Is going hungry"
He pointed out that in 1943
food production was expanded 80
per cent over pre-war levels and
in 1914 boosted another 5 per
cent.
And this year farmers them
selves set goals that call for an
even greater acreage. "a report
Of farmers planting intention re-
leased yesterday indicated, how
ever, that this years crop acreage
will be slightly less than last year
and considerably below the goal)

Tended OPA's price policies today

PEARL HARBOR:
Testimony Clashes

Divergence Of testimony over the
war departments receipt Of the
fateful "winds message" disclosing
Japan's decision to wage war
against the U. S. on December 8,
1941, marked the congressional in
CURRY into the Pearl Harbor dis
aster.
Whereas a top secret report Of
the army's Pearl Harbor inquiry
board stated that the navy had in
tercepted and decided the mes
sage four days before the surprise
attack and then transmitted it to
the White House and war and state
departments, affidavits later OBJ
tanned through a special investiga-
ton asserted that the army had
never received the information.
Copies of the message have disap-
peared from navy files, the army
board reported.
Undertaken by the war depart
ment after the army board had fled
its report, the special investigation
was conducted by 1t. Col. Henry c.
Clausen, and disputed other facts
originally presented besides those
pertaining to the winds" message.
In completing one week Of testi-
mony before the congressional
committee, Gen. George c. Mar
shall, ex-army chief Of staff and
President Truman's special envoy
to China, backed up the revised find
ing, denying that he had seen the
December message.

HOME BUILDING:
Seek Speed-Up

Moving to ease the nations strin-
gent housing shortage. President
Truman mapped a broad overall
program calling for the channelling
Of building materials into lower cost
construction, imposition Of price
control on new and old dwellings,,
and emergency use Of wartime gov
eminent shelters for home-seekers.
The President took action as Re-
conversion Director Snyder de-
clared that a million families al
ready are doubling up in existing
homes and the number may con-
tinue to grow as service discharges
mount. With several years Of peak
construction necessary to relieve
the situation, the industry will do
well if it puts up 100000 dwellings
next year, Snyder added.
In exercising its emergency pow
er to route building materials into
lower cost housing to accommo-
date average pocketbooks, the gov
eminent will favor homes under
$4,000, with preference given to
vets. Essential industrial and COM
mercial construction also will be
granted priority under the PLAN.
With housing expected to remain
short for several years despite in
creasing production, the Presidents
proposal for legislation for ceilings
on new and old structures aimed at
keeping prices within reasonable
bounds to head off an infiationary
spiral.
In providing emergency facilities,
including army and navy barracks
and dormitories, for temporary shell
ter in crowded areas, the govern
ment will move the structures wher-
ever necessary. At the same time,
surplus government building mate
rails also will be disposed Of, with
70 per cent earmarked for low cost
housing.
To speed the program, President
Truman named former Mayor VIII
son Wyatt Of Louisville, KY, hous-
ing expediter to work under Snyder.

FARM PRICES FOLLOW WORLD WAR | TREND

After declining from the World
War II peak Of 206 in July to 1877
in September, the price index Of
farm products, as compiled by the
department of agriculture on the
basis Of August, 1909-July, 1914. re-
covered to 205 in November. This
indicates continuation of the World
War / price pattern which has been
closely duplicated since the out
break Of World War II, according to
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1945-12-28

the Alexander Hamilton institute.
The trend of farm prices after
World War ! points to a further
sharp rise in the early postwar pc
riod before prices slump back to a
more normal level. After q tenn
porary weakness at the end Of World
War !, the price index rose from
1879 in February, 1919. to 2S5 in May,
1920. Prospects are defiaticn may
be postponed to 1947.

LABOR:
Congress Reacts

Infiamed by labor unrest retard-
ing reconversioh, congress moved
for passage Of an "anti-violence" act
providing a maximum penalty Of 20
years Imprisonment for forcible in
reference or threats against inter-
state commerce. Labeled as an
anti-racketeering measure, the bill
grew out of protest against the ALL
International Teamster unions col
lection Of funds from independent
truckers entering large cities where
the ITU is strongly organized.
While congress vented its wrath
against the strike wave with the
"anti-violence" act, it cooled to
move more slowly on President
Truman's recommendation for anti
strike legislation calling for crea-
ton Of fact-finding boards empow-
cred to look into both company and
union books to determine merits of
wage disputes.
Holly opposed by labor leaders,
the Presidents proposal has been
half-heartedly received by industry,
with both parties continuing to
favor the least possible restraint
upon their full bargaining advan-
tages in adjusting their differences.
JAW Backs DotUn
Meanwhile, negotiations proceed
ed apace in the automobile in
dustry, where the powerful Go
United Automobile Workers sought
maintenance Of high wartime
wages.
A break in the JAWS de.
mands for a 30 per cent pay
boost came in its dickering with
Ford, with the union announcing
q willingness to compromise ON
its position if the company pro-
posed an annual wage and other
concessions like pensions, re-
tirement compensation and va.
cations.
In an effort to meet Ford In the
negotiations, the JAW also drew up
an unprecedented security clause
against wildcat strikes, agreeing on
the imposition of a So a day fine
against workers found guilty Of an
unauthorized walkout for a first Of
tense, and S. a day for a second.
While the UAW-Ford discussions
progressed, the unions parley with
General Motors Jagged a step be-
hind, with President Truman seek
ing to actively intervene in the dis
pute with the appointment of fact
finding board to help speed settle
ment Of the wage issue. Unlike the
machinery that Mr.. Truman would
have set up in his anti-strike legisla-
ton, however, the GIN. fact-finding
board lacks power to force either
party to turn over its books.
Production off
Crippled by strikes, parts short
ages and labor scarcities, automo-
bile production has fallen far below
previous expectations, with only
about $4,000 cars having been manu-
featured up to mid-December out
of year-end goal of 100000.
OF the Big Three i'm the I'm
dustry, only Ford has achieved
any kind Of volume of output,
having turned out over 25,OOO
vehicles or about half Of the
overall total. GIN. production .
has been retarded by the big
auto strike while Chrysler ac-
tivity has suffered from supply
and labor shortages after q late
reconversiOn start caused by q
cleanup Of government orders.
Packard, Nash, Hudson and Stu
debaker have all fallen far behind
schedule, while Willys-O OVERLAND
production of jeeps has been sty-
mied during the last two months.
