US. Studies Meat Packers Monopoly

Washington. Aug. l7-(UPl-Jus- tice Department officials said to- day it was too early to forecast whether grounds for antitrust ac- tions against meat packers would be found in an investigation of alleged creation of artificial shortages and private price-fixing
 The inquiry into complaints charg- ing the packers with such practices was accelerated early last month. President Truman. in vetoing the first price control bill, asked Attor- ney General Tom C. Clark to de- termine whether artificial shortag- es were created to defeat the price control program.
 At that time, Clark said that nothing could be done to firm, acting individually, which withheld goods from the market to await better prices.
 But he said he was having the antitrust division determine Wheth- CT there was conspiracy to create shortage with the view to tipping prices.
 Later OPA filed 54 complaints in the war emergency courts in New York against the big four packers Armour, Cudahy, Swift and Wilson charging them with forcing tie-in sales and delivery to dealers of un- wanted meat items.
 The tie-in feature of complaints received by the Justice Department against various packers throughout the nation also was being studied by the antitrust division.
 At the request of Reconversion Director John R. Steelman, the in- quiry was broadened last week to include hides and finished leather. There were complaints that these were being withheld to force an upward adjustment in prices.
 Another phase was to determine whether packers had violated fed eral laws by opening retail outlets to increase their incomes under the old price ceilings by elimination of the middleman's share in profits.

Austria AUowed Treaty Hearing

Paris, Aug. 17-UP)-The Peace Conference today, overriding Soviet objection, voted to allow Austria to treaties and invited Iran to do so also.
 The vote to admit Austria was Is to 6 with Russia and her satel- lites voting solidly against the reso- lution sponsored by Great Britain.
 The British proposal provided that Austria would be allowed to state her views on the Italian treaty under the same conditions that A. bania, Mexico, Cuba and Egypt were invited to speak.
 Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Soviet dele gate, opposed admission of Austria claiming that it would be "a waste of time"
 Austria was particularly desirous of restating her claim to South Ty- rol which was rejected by the Big Four. Big Four spokesmen each placed themselves on record as standing by the Tyrol decision but Britain, France and the United States insisted that Austria be all lowed to speak anyway,
 Stanoje Simic, YugoslaV delegate, supported the Russian position that the problem of Austria cannot be separated from that of Germany which is not to be discussed here. ,"
 Vishinsky finally suggested that if only South Tyrol was involved it would be more fitting to hear Aus tria before the commission consid- ering the Italian peace treaty
 Vishinsky denounced Austria as an "accomplice" and .one of the staunchest Allies" of Germany, a country which did not move fln- ger to help the Allies in the cor11- mon cause
 It is true that Austria and Italy have a common frontier" he said, but the draft Italian treaty before us does not intend to change the status quo of that frontier.
 Then what Is the motive of the Austrian request? It is claim against Italy, and this conference cannot concern itself with claims of one former enemy against another former enemy"
 Benjamin V. Cohen. assistant to Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, recalled that the Moscow declara- ton of 1943 recognized Austria as the first victim of Nazism and said t should be treated as liberated eountrv when the var ended. He contended that Austria could not be granted less favorable treatment here than other former enemies.
 Canada, which had refrained from taking part in the debate for 10 days to speed up the delibers- tions, renewed an appeal to the Big Four to get together of the scene of the conference" to see if some thing couldn't be done to accelerate our deliberations"

Hartford, Aug. l7-CUP) - The controversial bonus question was the major remaining issue before the annual State convention of the American Legion as the three-day session drew toward a close today.
 More than dozen resolutions dealing with the bonus were slated to come before the nearly 1000 del. egates, asking for payments of S2OO and upwards to nearly 300,00O serv- ice men and women.
