Indianapolis, Jan. 24 = The first post-election meeting of the Re- publican National Committee made one thing very clear: Chairman Herbert Brownell did not become a figure-head when his friend and sponsor, Governor Thomas E. Dewey was defeated by President Roose- welt.
 Brownell is by no means a na- tional party "boss" but for the mo- ment, at least, he has the support of a large enough majority of the com- mittee so that he can try to revital- ize the COP in his own way. That became apparent as a number of members, who had ideas either in conflict with Brownells or that went beyond his, found it advisable not even to take their grievances out of

 There were, for example, the friends of John w. Bricker, who think they might get the Presi- dantial nomination for him in 1943. They did quite a bit of talking about making sure that Brownell should not use the chairmanship to hold open a door for Governor Dewey. When the meeting was ill session not one of them said word.
 Supporters of former Governor Stassen of Minnesota went little further. Former Senator Arthur E, Nelson, present on a proxy, raised a question about BroWnell,s aVailabil- ity and demanded a chairman from the middle west, who would be "as pure as Caesars wife" His Vehe- ment talk was received with frigidity by the members.

Waterbury housewives are in the micst of another widespread hunt for meat, but wholesalers give little hope for an early bagging. The meat shortage was described today as the most severe since the outbreak of wal, and ration coupons have be- gun to have little meaning.
 Prospective purchasers armed with enough coupons for a fancy beef roast have been turned away from counters which in some cases con- tained nothing more than sausage or cold cuts.

Patton Purge Nozis
Returns to BoVorio After Conference With Eisenhower

Frankfurt, Germany, Sept. 29.- CUP)-Gen. George s. Patton left for his headquarters in Bavaria to- day and on his arrival probably will begin an immediate purge of all Nazis remaining in municipal and industrial offices.
 Patton ,Has believed toshave got ten his final identification orders yesterday during 2 1-2-hour con- ference with Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hover at the supreme commanders headquarters here.
 Eisenhower summoned Patton be- fore him to explain his stewardship in Bavaria, where Patton had ad- mitted retaining some secondary Nazis in office for the sake of effi- ciency. .
 Official Army investigators re- ported that at least 20 Nazis still were holding offices in Patton's oc- cupation zone as of yesterday.
 Eisenhower was believed to have reiterated his previous directive call ing upon all military government of- f1cers to oust Nazi party members from all but laborers' jobs in both the government and private industry regardless of possible ineff1ciency.
 Patton, military governor of Ba- varia, had wanted to return to his headquarters last night, but Eisen- hover was believed to have pre- vailed on him to remain here over- night because of bad weather.

Non-InterUenti0n Policy M Argentine Maintained

Washington, Sept. 29-(UP)-The United States today planned to continue its policy of non-interven- ton in Argentina but to step up its campaign of moral pressure against the Argentine government to get 1t to live up to Its international commitments.
 This co, ntry's position is that the Argentine government has failed to fulfill either its inter-American commitments or those 1t assumed by joining the United Nations.

NotioWide Spending
 

New York, Sept. % (UP) The war and its overtime wages have ended but money is still flowing like wine in the United States.
 A cross country survey showed today that wage ear1ers are spend ing money as fast as they can find things to buy. The ration-spurred boom in luxury items is giving every appearance of becoming habit forming.
 The only marked change in Am ercia's buying habits since V-J day, reports from Miami to Portland, Ore, showed, was tendency for the customer to be just a little bit more chooSy about clothing.
 Otherwise, they are perfectly will ing to buy imported $5 alarm clocks instead of waiting for the $198 domestic product promised for the near future. They still like their canned lobster, Champagne and extensive whisk;es and Caviar doesn't last minute on the deli catessen shelves.
 Boston stores reported that linens of all grades. jewelry and any and all types of electrical appliances are snapped up the minute they make their appearance on the counters. Customers rare:y ask the price. They just want the scarce items.
