Textile Co. Tries
TO Make A Buck BY
Selling Its Houses
Foce Eviction From
Company Owned
Housing Units
2 the past few years. LPA)

ATLANTA, Ga. (LPA)-More
than 900 workers have had to go
on strike against the Alec Man
ufacturing Co. in Rockinham, N.
c., in a desperate effort to pre-
vent their eviction from 1874
houses the company rents to its
workers.
Without offering the workers
time to have the houses even ap-
praised, the company demanded
last week that the workers i'm
mediately commit themselves to
buying the dwellings. Otherwise,
J the company - subsidiary of
N. LoeWenstein e. Sons in New
York - will sell the homes to
an outside purchaser, it threat
ened.
Must Fight
''The workers went on strike, "
Textile Workers-CIO President
Emil Rieve wrote to Housing Ex-
pediter Tighe Woods in Washing
ton, because they knew of no
other way to fight the threat to
the homes they had lived in so
long. They had little choice.
There Is no other housing of any
kind available to them"
The unions president asked
the housing expediter to re-es-
tablish rent controls over the
Rockingham area at once.
Restored control will at least
limit evictions to cases in which
the mill homes are acquired by
purchasers who intend to occupy
them," Rieve pointed out.
obviously the Loewenstein
company is trying to take ad-
vantage of the present short sup
ply and high price of housing to
unload this mill village. The
company is in splendid posi-
ton, from its own narrow, self
ish viewpoint.
Either the workers will buy
the houses because they have no
alternative, or a speculator will
buy them, evict those tenants
who are unwilling or unable to
pay evhorbitant rents, and seize
quick profit on resale or re-
rental" f"

Secretary of State Acheson ar
ranged two conferences today with
British Foreign Secretary Beyin

Schuman In an effort to speed
agreement on control Of the West

Excellent progress" was re-
ported by the three men after

hoped to complete their work to-
day so Mr.. Bevin can leave for
home tomorrow, but were pre-
pared to continue their sessions
if necessary.
Aim of the top-level conferences
here is to reconcile previously con-
f1icting views on how to control
the actions of a proposed West
German government.
A compromise agreement was
reported shaping up which would
partly meet both Frances demand
for tough controls over Germany
and the British-American desire
for centralized power in the new
German state.
Such an accord would pave the
way for merger of the French
occupation zone in Germany with
the already-merged British and
American zones.

Easter Foods
Supply Good,
Prices Steady
Merchants Here Set
For Heavy Buying Of
Eggs, Ham Next Week

Traditional foods for Easter, es-
pecially eggs and ham, are in good
supply in the Washington market
and probably will remain fairly
steady in price when retail buying
becomes heavy next week, dealers
said today.
The Easter egg outlook is par
ticularly promising. Henry Males,
chairman Of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association butter
and egg division. reported.
Retail stores already are stock
ing up for the expected holiday de-
mand. Mr.. Males said the supply
is plentiful and he sees little like
lihood at this time that wholesale
or retail prices will advance ma
terially.
Ham Prices Unchanged.
Chain store spokesmen said ham
is available in sufficient quantities
to meet Easter menus. They would
not predict the price trend because
of possible factors that might de-
velop in the general meat market
during the next week.
The retail price of ham and
pork, as well as most other meats,
was practically unchanged from
last week. Lamb continued in
short supply and slightly higher
in price, largely because of a
countrywide scarcity in recent
weeks. dealers explained.
Lettuce Goes Up.
Many vegetables. particularly
celery, asparagus, spinach and
cabbage. held to the downward
trend noted a week ago. Lettuce,
however, was up from 2 to 3 cents
a head in some stores. This was
described as a seasonal trend
found in many large cities in this
part of the country. Asparagus
showed the greatest overall drop
because of increased shipments
from California.
The Dun & BradStreet whole
sale food index went up cent
this week to $5.78, after a grad
ual decline during March. A year
ago at this time it was $6.70.
The figure represents the total
wholesale cost of a pound each
of 81 foods in general use.
