KALAMAZOO. Sept. 27-Con-
tinuing his attack on the New
Deal Gov. Kelly raped the ad-
ministration today for failure 10
meet the conversion from peace
to war" and charged that it is
equally unprepared in the tran
Sition 10 peace.
He said the nations magnificent
production record was achieved
in spite of the administration and
that President Roosevelt cannot
claim any part of the credit.
QUOTES TRUMAN
Referring 10 the Truman Senate
committee report for 1942-43
Kelly quoted the three basic
weaknesses in the conversion pro-
gram" as stated in the Demo-
cratic vice presidential nominees
own words:
Inadequate overall planning
within government agencies at
the beginning of various pro-
grams and delay In determining
basic policies necessary to carry
out such programs effectively.
Conflicting authority over
and responsibility for various
phases OF the war program re-
sultlng in delays and buck
passing.
CRITICISES SPEECH
"Hesitancy of government TO
adopt unpopular or unpleasant
policies long after the facts
clearly indicated such policies
were necessary"
Without mentioning Roosevelt
by name the governor dismissed
his speech last Saturday night as
political jousting and a talk
about household dogs and political
cats"

3-Judge Court Set Up
In Suit Filed 10 Test.
Renegotiation Act

A three-judge statutory court will
decide on the constitutionality Of
the Renegotiation Act in connection
with a suit brought by the Lincoln
Electric Co. Of Cleveland, in which
the firm seeks an injunction to pre-
vent the Government from withhold
ing moneys allegedly due the COM
pany on contracts.
The three-judge court was set up
late yesterday by Chief Justice D.
Lawrence Groner Of the United
States Court Of Appeals, following
. formal request by Chief Justice
Edward c. Eicher OF District Court
for such q tribunal.
Justice Groner designated himself
and Justice Jennings Bailey Of Dis
trict Court to sit with Justice Eicher
in the case.
The Lincoln Electric Co. filed the
suit In November and in 1t stated
the Government had said it would
withhold moneys from the firm
due on contracts. unless the COM
pany turns over $3,250,000 in exces.
profits for l942.
At the time Of filing, the case
was described as the first court
challenge Of the Renegotiation Act
Of 1912. In general, the act pro-
Wdes for renegotiation Of Govern
ment contracts and for return to
the Government Of profits which the
Government believes to be exces-
sive.
The Lincoln Electric Co. is de-
scribed in the suit as the largest
manufacturer Of electric arc welding
equipment.
