MORE MEAT FORECAST
BY OFFICIAL OF OPA
(Continued From Page One)
on expectations that fall runs of
cattle and hogs will get under
way soon.
As to the arguments of critics
that restoration of price control
has brought about the present meat
situation, the OPA official said:
“Price control on meat does
not reduct the total supply that
will be available to consumers un-]
til the end of the short supply
period.
"On the contrary, it should ac
tually increase the total amount.
With predictable prices farmers
and ranchers will be able to plan
for better herds and droves.”
Continuing the Republican clam
or for the lifting of controls onj
meat in which some Democrats I
have joined, Jenkins said in a
speech prepared for a New Iberia,
La., meeting, that "the people are
losing patience.’’ .
"Paul Porter (the OPA adminis
trator) cannot laugh this off," Jen
kins said. “His failure has been
colossal.
“The President should take over
at once. Many innocent people
such as the grocers and the res
taurant keepers are suffering un
justly The President should be
fair enough to admit failure. He
should not wait to be forced into
action as in the Wallace case.
Dardanelles Demands
Renewed By Russians
(Continued From Page One)
Two of the Russian note's sharp
est passages were these:
(li If Turkey should take military
measures with non-Black Sea pow
ers after refusing Soviet proposals,
"this, of course, would run direct
1 vcounter to the interests of the
Black Sea powers.’ Russia no doubt
meant Britain and the United States
by "non-Black Sea powers,” since
both of these nations have upheld
Turkey's demand for an interna
tional conference tc settle the fu
ture of the Dardanelles.
(2) Turkey's expressed suspicions
that acceptance of Russia's pro
posals would infringe its sovereign
rights and liquidate * its security
are "absolutely unfounded. . . .
incompatible with the dignity of
the Soviet Union.”
Further, the Russians charged.
Turkey had reacned these conclu
sions aout its sovereign rights
“without and concrete considera
tions from the Soviet government
. . . and has not even made an
attempt at joint examination of the
Soviet proposals.”
Then according to radio Moscow
i and dispatches from Moscow, Rus
| sia pledged non-infringement of
Turkey’s sovereignity in return for
a tight Soviet-Turkish defense of
The Dardanelles. Turkey's continued
refusal to submit to joint defense
] of the strait, it said, “deprived the
Black Sea powers 01 the possibility
! of guarenteeing the security of this
area.”
“The Soviet government declares
that its note of Aug. 7 is in full
agreement witht the principals of
the United Nations and not only
answers the full interests of in
ternational trade but creates con
ditions for the maintenance of sec
urity of the Black Sea pow'ers.

Call On Mayor
Tonight executives of the bus and
trolley unions announced that if
pickets are removed permanent
ly, their men would return to work.
They asked Mayor David L.
Lawrence to find a way to make
Mueller withdraw his pickets.
Ironically, these same unions
joined in the wave of labor pro
test when the city tried to employ
an anti-strike injunction to prevent
the power union from walking out.
An overflow mass meeting of
S the union tonight voted against
acceptance of the company wage
: and pension offer, and as a result,
. Mueller said, “the strike is still
' on.”
He explained that the company
pension plan provided that the
union members contribute up to
2 per cent of their earnings to the
: plan, thus making the wage in
crease only 3 per cent.
An estimated 50,000 persons had
been made jobless oy the strike,
and losses in wages and produc
tion were believed to have run as
high as $ 100.000,000. However,
basic steel mills, which produce
their own power, were planning to
operate next week at 103 per cent
of theoretical capacity.
The Duquesne Light Co. has
maintained from 30 to 40 per cent
of its normal power output, but
could not promise to provide that
much beyond Sunday.

voted unanimously today to re

picket lines. The million daily
passengers of the Pittsburgh Rail
way Co. (a Duquesne affiliate)
would be without their regular
transportation for the duration of
the strikes.
John T. Morgan, business agent
of the 3.500 motormen, told them
before the vote;; “Mueller (presi

U. S. AND BRITAIN
WILL BACK TURKEY
(Continued From Page One)
government took a stand it could
never retreat in any major par
ticular.
The Turkish note to Russia, re
jecting Russia’s initial proposals
on Aug. 22, was based on American
and British assurances of sup
port. The best opinion here is that
Anglo-American envoys in Ankara
will have reaffirmed ^his support
automatically in response to the
new Russian action, but that for
mal reassurances .to the Turks
may be expected by Late next
week.
Russia announced her demands
through the Moscow press and ra
dio early today about the same
time that a copy of her latest note
to the Ankara government was
received here.
The developments was of ex
treme interest, informants said,
to American diplomatic officials
whose greatest concern over the
Greek crisis springs from an ap
prehension that behind the whole
thing may lie elaborate Soviet
plans to outflank the Dardanelles
by bringing about Communist con
trol of Greece,
Whether the Greek, Turkish and
probably related Iranian troubles
will come to a showdown point
soon is a question without author
itative answer at the moment.
American officials say and in fact
it. is a basic assumption of Amer
ican policy that there is no dan
ger of imminent war over these or
any other issues lying between
the Soviet Union and the Western
powers.
However, officials are equally
definite in saying that there is
no evidence worthy of inclusion
in policy considerations that any
thing which has happened in the
last two or three weeks has elimi
nated the danger of an eventual
complete breakdown of working
relations between Russia and the
West.
Five days after Stalin gave his
statements about war and peace
and Soviet relations with the rest
of the. world to a British corres
pondent, the best official opinion
here is that the chances are very
slight that he was maneuvering
for any basic change in Russian
! foreign policy. This is true even
though diplomats still find it hard
to explain otherwise his categori
cal assertion that he believes Com
munism and capitalism can exist
side bv side.
The two points of which Ameri
can authorities appear most cer
tain are that, first. Stalin was seck
. ing to caim down the Russian
people to whom in recent months
: his government has given a nerve
racking dose of war scare and,
second, that he was trying to re
capture Soviet prestige and some
of its following in lands outside
Russia where Russia and com
munism alike have been having
increasingly tough going.
A third point much speculated
upon is that Stalin was trying to
drive a wedge between the United
:States and Britain in order either
to render Britain a “neutral” in
i the conflict between the two great
i est world powers or to s wing it
eventually to Russia's side. If
this was an aim Foreign Minister
Bevin's speech yesterday calling
on Russia to halt her war of
nerves and the information today
that Britain and the United States
are holding to their close coopera
tion on the Turkish issue acquire
special significance.
