W. niininiion.

si. vvAOrtiisuiu, sept. 7. The hottest subject in Washington on the eve of President Truman's meeting with congressional leaders is livestock feed. Undersecretary of Agriculture Norris E.

Dodd and other officials of that department reveal that the success of President Truman's "waste less" campaign depends on cutting 100 million bushels off the amount of wheat that would otherwise be fed to livestock in the coming year. The administration and the citizens food committee appointed by the President will attempt to do that by persuading Americans to buy less meat and other livestock products. Savings on bread and flour will be important. But ii is not on mis means that the administration chiefly is relying in the effort to Rend more than! 470 million bushels of grain aoroad. The real meaning of -the cabinet committee's report to the President this week must be sought in the figures on livestock feed.

Secretaries Anderson, Marshall find Harriman reported to the President that, only 470 million bushels of grain would be available to save Europe from hunger this year compared to more than 550 million last THE SIIORT corn crop largely accounts for the difference, since there is more wheat available in 1947 than in 1946. But owing toja 7 feed, commercial feed producers are buying heavily out of the large wheat crop and farmers are feeding cattle at unprecedented rates. Normally farmers feed about 190 million bushels of wheat to livestock in a crop year. At the present rate, however, farmers this year will feed 350 million bushels of wheat to livestock of all categories. If that figure could be cut to 250 million, this country could have another 100 million bushels TOUCHDOWN.

Gromyko accused the Greek of "hatching" a war between Russia and the United States. He bluntly charged Washington with deliber-atey fanning the flames of civil war in Greece. Just before he finished, the Soviet delegate told the assembly's important political and security committee what Russia wanted the United Nations to do about the Ralkan dispute. In a long resolution he put forward a demand that the assembly ask for the withdrawal of all foreign military ner- isonnel from Greece, set up a com-i mission to oversee economic aid to 1 the country and pin direct and sole guilt for the trouble in thet Balkans on the Athens government. It was the first time that the Soviet Union had presented its side or the Halkan case to this session of the assembly, and Gromyko centered his attack on the United States and its policy of backing the Greek government.

THE CHARGES against the United States, sprinkled throughout his speech added up to these: ONEv The" United States was guilty of "flagrant" interference in Greek internal affairs. TWO.

mst warn them." Sharing the weight of the Soviet attack with the United States was the government of Greece. The en tire case of the Greek leaders he said, is based on a desire to get aid from abroad to help their "far-flung plans." "They are awaiting conflict between the United States and Russia," he said, his voice rising a little. "They are spreading criminal propaganda for war between the East and the West. A fascist clique is hatching plans for a new war." Soviet resolution was placed on the political committee's agenda for debate, possible amendment and vote. There was no doubt that it would be thrashed out in committee, but no observer gave it the slightest chance of passing.

Gromyko was the only delegate to speak on the merits of the case. 'Hia was 8 reP'y to the Sies resolution accuB.nJj Albania, Yugoslav and Bulgaria. Reduction Urged In V. N. Budget For 1948 LAKE SUCCESS, Sept.

Emergency aid is the top topic for Republican and Democratic congressional leaders at a White House conference Monday with Presi- dent Truman and key cabinet iiiemuera. With the wixn we problems or prices and of preventing starvation and communism from stalking western Europe fitting together like a jig saw puzzle, Monday's White House meeting, and another Wednesday, will hunt some of the missing pieces. The conference with congressional chiefs is expected to determine whether President Truman will call a special session to provide stopgap assistance for the next few months. Mr.

Truman wants to avoid one, if possible. THE WEDNESDAY conference will bring together the President's citizens committee to spearhead a national campaign to "waste less food." A food committee of cabinet members has said this is the only plan offering any immediate hon nf hinin tn faA without imping up prices at home. Sen. Cooper said tonight "voluntary rationing" is essential if this country is to do its share in feeding the rest of the world. He said he doesn't think bringing back OPA would solve the problem but "if prices continue to increase we might come to compulsory rationing." Cooper made the comment on an NBC broadcast on "the Marshall plan and your pocket book" in which Sen.

Flanders and Chester Davis, a member of the President's committee on foreign aid, also took part. Flanders spoke from New York. Cooper said he is disturbed prevalent feeling among Ameri- cans that they can evade sacri ficeB and he said (it wi fce neceg sary to make much ereater sacri fices than at any time since the war." Flanders, chairman of a congressional committee studying the price problem at hearings throughout the East, said he is convinced that "voluntary rationing cannot be further to at least one-third of the population of New York.

Developments that may influ ence the two conferences: ONE The success and size of western Europe's $22,400,000,000 four-year plan for recovery was described as depending in part on whether American prices are held near the levels of last July. The State Department released tonight a 50,000 word report from the 16 nations which drafted the plan at a Jt'ans meeting. Previously, a summary had, been given out. TWO Prices of all grains rose substantially today on the Chicago Board of Trade. But the second weekly decline in a row in the Associated Press weighted wholesale price index of five commodities pointed toward lower retail prices later for some major food and other items.

Springfield Man Killed As Auto Rolls Over WASHINGTON C. Sept. 27. CP Joseph J. Foley, 35, 317 W.

High Springfield, was killed tonight and Mrs. Nettie White, 34, also of Springfield, was seriously injured when an automobile she was driving rolled over into a ditch after a rear tire blew out two miles northwest of Jeffersonville on Route 70. Mrs. White was taken to Springfield City hospital where her condition was termed "good." Harold D. Phillips of Portsmouth, 0., a hitchhiker, was asleep in the rear seat of the car and was only shaken up in the mishap.

Mrs. White is reported to be a waitress at the Park Bar restaurant, Springfield, and Foley was affiliated with the Hod Carriers Union, AFL. Foley's body has been removed to the Morrow funeral home in Jeffersonville pending arrangements.

D. stadium and the other at Athletic field. Waiting to observe their activities were no fewer than four footmen, three cruisers and two motorcyclists, all representatives of Dayton's police department. And also on hand were Inspector Frank G.

Krug, acting police hief, two captains and a lieutenant. "Looks like a funeral procession," Krug commented upon observing the long lines of traffic slowly passing by the police headquarters' building. "Malicious gossip" snorted a 10-year-old while walking past the group of police "brass." Large crowds of youngsters, ranging from elementary to high school ages, paced down the streets, good-naturedly hooting at passing cars upon the results of the games. No in-' stances of rowdyism were seen during a 45-minute period, nor were any racing motorists observed. Pakistan Asks Britain For Aid To Halt Riots LONDON.

Tribute was paid Gavin and his assistants by a coach in the press box who was scouting Scranton. The scout said: "There is a well-coached -team." Gavin would want no better compliment than that. In contrast, the play of the Scranton team was ragged throughout the first half. It showed improvement in the second half but the Royals' offense only clicked against the second and third teams of the Flyers.

Or perhaps it was the urbane way and the international middle-of-the-road reputation of the moderator, Paul G. Hoff-man.

Joe Ball of Minnesota sounded less conservative than he is given credit for being, and Victor Reuther, brother of Walter Reuther and educational director of the UAW-CIO, sounded a little less well, like a leader in UAW-CIO, BUT THE allusion that middle right and middle left were approaching a common chalk line didn't survive the end of the program devoted to the formal addresses. Feeling and fireworks Turn to KENYON, Page 4, Col. 3 Valley Due For Warmer Weather A warming trend for Dayton and vicinity is forecast bv the weatherman for the next few days but he warns of another cold snap due to sweep down from Canada at the end of that period. Temperatures today are to range from a high of 65 to a low near 47 with partly cloudy skies.

Monday temperatures are to get up to a high of near 72 with some scattered showers. The warming trend is result of a southerly circulation of air expected to be set up as a cold high pressure air mass moves eastward. A low pressure storm area from Kansas and Nebraska is expected to move in to supply the scattered showers. Don't Let It FRANK W. MILLER Frank W.

These ities to transport food Without the emergency powers the government had in war time, the government must rely on persuading feeders not to use grain at the present rate and persuading the public at large to curtail purchases of meat and other livestock products such as butter and cheese. THEN the falling consumer demand for meat would reduce the farmer's incentive to feed high-priced wheat to livestock. He would sell more wheat to the grain market and the commercial feed producer would use less Wheat in mixed livestock feeds. don't think you can do it any othrr way," Undersecretary Dodd I think that if every American knew what we know about the European food picture in the last two years, we oould do it easily."

"Who is it who denies us our rights of suffrage," another said. The angered people were marching toward the voting booth. The man behind the table in the voting booth came out to address them.
