School Equipment TO BE Sold.
The Russians operated two such
schools in the United States-the
one in New York. where Mrs
Kosenkina taught and one for. the
children Of Embassy personnel here
Closing Of the Washington school
came to light yesterday when the
Soviet Embassy advertised the

A possible reason suggested II

American officials were inclined
however, to accept the explanation
that Moscow had found 1t too dif-

Election Called Impossible"
Under the national emergency OF

posed to conduct an election during
the Is days between August Is and
August 2s, to see whether the en-
ployes want to accept the last Of
fers" Of their employers.
Charles M. Brooks, NLRB asso-

A wild guess" said Mr.. Brooks,
Is that five weeks would be required
He said the mechanics of the poll

The NLRB is supposed to report
the results of the election by Sep

the injunctions are supposed to be

But If the election result can't

Mr.. Brooks said, what happens to
the injunctions is in the realm Of

Identification of the factor was
set up by DR.. H. Raymond Peters,
physician-in-chief Of Mercy Hospi-

Weiner, New York serologist.
Just two "HR double prime" cases
have been turned up in medical
history so far, one in England and
the other here.

authority, found a patient there
whose blood was of a different. type

Recently, DR.. Peters Had as a
patient a woman who had under

tive at midnight August 81, Win

cook meals.
The State Corporation Commits
sion yesterday approved an order
authorizing the Consumers Utilities
Co. Of Harrisonburg to cease dis
tributing gas to approximately 900
consumers In the city of Winches-
ter and the Frederick County area.
The order stemmed from an ex-
lplosion June % which partially
wrecked three-story building,
killing one person and injuring II
others. Escaping gas from leaking
main was believed to have caused
the explosion.
Following the explosion and al,
investigation, the Winchester City
Council passed resolution which
would have forced the Consumers
Utilities Co. to make city-wide i'm
provements to its 40 miles of mains.
This resulted in a plea from the
gas company that it was unable
financially to carry out the improve
ment program outlined by the coun.
Gil
After a series Of conferences the
city council approved an order can
ceiling the company's franchise,
which would expire December 81,

The gas company also serves con-
sumers IN Harrisonburg and Front
Royal.
Most consumers here are convert
ing to bottled" gas and electricity,
Cost OF the change-over to the for
mer amounts to from SIS to $50 Der

Aid Problem Greater
Than We Thought
Two ECA Aides Say

Two labor advisers of the Eco
nomic Cooperation Administration
Just returend from a five-week tour
Of Western Europe, declared today
the problem of European recovery
Is zone of even greater magnitude
and intensity than we first thought. .
Outlining their findings at q press
conference here were Clinton s
Golden, assistant to Go President
Phillip Murray, and Bert M. Jewell
former president of the Railway
Employees Department, AFL.
This means" they said, that
American labor has q greater re-
sponsibility and opportunity than 1t
ever had to make its detectives OF
economic recovery, social recon-
struction and sound democracy
real"
Reds Cultivate Suspicion.
They noted that European Com
munists "skillfully cultivate q sus-
picion of the United States" within
ranks of labor. but that notwith-
standing European labor Is "awak-
ening to the needs of Europe"
Mr.. Golden estimated that with
out the European Recovery Pro-
gram, 1t would take the Continent
more than 10 years to work itself
out Of postwar destruction into "a
kind Of prosperity"
Europeans, however, are working
against "a time factor, q hunger
factor and q fear factor, skillfully
cultivated by the Communists" Mr..
Golden added.
Uncertain About Berlin.
Mr.. Jewell said he noted a hest
tation about going ahead with re-
covery problems because of the
tense situation in Berlin. Nobody,
he added, Is certain Of a settlement
there.
1T is our settled opinion that the
inspiration for a new concept Of
international relations between the
democratic countries Of Europe
should come from American labor, I"
they declared.
Mr.. Golden said that the non
Communist dominated unions in
this country must maintain their
support of ERP.

Food Prices Expected
To Hold High Levels
While Butter Drops

Food prices, especially meat, re-
main in general at high levels
reached a week ago and show no
signs of following the expected
downward trend In retail butter
costs here, dealers reported today.
Largely. because Of seasonal In
creases in cold storage stocks, butter
Is likely to sell at 2 to 4 cents q
pound cheaper in retail stores by
Friday in this area. This will be the
probable result of the second success
sive drop of 2 cents pound In New
York wholesale market quotations,
dealers explained.
Grade A butter is currently selling
Tor SO and 80 cents pound in most
retail stores here.
The wholesale and retail meat
situation is about the same as it
was week ago and probably will
show few II any reductions when
week end price lists are issued by
major retail markets tomorrow,
marketmen said.
There certainly won't be any
appreciate declines this week 80
far as we can tell now" a repre-
sentative Of the wholesalers added.
Sirloin and poterhouse steaks,
which two weeks were priced be-
tween 81 cents and 81 in some re-
tail stores, were selling today for
as high as $1.09 and SLIP. Those
are about the same as the prices
listed last Thursday for similar
grades.
Lamb chops were still over the 81
. pound level, but one large chain
store organization reported that leg
of lamb was selling at II to 73l
cents, a decline of about 2 cents a
pound since last week.
