Argentina Discusses End
OF British Meat Shipments
By the Assoeiofsd Press

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 3.-Ar
Argentine government agency spoke
today of the possibility of suspend
ing meat shipments to England.
Amos j. Cooke, representative of
the British Food Ministry, said
last Monday the Argentine gov
ernment had ordered meat ship
ments halted January 7, but diplo-
matte sources later learned the
shipments would continue under a
"gentlemen's agreement pending
British Argentine trade talks now
in progress.
The first official mention of the
meat suspension came from the
Argentine Institute for the Promo
ton of Interchange which suggested
a special credit for small cattle
growers because of "the difficult
situation which the cattle breeders
are facing, and the prospect even
tual suspension of meat shipments
to Great Britain will result in a
drop in the market for cattle for
fattening."
Argentina was repeatedly insist
ing that the British pay for meat
in pounds convertible into United
States dollars.

Some Cable Service
To Orient CurtaiIed
|As Strike Continues
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Supervis-
ory employees worked around the
clock as four major cable systems
sought today to keep international
traffic moving despite a strike OF
about $500 overseas communications
workers.
The walkout began on both
coasts yesterday, but the companies
said their services were largely un-
affected except for curtailment OF
some transmissions to the Orient.
The curtailment was announced
last night by Mackay Radio, which
said in San Francisco that its Hon
olulu service was imperative, but
that communications were being
maintained with China, Japan, the
Philippines and Australia, with
overall handling about so per cent
of normal.
In New York, company spokesmen
said, however, that all overseas
transmissions were being put
through by supervisory personnel.
Other companies involved are
the cables division of the Western
Union Telegraph Co., the CONNER
cial Gable Co. and All-America Ca
bles. The four ordinarily handle
an estimated two thirds of all for
eign communications. .
The striking workers, who, COM
pany spokesman said, are seeking
80 per cent wage increases, are mem
bers of the CIO American Com
munications Association and the
nonaff1liated All-America Employees
Association. Present wages range
from $3861 to $7323 a week.
The unions picketed buildings
here, in Washington and in San
Francisco.
Other cable firms not involved in
the strike said that if necessary
they could take over the entire
transmission load of the struck COM
panies. An AGA spokesman had
said the union would not interfere
with such action.

To Initiation Charges
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Four top Republican legislative
leaders will blast back Monday at
Democratic charges that the Re-
publican-controlled Congress has
refused effective action to curb
imitation.
The Republican National Com
mittee picked Senators Taft of Ohio
and Millikin of Colorado, House
Speaker Martin and House Majority
Leader Halleck to answer assertions
that the COP "choked price control
to death" and now plans to defer
action on vital matters in the COM
ing session"
These statements were voiced on
an around-the-Nation radio broad
cast over the Mutual Broadcasting
System last night by a group OF
speakers headed by Senator Nc
Grath of Rhode Island, chairman
of the Democratic National Com
mittee.
The Republicans, given the chance
to answer in the possession battle
of the airways, chose to channel
their program from Washington.
Objectives to Be Outlined.

their four speakers will outline the
objectives of the new Congress, in

Gratis.

dental nomination, is expected to
take the lead in attempting to lay
at President Trumans door blame
for the rising cost of living which
Representative Norton, Democrat, of
New Jersey, last night charged to
the COP.
Mrs. Norton told the radio audi
ence that while the Republicans
must recognize that fat profits and
high prices may bring depression,
they are not willing to do anything
to stop It,"
The session of Congress starting
Monday will determine whether
greed or stupidity caused the Re-
publicans to kill price controls" she
declared.
If the COP refuses to give Pres
tdent Truman the standby price
wage and rationing authority he has
asked, she added, they will be
playing politics with human mis-
cry"
Failure to Act Charged.
Senator McGrath. speaking from
Los Angeles, said the Republicans
failed to act on vital problems, in
the regular and special sessions of
Congress last year.
IF they can," he said, they will
defer action on vital matters in the
coming session"
Senator Green, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, said the COP gave
only dip service and inaction" to
requests by Mr.. Truman for national
health insurance legislation, Fed
eral aid to education. expansion of

posals for housing assistance.

Whale No. was suspected py
some hereabouts to be the "sea
monster" struck by the Grace liner

picion a bit. 1t was a male animal,
about As feet long and weighed

Appeals Court Asked
To Set Aside Mays
Conviction for Fraud

Counsel for former Representative
Andrew j. May Of Kentucky yes
terday filed a brief in the United
States Court of Appeals, claiming
numerous errors were made in the
District Court trial in which the
former member of Congress was
convicted on charges of conspiracy
to defraud the Government and of
accepting money for his services
while a member of the House.
Convicted with May in District
Court last June were Henry M.
Carson and Murray Carson,
brothers, of the wartime Carson
munitions combine. They also were
found guilty on the conspiracy
charge and also of aiding and abet-
ting May to receive money for his
services In connection with the COM
bine's war contracts.
Garssons Ask Extension.
The three defendants seek to have
their conviction set aside in the
Court of Appeals. Yesterday was
the deadline for filing the briefs, but
counsel for the Garssons filed a
motion asking for an extension of
time in which to file briefs to Janu-
ary 6. Arguments on the appeal
are scheduled for February 9.
Among errors claimed by counsel
for May were that the trial court
erred in admitting certain evidence
In behalf of the United States; that
1t erred "in restricting the proof Of
fered on behalf of the defendants,
and also in overruling defense mo-
tions for judgment Of acquittal at
the conclusion of the Governments
case.
May and the two Garssons were
sentenced In District Court to serve
from 8 months to two years. but
were allowed to remain free on bond
pending the outcome of the appeal.
Specifically, May stands convicted
on charges Of agreeing to accept
more than $4,000 for his services
and OF accepting large sums.
u.,, Law Involving May. .la
Inc law makes 1t crime for a
member of Congress to accept pay
Tor services rendered in connection
with any proceeding in which the
United States is party or inter-
ested before any Government de-
partment.
The theory of the conspiracy
charge in general is that the agree
ment would have the effect of de-
frauding the United States of its
governmental functions, that the
Government was entitled to have
May, who was chairman of the
House Military Affairs Committee,
to act in his official capacity, free
from any influence or partiality re-
sulting from personal and pecuniary
interest in the success of the other
defendants.
Counsel representing May are

son and Sawyer A. Smith.
