Legality Of Using
RFC 10 Subsidize
Food Questioned
MoKeIIor Raises Issue
During Jones' Testimony
Before Byrd Committee
BY J. A. O'LEARY,

The legality of using Reconstruct
ton Finance Corp. funds to pay food
subsidies was questioned by Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat, of Tennessee
today on the ground that Congress
has made no appropriation for that
purpose.
He raised the issue while RFC
Chairman Jones was testifying be-
fore the Byrd Committee at the
opening of an investigation into So
odd ment-controlled CORPORA
tions.
Mr.. Jones pointed out that the
1942 Price Control Act authorizes
RFC to buy and sell or to subsidize
materials designated by the Presi-
dent as critical and strategic.
Illustrate Subsidy Use.
Subsidies in one form or another
have been matter of administra-
ton policy since 1910, first in the
defense program and later in the
war effort" Mr.. Jones testified.
AS an illustration, he said that,
iuC W tllC SuUIlldl lllC WdI1dIe, Ille
Defense Supplies Corp is paying ex-
cess transportation charges, and in
some cases. excess cost on petro-
leum products.
The purchase and resale of idle
tires will result in a loss to the De-
fense Supplies Corp. estimated at
$40 100000, he said. He gave num-
ber of illustrations.
Defending the subsidy program to
cover a 10 per cent rollback in the
retail price of butter and the pro-
posed rollback on meat prices, Mr..
Jones said, "Obviously, if this reduc-
ton were rolled back on the cattle
and the hog raiser and the price of
cattle and hogs were reduced ac-
cordingly, the supply of meat would
be retarded at time when the max
lmum supply is most needed"
Serve War Agencies.
For this reason" Mr.. Jones con-
tinued, the director of economic
stabilization directed that arrange
with an agency of the RFC to pay
subsidies on meat and butter to

Chinese Troops Rout
Five Jap Divisions
In Greatest Victory
Allied Planes Support
RepuIse Of Enemy in
lchunq Section
By the Associated Press.

CHI UNGKING, June l.
Spurred on by Gen. Hseuh Yueh,
"the Little Tiger" and encour-
aged by air support overhead,
Chinese troops were announced
today to have routed five Japa-
nese divisions in a victory hailed
in Free China as the greatest in
six years of war.
The Japanese were thrown back in
disorder and with heavy losses to-
ward 1chang, their Yangtze River
base, the high command said.
Chinese quarters in this pro-
visional capital were elated over the
reports from the Yangtze front
where the enemy divisions, involv-
ing perhaps $4,000 men, were said
to have been trapped in a big en-
circlement."
The Japanese had thrust out from
1chang in a many -pronged threat to
Chungking.
1000 Jap Dead Removed.
Up to May 27 more than 1000
Japanese dead had been removed
from the battlefields, it was report
ed, and the all-front counterattacks
of the last two days were said to
have added thousands more.
Chinese quarters here, predicting
even better news in the next few
days, said the tide was turned
through the brilliant execution of a
Well-conceived and large scale plan
| of campaign on both sides of the
Yangtze, and particularly southwark
of the river.
Gen. Hsueh Yueh. hero of the
three battles in which the japanese
failed to take Changsha, capital of
Human Province, was said to have
ordered his veteran troops on the
North Human front ito die fighting
rather than return humiliated.'
1t was said he told his generals
he did not want to see them again
If they had to return in defeat.

ing enemy.
THE Chinese troops expected to
make further gains" the war bull
letin said.
The advancing Chinese also have
retaken Muchiaochi, Yatsekow,
Tuchinwan and Mantochi in Hupeh
opposite Ichang, while enemy re-
sistance has collapsed at various
points in Human west of Tungting
Lake, the communique said.
The air attack yesterday on the
Ichang airfield was coupled with
| an assault by force of medium
bombers and fighters on enemy Ship
ping and supplies in the YangtZe
near Ichang. All returned safely.
The Allied air torays were a con-
tlnuation of attacks on Ichang car
rled out by Liberator bombers and
! WarhaWk fighters of the 14th United
States Air Force Saturday. War
hawks also dive-bombed enemy con-
centrations in Yochow. east of
Ichang, Friday and Sunday.
The week end attacks on both
YochoW and Ichang were aimed to
great extent at the enemys
Yangtze supply route. Extensive
damage was reported.
GA Domei report broadcast
from Toxic and recorded by the
Associated Press said the bomb
ers which hit Ichang yesterday
were Liberators and Lockheed
HudSonS. The broadcast said
two Allied fighters were shot
down.
(The same account of activities
in the central Chinese battle
area said Japanese planes at
tackled a 700-ton transport and
10 other vessels at a Chinese
river base above Ichang)

ing Office, the same as other Gov
ernment agencies.
Senator Byrd said he was glad to
hear of the agreement because when
Mr.. Warren was before the joint
committee April he testified, ac-
cording to the Senator, that he had
not been able to get the approval
of the RFC to GAO audit.
Mr.. Jones said there has never
been any objection to an audit, but
to the type that should be made of
the agencies like RFC as distin-
guished from regular Government
departments. He said this difference
has been recognized in a bill now
in Congress to define the kind of
audit GAO should make of the
Commodity Credit Corp
Growth of Corporations Hit.
Mr. Jones pointed out that
RFC has in past years called in Ger
titled public accountants of national
reputation, in addition to maintain
ing its own audit division, indepen-
dent of the operating branches.
Senator Byrd contended that the
50-odd federally controlled corpo-
rations now in existence have
grown into a fourth branch of Gov
ernment,' because Congress has no
control over them. When the Sem
ator brought out that the RFC has
ho To 70 of
these corporations as it sees fit,
Mr.. Jones replied:
Congress gave it to us"
Congress sometimes makes mis-
takes" Senator Byrd rejoined, in
sisting that once a corporation is
set up Congress has no way of exer-
cising control over it.
Stress Confidence in Jones.
Il imagine if we misused funds
you should have a good deal of
authority" Mr.. Jones replied.
Senator'S Byrd and McKellar both
emphasized they had the utmost
confidence in Mr.. Jones, explaining
that, in urging GAO audits of the
corporations, they were arguing for
the principle that all Government
activities should be subject to that
office
Mr.. Jones said that. on its nom
war activities, RFC now has a $780,
100000 surplus after providing a re-
serve for losses of Sl25 100000 The
amount of ultimate loss, he said
would be OILY Ia per cent. He

tions, carried out in difficult noun
tain territory, stimulated the Chi
nese troops who, except for a few
rare occasions, have been accus-
toned to fighting without air sup
port and subject to blistering at
tacks from the air.
Simultaneously with the land ad-
vances, Chinese headquarters an
nounced that "a large number" of
Allied heavy bombers, presumably
American, and an escort of Chinese
fighters teamed up yesterday after
noon for the most shattering Joint
air victory ever achieved over the
invaders in China.
The big bombers scattered more
than 10 tons of bombs on the Ichang
Airfleld, destroying many grounded
planes, and on the return trip the
bombers and fighters accounted for
81 enemy :nterceptor planes-23 shot
down and 8 more probably destroyed.
All the Allied planes returned safely.
The special communique said Chi
neSe forces now are besieging
Shangyang, II miles below Ichang,
indicating an advance of about 20
miles since the recapture of Yuyang-
kWan, announced Sunday.
The Chinese launched fierce
counterattacks that day on all
fronts, ranging from Northern

Yangtze gorges above Ichang in

assure meximum production. The
President approved the payment of
those subsidies up to $3.50, 900.
"The RFC subsidiaries act as
service agencies in the war pro-
gram. When the President, the
War Production Board, the War
Department, the Navy Department,
the Maritime Commission, the Pc
troleum Administration for War,
the Board of Economic Warfare, the
rubber director, the director of Eco
nomic Sterilization establishes the
need for plant facilities, materials,
services or supplies for which no
other provision is made, the RFC
through one of its subsidiaries,
when requested to do so by the ap-
propriate war agency, and with my
approval, undertakes to provide
them. In this way it serves those
responsible for war production and
war policies. Neither the RFC nor
I make policies"
Jones Cites Lack of Doubt. =
Senator McKellar first expressed
doubt of the right of RFC to finance
the Board of Economic Warfare,
after Chairman Byrd had asked
Mr.. Jones what law authorized him
to do that. The witness pointed to
the War Powers Act.
About 140 years ago, Mr.. Jones,
we had a convention in this country
and drew up a constitution" Senator
McKellar broke in. "A part of that
document says no money shall be
drawn from the Treasury except in
consequence of appropriations made
by law. We didn't appropriate any
money for the BEW and I'm just
wondering if this transaction is
legal"
Mr.. Jones said the thought never
entered his mind that the War Pow
ers Act did not confer enough au-
thority on the President to direct
the purchase of all needed war ma
terials.
Senator McKellar said that may
be true as to war materials, but that
he doubted whether it would cover
subsidies for milk dealers in New
York or for other handlers of food.
Auditing Arranged.
Earlier Mr.. Jones revealed that
the directors of RFC and Controller
General Lindsay Warren have
agreed on the terms of an amend
ment to the RFC Act to provide for
audits of the RFC books by the Cen
eral Accounting Office.
Senator Byrd had explained that
one OF the purposes of the investi-
cation was to find out why all OF the
corporations the Government has
set up in recent years should not
be subject to the General Account

Reorganize U.S.. Housing
Race Relations Office

ing trend OF this reorganization In
FPHA may be more fully sppre-
cisted in the light of the statements
made by DR.. Robert C. Weaver
ono of the frst race relations ad-
visers in the governmentRin an ar
ticle on The Problem Of Race Re-
lations in Public Administration"
appearing in the, July issue OF OPP
portunity magazine, in which he
said:
Experience to date indicates that
the most effective approach to race
relations in public administration
has been to secure official recogni-
ton OF the problem of minority
groups participation and establish
central Office in which responsibility
for the matter rests. The efficiency
OF such an office depends upon the
support it receives from the admin
istrative head OF the agency, the
authority which is delegated TO it,
and its position in the administra-
tive framework.
Regardless OF what titles may be
evolved, there will have to be some
concentrated attention given to
minorities' participation in federal
programs; there will be need for
persons capable of developing tech
niques for handling problems in the
field. The future will probably find
such persons more fully integrated
into the administrative machinery
OF government. Their responsible
tiles, however, will differ but little
from those which have been per-
formed by certain race relations
officers of the past.
These persons have been largely
technicians The actual develop
ment of policy is, in any federal
agency. determined largely by the
efficacy with which the groups az
fected present their case to the pub
lie. Congress, and administrative
officials The race relations officer
of the past and his successor of
another title have the function of
interpreting these presentations, fit
ting them into the general policy
and procedure OF the agency. and
developing means whereby they
can be most effectively and smooth
ly translated into fact"
The FPHA has moved ahead OF
practically every other government
agency in this direction, including
its parent agency-the National
Housing Agency.
