Foreign policy alsc came in f0r
review by Senators Taft, Repub-

publican, Of Minnesota.
Senator Taft, holding in his hand
the text, of the armistice terms
granted Romania by Russia, the
United States and Great Britain
told his colleagues he could not
agree that this country should
approve peace treaty embracing
''any kind Of settlement"
There have been news reports
he said, that Secretary of State Hull
reserved comment on an agreement
transferring Transylvania to Ro-
mania pending study Of the ar
mistice terms.
Il presume the United States has
approved Romania having Transyl-
vania," Senator Taft said, land It
is not encouraging, to hear that
the Secretary of State did not know
about It,"
Senator Shipstead, Republican, of
Minnesota told the Senate that
President Roosevelt's policies had
been "of great importance" in the
rise OF the Axis powers since 1892.
He declared that when Mr.. Roose-
velt campaigned in 1882 ''he came
out emphatically against the League
OF Nations" but that now he saw,
we are expected to rely primaril,
upon the armed forces of a worle
council dominated by the spokesmer

Senator Hatch, Democrat. of New
Mexico quickly challenged Senator

sented ANY statement or implica

Senators Ball, Republican, OF Min
nesota and Burton. Republican. OF
Ohio yesterday indorsed the idea
Of permitting an international peace
organization to use American armed
forces to quell aggression without
awaiting specific congressional sane
ton In each case.
Senator Ball told the Senate de-
bate would slow congressional action
so much that q declaration OF war
or a resolution authorizing use OF
our forces could not be approved in
less than a month.
Without naming them, Senator
Ball asserted that there were three
Senators who could and would stop

know It,"
while Congress debated and other
nations waited for us to act, the
aggressors would move, their con-
quests would be made and the

task OF ousting the conqueror instead
Of stopping his aggression
Senator Burton contended that as

vides only for automatic enforce

whether the WLB should consider
regional board decisions and whether
the board should reconsider its own
decisions.
Telephone workers in Ohio now
are presenting to a special WLB
panel their complaints against spe-
cial llviIlg-cost allowances given to
phone operators transferred out of
town, grievance blamed as the di-
rect cause of the recent Dayton tele-
phone strike, which spread to Wash
ington and Detroit.
The panels findings are expected
finally to come to the National WLB
on appeal as test case for the
transferee operator bonus question.

The Army and Navy journal holds
that British and Russian "preoccu-

says:
Since D day in France greater

Greece and Albania, to protect her
lifeline through the Mediterranean
than in achievement of tht prime

Heavy War Demand
Reported Delaying
Steel Deliveries
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 1l-Stiff re.
sistance encountered by Allied
troops on the western front and
continued pressure for war mate
rials have delayed delivery on cur
rent steel orders, the magazine Steel
said today.
Expansion of war needs is espe-
cially apparent in bars and forging
billets, required for the shell and
heavy artillery program as well as
for materials for heavy trucks and
combat tanks" the trade publication
observed. Renewed demand for
light ammunition is reflected in a
pronounced squirt in needs for
smaller bar sizes"
Washington reports show a 20 pei
cent production increase In the cur
rent rate Of artillery shells during
l945. The War Department plans a
IS per cent increase in artillery am
munition production over that pre-
viously planned for the ensuing year
said Steel.
Ihe magazine reported sheet pro-
duction still tight despite a contin-
ued shift of plate tonnage from strip
to sheared mills. The bar situation,
closely connected with the shell pro-
gram, shows decided stiffening
with increasing pressure likely in
the next few months.
Steelworks operations last week
continued at 96i2 per cent OF
capacity.

AGAIN Asks Freedom

An amended petition for the re-
lease OF Ellis Q. Jones, defendant
TN the sedition case, under habeas
corpus proceedings, was filed in Dis
ltrict Court today by his attorney
James J. Laughlin, on the further
ground that the Los Angeles writer
was denied "a speedy trial" on two
previous indictments brought in the
District. Jones Is held in District
Jail.
The writ of habeas corpus. pre-
viously urged on the contention
that Jones was convicted illegally in
California Of violating Federal and
State sedition laws, came up before
Justice James w. Morris today, but
hearing was postponed.
In the amendment to his petition
Mr.. Laughlin points out that Jones
was indicted here In July. 1912, and
in January, 1943. for alleged con-
spiracy to incite disloyalty in the
armed forces but the Government
has refused to bring these cases to
trial. Trial on the third indictment
on similar charge, on which Jones
and 25 others faced a jury, ended
last week in mistrial owing to the
death of Chief Justice Edward c.
Eicher.
Jones was serving 10 years on the

he felt the operations of REA would
be more successful without Mr.. Stat
terry as chief, but that he sympa-
thized with the officials reluctance
to resign under pressure.
Mr.. Slattery himself called atten-
ton to what he described as White
House efforts to force him out OF
his post as early as July, 1e43. He
said at that time that Secretary
Wickard had recommended his dis
missal to President Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt, at a press
conference last February denied
that he had brought any pressure to
bear on Mr.. Slattery to quit his job.
The President said he knew of the
trouble that had been reported as
going on in REA, but that he had
not seen Mr., Slattery and had sent
him no message for some time pre-
viously.
Mr.. Slattery took over the REA
post in September, 1899, after hav-
ing served for more than a year as
UnderSecretary of the Interior.
While at the Interior Department,
MI. Slattery was principal aide to
Secretary IckeS in determining con-
servation and public power policies.
Mr.. Slattery has spent most of his
life in Washington. He holds de-
grees from Georgetown and George
Washington Universities. He began
his Government career by serving
as secretary to Clifford Pinchot. then
chief OF the Forest Service of the
Interior Department. In 1918 he
became special assistant to Franklin
r. Lane, then Interior Secretary.
He was executive officer and coun-
sci for the National Boulder Dam
Association between 1925 and 1929
and for the next three years served
as counsel to the National Conser-
Vatlon Commission. He left this
post in 1882 to become an assistant
to the Secretary of the Interior.
He was active in the passage of
Federal coal and Oil leasing meas
ures, Federal water power legisla-
ton, Alaska coal acts forestry leg
lslation and the investigation of
naval oil reserves.
Text of Slattery Statement.
The text of Mr.. Slattery's state
ment follows:
The situation within REA has
become indefensible and increas-'
lngly intolerable. Under the law,
as administrator, I was clearly re-
sponslble to Congress and the Pres,
ldent and only. as the law states,
under the general direction and
supervision of the Secretary of
Agriculture.
But Mr.. Wickard. by giving a
deputy administrator coordinate
authority and by exercising direct
powers through this deputy, has
actually by-passed and displaced me
as actual administrator. Without
consulting me, important changes
were made in fiscal MANAGEMENT,
general policy and hiring and firing
OF personnel, and even in the daily
administration of REA.
These actions are illegal and
contrary to the REA Act. They also
Jeopardize the repayment of Gov
loans and are dangerous
to the welfare and permanent sue
cess of REA. I have protested, but
to no avail. I decline further to be
held even nominally responsible for
these illegal acts.
The Presidents order forbids
Federal officials to engage in public
Therefore, I have re-
signed in order to carry this fight
to the public. This is all I have to
say at this time"

Diplomats Wondering.
lfReds Will Recognize
LubIin Committee
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. .s.
Diplomats here ares wondering il
Russia plans to recognize the Soviet
backed Polish Committee as a gov
ernment within a few days.
Inspiring the speculation is Mos
cows complete silence on the Anglo
American flare-up over interven-
tlon in the italian and Greek gov
ernments.
Officials here have little expecta-
tion that Russia would consult with
London or Washington before TAX
ing the recognition move. Main re-
suit Of the British American clash
last week was renewed agreement
to have thorough consultations in
the future before taking any ac-
tlons of mutual interests.
Russia stayed completely out of
the talks following the conflict.
Deep Concern Apparent.
While there is deep concern over
the threat that Russian recognition
of the Lublin Committee would pre-
sent to Allied unity, it is unlikely
that the State Department would
make the same objections over a
failure to inform Washington be-
forehand as it raised to England's s
sudden attack on Italian Count Car
10 Sforza.
Officials here say the situations
are different because all three ma
Jor Allies recognize the Italian gov
ernment and are represented on the
control commission there while Mos
COW does not recognize the exiled
Polish government in London, and
London and Washington have no
dealings with the Soviet backed
rival Polish Committee in Lublin.
The head of the Lublin Committee
now is in Moscow, which gives i'm
petus to the thought that Russia
may announce formal recognition
shortly.
No Reconciliation Move.
The reorganized exiled govern
ment in London has made no ges-
lures toward reconciliation, and it.
is generally felt that the death knell
to possible reconciliation with
Moscow was sounded when former
Premier Stanislaw Mikola jszyk re-
signed.
Thus if the Russians sealed their
relations with the Lublin Commit
tee, the main new difficulties raised
would be slackening in the web of
major Allied relations.
