By the Associated Press.

The War Food Administrator has
announced that the civilian por-
ton of pork, lamb and mutton
slaughtered during the three month
period beginning July / will be
larger than in the current quarter,
but the civilian allotment of beef
and veal will be the same.
The VIA explained yesterday,
however. that these changes in the
quotas were not expected to make
any material change in the total
quantity of meat available to ci-
villains from commercial slaughter
because the total quantity of meat
normally declines during the July
September period.
The VIA set quotas of various
types of meat which commercial
slaughtererS will be permitted to
distribute for civilian consumption
These quotas are based on deliveries
in the corresponding period of 194l.

cent: pork, IS per cent: lamb and
mutton, 80 per cent Quotas for the
current quarter were IS per cent
for beef and veal, IS per cent for
pork and 10 per cent for lamb and
mutton.
The VIA also announced that
any commercial slaughterer who has
not used his full civilian quota dur
ing the current quarter may carry
over for sale in the new quarter
not to exceed per cent of his April
June quota.

Jones and Stettinius
Urge Extension Of
War Profits Act
Would Allow Leuse-lend
And RFC Buying Agencies
To Reneeotiote Contracts
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
Extension of the war contract
renegotiation statute, authorizing
recovery of excessive profits, to the
big buying agencies of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. and to
lease lend purchases was advocated
today by Secretary of Commerce
Jones and Lease-Lend Administra-
tor Edward r. Stettinius. jr.
Their Endorsement of the proposal
to broaden the year-old salute
together with expressions of their
mutual belief that high war profits
must be prevented-was presented
to the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee.
F. ID. r. Won't Object.
From Roy F. Hendrickson, direc-
tor of the Agriculture Departments
Food Distribution Administration
the Nations largest buyer of food
products, came a statement that his
agency would raise no objections
to being brought under the scope of
the act.
He said, however, that the Food
Distribution Administration now "is
purposely operating in a goldfish
bowl, and we think this practice
tends to avoid any outstanding mis-
takes in our buying and price
policies"
Meanwhile. Maurice Karker,
chairman of the War Departments
Price Adjustment Board and the
final witness. reported that the
boards work had resulted in recov-
cry of 1896, 100000 and price reduc-
tions Of sl.2l8,00O000 through May
81. He said that these savings con-
stitute but an infinitesimal part of
what has been and will be saved"
Acknowledges Delays.
He acknowledged that completion
of renegotiations had been SLOW"
but said that factor had developed
from the disposition on the part of
many contractors to delay undertake
ing renegotiation or coming to a
settlement, in the hope that Con-
gress would repeal the statute or
modify 1t so as to exempt the par
ticular contractor involved"
At present the statute covers only
the contracts of the War, Navy and
Treasury Departments. the War
Shipping Administration and the
Maritime Commission. Extension of
its provisions to the RFC would
bring in the Defense Plant Corp,
Defense Supplies Corp, Metals Re-
serve Co. and Rubber Reserve Corp.

Elk Hills Oil Lease
Likened by Warren
To Scandals Of '20s
However, Controller Finds
No Evidence Of Fraud
Or Collision in Deal
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Controller General Warren agreed
with the Justice Department today
that the Elk Hills oil contract be-
tween Standard Oil Co. of California
and the Navy went even beyond
the contracts in the Harding ad-
ministration oil scandals.
Mr.. Warren said, however, as did
the department, that no fraud was
apparent in making the contract,
which has been Cancelled.
Quoting from a report by E. l..
Fisher, assistant general counsel for
the General Accounting Office, Mr..
Warren told the House Public Lands
Committee:
With the exception of fraud and
collusion. and the possibility that
this contract may be good faith
attempt to conserve the oil reserves,
the contract is strikingly similar in
its basic principles to those involved
in the well-known Elk Hills and
Teapot Dome oil scandals, and its
provisions regarding operation of
the Oil lands appear even to be more
extensive"
Contract Held Illegal.
Citing the statute which requires
filing of original contracts with the
GAO, Mr.. Warren said the Elk
Hills contract, executed November
20, 1912, had not been filed until
January II, 1943.
A supplementary contract, dated
last March 3, was filed with his
office March 27, he said.
The contract provided for Joint
exploitation of the Elk Hills oil
reserve by the Navy and the COM
pany. The Justice Department held
1t to be illegal in violating conserva-
ton legislation.
Meanwhile, resolution authoriz-
Ing the Navy to condemn privately
owned properties in the Elk Hills
reserve was submitted to the Lands
Committee by Representative OCon-
nor, Democrat, of Montana.
Requesting early considera ton of
the resolution, Mr.. O'Connor told
the committee that Standard is con-
tinuing to withdraw Government
Oil.
The purpose of this whole trans
action" declared Mr.. O'Connor. lis
to conserve oil. If this is so, isn't it
best for the Government to step in
and take over by condemnation?"
No Improper Conduct"
Abe Fortas, Undersecretary of In
terror, told the committee yesterday
that Secretary of the Interior Ickes
concurs with him in the belief there
was no improper conduct or un-
worthy motives" in the contract
negotiations.
Mr.. Fortas told the committee he
does not believe the Government
should ENTER into an agreement
which assures to any one company
the exclusive rights to purchase.
process and dispose of the products
of this field"
Referring to clause by which the
Navy could take payment in refined
products of the Standard Oil Co. at
Standards current market price, Mr..
Fortas said such an arrangement
would prevent submission of COM
petitive bids by other companies
which, in part, have substantially"
undersold Standard in their prices
on products the Navy needed.
