OPA Reviews Meat Ceilings
by Un'ted Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. — rangements have been made to rope OPA said tonight it is reviewing
its rollback on restaurants’ meat dish prices but that so far the industry had failed to substantiate its demand for higher ceilings.
Price Chief Paul A. Porter said the review was ordered because of “widespread protests from the industry."
“If the industry can show that its earnings are belcw 1942 levels, either with or without the restored ceilings on meat offerings, an increase in ceiling prices can be provided under the law." Porter said. He issued his statement shortly

The tempest aroused by the sug- | gestion from Dobkin that a system of checks be set up on the pledges made by successful candidates in student body elections continued to blow today following statements issued to the Daily Trojan by some of the principals involved. The proposal would have made it incumbent upon the ASSC president to appoint a committee whose duty it would have been to make monthly reports to the senate on the progress of all pledges made by student body officers during theii campaigns for office.

Polyzoides Reports on U. N.
White House Urges Byrnes Accept Wallace Talk Truce
WASHINGTON. Sept. 19 <T.P>— President Truman was believed tonight to have urged Secretary of State James F. Byrnes to accept
Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace's decision to stop making public statements on foreign policy until after conclusion of the Paris Peace Conference.
The Chief Executive and Byrnes engaged in a 20-minute trans-At-1 an tic teletype “talk” after publication of reliable reports from Paris that Byrnes was not satisfied with the Wallace “truce." Later Pans dispatches said that BjTnes
appeared to be in good spirits after the exchange of messages.
It was the first officially confirmed communication between Mr. Truman and the head of the U. S. delegation to Paris since Wallace exploded his “ease up on Russia" plan in a New York speech last Thursday night.
The Wallace program, aimed directly against Byrnes' policies, resulted in a serious breach in the Truman cabinet at a time when the administration was striving to put up a united front in the approaching congressional elections.

time tie-up.
Fly said an award for a Pacific Coast CIO union would be forthcoming in a few days and he believed it would result in an end to the strike on the £adific coast. Today’s award affected only the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
AWAIT NMU DECISION
Curran indicated that the National Maritime union's decision on the award would be announced at the conclusion of a national poiicy committee meeting.
“The NMU has not refused to accept the arbitrator's award,” he said. “The matter is being discussed and we will have a statement at the end of the meeting.”
Fly said the rises for able seamen and firemen of the CIO union would bring those groups up to parity with AFL seamen’s unions.
He said awards in other ratings ranged from $2 to as high as $25 monthly.
NAMES OFFER DIFFICULTY
Fly said an effort was made to give parity in all classes of work. He said that lack of information, however, caused difficulty in the steward’s department. Jobs in the AFL and CIO unions often were known by different names, he said.
“This award will provide a basis for settling the entire conflict in the mantime industry. The decision, however, involved specifically only the Atlantic and Gulf coasts," he added.
Do It Right/ Nurse Pleads
Overwhelmed by the rush of students to the university health office, Chief Nurse Margaret Mc-Morrow RN. appealed to Trojans to be certain in the future that their physical examination forms and veteran waivers are filled out
correctly.
Veterans who signed their waivers in pencil or printed their names are requested to report to the health office to fill out new forms, since the government will not accept them unless properly signed.
The waivers do not save any time in registration except for veterans, according to Miss McMorrow. They add to the work of the health office because the army and navy physical examination forms are slow in returning and many are incomplete. So far. out of approximately 3500 such waivers sent to the government for veterans who registered in November, 1945, only about 900 have been returned, and on many of these the information ia inadequate.
