REPORTED 0 BE IN HANDS OF SOVIET POLICE

MoNarney Will Cc Will Confer With Reds Today Over Disappearance.

BERLIN, July 20 (U. P).—The top American and Russian officers in Germany were [understood to be conferring here today on the disappearance of two U. 8. army men. They were reported to be in the

hands of the Soviet secret police. |:

Responsible sources said Gen. Joseph T. McNarney and Marshal Vassily D. Sokolovsky were meeting to discuss the case of Capt. Harold Cobin, Newark, N. J., and Lt. George Wyatt, Oklahoma City.

Reports of the conference at the :

highest level in this country followed predictions by American officers that only intercession in that category would liberate the army officers. + Earlier today a military spokesman said Capt. Cobin anc Lt, Wyatt were seized by the Russian secret police, who still held them despite the persistent efforts to negotiate their release.

Prisoners of NKVD

A spokesman for the army's crimfnal investigation division said it had specific details which convinced authorities that Capt. Cobin and Lt. Wyatt were prisoners of the NXVD or Soviet secret police. The details were withheld for the time being in order not to impair | any value they may have in any| further bargaining with the Russians for the release of the men. The spokesman said the C. I. D. learned .that Capt. Cobin and Lt. Wyatt never reached nearby Oranienburg, their destination when they boarded a train in Berlin July 4. Instead, he said, NKVD agents removed them from the train at Birkenwerder, a& northern suburb of Berlin. Warrant Officer and Mrs. Samuel Harrison, who were released this week after 15 days: in Russian hands, were seized at Birkenwerder, the C. I. D. spokesmen said.

Shifted About

Capt. Cobin and Lt. Wyatt, he said, were shifted about from place to place after their arrest. For a time they were held at Glinecke, where the NKVD has headquarters on the outskirts of Berlin, . ‘It now appears obvious that the Russians took our people prisoners In retaliation for our capturing three of their agents,” the C. I. D. spokesman said, Two Russian officers and their chauffeur who had been held by the Americans as spies were turned back to the Russians late Wednesday. Authorities had given every indication that they expected’ to trade the Russians for the missing Americans. No explanation was forthcoming of the apparent misfiring of the plan, Higher Intervention

Officials here—their hope waning for the release of the Americans— said they feared that only the intervention on the highest leevis would avail anything. A high officer of the C. I. D. who has taken a leading part in the case said he personally believed that nothing less than intercession by Gen. McNarney or Secretary of State James F. Byrnes would prevail on the Russians to free them.

Film Maker Is Hit By Photographer

HOLLYWOOD, July 20 (U, P.) — Magazine Photographer Bruce Bailey claimed a one-punch victory over Producer David O. ‘Selmick today after a nightclub battle that was over before most patrons knew it had started. Mr, Bailey said he had been photographing film notables when Mr.

Selznick swung at him and then]

absorbed a short punch to the jaw. Mr, Selznick declined comment, admitting only that there had been a “slight incident” at the Mocambo. According to Mr. Bailey, the producer apparently thought his longetanding objection to being photographed was being ignored when the photographer tried to line up a shoti of Shirley Temple, seated two tables away, “He got up and passed in front of me” Mr. Bailey said, “then glashed at my camera and growled ‘you'll get that camera smashed’ “I moved my camera to the other hand and he slapped at me again. I swung my camera to the other hand and he slapped at me again, I swung a short clip to his chin. Before I could swing again, people stepped between us.” .

Meat Prices High

At Baltimore, Md., pork was selling from 49 to 55 cents a pound, compared to the OPA ceiling of 38 to 40 cents. Beef and steak, formerly 33 to 38 cents, sold at 69 to 85 cents a pound. Veal and lamb were as high as 70 cents over OPA ceilings. Baltimore butchers said they had a plentiful supply of beef and perk, however. They expected prices to drop , slightly in the near future They said they had handled very little veal and lamb during the past week. -. * At Boston, Mass; “meat prices ranging from 50 to 60 per cent higher than the OPA ceiling prices were reported. Meat was still scarce and customers reportedly were buying what they could get without bothering to ask the prices. Resist Mounting Prices A survey at Salt Lake City, Utah, showed that retail prices for meat had dropped several cents a pound from last week’s: high. A spokesman for the wholesale meat division of the Merchant and Manufacturers association at Washington said that the nation’s capital was now getting 80 per cent of the normal meat supply. Retailers were resisting high prices and prices were beginning to drop slightly, he said.

FT. WAYNE, Ind, July 20 (U: P.).~Some 1000 consumers, some of them carrying posters urging “Don't buy now,” crowded on the courthouse square in a C. I. O.sponsored demonstration yesterday to protest rising prices. Several hundred C. I. O. workers from Pt. Wayne plants marched to the court house whgre they and other consumers heard union leaders shout that “a buyers’ strike is the only way to prevent another strike on the industrial front.” The mass rally, which attracted fewer persons than expected, broke up in about an hour in a downpour of rain, Paul Silvers, national representative of the United Auto Workers, called for “action to end the inflation which already has started. “Prices have been shooting up, all over the country,” he shouted. “The manufacturers want to get rid of the OPA so they can take away from you all the money you've saved in the war years, “We've got to get out picket lines for buyers’ strikes, get in touch with ‘your congressmen and don’t let landlords toss tenants out of their homes,” he said.

LONDON, July 20 (U. P.).—=Dr. Alexander A. Bogomolets, “Russian {discoverer of a serum which he said should help man live to an age of 150 years, was dead today at 65.

He held that it was designed to halt the degenaration of certain bodily components that begins after middle age. The normal life span should be 125 to 150 years, he contended. The basic content of the serum was understood to come from human connective tissue. He designed it to stimulate the system of con-

{nective, tissues so as to contain the body and its various organs. Dr. Bogolomets reported that

many members of his staff had benefitted from use of the serum. He experimented with it on animals and then humans. The production of the serum in the Unted States was understood to be on a limited scale for medical
