u. S. Will Store Meat
To Equoiize Supplies

The Government will attempt to
equalize the Nations meat supplies
for the next year or longer by plac-
ing in storage some of the large
quantities expected to become avail
able within the next few months.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
told a news conference yesterday
that President Truman's program
for helping prevent mass starvation
abroad will necessitate prompt iqui-
datlon OF excess hogs, cattle, poultry
and other livestock to prevent a
drain on short grain supplies.
Secretary Anderson explained that
the livestock sold under speedup
marketing will be processed into
meats, but a portion will be held
back and stored for release later
when supplies may be smaller. He
did not reveal the amount to be
withheld. Such procedure would
tend to even out meat supplies and
lessen the possibility of return to
meat rationing if this years grain
crops prove small
The Department also took action
yesterday to raise the foreign quota
of pork and lard. Beginning tomor-
row, Federally inspected meat pack
ers will be required to set aside
71s per cent of the live weight of
hogs they slaughter each week. In
addition, Government purchase of
lard will be increased from 3h to
per cent of live weight of hogs.
These actions assist measures
asked by the President on February

tor now possesses.
Mr.. Bowles' appearance before the
House Banking and Currency COM
mittee on requested extension of the
Sterilization Act for a year beyond
the June 80 expiration date was
postponed third time today from
Monday until next Thursday. The
postponement was allowed to give

eide future policy.
Steel Offers Rejected.
Meanwhile, settlement of the 90
day-old general steel strike and an
nouncement of the new wage-price
policy remained "just around the
corner" as officials indicated the
steel industry has yet to accept the
latest offers of price increases.
Seek to End Steel Strike.
The labor crisis and particularly
the steel strike, which is slowly par

ficials were driving hard to end the
Nations biggest walkout and open
the steel mills by Monday, but the
chances of accomplishing that
seemed to have deteriorated.
Mr.. Truman, nevertheless, was de-
scribed by White House official as
quite hopeful" that the end of the
steel strike was near. The Official
added that good progress is being
made" and that the United States
Steel Corp. and the CIO United
Steel Workers were not very far
apart.
1t was understood, however, that
United States Steel had not &C
cepted the Governments latest offer
of a price increase believed to ap-
proximate SIS a ton. This was said
to be not the Governments final
offer, and the industry apparently
believed this was so. big Steel"
it was indicated, still was holding
out for an increase of 81 a ton.
Truman Trip Cancelled.
Mr.. Truman yesterday Cancelled
plans to leave Monday for Florida
vacation because of the critical"
nature of problems confronting him
here. 1t was understood that one of
the reasons the trip was Cancelled
was because a solution to industrial
problems had not moved as fast as
the President had hoped.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Anderson announced that he
has applied to the Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board for authority to put into
effect wage increases recommended
for the meat industry by the Presi-

Plan 10 Replace
Snyder Denied
by White House
Rumor Persists Thut
BowIes Will Become
Sterilization Chief
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.


The White House denied today
that John w. Snyder is to be re-
placed as reconversion director,
but a report persisted that, out
of administration efforts to weld
new strike-settling wage-price
policy, Price Administrator
Chester Bowles would emerge as
the Nations stabilization boss.
Charles G. Ross, White House
press secretary, denied published
reports that Mr.. Snyder was to be
replaced in the role of Assistant
President" by Mr. Bowles, who has
taken sharp issue with the recon-
version directors views on price and
wage controls. The reports were
that Mr.. Snyder would move into
the now-vacant Craftsmanship of
RFC and Paul A. Porter, Federal
Communications Commission chair
man, would take over OPA.

the possibility that Mr.. Bowles might

director of the Office of Economic
Sterilization, position which con-
trolls both prices and wages. Judge
Collet conferred with President
Truman and Mr.. Snyder today.
Other officials pointed out, how
ever, that such a shift would s,slfill

Separate Air Force
Plan Is Opposed by
Army Leaders
Pority con Be Attoined
By Combining Three
Arms, Congress Is Told
By the Associated Press.


The War Department jolted
Congress today by coming out
against creation of a separate
air force.
Legislation to set up an independ-
ent air arm won't work, Army
leaders told Congress.
Their views were expressed in a
letter to Chairman Manasco of the
House Expenditures Committee by
Acting Secretary of War Kenneth c.
Royal, who said the opinions he
voiced were shared by Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower, Chief of Staff, and
Gen. H. H. Arnold, wartime head of
the Army Air Forces.
Mr.. Manassas committee has
jurisdiction over several pending
bills to establish an independent air
force, as well as over proposals for
merging national defense in a single
department combining Army, Navy
and Air Forces.
The War Department fully recog-
nizes that one of the lessons learned
in this war is that air power has
come of age" and must have parity
with land and sea power in time of
peace as well as war, Gen. Royal
wrote.
But the department believes this
parity best can be attained by fol-
lowing President Truman's recon-
mendation for a single department
combining all three branches of the
service, he added.
Separation at the top necessarily
fosters separation all along the line
while unity at the top through es-
tablishment of a single department
Tor our armed forces will permit us
to capitalize fully upon what we
have learned" Royal said.
Creation of a single department
with three coordinate branches, Gen
Royal continued, would produce
these desirable results:
Cd Establish an organizational
structure providing for unified di-
rection below the President and as
|suring an ''integrated military pro-
gram and the highest measure of CO.
ordination and efficiency of our
armed forces"
90 Assure air power an equal
status with the land and sea forces.

Johnson Impeachment
MAY Be Reconsidered
Due 10 Pension Letter
Former Judge Decides
To Rescind Waiver
Of $4,000 q Yeur

Chairman Kefauver of a House
Judiciary Subcommittee ex-
pressed belief today his group
may reconsider it's decision
against asking impeachment of
former Federal Judge Albert w.
Johnson in view of the latter's
decision to rescind a waiver of
$4,000 annual pension.
The subcommittee, in a report
made public last Wednesday, de-
Scribed johnson as an "evil, wicked
judge" and one who sold justice
for all the traffic would bear" The
committee said it did not recon-
mend Johnson's impeachment be-
cause he had resigned and waived
the life pension and this action
served all the purposes of an i'm
parchment"
Letter Discloses Decision.
Mr.. Kefauver told a reporter that
Johnson's announced intention to
rescind his decision on the pension
waiver-disclosed in letter to Sec
retary of the Treasury Vinson,
which johnson made public, last
night-"puts an entirely different
slant on the matter"
Asked if the subcommittee would
recommend impeachment in view
of developments, Mr.. Kefauver said:
"Of course I can't speak for the
committee, but personally I should
think so."
In his letter to Mr.. Vinson, john
son gave as reasons for resembling
the waiver that he was "in need of
the money" and had been "ill and
incapacited physically and men
tally" when he waived the pension
rights last July.
Committee to Act Next Week.
Mr.. Kefauver said the matter
would be taken up by the commit
tee, probably next week" as soon
as it is officially informed by Mr..
Vinson of receipt of the 73-year-old
former jurist's letter.
II he wants to back down from
his decision," Mr.. Kefauver told a
reporter, that will certainly cause
the committee to take another look
at the matter"
johnson, who served 20 years on
Pennsylvania's Middle District Court
bench, has termed the committee
report as "intended to influence
his forthcoming trial at Scranton
Pa, on charges of conspiracy to
obstruct justice.
With three of his lawyers sons
and six other persons, he pleaded
innocent to the conspiracy charges
made after an 18-month grand jury
inquiry conducted by the Justice
Department.
