SOurl Senator and his able c bareknuckled going over for fail- ing more effectively to utilize the nations industrial system for war production.
 Truman will flatly demand the elimination of all Dollar-A-Year and "WOC' without compensa- tion) men as the first step in a top-to-bottom cleanup of the OPM, which he will recommend should be undertaken immediately.

 Truman's report will strongly recommend that the government either pay Dollar-A-Year and "WOC' men regular salaries or get rid of them. As now written, the report declares:
 "NO man can serve two mas ters. his company and the gov ernment. Human nature be- ing what it is, a DOllar-a Year man cannot be expected to for get the interests of his com Iany, especially while he is still on the payroll of that com pany'

 The cOlonel's commission dis carded last year by Charles Lind bergh while waging his bitter iso- lationist crusade will be reinstated by the War DepDrtment--when his formal applicatino has been re- ceived.
