BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON. Aug. 70
Wbic SCOT from scattered
labor fires has been soilng The
front pages Mr.. Rooscvclts
trouble compromiscr Judge
Samuel RoScnman, has been
proving around the government
seeking a new administrative
formula Tor wages and prices
which might wet the situation
down somewhat.
Alternative recommendations
were slipped into Mr. RooSe-
yelt's pocket by ms adviser with
out announcement last week;
That the War Labor Board
be expanded into a wage control
board. handling not only the
cases for the unions that come
before II now. but administering
AN affirmative national wage
policy, designed 10 hold wages
down.
2 That a new economic con-
troll board over wages and prices
be formed 10 act i'm a purely top
pohCy-maklng capacity. II would
be made up of Price Admins
traitor Leon Henderson. Man
powercr Paul McNutt, War La
Dor Board Chairman Davis,
Donald Nelson Of WPB. Agricul-
ture Secretary Wickard and
Chairman Eccles of Federal Re-
serve.
THIS second alternative looked
Il TO every one like the one Mr..
Roosevelt would adopt as the
basis of a new wage price Stabi-
liZation policy. II he built up
WLB and left Henderson TO con-
tlnue as now, the Encouragement
would preserve the worst exist
ing features of conflict between
the two organizations.
But even If he took the second
plan and built a new coalition
board TO threSh out both wage
and price policy, he would have
to lay down the policy himself.
because those six men could
hardly be expected to agree on
one themselves.
He would have TO effect a COM
promise among Henderson, Davis
and Wickard for instance; and
their super-board would merely
direct existing administrative
bureaus TO change and conform.
Attorney General Blddle IS
supposed 10 have told the PreSl-
dent he can do this without CO.
ing TO Congress for legislation
and opening the matter to de-
bate.
JUDGE ROSENMAN also has
- been searching quietly for
solution of another SUBJECTIVE
establishment of conference IN
the production effort between
Mr.. Nelson, the army, navy and
others.
In this case also Rosenman Is
supposed To have recommended
a super-board, composed of the
heads of all the agencies in
volved. in order TO end the diff
ferences between them.
An announcement from the
White House on both these mat
tiers was expected last week, but
failed to appear. The suppose
ton prevalent on the outside is
that the President decided 10
wait until political campaigns in
various states were over. before
out with such powerful
reorganizatiOnS.

MOSCOW, August 22.-L. v.
Sumtzov, commander OF one of the
Soviet planes that raided Warsaw
Thursday night, reported today that
the attack so surprised the Germans
that they did not use anti-aircraft
guns or searchlights, and the city
was not even blacked out when the
first planes appeared.
In an interview in Pravda, Com
munist party paper, he said the ini-
tlal bombs started big fires in the
northern side of the city where there
were warehouses, and that the fol-
lowing pilots were able to see many
blocks clearly in the glare.
The Warsaw raiders also attacked
the new Praga railway junction on
the Vista River. where there was a
warehouse for artillery shells, and
there, too, they met no ground re-
sistance, the flyer said.

Make Charge
By the Associated Press.

ny tpe Associated Press.
The White House has been
cleared of charges that it was a
source of advance information
about Tuesdays surprise"
blackout, Stephen Early, presi-
Dental secretary, said today on
the basis of investigation made
by the Secret Service and Will
liam j. Mileham, chief AFRAID
warden of the District, who made
the original charges.
Mr. Mileham this morning brought
letter to Mr. Early at the White
House, in which he said that he had
been ill advised" to accuse the
White House. Mr. Early disclosed
that previously Chief Mileham had
furnished him with the names OF
three deputy wardens as the sources
OF the charges against the White
House.
Mr.. Early said the three men
fatty denied, when interviewed by
I Secret Service agents, that they at
any time had said to Mr.. Milehsm
or any one else that the White
House was directly responsible for
any advanced leaks"
Informed at Meeting,
One of the three men. Mr.. Early
reported, said he did not speak to
Mr.. Mileham until the day after

SAID that he received the informa-
ton from a meeting of wardens
after the blackout Tuesday night.
Mr.. Milehams letter to Mr.. Early
said in part:
The only inference I can draw
is that the reports to me have not
been substantial ted and hence my
remarks were ill-advised.
Il appreciate the fair and cour-
teous manner in which I have been
received by you (Mr, Early and your
representatives.
Il would like to commend Mr.
John J. McGrath, supervising agent
of the Secret Service, for his thor
oughness and for his very earnest
desire to investigate every possible
channel of information by which the
report reached me-"
No Definite Information.
Mr. Mileham remarked in his let
ter that he had placed no stress or
the White House when he made his
accusations, but had only listed i
among several other agencies which
he had been advised, were thu
sources of premature revelations
that took the surprise out of the
surprise blackout.
Mr. Mileham reported he had in.
vestigated every possible channe
of information" Remarking on hi.
and the Secret Service inquiries. the
chief warden added:

formation regarding the origin o1
the report could be determined"

Retains Control
Over Production
WPB Chiefs Report
Is Pessimistic on
Plane Program

ton increased rs per cent; naval
ship production ~ per cent, and
merchant ship tonnage s per cent.

mistic regarding combat plane pro-

pectation. For the next few months,
Mr.. Nelson said, aircraft production
is not expected to reach goals set
earlier in the year. due largely ito
the dimculty Of balancing so vast a
program"

flicts between the War Production
Board and the armed services, In
which the military has been de-
scribed as gradually taking control
OF production. Mr.. Nelson said:
There are MISUNDERSTANDING
about things that are going on and
have been going on. / want to

facturers, and Grover Looming, plane
designer now a member OF WPB's

Power Not Usurped.
Mr.. Nelson emphatically denied
the armed services had usurped or
had been given any of his powers
in priority and materials require
ment matters, or that there had
been major conflicts between WPB
and the services.
THE Army and Navy are work
ing for me as far as production is
concerned" Mr.. Nelson said.
Both in his printed report and
verbally at the conference Mr.. Mel
son emphasized that the big job
ahead of us right now is to balance
the war production program 10
make sure that materials and IA
cilities are used as wisely as pos
sible, that urgent things will come
first.
Every project we have he said,
lis being re-rated in accordance
with the terms of an absolute war
economy. This has been going on
/ for months. We are going to see
that our boys overseas get what they
need We will produce so as to OBJ
tain the maximum impact on the
enemy"

will be obtained by setting our
goals as high as they can be set and
