Senators Begin Inquiry
Into krug's S Plans
For Reconversion
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senate investigators tried to
find out today whether the War
Production Board, now under
new management, is going to
carry out the reconversion pro-
gram started by Donald M. Mel
son.
Acting Chairman J. A. Krug was
invited to appear before the War
Investigating Committee to declare
his intentions on permitting limited
production of civilian and nom
military items now.
MIR. Krug, a former WPB execu-
tive, was named acting chairman by
President Roosevelt after the latter
sent Mr.. Nelson on confidential
mission to China and Executive Vice
Chairman Charles E. Wilson re-
signed.
(Sidney j. Weinberg, vice chair
man Of the WPB, whose resigna-
ton from his dollar-a-year job in
the embattled agency was re-
ported imminent, informed The
Star today that Il am still with
WPB."
CHe declined to say whether
he contemplated leaving the
agency to return to his business
in New York, but promised he
would have something further to
say after he had talked with Mr..
Krug today)
Many members of Congress de-
clared themselves deeply disturbed
by the realignment at WPB and the
effect 1t might have on war produc-
ton and reconversion.
Want Specific Assurances.
Chairman Mead of the war in
vestigators said Mr.. Krug would be
asked whether and how Mr.. Mel
sons reconversion policies would be
continued and added that Congress
intends to see that they are en-
forced.
1t was expected that Mr.. Krug,
who took over last Friday. would
ask time to reacquaint himself with
WPB details before being questioned
extensively.
Congress will give some active
consideration to the matter after
the election, said Chairman George
OF the Senate Postwar Planning
Committee, If WIPE doesn't turn up
with clearer, more positive
policy" by then.
Over the week end, Senator john
son, Democrat, of Colorado, voiced
an opinion that Mr.. Nelson was be-
ing discarded permanently as WPB
chairman. Signs at the agency in
dlcated the former Sears-Roebuck
official would not be around much
after he returns from China.
Case Held Like That Of Wallace,
1T is the regular Roosevelt tech
nique," Senator johnson said. Mel
son Is being ditched-eased out lust
like Henry Wallace was"
Mr.. Wallace failed to gain the
Democratic vice presidential re-
nomination after he came back from
a journey to China.

conversion should pass from con-
troversy to chaos" Senator Vanden-

Spiritual Observance
OF V-Day Urged by
Ministers in Sermons.

Ministers throughout the District
yesterday told their congregations
that V-Day observances should be
one Of spiritual as well as worldly
rejoicing. They also stressed the
need of serious thinking for peace
plans to follow the armistice and
for the role religion will take in the
postwar world.
At the Reformation Lutheran
Church. 2l2 East Capitol street, Dr..
Oscar r. Blackwelder. pastor and
former president OF the Washing
ton Federation of Churches, asserted
that there should be Thanksgiving
for what fearless devotion has
achieved on the field of battle and
the opportunities such victories may
bring for better civilization. I be-
lleve every church should hold serv-
ices Of tha,ksgiving, introspection
and dedics ton when military VIC
tory comes"
The Rev. J. Luther Holcomb,
pastor Of Luther Rice Memorial
Baptist Church, 5315 North Capitol
street, said we must guard against
V-Day being only day Of merri-
ment. We should have the same
spirit OF prayer and veneration for
this day as we had for invasion day.
The church services should be plan
ned to make the individual wor-
shipper a part Of it. The idea that
peace can only be fully attained
through Christ should be the theme
OF those services
Asserting the people of the
Christian churches in America and
Europe are especially concerned" in
the conference taking place at
Dumbarton Oaks, Canon Theodore
o. Wedel told worshipers at WASH
ington Cathedral yesterday that our
great mistake in making the peace
last time was "our sentimental. un-
realistic trust in ideals"
Canon Wedel said this trait
which runs all through modern
thought" of believing that if we
teach ideals they will appear" will
not work between nations. What is
needed, he canon said, Is the use of
force to keep order.
mo social order exists without
law-not even the rule of Gods
love" he said. And law must be
enforced" He emphasized this point
by decularing peace must come
from law and law must rest eventu-
ally upon power"
Speaking at the Ninth Street
Christian Church, Ninth and D
streets NE. Navy Chaplain Clinton
Wunder, administrative assistant In
the Chaplains' Division, Bureau OF
Navy Personnel. declared another
war lis as inevitable as death and
taxes unless this time the victorious
Allied Nations agree on a means
for effective and permanent peace
influenced by an ever alert and
sufncient military force" He urgec
