Meat Shortage to Last Through 1947, Experts Forecast Demand May Decline as Spending Shifts to Non-Food Items Washington, Oct. 4 (AP) A riculture department economists said today meat supplies are unlikely to catch up with demanji before 1948 and by then people may not be able to afford as many steaks and roasts as they would like. That doubly discouraging forecast for meat-hungry Americans came as the price decontrol board suspended at least until next week a third decision on the future of ceiling prices for milk and other dairy products, now free of OPA jurisdiction.

The agriculture department's bureau of economics explained its prediction of a slackening meat demand some 12 or 15 months hence by saying that consumer incomes are expected to turn downward in late 1947 or early 1948. Demand May Decline Furthermore, the agency said the demand for meat and other foods now at a record peak may decline as consumer spending shifts to non-food items, such as automobiles, washing machines, refrigerators, and clothing, as iupplies of those goods become more abundant. The bureau said meat output during the remainder of 1946 may be "relatively low," reflecting heavy marketing of hogs and cattle in July and August, when there were no price controls, and delayed fall marketing of livestock. As for 1947, the report said per capita civilian supplies may be only as large as this or an average of between 140 and 145 pounds a year. Big Beef Production It added that the suply of pork is expected to be smaller than this year but that production of beef ii expected to be larger, reflecting in turn a tendency among producers to delay marketings -of cattle this fall in expectation of Sheep and lamb year probably will- be less than" this year, with prospects of a smaller 1947 lamb crop and fewer lambs to be fed this fall, the bureau said.

On- the subject of prices, the report commented that recently established ceilings will permit prices of cattle and hogs to be around 10 per cent higher, and lambs over 15 per cent higher, (Continued on page 6) We Must Oppose All World Blocs, State Demos Told Springfield, Oct. (AP Adlai E. Stevenson of Chicago, a United States delegate to the United Nations general assembly, said today this nation must oppose any attempt of Russia, Britain "or anyone else" to divide the world into "exclusive blocs." "We mist oppose it on the grounds of self-interest and on the principle of the responsibility of the great powers to maintain peace and security based on 1 unity of all the great power a the dominance of none," Stevi son declared. He set forth his views address prepared for a meeting of the Democratic state committee and county chairmen. Stevenson said American foreign policy as expressed by Secretary of State Byrnes was no! "pro-British, or anti-Russian, or "Our policy is an independent American policy which recognizes the principal of compromise anc rejects the compromise of principle." Stevenson said two wars had been fought "to prevent Europe falling into the hands of a si power." and that no nation wants to fight another.

He added: "But the Russians must feel confident that Europe will not turn against them again, just as western Europe and the rest us feel confident that the whole of Europe will not fall under Russian military domination. "We believe there is room in the world for their system and ours, but conflict and competition between our systems is inevitable a competition of performance rather than a contest of arms," he continued. Americans must try to understand the reasons for Soviet "mistrust," the Soviets' "anxiety to expand their influence" and their "appalling wounds," Stevenson said. "We must try to convince them that we want to be sincere friends because Russian-American harmony is the keystone in the arch of peace." Hang Jap Trio for Cannibalism Crime Guam, Oct. 4.

Russia in angry words today accused the United States and Britain of vio lating their Big Four agreements by voting for an Australian amend ment to set up an international commission for supervision of Italian reparations payments. Italian economic commis sion of the peace conference, which itill must fix the amount Italy is to pay neighboring allied states, passed the amendment, 12 to 8, with Prance, China and the Slavic states opposed. Under the amendment, an inter national body consisting of the Big Four and countries receiving reparations would supervise pay ments other than those to Russia. These woula go to "Jugoslavia, Albania, Greece, Ethiopia and Po land.

A. Arutiunian of the Soviet union, visibly angered, declared the United States and Britain violated an agreement to a section of the Big Four foreign ministers' treaty draft.

U.N. Atom Efforts Face Danger, Say Wallace, Baruch They Differ on Cause of Trouble; Government Caught in Middle Washington, Oct. 4. (AP) Grave danger confronts United Nations efforts to set up international atomic controls, Bernard M. Baruch and Henry A.

Wallace virtually agreed today. But they bitterly disputed the Wallace, ousted secretary ot commerce, blamed He declared that with nations already launched on "a frantic atomic bomb race," Baruch has adopted a "stubborn and inflexible" approach to negotiations involving Russia. Baruch, American member ot the N. atomic energy commission blamed Wallace. He asserted the former cabinet officer perpetrated "errors" and caused public confusion in his criticism of the United States control plan.

Truman Caught in Middle The "errors," Baruch charged, are "gravely dangerous to the delicate negotiations now underway." While President Truman put the whole controversy down as a matter between Baruch and Wallace, the government actually appeared to be caught between its international negotiations and the domestic controversy which the highly personal charges- of the two men seemed certain to a Wallace, whom the president removed from the cabinet last month because of his split with secretary of State Byrnes Russian relations, had the latest word in the row with Baruch. Wallace Cites 2 Points In a statement last night, Wal lace declared that atomic energy negotiations in the. United Nations have reached an "impassive' two basic points of disagreement, which he attributed indirectly to Baruch's "stubborness." The two points, he said, are: 1. Whether the United States should "continue and stockpiling of atomic bombs during the negotiations" of a ty leading to full international control. 2.

Russia's "refusal to agree to an international system of in spection to control atomic energy production." Beyond these, Wallace said, the United States has insisted 'unnecessarily" on the great powers giving up their veto over atomic energy control matters despite (Continued on Page "Free" Nazis Find Little Hospitality Nuernberg, Oct. 4 (AP) U.

States Bonus Bill Needs Majority of Votes Cast for General Assembly Springfield. 111.. Oct. 4 (AP) Attorney General George F. Barrett has held that the proposed state bonus act can be adopted by a majority of the votes cast for the general assembly in the Nov.

5 election. In a formal opinion yesterday he added, however, that the proposed "gateway amendment to the state constitution in the same election must secure a majority of the total votes cast at the election." The bonus act thus faces a low er legislative hurdle, since total cast at the past elections has run ahead of the total votes cast for general assembly. Barrett cited a 1918 state high way bond issue act in determining what constitutes a majority of votes cast for member of the general assembly. This is deter mined, ha laid, by taking Um ag gregate vote for members of the house of representative in each county and dividing by three, since a person voting for representa-tievs casts three votes, whether he votes for one, two or three candidates. In counties where state senator is voted upon, if the senate vote exceeds one-third of the representative vote, the senate figure is to be used, Barrett held Each person voting for state senator casts but one vote.

Railroad Victor in $10,000 Suit; Jury on Case 10 Hours A Lee county Circuit jury last night found the NorthWestem railroad blameless for the accident Nov. 20, 1945, in which William G. Henert and Oscar Nass lost their lives, deciding in favor ot the railroad in the $10,000 damagi suit filed by Mrs. Mollie K. Henert The jury brought in its decision at 9 p.

m. last night after more than 10 hours of deliberatio: the case. They retired at 11:45 a m. yesterday at the conclusi of closing arguments presented by both sides. Henert and Nass were killed at the Richardson avenue crossing Ashton when the car in which they were riding was struck by a crack Northwestern streamliner, the City of Los Angeles.

Mrs. Henert, administratrix of the estate of her late husband, had charged in the suit that the rail road was guilty of failure to take proper precautionary measui which, the suit contended, would have avoided the accident. The plaintiff charged that the presence of a freight train on a side track near the crossing pre vented the two men from obtaining a clear view of the track and that no warning of the streamliner'; approach was given them. The railroad testimony held that warning blasts were blown by the engineer of tne waiting ireignt, who also claimed to have waved in warning to the men in the car. The defense also presented testimony that the signal lights and warning bells at the crossing were in oper ation at the time of the fatal In court action this morninj Judge George C.

The strike has tied up 543 ships on all coasts. In strike bound Pittsburgh where an 11-day strike of 3,500 power workers has curtailed gen eral business, some 2,700 AFL streetcar motormen planned to vote on whether to cross picket lines set up by the independent powei union.

Arrange for Meeting In Washington, the Maritime commission arranged to invite west coast shipping officials to meet with east coast operators and commission members over the week end and seek to end the maritime walkout. The main obstacle to a settlement of the strike by CIO Marine Engineers and the AFL Masters, Mates and Pilots was considered to be the west coast deadlock over demands for more union security. The Maritime commission wants a uniform settlement on both coasts and the Labor department's compromise plan has been accepted by east coast shipowners and the unions.

But a maritime official said the Pacific American Shipowners association has held out on two provisions of union security preference to union members in hiring, and a requirement that union men must maintain their membership 'jobs.
