Movie Guilds Ask Settlement Of Film Strike HOLLYWOOD, March Demanding immediate settlement of the film industry strike, the influential Screen Writers and Directors Guilds issued a statement today that said: "There are no halos over the heads of any of the contestants."

Indiana Boro OP A Survey Completed, Is Satisfactory The Price Division of the Altoona District Office of Price Administration has just announced the' completion -of the March survey by Price Panel Aides-volunteers who visited food stores in Indiana and the surrounding territory. This survey was the first complete coverage of food stores since March of 1944 and volunteers made a splendid effort to rapidly cover. the entire group within a time limit. This particular survey differed froni the' usual monthly survey in that the merchants were, not preadvised as to the type of commodities to be checked.

These commodities included: Meat Rib lamb chops, pound. Boneless chuck roast, pound. Sirloin steak. bone in, pound. Beef liver, blemished, pound.

Beef liver, unblemished, A. pound. Sliced bacon, grade 1-pound package. Roasting chickens, drawn, pound. Dairy Products Butter, 92 score, 1-pound rolls, American cheese, processed, 2- pound package.

Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Apples, eastern, 2 pounds. Lettuce, head, 16-oz or over. Potatoes, white, 5 pounds. Grocerles Sugar, 5 pounds, paper bag. Crisco, 3-pound jar.

Jell-0. 3-ounce package. Coffee, pound. Results of the recent visits of volunteers indicate that in Indiana 96 food stores were visited and 20 violations were found. This is a splendid record and Price Panel Aides have done a remarkable job.

Most of the violations that were discovered were of a minor nature and had to do with lack of posting, etc. This type of violation is corrected merely by calling the he merchant's has attention to the 'fact that neglected to follow out rules and regulations. Price Panels themselves, who conduct hearings in cases of wilful violations, will not be called upon as a result of this survey to take any actions.

"This is a typical case," he said. land pointed at a handful of objects he was ready to pack for forwarding to the Quartermaster Depot in Kansas City to be checked again and sent to relatives. On the table were a few letters, a photograph of the dead soldier's wife or sweetheart, a pocket knife, a Catholic saint's mendallion, a pen and pencil and a one dollar bill.

"It is rare we find a frontline soldier who isn't carrying 8 ligious symbol of some kind," said Steinhauer. "Protestant boys usually have a New Testament in their field jackets and Catholics have la rosary or a SI. Christopher's medal.

Selective shopping may then be the only way maintain living standards for the average family. For a long time I have preached the doctrine of "bargain" shopping. When the Japs are out this is going be more important than ever.

Right now there isn't thuch choice of brands on grocers' shelves, but after the war it will different story. You should able to keep your living costs down to a remarkable extent by buying "the less widely advertised grades of canned goods. the less popular cuts of meat. day-old bread cake, etc. They are just as nourishing and palatable as the pensive foods: Gauging the Future.

Here is my forecast of the pattern, of living costs over the years There.is not likely to be any great change until the European conflict is ended. Not long after that happy event, the outlook, is for some flationary pressure on the cost-of. living. Unemployment and the ing of full war focus to the Pacific: area is bound temporarily to tail public demand for goods. Reconversion will begin to hold shortly thereafter.

Combined with the still-high Jap- tion, civilian output will begin take up 1 the slack in employment and. ease the buying reluctance the public. By the time the Nipponesc yell (or their equivalent for it), the cost-of-living should be moving gradually upward again. Danger of Inflation Panic. From then on, the' reture pends partly upon whether or price curbs are maintained.

If controls are thrown out by a gress weary of war time restraints, get ready for a real "inflation ic." If curbs are approved, there will still be pressure upside, but it will be reasonable. 'From studies, both political and ic, have come to the that the living cost run-away of 1920 will not be repeated after this war. Rather, some system of price controls -may go on for several years. I have spoken out in favor of this procedure before. I repeat at this lime that without the OPA or some such agency, we would now be 3 lot worse And we are, in my humble judgment, going to continued centralized control of prices from the nation's capital.

However, such not succeed in preventing infaltion; but will only postpone and soften its evil effects. We will adopt the method of "cut-! ting the dog's tail off an inch time. EMPIRE Adm Adm.

Notin on Nazi Peace Proposals WASHINGTON, March President Roosevelt told his news conference today that nothing at all had been received here regarding any German peace feelers. He added he understood the British Foreign Office had said it had none either. although news dispatclics from London minutes later quoted authoritative quarters A9 saying German representatives had sounded out British officials on an armistice. These dispatches added the British "firmly ignored" the overture and SO informed the United States and Russia. The Stale Department had no immediate comment.

In the past the department has been informed promptly of any peace teelers of the sort that occasionally have orignated in neutral countrics. Such reports have never been given serious consideration here. The London report said that Dr. Fritz Hesse, one time German at-: toche in London. was assigned by Ponchim Von Ribbentrop, Nazi foreign minister, to contact a member! of Britain's Stockholm icgation.

The move was described in authoritative quarters as a "typical German elfort to sow dissension among the Allies." Mr. Roosevelt's statement--that we have nothing here at all on them -W'as given in reply to questions that covered the Stockholm report and another rumor that General Von Rundstedt had made an armistice proposal. He was asked at. news conference it he could give any Illuminaition on rumors from Europe. particularly reports in Stockholm, that there had been some peace discussions.

He was told. too, that there were reports that Gen. Von Rundstedt had produced some armistice proposals. We have nothing here at all on them, Mr. Roosevelt asserted.

And he said he understood the British Foreign Office had said it had none either. He was asked whether. in that connection, he could throw any light on discussions he has had with Robert Murphy, political advisor to Gen. Eisenprincipal, hower. It was assumed: he was told.

that the consultations dealt with occuvation of Germany. The Chief Executive said he had seen Murphy only once since the latter had returned from abroad and that they had talked then about Murphy's boyhood in Germany.
