INV Ailah VIZ
Vinson directive was not approx
ed by the secretary of sgricul-
ture. This is technicality, but
in American legal practise, lot
of cases have been thrown out
of court on much flimsier tech
nicalities, so maybe the Vinson
directive is open to question.
The Office of Price Admin
istration, however, maintains
that the technicality is not valid
because after the Price Control
act was passed, the President by
executive order created the War
Food Administration and he
transferred to the war food adj
ministrator many of the powers
of the secretary OF agriculture.
The question then becomes
whether the President can do
this. A curbstone lawyers opin-
ion is that under the various
War Powers acts, he probably
can.
That being So did the war
food administrator give his ap-
proval TO the Vinson directive?
The VIA office has no COM
ment on this question for publ
cation, but the answer seems TO
be that while OPA consulted
VIA, VIA didn't like the or
der, or was afraid of it, and War
Food Administrator Marvin
Jones never gave it his formal
approval. Does that make the
VinSon directive no good?
In trying to get an answer TO
that one, you run into a maze OF
presidential executive orders
which no mere layman can
hope 10 understand In issuing
his beef directive on Oct IS,
Judge Vinson cited as his author
ity for so doing not only the
Price Control act, but executive
orders creating the Office Of

ing il powers over OPA and
VIA, and the Hold the Line"
order. In final showdown,
therefore, the VinSon beef di
receive may be said 10 have been
issued under executive order as
part Of the sterilization pro-
gram. The question then be-
comes which takes pre-
cedence, an act of Congress or a
presidential order issued under
authority granted the President
by Congress?
DOUBTS AND POUTS
The position in which the Vim
son directive has put War Food
Administrator Marvin Jones and
the whole VIA is slightly en-
barrassing. 10 say the least
VIA people and Department Of
Agriculture people have been
awfully scared about trying 20

don't believe il can be admins

To the cattle raisers, the Vim
son directive looks like back

and put over without hearings,
without their approval, TO aid
small slaughterers, but as slick
