u. 5. Agrees 10 Talk!
With Britain, France
On Reich Production
Action Seen as Victory
For BidouIt's Protest
On Industry Plan
By the Associated Press

The United States agreed
yesterday to an early American
British meeting with France to
receive and study French views
on the Anglo American plan for
increasing industrial production
in Western Germany.
The American action is considered
a diplomatic triumph for French
Foreign Minister Bidault, who pro-
tested against the industry plan last
month.
Participants in the conference will
be England, France and the United
States.
No date has been set for the talks
British and American delegations
are scheduled to meet here Tues.
day to discuss methods for increas-
ing Ruhr coal production.
. Agreement Is Disclosed.
The United States agreement to
the conference was disclosed by the
State Department with release of a
note from Secretary of State Mar
shall to Mr.. Bidault. This note also
disclosed that the American Govern
ment is prepared to receive and
discuss the French views" on man.
agement and control of the Ruhr
coal mines with the French and
British governments.
The injection of the coal mine
control issue into the negotiations
with the French indicated that the
United States and Britain are near
agreement, if in fact they have not
already reached an accord, on coal
mine control.
The mines are in the British zone
which was merged economically with
the American zone early this year.
There have been reports that the
British and American governments
had about decided on placing man
agement of the pits under a
German board chosen both from
the British and the American zone.
Stcci SHOFtdge Clted.
Today's development was the
latest in long series beginning in
mid-July when reports from Berlin
indicated that British and Ameri-
can zone authorities had reached
substantial agreement on a plan tc
lift the level of German industry
to approximately 100000 or H.
600 900 tons of steel annually. Pres.
ent steel output is less than hall
that.
The French protested that any
such British American move at this
time, without adequate regard tc
French views on revival Of German
industry, probably would wreck ef.

plan for the economic revival Of
Europe.

BY The Asseeioted Press
Delegates from the 81 Ameri-
can Republics meet in Rio de
Janeiro Friday to negotiate an
Inter American Mutual Defense
Treaty amid rising criticism of
the United Nations and mount
ing fears of communism in Lat
in America.
The treaty is designed to bring
all the military resources of the
hemisphere into play when any one
Of the 81 countries is attacked or
threatened.
In the words Of Alberto Lleras
Camargo, director general of the
Pan American Union, the treaty
promises to be the strongest and
most comprehensive agreement of
solidarity" in the history OF the
Americas.
Developments In the last SO hours
tend to clear the atmosphere of
uncertainty on two important pre-
conference questions-the principle
of unanimity in determining col
lective action and the apparent
solution of Cuba's differences with
the United States on sugar quotas.
Argentine Stand Softens.
On the first subject dispatches
from Buenos Aires said yesterday
Argentine Foreign Minister Juan
Bramuglia declared his government
was willing to let the majority of
the conferees reach a decision.
The Argentine statement of will
ingness to compromise its reported
original stand for unanimity, was
held especially important since Raul
Fernandes. the Brizilian foreign
minister and chief delegate OF the
host nation. had said the question
was the most serious one" the
delegates would face.
Diplomatic sources feel there is
good reason to believe Argentina
will now support a proposal that
would require only a two-thirds
vote Of all nations on a decision to
take collective action to aid any
other hemisphere republic subject
to attack. If the unanimity thesis
were to prevail it would mean that
one country could exercise veto
power over the will of the 20 other
republics
Cuba Reassured.
The signing by President Truman
Friday of the 1948 sugar act, the
quota provisions of which had
caused Cuba to threaten to boycott
the conference, was accompanied
by a letter to Mr.. Truman from
Secretary of State Marshall assur-
ing the President the legislation was
no threat to the sugar supplying
nations of the Western Hemis-
phere.
The background of world politics
against which the Rio conference is
being held gives the treaty added
significance over its original inten-
ton.
The conference was first sched-
uled for October 1945 to negotiate
the treaty for two main purposes:
1.Replace the act of Chapultepec.
a wartime arrangement for putting
down actual hemisphere aggression
and dealing with threats of aggres-

disaster.
Dissatisfaction Reported.
Most London. newspapers carried
stories reporting dissatisfaction
among Laborites with Mr.. Attlee,s

the ministers decide to postpone or
water down the naturalization
scheme, Mr.. Bevan Is likely to leave

destroy a sinner, both sola and body.
Matthew 1928; "And fear not them
which kin the body, but are not able
to Kill the soul: but rather fear him
which is able to destroy both soul and
body in hell"
Q.-Is the millennium still coming,
and what is it?
A. Yes, the millennium is coming,
and it means A thousand years. The
word millennium" is not found in
the Bible. This period begins at the
second coming of Christ and ends
with the second resurrection, which is
that of the wicked. (See Revelation
20)
Q.-lsn't there a prophecy which
Gays that Just before the end Of time
the world will revert to ignorance and
barbarism?
A.-On the contrary, there is pro
phecv of a great increase of knowl.
edge and world travel in the last days.
Daniel 1874: But thou, o Daniel, shut
up the words, and seal the book, even
TO the time of the end: many shan
run to and fro, and knowledge shall

Q.-I listen to your broadcasts and

Marshall Maintaining

MOSCOW, Mar. 13.-Prospects fo1
agreement on such major four power
controversies as the unifcation OF
Germany paled today as the worlds
statesmen anxiously awaited Rus
clan reaction to President TrumaH's
declarations on Greece and Turkey
Top American diplomats said Sec
retary of State Marshall was deter
mined henceforth to keep American
foreign policy on the offensive. But
as the Council of Foreign Ministers
prepared for its fourth session, top
conference sources said the Amer
leans might have to face the reality
of split Germany.
These informants said American
policy never would accept this as a
permanent condition, but that the
United States, Britain and France
might have to deal for a long time
with a de facto divided Germany
Gen. Marshall's reported decision
to retain the offensive from here on
in was one charged with vital i'm
.plications for the outcome of this
conference. In the development OF
the determination, the informants
said, a major part was played by the
declaration of the President, in
which he urged Congress to send
$400 900, 900 to Greece and Turkey
and asserted that Communists were

Pork Prices Decrease
4 10 6 Gents a Pound
In Most Stores Here
Demand Drops as Buyers
Resistance Continues;
Bacon, Ham Steady

Decreases, OF 4 to 6 cents q
pound since last week on fresh
pork were quoted in most Dis
trict food stores today, with
buyers resistance getting most
of the credit for the decline.
The price OF 50 cents a pound for
fresh loin roasts in some of the
larger chain stores compared with
an average OF about IS cents last
Thursday.
Rib end pork roasts were down,
on the average, from about SO cents
to SIS cents, while today's price OF
rib end pork chops ranged from 81
to SO cents, as compared with 81
to 63 cents week ago.
Bacon and Ham Unchanged.
Bacons, hams and other types of
pork which do not deteriorate
rapidly were about the same as
during the past three weeks. Sau-
sages ranged from unchanged to
about @ cents below prices of last
week.
It was explained that store-to-
store variations from prevailing
levels of pork prices were due to
specific causes-usually that fact
that a particular store was making
a leader" of some particular item.
"We're taking loss of about II
cents on pork roast" was the frank
assertion of one store operator who
refused to be identified.
1t was the consensus of operators
that the buyers resistance resulting
in today's price break started crys-
tallizing about a month ago. At that
time, it was recalled, hog receipts al
packing houses started falling of
Some of the packers were quoted as
predicting that many pork prices
would rise above 81 pound within
a few weeks from that time.
Pork Demand Falls Off.
Operators here agreed there was
an almost immediate falling of in
demand for fresh pork. They were
unanimous in saying that pork sup
plies still are below normal. They
