ton in the Fritz case was taken
several months ago, after pres
entation of a special audit of
Hudson school funds showing
that Fritz had juggled his pay
rolls in order to pay extra COM
pensation to teachers for over
time work and pay his wife
for working in the school office.
On the basis of the audit, the
Board voted to revoke Fritz
teaching certificate. which auto
matically barred him from
holding a teaching position in
the schools of this state.
Teachers Hit Action
In the months that have fol-
lowed the State Boards action

cate, thousands of teachers all
over the state, have gone on rec
ord condemning the action and
recommending that the next
General Assembly shear the

Meat RatiOning


Sen. Ralph E. Flanders, r.,
VT, meantime called for tighter
voluntary rationing of meat to
ward-off a long-range price in
crease. He suggested that per-
sons eating more than their
share be branded as TRAITORS"
and "public enemies.
Anderson said he thought
pric econtrols might work with
out rationing because the 1948
meat supply, although 10
pounds per person below a st
years supply, fought to be al
most sufficient.
The cabinet committee said in
statement that next years to-
tai food supplies will be about
four per cent below this years
but still IA per cent above pre-
war days.
The Labor Department a d
| that last weeks wholesale
prices on 900 basic commodities
were 149 per cent above last
November, 1916, and only about
four per cent below the all-time
record set shortly after the end
Of World War I.
Food prices declines "frac-
tionally" as a result of the drop
in meat prices, it said. But
prices for farm products rose
90 per cent with grain, eggs,
apples, potatoes and cotton
showing the way. Commodities
other than farm products, in
Guiding iron and steel, went up
the average 0.4 per cent.
Ration In Pounds
Flanders plan for voluntary
meat rationing, which he said
he will submit to Secretary of
Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson
next week, calls on the admin
istration to specify weekly ra-
tions in pounds of meat for
adults and children and the size
for portions in ounces to
be served in restaur ants and ho-
tells.
He said anyone taking more
than his fair share should be
branded cas- traitor and pub
lie enemy-I can scarcely find
any words that should not be
applied tn him.

and to do what we can to check
the spiraling of costs and prices.
1t is with this in mind that in

Britain-France Sign Alliance Treaty

LONDON, (P)- Foreign Secre- tary Ernest Bevin announced agreement on British-French treaty of alliance in the House of Commons today.
 Bevin said he and French for eign minister Georges Bidault would sign the treaty next Tues day at Dunquerque.
 Ut is evidence of the bonds of friendship" between the two coun- tries, he said.
 Dunquerque has special signifi- canoe to the two countries as a scene of horror and defeat result ing from attempted wartime CO., operation that fell short of it's goal of stopping the Germans in 1940.
 Anthony Eden, conservat e former foreign minister, congrat- ulated Bevin for concluding the new alliance.
 "Close and enduring friendship between the two nations is a con- tribution to world peace," Eden said, adding that members of the House would all be with MT Bevin in spirit at Dunquerque."
 The House members cheered.
 Bevin's announcement did not include a delineation of the terms of the treaty, which was agreed upon in principle last month while Leon Blum, then French premier, was here for talks with Bevin and Prime Minister Attlec.

$l-A-POund Pork Chops! "No!"

WASHINGTON, (P)-The agri- culture department today dis counted today talk of S1-a-pound pork chops with an assertion that housewives won't stand for it.
 Skyrocketing hog prices merely reflect a seasonal decline in mar ketable animals, said Charles L. Harlan, department livestock price specialist.
 And he told a reporter he ex- poets consumer resistance-meant housewives with their dander up to force downturn in those prices soon.
 Department economists held to their contention that food price levels reached their postwar peak last October, after most govern ment controls were removed.
 Tt is possible that prices during the first half of the year may hold their own, or increase very slight ly,' said James P. Gavin, farm and food price economist. But we see no. possibility of their climbing back to anywhere near the peak of last October"
 Some foods already have declin- ed in cost since the first of the year and further decreases are ex- pected. In this class are fluid milk, butter, cheese. evaporated m k, dry milk, eggs, poultry, fresh and frozen fish, fresh and processed 1 vegetables, and canned fruits.
 The departments economic. bureau, in a recent food situation report, predicted a downturn in prices of better grades of beef in the spring and summer, when marketings of cattle now on grain feed should increase.
 With large slaughter in pros pect, prices of all cattle are likely to decline more than seasonally in the second half of the year, es- pecially in late 1947," the report said.
