Cut in Manufacture
Of Oil Burners Asked
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

It's poor; business to sell oil burn.
ers unless there is oil, a House
committee decided yesterday.
Chairman Ploeser of the House
Small Business Committee re-
leased report recommending that
manufacturers of oil burners and
space heaters agree to curtail sales
until the fuel oil supply catches
up with demand.
The report recited that the ex-
pected demand for oil products in
1s4s. is 100000 barrels a day. The
domestic production, with the in
dustry operating at top capacity
averaged 6,325 900 barrels daily as
of January 18, leaving a deficit to
be supplied by imports or new dis
coveries.
Contributing to the fuel oil short
age in the nid-Western States, the
committee suggested, was the in
stallation of 283,053 new oil burner
units in the II States during 1947.
The committee said that instances
Of price gouging" because Of the
oil shortage were rare despite
numerous complaints from the Mid
west. The most fragrant case oc-

said, where it was reported d con-
valescent home paid 80 cents a GAL
lon for 400 gallons of fuel oil and

increased supply for some time to

"5-Weather conditions here At
home and across the seas have
rightly inspired us with some op-
tinism But, until these grains are
in the bins, we can only. hope that
bad weather does not damage the
currently good prospects.
"e-The world food supply, despite
reassuring reports OF good wheat
crops in the Southern Hemisphere,
is still limited. Hunger still
threatens Europe and easing it is
still prime essential to recovery.
Conservation is thus necessary to
help the United States fulfil its In
ternational obligations"
Secretary Anderson has stated
that the Governments export coal
still is 45o,000,o 900 bushels Of wheat
by June 80, but that If livestock
and other consumption of grain
stays within programmed limits, 1t
may be possible to ship an extra
5Q,000,0 900 bushels.
Colleges Get kilograms.
The department, since it took over
direction of the conservation pro-
gram from o special unit of the
Cabinet Food Committee February
J, has stepped up an educational
program through the Extension
Service urging farmers to feed less
grain to their livestock. 4
However, only last Thursday Mr..
Anderson sent kilograms to presi-
dents of land-grant colleges In the
Central States and the four major
farm organizations calling atten-
ton to the fact that for three
straight weeks hogs have come to
market at near-record weights. This,
he warned, means that savings in
grains "our producers made last
fall are slipping through their I'M
gers"
The department also Is working on
voluntary conservation programs
with industrial users Of grain, and
is awaiting congressional action on
authority to allocate grain to dis
tillers until October 81.
The Senate Banking Committee
has approved legislation and the
measure may come up for Senate
consideration this week. The House
Banking Committee has not acted.

Anderson Tells Nation
Food Price Drop May
Make Shortage Worse
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

The Agriculture Depar m n
warned the Nations food conserva-
ton committees last night that de-
clining market prices may make il
necessary for even greater food and
feed conservation efforts. 4.
The warning was contained in a
communication of the recently
formed Office for Food ana Feed
Conservation to approximately S.
500 State and local conservation
committees throughout the country
1t went out under the names oi
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
and Assistant Secretary Charles F
Brannan. Mr.. Brannan is directo,
of the conservation drive launched
last fall by President Truman te
help meet export goals for grain.
This latest development came as
the markets closed for a long holi.
day week end. At yesterdays close
grain prices ended on a firm foot
ing after slipping at the start Of
trading. Cotton and other COM
modities traded in the future mar
kets moved irregularly.
Trading Is Slim.
Stock prices in New York edged
forward but trading slowed down
to only 100000 shares, slimmest
since last May. Wheat futures at
Chicago moved up 212 to cents a
bushel, corn rose IL to 21a and oats,
Is to u.
Meanwhile, retail food prices here
remained unchanged, and were not
expected to be revised until after
the commodity markets open Tues
day.
Reports from Chicago showed
farmers made sharp cuts in cattle
shipments last week in an effort to
stem falling prices. Twelve major
markets received 106, 900 fewer head
than in the same week last year.
AS result, prices generally ad-
vanced and lower grade beef-type
cows nearly recovered recent losses.
Mr.. Anderson and Mr.. Brannan
conceded in their message that the
recent downturn In commodity
prices "all adds up to uncertainty
and confusion" But, they added:
For us. Of course, the immediate
question is whether the changes in
commodity prices diminish the need
for conservation. Can we sit back
and feel our work Is done? The
answer is: No, we must continue to
conserve"
Need Seen Greater.
Then they sounded this warning:
"In fact, the need for conservation
could be even greater as result of
the downswing. If the ebb in prices
turns out to be only a momentary
decrease, we could discover that we
have lost ground"
The officials listed these essential
facts in the price ce-conservation situa-
ton:
Ups and downs in commodity
prices cannot add grain of wheat
or a kernel Of corn to our country's
supply. Price changes,
however, can redirect the use OF the
grain. Lower prices are likely to
lead to heavier consumption.
"2-The changes to date have
made little change in the cost of
living in comparison with inflation-
ary peaks we reached last month |
"3-Some of the commodities are
now on the threshold Of the seasons
when supplies climb. This is par
ticularly true of eggs, milk and
dairy products. Declining prices,
are expected in these COM
modities and consumers should be
urged to add them to their daily
food in keeping with the downward
trend and their own food budget.
Meat Shortage Seen.

nearing the end of the season of
relative plenty in meat. And the

Soviet, US. Demands
Block 4-Power Accord
On Treaty for Austria
by the Asseeic.ed Press

LONDON, Feb. 21-Russia's de-
mand for American dollars and
United States insistence on with
drawal OF occupation troops
emerged tonight as the main block
to ur-power agreements on an
Austrian peace.
These issues overshadowed new
talks between the foreign ministers
deputies. The talks remained today
in the feeling-out stage. Confer
ence observers said there were scant
signs as yet that either Russia or
the western powers were approach
ing compromise on deputies which
have denied Austria formal peace
The first and most immediate
issue stemmed from Soviet insist
ence that Austria pay Russia the
equivalent Of $200,000,0 900 in freely
convertible currency" The sum is
demanded as compensation for for
mer German property on Austrian
soil which Russia claims. Russia
wants the claim paid within two
years.
French Offer Compromise.
American sources said the United
States opposed the payment of the
claim by Austria in such manner.
They contended any convertible
currency would come indirectly
from American taxpayers through
the Marshall Plan for European
recovery.
Under a French proposal, which
has both British and American sup
port, the Russian claim would be
cut In half. The payments would
be spread over eight years after a
tWo-year moratorium and would be
met through materials and goods
manufactured in Austria.
In addition Russia wants:
Two-thirds Of Austria's current
and undeveloped oil production.
Twenty-Five per cent OF the Dam
ube Shipping Company's assets in
Austria plus all the former German
assets in the company In Roumania
Bulgaria and Hungary.

British and French deputies pressed
Fussia's N. P. Koktomov for a list
OF just what this would mean in
terms Of ships, property, oil wells
and refineries!s The western depu-
ties said later through their oficial
observers that they got little salts
faction in trying to pin Koktomoy
down to details.
The United States insists that any
fnal peace settlement must contain
iron-clad guarantees of Austrian
sovereignty and independence with
the removal of all foreign troops
from Austria's soil.
Russian ELECTIONS Seen.
Diplomatic sources said they anti
cipated this would run into Rus
sian objections on the grounds that
the Soviet Union must maintain
supply lines in Austria as long as
Germany lacks a peace treaty and
remains under occupation.
The United States, Britain and
France will get together Monday

Georges Bidault said those guaran-
tees would be necessary before

Finds Fortune; Loses Job, Health

PHILADELPHIA, R- Benja- min Lieberman is willing to for get all about the $92, 300 treasure found in his cellar-provided he is paid a fee.
 The former -75-a-week book keeper says he lost his health and his job worrying about the hoard. So Friday he relinquished claim to the cash.
 His only condition is that the State of Pennsylvania give him the usual 25 per cent informerS' fee if it wins the treasure through escheatment proceedings.
 This the commonwealth agreed to do. Common pleas court which is hearing claims put off a ruling on the rightful owner until later this month.
 Lieberman told police he stum- bled on the treasure II months ago while hunting light bulb and did not know how it got in the cellar of his home.
 But Mrs. Anna Thereia Hillop, widow of gangster slain ia New Jersey, told the court the cash was hidden in a secret trap door by her slain ex-convict husband 16 years ago.
 She declared the $82,8O0 right fully was hers.

Situation In
 Manchuria Very Bad For Chinese
tBY Spencer Moosa)

PEIPING, {P-A steady wor- sening of the Chinese govern ment's military position in Man churia was reported in pro-Na- tionalist dispatches Saturday.
 These communist successes were acknowledged:
 Capture of Liaoyang, important railway city 35 miles south of the big Manchurian city of Mukden;
 Infilrtation of Yingkow, the best government port in Manchur- ia, and:
 Complete isolation of the gov- ernment-held steel city of Anshan, IS miles south of Liaoyang on the Mukden-Dairen railway.
 The moose around Mukden pro- per was frightened with increas- ingly heavy attacks on Suchiatun, only seven miles away. The dis patches said prices in Mukden were roughly five times those in Shanghai, where imitation has sent them to almost prohibitive heights.
 In Anshan, many deaths were from shortages of food and fuel. Power lines there were cut.

 The delay gives the committee ten days to think over proposals to have the extension bill permit automatic rent increases and au- tomatic lifting of all ceilings in some communities.
