Although offers of voluntary cooperation in the drive Butcher Shops Report Little Drop In Sales BY UNITED PRESS Most butcher shops were open for business as usual today on the nation's first "meatless day" since World War I. A check of cities across the nation na-tion showed that housewives were buying meat, and that there was little apparent drop in the volume vol-ume of sales. Most restaurants, too, had meat on their menus, because they already al-ready had planned for it and could not effect the change in time for the first "meatless Tuesday." Despite the apparent lack of compliance on the first day, . food producers, traders and dispensers swunr .their support sup-port behind President .Truman's .Tru-man's food conservation plan. Whether or not housewives would do .the same seemed to be the big question. At Cleveland, dealers reported that some housewives house-wives made a rush on the butcher shops yesterday to stock up Butchers said their customers were buying "much more heavly" than for some time.' No butcher 'shops were closed and only two Cleveland restaurants observed the meatless Tuesday.

C. The statement will be used as testimony at the final hearings on the matter to be held in California Califor-nia in mid-December, according to Clayton Jenkins, chamber of commerce manager. Mr. Jenkins' statement to the ICC follows: "Since the present freight rates of GeTrev5teeL company were put into effect April 1, 1947, business men and manufacturing firms have benefited by lower price?, and the ultimate users and consumers of the steel items in our community and state have also profited. "Establishment of a base price on steel at Geneva and savings made by manufacturers, fabricators fabrica-tors and consumers through the current freight rates have had "an important effect, in our opinion, in developing business and keep-, ing employment at a high level througout the area served by the Geneva Steel company." Fifteen copies of the statement .were sent to the ICC; 75 additional addi-tional copies were sent to 36 other firms and agencies interested inter-ested in the hearings. r The final hearings were set by the ICC when the reduced rates were-, put into effect on a temporary basis. Eight steel companies com-panies (including Sheffield,' Republic, Re-public, Bethlehem, B ethlehem Pacific Coast, Colorado Fuel and Iron, Kaiser, Jones and Laughlin, and Weirton), and the Spokane Merchants association filed protests pro-tests with the ICC asking them to suspend the lower freight rates Four railroads also opposed the reduced rates which are $9.60 per ton to Portland, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and $10.80 per ton to Seattle.

The full effectiveness ef-fectiveness of the drive can be gauged only after every American has been impressed with the importance im-portance of his efforts, officials said. The president set the standard which he expects the nation to follow, when the White House scheduled cheese souffle for lunch and broiled salmon steak for dinner today. For eggless and poultryless Thursday, the president will have a luncheon of peppers stuffed with rice and mushroom. The dinner din-ner will feature baked ham. It also was learned that the food committee: 1. Was told that the baking industry in-dustry is moving to stamp out consignment selling. Under this system, bakers to plug, their products deliver more bread than . retailers actually need. They then take back the day-old loaves which usually' are wasted. 2.

Police said Elder met a strange man who suggested they play an "edd-man-wins" coins matching game with another stranger. He and the first man agreed to split their winnings, Elder said. They were $500 ahead when the losing stranger suggested a gamble for $1,000, but demanded that Elder first show that he had that much money. Elder gave 11 $100 bills to the first stranger to hold, the Idahoan related to police. After winning again, the No. 1 stranger told Elder he would meet him at the train and divide the profits. That was the last he saw of the man, he said. "Oh, well," he sighed, there's more .where that money came from.

CIO longshoremen threatened today to tie up all Pacific shipping ship-ping as far as Hawaii unless waterfront wa-terfront employers end a week-long week-long lockout" at Los Angeles harbor.

The walking bosses (foremen) had established picket lines around the Luckenbach Steamship Steam-ship company here and the Los Angeles outer harvor stevedoring firm to back demands for recognition recog-nition of the ILWU as their bargaining bar-gaining agent. Both firms refused to negotiate on grounds that the bosses were supervisory personnel and should not be subject to "rank and file union domination." The waterfront water-front employers then suspended operations in Los Angeles-Lon? 'Beach and dismissed 115 bosses Warnina that the tieup "in evitably" would spread, Bridges asserted that other members of the union "have got to refuse to work the ships diverted from the closed port of Los Angeles, or work and break their own union. "We want you, Mr. Miller, to order the port open." But employers refused to discuss dis-cuss an interim agreement when Bridges admitted that picketing of Luckenbach ships and outer harbor company would continue, even if the port were reopened.

The Communist parties of France and Italy were the only ones outside of the iron- curtain to be let in on the scheme;:This was taken to mean that the governments gov-ernments of France and Italy would be the first targets of the "information bureau." At the same time, It became clear, that the Communists had ruined their chances of getting back Into the French and Italian governments as members of a coalition. Getting Get-ting control of key cabinet posts has been a favorite Communist method of capturing cap-turing governments "legally." The Communists are major oarties in France and Italy.

John L. "Lewis of the Un'ted Mine Workers of America and William Hutcheson. of the AFL carpenters, both members of the executive board, have opposed signing the affidavits.
