.Krug Urges Truman
To Lift 85-MiIIion Lid
On Reclamation Cost
By the Associoted Press

OMAHA, Oct. 10.-secretary Of
Interior Grug has made a strong
appeal" to President Truman that
the s85 ,oO0, 900 ceiling on Bureau of.
Reclamation spending be lifted.
United States Commissioner OFF
Reclamation Michael w. Straus dis.
closed today. !
1--WE have pleaded the case with
fervor," Mr.. Straus told the 18th an
nual convention of the National
Reclamation Association. Lifting
of the freeze Is anxiously awaited"
When the Presidents order was
announced August 2, MIR. Straus said.
the Bureau of Reclamation already
had let contracts covering virtually
the entire $85,000,000.
Mr.. Straus called for an over
hauling of the reclamation laws,
which he said were almost revolu-
tionary'' when they were adopted A
years ago, but now are perhaps re-
actionary"
One of the principal faults Of the
law, he declared, is that it saddles
the local water-user with almost the
entire cost of reclamation projects,
despite benefits to many others.
Mr.. Straus cited as an example of
inconsistency" the fact that interest
on foreign loans often is less than
2 per cent while interest paid by
reclamation electric power users is
per cent.
Warner w. Gardner, Assistant
Secretary of Interior, served notice
that the Government has no inten-
ton now Of changing its contro-
yersial "160-acre" rule
This law provides that irrigation
from reclamation projects is not
available to more than $50 acres
owned by one person.
"The West has been settled on the
principle of the family-sized farm"
Mr.. Gardner declared Most people
will agree that the water should be
made available to as many farms
and people as possible"

nazii Doctors 10 Face
Allied Trial on Nov. IS

NUREMBERG, Oct. 10.-American
authorities said today that German

series of six trials. The second
group, they said, would include Nazi
Peoples Court judges who issued
summary death sentences, often
without even hearing defense tes-
timony.
At least a dozen doctors engaged
in so-called medical experiments
for the SIS have been brought here
for trial and an entire corridor oi
the Nuremberg courthouse has been
roped of for weeks for the inter
rogation of witnesses.

Anderson Holds Kew
In Any Move 10 End
Meat Price Control

While the country speculated on
what steps the administration might
take to ease the meat shortage, a
study of the Price Control Act to-
day indicated that Secretary of Agri-
culture Anderson would be the key
figure if any quick move to end
controls should be ordered.
Although the three-man, inde-
pendent Price Decontrol Board took
the initial step on August 20 that
put livestock, and its products back
under price control, now that meat
has become the hottest issue of the
day any immediate reversal Of that
policy would appear to rest with
the Secretary of Agriculture.
A member Of the OPA legal staff
admitted that agency could recon-
mend meat decontrol, but said it
only would be a recommendation
unless approved by Mr.. Anderson.
Anderson Put Above OPA.
After setting forth various de-
tailed standards for deciding when
an article should be freed from
control. Congress wrote into the new
law a so-called Saving provision, ;"
which sought to preserve the general
power of Price Administrator Porter
to decontrol nonagricultural prod
ucts on broader grounds.
Even in this saving" clause. how
ever, Congress placed Mr.. Anderson
above OPA in regard to agricultural
commodities. The saving clause
reads as follows: \
Saving provision-nothing in this
section shall limit the administra-
tors authority to remove maximum
prices for any n-agricultural COM
modify, or any agricultural commod-
ity with the approval of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, at an earlier
time than would be required by this
section, if in his judgment or in the
judgment of the Secretary Of Agri-
culture, as the case may be, such
action would be consistent with the
purposes of this section"
Two Means of Decontrol.
Congress provided two ways in
which decontrol could be accom-
plished:
/ /. Either on initiative Of the price
administrator, with the approval Of
the Secretary of Agriculture in the
case Of agricultural products.
2. BY allowing industry advisory
committees to file petitions asking
for decontrol. The function of the
Decontrol Board in connection with
the current meat shortage appears
to be largely that of court of ap-
peals to review a petition for de-
control, if 1t should be turned down
by the Secretary of Agriculture.
The OPA Advisory Committee on
beef today filed decontrol petition,
but the legal process set forth by
Congress in the July revival of price
control will give such a petition a
slow journey, should all Of the steps
be necessary.
Would Have Little Effect.
First, the Secretary of Agriculture
is given Is days to grant the petit
ton or explain in writing why 1t
should not be granted. At that
point the petitioner may ask for fur
ther consideration, in which event

Surplus Probe Turns
From UNRRA 10 WAA
Policies on Pricing
By Don S. Warren

After grilling UNRRA omclaiS
for two days on their diversion OF
some rail supplies from China to
Yugoslavia, the House Surplus Prop
erty Committee today returned to
its inquiry into the War Assets
Administration.
This mornings session was de-
voted to a detailed analysis Of how
WAA arrives at prices on many
lines of surplus commodities. The
first witness, Walter p. Coppinger,
acting director Of the General
Products Hardware and Plumbing
Division, WAA, said most sales are
made under a fixed price system,
although sealed bids, spot "lot"
sales and negotiated transactions
sometimes were employed.
Mr.. Coppinger said one of the
main problems Of his division was
to ascertain the total amounts OF
certain lines of goods which WAA
had for sale. He said he fixed
prices on the recommendation Of
commodity specialists in the numer-
Gus divisions under his jurisdiction
and that the price level depended
largely on how fast 1t was desired
to move the surpluses, the desire
to get the best return to the Gov
ernment and consideration of the
impact of the Government sales
on private industry.
Can't Rely on Lists.
1--WE don't want to give the stuff
away, but we don't want to get
stuck with it," he said.
The witness added that for
various reasons the WAA could not
rely on the acquisition costs listed
by Government agencies In their
declarations of materials as sur
plus and also that a rechecking
had to be made as to the quantities
Of materials scheduled for dis
posal.
Fiorello H. La Guardia, UNRRA's
director general, was drawn into the
spotlight again late yesterday when
the committee was told he had for
hidden any UNRRA employe to give
information to the House committee
or others without his knowledge and
permission.
Order Put In Memo.
The witness, Karl Borders, deputy
chief of the Bureau of Supply, said
he had issued such advice to all
UNRRA employees on orders coming
to him through channels" from
the director general. The memo
said:
by express instruction of the
director general, nobody in the ad-
ministration Is to appear before this
committee, make any comments to
it, answer any inquiries, from it, or
issue any information whatsoever
on the subject, without his knowl-
edge and permission" 1t added that
the entire staff was to be instructed
to refer any inquiries to UNRRA's
public information"
Chairman Slaughter asked if any
other congressional committee had
been put ON this blacklist" and Mr.
Borders said he knew of none. He
said he feared the committee was
"nisconstruing" the La Guardia in
structions.
Diversion Created Storm.
Nose Harvey of the Civilian Pro-
duction Administration, which had
issued a directive for provision OF
$4,000 tons Of rails and accessories
for China. fatty contradicted testi-
mony by Louis N. Swenson OF
UNRRA that no objection to the
diversion had come from CPA.
Mr.. Harvey said discovery OF
UNRRAs diversion Of a portion Of
China's rail orders, in the face Of
the CPA directive, had caused a
stormy reaction" at CPA. He said
he had warned about the question
of bad faith" as to the CPA direc-
