serted would only intensity civil

be turned over to China for the
equivalent of about SITS, 900, 900.
More than two-thirds of the latter

Price Ceilings Lifted
IN Fruits, Vegetables
Removal Of Poultry, Eggs,
Tobacco From Price
Lists Advised

WASHINGTON, Aug. s1-R-
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
took price ceilings off a long list
c. fresh, canned and frozen fruits
and vegetables today, at least for
the month of September.
Beyond that, Anderson recon-
mended in effect that the Decon-
troll Board not put ceilings back
on poultry and eggs or tobacco
and its products.
He kept hands off the issue OF
whether dairy products, LETT out
from under price ceilings by the
Decontrol Board, should be put
back under curbs, reporting mere
ly that there were not enough OF
them to go around.
He took brandy out from under
ceilings.
And he sent OPA thumbing
through thousands of p%rocessed
items and byproducts to see which
of them also come out from I'm
der ceilings. That was by reason
of by a ruling that such an item,
in order. to. be held under ceilings
must contain at least 20 per cent
Of a product which itself is sub
ject to control.
All this the Agriculture secre-
tary accomplished without directly
affirmative action. All he did was
put out the departments first
monthly list of agricultural COM
modities in short supply" as re-
quired by the new price control
law.
The new law itself did not rest
by its requirement that ceilings
automatically come of any farm
item which does not appear on
that list.
The ''short supply" list itself
included, among many other COM
modities, Mogs and cattle, milk
and butterfat, most fats and oils,
jams and %jellies, and fish. The
listing made them eligible for con-
trolls.
These items appeared on the
ceiling-free list:
Fresh lemons, peaches, grape
fruit, apples and tangerines.
Fresh snap beans, cantaloupes,
carrots, lettuce, onions, spinach,
sweet potatoes and tomatoes.
Canned peas, lima beans, aspara-
gus, and mixed vegetables.

Fighting RACES
On Eve OF Plebiscite
VOTE WILL DECIDE
fate OF MONARCHY
Unofficial Reports Say ESQ
Killed In Pre-Elec-
ton Battles
BY ROBERT VERMILLION

ATHENS, Greece, Sunday, Sept.
1. W.D - Against a background
of bloody fighting throughout the
nation, Greeks voted today in a
blebiscite to determine # King
George II returns and restores the
monarchy.
Official and unofficial reports
said up to $50 persons were kill
ed in widespread fighting in the
48 hours preceding the voting.
A band of 200 alleged Commu-
nists was "annihilated'' in a two
day battle in Macedonia ending
Friday night, a government Of
fetal announced. Unofficial
sources estimated that so persons
were killed in scattered clashes be-
tween rightist and leftist political
elements yesterday.
From every part Of Greece
came reports of attacks against
police posts and voting places as
the nation prepared to ballot On
the restoration of the monarchy
which all observers believe will
take Greece even farther to the
right politically.
An allegedly Communist band Of
200 was killed or captured 10 miles
south of the Yugoslav border in a
battle ending last night, the gov
eminent announced. Official re-
ports said at least so persons were
killed in clashes throughout
Greece today.
Some of the deaths occurred
when bands attacked two mountain
villages in the southern Polopon-
nesus, lear Tripolis, and destroyed
voting booths and lists. Another
band in Thessaly destroyed more
election paraphernalia during an
attack on the town Of Platykampos.
The government, ann o u n c / n 6
these attacks, said a leftist band
also attacked a police post on the
road from Larissa to Volos, in
east-central Greece, burning down
the building and cremating several
gendarmes and civilians.
An armored half-track troop
carrier which pursued the attack
ers was blown up by a mine, re-
sulting in the detah of at least
one gendarme and the wounding of
others, the announcement said.
Interior Minister John Theotokis
said that order had been restored
in all provinces except the southern

though there had been no advance
notice of his first trip home since
tbe conference began. A Soviet
embassy spokesman readily con-
frmed that he had gone when
rumors spread.
The the spokesman declined to
say why Molotov had considered
It necessary to go, how long he
would be gone or even whether he

would return.
There was no doubt, however,
that shortly after his arrival in
Moscow he would consult with
Stain and other Russian policy
makers. and the suddenness of his
departure indicated that Stain had
summoned him.
The conference was begged down
in denominations and name-calling,
in which Soviet and Soviet-satellite
delegates had played a featured
rol. and tension between the east
ern and western biocs was probab-
ly sharper than at any time since
the end Of hostilities.
Molotov assailed the United
States and Britain yesterday for

That subject was expected to be
