Dairy Owner Charges
U. 5. Agent 5 Conduct
Caused Wife S Death
BY the Assoeiofsd srsss

WARREN, Ohio, Mar. 23.-The
owner of q l,200-acre dairy farm,
whose attorney said he had been
"feuding" with the Government, to-
day charged that his wife suffered
q fatal heart attack as the result
of unlawful, malicious and illegal
conduct" OF an Agriculture Depart
ment agent.
Temple McAllister, in a $1,000
damage suit filed yesterday in Com
mon Pleas Court, named as defend
ant, Thomas E. Maulsby. agent
working out of the Agriculture De-
partment's Chicago Office.
Lewis E. Guarnieri, attorney for
McAllister, said the "feuding" with
the Government had been carried
on for more than two years over the
latter's milk business. McAllister
who asserted he would request a
coroner's investigation Of his wife's
death, contended in the suit that
one reason for Maulsby's "unwar-
ranted and malicious attacks upon
the plaintiff is that he is a Repub-
ucan."
In his petition, McAllister said
Maulsby came to his farm Thursday
and by unlawful, malicious and Il
legal conduct" caused his 50-year-
old wife to suffer a fatal heart at
tack later in the day.
The complaint asserted the agent
was tn a dispute with one Of Nc

war. Now these agencies are filling
the vacancies, and this tends to off
set somewhat the dismissals in the
wartime departments.
Another reason given was the re-
turn to Government service of thou
sands of servicemen who are en-
titled to get their jobs back by law.
I'VE are sure that no one wants
us to treat these men unfairly" an
official said.
Majority Goes to Service.
Spokesman also pointed out that
the majority of workers are en-
ployed in the War and Navy De-
partments. The rapid demobiliza-
ton in the Army and Navy, includ-
ing many Servicemen and women
who have occupied "desk jobs" has
thrown the burden on civilian en-
ployes and caused a marked slow
ness in reducing civilian jobs, they
said.
A showdown on the new revamped
employment estimate is expected to
come when Congress is asked for
supplemental appropriations to
meet the payroll. An economy bloc
in Congress, led by Senator Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia, has demand
ed that the Government cut its
force in half.
An attempt is expected to be made
by some members of Congress to
have wage increases for Government
workers made contingent on more
rapid personnel cuts when the Fed
eral pay bill comes up for final
House and Senate action.

ployment decreased by only 1000
persons and the payroll in Wash

See Downward Trend.
The officials emphasized there will
be q downward trend in Federal
employment from now on but said
that there is no hope" of reaching
the 100000 figure by June. They
also weren't very hopeful that the
1,600,00 Federal employment level
announced for June, 1947 could be
attained by that date.
There will be sizable reductions,
but not as much as we anticipated
one official said.
The officials advanced several
reasons for the slowness in reduc-
tions in force. For one thing, thou

The number of workers under

the end Of the war, but the decrease
was smaller than the total employ

Der Of industries. On the earlier
date, for example, only minor parts
Of such industries as aircraft, meat
packing and metal mining worked
under such agreements while latest
figures show them nearly 100 per

gains were likewise made in ship
building, cement, aluminium, rubber
and steel. .7
On the other hand, the depart
ment pointed out, relatively little
union progress has been made in
agriculture, beauty shops, retail and
wholesale trade.

to decide ourselves just how we can
cut down on our consumption Of
bread, and rolls and fats and re-
iterated the need for as many Vic
tory gardens as possible.
The burden for helping alleviate
starvation, Mr.. Davis pointed out,
does not fall exclusively on the
United States, for mo matter how
hard we tried, we could not begin
to meet the acute needs OF the
whole world for food" Stricken
areas must do their utmost to help
themselves, while every country
everywhere that has any substantial
food reserves must spare what it
can If widespread starvation is to

PAConsiders Return
10 Wartime Control Of
Small SIaughferers
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

The Office of Price Adminis-
tration is considering a return
to wartime license control of
custom" slaughterers in a move
to reduce the number of new
operators in the packing busi-
ness since meat rationing ended,
and thus shut off a potential
black market source in meat, 1t
was learned yesterday.
The plan under consideration by
OPA officials contemplates limiting
the number Of small slaughterers
to those who were in business while
the agency's meat control order
No. was In effect. This restric-
ton, which exercised licensed
control over slaughterers. was lifted
with the end Of rationing last fall.
Big packers in the Western cattle
markets report a serious drain on
their supplies, resulting from pur-
chases by new buyers, particularly
in the East. 1t is this livestock,
which is being bought above the
normal market price. that OPA
fears is going into the black market.
OPA Warns Packers.
OPA already has served notice
that it will sharply reduce or cut
off the Government subsidy to
packers found paying above-ceiling
prices for cattle.

Emergency Committee, yesterday

"The people of America are chal-

a race against time. 1t is a race
against hunger and starvation. The
prize, If we win, is life for millions.
The race will be won or lost in your
kitchen-and in your heart" the
former war food administrator de-
clared.

Mr.. Davis admitted that even

by the committee in its 39-point

Allied Group Denies
That Hamburg Raids
Are Bread Riots
BY the Associated Press


HAMBURG, Mar. 23.-Suicides al
two housewives. perhaps from
hunger, were disclosed today after
groups Of Germans again looted
bread stores during the night.
The Allied Control Commission is
sued q statement tonight, however,
denying that bread riots" in the
true sense of the word had occurred
IN Hamburg, and saying that law
and order prevailed.
One 45-year-old woman who had
used up her months ration Of bread
hanged herself in her home. An
other woman hurled herself in front
Of q train.
Extra police patrols on duty dur
ing the night were unable to prevent
sporadic raids on bread stores.
Situation Declared Better.
The control commission declared
that the populace as a whole are
not determined in their effort to
obtain bread illegally, but If they
see a chance Of obtaining 1t in an
easy manner and at only a slight
risk, they will, of course, take it.
The situation generally has con-
siderably improved during the last
few days. It is well to keep in mind
that an unlawful assembly does not
constitute a riot unless its acts are
executed in violent and turbulent
manner, to the terror of the people"
British authorities said last night
that additional supplies of cocoa,
vegetables and fish were en- route.
The present German food ration in
this zone is 1000 calories daily.

hcer declared that Germans for the
next six weeks will be able to get
along fairly well on the physical
reserve built up, but if the normal
ration scale is not supplemented,
