OPA said that because there are
no ceiling prices on li'e lambs oi
sheep, some .eat retailers have
been paying excessive prices iw
these animals, having them cus
tom .slaughtered and then sellJ g
the meat at above-ceiling puces.
Refund Difference
The new program, OP said,
is designed to discourage custom
slaughtering. It requir s slaugh
terers to refund to animal owners
the difference Litween the sum
of the cost of the animal ana the
slaughtering fee on the one hand,
and the average wholesale price
ceiling on e meat obtained.
OPA said that under these
circumstances, packers will be
reluctant to accept custom slaugh
ter jobs. The agency hopes this
will divert su; rlies to larger
packers.

Governor Cherry said the state
was prepared to spend $1,000,000
on the project and build a drydock
for use of government as well af
merchant vessels. The funds, he
said, would be raised via state
port bonds.
Further, present shipyard facili
ties would be maintained on a
stand-by basis for future ship
building in case of an emergency.
To Spend $1,000,000
“The commissioners sensed oui
view that with that exchange—the
entire yard in return for a dry
dock, yard maintenance, and a $1,
000,000 expenditure — the state
would have to pay no money to the
commission in the transaction,”
Broughton said. “Furthermore, the
government would save the upkeep
cost, which is estimated at $25,000
monthly.”
Maritime Commissioners John

If the USO is abolished and a

If an adequate budget were to

Molotov was said to have dis
agreed, asserting that the Big
Three decision in Moscow required
the major powers to draw up com
plete joint drafts of treaties for
submission to the 21-nation con
ference.
Byrnes had put forth the propos
al when the ministers split once
again—this time on the question oi
Italian reparations. It was under
stood Molotov was wiring b’s gov
ernment for instructions, ai.d that
Bidault and Bevin were doing like
wise.
However, there was little indie a
tion here that the Russians would
agree. Moscow long has opposed
multilateral settlements beyond
the major powers.
Byrnes suggested the ministers
might meet in Paris three or fout
days ahead of June 15, to adopt a
joint report to the larger meeting
listing points of disagreement.
At this juncture the matter was
tabled for the time being. The
ministers instructed their deputies
to draw up such a list of agree
ments and disagreements, to be
presented to Thursday’s session.
Thus, on the first anniversary
of common victory in Europe, the
Deputy Foreign ministers were
put to work on a draft of the major
differences among wartime allies.
This failure t0 break the deadlocks
on any of the major issues seemed
here to foreshadow a makeshift,
heavily armed peace rather than
the one of harmony upon which a
year ago the war-weary world had
pinned its hopes.
