|U-boat Commander Declared Guilty

Hamburg, Oct. 16-(UP)--A Brit ish war crimes court today con- victed German submarine com mander. Otto Moehle, of ordering massacre of survivors of torpedoed ships.
 He immediately was sentenced to five years in prison.

COP BIomes Meat Crisis On Truman
 Political Tilt
 Roses While More
 Controls Hacked

Washington, Oct. Is - (UP) - Government agencies hacked away at remaining wage-price controls today while Republicans angrily flung blame for the meat crisis back at President Truman. In a bitingly sarcastic reply to the President, COP. National Chairman Carroll Reece denied MT. Truman's charges that the short age was forced upon the country by a reckless congressional group led by Republican Sens. Robert A. Taft, O., and Kenneth s. Wherry, Neb.
 Reece reminded the President that Democrats and not Repubn- cans dominated Congress when 1t passed the price control bill which MT. Truman described as unwork- able when he decontrolled meat.
 Asking pointedly whether meat controls would be restored if the Democrats remained in control of Congress, Reece said only election of Republican lawmakers on Nov. could protect the people against such bureaucratic" confusion The political battle ragged on as | the government took new steps to increase meat supplies and remove the bonds of wartime controls from the nations traditionally free econ omy.
 These were the principal develop ments:

 antine Keeping thousands of
 heads of Mexican cattle out of
 this country would be lifted at

 this country.
 2. Secretary of Agriculture
 Clinton P. Anderson predicted
 substantial improvement" in
 the amount of meat in retail
 stores within two weeks.
 3. Deputy OPA Chief Geof-
 frey Baker said the task of re-
 moving price ceilings from hun
 dreds of non-essential items
 would be completed by Nov. l,
 a month earlier than originally planned. Controls on both new
 and used cars would be retained indefinitely, he said. 4. A group of prominent sen- ators called on OPA to give landlords higher rent ceilings; if 1t isn't done by the time Con- gress reconvenes in January,
 they said, they will introduce
 legislation to force increases. 5. President Truman studied
 the future of wage stabilizatio in light of report pronounc- ing wage controls dead and
 urging that stabilization be left
 to collective bargaining between labor and management. The
 recommendations were made by the Reconversion Advisory Board.

stock receipts, which last week
ran about IS percent below the pre-

10 percent this week.
A survey of the nations cities
brought from everywhere the
same report: little or no fresh
meat" In some cities, even cold
cuts were hard to find in normal
channels. Poultry and fish, how
ever, were relatively plentiful.
The National Association of Re-

the nations butcher shops had
closed their doors. Those operat-

were open but had little or no
meat, the association said.
