Benton Reported Ready to Quit
State Department Post Soon

against criticism from some quarters
that he had been unable to aget
along with Congress. While much
less than the more than $4,000, 600
originally asked, the appropriation
was just that much more than the
nothing first decreed last spring
by the House Appropriations Com
mittee.
Mr.. Benton, It was learned, dis
cussed his resignation with Gen.
Marshall before the latter left last
month for the inter- American de-
tense conference at Rio de Janiero,
but agreed to remain on the job
until after the Secretary's return.
Mr.. Benton planned to leave for
Chicago today for a meeting of the
United States National Commission
for the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization.
He is expected to press his resigna-
ton again soon after returning from
that meeting next week.
He succeeded Archibald MacLeish,
former Librarian of Congress, as
Assistant Secretary Of State in
charge of international information
and cultural work on September IA,
1945. 50
Mr.. Benton retired from a New
York advertising firm in 1896, de-
voting his time after that to work as
vice president of the University of
Chicago and directing numerous
private business interests in the
radio and educational field.

Only 6Pct. Of Tenants
Accept Higher Rents
Under New Formula

Tenants so far have agreed to
voluntary" rent increases on only
about 6 per cent of the Nation S

formula approved at the last ses-
sion of Congress.
That was disclosed last night by

don, who has charge of rent con-
troll under the new National Hous-
ing and Rent Act.
Under the law, increases of up to
Is per cent may be obtained by
landlords willing to grant leases
extending to December 81, 1913,
provided tenants voluntarily agree.

A total of 964,060 rent-increase
leases have been filed whit the 614

ton of the new act, Mr.. Creedon
said.
A spokesman for the housing ex-

leases, though he expressed the
opinion that there probably would
be a slight Jump in October, tradi-
tional lease-signing date in some
areas.
All leases permitting a rent in
crease under the new law must be
signed by December 81.
Most Leases From Cities.
The spokesman said most of the
leases signed up to now came from
cities, with those covering apart

dominating.
The formula does not apply to the

Meat and Butter Lead
New Upward Swing Of
Most Commodities

CHICAGO, Sept. s.-America's
shrinking food dollar was being
dragged through the wringer again
today by somewhat general ad-
vance in staple commodity prices.
Except for a reduction Of 5 cents
a pound retail for margarine in
New York, the general trend was
upward in the faster moving race
for economic adjustment.
For the fourth consecutive day
the Associated Press index of IS
wholesale commodities reached an
other new all-time high yesterday
at 1926, compared with the 1925
base year of 100.
Included in the continued ad-
vances were meat, coffee. butter,
tallow, eggs and corn. Moreover,
the whole dairy outlook was far
from a pretty picture as described
by Russell Fifer, executive secretary
of the American Butter Institute.
Supplies 2 Per Cent Down.
The dairy industry, Mr.. Fifer
said, Is going into the winter with
an exceptionally low supply of but
ter and cream in storage and with
2 per cent less milk cows than
year ago., Since the peak milk
production in 1914, he added, the
number of milk cows has dropped
per cent, while consumer popu-
lation since the start OF the war
has increased 100000, many of
them now "in heavy milk drinking
ages"
Butter climbed another cent a
pound on the New York and Chi
cago Mercantile Exchanges yester-
day to new peaks for the year.
Eggs advanced to so cents dozen
wholesale here, and porterhouse
steak hit 81 a pound at New York
retail outlets.
Probably foreshadowing further
retail pork price increases, hogs
hit a new all-time high of $31.25
a hundredweight at the Denver
stockyards yesterday, and a record
top of s31 at the South San Fran
cisco stockyards. Traders at Oma-
ha, Sioux City, Iowa. and East
st. Louis, ILL.,, snapped up the Of
ferings there at $50 hundred
weight.
Cash Corn Record Set.
Although grains in futures trading
at Chicago were mostly lower IN yes
terday's dealings, one cash corn
transaction brought q record high
of $25734 q bushel
Two of the nations largest chain
grocery concerns boosted coffee 2
cents a pound retail in New York.
Tallow, used by soap manufacturers,
was up a cent pound.
Eugene c. Schultz, New York City
Commissioner of Markets, gave
these comparative retail prices there
on a few food items:
Porterhouse steak, 81 a pound, up
81 cents over a year ago; bacon, 70

Communal Disorders
Enter Third Day in
Twin Cities Of Delhi
BY the Asseeio,ed Press

NEW DELHI, Sept. s.-India's

crackle of gunfire today as the
orgy of communal rioting which
has paralyzed the twin cities of
Old and New Delhi entered its
third bloody day.
During the night there was little
sound Of violence. but with day.
break the sound Of firing resumed
Most of it appeared to be coming
from the outskirts of New Delhi.
although an occasional shot could
still be heard in the Connaught Cir
Gus area, where looters clashed with
authorities Sunday:
Mingled with the gunfire came
an intermittent wave of shouting
from thousands of Threats. The
screaming of slogans by Hindus,
Moslems and Sikhs has been one
of the favorite ways of conducting
a war of nerves during the recent
communal disturbances.
In Connaught Circus some food
shops reopened under military guard
and quickly had long lines of pa
irons whose supplies have run dam
gerously low. Housewives carrying
shopping bags walked past the body
OF riot victim, which lay covered
with a cloth.
"a Bodies Are Counted.
Correspondents driving through
the twin cities counted q bodies
of persons killed by rioters and po-
lice or military gunfire. In one
street among eight dead bodies a
wounded man lay writhing in pain.
Past this scene of carnage filed
thousands Of Moslems who were
being evacuated from the section,
The tattered multitude carried their
few belongings on their heads while
some carried children on their backs.
A drizzling rain fell on the shuffiing
group.
Elsewhere, throughout India the
rioting was reported to have the
same complexion, with Sikhs and
Hindus matched against Moslems in
grim effort to drive them out of
the country-just as in Pakistan
Moslems were said to be doing the
same thing to the Sikhs and Hindrs.
On hillside overlooking a Sikh
Hindu colony dotted with neat look
ing cream colored dwellings, were
huddled several hundred Moslem
refugees from Pahar CAM. The
group insisted they were the sub
jects Of a planned program of ex-
termination and that the police and
military had not been acting In a
neutral manner.
u. N. Assistance Asked.
Chairman D. M. Malik Of the
Delhi Moslem League Committee
said he asked Pakistan Prime Min
lister Liaquat Ali Khan at Karachi
yesterday to appeal for United Ma
tons supervision of an exchange of
populations and property because
there was systematic effort being
exercised to exterminate the New
Delhi minority.
Orders have been given to shoot
to kill and ruthlessly stamp out
rioting.
But despite the attempts to restore
order, the rioting goes on and
thousands of refugees are stream
ing from their homes convinced that
Delhi has become a death trap.
=, More troops are being brought into
the area to reinforce the riot squads.
