SPLIT DEVELOPS
A split developed in the ranks
OF foes OF Wallace, with the re-
suit that the exact charaCtcr of
the battle was undetermined.
One group wanted 10 pass the
divorce bill and then confirm Wal
lace as secretary Of commerce.
In this post he would supervise
the "old line divisions such as the
bureau OF foreign and domestic
commerce and civil aeronautlcs--
Another group wanted 10 meet
the issue head-on--to defeat Wal
lace for confirmation for both the
commerce post and supervision of
lending agencies.
Senator Chandler CD Of Ken
lucky. who has declined 10 reveal
his position, said that the course
Of the fight is up in the air,
WORD was received that the
House would not pass the
George bill, that II Is against
It," ne said, This may mean q
strniRht-out fight on Waiiace's
nomination.
"On the basis of what / hear,
I don't think he could be con-
firmed.
PEPPER DISAPPOINTED
Senator Pepper (D) of Florida,
aZWallaee- -hacker.-was- -dtsap-
pointed by the committee attitude.
'Tt seems that q ma iority OF
the committee wants TO report
out the George BILL" he said.
Pepper said he was not sure OF
the situation In the Senate, adding
that the Wallace supporters had
not made a close check.
A leading Wallace foe said that
only three Republicans have said
they would support the nominee.
They are Senators LANCER OF
North Dakota; Eall of Minnesota,
and Aiken OF Vermont,
The same source reported that
two or three other Republicans
might support him, but that ia
to Is Democrats would oppose
him.
CLAIMS 4s VOTES
Already, he said, there are 4s
sure votes against Wallace.
Senator Taft (R) Of Ohio eX-
pressed opposition TO the plan OF
some to divorce the lending
agencies and then confirm Wal
lace.
"pd like TO see the bill passed,
but I do not see any reason 10
hold up the nomination" he
said. 81 think we should vote
on It." Senator Thomas tR Of
Iado said.
There Is a strong sentiment
just 70 meet the issue squarely
and refuse 10 confirm Wallace"
Wallace apparently had failed
to make converts during his more
than four hours Of testimony yes
terday in which he said he would
use the vast lending powers Of
the RFC TO help carry out a full
employment program.
Senators Tydinss and Radcliffe
Maryland Democrats, swung their
support 10 the George bill 10 take

Labor's Demands

The powerful labor lobby already
is busy demanding of congress the
full-employment bill; the bill raising
minimum wages from As to Is cents
an hour; a permanent fair employ
ment practice committee; the Muir
ray Missouri Valley authority meas.
ure and additional valley authorities
on other rivers; the Wagner-Murray
amendments to the social security
act; the bill providing for allotments
and improvements of feeder high
ways; the airport improvement bill
backed by the CAA; the equal pay
bill for women; and national hous-
ing program. It is also urging the
government to indorse the principle
of the guaranteed annual wage.
Agriculture has some 20 bills In
the congressional hopper, but the de-
partment of agriculture will place it's
heaviest backing in favor of the
school lunch bill; the Flanagan bill
to combine farm credit and farm Sc
curity agencies into an independent
agency; the Lucas REA bill, but
minus the Shipstead amendment
which makes REA an independent
agency; the LANCER bill taking the
lid off size of debts which the de-
partment may adjust; the Missouri
Valley authority bill, and the Aiken
food allotment bill similar to the old
food stamp plan measure.
Under present legislation the de-
partment of agriculture is per-
mitted to adjust loans made by the
department in amounts up to ST. 1000.
In the early days of the farm Sc
curity administration many farmers
were over-loaned and during the de-
preston days, there were many
emergency crop and feed loans
made which farmers found they
were unable to manage. The LANCER
bill would take the $1,000 limit off
and permit the department to adj
just loans which in their opinion are
found too burdensome for these
farmers to carry.

Little Guys Big
Appetite Amazes
Army Surgeons Can't Fig
ure What Ais Him.

ATLANTA, GA. - Doctors don't
know what's the matter with Pvt.
Chester j. Salvatore.
Salvatore has big appetite, a gar
gantuan appetite, an appetite that
would appall even an elephant.
A breakfast of 40 eggs, 20 pieces
of toast, several quarts of milk,
eight pieces of bacon, quart of
coffee, and a box-a big box-of
cereal is nothing unusual for the SOL
dier from Southbridge, Mass.
And Salvatore isn't big guy. He's
just 40 pounds and slightly less
than average in height.
He tells friends that he once ate
an 18-pound turkey at one meal
without help. His favorite meat is
pork chops, and he says he's eaten
as many as SO at a meal.
Physicians who have the little guy
with the big appetite under observa-
ton at Fort Mcpherson station hos
pital say his stomach is little Iarg-
er than average, but not much.
They say also it may be that his
craving for food is psychological,
but they are not definite or unani-
nous in the matter.
Salvatore has been in the army
four years and four months. In ci-
william life he likes to work in a gro-
Gerry store or bakery. Once, he
said, he worked for an optical COM
pany and nearly starved to death.

Atomic Bombs Are Called
Cheaper to Use Than TINT

OAK RIDGE, TENN. - Atomic
bombing is cheaper and more eco
nomical than the use of TINT as an
explosive, Col. Kenneth D. Nichols,
district engineer of the Manhattan
Engineer district, said recently at a
press conference.
Figuring the cost of the 1000
bombers it would take to drop a
similar destructive charge, atomic
bombing is cheaper both in costs
and in mems lives" he said. 1.-THE
number of men that atomic bomb
ing enables to stay far behind the
lines must be considered.
He said also that construction is
continuing at Oak Ridge.
But what we have produced
here was done more to help end the
war than is shown in the expendi-
ture of $4,000, 000,0 OO."
Nichols said the safety record for
the Manhattan district was better
than for army engineering con-
struction as whole.

Only Small Slump

Whatever the congress does to
ease the nation into peace
time economy with as little jolt
as possible, leaders here see
months of uncertainty, with at least
some unemployment, some idle fac
tories ahead. They do not expect
downSwing comparable to the de-
preston Of the early 1930s. AS a
matter Of fact, there may be no
more unemployment than there was
in 1888 and 1889 before we entered
the war and the nation became
geared to wartime production. But
whatever happens, there will be la
Dor dislocations during the fall and
winter months which will lower pur-
chasing power and cause consider
able lag in peacetime production.
The first thing President Truman
wants from congress is the power to
reorganize and streanline the gov
ernmental agencies. Immediately
upon his return from Potsdam, the
President sharply reversed the poll
cy of Chairman Krug of the WPB,
who was inclined to let indus
try scramble for itself. So, WPB will
continue to allocate materials and
machines to civilian industries with
the idea of making as many jobs as
possible. The President also wants
action on the full-employment bill,
and on his recommendation for
emergency unemployment, compen-
sation for workers laid off due to
war cut-backs. War orders were cut
overnight about $33. 1000, 1000, 900. more
than one-half the total, / and the
heaviest hit we're the airplane and
ship building Industries. In other
words, war orders, which have been
amounting to approximately $40.
100000 annually. will be reduced to
$4,000, 100000 by january. 1896.
