Meet Deorth Threatening
 Expert CIoims
 City Fomines

Washington, March 26-tUP)-A livestock expert told Congress to- day that city consumers are threat ened with the most acute meat shortage in history within the next six months.
 IT. M Conway, research director of the National Livestock Producers Association, told the House Agri- culture Committee that unless something is done, meat supplies will be extremely short or non-ex- iStent
 There will be the most chaotic situation conceivable in the mar keting and processing of livestock, ' he said.
 AS a remedy, he urged removal of all price ceilings and subsidies on livestock on June 30-present expiration date of the Price Con- trol Act He said the immediate effect of the removal of these con- trolS would be an increase in the price of high-grade cattle and a decrease in the price of poorer grades.
 "The price of higher-grade cat- tle would rise no more than l5 percent for the city consumer" he said "This would result in a price no higher than the consumer Is now paying on the black market
 Conway told the committee that under present regulations, the feed- CT simply cannot make profit on heavier, better grade cattle. He said however, that a free play in prices would result in a more equit- able price spread between high and low grade cattle.
 Anyway, he said, price controls are being ignored throughout the nation.
 Rep. Reid Murray, tR.-Wis), in- terrupted Conway to say that he was in a stock yard recently where 75 percent of the livestock were go- ing outside legitimate channels,

superintendent of the reformatory. "We have never received any formal application for the position from MT. Robinson" Senator Wal lace said today.
 Approximately nine applications for the post have been received, to date, eight from applicants within Connecticut and one outside the state.
 Equality Marked
 Each applicant will be given equal consideration, Until a per- son applies, however, we cannot and will not give any consideration to him. Reports that Comdr. Robin son is the likely choice are pre- mature and out of order in light ot our procedure, Senator Wallace added.
 The reports result from the ans nouncement made recently that in- cumbent Supt. George B. Erskine will retire in November. MT. Er- skine has already served five years beyond the minimum 25 years serv- ice required for retirement. The post pays approximately $l0,0o0 an- nually,
 Queried as to whether he himself had been considered for the post Senator Wallace declared the ques- ton to be beside the point at this time

Maniac Free In New York
 Bellevue Hospital
 Potient Escapes

New York, March 26--(UP)--- Special police details under orders to shoot to kill" sought a violent maniac today who was believed to be the only man ever to escape from the psychopathic ward of famed Bellevue Hospital.
 The madman, described as of the most violent type, was identified as Leonard Gains, 3S, a powerful six foot Negro.
 His escape this morning into the busy streets around the hospital, which is at First Avenue and 18th Street, was as violent as the movie escape from the same ward by Ray. Midland in the film, 'The Lost Weekend" was crafty.
 Gains broke the bonds which tied him to his cot, feled a male nurse. Wallace Tucker. 50, with a heavy metal chair, and terrorized woman nurse before he fled into the streets after stealing a blue coat and trousers from an outer room
 Committed by Wife
 Gains had been committed tt Bellevue last Friday at the request of his wife. and since had been kept bound because of his condition.
 Today, as Tucker worked with another patient, Gains suddenly went berserk. He broke his bonds and the entire Ward of 20 patients was thrown into screaming confu- sion as he seized the metal chair and brandished 1t about his head.
 Tucker made an effort to seize him, but was knocked down.
 A woman nurse, hearing the noise. unlocked the door of the ward. Gains rushed toward her, swinging the chair. and she lied. leaving the door open.
 Before guards could be sum- moned, Gains found the coat anc trousers on a chair in another room, exchanged his hospital gown for them, and fled into the street.
 The escape recalled the difficulty which was encountered in filming the scene in The Lost Weekend in which Midland, as drunken Dor Birnam, fled from the same ward
 In the picture, the situation was solved by having a patient in Mil lands ward go berserk just as g doctor is entering the hospital. still wearing a civilian overcoat. AS the doctor takes off his coat to aid in subduing the patient, Midland dons it and sneaks out during the ex- citement.
 In actual practice, doctors are permitted to wear only white hos pital coats in the wards to avoid just such an incident.
 Gains home, in the Bronx, was being watched by police in the be- lief he might return there.

Cleveland. March 26-(UP)- Senator Leverett Saltonstall. (R.- Mass.) has called on the State De- partment for diplomacy with realism" and with a warning that without 1t somewhere, perhaps in the Mediterranean, there may come a conflict between Russia and our- selves"
 Saltonstall spoke to the National Federation of Women's Republican Clubs last night.
 We want the Mediterranean to be free to all nations" he said. Then added that England's lifeline lis a protection to us"
 Here" he said, lis point where diplomacy must be express sed with realism. Likewise We can consider the possibility of conflicts of interest in Manchuria. Korea, and other parts of the Far East ern world. Again there must be diplomacy with realism. We must expect that Russia will want her security, and We demand our own security"
 The former governor of MaSSa- chusetts warned, we must never make statements that we are not prepared to back up
 "Russia wants peace just as much as we do. Russia wants to pro- tect her security just as much as we do. Tn seeking our mutual se- curity there are bound to arise points of conflict and that is where diplomacy with frankness, the use of machinery of the United Ma tions Organization, and 8 spirit of cooperation and patience must be had" he said.

General Motors Corp. started re- calling it's 175,000 striking workers today as mine operators attempted to prevent a nationwide soft coal strike next week with a counter proposal to the demands of the United Mine Workers (A.FL).
 More than 100000 workers were idle because of strikes and shut downs.
 While members of the United Automobile Workers (CI.O0 pre- pared to return to their jobs after 117 days on strike for higher wages, their organization was divided by ar intra-union political squabble.
 Walter P. Reuther, JAW. vice. president, who led the strike as head of the unions G.M. division, was criticised sharply by JAW. President R. J. Thomas. The bit- ter factionalism within the union which lad remained dormant dur ing the long strike broke into the open when Reuther announced he would oppose Thomas for JAW. president.
 Murray Likes Thomas
 At the JAW. convention at At lantic City, CI.O. President Philip Murray said that he would not take sides in the quarrel but referred to Thomas as "that great big guy for whom I have distinct fondness." "
 Return of the l75,00o G.M. strik- CTS would cut the number of idle workers drastically, but other ser- ious strikes threatened. C.I.O. Long Contd Page 5-(G.M. RECALLS)

 President James McGrath of the Chase Local declared today that rejection by the Chase Brass & Copper Company of a union pro- posal for settlement of the strike means that management seems to be prolonging the strike to punish its workers. The union has re- ceived no formal reply to it's pro- posal that the strike be ended im- mediately and three unsettled wage questions be submitted to an im- partial arbiter, but a company spokesman said that the offer is not acceptable.
 Stating that the arbitration offer was made by the unions negoti- ating committee in sincere eff fort to end the strike" MT, Me- Grath asked: "ls there any fairer way of settling our differences?"
 The Chase spokesman had said: We offered the union 1872 cents an hour, an offer comparable with that made by the Scovill Manufac- turing Company and the Bridge port Brass Company which the union accepted. We are not willing to arbitrate whether we will do something more because we do not wish nor think we should be eX- pected to do more than we have offered to do."
 Charles J. Hart, company pres. ident, said early this afternoon that the Chase reply to the unions proposal was being drafted at that time. Until the formal reply was sent, he said, the spokesman'S statement expressed the company! position.
 The union had offered to end the walkout If Chase would submit tt arbitration these three points: Q] effective date of the IS l-2 cent ar hour increase; (2) application o the raise to incentive workers; 6, adjustment of vacation payments in view of the strike.

 Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, who came here to conduct the American side of the debate, snapped back at once:

 Byrnes Strongly SupprOted
 Sir Alexander Cadogan, the Brit ish representative, strongly sup ported Byrnes, and insisted that complete details of the agreement be submitted to the Council.
 If an agreement has been reached both parties should be happy to come before the Council, Cadogan said
