BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr,

Price Administrator BowleS in

tire and shoe rationing was "ir

absolutely essential" that price
control legislation be extended
beyond next June 80. He also
urged price ceilings be placed or

shoes brings the end of these ration

He added some meat cuts, fats, oils
and sugar were still too scarce for
him to speculate as to when they
can go unrationed.

WASHINGTON Scene
By George Dixon

IT WAS just like old times at
Il the National Theater here
the other night. The place was
jammed with old New Dealers,
applauding madly while the
American businessman was held
up to ridicule and contempt.
The occasion was the premiere
Of a new play by the ex-OWI
public opinion-muddier, Robert
E. Sherwood. And let me say
right now it was the worst tur-
key I ever saw in. my life.
I will admit that I am in no
calm, judicial, frame of mind as
write this. / am indignant.
This Sherwood thing, The
Rugged Path" purports to be
theatrical entertainment. At
any rate they charge you to get
in, and there Is no warning that

ganda along lines laid down by

some way to sue for misrepre-
sentation.
The star of the abomination
was Spencer Tracy. and I have
always admired him as an actor.
But, if some of those lines
didn't make him gag, he is no
better than Sherwood-and I
wouldn't say thing like that
about even Sidney Hillman.

Il reviewers in New York will
rave about the thing when IL

THERE are doubtless other
l. real reasons why the United
States did not care 10 proceed
with the Rio meeting at this
time.
The state department at the
present time is probably more
poorly organized than at any
time for a great many years. 1t
has been subjected to numerous
shakeups. Secretary has fol-
lowed secretary. New and largely
inexperienced men fill the i'm
portant posts. and they have not
yet learned their jobs.
One reason for the frightful
fiasco which has just occurred
at the meeting of the council Of
foreign ministers in London is
the fact that Secretary ByTnes
went there almost wholly un-
prepared.
That was cardinal error. As
pointed out in this place a short
time ago. with Mr.. Byrnes de-
tanned in London longer than he
had expected 10 be there. abso-
lutely no preparation whatever
had been made by the state de-
partment for the conference at
Rio.
The American delegates had
not been named. had not even
been selected.
WE WERE confronted by the
w possibility OF the same sort
OF fiasco at Rio that we courted
rough unpreparedness at
London.
The state department could
not afford to have another
failure chalked up, and so the
Rio conference was called off.
Moreover. the failure of the
heads OF states at London to
reach even the pretense of an
agreement, has precipitated a
situation in foreign relations so
precsrious that Mr.. Byrnes and
the President will have to de-
vote all their time TO IL when
