Commodity ALLEGATION
System May Be in Peril.
From Court Decision !.

A Government source conceded to-
day that the method OF certain aeen-
cies in allocating agricultural and
industrial commodities may be in
jeopardy as a result Of a District
Court ruling yesterday hitting the
historical basis" for the ALLEGATION
of grain to distillers.
Justice Henry A. Schweinhaut
held that the use Of the historical
basis, to the extent employed by
the Agriculture Department in allo-
eating grain to distillers, was con-
trary to q section of the War Mo-
Obligation and Reconversion Act.
He said he would issue a prelim-
mary injunction against Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson to stop al
location of an additional 100000
bushels of grain for September to
old-line distillers only.
The opinion was handed down in
connection with a suit filed August
rs by the Publicker Industries, Inc,
Of Philadelphia, large independent
manufacturer of industrial and bev-
erage spirits, which sought an in
junction to stop the ALLEGATION Of
the additional 1000 bushels in
September on the so-called "his-
torical basis" The ALLEGATION on
that basis would exclude the corpo-
ration from any share in the in
crease, 1t was claimed.
The increase was to step up the
ALLEGATION from approximately 2,5O0.-
600 bushels of grain for distillers in
August to some 5000, 900 this month,
but only the so-called old-line dis
tillers would have benefited by the
additional 100000 bushels, it was
said.
Besides the 100000 additional
bushels, application of this formula
would have resulted in the reallo-
cation Of approximately another
100000 bushels diverted from other
purposes to the so-called old Lime
distillers, it was said by counsel for
the plaintiff.
Justice Schweinhaut held that the
plaintiff. Publicker Industries, Inc, -
suffers materially by the application
of the historical basis in the formula
adopted by the Secretary for the
ALLEGATION of grain, since its quota
would be much greater if that basis
was ignored"

Bridges Urges Recall
OF Congress to Act in
National Meat Crisis
ly me Asxoeioted Prasx

CONCORD, N. H., Sept. IL
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire today urged q
special session of Congress to
take action on what he termed
"a national crisis arising from
the recontrol of meat by the
OPA."
Senator Bridges declared the
situation with regard to food,
clothing and housing was so
extremely serious" that Presi-
dent Truman had no alterna-
tive but to call a special session
and acknowledge "the injurious
effects of OPA controls upon
the daily living of our people"
The Senator expressed salts
faction with the Decontrol
Boards decision not to allow
resumption OF control over
grains and dairy products, sug-
gesting that the decision was
based in some degree on the
critical conditions which have
arisen since the board recon-
trolled meat"
