By institutions With Favor

OTTAWA lCP) - Hundreds of hospitals and charitable institu- tions have replied favoring the government's proposed 2l-cent-n- pound price cut on butter and the sales plan will start operating next week. federal officials said Wed- nesday.

Under the surplus-disposal plan. some 1.500 institutions such as bos- pltais and orphanages will get but- ter through regular supply chan- nels at a price 21 cents a pound lower than they normally pay.

The government l J its surplus through its price support program under which it offers to buy all surplus butter at 58 cents a pound wholesale. stores it and attempts to dispose of its ac- cumulations during the winter at 61 cents a pound wholesale. The three cents difference covering handling and storage costs.

WILL MAKE UP DIFFERENCE

The government will make up the price difference to the sup- pliers either in cash or butter re- placement stock: from the 70.000.- 000 pounds held by the agricul- tural prices support board. The loss through the price cut will be charged against the federal treas- ury and the Canadian taxpayer.

The board sent invitations to the institutions last Friday to partic- ipate in the price-cut plan and offi- cials said they have received "bushels of replies-all favorable."

Aim of the price reduction is to boost butter consumption and the board pointed out in its letters of invitation that "this should be pos- sible if you allocate in your budget

Russian Sfeol Mill For India

NEW DELHI (AP!-The gov- crnmeot formally accepted Wed- nesday a Russian offer to con- struct a million-ton steel mill in India-marking an initial success for Russia's first large-scale at- tempt to export technical know- ledge to a non-Communist na- lion.

An agreement signed between India and Russia leaves the way open. however, for New Delhi to change its mind if it dislikes the final plans or final price.

The accord indicates Moscow is not giving lndia something for nothing but is requiring India to 083' for everything: plant. equip- nient. technical aid and expert ad- vce. .

While the Russian Indian steel accord gives no final figures. it says the Russian equipment may cost about 434,000,000 rupees :891.- 140.000 and technical aid at least 25.000,000 rupees 85.250000. Production Minister K. C. Reddy said the plant would be

For years thq mills have been turning out wide boards as roof sheeting but recentlyl asphalt shingle suppliers complained that the wide boards tend to warp. causing the shingle to loosen and shift. They asked that the width be limited to six inches. lsnned an or- width to eight inches but shelved the or- der when Tbey argued that wide boards warp no more than narrow ones and that the order would disrupt traditional sawing practices. Deal- ers would be left with stocks of wide boards for which there is no market.

Looking over the issue again. the government housing agency decided not to interfere with board widths but to make "on site" tests over a period of a year to find out whether wide boards do warp more than narrow.

810.000 worth of smuggled jewelry from the United States.

By ARTHUR EVERETT NEW YORK tAPi--Multl-million- air: Serge Rubinstein. who spent lavishly in life on glamor-girl cafe society play A . remelnbefbd only one of them Wednesday in death. .

She is Betty Reed. a blonde colo- ratura soprano. who was left 810.- 000 in the draft dodgers wdi.

Worth an estimated 8l0.000.000. Rubinstein's will was filed Wednes- day for probate. Most of bin wealth went to his family. - Meanwhile. police sources re- ported that a broker friend of the strangled financier had turned over a list of -10 of Rubinstein: many business foes for 00851519 questioning.

DENIES ACTION

The broker. Stanley T. Stanley. denied this. However. he has main- tained from the outset that the 45-year'-old Rubinstein was murd- dered by paid iiilliirs. and that the slaying could have its roots in busi- ness enmlties.

Rubinstein listed the names of social and business friends and ac- quaintances in a half dozen loose- leaf address books that turned up after his slaying. Police were re- ported about three-quarters of the way through their check of the more than 1.000 names.

Clues to his slaying seemed as vague Wednesday as when Rubin- stein's pyjama - clad body was found Jan. 27. strangled. gagged and trusacd on a bedroom floor of his orantc Fifth avenue mansion. FACED DEPORTATION

The Russian - born Rubinstein served a federal prison term for Second World War draft dodging and to the moment of his death the government was trying to de- port him.

In his will. the bulk of his wealth was left to his two small daughters. But the principal was tied up until they reached the age of 50. The girls are Diana. 0. and Alexandra. 7. now in custody of Rubinstein's divorced wife.

The will was dated the day be- fore Christmna. 1953. It referred to his fortune as merely in ex- cess of 8100.000. n customary de- vice in a will involving great or untabulated wealth.
