WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-lR-The National Labor Relations Board ruled today that the Taft Hartley law does not require non Commun- ist affidavits from AFL and CIO sop officers. Robert Denham, NLRB counsel, who had taken contrary view, said he would abide by the boards decision.
 Denham's stand removed the pos sibility of conflict between him and the board in administration of the law. This possibility had appeared because the law gives Denham, rather than the board, the final word as to what charges of unfair

WASHINGTON Oct. 7--tR-"Des- sertless' and "butterless" days have been suggested to the Truman food committee but the idea has been shelved for the time being. Today was meatless day, but is not gener- ally being observed because of too short a notice.
 Although offers of voluntary CO., operation in the drive to save an extra 100.000,000 bushels of grain for Europe poured into the White House, responsible officials said the first real test of the program | yet to come.
 They said the campaign still is too new to expect 100 percent pub lie observance. The full effective ness of the drive can be gauged only after every American has been impressed with the importance of his efforts. officials said
 ''Eata" For Truman The President set the standard which he expects the nation to fol- low when the White House sched- uled cheese souffle for lunch and broiled salmon steak for dinner to- day.
 For eggiess and poultryless Thurs day, the President will have luncheon of peppers stuffed with rice and mushrooms. The dinner will feature baked ham.
 MT. Truman's frontal attack on high prices bore its first real fruits when the Kansas City, Chicago and Minneapolis grain exchanges boost cd their margin requirements on grain future deals to a full one third
 The action was complete surren- der by the exchanges which pre- vicusly had insisted that it was suf- ficient to raise margins only as grain prices went up. It came in the face of direct threat by the President to clamp severe restric- tions on grain trading if the ex- changes did not comply. The seven other major grain markets were expected to follow suit soon.

More than half the way the ice

For 400 miles the trackless expanse

decrease so the ships could sail most
