Adenouer Warns France
On CHANCES in Soor

The Saar, long a principal
source of coal not only for Ger
many but for French industry
as we'll, emerged today as one
of the chief topics of discussion
in French Foreign Minister Schu-
mans round table talks with Ger
man leaders in Bonn.
West Germany's Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer, contending
that the Saar mines are still
German property. told newspaper
men yesterday that if France
wants to lease them she should
negotiate with the Western Ger
man government, not the Saar ad-
ministration.
DR.. Adenauer also warned that
unilateral changes in the Saar's
status prior to signing of a peace
treaty would strengthen the
hand of Russia, which is seeking
one-sided change in Germany's
Eastern border.
Mr.. Schuman told reporter "an
understanding between France
and Germany is already in pro-
gress and is possible"
The Saar, which voted in 1885
to end it's internationalized status
and join Hitlerite Germany, has
been integrated economically with
France since We Day. The ques-
tion of political control remains.

CHATHAM, Eng, Jan, IA
Frogmen confirmed today that
only the dead remain in the
smashed and silent hull of the
submarine Truculent, but one sea-
man, officially listed as a victim
turned up alive.
He had been given leave be-
cause of illness in his family.

statement listing the 10 known
dead and the 81 missing officers,
seamen and dockyard workers.
Fifteen were rescued. The name

bother him, even with congratula-
tions, while there Is sickness in

dred sailors and salvage experts
worked on preparations to raise
the submarine.
A small boat eased to shore with
six naval divers and four frogmen,
their eyes bloodshot from under

miralty salvage sections. Theirs
is long job and they can take
their time"

The hulk is heeled over 35 to As

Much Accomplished
AT CeyIon Farley,
Delegates Report
BY the Asseeiofed Press

COLOMBO. Ceylon, Jan. IA
The five-day British Common
wealth conference ended today
with delegates declaring unani-
mously that much had been &C
complished though results might
not be apparent Immediately.
At the conferences only open
session, Foreign Minister Percy c.
Spender of Australia declared:
1--WE live under the shadow of ap-
preaching storm. Whether it will
break upon us or pass by, we feel
the urgency about our delibera-
tions and that time has not been
in our favor"
The nearest approach to a con-
crete result came from an Aus
tralian proposal-a determination
to help Southeast Asia raise it's
living standards to counter COM
muniSm.
The conference agreed to place
before the eight governments rep
resented a recommendation to es-
tablish a consultative committee
to plan program of self-aid and
mutual help in Southeast Asia.
The Commonwealth countries are
to assess the amount of credit and
technical assistance they can
make available for the develop
ment program. The consultative
committee is to meet in Canberra,
Australia capital, within a few
months. The delegates were un-
derstood to hope for United States
aid in such a program.
An Australian observer contend
ed that Australia had stolen the
show" by producing the only real
plan of action. The Australian
delegation called it a new con-
|cept of Commonwealth" relations,
but not all delegates shared this
enthusiasm.
A second agreement was the in
dorsement "in principle" of a
Commonwealth loan to strengthen
independent Burma's internal f.
nances. Although this never was
announced officially. delegates said
all but Canada and South Africa
would recommend their govern
ments that blocked sterling be
made available to Burma in the
form of loan. Britain is expect
ed to contribute about half of the
loan of f7,5O0,O0O 1921 900, ,000).

ton, Mr.. Derrick said the loss to
members will be about $4,000 a
day during the strike. Part of
this loss would result from selling
the milk at the cheaper rates paid
for milk made into dairy products.
The association furnishes 86 per
cent of the milk brought into the
area. The other is supplied by
about $50 independents. One of
these. the Capital Milk Producers
Association of Frederick, Md,
supplies Highland Farms with

The Highland Farms dairy
which operates IS retail stores,
said it expects 70 continue opera
tions throughout the strike. The
management hopes to step up its
sales. with the purchase of addi-
tional milk, but will add no new
employees.
Union officials figured that 750
retail drivers, $50 wholesale driv-
ers and 750 plant workers were
made idle by the walkout. the first
general strike by the union since
it was activated here in 1923.
The principal sore spot from the
unions standpoint was the en-
ployers' suggestion that all dairies
shut down completely on Sundays
in return for shorter work week.
M. H. Burchell. president of the
Alexandria Dairy and chairman
of employer negotiators, said
union demands would force an in
crease of two to three cents a
quart for milk unless the plants
cut operating costs by closing Sum-
days.

Milk Users Stage Run
On Stores, Cleaning
Out Supplies Quickly

Scenea reminiscent of the Great
Shortage" in the war were re-
peated yesterday when milk con-
sumers rushed to Washington area
groceries to buy up the dwindling
supply as a strike closed all major
dairies here.
A spot check of groceries in the
area revealed that tomorrow will
find most stores either completely
out of milk or down to a few
quarts. Customers began laying in
extra supplies as soon as word of
the strike got around.
The situation at the Shirley
Food Store, Glebe and Columbia
roads, Arlington, appeared to be
typical.
Seymour Krengel, manager, said
he normally orders 1000 quarts
for his Saturday business. This,
under normal conditions, would
allow him to have enough milk
left over Monday morning until
new delivery arrives:
Sold Out Before Closing Time.
However, yesterday he was sold
out completely before closing time.
At the Master Super Market,
4102 Mount Vernon avenue, Alex
andria, run was evident.
Bernard Freedman, manager,
said he got wind of the strike
beforehand and ordered 1000
quarts for Saturday, double his
normal order. He had disposed of
1.500 quarts several hours before
closing time.
Mr.. Freedman said he normally
sells about 800 quarts of the 1000
he orders. leaving the rest for the
next morning for the period be-
fore the delivery.
Man Gets Is Quarts.
In one Safeway Store. a middle
aged man rushed in, grabbed a
wire basket and rolled over to the
milk section at top speed. There
he helped himself to IS quarts,
pretty we'll loading the basket.
In another store, one mother
took the normal two quarts and
was leaving the milk counter when
she heard about the strike. She
rushed back and got the last two
quarts in the store.
Many late customers settled for
buttermilk or chocolate mix. but
even those two items were almost
exhausted at closing time in sev-
eral stores checked.
One man solved the whole prob
lem rather neatly. He wandered
over to the milk counter and be-
gan looking for a quart. A clerk
told him there was no more milk.
He shrugged his shoulders and
took two cans of beer from an
adjoining freeze compartment.
I'D rather drink beer, anyway"
he said.

Raw Milk Used
To Beat Strike
Must Be Boiled

DR.. c. c. Dauer, chief of the
Health Departments Bureau OF
Preventable Diseases. last night
issued warning to those who ex-
pect to cope with the milk strike
by getting raw milk from farmer
friends.
Raw milk, said DR.. Dauer, should
be heated in a double boiler with
the water boiling at least 80 min
utes or the milk itself should be
thoroughly boiled.
DR.. Dauer pointed out that milk
spoilS quickly in hot weather and
raw milk won't keep as long as
pasteurized milk.
Unless precautions are taken
with raw milk. DR.. Dauer warned,
it could produce typhoid fever,
undulant fever or a sore throat.

strike was felt along the produc-
ton line-the distributor, the
wholesaler and the producer, and
it meant that nearly 100000 gall
Ions of milk had to be diverted
from the Washington milk shed.
This latter problem meant an
all-night job for Bruce B. Derrick,
secretary-treasurer of the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Producers
Association. The job was to find
consumers who could use up the
Washington milk during the
strike.
A quick switch permitted the
association to divert 10000 gallons
to Comico Products Corp. of Alex
andria, to be made into cheese,
condensed milk, ice cream mix,
butter and other products.
But the company was unable to
take another $4,000 gallons which
rolled up to it's door in 20 trucks.
and it was necessary to put this
milk on ice. where under good
conditions it will keep for a day
or two.

ton milk to perhaps 40 dairies in
