S. Am- bassador Richard C. Patterson, have raised a question as to whether they should pay also for the loss of the planes, Clayton told a news conference. The Undersecretary—in charge tiie State Department in the of Secretary Byrnes and Undersecretary Dean Acheson—said no conclusive agreement has been reached with Marshal Tito's regime on the reparations matter, All that the State Department has reccived from Patterson thus far, he said, has been the first Yu- goslav reaction to the Ambassador's preliminary presentation of the is- sue. He added that the State Depart- ment bhas indicated to Patterson the amount the United States believes suitable for the indemnity payment, but he declined to make the figure public Clayton reiterated the position taken by the Government yesterday at absence that it weuld not intervene to halt UNRRA shipments to Yugoslavia Lecause of American ditferen: with Tito, - HOWARD HUGHES IN AIR: GOES EAST ON MISSION OF FIGHT CULVER C Howard Hughi ious mustache sporting A luxur- a lry-product of weeks spent in a hospital recuper- ating from his fiery crash nine weeks ago, took off today for New York to do battle with the Motion Picture Producers Association over his movie “The Outlaw.” Piloting a twin-engine converted B-23 transport himself, the mil- lionaire plane and movie maker said he“intended to “challenge the reveeation, of the seal of approval” announced, Sunday by Eric John- ston’s office.” He was accompanied only by a ' mechanic, Earl Martyn, and a pas- senger, Johns Sleeter, as the crafi |took the air from the Hughes Air- craft plapt’s Culver City airport. {1t was his first announced flight sinee an experimental military | plane crashed up July 7. - AFRICAN COAL : JOHANNESBURG—South Afriea | ments, of.

Schwellen- back talked with his assistant, Phil- ip Hannah, who has just returned rom a conference with union lead- ers in San Francisco. Hannah said flatly that he had failed to win a truce and that the only way the strike could be settled it for the Wage Stabilization Board to reverse its ruling which cut down raises AFL seamen gained from shipown- ers by negotiation The shipowners* themselves ap- pealed to the Stabilization Board to lapprove the wage increases which they gave to the seamen. A spokes- man told the board that the in- creases are no inflationary. ‘The operators agreed to raises of $22.50 a month on the West Coast .and $2750 a month on the East {Coast, but the Board pared the 'amount to $17.50—identical amount ewarded CIO seamen last June in settlement of a threatened strikc.

Called Meeting Off In New York a hastily called meeting of the maritime leaders— including striking union represen- tatives—was scheduled for this af- ternoon. But an executive of one of the AFL unions says he decided to call the meeting off because he sees no necessity for it at this e, Paralysis Felt The shipping paralysis is being felt at all coastal points of the nation, dnd, if continued, will spread its economic and industrial effects throughout the entire coun- try. New York Harbor—normally the busiest in the world—is hard bit. But the situation in the New Ycrk metropolitan area is doubly serious because of the continued strike of 25,000 AFL truck drivers. Retail stores are quickly being emptizd of food, and a new wave of buying today has practically strip- ped grocery shelves of canned gcods and other staples. It goes without staying that this shortage includes meat. But that cendition prevails all over the country Price ceilings went back into effect today, and during the period since July 1 when there were no ceiling livestock producers un- lvaded their meat animals on the market.
