Senator McGrath suggested that

Senator Cain, however, replied
that, while this could have been
done, the joint committee felt the

WHO SAYS THE WAR Is

WHO SAYS THE WAR IS
OVER? - Enforcement of rent
controls in the Wilmington area,
embracing four counties, ap-
pears to be dependent on wheth-
er or not the late World War
II is officially over or not. j. r.
Hollis, chairman of the local
rent control board, says that for
the time being rent controls in
the area will be enforced.
The Wilmington Real Estate
board has passed a resolution
asking that rent controls in the
area be terminated, Hollis re-
called, but his board has re-
ceived no copy of the resolution,
he said. A Federal court has
ruled that the act under which
rent control agencies operate is
invalid, because Congress has
no right to enforce emergency
measures in peacetime. The
question, however. is whether
or not this is peacetime. Mean
while, until final adjudication is
handed down, the rent controls
are still on.

Hostile Action
Claimed In Note
Moscow Charges Govern.
ment With Treachery
In Breaking Accord

MOSCOW, NOV. 21.-UD-
Russia has warned Iran that its
cancellation of an oil agreement
with the Soviet Union constitutes
hostile action and that its gov
ernment must bear responsible
ity for the consequences, it was
announced today.
Russian Ambassador I. V. Sad
chikov delivered to the 1ranian
Foreign Office in Tehran yes
terday an angry note which said:
"The Iranian government has
treacherously broken obligations
which it had taken upon itself.
''The Soviet government car
not ignore that the decision OF
the Mails (parliament) In
view of the preservation of
British oil concession in South
ern Iran, is an act of rude dis
elimination toward the Soviet
Union.
ION the basis of the above the
Soviet government declares
resolute protest against the
aforementioned hostile actions
of the Iranian government toward
the Soviet Union-Incompatible
with normal relations between
two states-and places respon-
sibility for the consequences Of
this upon the Iranian govern
ment."
There was no hint what Russ
las next step might be in a
situation which brought the
United Nations Security Coun-
Gil its first great crisis and
caused the famous walkouts of
Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gro
myko.
Premier Ahmad Ghavam of
Iran agreed on April 4, 1916, to
a 50-year agreement giving

But his associates who had ar.

accompanied him, were pre-.
pairing to meet some dramatic
and distasteful Russian "sur'
prise" as soon as talks started
on the German peace treaty.
They believed Russia might
demand either that the Ger

is no German government - be
brought into the peace talks or
that allied troops get out Of Ger

A distressing" shortage of meat
beginning in February was fore
cast today by Secretary of Agri-
culture Anderson.
''Meat is going to be Distress
ingly short for February, March,
April and May, and possibly
June should be added" he told
the joint Senate-House Economic
committee.
"We are likely to have higher
prices then" he added.
He appeared in connection with
President Truman's anti-infla-
ton proposals.
Anderson said, however, that
unless there is disastrous
wheat crop" next year there will
be no general shortage of food
in the United States. His state
ment took into account the pro-
posed food aid shipments to Eu-
rope.
Americans meat consumption,
now averaging some 1856 pounds
per person annually, will be re-
duced to about 1875 pounds, he
predicted.
Short To October
Meat is likely to be somewhat
hard to find in sufficient quanti-
ties until next October or Mo-
vember, he said. By that time.
grass fed livestock is expected to
be reaching the market.
Anderson told the lawmakers
that if the wheat crop failed,
immediate efforts would be made
to stimulate the production Of
potatoes, soy beans and other
such foods. NE
The cabinet officer asked
sweeping authority to tighten
controls over trading in grain and
other foods by raising margin
requirements as high as 100 per
cent. ,.,uet
He also declared that the au-
