Newburyport Drops Plan
When SuppIiers Won't Cut
By the Associafed Press


NEWBURYPORT, Mass, May 90
This community has virtually
abandoned it's widely heralded 10
per cent price cutting programs
month after 1t became effective
because, merchants said, they did
not get cooperation OF suppliers.
Sponsors said they were still re-
ceiving inquiries about the plan, but
in reply they were stressing that a
10 per cent across-the-board cut
cannot be sustained until prices
come down all the way from maker
to consumer.
The Northeast Essex Development
Council, which supported the origi-
nal Today experiment, reported
that when the trial period ended
first one merchant and then an
other dropped out quietly although
it had been voted to continue in
definitely.
Almost without exception, mer-
chants said it was too costly to con-
tinue without similar cuts from sup
pliers. For example, one food store
reported it lost 500 in the expert
ment and shoe retailers said they
were unable to obtain single re-
duction from suppliers.
Shoppers still benefit, however, in
some lines because, sponsors re-
ported, manufacturers OF some prod
ucts have continued to offer reduc-
tions, particularly those supplying
the city's largest chain department
store.

Radio License Ban Urged
For Members Of CONGRESS
BY the Associated Press

Senator Mccarthy, Republican, of
Wisconsin yesterday introduced leg
islation which would prohibit mem
bers of Congress or their wives from
holding radio station licenses.
Senator Mccarthy said he was
prompted by the strong belief that
no member of Congress who by
virtue of his position passes on
appropriations and makes rules of
conduct for the Federal Communi-
cations Commission should be al
lowed to be the recipient of any
license for a radio station granted
by the Federal communications
Commission"
The Mccarthy bill also would
deny a license to any partnership
''of which any active or silent part
ner is a member of Congress or the
wife of any such member"
The measure would ban licenses
to corporations where members of
Congress or their wives are officers
or directors, or own more than one
fifth OF the capital stock. Licenses
would be denied to associations
where a member of Congress or
his wife Is an officer or director. or
where they determine the policies
of the association.

BERLIN, May 20.-Berliners to-
day predicted that the black market
price of smokes" would skyrocket
as result of the United States
Army's ban on the private impor-
tation of American cigarettes into
Germany.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American
military governor, said he heartily
approved" the ban on importations,
which had reached total of 6,0o0,-
600 cigarettes month.
"You correspondents" Gen. Clay
said in news interview, have
written that the American cigarette
is the heart of the black market.
Well, now with this embargo we
are striking at the heart.
after May 26 it will be up to
the authorities in the United States
to stop shipments of cigarettes from
there and the task of authorities
of the European command to pre-
vent arrivals here, which would
constitute smuggling.
II don't know if coffee or some
other commodity might take the
place of cigarettes and become SO
valuable as to discredit legal Ger

Political ManeuYerinq
Cuts Short Jap DIET
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, May 20.-Backstage po-
litical maneuvering limited the
opening session of Japan's first Diet
(Parliament) under the new consti-
tuition to exactly 7 minutes today.
Indecision over the premiership
for the prospective four-party coali-
ton cabinet eliminated organiza-
tional business and cut the Diet
opening short.
Political leaders scurried from
meeting to meeting attempting to
solve the last-minute barrier to
selection of Tetsu Katayama, Social
Democratic leader, as Premier.
The barrier was raised by Premier
Shigeru Yoshida who, as president
of the Liberal Party, said his group
would refuse to join the cabinet
unless Socialist leftwingers were
barred from holding any portfolios.
The Liberty Party attitude soft
ened during the day, and finally
Yoshida requested only that Social
list leftists be restrained from in
terfering with cabinet policies"
A Liberal Party spokesman
charged that unnamed Socialists
had attended Communist Party
meetings and therefore leakage OF
cabinet secrets could not be guaran-
