N. Y.. Aug. SO — (UP) — soviet ttuaala tried today to bring Britain and Greece to the United Nations dock before the Greek vote Sunday on the fute of their monarchy. The ItiiHslans struggled against Anglo-American opfNMltion to force a pre-election hearing on charges that the present Greek government, supported by Britain, constitutes a threat to the peace. The move confronted the world organisation with its second Rus-sian-sponsored effort to condemn what it considers British domination of Greece, the only Balkan nation outside the Boviet sphere. The first attempt was turned aside by the western powers after long debate in the security conn cll'a open session* this year in London. The actual issue before the 11nation council was the complaint of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic that the Greek monarchist government — whose future hinges on the Sunday elections — was formenting friction In the Balkans. Ukrainian foreign minister Dmitri .Manlulski flew from Paris yesterday prepared to air his case if Soviet delegate Andrei A. Gromyko succeeds in forcing the council to take up the charges at it* meeting late today Britain, counting on support from the United States, hoped to keep the Issue off the council's agenda until after Sunday's referendum In Greece. The fact that the meeting was scheduled for today Instead of next wpek was a victory for Gromyko. The Russian delegate climaxed a bitter lOliour council session last night by beating down efforts to adjourn until next Tuesday. Gromyko also presented a surprise proposal that the council require ail United Nations to report within two weeks on the number and disposition of all armed forces which they were maintaining Aug. 1 in foreign territories other than former enemy coun-

U. S. Industry Output Near To Capacity Pre-War Production Records Shattered In Basic Industries Wtmhington. Aug. 30. —(Upl — America's basic Industrie were reliorted I >day at virtual capacity output. Production of consumer durables has in many cases sirpassed pre war levels. But civilian production chief John B. Small. In an other wi*e r<wy forecast, made it plain that labor trouble or inflatlm can still upset the applecart. Not only are more goods being producer). Small said, but with civilian employment at an all-time high, more ready money is available to buy them with. "The stop-and-go output of materials and parts which has been obstructing volume manufacturing has now been replaced by continuouu, high-level production," he said in a monthly report. "That meatM that industry Is within sight of full production of finished goods If industrial peace continues.” Small said the "gro»s national product" in the second quarter of IMC reached an annual rate of Sl3i).ono.UiM>,(Hm (B), figured In 193fFg unlnflated dollars. This ie 17 percent more than in IHi and 45 percent over 1939. In the current quarter, he said, output may approach within five percent of an all-time peak rate of 142,M0,000,0M I 81. set in the war-producing second quarter of 1»4& Small said that with the dosing ot war plants it was expected less money would remain In circulation. Actually, the amount of money in circulation has been climbing since March, and hau reached a new peak. "The rise Is uieturbing." said Small. Consumer incomes in April. May and June were at an annual rate of |1«1.000,000,OM (Bl—the highest since the second quarter of 1945. when, swollen by war spending. they reached »103.000,0n0.tHW HD.
