The Tass statement made it clear that the time had come final showdown and flatly declared that Muraviev's announcement not represent apy progress in foreign policy."

(AP) Legislators trying to figure out how to of get rid of perhaps $105,000,000,000 leftover war supplies estimated today that the Government is going to take a $90,000,000,000 loss.

we'll do well to realize $15,000,000,000 and that includes war plants. course, it we want to go and I destroy our domestic economy, we might get $30,000,000,000." Manasco said he thinks other members of a Senate House Committee who are attempting to work out a compromise surplus property disposal bill are fully aware that there is likely to be a $90,0000,000,000 loss and that the American people also should be prepared for it. Chairman of the House delegation on the Conference Committee, Manasco said members realize that a tremendous amount of war goods won't be worth dismantling o1 transporting home when the fighting stops. "Take a B-24 bomber," he said. takes 800 man-hours to dismantle one and it couldn't bring more than $2,500 in scrap.

Or who would want to buy a naval torpedo which originally cost thousands of dollars? There might be a market for some trainer planes and, among the wealthy, for some two motored bombers, Manasco surmised. Number 13- (Continued From Page One) ulation of 273,317.

Considered possible are a ban on exports to Argentina, a prohibition against exports from there and a tie-up of Argentine funds, supplementing the recent stoppage of gold shipments to the Latin country. Decisions are up to Secretary State Hull and President velt, but the role of the British future U. maneuv. ers is regarded as of utmost importance because Argentina supplies much British meat and offers a large market for British products. At present, it was learned today, the British are stalling their ne.

gotiations for a new meat contract, reportedly at Washington's urging. The existing agreement expires Sept. 30. Failure to renew will put British purchases of Argentine meat on a month-to-month basis and leave London free either to sign later or to go along with an American economic crackdown. The meat contract the key piece in Argentina's economic structure and the militarist regime of President Edelmiro Farrell had counted strongly on a pre-expiration renewal.

Negotiations to that end were going well. it is understood, until about two or three weeks ago. Neighbors Complain Of Drunkenness, Vice Appearing before the City Commission today R. L.

doubt that the incident would hasten a showdown between Mikolajczky, who has been negotiating with Moscow in an effort to end differences with the Soviet Government, and Sosnkowski, whom the Russians have been denouncing. Under the 1935 constitution to which the Exile Government adheres Sosnkowski can be dismissed as Commander-in-Chief only by the President of the Republic. In his message to Bors, Sosnkowski described the help sent Polish partisans battling in Warsaw as woefully inadequate and called the Allied attitude ghastly and tragic riddle." Referring to the effort expended by the Allies to send supplies to Polish partisans in Warsaw by plane, Sosnkowski said: Compares Losses "The loss of 27 planes suffered over Warsaw in one month means very little to the Allied Air Forces, who have at present over 10,000 planes of all types at their disposal." The losses suffered by the Polish air force during the Battle of Britain were 40 per cent, while a little over 15 per cent of the planes and crews were lost during attempts to help Warsaw."
