senalors Study Plan
10 Impound Surplus
War Stocks $ Years
~ the Associated Press.

I Declaring that to dump vast
stocks Of 0overnment-owned goods
on postwar markets would retard
industrial reconyersion and might
disrupt the entire civilian economy.
Senator Johnson, Democrat. of Col.
orado has proposed that the Gov
ernment impound billions of dollars
worth Of durable surplus war goods
for five years after the war. to rive
private industry unhindered access
to civilian markets.
In laying the proposal before the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
yesterday, Senator johnson said
that, in general, the "padlockine"
plan would apply to all durable
goods, including wool and cotton
products. but allow the sale of per
ishables' such rs foodstuffs.
Other Points In Bill.
Mr.. johnson gave these as other
main points in his proposed bill.
War plants costing more than 45,-
600 900 could not be sold without
congressional approval, but could be
leased to private operators pending
sale. Smaller plants could be leased
or sold under general rules laid
down by Congress. -,
Machinery and equipment disable
for kx production could be sold
or leay IN the plants ssthemselves,
the "obAlete" machinery to- b..
iunked. The Government would be
barred from operating any plant
itself.
Ships and planes could not be
sold by the Government either to
other countries or to private oper-
ators.
The military group referred the
proposal to q subcommittee which
arranged to open hearings on it
Monday.
THE object of the plan is to speed
Industrial reconversion," Senator
johnson tolds reporters. TT would
mean a loss to the Government to
paddock these goods, but the Gov
ernment would have to take the
same loss anyway if it dumped its
surpluses and demoralized industry"
Jobless Pay Plan Offered.
The committee is meeting today
to act on bill by Senators Murray,
Democrat, of Montana and Truman,
Democrat, Of Missouri which would
set up an office Of war mobilization
and adjustment with wide authority
to supervise the war -to-peace tran
Sition. The measure contains an or
ganized labor supported plan to fix
uniform unemployment compensa-
ton rates for war workers I'D to
$35 weekly-about double the pres
ent average of State compensation
scales. 4.
The Senate, in a routine session,
yesterday agreed to receive the
measure and give 1t the same status
on its calendar as States rights"
unemployment compensation bill by
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia, which the Finance Com
mittee approved Wednesday. The
George bill would leave control OF
rates and standards to the States
but bring 2,000, 600 Federal employees
under the compensation program,
the Federal Government to reim-
burse the States, for their shares.

MOSCOW, Aug. 4-Premier
Stanislaw Mikola iczyk OF the
Polish. government in. exile pre-.
pared today to-open discussions
with the rival Polish Committee
of National Liberation after
conferring with Premier Stain
for two and 4 half hours iAst
night.
The fact the Polish Premier will
discuss matters with the Polish
Committee In Moscow was hated as
q good sign here by foreign mis-
sfons, which continued tofook on the
situation with reserved optimism. 4
Mikolajczyk kept In tench with
the British and American Anibassa- z
dora, reporting on his talk with
Stain and reiterating that Stain
had made deep impression on him.
MikoiAjczyk was said to have been
appreciAtiNe Of the way the Soviet
leader received him and the frank
f,ess with which the conversations
were cafr1ed out.
coinctdent with the discussions,
the. trades union magazine, War
and the Working Glass, declared
that assertions by any one that the
Soviet system would be imposed on
Poland were lies.
1t Is clear now that only ele-
mentS which could form around the
Polish National Committee and con-
tfnue along with it will have any
place in the future" the magazine
added.
No ofiicial statement was issued
after Mikolajczyks talk with Stain.
Mikolajczyk was accompanied to
the Kremlin by his foreign minister
Tadeusz Romer, and Prof. Grabsky,
a Polish boundary expert. Previously
Mikolajczyk and Romer were re-
ceived for half an hour by Soviet
Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav
Molotov. but their discussion was
believed confined to generalities.
The Soviet press expressed the
view, meanwhile, that Gen. Kazi-
mierz Sosnknowski, commander in
chief Of the exiled Polish govern
ment forces, and his intimates were
unacceptable to. the Russians and
that the Polish Committee of Ma
tional Liberation, formed in Russia
was the proper government for the
unifcation Of Poland politically.
