|Aeronautics Board
Changes May Key
To Truman Politics
BY the Associated Press.

oy the Assoclateu freSs.
| Congress looked today to a pos
sible shake-up of the Civil Aeronau-
tics Board as an indication of how
President Truman intends to play
his politics.
Reports have reached Capitol Hill
that L. WEIGH Rogue is considering
resigning. If he does, the chair
manship may 60 to member Josh
Lee of Oklahoma, former New Deal
Senator. Mr.. Lee was defeated for
reelection in 1912 by Senator
Moore. Republican.
That may be something of a tip
of to Senate Democrats. But Re-
publicans are more interested in a
minority vacancy on the same
board. 1t arose from Vice Chair
man Edward P. Warmers election
as president of the provisional in
ternational aviation organization,
with headquarters in Montreal.
Big COP Question.
The question in Republican minds
is this:
Will Mr.. Truman follow his pre-
decessors lead and fill minority
places on Government boards with
so-called Roosevelt Republicans?
One of these is BARLEY Crum, San
Francisco attorney and vice presi-
dent of the National Lawyers Guild.
Mr.. Crum. who managed Wendell l..
WILKES 1910 campaign. went over
to Mr.. Roosevelt in 1914. He headed
a California independent Repub-
licans for Roosevelt committee"
Moreover, Mr.. Crum had some
critical things to say about the ma
tional organization. He contended
lit had become a "derelict' party by
allowing an isolationist bloc" 10
control it.
Those were fighting words for reg
ular Republicans.
Regulars Want jacobson.
The regulars have put forth Col.
John j. Jacobson of Manchester.
N. H.. as their candidate for the
appointment.
Col. jacobson, an artillery officer,
just back from a tour of duty with
the 9th Army in Europe, is former
chairman of the New Hampshire
Water Resources Board.
When the Senate Minority Steer
ing Committee couldn't make up
its collective mind whether it odght
to horn in with recommendation
on appointments, some Republicans
took matters into their own hands.
Senator Bridges, Republican, OF
New Hampshire, and others went
to see Mr.. Truman They made it
plain that the regular Republicans
who far outweigh the other kind
ip Congressman Col jacobson,
not Mr. Crum.
Mr.. Truman repeatedly said he'd
take it under consideration.

Krug 10 Offer Plan
On Liquidating WPB
To Truman This Week
= the Associated Press,

EE the Associated Press.
War Production Chairman J. A.
Krug plans to present to Presi-
dent Truman this week a pro-
pesal for the liquidation OF the
War Production Board, probably
by November /.
This would be coupled with Mr..
Krug's resignation. The 37-year -oid
agency chief would like to enter
private industry.
If the President agrees to the plan.
WPB's few remaining controls over
American industry would be trans
ferred to the Once of War Mobin-
zatoin and Reconversion headed by
John w. Snyder.
This is the way the plan would
work, according to reliable sources
l. A reconversion bureau to man
age such scarcities as tin, lumber,
rubber and chemicals. and to break
up, any bottlenecks which may
impede the rapid transition of lin
dustry to peace would be set up.
Bureau on Liquidation.
2. A demohhzation bureau, Ito
handle the liquidation OF WPB itself
and to arrange for the shifting oil
WPB's labor units and industry COM
mittees to other Government agen-
cies also would be established.
Perhaps $500 of WPBs workers In
Washington may be taken into Mr.
Snyders office. WPB once employed
$4,000 persons.
Unless some other agency folds up
first, WPB will be the sixth unit in
the giant governmental wartime
structure to cease to exist as an
autonomous agency since the Jap
anese surrender.
Already gone are the OfIices of
Censorship, War Information and
Economic Sterilization. The War
Manpower Commission and the War
Labor Board have been transferred
to the Labor Department.
The principal duties of the Recon-
version Bureau under Mr.. Snyder
probably will be-:
To continue allotting scarce ma
terials until supply balances de-
mand, and to protect continuing
military production with q simpli-
fed priority system.
Hunts Jobs for STAFF.
To expand production of scarce
items, such as low-priced clothing,
by giving manufacturers priority on
materials.
To prevent the over-buying and
boarding of scarce materials by any
companies or groups, through strict
enforcement Of inventory controls.
Mr.. Krug already has organized
a stan to find jobs for discharged
employees. Private industry is tax
ing scores Of technical experts, but
of1icials are not hopeful of placing
more than q third of the Washing
ton staf1 in new jobs before the
agency expires.
Under only two chairmen-Don-
aid M. Nelson until last fall, then
Mr.. Krug-WPB was the key agency
in wiping out civilian manufacture
from several hundred industries and
substituting war work. The scope
Of its efforts ranged from shutting
down the $4,000, ,000, 900 automobile
industry to decreeing styles for
women to save fabric.

County AFL unions have approved
a general holiday" If the trans
portation company fails to accept a
six-point plan to end the 24-day -old
dispute. said Benjamin Weigand,
president of the Central Labor

Hopes to Avert Action.
I'VE want to use the general labor
holiday only as last resort" - Mr.
Wiegand said. I'm going to do all in
my power to avert it. I think that
If only I can get a chance to- sit
down and talk with the company
something can be worked out"
The strike began September
after the company refused to grant
local l,24I. Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street, Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employees of America
(AFL), a new contract which the
company said. would have been
"self-perpetuating' .,
One of the points in dispute is

Repeal of Labor Disputes
Law Appears Possible
e the Associated Press.

&S the aceoCldteu TItee.
Repeal of the Smith Connally War
Labor Disputes Act appeared pos
sible today as an aftermath of CIO
Auto Workers plans for strike votes
by more than 500, 900 members.
The union already has petitioned
the National Labor Relations Board
for vote among $4,000 workers at
96 General Motors plants October
"a. 1t also has announced 1t will
ask for vote among 12o, 900 Chrys-
Ter workers, probably October Is, and
for one to be taken at Ford plants
around November !.
Representative Smith, Democrat
of Virginia. co-sponsor of the labor
disputes act. already has introduced
q repeal measure. It is being studied
by the House Military Affairs Com
mittee, which approved the original
bill two and one-half years ago.
Government reliance on the act tc
prevent or deter strikes practically
vanished last winter from John L
Lewis turned its strike vote provi-
sions to his own advantage.
Mr.. Lewis, In opening negotiations
with bituminous coal operators
filed notice that a dispute existed
among the 100000 soft coal miners
scattered across the continent.
Taking that ballot and later one
among anthracite miners cost the
NLRB about 100000. Scores of
other unions followed Mr.. Lewis
lead and the NLRB was forced to
halt operations temporarily for lack
of funds.
The prospect of still larger vote
among the General Motors, Ford
and Chrysler workers within a
weeks time seemed certain today
to stir congressional action. How
ever, the. act could not be wiped of
the books in time to block the three
strike votes and the attendant ex-
penditure of several hundred thou
sand dollars.
Among reasons for retaining the
act even after Mr.. Lewis seized or
it was its provision permitting the
Government to seize strikebouno
plants during the war. It also gave
legal backing to the War Labor
Board,

Wallace Sees Drop
|0f8 Billion in National
Income by January

Pleading for prompt reconversion
measures and attainment of his
goal OF 10000, 900 jobs, Secretary
of Commerce Wallace has estimated
there will be drop of about $8,000,-
600 900 in the national income dur
ing the second half of this year.
In a statement released last night,
the Secretary said the immediate
curtailment Of purchasing power
would not be serious. He warned,
however, that both business and
Government must cooperate ito
prevent mounting deflation and un-
employment"
He gave the following estimate
Of the present economic and finan-
cial situation:
/. The decline represents in part
the cost of reconversion and In
part the easing of of wartime pres.
sure upon the economy which ne
cessitated drawing workers from
homes and schools into the labo,
force and utilizing. lahobs services
generally over an abfl6rnialiy long
work week"
2. The decline will be largely In
the manufacturing industries
Hand -in-hand with this will be the
drop In military payrolls. Offsetting
these drops to some extent will be
increases In veterans benefits and
unemployment compensation.
3. Although normally the antici-
pated drop would have depressing
effect on retail trade, this will be
counterbalanced by the rush of con-
sumers to buy long-wanted goods
which are now beginning to appear
on the market.
4. On the other hand, expansion
of retail trade to full-employment
level will be delayed as long as in
come and employment are cur
tailed"
