iiilomments 0n Fur lPriee Prospects

MONTREAL. Nov. 28 —- (C?) --Michael Morris. former Prices Board fur administrator, said t0- day that Canadian fur prices had never risen as sharply as in the United States and that the price level here was not likely to drop to the same extent as it has done in New York. '

A New York dispatch Tuesday said fur coat prices in the United States are “tumbling rapidly from the highest levels in history."

"The situation in Canada dif- fers from that of the United States," Mr. Morris said. “Our selling policy never zoomed to American heights. Therefore Can- adian prices do not take the sharp percentage drop, although the Canadian fur retailer usually fol- lows the trend of world markets."

Canadian manufacturers and retailers» are at present selling garments fashioned from the 1045- 46 skin crop, the former fur ad- ministrator said, ‘

“Prices for the fresh crop of Skins have not as yet been deter- mined — the trapping season is Just beginning - therefore a dmp in raw fur prices for the new crop, if any, will be known only when the skins are placed on the ma:- ket for sale."

Hot Issue

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Nov. 28

-(CP)—-Fc‘reign Minister Molotov of Russia today knocked the lid off the hottest issue before the United Nations-disarmament. In p, surprise move, he agreed to a system of iniemational controls and inspections to check on arms cuts and for outlawing atomic weapons.

veering away from previous Russian stands against any global checkup Mr. Molotov atlpulstvd that the proposed control bodies oper- ate under the Security Council where Russia holds the power of veto.

l-Ie made no direct mention of the veto but Bi-r Hartley Shaw- cross, leader of the Brltisn dele- gation. quickly said that any sys-

tem of controls and inspections "must not be affected by any veto." '”

The United States long has in- slsted that the veto be eliminated from any atomic control plan but Russia has refused to surrender the right.

Canada and Australia generally agreed with the Soviet disarma- ment proposal but offered amend- ments because they ssld it did not go far enough.

Mr. Molotov, who originally put the broad arms-reduction plan be- fore the U. N~. took ihe floor first in the M-member political com- mittee.

His supplementary inspection proposal provided that to ensure the adoption of measures for arms reduction and prohibition of the use of atomic energy for military ‘PIIIDOIQI; therq would be set up within the framework of the Sec- urity Council the following spec- lai “organs of inspection?’

1. A commission for the con- trol of the execution oi’ the de- cision on the reduction of arni- - amentr.

2. A commission for the con- trol of the execution of the ile- rision regarding the prohibi- tlon of the use of atomic en- ergy for military purposes.

Sir Hartley warmly welcomed the whole Soviet proposal, nut cautioned that. "there mus‘. be means io assure that nations are in fact disarming." i

Substitute Water For 17 p.e. 0f Fuel

WASHINGTON. Nov. 28-(AP)— Dr. George C. Ruhland, Distm‘. of Columbia health officer, came up with a happy thought today for householders worried about soft coal shortages.

He said they've probably been using too much coal anyway. Most people can substitute ware;- for l7 per cent of their usual fuel outlay and feel fine.

Dr. Ruhlsnd explained:

A room temperature of 6B is comfortable if humidity is 50 per cent. Exposing i0 to l4 o-inres of water daily in each 10x10 foot room will keep it that way.

But when humidity is lower, as it is in most cases, the tempera- tllre is apt to be maintained at around '14 degrees.
