Food Prices Inch Up:
Defense Plans Nav
Send Them Further

The cost OF food in Washington Is
on the way up again and the new
national defense program may fur
ther raise the cost of living.
These were the major conclusions
In q Bureau Of Labor Statistics sur
vey released late yesterday.
The February commodity market
break resulted in . SO per cent
drop In food costs here (the ma
tional average was "a per cent? but
In the week ended last Tuesday /
per cent of this gain to the house.
wife was wiped out rs prices tags
tnched upward again. From mid
February to mid-March prices for
food had been pretty much un-
changed.
Business Reaction Awaited.
The BIS warned the entire price
structure may get an tnflationary
shot In the arm If the defense pro-
gram goes through. BIS said the
business community's estimate Of
the programs effect would be IAN
extremely importaNt factor" in the
price trend situation.
Products most likely to be affected
by the defense program, BIS said,
are metals, chemicals, textiles and
shoes. Retail shoe prices have shown
some declines recently following
lower hide prices.
During the February price drop
in Washington eggs declined 1853
per cent; lard, 1874 per cent; pork.
e.5 per cent; beef and veal, 6.5 per
cent: fish. per cent, and lamb, 5.5
per cent. Butter prices dropped
Z per cent.
However, the price upswing Of the
last 10 days has cut into many Of
these declines, BIS noted. Meat
prices began rising, although the
survey pointed out that the packing
house strike has not as yet had a
uniform effect on meat prices
throughout the Nation.
Butter Prices Rise Quickly.
Butter prices scared all over the
country, following the shelving in
Congress of efforts to repeal the
margarine tax, and in some cities
price increases reached IL cents q
pound. Butter production, BIS
said, was 20 to rs per cent lower
In March than year ago while
margarine production continues to
rise.
The price indices for the nom
food products have shown no major
changes in recent months. The
total change in the iron and steel
group since the end of 1S47 is shown
as about per cent, including the
recent much-criticized rise in steel
prices. BIS pointed out that
among the items which have had
price rises, but little publicity, are
certain fabricated products sold in
large volume to steel consumers,
thus adding to the infiationary
pressure.
The BIS national consumers
price index, which covers all prod
ucts going into the family budget,
stood at 1878 in mid-February, with
the base figure of 100 the average
for the 1s35-193s prewar period. The
February figure was just per cent
under the mid-January all-time
peak, indicating that food price
drops alone were not enough to
reduce the cost Of living substan-
tally,

publicly Just where the underwater
boats were spotted. But at the
Navy Department high official
said there were three instances in
which foreign submarines were re-
ported sighted in the California
Aleutian Islands-Hawaii triangle
One was seen at night by merchant
vessel 200 miles off San Francisco,
the official said. He added that
Identification of the object as q
submarine was not positive.
Another merchant ship reported
sighting sub in an island group
800 miles west of Hawaii and a
plane spotted the third of the
Aleutians, theA official said.
Significance Not Evaluated.
Secretary Sullivan told the COM
mittee he was mot prepared to
evaluate the significance" of the
submarine sightings. But he re-
called that IAN early step OF the
Germans in 1917 and 1941 was to
deploy submarines of our coasts" :"
The Secretary said the Soviet
Union controls four large German
shipbuilding yards which mass-pro-
duced U-boats during the war
The Russians, Mr.. Sullivan added.
now have more than $50 operating
submarines "and are undoubtedly
capable of producing on short no
tice O large number Of the latest
design, vastly superior to any oper-
ated by the German navy during
World War IL"
BY contrast, Germany had less
than so operating submarines at
the start of the last war, Mr.. Sulli-
van said. adding that even with
that number the Nazis "very nearly
won the battle of the Atlantic"
The United States, Secretary Sui
livan said, has mot entirely per-
fected countermeasures" against
latest type U-boats. He predicted
the solution will be most difficult" "
Secretary Symington told the
committee that Americas B-29
bombers "can take OF in limited
operations from such points as
Alaska or Labrador, bomb any part
Of Russia and return to American
bases such as the Philippines, Oki-
nawa, Alaska or Labrador" The
Air Secretary added that the Air
Force will have whole bombing units
capable of doing this by the start
Of next year.
But, he said, such B-2s strikes
against Russia would not be deci-
sive, and therefore 1t is necessary
to obtain bases closer to the enemy"
than Alaska and Labrador.
Mr.. Symington did not elaborate
on his reference to the enemy"

seemed unperturbed. Finally, at
about 7:30 am, when the water
continued to rise, young Craver
called police.
Meanwhile, fishermen had tried
to reach the boys by throwing lines
and pushing out logs from rocks
nearby, but were unsuccessful.
When the rescuers arrived their
work was aided by large iron ring,
presumably used to moor q boat,
which was fixed to the rock. A line
was tossed from the bridge to the
boys. They secured it to the ring.
1t. FairaH Lowered.
Then 1t. Fairall was lowered by
another line, looped at the end to
form a sort of boatswain's chair. He
guided himself to the rock by the
line secured to the ring.
On the rock he sent the three
boys up, one by one. Then he came
up last, bringing the fishing poles
and lines.
The boys had caught no fish. "All
I got was wet" young Horne said.
They were soaked by spray and
wading in the water, but otherwise
were all right.
Water Beginning to Cover Rock.
The boys said they did not believe
they were in any danger at first,
but by the time rescue came water
had just begun to run over the
top of the rock.
1t. Fairall was congratulated by
his fellow firemen and by spec
tators. Its that good Fire Depart
ment training" he said.
A crowd OF spectators lined the
bridge to watch the rescue. Traffic
across the bridge was restricted to a
single lane, and even that traffic
stopped each time a boy was drawn
over the railing.

to Congress shortly asking some
what more than that amount.
Close to $4,000, ,0OO. 900.


These officials, who asked not tc
be named, said it will be close tc
$4,000, 100000. They did not indi-
cate what addition there might be
to the draft, UNIT and higher man
power ceilings for the armed serv-
ices. But some members of Con-
gress have said the President also
plans to ask more money for the
Atomic Energy Commission.
Senator Wherry, Republican, OF
Nebraska yesterday introduced a bill
to put all atomic energy develop
ment work back under military con.
troll, but there appeared to be little
prospect of early action on his pro-
posal.
Secretary Of the Army Royal had
said in testimony before the armed
services group that the civilian COM
mission and military representatives
ARE working splendidly together
I'VE need not suggest a change
he added.
The move also brought q protest
from Senator Mcmahon, Democrat
Of Connecticut, member of the Sen
ate House Atomic Committee. Sen
ator Mcmahon said he thinks the
proposed transfer would be a seri-
GUS blow to our military security"
UNIT Is Advocated.
Universal military training was
advocated by the defense officials
yesterday to give military experience
to $50, 900 youths a year. About 432,-
600 would be trained by the Army,
232, 1000 by the Navy and 1860 by
the Air Force. After their year Of
training they could 60 back to civil
ian pursuits. but would form a
trained backlog Of manpower," !"
witnesses said.
While the estimated cost Of the
actual and requested military estab-
lishment for the next fiscal year was
placed at about $14,480, ,000, 900, as
compared with the original budget
estimate Of $11,000, 100000 Some
long-range estimates ran as high
as $18. 600, 900 900 year.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
gtnia Of the committee introduced q
Senate resolution calling for q hve-
member subcommittee Of the Armed
Services Committee "to act as q
watchdog over military expenditures
and results Of the preparedness pro-
gram"
Commenting that "these are not
necessarily my IDEAS" Chairman
Gurney said he understood the
draft bill being prepared by mill
tary chiefs would:
Apply to men from 10 through as,
not including veterans who served
more than 90 days.
Exempt married men with de-
pendents, and defer various other
groups such as theological students
and medical and specialized scien-
tific students.
Possibly require registration OF
men up to As, although the actual
draft board registrations might &c
by age groups such as 10 through
rs, rs to 80, 80 to SO and so forth.

they would be forced to pay the
difference. In addition, they charge
that Mr.. Lewis has demanded that
miners not covered by the contract
be included. This, the owners
charge, is a violation Of the Taft
Hartley Act.
Besides Mr.. Lewis, who is the
union trustee for the fund, the
board is expected to call Ezra Van
Horn, the operators trustee, who
has led the fight against the pension
demands, and Thomas e. Murray OF
New York, formerly the third or
neutral trustee.
Mr.. Murray resigned in January
eriticizing the uncompromising posi-
ton of both Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Van
Horn with regard to the fund use.

Yesterday estimated bituminous
production dropped to $780, 900 tons

who have criticized his policies on
that score.
In California, where there had
been rumblings of dissension over
the retreat from partitioning, a
four hour meeting of national con-
vention delegates produced state
ment that the delegation Is firmly
pledged" to Mr.. Truman.
The statement made no reference
10 the Presidents assertion that q
u. N. trusteeship is necessary be-
cause partitioning of the Holy Land
now wouldn't work without blood
shed. But it said the hastily called
meeting produced "a thorough dis
cussion Of the political situation in
California"
Senator Murray, Democrat, Of
Montana said he is greatly en-
couraged" by Mr.. Truman's news
conference explanation. Senator
Murray is running for denomination
TO the Senate as pro-Truman
candidate in Montana.
But Representative Celler, Demo-
crat, of New York told the House
Mr.. Truman's statement "just mud
dies the water" Mr.. Celler added
It was just Zip service" for the
President to say he still Is behind
partitioning.
Senator Taylor of Idaho. the vice
presidential aspirant on Henry Wal
lace's third party ticket, said Mr..
Truman 'is just trying to pull the
fat out Of the fire."
But 1t won't do any good" he
said. HE is already losing people
like Kelly and Flynn" Senator
Taylor alluded to Edward J. Kelly,
former Mayor of Chicago, and Ed
ward j. Flynn, New York national
committeeman.

Truman Tackles Task
OF Palestine Peace

President Truman tackled the
problem Of peace in Palestine on
wide diplomatic front today.
Ofncials predicted that If Ameri-
can efforts to arrange an Arab
Jewish truce are not successful, the
Holy Land will become an embat-
tied "no-man's land" when the
British give up their mandate there
May Is.
Wholesale bloodshed-what Mr..
Truman himself called open war
fare-is foreseen at that time unless
decisive action is taken beforehand
along two lines.
These were laid down by the
President in a statement yesterday.
He called for % the creation of a
United Nations trusteeship to as
sumo authority temporarily when
the British leave, and CD for a
truce, meanwhile, to put an end to
the killing.
Off1cials said all the resources of
diplomacy must be employed with
the Jewish and Arab leaders direct
ly. as well as with their representa-
tives at the United Nations, to make
the Presidents double harness pro-
gram effective.
Admittedly, these authorities said,
prospects for success are not too
bright. Initial reaction Of both
Jews and Arabs has been unfavor-
able in many respects to the negotia-
tions Of a truce.
Partition Minimum Demanded.
In New York, DR.. Abba Hillel
Silver, chairman of the American
section Of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine. said partition is the very
least his people will accept in the
way Of political settlement.
The Arab Office had issued a
statement calling Mr.. Humans pro-
posal fantastic" and denouncing
the Presidents news conference
comment that he has not abandoned
support for the partition idea.
Some of the Presidents advisers
privately make plain that what the
Government is now inter-
ested in, aside from getting peace
in the Holy Land, is any kind of
long range political settlement
which both Jews and Arabs may be
prevailed upon to accept.
Oficials say that while Jewish
leaders firmly insist on partition,
they have talked increasingly about
the problem of economic union be-
tween the Jewish and Arab states
proposed by the United Nations par
tition plan.
Arab leaders, on the other hand,
are reported to be interested in a
federated Palestine of Jewish and
Arab states.
