 LID OF FISH
 PRICES HERE
Ceilings No Higher ihan Last Year Announced
 for Alaska Catches

Controls on sales .sof Alaska caught fish will be continued at prices no higher than those estab- lished last season, according to a statement coming today from the Alaska Office of Price Administra- tion's territorial headquarters at Juneau.
 In commenting on the statement, George Rogers, OPAs Territorial Price Executive. went on to explain. At the close of last season decon- trol was under consideration when for 8 time it was felt that plentiful supplies would cause easing of mar kst and justify possible suspension of ceilings. But since that time world shortages of foods have in creased, particularly proteins such as fish and beef, making it neces- sary to continue fish price con- trols for the present at least, or until market experts can see an end to the present shortage condi- tion."
 As to justification of the present fish price level fish ceilings particu- larly in Alaska stand at Q much higher percent over prewar levels than in any similar products field, according to Rogers statement.
 With present Alaska ceilings much higher than average 1922 prices to fishermen in Alaska, it will be necessary for them to clear ly establish any claims that op- erating costs have since increased out of ratio with their increased earnings before OPA can consider any upward adjustment within the present price structure Rogers added

 0PA Prices

SEATTLE, April l7.-The halibut men of the Deepsea Fishermen's Union tInd) have voted l76 to 36 against strike proposed as a pro- test of Office of Price Adlninistra- ton refusal to raise halibut ceiling prices.
 Canadian fishermen were watch ing the Seattle returns and were expected to follow the local lead. Strike votes were being taken at union branches in Ketchikan, Pe- tersburg and Juneau, Alaska, but their total could not affect the Seattle decision, said union off, cials.
 Our men will be on the fishing banks when the season opens May l, said union secretary Harold Grotle.
 The fishermen at recent hear ing asked an increase of at least 20 percent in the ceilings of IT cents a pound for medium halibut and i6 cents for large and small fish. They based the request on in- ;reases in operating costs.

(HIEFTAIN0 OF BLOOD REIGN
 FACES COURT
Alfred Rosenberg, Phil osopher of Ndzi Regime,
 Now Before Tribunal

NUREMBERG, April 17.-Alfred Rosenberg. hitherto known as the philosopher of the Nazi Party. was depicted by prosecutors before the International Military Tribunal to- day as the chief of bloody ad- ministration which sent millions of Russians to death or slave labor.
 Under cross examination by U. S. Prosecutor Thomas J. Dodd and Russian Prosecutor R. A. Rudenko, Rosenberg acknowledged that he had ordered the conscription for slave labor for hundreds of thou sands of eastern Europeans and that executives of his ministry were active directors of the exter- imitation of eastern European Jews.
 The prosecutors presented docu- ment after document taken from Rosenberg's files which added to the story of butchery of Jews 10000 in two days in the city of Minsk alone, the prosecution said. Rosenberg blamed his subordinates, including Gauleiter Birch Rock.
 Rosenberg acknowledged that terrible excesses" had been com- mitted in carrying out the program of slave labor conscription, but he sought to justify himself with the assertion that T always tried to alleviate the worst conditions"

STAMPEDE E pREDI(TEDBY
 HEAD OF 0pA
That Is, If Present Control System Breaks Down
 in Nation

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Prict Administrator Paul Porter said to- day breakdown of the present price control system can panic the na- tions consumers into a stampede Of costly spending.
 The breakdown danger, he said lis a real and frightening possi- bility."
 There already :. 8 rapidly spreading belief among business men, Porter asserted in testimony prepared for the Senate Banking Committee, that Congress will either scuttle price control com pletely or take action which will compel OPA to raise prices dras- tically."
 Should that belief spread to the consuming public. he added, "the stampede will be on"
 Porter testified in the Senate wing of the Capitol as the House called for votes on what to dc about the price agency. Congres- sional friends of President Tru- man were frankly alarmed over the outcome
 The Administration has beer seeking a full year extension be- yond June 30 with present controls left intact.

Sdgging to Wartime Ra lion LeveIs-GIoomy
 Outlook Is Given

WASHINGTON, April IT. = The nations meat supply is sagging to wartime ration levels and may stay there until early fall
 This situation was disclosed by the Agriculture Department in a statement on how it will divide de- clining supplies during the April June quarter among civilians, the armed forces, and needy areas abroad.
 The per capita civilian meat sup ply at least until July l is expected to be at annual average rate cf l32 pounds (carcass weight basis), as compared with the 147-poun1 annual rate available d1ring the first three months of the year.
 In 1943 when wartime meat ra- tioning was inaugurated, the aver age for civilian supplies was l36 pounds annually
 This adverse forecast on .>-e meat outlook coincided with an ap- peal from Herbert H. Lehman for renewal of consumer rationing if this country is to meet it's fa- mine relief commitments abroad.
 The former Director General of UNRRA charged the government with faulty planning and unrealis- tic measures" in seeking to cope with the world food crisis. He said abandonment of rationing in this country after V-J day was "a most unfortunate decision"

Friendly lawmakers to Garry issues 10 Defeat
 CI0-PAC Demands

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Signs appeared today that President Tru- man intends to carry his legislative right to the people through friend " lawmakers as the CIO-PAC de- manded defeat for those who op- pose his program.
 Capitol Hill Democrats speculat- ed that a White House conference yesterday with half dozen Sen- ators may have been the tipoff that the President is briefing members of Congress on his objec- tives in the hope they will bear down on those issues in their elec- tion campaigns.
 The CIO Politica. Action Con- mittee's cafl for the defeat of Dem- ocrats and Republicans who op- pose what it termed the Peoples Program" came as southern Demo- crats who have no love for the la bor- political organization arranged to caucus tonight.
 Leaders of the caucus move said they expect a committee to be formed to tell Chairman Robert E Hannegan in unmistakable terms that they want the Democratic National Committee to support all party members, without regard to their views on legislation.
 That is precisely what the Politi- cal Action Committee made it plain it does not want. It said in state ment that voters ought to measure the record of every candidate against a 17-point program ant 9cppose those who have forfeited the peoples confidence by theii failure to act on the peoples in- terest"
 Chairman Sidney Hillman tolt reporters the CIO-PAC hopes to be a factor in "at least" 100 Congress sional districts this fall, but he die not name any of them.

 REPLIES TO
 CRITICISM
Hunf|y Tells Russia, Others of F0ur-PoWer Council,
 Where 10 Head In

TOKYO, April 17.-General Mac Arthur replied to Russian criticism by bluntly telling the four-power Allied council today that conssd- eration of his past actions in ad- ministering Japan was no part of it's job.
 And his military government off cer asserted that Russias question ing of Allied occupation policy, whether in good faith or not is a warning that success of the occupation is threatened"
 Macarthur told the council in a written statement that its "respon- sibility, being exclusively advisory and consultative, does not involve a review of action heretofore taken in the administration of Japan
 Comply With Purge
 His military government officer, Brig. Gen. Courtney Whitney, said the Japanese government was con- plying with the purge directive "as fast as consistent with occupation policies"
 Macarthur also replied to a Russian request that new election be held if an "undesirable" diet were chosen in last Wednesday, balloting. He indicated some sue cessful candidates would be inves- tigated further, and added.
 Tt is essential. that the Supreme Commander issue no statement and avoid any action which might seem to bring pressure for or against any particular party CT group"
 Another Request Rejected
 Macarthur also declined request for drafts of Imperial rescripts government legislative acts and or ders of the ministers and minis tries at least 10 days prior to issu- ance. ITO require such delay of the Japanese government, he said would but cause practical suspen- sion of it's administrative functions.
 Russian charges that certain un- desirable persons were not being removed from office and that characterization of Japan was thus endangered, brought brusque re-

The W ashington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Inside reason why the Russians are pulling wires to have the capital of the United Nations moved back to sleepy Gen. eva is that American public opinion has been too powerful a champion of smaller nations.
 So the Russians have been work ing behind the scenes to corral votes in favor of the Geneva transfer and can count on Jugoslavia, Czechoslo- vakia, Poland and France However, they can't count on the British, who once favored a European capital, but now are 100 percent sold that American opinion is one of their best allies.
 The Russians also can't count on the Latin Americans. In the old days, Pan-American diplomats low ed Iolling in Paris most of the time and turning up in Geneva a few days of the week. Today, however, Paris is one of the most uncomfort- able places in the world, Geneva is short of food, and New York is far more pleasurable.
 The Russians. who originally fa- yored an American city as the U. N. Capital, now consider this a serious mistake. They dislike the fact that American newspapers publish columns and columns of fron.-page news on every move made by the Russians, and they figure that American newsmen at Geneva would sit drowsily in the Swiss cafes drinking beer, or spend weekends in the Swiss Alps.
 In Europe, they also believe, no photographer or newspaper would have the energy to trail Ambassa- cor Gromyko on his famous and circuitous trip around New York city when he almost stopped in at the Security Council meeting, but didn't.
