CHAKALES ATHENS, July nSV-Military circles expressed belief today that survivors of the 2500 guerrillas who, the government said, invaded Greece from Albania Sunday had withdrawn successfully eastward toward the towering Mt Grammos range near the frontier. Only scattered minor clashes were reported in the Mt Gamila area. The rebels' retreat was noted yes terday when Greek army units at tacked north of Ioannina, but failed to contact the main force. Military informants said they believed the insurgents were trying to reach their comrades on Mt Grammos, where national forces were harry ing another group of 2000. The larger party failed in an attempt to capture Ioannina, capital of Epirus.

Greek troops watched closely for developments along the Yugoslav and Albanian borders from Fiorina to Konitsa, an area pregnant with possibilities of new eruptions of bor der battle. Despite their apparent reversal the guerrilla chieftain, Markos Vifi- ades was reported in the Commu nist -dominated newspaper Elef- thena Ellada to have issued a proc lamation over a guerrilla radio asserting it was absolutely necessary tq create an independent Com munist government in what he termed the "free regions. The purported broadcast was said to have proclaimed that the guer rillas were "willing to come to an agreement but that establishment of a free state was necessary. One of the aims of the "free state was to "free Greece from intervention, whose aim is to turn Greece info the starting point for war in the Balkans. Prices Foreseen By MARVIN L.

ARROWSMTTB WASHINGTON, July 17. ff The American Meat Institute declared today with reseryationa that the Nation faces the cheerful prospect of more meat at "moderately lower" prices this fall J. R. Eggert, the institute's associate director of marketing, said in a statement prepared for the joint congressional committee on the economic report that his organization expects a 13 per cent increase in meat supplies by autumn. "It follows," Eggert said, "that Investigations O'de'red WASHINGTON, July 17.

Resolutions calling for separate investigations of the high cost of living and of the housing shortage were approved today by the Senate Banking Committee. Each inquiry would be conducted by a joint committee of senators and representatives, and each would have $100,000 in operating funds. moderately lower prices may be looked for at that time unless there are more wage increases and other developments which would further increase the public demand for meat" (The United Press, reported from Chicago that a market analyst warned that soaring com prices will raise the cost of every item in the housewife's food basket later this year. (H. M.

(Prices on this month's corn deliveries generally have been above the $2-a-bushel level for several weeks and have hit all-time highs of more than $2.20. The previous record price was $1J9 a bushel reached in September of 1919.) mm 1 Lower Meat Trio Have Sympathy With Taft-Hartley Act, President Says WASHINGTON, July 17. (JP) President Truman today named Robert N. Denham of Maryland to be general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board.

Denham, a Republican, was, appointed along with two new mem bers of the board, which is expanded under the Taft-Hartley Labor Law. They are Abe Murdock, former Democratic senator from Utah and J.

Fleming, civil service commissioner; Acheson, former undersecretary of state; and George H. Mead of Dayton, in dustrial executive. Truman said the three men are in sympathy with the Taft-Hartley Law which Congress enacted over his veto. Denham succeeds Gerhard P. Van ArkeL who resigned as general counsel of the NLRB yesterday predicting that unions will "boycott" the board.

Besides increasing the NLRB by two members, the new labor law expands the duties of the general counsel of the board. Denham will have extended powers and will act practically independent of the NLRB. It will be the general counsel's duty to decide whether to prosecute a union or employer the board" which will ait as tudae and ms decision will be final.1 Denham must be confirmed by the Senate. His salary will be $12,000 a year, EDUCATION BOARD Truman also named a board of 10 educators and officials to select American students who will study abroad with expenses paid by sales of war surplus. The board named includes Gen.

Omar N. Bradley, veterans administrator; Ernest Lawrence, University of California. Congress approved the arrangement last year. The State Department said 22 countries not including Soviet Russia are presently eligible to take part. Approximately 12,000 students have applied for scholarships and the first is expected to leave in a year.

The President said be was not surprised at the cold reception given his 10-year flood control program by Chairman Taber N.Y.) of the House Appropriations Com mittee.

HOUSE GROUP OK'S ARMS AID MEASURE WASHINGTON, July 17. The House Foreign Affairs Committee today approved legislation calling for arms standardization and military co-operation between the countries of the Western Hemisphere. The committee action limited the United States expenditure to for a five-year program.

The program is advocated by Secretary of State Marshall, Secretary of War Patterson, Secretary of Navy Forrestal, Army Chief of Staff Dwight Eisenhower and Chief of Naval Operations Chester Nimitz as essential to the security of the Western Hemisphere. Under its terms, the United States, drawing up its huge reservoir of military would supply the other Americas with modem weapons, ships and planes. This bill also would permit this country to send military missions to train its hemisphere neighbors in modern warfare. the fire apparently started at the vision leaders of the Young Demo-rear of the Lerman warehouse, crats declaring there would be no whtrh wax eonrnltelv rfrtrnvH official nartfrintfiiw ttt-i 1 with its contents, mostly clothing and blankets.

The Southern Pacific faced a strike threat today as a long simmering dispute with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers came to head. Strike deadline was set for 8 pjn. Monday by the Brotherhood unless the company, agrees to grant 19 de mands before that time.

If the strike takes place it would halt movement of passenger and freight service ever 16,000 miles of track and affect some 25,000 of the carrier's 80,000 employees. 7 And in addition, it would halt oumern faeine operations over ft large part of the West, from Portland to Los Angeles, and East to Ogden, to Tucumari, N3i and XI Pasa Texas. It would also involve the line's California subsidiaries, the Northwestern Pacific and the San Diego and Arizona Eastern. PARLEY BSOEZN OFF Harrison Hobart, assistant grand chief of the Brotherhood, an nounced the intended strike late last night, saying that negotiations between the union and, the company, which had their beginnings seven years ago, were broken off. "All engineers of the three railroads have been notified of Our failure to reach an agreement and they will, therefore, leave the serv ice at the stated time," Hobart said.

He accused the Brotherhood of "ignoring" recommendations of a special emergency board under the Railway.

LONG AUTHORIZED The strike threat comes at a time when any interruption of this railroad's service would be most harmful to farmers and businessmen. especially shippers of perishable food products," Mercier asserted.

P. O. Peterson, general chairman of the. Brotherhood who joined Ho bart in issuing the strike call, said the strike had been legally auth orized since January. He said the union had exhausted its efforts to reach a settlement with the carriers through the Na tional Mediation Board set up under the Railway Act.

Because of the Railway Act, rail road; workers are not affected bv the new Taft-Hartley Labor Con trol Law. Peterson said the Board held jur isdiction for 32 months during the war and afterwards proposed arbi tration. The Brotherhood accepted arbitration, he said, but the Southern Pacific declined. S.

So you haven't had the" "Atom Talking Blues" sung to you? And you haven't had one of the "people's singers croon the ballad in your ear giving out with lines like "we hold these truths to be self-evident: all men may be cremated equal? Then you're not Irving.

paL -At east not in left wing union halls where thejfre showing that great super-colossal one reeler "Old Man Atom Is Here to Stay, but Are We?" Far be it from me to leave this old and somewhat bloody beat of mine and turn movie critic. But "Old Man Atom" isn't really the movies. WELL PLANNED It's left-wing propaganda well planned, incisive left-wing propa ganda being prepared for the work ing stiffs all over the country in their "union halls, tfhey will come to hear about bread and butter but will Stay to see moving pictures which in folk ballad, no less, will tell them in effect why we should de-atomize the A-bomb stockpile or maybe let some guy called Joe know how to build them. And the official Communist press sends word to. its busy little activists in their union cells to get the film shown in labor halls.

HOW IT WORKS That's how it works on. the prop aganda front in the battle to control the minds of working stiffs in every union. That's just one movie-trailer bit of the fight to capture the propaganda channels to the minds of the duespayers who more or less innocently take it as part of the show their officers are putting on for them. Education," the pro-Commies call it Propaganda, it is. Propaganda in the struggle now well under way to line U.S.

labor up with the pro-Soviet bloc in the international diplomatic (and shooting) war. The subtle leftist labor campaign is under way against the Marshall Plan; against U.S. foreign poliey; and for the "international sweeping into the headlines. UNION WARNING Arid today's column is by way of warning union leaders and the dues- paying crowd that Communist prop aganda agents throughout the coun try especially in New York, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and Los Angeles are being briefed daily on how to use the pro-Communist "news service, the union folk-dance groups, the study classes, the leftist book clubs, the Communist choral groups (which jive out prop aganda skillfully written for them by some of the bright young song writers in Hollywood and along Broadway; the elaborately lefty "labor" school set-ups, and the 16 mm. propaganda films, many su pervised by pro-Communist profes sional movie people.

DONE WITH MIRRORS Have you wondered how the handful of Communists are able to control such powerful unions? Have you wondered, too, how their line is so painlessly jabbed into union members that the working guy and his wife frequently repeat the propaganda as though it were something they themselves suddenly discov ered! Well, it is done with trick mirrors. The comrades do it through their almost complete domination of. the union servicing field. And there is little competition because the union chiefs who should care, are too cynical to bother with "trash like labor movies." Well, wait until the cynics hear some of those atom blues ballads. They'll be jived right out of their complacency.

curity Council president, as the council met in extraordinary session in an atmosphere intensified by the fighting in Northern Greece. "It is necessary that Greece be extricated from the network of international power Lahge said in demanding the withdrawal of foreign troops. PRIMARY TROUBLE Lange said the primary trouble in the Balkans must be attributed to the internal situation in Greece, aggravated by the presence of for eign troops. The present government in Greece is a coalition of the major parties, with the Communists and other leftist groups excluded. Lange vigorously opposed the American proposal for a semi-per manent U.N.

Commission in the Balkans on the ground that this seemed to be based on the assump tion that the three Soviet satellites Albania. Bulgaria and Yugoslavia were to blame for the Balkan trouble. Poland's demands were supported by Dr. Joza Vilfan, former Attorney General of Yugoslavia, who -followed him with a 23-page speech despite efforts of Herschel V. John son, deputy VS.

delegate, to cut off the general debate. Vilfan criticized the United States for supporting the recommendations of the Balkan Commission which he said were in "direct Violation" of the U.N.' charter and "also include elements of intimidation." The Council plunged again- into the Balkan question after postpon ing until August JKany discussion on Egypt demand jtor the withdrawal of British troops from Egyptian soil. U.S. STANDS FIRM Doctor' Lange said he must support Russia's conclusions that Greece was primarily to blame for the current Balkan disorders rather than her northern neighbors. As the session began Johnson told newsmen the United States was standing firm on its proposal for a border watch in the troubled area, but was willing to accept amendments as long as they did not change the heart of the proposal.
