Are Ordered
Truman Supports
Meat Price Control
WASHINGTON, May ?-(P)-The
government ordered slaughterers to
set aside more pork and lard for ex-
port today while President Truman
emphasized that his administration
still stands for price controls on meat.
Slaughterers were directed to set
aside for government export purchase
pork products equal to 15 per cent
of the live weight of the hogs they
slaughter and a quantity of lard and
rendered pork fat equal to six per
cent of the live weight of their
slaughter.
Effective Monday
The order, effective Monday, ap-
plies to federally-inspected plants in
all except 11 southeastern states
where output is insufficient to meet
local needs.
The set-aside percentage now is
13 per cent for perk products and
five per cent for lard. The program
has not applied previously to ren-
dered pork fats. Beef already is sub-
ject to a set-aside order with the gov-
ernment taking about ten per cent
for export.
Controls To Be Maintained
The Vresident declared that he
"wishes it clearly understood that
as long as there are dangerous up-
ward presures on meat prices and as
long as the government has the au-
thority to deal with them, price con-
trols on livestock and meat will be
firmly maintained."
He issued a statement to clear up
"a series of unfortunate mis-interpre-
tations" as Speaker Rayburnfrom
cattle-raising texas came out for
abandonment of beef price controls.

MORE HOUSES FOR VETS:
State FHA Director Prediclts
Increase in Building Material
Increased supplies of building ma-
terials were predicted for the near
future by Harry M. Steffy, assistant
state director of the Federal Housing
Administration, in a talk last night
at the Ann Arbor High School.
Steffy said that supplies of critical
materials are probably at their lowest
point at present and that as they
become more abundant building re-
strictions will probably be relaxed.
"By the close of the year," he said,
"the Civilian Production Administra-
tion hopes to be able to remove all
of the building restrictions now in ef-
fect."
As he explained, present OPA ord-
ers limit domestic building to a $10,-
000 ceiling and require official per-
mission for repair work involving
costs over $400. With the exception
of farm building, for which the rules
are more liberal, and commercial
construction, which comes under
other regulations, all other building is
forbidden.
Steffy further explained the re-
quirements which must be met by

Conducts Research
That an intensive research and
development program on guided
missiles has been carried on during
the war in the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity applied Physics Laboratory, and
the University of Michigan is one of
the a sociatedycontractors, was re-
vealed yesterday by the Navy Depart-
ment.
"We are doing fundamental work
on some aspects of high speed flight,"
Dr. Arnold M. Kuethe of the Depart-
ment of Aerodynamics said. Prof.
Otto Laporte of the physics depart-
ment, Prof. R. C. F. Bartels of the
mathematics department and several
graduate students are also working
on the project.
Guided missiles designed to ope-
rate in the supersonic speed range
have been tested at the Johns Hop-
kins University and models have
achieved a rate of above 1100 feet
per second for short periods during
free flight tests.
Work has also been done on the
VT fuze, gun director and torpedo
exploder mechanisms. Fundamental
research on basic theories, measure-
ments and instrumentation relating
to the field of supersonic flight is
expected to contribute significantly
to the general fund of knowledge in
this country.

He said additional units might be
obtained later to ease the college
housing shortage.

CIO, and President Tom Clampiti
said the exact date will be set by the
local's executive board. He added that
there were no dissenting votes.
Clampitt said the local will renew
13 demands which the company ha.
rejected.
The main issue is what the unior
has termed "abnormal" production
rates that have led to the "docking"
of employes' wages. The company re-
cently won a court case in Detroit in
which the UAW-CIO charged it with
illegally deducting from a worker's
wage.
The strike vote was precipitated,
the union said, by the discharge of
four employes Thursday at the firm's
Mack Avenue plant. One of them was
a veteran.
