Several elaborate blueprintS
for Federal postwar planning
have been laid before White
House officials, but indications
now are that President Roosevelt
may spike all of them for in
formal, piecemeal policy-making
done more or less jointly by Gov
ernment, business, labor and ag-
riculture.
The system is in fact, already TAX
ing shape. The President fitted the
newest piece into place Wednesday
| by creating a war advisory council
Of businessmen. This is now widely
interpreted as a frank bid fer close
industry business cooperation with
| the administration during the clos
ing months of the war and in the
postwar area as production shifts
back to peacetime goods.
What probably surprised the
eight business and industrial leaders
most in their initial meeting with
the Chief Executive Wednesday was
his statement that. since Congress
eliminated the National Resources
Planning Board several months ago
he has no overall long-range plan
ming agency and no funds with
which to do such work.
Congressional Trend Cited.
| Congress, Mr.. Roosevelt is reported
/ to have added, often moves by
/ trends, and the present trend ap-
pears unfavorable to basic admin
istration planning,
Consequently, several of the busi-
nessmen came away with the feeling
later expressed, that present Gov
ernment efforts to arrange for re-
turning the country to a peace econ
omy are developing without much
overall ordination, and will con-
tinue to do SO unless the President
and his assistants, already jammed
with immediate problems of the war,
can find time to do the job.
Mr.. Roosevelt gave the business
men a hat full of specific problems
on which ne asked them to advise
One estimate is that there were 18
different problems. The group will
report back to him with specific
proposals on several of the most
urgent of these matters on No
vemDer %.
War Contracts Are Problem.
One of these initial proposals will
be on termination of war contracts
held by approximately 100000 prime
war producers and more than l.
100000 subcontractors. Government
and business agree that speed in
this work is essential once peace is
won. In most instances, termina-
ton payments will furnish the con-
tractors capital for changing to
civilian production.
/ Contract termination is one of
many postwar problems on which
numerous Government Offices are
working. The businessmen also
made it clear to the President that

"installment buying in reverse.
Under the plan people would

it offered any advantages over

it would put soldiers returning to

much merchandise would be con-

Ask FDR TO
Condemn
Tribune SfoSS

NEW YORK, Jan. ~
President Joseph Curran Fe-Ao'@
National Maritime Union (ClO)
called upon President Roosevelt to
denounce the attack on the patriot
ism and courage of merchant sea-
men printed in the Dec. 25 Chicago
Tribune and attributed to an "un-
identified naval officer" The at
tack had previously been condemn
ed by the Chicago Industrial Union
Council.
The Tribune story represents
one of the most disgraceful attacks
that has ever occurred, particularly
since it is aimed at group of men
who have made more sacrifices,
demonstrated more courage and
suffered more hardship than any
other single group of our country
men," Curran wrote the President.
"This scurrilous attack can only
have one origin-the Nazi propa-
ganda mills" Curran said. Its i'm
pact on morale of the thousands
of unionized merchant seamen will
be tremendous unless it is de-
nounced for what it is-an attempt
by Nazi stooges to disrupt and de-
moralize our contribution to the
war effort"
The Tribune article said that
many seamen, members of either
AFL or CIO unions are draft dodg-
ers, definitely are not seamen, tell
their Officers to go to hell" and
come aboard ship mot to work but
to get paid"
More than 5000 merchant sea-
men have been listed as dead or
missing on Navy casualty lists-a
higher proportion of casualties
than in any other branch of service.
Other thousands have been injured,
torpedoed and finally rescued to re-
turn once more to sea, carrying the
goods and arms to U. S. and allied
forces.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 9.-Critics

its enactment into law.
John J. O'Connor, former member

legal steps may be necessary to test

Mr.. O'Connor, who said he did not
know when the action will be taken,
