Food Price Decline
Shown in Winter, but
Spring Rise Is Due

/, Retail food prices in 56 cities, in
Guiding washington, declined slight-
ly between January Is and Febru-
airy Is, according to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, which said it was
the third consecutive month of fall
ing prices.
Howevert the agency pointed out
that increases in wholesale food
prices since February Is would be
reflected in its March Is figures.
The decline in food prices here
was estimated at 1.3 per cent of
January IS.
Housewives in the 56 large cities
in which prices are surveyed regu-
larly paid 8 per cent less for foods
on February Is than on January Is.
The retail food price index in
mid February was 1928 per cent
of the 1858 average. This was
only per cent below the record
high of mid-November, and was 81
per cent above year ago and IS
per cent above August, 1899.
A drop Of 6 per cent in the price
of eggs, 4 per cent in dairy prod
ucts and l per cent in meats
brought about the general decrease
In the family food bill.
Retail eggs continued to decline
seaSonally. Prices of dairy products
dropped in all cities, with decreases
of more than per cent for butter
and fresh milk.
Meat prices were forced down.
ward by drop of S per cent for
poultry and fish, 2 to 9 per cent for
cured pork products and smaller
decreases for beef and lamb. How
ever, fresh pork went up per cent
and veal per cent.
Fresh fruits and vegetables COM
bined rose per cent during the
month, but the canned products
were nearly l per cent lower-the
first price decline since last June.
The bureau said that among the
Sc cities retail food prices were lower
in "a cities, higher in IA and ap-
proximately the same in 8. The
greatest regional declines occurred
in New England cities.

ports OF these items. the government
has encouraged Turkish industry to
produce them. The output is ade-
quate and of satisfactory quality.
Custom authorities shut their eyes
when small quantities of vintage
brandy and Scotch whisky are
smuggled into the country. They
apparently 60 on the theory that
any one who is willing to pay $25 or
$50 for a quart of Scotch ought to
be permitted to squander his money.
Turks Are Frugal.
Turks of all classes are frugal
people. The shops in Ankara have
no such display of luxuries as can
be seen in the capitals Of the bank
rupt western countries. The reason
for this is that there are no buyers
for the expensive flneries which are
to be found in every large city, in
France, Italy or Spain. :
The shop windows of any Ameri-
can city of 10000 inhabitants would
put to shame the main shopping
district Of the Turkish capital. But
In the few days that I have been
here have heard no one complain
thst he can get sugar, butter, bread
or meat only by paying several times
the regular price.
The stores are well stocked with
all kinds Of native foods, meat and
flour. What used to be imported
from Switzerland, Germany, Britain,
France or the United States is now
manufactured domestically as much
as possible. What cannot be pro-
duced domestically simply is not
available.
Automobile tires and other me-
chanical goods are almost ex-
elusive American made. They are
plentiful, but the purchaser must
have government priority. Pref
erence is given those whose cars
were requisitioned by the army dur
ing the war, when Turkey was TAX
ing precautions to ward off invasion.
Life in Turkey is simple, almost
primitive. But the poor are not
starving while the rich eat. Turkey
is still a paternalistic authoritarian
republic which after Is years is
moving gradually toward limited
democracy.

Action on Refugee Aid
May Delay LilienihaI
Fiqht in Senate Today
BY the Asseeio,sd Press

The Senate, barely begun on
its long-awaited Lilienthal de-
bate, appeared likely today to
shove the issue aside once again
this time in favor of emergency
refugee legislation.
Senator Hickenlooper, Republican,
of Iowa finally called up the Atomic
Energy Commission nominations
late yesterday.
But before he could even complete
his opening statement; the appoint
ment OF David B. Lilfenthal as COM
mission chairman encountered brisk
opposition from both sides of the
aisle.
There was every indication of long
and argumentative debate.
However, before the nominations
reached the floor, Chairman VAN
denberg of the Foreign Relations
Committee announced that the refu-
gee legislation must be acted upon
Immediately and would be given
priority today.
Hence the atomic dispute seemed
sure to be set back several hours If
not the entire day.
President Truman sent the NOM
ination of Mr.. Lilienthal and the
other four members Of the commits
sion to the Senate January 30. After
nearly six weeks Of hearings, they
were approved by Senator Hicken-
looper's Atomic Energy Committee,
but were held up more than a week
by debate on the portal pay bill.
Eventual approval of the entire
commission was indicated on the
basis of an Associated Press poll.
Forty-nine Senators, more than the
necessary majority, have said they
plan to vote for Mr.. Lilienthal, and
most of the fire in the hearings was
concentrated on him rather than
the other appointees.
Nevertheless, Senator Hickenloop-
er found himself In a dispute from
the start yesterday when he urged
Mr.. Lilienthal's confirmation.
No Senator took immediate issue
with his declaration that Mr.. Lilien-
thai is neither Communist nor a
fellow traveller. Instead the opposi-
ton sought to belittle the nominees
record as chairman of the Tennessee
Valley Authority and criticized his
relations with Congress.
The four other appointees up for
confirmation are w. w. Waymack,
L. L. Strauss, Robert F. Bacher and
Sumner T. Pike. The Senate also
must pass on the nomination of
Carroll L. Wilson as general man
ager of the commission.

u. n. Trusteeship Unit
To Open Even il Reds
Fail 10 Name DELEGATE
By the Assoeiassd Press

LAKE SUCCESS. Mar. 25.--Rus-
.sia's continued delay. In naming a
representative to the United Ma
tions Trusteeship Council gave rise
today to widespread speculation
that the Soviet Union might ignore
the opening session OF that major
u. N. agency tomorrow. .
Soviet Deputs Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Gromyko, when asked
whether Russia would have a trus-
teeship delegation on hand, replied:
IT have nothing to say" Other
Russian sources gave terse mo-
comment" ...,-. .as,.
y. N. officials, pointing out that
the Russians often had been among
the last to name their representa-
tives to various agencies, still hoped
that a delegate would be designated
by tomorrow. It was pointed out
further that Russia's two outstand-
ing trusteeship experts, Ambassador
Nikolai v. Novikov and Prof. Boris
Stein, are both in Moscow at present.
Membership Unaffected.
Law experts OF the U. N. said
the failure Of Moscow to send a
representative to the opening session
would have no legal effect on the
Council. last major organ Of the
world organization to be set up.
They explained that Russia, as
one of the five permanent members
Iof the Security Council, was auto
matically member Of the trustee
ship body under the U. N. Charter
and that if she failed to name a
representative she would merely be
recorded as absent.
Under this Interpretation. the
Council would be able to proceed
with its work, but 1t was generally
conceded that a boycott by Russia
would come as blow. to those who
hope to see the Council take a lead
ing role in the broad U. N. picture.
Lie to Open Session.
Tomorrow'S session will be opened
by Secretary General Trygve Lie.
This will be his first public appear
ance since before President Truman
proposed that the United States give
S400, 100000 aid to Greece and
Turkey. AS a result there had been
some speculation that Mr.. Lie might
make a reference to the Presidents
move, which has caused considerable
concern in U. N. circles.
, Mr.. Lies associates, however, said
he did not plan to refer to the
Greek Turkish situation in any way,
and added that his speech would be
devoted almost exclusively to prob
lens of the Trusteeship Council.
