u. 5. Rejects Note
On REFUGEES Return

The United States has rejected
Hungarian request for the arrest
and return to Hungary Of refugee
crew members Of a Hungarian-So-
Wet airline plane which landed near
Munich in the American occupation
zone of Germany on January 4, the
State Department disclosed today.
Hungary charged the crew men,
bers with "embezzlement" OF the
plane and "the crime of violation
Of personal freedom" in carrying
abroad some passengers against
their will.
The United States countered that
1T would be a violation of the per-
sonal freedom Of these crew mem
bers if they were forced involun-
tarily to return to Hungary"
The State Department made pub
lie an exchange of notes between
the Hungarian Foreign Affairs Min
istry and the American Legation in
Budapest. The notes dealt only
with crew members, not mentioning
the planes passengers or disposal
Of the plane itself.
A department spokesman said that
when the plane landed at Munich
there were 81 passengers and crew
members aboard. Two of the crew
and two passengers returned i'm
mediately to Hungary voluntarily.
The remainder did not want to 60
back to Hungary and were given
asylum as political refugees by
American authorities.

pite the increase in the number OF
automobiles. In 1941, there were

In this connection, it was recalled
that the Hoover Commission on Re-
organization OF the Executive Branch
is reported to favor an arrangement
under which much accounting work
would be done in the agencies
themselves, cutting down on GAO

No Invitation Received.
White House Press Secretary
Charles Ross said the only word Mr..
Truman had on the Russian pro-
posal was from newspaper stories

that any ofiicial invitation had been

Standard White House response
to such feelers has been that the
President is willing to talk peace
any time but that the place to do
1t is Washington. Implicit also has
been the suggestion that acts by
Russia, rather than talk, would be
the best proof Of Soviet intentions.

He told the committee it will re-
store Federal precedent over State
laws which ban the closed shop in
all concerns engaged in interstate
commerce. The administration bill
would re-establish the closed shop.
The Taft-Hartley Act bans the
closed shop, but permits the union
shop under which the employer may
hire any one, provided they join the
union after they are hired.

Butter Price Support
Program Prepared
BY Administration
BY Malcolm lomborne, Jr

The administration is preparing q
nutter price support program which
Is expected to peg prices at about
current levels, it was learned today.
An Agriculture Department ofiicial
said the program should be made
public in about two weeks. Trade
sources, however, were of the opin.
ion the program would be un-
wrapped within few days.
Exceptionally good butter produce
ton for this time of year and the
fact that the wholesale price has
slumped close to the 80 per cent of
parity figure have forced the depart
ment to prepare a support program.
. The Government is required to
support many farm products when
their prices reach 9O per cent OF
parity for each commodity involved.
: One official, asked by a reporter
bow much the Government may
have to buy under the program,
commented:
I'VE hope none. We think the
mere announcement OF a program
will have the et1ect Of stabilizing the
Hrice."
It was conceded that the program
also would freeze the retail price OF
butter, unless retailers are Wl.ilng 10
trim their protlL margin. Inc OIL
fetal expressed the view tnaI the
spread beLWeen wholesale anu retall
butter prices was too large ana
could stand some trimming.
The department recently took the
same stand on bread prices, mann
tanning that there was too much
disparity between the tarm price OF
wheat and the price charged con-
Sumers for breaQ.
The retail price Of s2-score butter
Is 10 cents a pound in chain stores,
while 93-score butter Is 73 cents.
There two grades are the most
popular with housewives.

Hearing 10 Be Set Soon
On Prince Georges
Master zoning Plan

A public hearing before the Prince
Georges County Commissioners on
the proposed master zoning plan
for the county will be held soon.
A decision to advertise a hearing
was reached yesterday by the com.
missioners after pleas from Irwin
I. Main, chairman of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, and Robert M.
Watkins, a Prince Georges member
OF that group.
The issue has been sidetracked
by the commissioners since August,
when the plan was submitted by the
commission.
No date was set for the commits
sloners' hearing, on which q 30
day notice must be given. The
session will be the final opportunity
for county residents to state their
views. The plan provides for IA
zoning classifications. There now
are five.
Would Save Headaches"
MIR. Watkins said the plan would
not permit the commission to
"usurp" the authority of the COM
missioners over coming matters.
Harry w. McNamee, president OF
the commissioners, had expressed
fear the county heads would lose
over zonings. Instead, Mr..
Watkins reported, 1t would save
the commissioners q "lot Of head.
aches" by eliminating many public
hearings on individual coming re.
quests.
The commissioners approved a
request that the planning agency
be permitted to erect a building
near Magruder Park. Hyattsville
Mr.. Main said $25,0OO is available
for the purpose.
Jenkins Backed.
The commissioners recommended
to the State Welfare Department
that Harry T. Jenkins, suitland, he
named to replace H. Clay Whiteford,
Hyattsville, as q member of the
county Welfare Board. Mr.. White
ford resigned.
The Southwest Prince Georges

ing the Oxon Hill, Surrattsville and
Piscataway election districts, ad-
vised the commissioners 1t was op-
posed to the proposal to have an
