Shortage Laid by Thompson to Withholding of Livestock Restaurant Prices to Rise; Democrats Rally to Truman WASHINGTON, Sept.

27 (UP) Chairman Roy L. Thompson of the Price Con- trol Board said tonight that he expects the meat famine -t to last for some time and that the board can do noth- ing about it until late No-': vember or December unless OPA or the Agriculture Department intervene before then. He conceded in an interview that the board's decision to restore ceilings on livestock and meat was becoming increasingly unpopular with Congress and many ordinary citizens wrho have had few beefsteaks since controls were reinstated Aug. -20. But he said that under the OPA law the board had no alternative but to act as it did and had no intimation at the time that cattle raisers would refuse to market their livestock at OPA ceiling prices.

Thompson said that withholding was the primary reason for the current meat shortage and he predicted it would be "some time" before butchers' stocks are back to normal.

Eight bodies were recovered and four military policemen, who vanished during rescue work, had been missing so long Sheriff Owen Kilday said they almost certainly perished. Sheriff Kilday said at least 10 more persons had been reported missing by relatives.

The river swept out of its banks after 6.85 inches of rain in 15 hours. Police Commissioner P. L. Anderson estimated. damage at $5,000,000 in the city alone, where scores were injured and hundreds left homeless.

27 (AP) Fierce fighting broke out late today at the gates of the Metro-Gold wyn-Mayer studio, as workers entering the lot for the late shift attempted to run a massed line of pickets. Nearly 200 persons engaged in the melee, which took Culver City police nearly a half-hour to quelL Pickets smashed windows of automobiles, jerked, out ignition wires, and tried unsuccessfully to overturn six of the 15 cars running the line. One picket was hurled to the top of a car, and disappeared inside studio gates. Another was knocked down by a car, and removed to a hospital. A nonstriker was hospitalized for a cut hand from flying glass.

It was the most serious clash of a day marked by rock-throwing and other violence with 23 pickets arrested by nighty fall as the 7000-member Conference of Studio Unions conducted the second day of what it calls a lockout, but what producers label a strike.

Danube River Shipping 18 Massachusetts Hospitals Share 5000 Pounds of Beef Plan as 'Ultimatum' He's Glad Red Sox Retdrned Check, $12 Buys 120 Beers By JEROME SULLIVAN I'mthe happiest guy in Boston today. I won a rejection from the Red Sox management, and did I need the 12 bucks! My pockets are bulging with something like 120 chances on 1947 automobiles, new refrigerators, sterling silver services and sundry other home furnishings to say nothing of a wad of losing pari-mutucl tickets on the gee-gees. On none of these have I ever once expected to win. Matter of fact, I'd gladly cash 'em all in and start from scratch again, if that were possible. They represent a lot o' dough.

See REJECTION Page 11 By JERRY NASON Boston College became irretrievably lost in Wake Forest last night. The-gold shirts from Dixie, accepting gifts in profusion, outsteadied the debutant and confusion-stricken Heightsmen, 12-6. Making its postwar entrance into big time under the maz-das at Braves Field, B. C. made a discouraging start by throw1 ing away the contest with a fumble on the opening kickoff.

A topcoated congregation of 38,500 then tquirmed and groaned through the next 50 minutes while the home forces fumbled, foozled, hurled errant laterals in all directions in an inexpert effort to retrieve that which was already lost. See EAGLES Page 4 LAKE SUCCESS, N. Sept. 27 Russia attacked as an "ultimatum" today a United States proposal that freedom of navigation on the Danube River be established as a prerequisite to the release of 209 Yugoslav and Czech Danube vessels impounded in the American occupation zones of Gemnuny nnd Austria. Nikolai Feonov, Soviet, delegate to the United Nations Economic and Social Council, accused the United States of "direct intervention in the internal affairs of countries concerned in Danubian shipping" in making the proposal.

He said deliveries were based on the urgency of a hospital's need and the requirements of the hospital's patients. Hospitals which received the emergency shipments, Dr. Wood said are: Beth Israel Hospital, Massachusetts Memorial Hospital, Boston Dispensary, Massachusetts General Hospital, Maiden Hospital, Holy Ghost Hospital, Cambridge; Boston Lying-in Hospital, Peter Bent Bng-ham Hospital; St. Margaret's Hospital, Dorchester: Cambridge Hospital; Salem Benjamin S. Cable Memorial Hospital, Ipswich; Lynn Eighteen Massachusetts "hospitals last night received small deliveries of beef from a New Hampshire packing company which had offered its limited supply to Gov.

Maurice J. Tobin and Boston OPA officials for distribution to hospitals that were urgently in need of meat. About 5000 pounds of beef were trucked over the road from the Vermont Packing Company, North Walpole, N. to the McLean Hospital at Ws-verley. Dr.

Tobin to disburse the 21 Nazi Leaders Will See Families Last Time Today NUERNBERG, Sept. 27 (UP) The fate of iyi 21 Nazi war leaders has almost certainly been decided, It was believed today, as the International Military Tribunal warned that any person who discloses the verdicts before they are read in court will be severely punished. The tribunal's decisions in the cases of 21 Nazis tried in person; in the case of Martin Borman, who is thought to be dead, and tried in absentia, and in the cases of six Nazi organizations will be read in the Palace of Justice Courtroom Monday or Tuesday.

Bay State Lawmakers Favor Decontrols or Seizure of Meat WASHINGTON, Sept 27 (AP) House Democratic leader McCormack of Massachusetts said today he still favors a sus- pension of meat controls, despite the Chief Executive's opposition. Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts urged that the President seize all the meat supplies to insure proper distribution. Senator Saltonstall of Massachusetts joined those demanding removal of controls.

Representative Rogers, of Massachusetts, conferred with Navy officials, urging them, to release some of their supplies temporarily "to tide us over this tremendous Dodgers, Cards Tied 2 Games to Go St. Louis Drops 7-2 Decision to Cubs and Gives Up Lead See BEEF Tage. 3 Historic Tombstones in Quincy Serve as Line for Shirts, Socks picked Harry Brecheen, who has been able to beat the Cubs five times this season, to go after tomorrow's game.

Police said the clothing, belonged to a 45-year-old town vagrant who had been making his home in the burial ground for two or three nights. Clothes were found strewn over the stones marking burial places of Revolutionary War soldiers and some of the city's early residents dating back to the late 1600s.

LOUIS, Sept. 27 (AP) St. Louis pennant hopes hit a new low tonight as the Cardinals dropped into an exact first place tie with the idle Brooklyn Dodgers by bowing to the Chicago Cubs, 7-2. Each club has only two games to play.

Thus the slumping Red Birds, who had held tight to the National League lead since Aug. 28, found themselves in a wild scramble to force the Dodgers into a three-game postseason 'play-off. "While the Cards take on the rough and ready Chicago team tomorrow night and Sunday in' single games, the Dodgers play the Boston Braves, the team with which the Cubs are scrapping for third place. Most press box observers were inclined to favor the probability of a tie after tonight's results, and there was every indication that the World Series would have to be pushed back to make room for the extra games.

Also reverberating down the lanes from Portland to Prov-incetown were loud and lush offers of "I'll, give ya fifty even a hundred" from speculators and legitimate businessmen who had nothing to show for their entry in the ticket race except a returned money order and the regrets of the Red Sox management. The squawks of "discrimination" and "I've been slighted" were leveled in thedirection of Fenway Park where the switchboard yesterday was bombarded with calls from unhappy rejectees.

Fainting Pilot Alerts Bay State, Then Lands Safely All Massachusetts airports were alerted for a crash landing for about a half-hour at 7:30 last night when the pilot of an Army P-80 Shooting Star, jet plane en route to Beverly from- Dayton, O-, radioed his oxygen had failed and he was losing consciousness. During the tense minutes while the dazed pilot, Lt Robert M. Hoover, struggled against death in the cockpit of the speeding plane, Maj W. B. Harris of Columbia, S.

radioed instructions from the Beverly Airport control tower. A few minutes after Maj Harris had ordered Hoover to attempt to parachute to safety, the lieutenant gasped that his oxygen engine had started functioning, and he sighted an airport nearby. Shortly afterwards, Army authorities at Westover Field, radioed Lt Hoover had landed there safely. See PILOT Page 3 1 m70l 1 See ACCIDENT Baseball Results NATIONAL LEAGUE Cincinnati 8. Pittsburgh 0.
