J. E. Nation's Worst Meat Shortage Predicted WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary Mark Pickell of the Corn Belt Livestock Feeders association predicted today this summer will see "the worst meat shortage of any time in American history." He OPA regulations for prospect, telling the Senate Banking committee that cattle feeders and other farmers can't make money on meat. "All you have to do is to give these fellows assurance that price ceilings are going to come off," Pickell said, When Pickell suggested that the banking committee take the lead for the rest of the Senate, Senator Barkley (D-Ky), the majority leader, remarked: "Nobody knows exactly what the rest of the Senate Is going to doon anything." However, support for "retention of OPA without crippling amendmenta" came in a telegram Chair- man Wagner (D-NY) read into the record. It asked an opportunity to present witnesses for the "businessmen for OPA committee" and was signed by Barry Bingham, president of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Morris proscethal, executive and vice Wallace president Thorsen, New York City.

The ministers felt they could get along more swift. ly in informal meetings, the procedure that was adopted during their Moscow conference last December when a similar situation arose, the American source said. Each of the ministers will be permitted only two advisers and one interpreter during the informal sessions, as against 15 advisers and interpreters during formal meetings.

The four ministers were reported by British sources to have agreed today, to Dalmatian award Islands Yugoslavia along a string the eastern Adriatic coast. In making the award the ministers provided that the territory should be demilitarized. The Italian island of Pelagosa was given to Yugoslavia, but Italian fishing rights were guaranteed. Italy was allowed to Planosa, but it too. must be demilitarized.

Russian Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov opposed a suggestion to insert in the Italian peace treaty proposal -forcing Italy to turn over war criminals as requested. The suggestion was backed by Byrnes, British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and Bidault. It was dropped.

Italian Premier Alcide de Casperi is expected to testify Friday afternoon at his- own request. A Yugoslay delegation is to be heard Friday morning. Sectetary of State James F. Byrnes and his Russian, British and French counterparts were increasing their efforts to agree on an Italian peace treaty. The foreign ministers were reported dissatisfied with the rate of progress thus far.

The ministers scheduled two meetings to try and clear up as many points of disagreement AS possible before tomorrow's session, at which Yugoslav and Italian experts are slated to present evidence Istrian boundary dispute and on the problem' of Trieste. The deputy foreign ministers, decided at a session last night to place the Dalmatian and war criminal questions on the agenda for today, American sources said, but gave no indication of what war criminals were to be discussed. Usually well-informed conference observers predicted that the conference, beginning its second week, would continue for about two more weeks. They said the coming week probably would be devoted to Italian and Balkan peace treaties, with Balkan pacts running over into the third week. They expressed belief.

however. that most of the final week would be given over to a study of German problems. There had been some that the French- frontier issue, on which little disagreement had been reported, might be completed by the council today and that the future of the Dodecanese Islands and the Italian colonies might be discussed again. Substantial disagreement still existed on the question of the Italdan colonies. especially Libya, for the British have proposed independence; the French, and Italtrusteeship; the United States, ty United Nations trusteeship; and Russia, a dual trusteeship for each colony under one of the big powers, with Italian assistance.

A member of the Italian delegation, a colonial expert who declined to be quoted by name. said that Italy was ready to give up her "fascist conquests" of Ethiopia and Albania, but he protested taking away Libya, Eritrea and Somaliland. which he called the "small share taken by Italy at the big colonial banquet where other big powers took the largest share." The Italian government and people, this source no said, favor the French plan of an Italian trusteeship, but he added that the U. 8 plan for United Nations trusteeship would be acceptable if the main control authority was given to Italians. Optometrist SEVEN LIBERTY STREET EVENINGS BE APPOINTMENT De Witt Mackenzie The Anglo- American inquiry committee's report on the white hot of handling the Palestine imbroglio lies heavy on A lot of chests.

This report among other things recommends that 100,000 Jewish 1m migrants be permitted to enter estine forthwith. whereas the British policy had provided for about 15,000 yearly. The report maintains that the Holy land shall be neither Jewish nor an Arab state It calls for the suppression of Arabian and Jewish violence, which has boiled up afresh ordeate and in itself presents tall Of course both Arabs and Jews have attacked the report. matter of immigration alone enough wall to make the kettle boil over. for the Arabs are against increasing the Jewish population, and the Jews want not a mere 100,000 permits but 1.000.000.

The Arabs have proclaimed A symbolic general strike in Palestine and are calling on neighboring states for support. Friday, To put it mildly, there's the devil to pay. Britain, which holds the mandate for Palestine, has received the report with cautious reserve which may be summed up in the words of Prime Minister Attlee that England doesn't want to be called Implement a policy which would involve it single-handed in heavy commitments. Hard to Blame John Bull Well, it's diffcult to blame John Bull for wishing to share his troubles, and as a matter of fact. proponents of the idea that Palestine is an international Issue dig some formidable arguments.

Still. mayhap John is in some respects making a virtue of necessity since Palestine, 1s a Mediterranean key position zone in of in- his fluence and one would expect him to want to retain sole control If he could. What's happened is that the poker has got too hot to hang onto. The Palestine situation has become grave again at a critical moment for England, because her domination of the Mediterranean has been thrown into the meltingpot by the post- -war realignment of zones of influence. Russia is insisting on her place in the Mediterrancan sun and is even asking for control of the Italian colony of Tripolitania in north Africa, dominating Britain's life-line to the Middle East and the Far East.

Furthermore, Egypt, which lies right alongside the Suez canal and is one of Britain's most vital posts on the imperial route, is demanding that the British clear out of the country altogether, And now comes trouble in Palestine--another strategic safeguard, and site of the port of Haifa which is the terminus of one of the great pipelines that pour oil from the Iraq petroleum fields into British naval and commercial ships. Among the high -lights of the Anglo- American report is the one in which the committee comments on its recommendation "that Palestine shall be neither a Jewish nor an Arab state." The committeemen say: "We, therefore, emphatically declare that Palestine is a Holy land, sacred to Christian, to Jew and to Moslem alike: and because it is Holy land, Palestine is not and never can become A land which any religion can justly claim as facevery own." ---Lavery Ties CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Dudley Nichols, Allan Scott and Lamar Trotti.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Senator La Follette (Prog- Wis) commented after Attice's speech that Britain should turn to the U.N if in need of help in Palestine. Senator Maybank (D-SC expressed doubt this country would send troops there Although there possibility the Palestine report may, hasten action, the U.N. had planned to discuss creation of a trusteeship council for the over -all supervision, of international territories General Assembly's meeting In September. The issue could, however. be before U.N.

Security council with contention that the the situation constitutes a threat to international security. But what action the council could or might take is uncertain, for thus far it has no military forces to back up its decisions. Until U.N. takes some action on trusteeships, Britain presumably will retain the mandate over Palestine she inherited from the League of Nations in 1922. In that role.

it will be up to Attee's government to initiate any action on the committee's recommendation for admission of the 100.000 Jews.
