CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Wilson &

nounced today it will suspend cat
tie slaughter for all of next week.
A company statement said it was
forced to reduce it's cattle
slaughter to not more than so
per cent of the cattle slaughtered
for the same period one year ago"
because of Government price reg
ulations.
1--WE have given," the statement
said, serious consideration to
how our cattle slaughter can be
limited to so per cent with the
least loss and inconvenience to
our employees, our customers and
the company.
1--WE have concluded that a COM
plete shutdown of our cattle
slaughter and related departments
for one week each period is the
most practicable solution"
The period referred to is the
company's accounting period
which varies from four to five
weeks.
Cattle slaughter will be resumed

said, but during next week GER
tain employees in that and related
departments will be laid off. The

Iran Threatens 10 ASK
For Russian Imports
Il British Tighten Ban
Soviets Ready to Supply
Vitul Sugar Shipments,
Deputy Premier Declares
BY the Associated Press

TEHERAN. Iran, Sept. 15.-
Deputy Premier Hossein Fatemi
said today Iran will turn to Russia
for vital sugar imports if Britain
continued its ban on shipments to
Iran of this and other scarce
goods.
Fatemi told newsmen British
economic pressure would only
increase anti-British feeling in
Iran," he added:
Russia is prepared to increase
its quota Of sugar shipments II
we ask for it."
Britain announced this week II
is cutting off shipment of supplies
to Iran. Cargoes of vital prod
ucts destined for Iran were or
dered diverted. This action fol-
lowed an Iranian ultimatum to
Britain to resume negotiations on
oil naturalization talks within
two weeks or British technicians
at the Abadan refinery center
would receive their walking tick
let's.
Report Four Ships Halted.
Commenting on report four
British ships had been stopped in
the Persian Gulf and their car
goes of sugar and other supplies
were impounded. Fatemi insisted
Iran had enough essential goods
on hand to last year.
Sugar is one of the main essen
tials in the Iranian diet and any
shortage would hit every family in
the land. The main diet of the
poorer classes is heavily sugared
tea and bread. During a World
War II shortage, a kilogram of su-
gar (2.21 pounds) sold for as much
as 100 rialS, or the equivalent of
two days wages for an average
worker. A rial is valued at about
3 cents. Present prices run from
Is to % rials kilogram.
| Western observers discounted
Fatemi's talk Of buying more su-
gar from Russia because Soviet
shipments under a 1O-month-olo
RuSSian-Iranian trade treaty are
tagging. Fatemi acknowledged
Russia has supplied only 10000
tons out of 50,000-ton quota.
Asked About Loan.
When retiring United States
Ambassador Henry F. Grady called
on Premier Mohammed Mossadegh
for a farewell visit today, he was
asked why the United State:
Export-Import Bank loan of $2s
million was being held up.
There have been reports here
the bank is concerned over Trans
prospects of repaying the loan now
that Trans oil revenues have been
stopped.
Under the agreement, the loan
was to be repaid in convertible
sterling but Britain this week
banned conversion of Iranian-
held sterling into dollars.
MosSadegh was reported to have
told Mr.. Grady Iran has enough
local funds to pay laborers who
would operate machinery pur-
chased with local loan funds. II
was understood here that one OF
the reasons the loan was held ur
was because the bank directors

Although it was somewhat short
of a barrage fired in the east by
several divisions last May, 1t was
by far the heaviest division per-
formance ever recorded in East
Korea and by far the heaviest in
the current battle.
The tremendous fire was called
in as the Allied Command, weary
of the Communists fanatical hill
defense, decided to give the Reds
a taste of real fire-power before
sending the Allied infantry back
to the attack.
The foot assaults of the past
two days have been slowed by

In the blazing sector north Of
Yanggu, where the hills sweep up

take one of several peaks but
frankly failed to take the others.

TOKYO, Sunday, Sept. 16.-The
Red China radio today charged
the United Nations with new viola
tions of the neutral zone at Kae-
song, site of the suspended Korean
armistice talks.
The Peiping broadcast quoted
a Communist correspondent in the

the alleged violations occurred
within the past several days-since

taken air violation September IL,

primarily with another Commu-

craft bombed Kaesong last Mon
