Secretary Byrnes on four-powe1
conference progress in Paris cheer,
ed President Truman Friday a
his holiday hideout. =
The chief executive also was De
scribed as pleased over prospects
for settlement of his row with Con
gress over price control.
I,ie,,t. Cmdr. William Rigdor
came down from Mr.. Truman:
Catoctin mountain "Shangri-La'
to bring word to reporters on both
points. Rigdon is officer in charge
of the camp.
Satisfactory Talk
He said the President had "a
very satisfactory" 1o-miaute trans
Atlantic telephone talk with the
Secretary of State.
He reported that Mr.. Truman
was pleased by published reports
indicating that Senate Majority
Leader Barley had worked out
satisfactory compromise on OPA.
Byrnes, speaking from Paris,
gave MI. Truman a fill-in on the
four-power agreement to convoke
the 2l-aation European peace con-
ference in Paris on July 20.
The conversation took place a
9 a. m. (EST), an hour and a hall
after the President arose to begir
another day of his long Fourth o!
July weekend rest with Mrs. Tru
man.
Visit Gettysburg
Later the two drove through
Hagerstown, Wayaesboro and other
towns. They plan a visit Saturday
morning to the Gettysburg battle
field in nearby Pennsylvania.
Rigdon said the President would
meet Washington reporters on the
battle-ground near where Pickett
made his famous charge. The time
for the rendezvous was not set.
The officer met reporters in
Camp Cozy at Thurmont, where
they are quartered four miles
from the presidential hideaway
first taken over by the late Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt.
There was no indication whether
the President knew about a state
ment in Washington by OPA Ad-
ministrator Paul Porter saying that
the compromise Senate Banking
committee measure still contained
some of the undesirable features
of the OPA bill the President veto
ed as "inflationary." Porter called
for a bill more in line with presi-
Dental recommendations.
Takes Mile Walk
After his talk with Byrnes, the
chief executive left Mrs. Truman
and took a mile walk along noun.
tain trails to a point near a So
called haunted house" The story
goes, Rigdon said, that a murder
occurred there many years ago
and the natives gave it that name.
After his walk, Mr.. and Mrs. Tru-
man took their brief automobile
ride. Their a was accompanied
by another containing secret serv-
ice men. The few people who recog-
nized them as they drove through
the towns waved their hands in
greeting. The presidential machine,
however, made no stops.

Republicans Promise
Close Scrutiny for
Cultural Program
BY the Assoeioted Press

Republicans said today the State
Departments cultural relations pro-
gram, long congressional bone of
contention, would receive "close
scrutiny" from the new Congress.
COP members of the House APP
propriations Committee told re-
porters they believed substantial
savings could be made in the pro-
gram, which Congress fought over
last summer before approving a
$685. 900 fund for operation In
South America.
I'VE certainly will give it close
scrutiny before approving any more
funds" Representative Wiggles-
worth, Republican, of Massachusetts,
said. II wouldn't want to say off,
hand that we will eliminate.the pro-
gram entirely"
Opposes European Operation.
Representative Jones, Republican,
of Ohio said he saw no reason for
expansion of the program and did
not believe funds should be granted
for It's operation in Europe as pro-
posed previously by the State De-
partment.
Certainly we should not spend
money to have the State Department
complete with the regular news dis
semination agencies in countries
where existing news facilities are
adequate" Mr.. Jones said.
Although the State Department
has insisted that its cultural relations
work-the dissemination abroad of
news about the United States and
the development of better cultural
relations with other nations-doe
not overlap the functions of news
papers and news agencies, some
members of Congress contend other
wise.
Taber Against Propaganda"
Legislation authorizing expansion
of the program barely skirted
through the House Rules Committee
this year.
Representative Taber of New
York, who will be chairman OF the
Appropriations Committee when
Republicans organize the House,
called for curtailment of all Federal
information programs.
AS a result of these programs, Mr.
Taber said, "the people don't get the
news-they are deceived by propa-
ganda."
Mr.. Taber estimated that at least
500. 100000 could be saved If Con-
gress denies funds to the Govern
ment public relations offices.

Too many people knew us to-

ment on the ground that Mai. Wer-
