Hints Possible Wage Modification
WASHINGTON-(AP)-Mobilization Director Charles E. Wilson
outlined the nation's mobilization program last night and issued
a warning against all profiteers.
Wilson declared that "nobody" is going to profiteer from the
defense emergency without being prosecuted.

HE PROMISED TO RECOMMEND legislation to back up this
pledge, made in his first address to the country on the progress of the
gigantic mobilization program. -His speech was broadcast nationwide.

has bitterly assailed it as too
low. He said:
"Wage policies are being modi-
fied again to conform with the best
interest of the entire economy."
In outlining the mobilization
program Wilson disclosed:
1. The United States intends to
expand jet engine production ca-
pacity to 18,000 a month.
2. The United States will be
asked for $150,000,000,000 ex-
tra for defense "in the next two
or three years." Over a three-
year period this would be about

RFC Letters
]Examined
By Truman
President Finds
Nothing 'Illegal'
WASHINGTON-()-President
Truman stirred the wrath of in-
vestigating Senators yesterday as
it was disclosed he had collect-
ed a file of letters written by Con-
gressmen to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, but he later
explained he found no evidence of
"illegal influence" on the huge
lending agency.
President Truman said he saw
no reason to make the correspond-
ence public because, he said, it did
not show any illegality on the part
of the executive branch or legis-
lators.
If the senators thought other-
wise, he said, "the material will be
sent to the subcommittee of the
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee at its request."
* * *
The row on Capitol Hill start-
ed with a morning session of the
subcommittee, which has harg-
ed that influence' emanating
from the White House had been
exerted on lending policies of
the RFC.
Senators on the subcommittee
discovered that the President had
ordered the mass of correspond-
ence delivered to the White House.
They immediately interpreted this
as a counter-attack against their
investigation.
* *
THEY DECLARED they refused
to be intimidated.
It was disclosed that the Pres-
ident had in his possession be-
tween 700 and 900 letters from
RFC files. Most of them are
from Congressmen, and some
ask favorable consideration of
loan applications. Among the
correspondents are Sen. Ful-
bright (D-Ark.), chairman of
the subcommittee, and Sen.
Douglas (D-Ill.), also a commit-
tee member.
The President issued a brief
statement through his press sec-
retary, Joseph Short, which said
thlat the letters were requegted in
connection with a study of his
plans for reorganization of the
RFC.

Senate Action
To Be Speeded
On Year Olds
WASHINGTON - ()- Senate
administration leaders yesterday
decided to speed action on legisla-
tion for the drafting of 18-year-
olds before settling the troops-for-
Europe issue.
Majority leader McFarland (D-
Ariz) told newsmen after a Demo-
cratic caucus that Senate debate
on the manpower bill will start
early next week, probably on
y Tuesday.
* ' *
THE BILL, providing for a Uni-
versal Military Service and Train-
ing program, would grant restrict-
ed authority for drafting 18-year-
olds. It would also extend the
period of service from 21 to 26

The wage plan was adopted by
the wage stabilization board. This
action last week caused the
board's three labor members to
walk out, and brought a denunci-
ation by the labor committee of
the whole mobilization setup.

Expect Purge
In Red China
WASHINGTON-( P)-State De-
partment officials believe China's
Communist leaders are about to
undertake large-scale, bloody pur-
ges to consolidate their iron hold
over the country.
That was the interpretation
generally placed in Washington
yesterday on a Peiping announce-
ment broadcast Thursday. The
broadcast, as picked up in Hong
Kong, disclosed that Red leaders
had ordered the death penaltyl
for any acts which might be con-'
strued as "opposition" to the re-
gime.
Information which is credited
by government experts here is
that there has been considerable
resistance in China to the Red
regime since it took over. How-
ever, according to this informa-
tion, resistance has been for the
most part spotty and localized.

WASHINGTON-(P)-The Uni-

General Electric Company spokes-
man, who told newsmen:

"CONTRACTUAL negotiations

A DISPATCH from U.S. Eighth
Army headquarters said the Reds
still were withdrawing on the
fourth day of the new Allied of-
fensive but were expected to make
a stand in the mountains beyond

Eighth Army and Gen. Douglas
MacArthur stressed heavy en-
emy resistance.

leashed a counterattack last night
against South Koreans. The en-
emy struck behind a Red mortar
barrage. The result was not dis-

Chipyong, 20 miles west, British
and Canadian soldiers found it
slow going against a hard-fighting
foe, but northeast of Chipyong,
U.S. troops advanced five miles
beyond the town to a point less
than 35 miles from the 38th Par-
allel.
Twenty-five miles east of
Hoengsong, Allied troops moved
north from reoccupied Pyong-
chang, the enemy's abandoned
eastern anchor. There was no
mention of opposition.
Latest reports from Eighth
Army headquarters said there were
indications the Reds may make
their big stand somewhere on a
line running from north of Hoeng-
song westward to the Chipyong
sector.
The attacking force included
four veteran American divisions

ance, Allied officers speculated
that they might not yet have met

mated previously to total 40,000
