Berlin again attempted to discredit
the American-BritiSh air lift which
is supplying the blockaded Western
sectors of the city with cargoes
flown from Western Germany.
"The air bridge is without avail

the Communist press said.
| Russian fighter planes have
"buzzed" the British airdrome in
Berlin. Western allied officials
said, however, that Soviet air tac-
tics have not impeded the Amer
ican-British aerial supply service to
the city. The Russian blockade
with its attending economic paraly-
sis. has forced the closing of nearly

Berliners Are Cynical.
The first reaction of Western Ber-
liners to the Russian food an.
nouncement was somewhat cynical
Some said they would attempt tx
obtain the Soviet Offered food. but
one native Berliner employed in ar
American Office remarked: ,

u. N. Let's in Foreign Agents.
Senate Inouiry Is Told

: A Senate judiciary subcommittee
stan inquiry today disclosed further
testimony by State Department Of
ficials that perhaps several hun
dred active subversive agents of
foreign governments have come into
the United States through the
United Nations.
This country cannot prevent their
entry or regulate their activities
unless there Is some overt act. Rob-
ert G. Alexander. assistant chief OF
the visa division Of the State De-
partment, declared In the testimony
MIR. Alexander was quoted by an
other State Department representa-
tive today as having made clear to
the committee that he was giving
only his personal opinion"
Several State Department ofiicisis,
including r. Clyde Larkin, head OF
the visa division security section,
and representatives Of the immigra-
tion have appeared before the SUBJ
committee staff last week and at
tended today's session at which i'm
migration officials testified.
The hearings, some open and some
closed, have been held from time to
time since the recent regular ses-
sion Of Congress. They are conduct
ed by subcommittee staff employees.
Senators Revercomb, Republican, OF
West Virginia, and McCarran, DEM
ocrat, of Nevada, who compose the
subcommittee, have not been pres
ent since the hearings were resumed
about three weeks ago, a committee

special session" the agreement can
be put into effect.
Meat and Milk Curbs to- De Asked.
Meanwhile. it was learned from
aWhite House source that the chief
target Of the Presidents anti-infia-
ton plan, to be submitted to Con-
gress next week win be the high
cost Of meat and dairy products.
Mr.. Ross, asked about the cost
of-living bill, told reporters:
The whole subject Is still being
studied. The bill has not been
drafted yet
White House advisers most con-
cerned with the imitation problem
and the Presidents plan to attack
1t consider selective price control
formula, probably linked to some
sort Of rationing scheme, the only
answer.
The most inflated price tags in
the retail food stores today are on
meats Of all types and on milk and
butter, these advisers feel. Poultry
is also considered likely to be in
cluded in the price control formula
being worked out and eggs also may
be added, it is understood.
Rationing Bill Blocked.
A meat-rationing bill granting the
President standby powers but pro-
hibiting price controls was offered
last winter by Senator. Flanders,
Republican, Of Vermont. One White
House adviser said today it would
be rather embarrassing for the
President to follow this particular
plan since he would appear to be
taking up Republican bill.
Republican leaders, however, op-
posed the Flanders bill and 1t never
left committee. The leadership in
both houses of Congress has been
opposed to any price confederation
ing scheme and may be expected to
oppose 1t at the special session.
It was not clear today, however,
whether the Presidents program
will be aimed merely att holding
prices at their present levels or
attempting to push them down.
although grain prices have been
eased by bumper crops, a paradox is
involved in the lower prices, Gov
ernment economists point out. Lower
grain prices always keep livestock
on the farm for fattening, thus
causing an even smaller amount Of
meats to appear in the retail stores.
This will be true for several months
with the pinch especially acute this
fall. In year, however, the live
stock situation should be much i'm
proved. y
It is this coming pinch that leads
the White House advisers to center
their anti-inflation drive on meat
and dairy products.
Tough Problem Seen.
The problem of how to combat
industrial price imitation such as
that resulting from the newly an
noEnced steel price increases, tied
in with the third round of wage in
creases, is considered an especially
tough problem. 1t takes several
weeks for the impact of steel price
increase to be felt throughout in
dustrial users of that basic COM
modify and months before the last
price increase is passed down, to the
ultimate consumer. 49,.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, OF
Arkansas, said yesterday he did not
think partial price controls, such as
the selective system under consid-
Grafton, would work.
"If there is such an emergency as
to require controls to combat inf1a-
ton we will have to control not only

BUDAPEST. Hungary, July 20
Zsigmond Mihalovics, director of
Actio Catholica Catholic Action)
his secretary, three Roman Catholic
priests and a minor employe Of the
organization, went on trial in a
peoples court of justice yesterday
Canon Mihalovics, leading figure
among Roman Catholics in Hun
gary. will be tried in absentia. He
escaped from Hungary after having
been questioned by the police. His
alleged accomplices appeared in
court yesterday.
The public prosecutor declared
the clergyman was war criminal
because of agitation against the
Soviet Union during the war. The
indictment said the defendant had
spread false rumors among clerical
circles abroad against the institu-
tions of Hungary's peoples democ-
racy. It repeatedly mentioned the
name of Josef Cardinal Mindssenty
alleging that the archbiship had
sponsored the activities OF the de-

Plan Too Sweeping.
White House sources said there
has been consideration Of the gen.
eral freeze approach. the idea ad-
vanced many times by Bernard M.
Baruch. But this plan, as Of today,
appears to have no chance Of ap-
proyal by the Presidents advisers,
They feel 1t would be too sweeping
and work unfair hardships on too
many segments Of the economy.
The steel manufacturers. they
point out, would receive their new
higher prices, but the fabricators
who turn the steel into consumer
products, Would be caught in be-
tween because their prices have not
yet been raised to reflect the new
steel costs.
