By the Assoeiatsd Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, July
I12.-New York City police today
investigated complaints Of "hooli-
ganism" outside the Park Avenue
headquarters of the Russian dele
CATION to the United Nations.
Soviet Delegate Jacob A. Malik
wrote American Delegate Warren
r. Austin July saying about 20
persons demonstrated there June
80. He said they shouted hostile
remarks, scratched delegation
Ilimousines and accosted persons
entering the building.
Acting Soviet Delegate Semyon
K. Tsarapkin wrote Mr.. Austin
this week that a group Of 60 to 80
persons repeated the demonstra-
Ition last Saturday.
Both complaints said police
failed to interfere.
DR.. Kalman Molnar said both
demonstrations were staged by the
Hungarian-Am American Foundation,
of which he is district president,
to call public attention to mass
arrests in Communist Hungary.
He said the group shouted "the
rope for Stain" and stop the
deportations" and booed Russians
entering the buildings.
Mr.. Austin handed the COM

Voice RidicuIes Red Claim
OF Victory in Korea War
BY the Associated Press

The Voice of America is coun-
tering with ridicule the Communist
propaganda that the Kaesong
cease-f1re talks show Red victory
in Korea.
The State Departments inter-
national broadcasts yesterday ac-
cused Russian Premier Stain of
trying to make a propaganda
holiday" out of the talks. The
reference was to claims that the
United Nations conferees come to
Kaesong as supplicants for peace.
The voice asked Stain, how
ever:
What are you going to do with
the one real fact everybody knows
that Malik had to cry enough
for both the Chinese volunteers
and the North Koreans, because
they were too busy dying under
the whitening f1repower' of the
United Nations army to cry it for
themselves"
That harked back to the broad
cast address by Jacob Malik,
Soviet delegate to the U. NJ, in
which he advocated peace talks.
The speech prompted the U. N.
to propose the conferences. .

Alaska Restaurants Now Under OPS
 Ceiling Price Rules

JUNEAU, OPS Restaurants, caterers and roadhouses in Alaska are now under a specific ceiling price regulation, Fred c. Hanford, Territorial Director of the Office of Price Stabilization, announced recently All restaurateurS must adjust their prices each 4 months starting April 1.
 The regulation requires reStaur- ant operators to adjust their pri- ces of meals according to what their food costs were. It requires the operators to select a base per iod which may be either the en- tire calendar year of 1949, or the 12-month period ending June 30, 1850. Income tax reports will be sufficient in establishing a base period. >
 Purpose of the base period is to establish a food-coSt- dollar of gross sales. For example, if gross income in the base period was S5O,O0O, and the cost of the food for this period was S25,000, the food cost per each dollar of in come would be soc. At the end of this 4-mGnths period (April 1 to August D, athe restaurant owner must re-figure his income against cost and, if his food costs have gone up, he may increase his menu prices to reflect the in- crease. However, if his food costs have gone down in this period, he must adjust his m enu prices downward accordingly.
 Main idea, Hanford said, is to maintain the same foodcost-per- dollar as was in effect before the Korean war. The regulation makes no provisions for passing on in- credSeS m flXeQ operating eX- penses.
 Rates and fees charged by hos pitals- and schools are exempt from ceiling price regulations, the Territorial OPS announced re- gently. Flowers and floral prod ucts are also exempt under a new ruling.
 The OPS also took cognizance of tourist trading of handicraft work by Indians. There. is no ceiling price. on this merchandise, said OPS, as long as the article was handmade by Indians.

|0n Dollhouse Sales
By jones Y. Newton

The Federal Reserve Board to.
day was trying to persuade bank,
and other lenders to require buy.
lers of old houses to pay as higf
down payments as purchasers o.
new homes must pay under com.
pulsory credit controls.
This would mean that all buy.
,ers who are not veterans woule
have to make down payments
ranging from 10 per cent or
l$5. 900 homes to so per cent or
houses costing $24,250 or more
whether the houses are new OF
old. Veterans would be required
to pay five to As per cent down.
The request was made of the
lending institutions by the 16-man
committee in charge of the volun-
Itary credit restraint program the
Reserve Board has been sponsor
ing. The committee Is composed
OF officers of banks. insurance
companies and building loan
associations.
President Truman has asked
that higher down payments on
old houses be written into new
imitation control law; but Con-
gress has given no assurance 1t
would follow the suggestion.
The Reserve Board yesterday
decided informally, but definitely,
