4Oqo Of Veterans Need

BY the Associated Press.
. KANSAS CITY, Dec. Tit. Col
Paul Lawrence, veterans adviser OF
the OPA, estimated yesterday that
complete rehabilitation of the
armed forces at the present time
would bring about a shortage OF
100000 living units.
| Addressing the annual meeting OF
national and State officials of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, Col Law
renee quoted figures compiled after
a survey at separation centers
throughout the Nation.
He said two-fifths of the men
being demobilized need homes or
apartments after discharge. One
half of them desired rentals.
The adviser asserted that one
fifth of the men intended to obtain
loans through the "GI Bill OF
Rights" and that one-fourth to one
half of those questioned expect to
pay $50 or less rent monthly.

$4,000, Worth of Goods
BouqhtbyU S. Army From Spqin

Maj. Gen. Robert M. Littleio John,
chief quartermaster of United States
forces in the ETO, said the whole
program was based on military
necessity. He said 1t involved pro-
curement of articles the Army
needed and which could not be
obtained elsewhere in time, or pur-
chases which represented a con-
siderable saving in precious shipping
space, which has been one of the
Army's chief problems throughout
the war.
Z, In certain instances the prices of
articles obtained in Spain and
Portugal were higher than United
States prices on the same things. In
a couple of cases they were twice as
much. Three million Portuguese
handkerchiefs cost 1914 cents each
against the American price of
cents, and 100000 sheets cost $3.50
each against the American price
of $1.31.
But the overall Iberian program
Gen. Littlejohn said, represented q
very substantial saving over what
the cost would have been If the
articles had been bought at home
Some things the Army needed could
not have been purchased in the
United States anyway and purchases
|of fresh fruits, for example, eased
the pressure on canned goods OF
which there has long been domestic
shortage In the United States.

Severance Pay at u. 5

The Office of Economic Stabili-
zation will not approve severance
pay plans f0 war plants which
involve an appreciable increase in

Sterilization Director Davis said
today.
Mr.. Davis made the statement
in announcing denial of severance

after 18 to "a months and four
weeks pay after "a months or

mated the cost of the plan al
$2,210, 900.
Mr.. Davis said, however, that
severance pay agreements "volun-
tarily made by an employer, spend

aged"
He said such plans were "stabiliz-

PARIS, July 27.--With the State
Departments full consent, the
United States Army Is buying from
Franco Spain today approximately
$20, 900 900 worth of goods-ranging
from handkerchiefs to grapefruit
for the use of American troops in
Europe.
Payments have been arranged in
blocked dollars, which means that
the money Spain makes from these
purchases must be spent in the
United States from credits provided
there.
Starting last November, these
transactions, involving more than
$14 500 900 worth of textiles and
S., 900 900 worth of fresh foodStuffs
are part of the United States Army
procurement program now operating
In the neutral countries Of Sweden,
Switzerland and Portugal as well as
Spain. Purchases in Spain amount
to far more than those of all other
neutrals put together.
The governments of Spain and
Portugal. particularly Generalissimo
Frances Falange regime, have been
repeatedly attacked as "Fascism's
last stronghold" in Europe. On the
eve of the Potsdam Conference Mos
COW strongly implied that Franco
must go. The generalissimo busily
has been changing the window dress
ing OF his administration recently
in hopes Of making it more attrac-
tive to the Allies.

Between 200 and 300 names have
been suggested to the department
for consideration, and the Attorney
General told The Star that he ex-
poets to make his recommendations
for the three appointments when
President Truman returns from

7. All armament industries will
be taken from Japan. Raw mate

economy and to permit payment of

8. Occupation will end when
Japan loses her warlike attitude and

A japanese Domei political COM
mentator said the absence of Pre-

that Truman has failed in attempt

He conceded, however, tn a t

persuading Churchill and Stain to
take up the question of joint action
toward East Asia"
Still harping on Allied disunity,
the commentator declared the .oust-

TunneII Says Treaty
.Isn't Needed 10 Fix
.Charter Troop Quota
BorkIey Proposes Night
Session in Hope Of
Voting Tomorrow
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator Tunnel, Democrat, of
Delaware told the Senate today
he is convinced another treaty
should not be necessary to fix
the United States quota OF
armed forces for the United Ma
tions organization.
This, he said, can be done by 6
Joint resolution Of Congress, requir.
ing only q majority vote in bott
Houses, instead of the necessary
two-thirds vote In the Senate t.
ratify treaties.
The Delaware Senator pointed out
that If the agreement with the Sc
curity Council on armed forces was
placed in treaty form, it would have
the effect of raising the Council to
the level of a sovereign state-some
thing not contemplated by the San
Francisco Conference.
Barkley Asks Night Session.
Meanwhile, in an effort to speed
the vote on the Charter, Majority
Leader Barkley proposed that the
Senate remain in session until 7
o'clock tonight and meet at 10 am
tomorrow, in hope of voting not later
than pm.
Senator Barkley said many Sem
atorS were anxious to conclude the
debate and that some of them
wished to start the recess Sunday.
He said that later in the day he
might propose an agreement to vote
on the Charter not later than 5
pm. tomorrow.
Republican Leader White said he
agreed with Senator Barkley be-
cause 'I do not think there is any,
thing new to be said about this
Charter"
But Senator Morse, Republican,
of Oregon interjected:
Il will object to any unanimous
consent agreement to limit debate
on the Charter. This is an open
forum and I intend to see that it
remains SO. I am entirely willing
that the debate shall continue to-
night and to meet early tomorrow
morning."
Senator Barkley said he had sug-
gested no limitation of debate, but
that he Apped the Senate could con-
clude and vote by S pm. tomorrow.
Seeks to Force OPA Action.
Senator Morse's purpose in oppos-
ing the fixing of time to vote on
the Charter arises from his desire
to get some action by the OPA to
relieve the lamb situation in Oregon
He also has resolution for an over
all investigation of the OPA now
before the Banking and Currency
Committee.
After his exchange with Senator
Barkley, Senator Morse said he in,
tended to do all in his power, even
to delaying action on the Charter,
to force some consideration of his
