President Truman expressed hope
today that Congress would restore
the entire budget estimate for the
ONCE of War Information, which
the House cut from $35 100000 to
about $18,000,000.
He told his news conference that
in his judgment Owl is doing a
job that needs to be done in the
interest of a Nation still fighting a
war that is far from over. He added
the people should realize the war
Is far from over.
Owls work in the domestic and
foreign field. he declared, is being
done by trained, integrated or
ganization, adding that to abolish
any major functions while the war
continues would be a mistake. He
said it also would be a mistake to
try to reorganize these functions on
a major scale at. this time.
Acting Chairman Mcclellan of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
told a reporter he felt the Senate
should return at least part of the
s17,000,000 House cut, which he
termed "too drastic"

The cost-plus system for farm
production written into pending
OPA extension legislation was
termed bad by President Truman
today.
The Chief Executive expressed
hope at news conference that the
amendment, by Senator Wherry,
Republican, of Nebraska will be
thrown out by the House.
Senator Wherry declared he will
fight to the last ditch" for his
amendment.
He challenged farm officials

adopted Monday by the Senate, was
"a legislative fraud" That criticism
was voiced before the House Bank

Farmers Union. Edward A. ONeal,
American Farm Bureau president,
asserted at the same hearing that
the amendment was unsound, un-
workable and inflationary.
Irregularity Denied.
Senator Wherry called reporters to
his Office to make categorical de-
NAL of criticism, coming from ad-
ministration Senators, to the effect
that he had slipped in his amend

notice.

said. Each Senator could have
spoken 20 minutes on it if he had
desired to. There was nothing ir-

Smaller Nations Seek
Concession on Future
Changes in Vote Plan
Conference Clears Way
For Committee Approval
Of YoItu Formula
By GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Staff CORRESPONDENT.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-
Some of the medium and small
nations at the United Nations
Conference were forming a new
battle line today in their attack
on the Big Five demand for veto
powers in the projected world
peace organization.
Facing defeat in their efforts to
prevent the veto-voting formula
from being written into the United
Nations charter here, leaders of this
fight now are concentrating on de-
mands for liberalization of the
amendment process to improve
chances for changing the voting
formula in the future.
Under present plans of the Big
FiVe-the United States, Great Brit
ain, Russia, China and France
each would be able to veto proposed
future amendments to the charter
Australian Plan Defeated.
The way for conference commit
tee approval of the Yalta voting
formula. which requires unanimous
approval of the Big Five permanent
members of the Security Council
for any council action to preserve
peace, was cleared late last night
by defeat of an Australian amend
ment
This amendment, strongly urged
by Australian Foreign Minister Her
bert V. Evatt and backed by numer-
out other medium and small powers,
would have removed the Big Five
veto from steps to settle interna-
tional disputes peacefully and lin
tied it to use of force. 1t was voted
down, 20 to 10. Fifteen nations alb
stained from voting and five were
absent.
AS the conference drives toward
adjournment next =, week, George
Allen, a former District of Columbia
Commissioner and a friend of Pres
ident Truman, Is here making ar
rangements for the Presidents ap-
pearance at the final session of the
conference.

nations in an effort to wiring con-

AT Security Vote
Before Recess
Ratification Sought
By July IS So U. S.
Will Be First to Act
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Senate leaders have decided to
seek ratification of the San
Francisco security charter before
taxing a summer recess, and
hope to accomplish it by July IS,
1t was reliably learned today.
They had planned to start a recess
July 10, to continue until Labor
Day, but are understood to feel that
by remaining for another week or
SO the world organization charter
could be disposed of. This time
schedule is based on the assumption
that only brief hearings in the
Foreign Relations Committee would
be necessary, in view of the thor.
ough discussion devoted to all de.
tails at San Francisco.
The administration is known to
be anxious to have the United States
become the first great power to give
It's approval to the document on
which the hope of preventing fu-
ture wars will rest.
See Success on Trade Bill,
Meanwhile, administration leaders
were confident today they will sue
ceed by the end of this week in
passing the three-year extension of
the Trade Agreement Act with the
new tariff cutting authority restored.
This optimism is based on indica-
tions that at least four or five Re-
publican Senators will vote to re-
store the provision eliminated by the
Finance Committee, giving the
President discretion to lower tariffs
by so per cent from the 1945 instead
of the 1880 rates, in order to obtain
concessions from other countries to
buy more American goods after the
war.

debate today while the Senate Bank

Will Be Among
Group at PorIey
BY J. A. FOX.

President Truman told his
news conference today that the
results obtained by Harry L.
Hopkins on his just-concluded
mission to Russia have been
completely satisfactory and
gratifying and that he expects
the meeting at Moscow Friday
on the Polish problem to pro-
duce results.
The President also disclosed that
the time and place for Big Three
meeting had been selected as the
result of the Hopkins trip and the
trip of Joseph E. Davies to London,
but said details for the arrange
ments would not be given out.
He did disclose, however, that Mr..
Hopkins, Secretary of State Stet-
tinius, former War Mobilization Di-
rector James F. Byrnes and Admiral
William D. Leahy his chief of staff,
will accompany him.
This was the same group that &C
companied President Roosevelt to
Vic SIlllCd SOIllCl CllSC.
Feels Difficulties Can Be Solved.
Mr.. Truman also expressed the
conviction that we're on the road
to complete settlement of the con-
troversial issue raised by the Rus
slams arrest of 16 Polish under
ground leaders last March-an issue
that Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden of Britain once stated would
halt negotiations for working out
unified Polish government.
The President described the out
growth of Mr.. Hopkins conversa-
tions with the Russian government
as a pleasant yielding by the Rus
slams and said he thought that if
we kept our heads, difficulties with
the Russians would be worked out.
The Chief Executive also said
Russia has been moved to yield on
the Big Five veto issue at San Fran
cisco as the result of Mr.. Hopkins
trip.
He stressed that the Russians are
as anxious to get along with us as we
are with them.
In obvious good humor following
an y-morning conference with
Mr.. Hopkins, Mr.. Davies and Ad-
miral Leahy, Mr.. Truman was greet
ed by large turnout at the news
conference.
At the outset, he explained he had
sent Mr.. Hopkins and Mr.. Davies
abroad because he wanted to obtain
an exchange of views quicker and
better than cable communication
made possible, and that he also had
wanted to get together with the
heads of the British and Russian
governments at a time that would
be convenient to all three.
Results Satisfactory, He Says.
Since Mr.. Hopkins and Mr.. Davies
returned, the President continued,
they have made their reports, and
then he stressed that the results
they obtained have been both salts
factory and gratifying.
Permitting direct quotes, the
President said, THE all-important
thing which confronts us is that the
unity, mutual confidence and re-
spect which resulted in the mill
tary victory should be continued to
make secure a just and durable
