Totals Raps Petrillo Plan As 'Hyprocrisy' Coinciding with an announcement that the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra would probably participate in the plan of James Caesar Petrillo, head of tha American Federation of Musicians, to send symphony orchestras to small cities for free concerts, the plan was attacked as "unequaled for hypocrisy" by Neville Miller, president of the National Association of Broadcasters. Miller said that Petrillo had "done more to prevent symphonic music in the United States than any other man in the history of our country" through his ban on the manufacture of records. The announcement of the Philharmonic's probable participation in the plan was made by Bruno Zirato, associate manager of the orchestra. BUY V. 8.

WAR BONDS AND SAVINGS STAMPS I ADVANTAGE OF OWNING H.O.LC. HOMES Claims 'Extortion' Charges Were Based On Dues Collections Sidney Hillman, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America iC. I. O.t, charged today that 14 laundry union leaders were indicted July 6 on charges of extortion and blackmail solely because they sought to collect union dues. Declaring that the indicted men, officials of the Independent Laundry Drivers Union, Local 324, an amalgamated affiliate, had been members since 1937, Mr.

Hillman said: 'There are no charges of racketeering, kickbacks or shakedowns. The sole charge is collecting union dues, a ommon practice under collective bargaining agreements." The 55 counts of blackmail, Mr. Hillman declared, "are based upon 55 letters sent out by the local to delinquent members, calling upon them to pay their, dues. The 16 extortion counts total $357 for delinquent dues." Describing as "absurd" the State's contention that independent laun dry drivers are "business men" and therefore not subject to unionization, Mr. Hillman accused At fto 170,000 families fcovt olrtody bovgM 1 C.

After giving serious study to the rent situation in New York, Heffernan today said that he and Representatives Lynch of the Bronx end Burchill of Manhattan called upon Brown.

Heffernan said they told Brown that during the last war New York City was subject to rent control by the State because of the concentration of war Industry 1q the city. This resulted In rapid abandonment of rent raises at that time, Heffernan said. "When we had finished," he continued, "Mr. Brown told us that the OPA would soon put New York within the rent-control area."

Definite cause for optimism lies in two announcements yesterday by the Food Distribution Administration. One was that the quota of meat that slaughterers must set aside for the Government has been reduced from 45 percent to 30 percent during this week and will keep a steady level of 40 percent for an indefinite period afterward. Another Regulation Another new quota regulation allows slaughterers who cannot fill heir beef quotas to use pork to make up the deficiency.

Previously, each category had its own slaughtering limits, which had to be held to even if there was a surplus In one and a shortage In the other. Industry spokesmen hailed the two announcements as marking the end of the shortage. The WFA, In explaining the cut in the set-aside slaughtering quota, said that increased numbers of cattle now going to market will make more beef available for civilians. There have been frequent predictions, since the drying up of Western grass lands first became noticeable about three weeks ago, that ranchers drive increasing numbers of cattle to market as reed became less plentiful. However, even as things began to brighten.

Markets Commissioner Daniel P. Woolley said that retailers are not feeling any effect of the expanding supply, and hinted that extra shipments may be going into "expensive restaurants, hotels and Summer resorts." Rush to Buy Butter Elsewhere on the food front there was a run on retail groceries for butter, following the OPA announcement of a two-point per pound in crease effective Sunday. House wives, however, found many stores out of butter and others limiting their sales to a quarter pound per person. Mayor LaGuardia, speaking at the opening of the New York City Food and. Nutrition Center, 45 Lafayette Manhattan, said that OPA needs a good course In nutrition.

The center has been opened to nelp consumers meet nutrition needs in the face of scarcity, high-point values and the rise in the cost of living. Owls Head Park fourth-term votes came close to a 2-to-l majority. The returns by localities appear in a companion table. Results 1st A. D-3d A.

It happened at an Indianapolis railroad station. Sarpa, whose parents came from Italy, saw some Italian prisoners at the station and spoke to them in their native tongue.

One, a general, told Sarpa he liked America and that he was treated well. As the prisoners train pulled out the general took from his lapel the gold star of his rank, kissed it, murmured "Forever lost" in Italian and handed it to Sarpa. 87 89 141 73 129 190 28 6 15 22 21 33 709 125 tered among former Gov.

BUY THE BIS BOTTLE WATER Unada off WATEJ, 1 Afi "1 It has been truly said that "morale is made up of a lot of little not the least of which are beverages of moderation such as beer. Our government has, therefore, directed the brewing industry to set aside an increased share of its beer production for our fighting men. Necessarily this means less Trommer's for civilian consumption. To offset this reduction in civilian supply, we have decided to temporarily discontinue the sale of Trommer's Beer in some of our important but distant territories. This action has also been taken to give even more help to the national transportation problem.

In spite of this action, however, you may from time to time find your dealer unable to supply you with Trommer's Beer. But if and when this should occur, I know that you will find satisfaction, with us, in the fact that your glass of Trommer's has gone off to war to bring refreshment to our fighting men.
