One OF the Nations major meat
packing plants will ltake a vacation
from cattle slaughtering this week.
It's officials blame Government
regulations.
But an Office of Price Stabiliza- :
ton official contended the blame
really belonged to Congress for
knocking out OPS-sponSored
slaughtering quotas. And the
officials said that unless quotas
are restored, black marketing may
develop.
Wilson g. Co. is the packer. 1t
informed its employees yesterday
that it will suspend cattle Slaught-
|er at it's Chicago plant this week
and one week out of every four
or five from now on.

Reason for the action. a COM
pany spokesman told the Asso-
ciated Press, is that the company
can't pay prices currently being
asked for cattle in the Chicago
market and still LOBBY OPS price

The OPS official emphasized
that even though the order allows
higher cattle payments, it does
not permit higher prices for meat
after slaughter. He commented
that ''it looks as if Wilson will
have a still poorer profit position"

But he also pointed out that the
company still can slaughter cattle
on full-time basis in other cities

Wilson also may well take up
some of the slack" at Chicago

official suggested.

The OPS spokesman urged res
toration of slaughter quotas to
correct the situation.
eff slaughter quotas were re-
stored there wouldn't be this prob
lem" he declared, asserting that
the quota system assured packers
of normal cattle supply. With
out quotas, the cattle may be di-
Iverted to black markets where
they can bring over-ceiling prices,

The quota question will be un-
der study in hearings on Capitol
Hill this week. President Truman
has asked for quota restoration.
Sources in the livestock indus
try contend prices of both live
stock and dressed beef were above
ceiling in Chicago last week.
Another large packing company
said legitimate packers have been
able to purchase only a small part
Iof their requirements since June
4, when cattle prices were brought
under OPS control. and that they

u. N. Group Charges
Red Bloc Is Building
Greek Guerrilla Net
BY the Associoted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Sept.
15.-A United Nations committee
charged today that six Russian
bloc countries are building up a
network of Greek guerrilla agents
for new attempt by the Com
muniSts to overthrow the Greek
government by force.
This report from the u. N Spe-
cial Committee on the Balkans
came close on the heels of a
strong protest by Yugoslavia
against alleged violations of its
borders by Albania troops. These
evidences of continued tension in
the Balkans have caused some
U. N. diplomats to argue that the
U. N must maintain a watchdog
group, such as the Special Com
mittee in that troubled area.
Assembly to Meet in Paris.
In its annual report to the Gen
eral Assembly, which will meet in
Paris November 6, the committee
asserted that Albania, Bulgaria,
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary
and Romania are giving aid to
Greek guerrillas. This type of ac-
tivity was said to be new version
of old Communist plans against
the Athens regime.
The committee recommended
that the General Assembly take
note of the evidence concerning
the existence in Eastern and Cen
trail Europe Of a network for the
training of clandestine re-intro-
duction into Greece of Greek
guerrilla agents for the purpose
of conducting Subversive activities,
espionage, sabotage, propaganda
and underground reorganization
of the Greek guerrilla movement
in Greece in preparation for an
attempt to overthrow the Greek
government by force.
THE report states that guer-
rilla bands re-entering Greece, al
though armed, are instructed to
avoid clashes with the Greek army.
Special Schools Set Up.
Underground reorganization of
q Greek guerilla network, the es-
tablishment of contacts with SYM
pathizers and subversive political
agitation designed to foment as
much discomfort as possible. di-
rected ultimately, as always, at
the overthrow of the Greek gov
ernment, have now become the
primary aims of the Greek guer-
rilla movement" the committee
report said.
1t added that special training
schools have been established for
Greek guerrillas in Czechoslovakia,
Hungary and Poland.
Greek guerrilla forces retreated
from the war torn country in 1949

necessary by regulations and we
nope that our employees and Gus

that conditions beyond our control
prohibit us from carrying on nor

statement said.
At OPS, an official said Wilson,
in cutting cattle slaughter to SO
percent of last years rate, "appar-
emily is taking advantage of our
order allowing any plant with a

that to pay above-ceiling prices. y

Arthur Krock Story
Only Spurs Backers Of
Eisenhower in 6. 0.p.
By Gould Lincoln

With Senator Taft of Ohio en-
gagged in rapid fire campaign
for the Republican presidential
nomination, supporters of Gen
Eisenhower planned to go into
many States this weekend to win
favor for the generals nomina-
ton on the G. o. P. ticket.
Senator Duff of Pennsylvania
a leader in the Eisenhower move
ment, returning from his foray
into Texas, will speak in Phila-
delphla tomorrow and then take
off for New Orleans. where he is
scheduled to deliver an address
Wednesday.
Republican efforts for the gen.
erals nomination appear to have
been intensified rather than les
sensed by the publication of a
story by Arthur Krock, head of
the New York Times Washington
bureau, asserting that President
Truman had offered to back Gen,
Eisenhower for the 1852 Democra- J.
tic presidential nomination. The
same story quoted Mr.. Krock's
informant as saying that Gen.
Eisenhower had implied rejection
of the Presidents offer, on the
ground that the general could not
go along with the Truman domes-
tic program-although not speci-
fically closing the door.
Republicans for Gen. Eisen-
hover who accept the Krock story
at face value now appear certain
|of one thing: the general will be
IN position next spring or early
summer to leave his present lob
IN Europe as supreme commander
of the NATO forces and return to
this country to accept a presiden-
tlal nomination if it is rendered
him. They argue that if President
Truman felt Gen. Eisenhower
could leave his European post to
take a Democratic nomination. he
also could do so to accept q Re-
publican nomination.
Insistance that Gen. Eisenhower
is indispensable" in Europe has
been one of the arguments used
frequently, by Republicans who
support Senator Taft and by
Democrats who believed Gen.
Eisenhower would not accept a
Democratic nomination but might
accept Republican call. Denials
by President Truman. the Eisen-
hover headquarters in Paris. and
by others in this country that any
offer was made by the President
to hand Gen. Eisenhower a Demo-
cratic presidential nomination,
have left many of the Republican
supporters of the general cold,
and they are preparing to take
advantage of any of the implica-
tions growing out of the reported
Truman offer.
Senator Duff, who visited Hous-
ton. Freeport. San Antonio, Fred
erlcksburg, Midland and MacAllen,
Tex. last week in the interests
OF the Eisenhower drive, said that
he believed the general would
have strong Texas support for
the presidential nomination. not
Withstanding the efforts made bv
Senator Taft and his friends to
line up the Texas Republican
convention delegation.
