NEW DELHI, Oct. 22.-An agree
ment was reported today to have
been drawn up under which the
Nizam of Hyderabad, often called
the worlds wealthiest man, will re-
main the ruler of an independent
kingdom.
Under the agreement, which is to
run for year. an authoritative re-
port said the Nizam would cooper
ate with the Dominion of India in
all practical matters and would send
India troops if requested, though
he would have the last word on
their use.
Negotiators were said to have
completed the agreement last night
for approval by the Nizam and
India States Minister Sardar VAL
labbhai Patel.
The Nizam, Moslem, is absolute
ruler of upward of 100000 sub
jects, most of them Hindus, in his

'Luekman Is Reported
Favoring End Today 10
Pou|try|ess Thursday
BY the Associated Press

The Citizens Food Committee de-
cides today whether to call off
poultryless Thursday.
Chairman Charles Luckman as
sembled his member Executive
Committee for an afternoon meeting
to weigh a final offer" from the
poultry and feed industries to save
grain for Europe In other ways.
Mr.. Luckman himself was reported
leaning toward the plan, but COM
mittee officials said the decision
would be left up to the executive
body.
The proposal pledges specific saw
ings of 100000 bushels of grain
from November through January by
culling out poultry f1ocks and re-
ducing the number of chicks hatched.
1t forecasts another 100000 BUSH
ell saving through an industry wide
feed conservation drive.
Receive No Assurances.
The plan has been presented to
President Truman's Cabinet Food
Committee for appraisal and anal
ysis,' but poultry and feed industry
spokesmen left town today saying
they had received no assurances
whatsoever"
The new grain saving proposal
submitted to Mr.. Luckman's EXecu-
tive Committee contains these major
provisions:
l. A 25 per cent cut in the pro-
duction of "broiler chicks
ems which are Matched and readied
for market as broilers or fryers in
go days-from the level of Novem-
ber, December and January of a
year ago.
The National Poultry Producers
Federation estimated this would save
100000 bushels of grain by jan
uary l and another 100000 by
April /. The federation promised
to call meetings of broiler producers
within 10 days and obtain such a
pledge.
Cut in Flocks Planned.
2. A reduction of at least 10O,-
100000 birds in the country's poul-
try f1ocks by January l. This would
include the culling out of stew
ing chickens, which are poor egg
producers. 1t should provide ac-
cumulated savings of 100000
bushels of feed grains, the fedora
tion said.
3. A pledge by feed manufacturers
and dealers to avoid use of wheat
better than No grade-in other
words, wheat fit for human con-
sumption-in feed mixtures during
this emergency period"
4. A drive to induce poultrymen to
cut their 1948 flocks by 20 per cent
from this years levels, as requested
by the Agriculture Department, at
a saving of 100000 bushels of grain
in the first 80 days of 1948.
5. A guarantee of full support" in
a grain conservation drive on the
countrys 100000 poultry farms, with
the goal of saving 100000 bushels
of feed grains in the next three
months.

Congress Unit 10 Hear
Labor Views on Hiqh
Baltimore Food Prices
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. %. - Labor
spokesmen, food professors and rep
resentatives of veterans groups were
scheduled to tell a congressional
subcommittee today their ideas on
the why's and wherefores of current
high prices in this area, and what
they believe can be done about them
The Eastern subcommittee of the
Joint Congressional Committee on
the Economic Report is concluding
its two-day hearing today on prices
in this area.
After yesterdays session, Senator
Baldwin, Republican, of Connecticut,
subcommittee vice chairman, said he
would recommend that special
study be made of retail food prices
in the Baltimore area ito see why
they are out of line as compared with
some other cities
Representative Hart, Democrat, of
New Jersey, said the special survey
should be extended to include the
Richmond area. Price increases in
the Virginia capital, he said. were
not as great as have occurred in
Baltimore. but were higher than the
average American city.
Dealers Profits "Outrageous."
Mr.. Hart said average food profits
of 81 per cent as reported to the
Government by national food deal
ers we're courageous and exhorb-
liant"
Representatives of several wom-
ems groups who testified at the first
day of the hearing recommended
reconvening Congress to deal with
the price situation.
Mrs. Frances Klafter, appearing
for the Washington League of
Women Shoppers, told the investi-
gators the typical middle-income
Washington family simply cannot
maintain adequate standards in the
face of the high cost of living"
Mrs. Klafter described herself and
her family as one of the middle
income" group.
She said her husband has month
ly spendable earnings" of $500 for
family of five and declared it is
more than received by the majority
of Government workers who make
up the bulk of Washington's pop
ulation.
I'VE must have a system of Gov
ernment price control and ration
ing" she declared.
Well-to-Do Outbid Others.
"Of course. we have rationing
nova very simple system: Those
who can't afford meat, butter poul-
try and eggs at present prices don't
get much. The lavish and well-to-
do outbid them for the supply and
get all they want.
1--WE are convinced that the pro-
gram of the Presidents Committee
on Food will be no more successful
this time than similar programs have
been in the past.
I'VE have tried voluntary discipline
before. After OPA was killed, we
tried organized consumer resistance.
Consumers alone could not hold the
line on prices. Consumers alone can
not ration short supplies equitably."

Food Prices May Hit
World War ILeve|
In '48, Bureau Says
BY the Asseciotsd Press

The Nations consumers, Jug
Cling their budgets to cope with
continued high prices, found
little if any cheer today in a
prediction by the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics on prices
and supplies of major foods and
farm products for 1948.
The outlook by the bureau indi-
Gated higher prices were on the way
in several commodities, some of
which appeared headed toward peak
levels reached during and after
World War I. Yesterday for the
sixth consecutive day the Associated
Press index of the wholesale prices
Of 35 commodities set new all-time
peak.
On livestock and meats, the bu-
reau said prices probably will con-
tinue high and meat production was
expected to drop about 10 pounds
per person from the 1947 average
per capita rate of l55 pounds.
Egg and poultry prices also are
expected to average higher than this
year, and dairy products may be
higher the first six months of next
year than in the first half of 1947
There may be a drop in the last
half the hllreaI said
Prices of wheat, which yesterday
in Chicago scared to the highest
mark for the December future
delivery since 1917, were forecast
by the bureau to be governed largely
by the size of next years crop
Export demand was expected to con-
tinue large until the middle of 1949.
December wheat at one time yester-
day was quoted at $310A a bushel
while in the cash market No.
red wheat was sold for $3.16h, the
highest price since 1920.
The bureaus outlook on corn and
other livestock feeds was that prices
were expected to average higher
than this year and because of this
years poor corn crop the total
feed supplies would be smaller.
Higher Potato Prices Seen.
Prices for potatoes early in 194S
probably will be higher than last
winter, the bureau said, while con-
tinued high prices were predicted
for wool during the first half of
next year. Fruit prices were ex-
pected to be about the same as this
year.
Moderately lower prices were
foreseen in larger rye crop, while
somewhat lower prices also we're
predicted for commercial truck
crops.
AS wheat at Chicago and other
big markets continued its upward
trend yesterday, there was another
increase in bakery flour prices at
Minneapolis, moving 10 cents high
er per hundred pounds to $7.85. Also
on the upgrade in markets yester-
day we're rubber, scrap steel, cocoa,
DutCel, lamp, corn, rye anu COCCOn.
In the livestock markets prices of
hogs, cattle and oats declined.
Heavy Sugar Buying Reported.
Also on the food front was a re-
port from New York that heavy
buying of sugar was reported by
retail dealers. Many storekeeperS
and some wholesalers attributed the
sudden demand to scarce" and
they said that although stocks now
were amble they would be unable
to keep up with the demand if it
continued.
Patsy D'Agostino, president of the
National Association of Retail
Grocers, said there is no necessity
whatsoever for this at this time. If
the housewives persist in stacking
away sugar they may create an
artificial shortage. They are afraid
that sugar prices will rise after
october 81, when price controls are
lifted. There is no need for
boarding"

-Four Diaries Report
5to IS Per Cent Drop
In Milk Sales Here

A drop in volume of milk sales
here, ranging from 5 to IS per
cent, was reported by four dairies
today, with all attributing the de-
cline from a year ago to curtailment
Of consumer buying.
Two other large diaries, survey
showed, reported sales holding their
own compared with those last year.
Only one dairy disclosed an in
crease in sales, and this was at
tributed to the fact the company
has opened additional retail outlets.
This trend toward lower sales
eonficted with a statement by
Bruce B. Derrick, manager Of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers Association, that this month
would set a record for March In
sales of milk by farmers to local
diaries.
10000 Gallons Daily Import
Local distributors continue to
"import" 10000 gallons of milk daily
from areas outside the so-called
washington milkshed which is made
I'D of producers in nearby Maryland
and Virginia, Mr.. Derrick said.
The farmer spokesman insisted
Producers could not stand q price
reduction at this time. He cited an
s8 a ton increase in feed in the past
10 DAYS and estimated that labor
costs were up SIS monthly per man
from last summer.
GAS soon as costs go down, we
will follow with decreased prices to
distributors" Mr.. Derrick declared.
The Washington Committee for
Consumer Protection has been
spearheading a drive for reduc-
ton in retail milk prices here as
the season of flush milk production
approaches. This period runs from
April through June.
No Change Anticipated.
But unless the producer associa-
ton petitions the Agriculture De-
partment for a hearing leading to
changes in the local Federal milk
marketing agreement, no change Is
anticipated in milk prices in Wash
tngton. Home-delivered milk Is now
1917 cents a quart as against 16
cents last June and IA cents in
1941.
1t Is believed the association will
take no steps to change the present
price structure.
Under the Federal order, the De-
partment may call a hearing with
out petition of producers or distribu-
tors, but a Department spokesman
declared there was no such pro-

posal "in the mill' there. The
agreement makes no provisions for
consumer groups to petition for q
hearing.
Typical Of the report of dairies
was that from Otto Phillips, general
manager of Wakefield Dairy. He at
tributed 5 per cent decline in re-
tail sales to fact housewives were
cutting down on the amount Of milk
used each day because Of the pinch

on family budgets resulting from
generally higher food costs.
He said a IS per cent decline In
wholesale business resulted from a
drop in consumption Of bottled milk
In restaurants. Where the price
formerly was S or 6 cents half-
pint, it is now 10 cents, he pointed
out.
