May Be Decided in
House Ballot Today
Conferees Reject Senate
Grant Of $500, 600 to
Presidents Agency

The House may settle today the
fate Of the Presidents National Re-
sources Planning Board, continued
existence of which has aroused q
controversy between the two
branches Of Congress.
The House voted earlier in the
session to leave the planning board
without funds after July /. but the
Senate gave the agency a skeleton
fund of 100000, out of a budget
estimate of 81 ,4OO, 900, in the $2,62l,-
00O,0 independent oti1ces bill.
When the conferees met yesterday
the House members refused to ac-
cept the planning board amend
ment, which sends the issue back
to that branch for another test
ballot. The House conferees also
will ask that branch for instruc-
tions on a Senate cut of $205 900 in
Budget Bureau expenses.
The conferees agreed, however, on
Senate restoration Of enough money
to enable the Home Owners Loan
Corp. to continue gradual sale of
its mortgages next year. The House
had cut administrative expenses
with view to forcing liquidation
next year. In restoring the fund
the Senate accepted an amendment
by Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia calling for submission to Con-
gress of a definite liquidation pro-
gram. The conferees fixed February
as the time for submission of this

Some Justice Department
Findings, However
BY the Associated Press.

oy IiiC AoSoSicbcu FTcSS.
President Roosevelt said yesterday
he had not received a report from
the Justice Department on the Navy
Departments Standard Oil Co. of
California contract concerning the
Elk Hills (Calif) naval petroleum
reserve.
1t was learned, however, that the
department has submitted some
findings to James F.. Byrnes, director
of the Office of War Mobilization.
Representative Elliott, Democrat,
of California, in whose district Elk
Hills is located, told reporters he had
requested the House Public Lands
Committee to send a delegation to
California to learn first-hand of
conditions surrounding the contract.
Agreement on the contract was
reached last November, but money
to carry it out was recently deleted
from Navy appropriations bill.
Senator LANCER, Republican, of
North Dakota, criticized the agree
ment as an oil give away" and
Navy spokesman defended it as a
good deal for the Government.
Attorney General Biddle an
nounced last week that the Navy
had asked doletion of the fund from
its appropriation. Mr.. Biddle ex-
planned tnat Mr.. Roosevelt had
ordered a study Of the legality of
the agreement.
Representative Sheppard, Demo-
crat, of California, chairman of the
House Appropriations Subcommittee
which deleted the $2,9OO,OOO provi-
sion for carrying out terms of the
contract. said he felt the contract
established a 'co-working arrange
ment between private company
and a Government agency which
might set questionable precedent"
The contract called for conveyance
to the Navy of title to land owned
by Standard in the reserve.
Other provisions of the contract
were:

Cleanup Pledged
By Brown as Byrnes
Presses for Action
Food, Personnel Seen
Mojor Problems Foeing
Price Administrator
BY the Associated Press.

oy tne hscoSitsou
Price Administrator Brown
squared his jaw today and an
nounced he was setting out "to clean
up the mess people think OPA is in"
His chief problems are personnel
and food prices. The personnel ques-
tion he hoped to iron out in about
a week. The food question, laden
with the political and economic
dynamite of such things as subsi-
dies, margins, chain versus inde-
pendent competition, may take a
while longer.
Back from a Today vacation in
Michigan, where he went to think
through all the controversy that
surrounds the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, Mr.. Brown declined,
in brief interview. to foreshadow
specific actions. But he made it
plain he had made up his mind
about certain things.
Byrnes Wants Action.
One of his first actions on return
ing to Washington yesterday was to
call on James F. Byrnes, director OF
war mobilization-apparently to dis
cuss his plans. Mr.. Byrnes has been
reported pressing Mr.. Brown for
action.
One of the personnel questions
confronting Mr.. Brown is what to do
about Lou R. Mayon, Detroit ad-
ticin xrrloo
to be Mr.. Browns information
deputy, but became involved in
series of disputes with other OPA
officials, whom he described as pro
fessorS," and ended up demanding
the powers of general manager so
that he could purge the agency of
theorists.
Mr.. Maxon also has been absent
for couple of weeks, but is ex-
pected back today. Mr. Brown in
dicated that Mr.. Maxon was return
ing in his old capacity as information
deputy for at least a week.
AS for the food question, Mr..
Brown declared failure to solve it
would mean "a major defeat on the
whole stabilization program"
Mr.. Brown, President Roosevelt,
Mr.. Byrnes and Fred NJ Vinson,
director of economic stabilization.
all have declared for Government
subsidies to control food costs. Mr..
Brown has gone further and ar
ranged with the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. to subsidize butter
(began last week. meat next week.
and coffee (soon).
Wholesalers, Retailers Complain.
This has brought a barrage of
congressional criticism, and Mr..
Brown-who left a Senate seat less
than six months ago-conceded he
had several weeks work cut out for
him to mollify his former colleagues.
Whether the campaign will be mere
ly to justify the present subsidies
or to get approval for $4,000. 900 900
program such as labor is asking, he
did not say.
There are lot of other food ques-
tions. Many wholesalers and re-
tailers are complaining that OPA
fixes prices too low and does not
provide enough margin for costs of
handling and profits. Independent
retailers are complaining that OPA
is hurting them by advertising lower
maximum prices for chain stores.
Farmers want no interference from
Washington on grower prices.
Mr.. Brown has a conference on
with the food industry now at which
efforts are being made to iron out
at least some of the technical ques-
tionS.

around 100000 men. Is almost
!. isolated and has little appar-
ent chance Of falling back on
Rostov. now that the Russians
have cut the last railroad line
leading TO the Don city.
The Russian capture OF ku-

south of Rostov. makes It
possible for the Russians 10
Drive 10 the arm Of the Sea Of
Azov below Rostov and block

Germans in the narrow corner
of the northwestern Caucasus.
THE GERMAN position
then would be desperate. The
only hope Of escape would be
across the Strait Of Kerch
into the Crimea. The strait Is
narrower than the English
Channel, but presents diff
cult problem in overwater
evacuation.
1t is extremely doubtful If
the Germans have shipping
facilities in the Crimea even
remotely approaching what
the British had at Dunkirk.
The Russian Black Sea fleet
still In intact and is lying in
walt.
Then there is a considerable
Russian air force based at
Tuapse. The Germans may
even find a successful Dun
kirk impossible.
North of Rostov, from
above Kursk to the region of
Voroshilovgrad, the German
lines are cracking at vital
points. The Russians have cut
the Moscow.Kharkov Railroad
30 miles above Khsrkov.
- They are closing in on this
German stronghold from
north and south, having taken
the railroad junction of Ku-
pyansk, 65 miles southeast of
Kharkov. Military eensidera-
tions should impel the Ger
mans to fall back toward
Kiev before the Russian trap
closes.
! However, just as Hitler sac
rificed hundreds Of thousands
of men in a suicidal stand at
;stalingrad. II is possible he
may order his generals to
fight TO the last man. In that
case. a situation similar to
that at Stalingrad may be in
the making In the Kharkov-
Kursk area.
There is evidence Of panic
In Berlin over the plight OF
the German armies. Stalingrad
was a cruel blow and called
for national mourning, but the
German people are being pre-.
pared by radio for further
bad news.
There is a note Of despera.
