KECORD-BREAKING SALES REPORTED Supplies in Chicago, St. Louis and Memphis Exhausted --Cuts Carried Out by Armload. the Associated Press Butcher shops in many large cit-es reported record-breaking sales Saturday as housewives stormed retail counters in large numbers to stock up on meats in anticipation of a widely predicted shortage. The heavy week-end buying followed a week of the lowest livestock receipts on record and the announcement of reimposition of OPA ceilings on retail meat prices next Tuesday. Some packers said by next week there "would not even be lunch meats" available in retail channels.

The National Association of Retail Meat Dealers said "we are going to see the.worst meat shortage we've ever had." Receipts at All-Time Low. Chicago stockyards reported an all-time low in livestock receipts Saturday, with only 200 cattle, 300 hogs and 800 sheep delivered. This compared to a run of 40,000 cattle alone at the huge yardb 10 days ago, a record, as farmers rushed stock to market for record- breaking prices before reimposi- tion of OPA controls. The Chicago situation was general throughout the nation. The big jam of livestock slowed down to a trickle last week.

Traders said the slim receipts was due either to producers cleaning out their animals at the high prices or else their refusal to market at the new livestock ceiling levels which into effect August 29. The American Meat Institute, spokesman for the packers, said that with the impending critical scarcity of meat there would be a "real famine" this winter and saw "no prospects of relief as long as we have OPA Stock. yards already have laid off thousands of workers. Wait In Long Lines. In Chicago, meat packing center of the country, the supply of meat in most shops was reported exhausted by early afternoon.

Housewives carried out armloads of steaks and chops in buying splurge which retailers said exceeded any in the city's history. Long lines of customers waited outside before butchers opened their doors. In St Louis, the meat supply was nearly exhausted after a day of heavy consumer buying and market operators predicted that by Tuesday no meat would be available. Most meat counters were stripped long before closing time Saturday. At the national stock-j where Saturday's hog re-i usually total in the hundreds, only a single hog was sold.

Memphis, meat counters were cleaned out by heavy week: end purchasing which bought up late deliveries from packers. Most stores had been virtually bare for I the last three or four days. i Most Des Moines, stores reported meat runs heavier than usual, stocks were generally limited in selections by late afternoon. But a "fair supply" of fresh meats was still on hand.

United States, racing to maintain its naval supremacy, already is building the world's first atomic age capital ships armed with main batteries of robot rockets instead of gune.

The navy disclosed this tonight in a somewhat terse announcement that the battleship Kentucky and the battle cruiser Hawaii would be "guided missile warships." Both ships were started as conventional design vessels, but constructon was arrested when the rockets and atomic bombs of the final phases of World War II marked the arrival of a new day in warfare. Details Not Given. The announcement by Vice Admiral E. L. Cochrane, chief of the I navy's bureau of ships, was sparing of detail but left broad implications.

Said he: "The navy's experiments with guided missiles have always contemplated eventual shipboard installation, although design studies were handicapped until the navy had made more progress in the development of guided missiles. The design studies now being made for the Kentucky and Hawaii, together with the development of missiles guided by carrier-based aircraft, will lead a revolution in the striking power of naval warships.

In view of the blast effect on decks of some of the Bikini atom bomb target ships, it is assumed changes may be made in deck protection. Explaining that the weapons themselves still are in development, navy men declined to predict any specific guided missile types for the main batteries. They pointed, however, to a recent navy summary of research in this field. This summary reported that 'heavy missiles" will be launched from ships and at another point discussed the current experiments with the V-2 type rockets.

Louis Area. The state highway patrol intensified search of the St. Louis vicinity after they received a report that a wr.man and child closely resembling Toby and the maid had been seen at a filling station in nearby Jonesburg. Last definite trace of the pair was at Warrenton, 50 miles west of St Louis. The patrol reported the maid wae seen there attempting to hitch-hike a ride for herself and the child.

In Cleveland, police and state highway patrolmen were on the lockout for the maid and Madeline, since the woman had told Tobias she formerly lived in Ohio and had an inmate of a indus- tr'al school at Delaware. Officials of the school said they had no record of such an inmate, but Kansas City police believe the newly- hired maid might be heading for Ohio. Sheriff J. A. Purdome said that the maid had used an alias when the father, Phillip Tobias, a loan company salesman, employed her only last Monday.

Tobias told police that he had found the girl standing on a street corner attempting to hitch-hike a ride out of the city. He said he was desperate in his search for a maid to help hie wife who is in poor health following Caesarean and subsequent death of a second child.

The Soviet Ukranian republic lined up with the other states of the Russian-influenced Slavic group in supporting Yugoslavia's claims to Venezia Giulia before today's last word was spoken by Kardelj The Yugoslav vice premier demanded a major portion of the disputed area and an economic link between Yugoslavia and the projected free territory of Trieste. Replying to Senator Tom Connally, democrat, Texas, who had warned that territorial disputes were the road to war, Kardelj said: "We agree with Senator Connally that territorial claims lead to war, but what were its Implications? To whom was his appeal addressed? We think it was not necessary for him to address it to --we were the victims. We never waged a war of aggression.

We have a claim to our own land, wrenched from us by the Invader. Senator Connally should have addressed his appeal to Italy." Kardelj said Yugoslavia was willing to agree to the establishment of a free territory of Trieste only on condition that "from an economic point of view Trieste is sufficiently linked to Yugoslavia and to other countries of her hinterland which she serves as an international port."

The accord was hailed by an American spokesman as "a great thing" and "one of the most constructive things that has com. out of this conference." Under the agreement, which appeared to be a partial solution of the knotty South Tyrol question, Italy and Austria granted regional autonomy to the German-speaking Inhabitants Of Bolzano and Trento provinces, especially in use of the German language and German family names, and gave them equal rights, particularly with respect to holding office. It also called for revision of the Hitler-Mussolini agreement of 1939 which forced South Tyroeans to choose either German or Italian nationality.

Chicago, Sept. 7. JP Former President Herbert Hoover said today that "food supplies to Yugoslavia should be stopped immediately because directly or indirectly they are being used to feed Tito's army." "Anyway," he told a reporter, "the harvests came through: in July and August so they have no need for foreign food supplies." Washington, -Sept 7. --15) The war assets administration has decided to stand firm on its grant of purchase priority to UNRRA, despite objecCions of the house committee on surplus property sales. The decision means that 16 ice- making machines, destined for Yugoslavia, will be sold to UNRRA and shipped, r.nd that 10 other international organizations, including the United Nations, will keep their preferential buying status on government surplus goods.

The priority was questioned by the Slaughter committee last month in an inquiry on surplus property disposal. The proposed sale of the ice machinery was protested by others afthe height of strained relations between this country and Yugoslavia caused by the shooting at U. S. planes. Inquiry Ordered.

WAA Administrator Robert M. Littlejohn ordered a thorough inquiry into the priority question. He has been informed by top WAA officials and lawyers, a WAA spokesman said tonight, the policy is legal and "completely justified." The priority is based on the international organizations immunities act Of 1945, this offiical said. The law provides tax exemption and other "privileges, exemptions and immunities" to such agencies In which 'the United States participates with congress' approval. Chairman Slaughter, democrat, Missouri, told a committee hearing last month that the priority put international bodies "ahead of American business men" in getting scarce goods and was a "clear cut violation of the law." To have granted such priority without first having a written legal opinion.
