Abandoning of Price
Controls on All Meat
Advocates 90-Day Test Period To Get
Livestock Packing Back to Normal
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 1-Secretary of Agriculture Anderson said today
that price control on meat should be abandoned unless a 90-day test period
shows packers can get livestock in "something like normal" volume.
He agreed, in an appearance at Senate Banking Committee hearing,-,
with the packers' cry that those who stay within ceiling prices have been
unable to get stock for slaughter.
Anderson said that two things may correct the situation: (1) new
quotas designed to route to slaughterers the same volume they had in 1944
and (2) a campaign to prevent diversion to black markets and other
abnormal sources of trade.
"This is about the last effort to
Bowles Warns
Public Against
Weakened OPA
WASHINGTON, May 1 - (A) -
Chester Bowles tonight advised the
public not to be duped by "compro-
mise" amendments now being pro-
posed to replace the amendments
fixed by the House to the OPA ex-
tension bill.
The public uproar over the "dan-
gerous and highly inflationary"
House bill has caused OPA's oppon-
nts to beat a seeming retreat, the
stabilization director said in a radio
address on the mutual network.
"But-and let me make this warn-
ing absolutely clear-let's not be
fooled by former opponents of firm
price control who suddenly protest
that they are really on our side."
He urged consumers to continue
their vigorous protests against a
weakened price act, declaring: "You
are opposed by a small but well-or-
ganized group of lobbyists who are
tilling the hotels here in Washington
right now."
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
said earlier in the day that price con-
cn o on meat should be abandoned
unless a 90-day test period showed
tiat packers could get livestock in
"omething like normal" volume.
see if it will work," he told Senator
>Barkley (Dem., Ky.) in a discussion
of meat control.
Barkley had related that a stock-
man "in whom I have every confi-
dence" stated that while he normally
slaughtered 7,000 head a week he can
now get but 500. Anderson called this
a typical case.
"Large, reliable companies can't
get cattle in the (price) compliance
range," he said. "They run up against
people who don't care about the
compliance range and these people
take it away from them.
"That's why slaughter quotas were
restored."
Anderson said the quotas were ef-
fective earlier and they might turn
the trick again, although he said
packers were not convinced they
would help enough.

Speculation
inor Influence
I Ftiechi Election
WASHINGTON, May 1--_P)-Pres-
ident Truman held a trans-atlantic
telephone chat with Foreign Minister
Bidault of France today and promptly
found himself projected into a con-
troversy cf both facts and politics-
French interm politics.
The White House said the two had
merely exchanged greetings. French
officials reported Itat the President
had told the Foreign Minter that
prospects were bright for an Ameri-
can loan for his country
French Elections Approach
French elections are only a month
off. Bidault is a leader of the one of
the three big parties, the Popular Re-
publican Movement (MRP), which is
battling it out with the Communists
and Socialists.
News of the telephone call broke in
Paris. Immediately afterward offi-
cial Washington began speculating
whether a close identification of Bi-
dault with the President of the Unit-
ed States, from which France needed
economic assistance, would influ-
ence French voters-and if so, how.
Would they be more or less pro-
MRP? .
Of the other two great French
parties, the Communists are headed
by Maurice Thorez, and the Socialists
by Leon Blum. Thorez is closely iden-
tified with Moscow, having recently
obtained wheat for France from Rus-
sia. Blum is now in Washington ne-
gotiating a loan for French recon-
struction.
Two Moves Possible
What effect the day's developmentt
might have on French politics was
a speculation that, according to dip-
lomatic experts, could move in two
directions. In contrast with Thorez'
show of assistance from Russia with
the wheat shipments, the non-com-
munist parties headed by Bidault and
Blum presumably would be able to
make a show of assistance from the
United States which would be drama-
tized by Bidault's telephone talk with
Mr. Truman. On the other hand is
the fact that the White House de-
cleared that the two had not dis-
cussed any politics or business.
Forrestal Rebukes Plan
To Merge Armed Forces
Suggests New Cabinet Post To Coordinate
Relations Between Governept Agencies
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 1-Secretary of the Navy Forrestal today lambasted
anew legislation to merge the armed forces, although praising President
Truman's "basic objective" of postwar unification.
Appearing before the Senate Naval Committee, Forrestal lashed out at
what he termed the "Army Plan for merger"--a bill aimed to carry out the
President's recommendations, which already has been approved by the Sen-
ate Military Committee.
After presenting a formal state-~ -
ment, which was made public, For-
restal was in closed session with the 'Cou ty Artists

Government of
China Returns
To Natnking
NANKING, May 1-(P)-China's
government moved back officially to-
day from Chungking to this ancient
northern city and was confronted
with problems almost as complex as
those of 1937 when the Japanese
drove it out of Nanking.
In government halls where the Jap-
anese conqueror and his puppet gov-
ernment once sat, the rulers of a
freed China must tackle the monu-
mental problems~ of internal strife
and reconstruction.
The government declared the task
of reconstruction was heavier than
that of waging war, and urged the
people to unite in bringing peace and
prosperity to China.
The paramount job of the moment
was to halt the government-Com-
munist fighting in Manchuria.
General Marshall, special U. S. en-
voy who arranged the truce for China
proper, was reported hopeful that an
agreement halting the Manchurian
conflict could be made shortly after
the government and Communist ne-
gotiators arrive, from Chungking
later this week.
On the political front, Minister of
Organization Chen Li-Fu told a press
conference the National Assembly
might be convened early in June to
adopt China's new constitution.
Chiang Kai-Shek postponed the
Assembly, originally scheduled to
meet May 5, as one concession to the
Communists, who had been demand-
ing a delay.
Plywood Supply
Is Restricted
WASHINGTON, May 1----The
government cinched up its building
controls anew tonight with an order
cutting in half the amount of ply-
wood which can be on a house or
apartment.
The Civilian Production Adminis-
tration ordered the curtailment in
order to spread the plywood supply.
The National Housing Agency took
action to permit the building of
homes which were halted at early
stages by the freeze of non-essential
construction on April 13.
NHA Administrator Wilson W.
Wyatt announced that veterans and
servicemen who had purchased home
sites prior to the freeze and who had
made one or more commitments such
as the clearing of land or payment of
architects' fees, could get approval to
construct a house selling for more
than $10,000. The purchase of ma-
terials or an obligation under a con-
struction contract similarly would
