Leve|ing-0ff Trend
In Food Prices Seen
By Trade Spokesman

Slight price declines in some cuts
of beef and pork and butter
marked week end buying prospects
for housewives in this area.
Trade spokesmen said the level
ing-of trend expected since recent
declines started apparently has
set in. One large retailer fore
cast higher meat prices next week.
Wholesale prices have been 60
ing up, and that's what controls
our prices" an official of a large
chain store commented.
With wholesale butter prices
down to their lowest level since
last November, butter in chain
stores was selling today at SO and
10 cents a pound. This was l
cent less than a week ago.
Wholesale Butter Drops.
Chicagos wholesale butter mar
ket dropped to so cents pound
yesterday. just a cent above the
Government support price. Agri-
culture Department sources re-
ported. however. that they had not
made any purchases as yet.
Several large food outlets listed
39-cents a pound chuck roast, a
low figure first reached here last
month following a decline in live
stock prices.
Although live lambs were un-
usually high at the Chicago
market, no change was noted in
retail prices here. One trade
source said lamb prices already
were about as high as the market
will bear.
Prices Index Declines.
One chain store cut steaks and
rib roastS two cents a pound and
sirloin tips four cents. Pork prices
were down about two cents
pound, but veal was unchanged
from last week.
The Dun and Bradstreet whole
sale food price index this week
declined one cent to S5.8l from
last week, compared with $6.61
year ago. The index represents
the total cost at wholesale of

Argentine Papers Cut Size
After Newsprint Seizure
sy the Assoeioted Press

BUENOS AIRES, Mar. 10
Argentine newspapers appeared in
smaller editions today in con-
formity with a government decree.
The government created a news
print pool from stocks expropri-
ated mainly from the great indie
pendent dailies, La Nacion and La
Prensa, and other newspapers
throughout the land. The two
papers owned more than half the
estimated 10000 tons of newsprint

was taken to save scarce dollars
and to give newsprint to all papers
to defend the liberty of the press

Stor Sfoff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Mar. 10.-A COM
mittee of the National Study
Conference on the Church and
World Order concerned with
American policy in Europe called
on the Senate today to postpone
action on the proposed North
Atlantic Pact until the Nation
has had opportunity for full dis
cussion of all its provisions and
Implications"
Chief concern of the motion
Icentered on the impact such an
alliance might make on Russia
and American relations with that
country.
One provision stated that no
defensive alliance should be en-
tered into which might well ap-
pear as aggressive to Russia as a
Russian alliance with Latin Amer
ican would undoubtedly appear to
U.S."
The resolution. however, de-
Tended regional pacts made "for
common security and welfare"
provided they stayed with the
framework of the United Nations,
were based on natural COM
|munity of interest" and pursued
this interest without jeopardizing
world community.
Goes to Whole Conference.
The motion now goes to the
conference as whole, which must
act on all resolutions before they
receive the official stamp of the
conference. The conference,
sponsored by the Department of
International Justice and Goodwill
of the Federal Council of Churches,
has 400 delegates representing 81
Protestant denominations and al
lied religious bodies. 1t opened
Tuesday and closes tomorrow.
During the debate this morning
the Rev. w. H. Jernagin of Wash
ington warned the gathering that
a positive statement showing that
white professionalism was concerned
about the Negro in this country
was essential as a countermove to
the appeal communism is making
to the colored people here.
There are 100000 Negroes
who are more than disturbed by
conditions here" Mr.. Jernagin
declared, they are fertile field for
communism. Unless the Protes-
tant leaders say something here
showing that white Professionalism
is concerned with their conditions
it will raise hob with the colored
people"
Dulles Urges Delay.
The question of Russian Amer
lean tension was in the forefront
yesterday. Delegates from other
sections crowded into the room
where the section discussing the
United States policy in Europe
held forth.
They heard John Foster Dulles,
an American delegate to the
United Nations. call for a full
dress debate by the Senate and
by the American public before a
definite pact commitment is made.
Il do not think that this con-
ference ought to indorse in any
way the objectives of the North
Atlantic pact" Mr.. Dulles de-
clared. I'VE do not know what
the pact is, and even If we had
the text we do not have the time
adequately to study it. 1t would
be irresponsible for this confer
ence to come out with an in
dorsement of the pact at this
time"
Speaks in Executive Session.
Mr.. Dulles spoke after the con-
ference heard Charles Bohlen,
counsel of the State Department.

Earlier in the day a debate arose
over the question. of admitting
newspapermen to the session, but

0Ieo Supporters Map
Floor Battle After
Setback in Committee

Oleomargarine supporters today
planned to take to the House floor
their fight to remove Federal
taxes and other restrictions on
the sale of the product.
The move was mapped after
oleomargarine hackers suffered a
setback yesterday in the House
Agriculture Committee. The COM
mittee approved. "a to 8, a bill re-
pealing oleo taxes, but at the same
time outlawing the sale of colored
oleo in interstate commerce.
This would mean that yellow
oleo could not be sold in a State
unless it was manufactured there.
If it should become law, the meas
ure would take yellow margarine
off the shelves of groceries in the
District and Virginia because there
are no manufacturing plants
either in Washington or Virginia.
Maryland Has Plant.
But Maryland users could con-
tinue to buy yellow oleo as there
is a Baltimore plant manufacture
ing the product.
The committee showdown in
the oleo fight came when a bill
by Representative Poage, Demo-
crat, of Texas that would have
erased the taxes and permitted
the interstate sale of oleo was
defeated, IA to 13.
Mr. Poage announced today he
will offer his bill in the House as
a Substitute for the committee
approved measure that was writ
ten by Representative Granger,
Democrat, of Utah and August
H. Andersen. Republican,. Of Min
nesota. Mr.. Poage predicted vic
tory for his bill.
Taxes that would be repealed. if
either measure becomes law. are;
On colored oleo at retail, 10
cents pound; on the uncolored
product at retail, "a cent pound;
$500 a year on oleo manufactur-
ers; $48O a year on wholesalers of
the colored product; 5000 a year
on wholesalers of uncolored oleo;
s48 a year on each retailer of the
colored oleo, and Sc year on re-
tailers of the uncolored product.
MiIlionS in Taxes
The Treasury estimates that the
government will collect about
s16,O00,0O0 from the oleo tax this
year unless it is repealed.
Mr.. Poage said the committee
approved bill continues an unfair
discrimination against oleo.
Mr.. Andersen said:
IF this bill (as approved by the
committee) becomes law. it will
stop to a large extent the liquida-
ton of dairy cattle. 1t will assure
ample supplies of milk, butter and
other dairy products, as we'll as
meat for consumers at reasonable
prices.
"It will also assure the people
of a supply of oleo that will be sold
to them for what it is and not as
an imitation of butter"
No date has been set yet for
House consideration of the
measure

buster fight, he also said the stu
alton does not force a choice at
this time. No rent control bill is
yet ready for Senate action.
Senator Pepper told the Senate
that if a minority group of Sena-
tors stationed themselves at the
doorways to the Senate chamber
and tried to bar every Senator
who did not share their views,
that would be unthinkable." He
argued, however, that unlimited
debate thwarts the Senate in its
efforts to legislate just as effec-
lively.
In the past Senate presiding
officers have held that the
present cloture rule cannot be
applied to a preliminary motion
but only to a bill that has become
the pending measure" The pur-
pose of the new rule is to make
cloture applicable at any time.
BY filing cloture petition to-
day under the old rule, therefore,
Democratic leaders are inviting
Mr.. Barkley to hold that the
Senate does not need new
rule to curb debate at any
time. If Mr.. Barkley lets the Pc
tition be filed today, he will. in
effect, be holding that the present
rule is broad enough to do what
the new rule is aimed at doing.
Southerners Would Appeal.
If he makes such a decision,
however, the Southerners are
ready to appeal from his decision.
That will bring the test vote, and
a majority will decide whether
Mr.. Barkley is right or wrong.
If the Senate reverses him, the
rules fight will be back where it
started last week. The leaders
could go on with efforts to wear
out the opposition, but with little
chance of success. Instead, it is
expected they would turn to other
Important legislation piling up on
the calendar, and prepare to come
back and fight another DAY over
the filibuster.
Possible Precedent.
A favorable decision for Mr..
Barkley would give the Senate a
precedent for curbing fllibusters
later on, as long as he is the Sem
ate's presiding officer. 1t would,
therefore. give the administration
hope Of getting action on the civil
rights program after other urgent
business is out of the way. The
civil rights bills are not ready for
action now, in any event. No
committee has considered these
measures since the new Congress
met.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia estimated. however, that
if all Senators are voting, so
would be against giving a broader
Interpretation to the old rule.
This would be one more than
majority. The entire Senate is not
expected to be recorded. however.
Close Vote Predicted.
Senator Knowland, Republican.
of California. a strong advocate of
a tighter rule, said he figured the
test vote would be decided by a
margin of three or four, either
way.
The 80 Senators who have
signed the cloture petition thus
far are:
Democrats - Anderson, Chavez,
Douglas. Green. Kilgore. Lucas,
Magnuson, McGrath. Mcmahon,
Miller, Murray. Myers, Nicely.
