GOVERNMENTS WAR
 PURCHASING PROGRAM
Gone Over in Detail by the New War
 Industries Board.

Washington, Aug. 9-The govern ment's war purchashing program was gone over in detail today by the new war industries board. It calls for an elimination of excessive profits on war materials sold to the American and the allied governments and con- templates protection for the Ameri- can people against extortionate charges.
 One subject given especial consid- eration today was that of compelling American producers to sell war sup plies to the allies at the same price charged the American government Protests against this policy it was said today. are so general the gov ernment is taking steps to force com plance and if necessary will seek legislation to accomplish it.
 Reports today that steel producers had declined to supply the war de- partments with an order of rails for france because of the low price Of fered indicated that open opposition to the announced policy is appearing. The war department declined either to deny or confirm the rumor, aI- though it was learned that there had been some sort of hitch in negotia- tionS over the order.
 Officials who believe the government already has over to enforce it's poli- c1es concerning allied prices and costs to the American public hold that the priority bill now before the president TOT signature g1VeS the government sufficient power to do what it wishes Manufacturers, they say, who decline to sell at prices prescribed could be handled by denying them the use of the railroads in transporting their goods. Control of exports also. it is said, might be used and producers who failed to make fair prices to the allied governments would be refused licenses to ship their goods The disadvantage of this plan. though, would be that the buyer might suf- fer because of the delay.
