Sy the Assoeictsd Press

BERLIN, Sept. 6.-Radio stations
in the Russian zone, including the
powerful Soviet-controlled Berlin
radio, did not carry Secretary of
State Byrnes' Stuttgart speech in
German as it was delivered.
Thus Germans in the Russian zone
for the most part will remain in the
dark regarding the message to the
German people until Soviet licensed
newspapers publish it.
A spokesman for the Soviet News
Bureau, which serves papers and
radio stations in the Russian zone,
said it intended to report the address
because 1t is of such great Inn
portance.
Nacht-Exprexs,' popular Berlin
newspaper published in the Russian
sector Of Berlin, prominently dis

central German regime, but said a

Poultry Supply Moy Offset
Meot Shortage Next Week

Housewives will be able to find
poultry for their meat-hungry fami-
lies, but even sausage meats-a war
time staple-will be hard to get next
week when the full force of the
meat shortage hits Washington.
That was the prediction made to-
day by Joseph Danzansky, attorney
for the wholesale food division,
Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation, in forecasting empty
butchers shelves by Tuesday.
On the score of the sausage meats,
which housewives turned to when all
other kinds were. off the. market,
Mr.. Danzansky said the low grades
OF cattle, from which sausage meats
were made, are not coming to the
market.
Mr.. Danzansky predicted the
shortage of all meats would last un-
til price ceilings once more 60 off.
He said producers have been getting
good returns for their meats-so
good that they can afford to feed
their cattle and hogs until price
ceilings are removed.

VFW Reverses Stand

VonsZondt, Veteran

With Honor Medal Man
BY George Beveridee
Stor StoH Coyrasnoodent

BOSTON, Sept. 6.-After a.
heated Commute debate the
Veterans of Foreign Wars today
reversed their stand of last year
and urged that Congress take nd
action on the merger of the
armed forces until views of both
Army and Navy officials can be
given a further airing.
Meeting here for the final session
OF their annual encampment, the
delegates gave James Van Zandt of
Pennsylvania, Republican congress
sional nominee and captain in the
Naval Reserve, decisive victory in
his hight against the merger.
Attacking restrictions barring
naval officers from addressing public
groups on the unification proposal,
Capt. Van Zandt. past VFW COM
mander, charged the restriction is
IAN unfair muzzle that is hiding
facts from the public"
Il participated in 26 invasions
from New Guinea to Japan and I
can tell you that if the merger bill
now before the Congress is passed,
the United States Navy is sunk" he
declared. Also charging that the
proposal "is really fight between
the Air Forces, the Ground Forces
and the Navy" he also called on
former AGF soldiers to defend
the need for your old units"
Honor Medal Man Speaks.
Appearing before VFW National
Security Committee here this week
were two generals and three colo
nels, all Air Forces" he said, but
not one single Navy man was allowed
to say word"
The Security Committee proposed
the resolution accepted by delegates
after the debate. In addition to
further congressional study, it also
asked wide public distribution of
views OF the officials of all forces.
The real fight arose today when
Army 1t. Francis x. Burke. Con-
gressional Medal of Honor winner
from Jersey City, charged the con-
vention was passing the issue as
"a hot potato" and submitted a
substitute resolution indorsing con-
solidation of all forces on a co-eaual
status In q national department OF
security"
Il want to take this opportunity
to exploit my Medal of Honor" he
said. True unification Is the only
key to real future security" 1t.
Burke's motion was swamped, how
ever, after Capt. Van Zandt's
address.
Many Issues Left Open.
The merger issue was the only
important one settled during this
last meeting and indications now
are that the session, scheduled to
end at 5 pm, will run late into
the night.
| The delegates approved q resolu-
tion demanding congressional legis-
lation to give the Government strict
control of atomic energy, adequate
appropriations for atomic research
and that "all processes and equip
ment for processing the bomb be
kept secret by the United States"
Among questions still unsettled is
the conventions stand on admission
Of women members and on uni
versal military training.

resolutions yet to be voted on and
officers to be elected.
