baruch Holds Hone
Byrnes Soon Will End
Internal Bickerino'
Will Advise OWN Chief
On Problems Raised by
Nations War Production
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Bernard M. Baruch, 72-year-
old head of World War I industry,
said today he assumed" that the
new Office Of War Mobilization
(OWM) will be the last word in
wartime production problems
and will "stop all this Internal
pickering"
NJ Baruch's comment followed an
announcement by James F. Byrnes,
director of the new OWN, that Mr..
Baruch will be an adviser to him.
The White-haired "elder states
man" explained today, however, that
his new job is quite informal. His
office, as usual, will be on a park
bench In the square opposite the
White House when weather permits.
His duties will be mostly to give ad-
vice on specific matters when Mr..
Byrnes asks for it.
I'm fact" he grinned, "it will be
about the same as it has always
been"
Lives Here Part Time.
Wealthy from his pre-World War
I Wall Street business, Mr.. Baruch,
since the present war began, has
maintained a part-time home in a
Washington hotel and consulted
high officials on scores of produc-
ton and economic questions.
He described Mr.. Byrnes as 80
fine man and so old friend that
he commands my best efforts"
Mr.. Baruch added: IF I can do
anything to help the country am
glad to have the opportunity. In
taking on this work I am assuming
that the Office of War Mobiliza ton
Will be effective and that it is to
he the final expression Of the Com
mander in Chief, and therefore it
will not be bypassed or sidetracked,
Justice Byrnes, If not blocked, will
improve things by more clearly de-
flning the work of each admins
traitor and stopping all this informal
pickering which has hurt the war
effort and confused the public
Silent on Plans.
Mr.. Baruch declined to discuss
specific projects that he might have
in mind, but he is we'll known for
his advocacy Of stripping down the
wartime civilian economy to the
barest essentials If necessary to in
crease production.
Under such a program, simplifi-
cation of consumer goods might be
| carried to an extreme which would
abolish all styles and fashions and
. concentrate all civilian production
on single type of shirt, suit, dress
or other item.

President Higinio Morinigo OF
Paraguay today pledged to the
American Congress the adher-
ence Of his republic to the United
States.
Speaking to the Senate and the
House separately, in Spanish, Gen.
Morinigo declared the present war
to be the greatest tragedy which
the Imagination has conceived and
which history has recorded in all
time"
Paraguay has kept and will con-
tinue to keep faithfully and honor
ably all her international pledges. -
the visiting chief of state said. He
was vigorously applauded in both
chambers. He had been greeted at
the Capitol by Vice President Wal
lace and the chairmen of both the
Senate and House Foreign Relations
Committees.
Lauds Democratic System.
There is no doubt that the demo-
cratic system, as political and So
cial organization. is the only one
which conforms with mans nature ~
said President Morinigo. But it
also is true that any system or body
or doctrine can and must be modi-
fed in the light of truth without re-
| moving, of course, the bases OF the
judicial structure so that it may not
err by trying to operate in a vac
uum.'
Stressing Pan-Amercian co-opera-
ton, Gen. Morinigo said its aim is
'the formation of a world better
than the present one on the basis
of respect for the principles of
ethics and law and Of the practice
Of true fraternity. as principles
essential to a democracy"
Gen. Morinigo was welcomed to
the special meeting Of the Govern
ing Board of the Pan American
Union by Secretary of State Hull as
good neighbor."
No Problems Foreseen.
"Your country" said Secretary
Hull. who is chairman Of the Gov
erning Board of the union. has
amply demonstrated its willingness
to contribute fully toward the de-
velopment of the uniformity of pol
icy in inter- American affairs, which
Is indispensable to the security OF
the Americas.
The promptness with which your
excellency's government put into
effect the resolution Of the Rio de
Janeiro meeting of Ministers OF
Foreign Affairs. recommending sew.
erance Of relations with the ag.
gressor nations" continued Mr.
Hull. demonstrates once more how
deeply conscious the people o1
Paraguay are Of the danger to al
American nations of aggression
against any one of them"
No special problems are involved
in the visit of President Morinigc
to the United States, Secretary Hull
said earlier today at his press con-
ference, with the exception of a full
and free interchange Of information
and views on war conditions. II
should be helpful to talk over all

BULLETIN.

0A~A~A<
Senator McNary, Republic
can, OF Oregon blocked at
least temporarily today the
intention of the Senate Bank
ing Committee to recommit
legislation to prohibit subsidy
payments on rollbacks of food
prices. Although committee
members had voted to recall
the bill, unanimous consent Of
the Senate was needed to
carry this through. Senator
McNary refused to agree, ex-
pressing satisfaction with the
bill as it stands.
Earlier Story on Page A-1)
By the Associated Press.
The Senate Banking Commit
tee today recalled previously ap-
proved legislation to prohibit
subsidy payments in rolling back
food prices with the. intention,
members said, of tightening the
limitations.
The committees action came in a
closed session after re-examination
of Richard Gilbert, economic adviser
to the Office of Price Administration
on the agency's purpose in pushing
back the retail prices of meats and
butter and eventually coffee and
fresh vegetables.
The legislation, which the COM
mittee approved June 4. would ex-
tend the life of the Commody Credit
Corp. for two more years and in
crease its borrowing power by
81 100000. The provision to be
re-eXamined, however, was COM
mittee amendment to restrict use of
the funds to pay subsidies to pro-
in the rollback program.
Acting Chairman Bankhead of the
Senate committee, who has expressed
opposition to subsidy payments
solely for the benefit of the con-
sumner, explained that some COM
rittee members considered the anti
subsidy provisions too limited
Other members expressed belief
the committee would write a general
prohibition against subsidy pay
ments In price rollbacks or limit the
amount of the subsidy any agency
might pay.
Meantime, the authoritative
source who refused to be quoted by
name said the OPA rollback on
fresh vegetables, which will not
carry subsidy. would amount to
from Is to 40 per cent and in some
cases more.
