Byrnes Calls for u. S. Showdown

Urges Measures Of Last Resort Against
Russians if They Keep Troops in Germany

Mr.. Byrnes also gives the story
behind his threat to resign as Sec
retary Of State before Henry A.
Wallace departed from the Tru-
man administration. The former
Secretary told the President he could
not remain-even temporarily-in

Mr.. Byrnes' proposal that the
United States press the dispute over
Germany to a final result comes in

what Mr.. Byrnes finds to be Russia's S

ures which might be used not only
by bakers but by housewives, retail
ers and restaurants.
"The figure is astronomical and
impossible for bakers alone" the
spokesman said.
@. p. Binner, president OF the
association, did not discuss the
Luckman figure, but said bakers
were already at the bottom of the
barrel In grain saving efforts.
Move Policy Shifts Promised.
The Luckman committee, having
eased the rules for "meatless Tues
q, US" to encourage use of such by
products as liver and kidneys on
that day of the week, promised fur
ther shifts in policy any time some
body thinks up a better and faster
way to save grain"
Mr.. Luckman, said he does not
want the people ito feel that this
is an ironclad program and not sub
ject to change"
The brewers planned to outline
their grain-saving ideas to MIR. Luck
man during the day in reply to his
demand for "a reasonably substan-
tial reduction" in the use of wheat
and corn for beer and ale.
Have Definite Program"
A high industry official who
asked that his name not be used
said the group would offer Mr..
Luckman "a definite program" The
chairman had expressed dissatis-
faction with previous pledges by
the United States Brewers Founda-
tion and the Small Brewers Com
mittee to:
l. Recommend to individual
brewers that they eliminate use of
wheat and table grades of rice.
2. Ask them to release all wheat
stocks on hand or under contract.
Brewers use relatively little wheat.
Mr.. Luckman said yesterday that
the brewing industry had shown q
very cooperative attitude in pre-
liminary talks and that he ex-
pected it to make some definite
commitment within a day or two.
At a press conference following
the second meeting of the full 26-
Man Conservation Committee, Mr..
Luckman made these other points:
l. The group has relaxed the
meatless Tuesdays program to the
extent of approving increased use
of meat by-products ION Tuesdays
as well as on other days"
By-Products Listed.
He listed these by-products,
which "are in plentiful supply and
can be used freely" as liver, kid
neys, brains, sweetbreads, hearts,
pigs feet and pigs knuckles, tripe,
oxtails and tongue.
2. There are two schools Of
thought" about the effectiveness of
serving no eggs or poultry on Thurs
days as grain conservation mea-
sure. The committee is studying
that problem, but at present mo
change in the program is antici-
pated."

Dan Duryea's coming back to town and bringing June Vincent and Peter Lorre with him.
 The new merchant of menace, who lit a new high for feminine fan mail on the strength of his work in Woman in the Window and Scarlet Street. will be starred for the first time in Universals s Black Angel" which opens at the Capitol Theatre tonight. The melodrama initiates a some what new field for Duryea. AL though he is still heavy and manages to throw his weight around with considerable authority, he does not have a chance at TO- mantle scenes with Miss Vincent in which he neither slaps nor kicks her. In fact, she is undecided about Duryea and he is seemingly unable to do anything about it. Action piles on action in the film, which has one of the most notable surprise endings ever given a mo- tion picture.
 Miss Vincent returns to the screen and stardom after time off to have a baby. Lorre again comes through with one of those per tormances which have made him one of the most sought-after stars in Hollywood.
 Others in the cast, all chosen carefully by Universal to provide outstanding support for Duryea in his first starring role under it's banner, are Frederick Crawford, Constance Bowling, Wallace Ford, Hobart Cavanaugh and Freddie Steele.
