will make as director Of the Once
of War Mobilization. He has ex-
pressed desire to step out of Gov
eminent as soon Is Congress en-
acts legislation to guide the Nation
to peace, and friends say he has not
changed that plan.
In discussing his new report, Mr..
Byrnes told q news conference he
expected Congress to pass the over
all rehabilitation bill within 10 days.
If his previously announced plans
are unchanged, that would be about
the time he will!resign.
Mr.. Byrnes told Senate COM
mittee in June that he had no wish
to head the demobilization ofice.
Since then reports have had him
''irked" and hurt" by alleged ad-
ministration pressure brough on him
at the Democrat convention to

member of Congress from Kentucky
who later served on the United

Vinson in his current job has dealt
frequently with all the Federal
agencies taking part in the de-

Another official often mentioned
for the job Of assistant President"
is Price Administrator Chester

Bowles Pleased Politicians.
He has held flrm on pricing and
rationing and quieted criticism Of
the agency, point pleasing to
Democratic politicians.
Mr.. Bowles a few weeks ago was
praised by the President for the Job
he has done in OPA.
Mr.. Byrnes repeatedly wants to
return to the practice of law in his
home State of South Carolina or
establish a practice in Washington.
Associates would not speculate on
