OPA drafted a report to Pre 81
dent Truman today on = eco
nomic consequences" o. the
much-compromised price control
bill.
Tie report presumably is intended
as a signor-veto guide to the Chief
Executive However, one authorita-
tive source said Mr. Truman al
ready has indicated a decision to
approve the measure. reluctantly
After seeing the President this
morning, Senate Majority Leader
Barkley said Mr. Truman had given
no indication whether he intended
to sign or veto the measure. Sena-
tor Barkley said he hoped the Presi-
dent would sign it.
One Of the biggest headaches for
the administration is the likelihood
Of at least another four-week holi-
day from price ceilings on meats,
dairy products, grains. cottonSeed
and soybeans and their food and
feed products
Board Can Override OPA.
Final determination whether these
items shall be brought back under
control August 20 is left to a three
man board with power to overrule
OPA on both de-control and re-
control decisions
This board also will decide wheth-
er ceilings shall be re-imposed on
poultry. eggs, food and feed products
made from them, tobacco and it's
products and petroleum and its
products.
Paul Porter, OPA administrator
told neWsmen we are now working
on an analysis of the bills economic
consequences for submission to Pres
ident Truman" Mr.. Porter would not
say whether he would recommend
another veto
Spence Predicts Signature.
Chairman Spence of the House
Banking Committee, leader in the
administration battle for a strong
.OPA, commented: II don't think il
is a very effective bill, but it is the
best we can do. believe the PreSi-
dent will sign it as the last recourse.
Neither Mr. Spence nor his fellow
kentuckian, Senator Barkley. would
say whether the new bill is better
or worse" than the one Mr.. Tru-
man vetoed three weeks ago.
The House and Senate conferees
who finally agreed on the compro-
mise Saturday night after a five-daS
deadlock, set another meeting fol
today to resolve differences of opin-
ion on just what had been done.
Divided on Control Board.
One moot point is whether the
control board, to be appointed by
the President subject to Senate con-
firmation, has authority to restore
before August 20 any ceilings on
meats, dairy products and grains
Some committee members said yes;
others no.
The compromise measure will &C
to the House and Senate floors to-
morrow for showdown votes on ac-
ceptance. There appeared to be

SCARED by many accidents, the idol
Of automobile racing enthusiasts.
Berna Eli Oldfleld, as he was
christened. was born in Wauseon,
Ohio, January 20, 1878. He went to
Detroit originally as bicycle rider.
Mr.. Oldfield was married four
times. His last marriage was In San
Diego, Calf, December 20, 1925,
when Huda r. Braden Of Beverly
Hills became his wife. He divorced
her in ls45 and remarked his sec
ond wife.
After his retirement in 1918, Mr..
Oldfield headed a tire manufac-
turing company bearing his name.
Later he became connected with q
Detroit investment house and just
before the business crash Of 1928
was estimated to possess a fortune
of around $250,000.
After the crash he became asso-
ciated with a Detroit automobile
manufacturing company, with Billy
Arnold, youthful speed star OF the
race tracks, as his assistant. Strange
ly enough, the veteran daredevil OF
the unbanked dirt tracks was given
the title of highway safety adviser"
his duties being to serve as adviser
on safety features OF automobiles.

Plans for Building
For Army Medical
Library Discussed

Plans for q $4,000, 900 building
near the Library of Congress for the
1,000, ,000-volume Army Medical Lii
brary, the most valuable collection
Of medical literature in the world.
are being discussed at the annual
meeting Of the library's board OF
honorary consultants, which opened
yesterday.
A message Of greeting from Surg.
Gen. Norman T. Kirk opened the
sessions.
The site for the new building has
been selected and 1t was expected
that building operations would get
under way this year, but the neces-
sary appropriation was withheld un-
der President Truman's order freez-
ing all Federal building not ahso-
lutely essential.
Gen. Kirk said it was planned to
ask Congress for enabling legislation
to build the library at the next
session and that it was hoped to
include a request for funds in the
1948 budget.
The 110-year-old library now Is
in the nonfireproof structure at
Seventh street and Independence
avenue, which was built In 1887.
Aside from the lack of safety here.
the quarters have long since been
outgrown with the annual accretion
of 1000 volumes.
DR.. John L. Fulton, professor OF
physiology at Yale University, pre-
sided at the opening session yes
terday, after which the consultants
were taken on tours of the library.
