trial suburb Of Praga.
Today's German communique re-
ported yet another great Russian

The Germans did not further
identify the locale of the offensive,
which might be below East Prussia
or in the Baltic states around Riga,
rather than Finland.
Front dispatches said four Vistula
bridges still were standing. A Red
Fleet reporter asserted:

A -flinding panel report

The report, from the major con-
clusions of which the two industry
members of the six-man panel dis
sented sharply, was made public
last night, eliminating a six-month
study. Under instructions of the
board, the panel was precluded from
making any recommendation on

Board Of ; 10 Hand|'
Sales Of SurpIuses,
'Conierees Decide
Administrator Clayton
Threotens to Resign;
Attacks New PROPOSED
BY the Associated Press.

Congressional conferees on
the surplus property disposal
bill voted today to vest full
policy making and administra-
tive authority in a three-mem-
Der board, to be appointed by
the President.
The action junked a tentative
plan for dual administration of an
estimated 500, 900 ,000. 900 of post
war surplus materials by an admin
istrator and a four-member board
and followed an announcement by
w. L. Clayton, now surplus war
property disposal ofIicer, that he
would not accept appointment as
administrator under that pending
bill.
Mr.. Clayton was named by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to act earlier this
year, pending legislative action on
the disposal problem, and was gen.
orally considered to have the inside
track for appointment to the post on
a permanent basis. Mr.. Clayton
today sharply criticized the "ad-
ministrative workability" of the
surplus property bill on which Sen
ate and House conferees have been
working for several weeks. The bill
convinced him, he said, that the
program was no longer to be con-
Quoted in a business-like manner "
Compromise Is House Idea.
The House delegation voted soiidly
today for a single administrator, but
was blocked by the Senate members
Of the Conference Committee. Their
the House members suggested the
compromise three member board
plan and the Senate acceded.
Both Chairman Manasco of the
House conferees ana Chairman
Thomas of Utah of the Senate group
declared the action was taken with
out reference to Mr.. Clayton's an
nouncement.
Mr.. Manasco stated that the
House compromise had in fact been
prepared Tuesday.
Under this plan each of the three
board members would receive $12, 900
a year, and the President would
designate one Of them chairman.
Senator Thomas said there was
nothing in the revised language
which would prevent the board from
appointing an administrator If they
chose to designate one person to
carry out details of the sales, but
he added that the board would be
fully responsible for all decisions.
Tells Byrnes His Views.
Mr.. Clayton stated his views in a
letter to War Mobilization Director
Byrnes.
Reiterating his opposition to a
four-man board and an administra-
tor with no clear definition of their
respective Jurisdictions" Mr.. Clay
ton said he was informed that the
conferees had tentatively agreed to
report the bill in its present form.
However" he said in a letter to
Mr.. Byrnes, Il am also informed
that at meeting scheduled for to-

to make changes In the bill. What

words indorse the Republican

All the speakers compared the

gardless of their political stand.

The miners president then called
for standing vote on adoption o1
the resolution. Those who stood In
its support far outnumbered the op-
