.
There were no details as yet con-
corning the reliable source" from
which police learned of the where

Rush to Raise Restaurant Prices
Likely as OPA ReIuxes Rules

The Office of Price Administration
today announced the first important
relaxation of pricing regulations
that have held restaurant menus to
rigid base of April, 1943.
The changes, which the restau-
rant industry here admits may bring
a rush to raise prices of meals, allow
eating places to increase prices of
any meal, individual food item or
beverage if the major ingredient is
now exempt from price control at all
levels of trade.
Raw food items not under price
control include Holsters, most types
of fish, except salmon, halibut and
tuna; all fresh, canned and frozen
berries; fresh apricots, frozen beets,
canned cabbage, broccoli, Brussels
sprouts and carrots: fresh cucum-
bers, elephants. corn sS>>age, peas

and potatoes, and canned citrus
juices
OPA also allowed higher prices for
new food items, meals or beverages
which restaurants either discon-
tinued during the war or never Of
fered before
Anticipating sharp revisions in
menus as a result of this second
action, the agency ruled that new
pricing procedure was contingent
on the restaurant continuing to
serve its regular menus previously
offered.
OPA officials said the new regu-
lation means the cost of dining out
will 60 up sharply if ceilings are
taken off meat, poultry, eggs and
dairy products, as proposed in the

BY the A.socioted Press

Attorney General Clark today
announced the filing of a Grim
inal information charging James
G. Petrillo and his AF'L Musi-
clans Union with coercive prac-
tees affecting radio broadcast
ing.
Mr.. Clark said "the charge is the
outcome of Petrillo's alleged viola
ton OF the Lea Act which became
a Federal law April Is, 1916" He
said the information was filed in
Federal District Court at Chicago
by United States Attorney J. Albert
Woll
The Lea Act, passed by Congress
in April and termed by some legis-
latorS the "anti-Petrillo" act, pro-
vides for up to one years imprison-
ment and 81 900 fine for any union
which compels or attempt to COM
pei broadcasters to hire more en-
ployes than they want
Calls Act Unconstitutional.
Petrillo, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians, con-
tends the act is unconstitutional
and invited test by calling a strike
on May % of three studio librarians
at Chicago Station WAAF. He said
he called the strike because the sta
ton refused to hire three additional
librarians.
Mr.. ClarkS announcement said
the information sets forth that the
Drovers Journal Publishing Co., Inc
operating radio station WAAF, en-
ployed a sufficient number of per-
sons to perform the actual work
needed in the operation of the sta
ton: that Petrillo attempted to
coerce and compel the employment

It adds:
THE coercion was attempted by
Petrillo ordering the stoppage of
work by members of his union en-
ployed at the broadcasting station
and directing the picketing of

Expected Prosecution.
When Mr.. Petrillo called the
strike he said he was expecting
prosecution, and in a speech at
st. Petersburg, Fla. on June
he threatened to halt all radio
network broadcasts if the Lea Act is
upheld by the United States Su-
preme Court.
Mr.. Petrillo said the Chicago sta
ton had arbitrarily refused" to
