Plans Price Order |
Protest Thursday , |

Some restaurant men are going
Ito lay their beefs before price
control officials Thursday night
and tell them what they think
lis wrong with the restaurant price
control order.
According to Norman A. BomZe,
proprietor of the Four Hundred
Restaurant, 1923 F street NV.
and president of the Restaurant
Beverage Association. the regula-
Ition, effective April /, docs just
nothing"
Mr.. Bomze said his association
met last Thursday night and de-
cided to petition the Office of
Price Sterilization for amendment
to the order. Just what shape
the proposed amendment will take
Mr.. Bomze was not prepared to
say.
Another restaurant industry
spokesman, Robert j. Wilson
executive vice president of the
Washington Restaurant Associa-
ton, said today he believes most
restaurant men will not object
to the regulation. however.
Affects MAKEUP Percentage.
The restaurant order announced
by OPS last week prohibits an eat
ing place from higher percentage
markups above food costs than it
made before the Korean war
started. The OPS said this may
mean that some menu items will
go up but that, if the restaurateur
had increased his average mark
ups since last June, he will have
to roll them back.
Marion w. ISbell, head Of the
OPS restaurant division, said he
expects fewer than half of the eat
ing places will increase their prices
if other food prices do not 60 up,
and he expects that food prices
will not go up.
Mr.. Bomze said restaurants
want to maintain their volume of
business and they can not do so
with present food prices. Even If
they raised prices, he added, the
patrons would not pay them.
We've already said we would
rather have dollar-and-cents CELL
ing prices with a rollback and
food prices frozen at the pre-
Korean level" he said. But then
you run into the question of agri-
cultural parity, and that gums up
the whole thing"
Says Plan Is UnenfOrceable.
Mr.. Bomze said ceiling prices
such as were in effect during
World War II are enforceable
while the system going into ef-
feet April l is not. Under The
former system. he explained, you
printed on the menu that your
prices were no higher than in a
certain period.
Then, if a patron saw that
the price had been raised he
would go and complain about It,
Mr.. Bomze said. The same thing
was true in grocery stores, where
they posted their ceiling prices.
If the consumer isn't the police
man. you can't really do anything
to control prices"
Mr. Isbell and Vincent A.
Holmes, District director of OPS.
will address the meeting at $50
pm. Thursday. Owners Of res

tells and other places that serve

Spanish Deal Is VITAL Senator Smith Asserts

British and French governments
against their opposition to Span
ish negotiations with the United
States, the foreign ministry an
nounced last night.
Spanish Ambassadors in London
and Paris delivered the notes FRI
day, the announcement said.
The two governments were
warned, it continued. that they
would bear complete responsible
ity for the "unfriendly attitude"
shown in their opposition to the
Spanish American negotiations
and which create states of opin-
ion prejudicial to pacific relations
between peoples"
Both the British and French
governments have been outspoken
in their opposition to the United
States moves to negotiate with
Spain for military installations in
Spanish territory as a part Of the
defense of Western Europe. Both
governments regard the regime of
Generalissimo Francisco Franco
as Fascist and say they fear
dealings with him will harm the
West by providing Communist
countries with ready-made propa-
ganda material.

Burmese Communist forces

zone gradually to the frontier
areas adjoining Red China.
Their big holdings had been in
Central Burma and the northward
movement is looked on as strate-
gic one for international Commu-

as a retreat.
American officials here express
a fear that the Red Burmese may

will give them easy access to sup
ply and training facilities in
lChina's Communicated Yunnan
province.
Foreign observers here feel that
a linkup of Burmese and Chinese
Reds along the Yunnan frontier
could mean rapid buildup of
Burmese Communist forces like
the buildup of Ho Chi Minis

China on another frontier with

Wife Gives Icebox Away

BY the Associated Press

ALLENTOWN. Pa, July 30
Mrs. John Kropf, 65, gave away
her old-fashioned icebox to q
junkman and bought a new cleo
trio refrigerator.
The junkman carted the box
away but left it aboard his truck
which he parked on vacant lot
over the week end.
Two youngSters-Arthur Ross,

to play on the truck. Accidentally
they kicked open the icebox.
Inside was a small green box
wrapped in newspapers. And in
side that-$13,815 in cash. Some
of the paper money was mouldy
Arthur hurried to his father
who inspected the box and found
the Kropf address scratched on
the side.
Mrs. Kropf was astounded. She
said her retired farmer-husband
now 81 and i'll, apparently had
saved the money and then
cached it away in the icebox.
She rewarded the children for
finding the treasure, then de-
posted the cash in the Allentown

Strike Votes Ordered
AT Ford and ChrysIer
Over Work Disputes
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, July 30.-Threats
of strikes hung over sections of
the motor car industry today.
Ford and Chrysler are the. af-
fected concerns.
Employees at the Ford wheel
plant in Monroe, Mich, decided
yesterday to take a strike vote.
A spokesman for Local 1923 Of the
CIO United Auto Workers said
the strike vote probably would
be taken this week. They have
agreed to return to work mean
while.
Employees at the Chrysler Corp.
Dodge main plant here are sched-
uled to take formal strike vote
Friday in a dispute over produc-
ton standards.
Company officials said a long
shutdown of the vital Monroe
plant eventually would force the
closing of Ford plants through
out the Nation.
The 1000 workers at Monroe
walked off the job last Wednes-
day in dispute the union said
was caused by a breakdown in
collective bargaining" The union
asserted the management refused
to cooperate with union leaders
on plant problems.
Some $4,000 Dodge main plant
workers staged three-day walk
out last week but they voted Satur-
day to return pending a formal
strike vote.
The dispute started over the
firing of two men accused by the
company of failing to meet pro-
duction standards.
General Motors Saturday started
a series of staggered layoffs which
it hopes will avert future mass
layoffs of GIN workers. Company
officials estimated some $4,000
Michigan GIN employees will be
temporarily laid off by August 49,
The national figure was expected
to reach 175,000.
