price law, higher production costs
must be passed on to consumers.

BY the Associated Pres,

Morris Werner, chief of the COM
plance division of the Civilian Pro-
duction Administration, said today
that widespread withholding OF
clothing and other goods from the
market until July is inevitable
because of uncertainty about price
control legislation.
Mr.. Werner made this statement
in an interview as the Senate pre-
pared to open debate on bill to
extend OPA one year beyond June
80, but with sharply trimmed au-
thority over prices.
simultaneously, an OPA oficia
who asked anonymity. disclosed that
Price Administrator Paul Porter has
ordered halt to removal of price
controls on any major commodities
until Congress has taken final action
on the OPA bill.
This official said Mr.. Porter be-
lieves it would be unwise to lift CELL
ings on any important item before
Congress decides what the Govern
ment's price policy is going to be.
Lifting of Controls Delayed.
Specifically. the official said, this
will delay elimination of controls on
crude oil, gasoline and other petro-
leum products, as we'll as on many
industrial machinery items. He
added that OPA had planned re-
moval of petroleum ceilings by
this time
Coinciding with Mr. Verner's pre-
diction with respect to withholding,
a textile industry official formerly
on CPA's staff told reporter
privately:
Let's not kid ourselves. Of
course, there is going to be with
holding Of clothing when the whole
industry knows that prices may be
going up next month. What else
could be expected?"

BY the kssoeioted Press

Accusations that the Army is gov
erned by seniority and classmates
control" were made today before
the Senate Military Committee by
veterans of the seth (Texas) Di-
vision protesting a promotion for
Gen. Mark Clark.
Declaring that Gen Clark through
out the Italian campaign had DEM
onstrated his "unfitness" for the
permanent rank Of major general,
to which he has been nominated
by President Truman, Miller Aims
worth OF Luling, Tex, president of
the 36th Division Association, cited
specifically the roles played by Gen.
Clark In the Salerno invasion and
Rapido River attack.
Mr.. Ainsworth, who was a 36th
Division colonel. said the Rapido
assault had been ordered by Gen.
Clark contrary to the advice of
subordinate officers, and added:
I'm fighting the nomination of
Mark Clark we are fighting not the
individual alone but also a powerful
military system in which efficiency
and capability are discarded for
seniority and classmates control.
Confirmation of SO Delayed.
THAT is not the kind of Army
we must have. A first step toward
correcting these evils should be the
denial of confirmation
The nomination of Gen. Clark is
one of SO officers of general rank
whose confirmation has been held up
several months because of the re-
quest of the seth veterans to protest
the elevation of the former COM
mander of American forces in Italy.
Gen. Clark now is stationed in Eu-
rope with the temporary rank of a
full general. His permanent rank
is brigadier general.
In my estimation" said Mr.. Aims
worth, "a good yardstick for meas
urlng the bigness of a man would
be on the way that he treats his
juniors and is respected by his jun
iors and I still have my first time
to have any junior officer or en-
listed man in the 36th Division say
kind word about Mark Clark
Showed Contempt of Guard.
He suppressed news of the
achievements of the division, gave
it no credit whatsoever at the time
the operations were going on, and
in every way that I know possible
showed his contempt and lack of
confidence in the National Guard.
He arbitrarily relieved three
colonies and gave no reason
for 1t, and I understood it was over
the protest of the division COM
mander. AS far as 1 can interpret
his actions. he had policy of re-
lieving a National Guard man who
had attained the grade of lieutenant
coloner or higher, regardless of
knowledge and proven ability
Mr.. Ainsworth read to the COM
mittee excerpts from a resolution
adopted by the 36th Division Asso-
citation concerning the Rapido River
attack, which cost the division 1900
casualties.
