Truman Takes Steps
To Speed Action on
Legislative Program

President Truman has as
signed to department and agency
heads specific responsibilities for
following through with Congress
on his legislative program, the
White House disclosed today.
Charles G. Ross, White House
press secretary, said the President
had asked the Government exec
utives to report to him on the 1st
and 18th of each month on the
progress of the phases of the pro-
gram assigned to them. Mr.. Tru-
man called for vigorous and united
action" on his full reconversion
program.
Mr.. Ross said this would not pre-
clude personal intervention by the
President to push any important
project through Congress.
Copies of the reports will 60 to
Reconversion Director Snyder, to
whom Mr.. Truman gave general re-
sponsibility for co-ordinating the
activities of the other agencies.
Mr.. Ross said some of the orig
inal reports already have been re-
ceived.
Letters Mailed October 4.
The assignments of specific re-
sponsibilities were made in letters
sent by Mr.. Truman on October 4 to
the cabinet members and heads of
independent agencies concerned di-
rectly with the various legislative
recommendations made in the
Presidents message to Congress last
month.
Public disclosure Of the letters
today was believed to have been
Spurred by criticism developing in
some quarters to the effect that Mr..
Truman Is not exhibiting sufficient
leadership in pushing action by
Congress on necessary legislative
reforms.
Mr.. Ross said the letters to de-
partment and agency heads were
Identical except for those portions
assigning TO each one his specific
responsibility.
Emphasis on Speed.
The letters emphasized the Pres
ldent's interest in seeing his legis-
latlVe program carried through as
soon as possible, and said this can
be done only by vigorous and united
action" by the agencies concerned.
He asked each of the executives to
prepare necessary studies on the
Speclflc program assigned to him
present the matter to congressional
committees and follow up on prog
ress OF the program in Congress.
To coordinate the whole program.
the President asked the Office of
War Mobilization and Reconversion
and the Budget Bureau to watch its
course and resolve any differences
that might arise among the various
other agencies.

The Okinawa base commander
Brig. Gen. Lawrence Lawson, said
removal of all personnel not needed
for a permanent garrison" there
was imperative" because of lack
of food and shelter. He said some
Of the damaged tents and quonset
huts could be repaired but indi-
Gated that losses of installations
of all kinds had been extremely
heavy.
Gen. Lawson said the islands ap-
pearance was not unlike that i'm
mediately after the Yanks' con-
quest, when virtually every build
ing had been leveled by heavy gun
fire.
Gen. Lawson's use of the phrase
permanent garrison" in pleading
for quick evacuation of troops re-
inforced indications that Ameri-
can military officials hope Okinawa
may become a permanent postwar
base.
Larger Ships Ride Out Typhoon.
The Navy's larger ships in the
Okinawa area rode out the typhoon
by putting to sea and therefore
would be in a position to give quick
relief. Loading and unloading OF
ships, however, will be difficult for
months because of destruction to
harbor installations.
Ashore, there was nothing the
Americans could do to save installa-
tions, although they had known for
a week that typhoon was forming,
Hundreds of tent areas and quonset
hut villages were ripped and
scrapped. Hospital wards were laid
bare.

The Georgia Senator called the

Fears Budget Troubles.
Il think it very unwise to narrow
the base," he continued, because
we may face the necessity of meet
ing troublesome budgetary prob
lens down the road. 1t would be
much easier if we waited until our
expenditures were in better balance
with our revenues"
In addition to wiping out tax COL
lections from the lowest income re-
cipients, the House bill gives all
other individuals a cut of at least
10 per cent, by taking percentage
points from each Surtax bracket.
Those who remain on the individual
tax roll also share in the benefit of
applying the same exemptions to
both the normal and surtax. OF
the total reduction in the bill, 81,
527,000,000 goes to individuals.
The relief for corporations ac-
counts for $1,888, ,000,0 900, resulting
from reduction of the excess profits
levy and a cut of points in the
combined corporation normal and
surtax rates, from a range of Is to
40 per cent, to 21 to 36 per cent.
Other features of the bill are:
Fixes July for the cutting of
excise taxes on many commodities
back to the 1912 level, which will
eliminate $535 900, 900 of revenue in
the last half of 1916.
Auto Use Tax Eliminated.

: the automatic increase to 21a per
cent on each, which was slated to
start January /.
Secretary of the Treasury Vinson
? is expected TO be the first witness at
the Senate hearings at 1920 am.
Monday. The CIO and group of
cooperating organizations protest
ed against the House bill before it
passed, on the ground it gave too
much relief to prosperous corpora
tions and "meager relief" to low
and middle income groups. These
arguments are likely to be renewed
on the Senate side of the Capitol.
The tax-reduction bill is being
speeded through Congress in time to
take effect January l, in the hope
it will stimulate reconversion and
the creation of jobs.

the fatal stabbing of his pal, Mortin

Cook was arrested by State Po-

officers said they did not know until
last night that he was wanted in
Chicago.
Says Pal Was Robber.
In his confession as quoted by
Jailer Eskine, Cook said he and
Stein, whom he referred to as
Harold Gordon" had lived to-
gether while Gordon pulled two
robberies.'
Il had been suspecting something
was wrong about Gordon for several
days." Mr.. Eskine quoted Cook. Il
remember in New York he used to
have Nightmares all the time and
say crazy things.
Then, that night in Chicago, he
told me he wanted me to rob a
jewelry store. He said if I didn't
come in with him he would place

berries on me. said couldn't help

Cook with a hunting knife and a

'let him have everything I had"
THE knife dropped from his
hand and we started struggling. We
were on the floor and he broke away
from me. When he lunged at me

struck. He stopped.

have gotten me-"
The statement said that Cook

u. 5. 10 Requisition
Ration-Free Meat for
Export 10 a Nations
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Civilians will find slightly les
ration-free meat at their butch
er shops during the next few
weeks. ....
That's because the Government i
. stepping back in to require Federal
ly-nspected slaughterers to reserv,
portion of their lower grade OUTPUT
for export sales. The meat thu.
reserved will go to Great Britain
Belgium Holland and France.
The butcher shops supply still
will be sufficient, however, the Agri-
culture Department said in an
nouncing the action yesterday, tc
allow civilians the amount of meat
the Government previously hac
promised them in the last three
months of the year.
Effective Sunday.
The promised supply is about las
pounds person on an annual basis
This compares with last years record
consumption rate of about 15C
pounds, prewar Q935-39) average
Of about 125 pounds, and a wartime
low of lis pounds during the past
summer.
Beginning Sunday, Federally-
inspected slaughterers must set
aside certain portions of their lower
grades of beef veal and mutton to
meet export requirements of be-
tween 500, 100000 and 10000, 900
pounds for the October December
period.
The Government had hoped to OBJ
tain these export supplies in open
competition with civilians and the
armed services. But it now appears
that under the liberalized rationing
program put into effect October l,
slaughterers were moving more
meat into civilian distribution chan
nels than had been allocated ci-
villains.
End of Rationing Delayed.
Food officials expect supplies to
increase enough next month to per-
NIT dropping the set-aside require
ments and to liberalize rationing
still further. However, complete
lifting of rationing by November /
which some unofficial sources have
predicted-now appears out of the
question.
Officials say that an increasing
supply of chickens and turkeys will
more than offset any temporary re-
duction in civilian supplies of beef,
q veal and mutton as result of the
set-aside program.
, These programs were maintained
throughout the war to obtain sup
plies for the armed services and
other war requirements. They were
suspended shortly after VI day.
The Agriculture Department said
meat obtained by the Government
for export to Great Britain, France,
Holland and Belgium will be paid
for by those countries on straight
commercial basis.
