The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON .

WASHINGTON-Patient Senator Alben Barl.ley of Kentucky hasn't blown off steam since he stampeded the Senate against FDR's veto of the last war tax bill. But at a luncheon the other day he indicat- ed to friends that the pot again was beginning to boil.
 In fact, Barkley stated categor- ically that llt would resign if Pres ident Truman vetoed the present OPA bill.
 He said he was tired of living on a treadmiil. that the present OPA bill was the best he could get out of the Senate, and if the Presl- dent wouldn't accept it, he would resign as majority leader.
 The serious and protracted ill., ness of the Senator's wife and the recent disclosure that his son was employed by the Erie Basin war profiteers nave increased Barkley's already heavy burden. Senate friends hope. however, that either the price-control problems will be ironed out or that Barkley will re- consider.
 The Barkley conversation took place just prior to luncheon con- memorating the 200th anniversary of Princeton University, attended by Senators Alexander Smith of New Jersey and Joe Guffey of Pennsylvania, both Princeton men. Admiral Ernie King (Annapolis) and Senatcr Barkley (Emory Col lege, Ga) though not Princeton grads were also present.

BRITAIN'S HQ IN PALESTINE
 IS SHATTERED
Bombing of Huge King David HoteI by Ter
 orists Kills 50

JERUSALEM, July 22.-Terrorists bombed and shattered part of the huge King David Hotel, head quarters Of the British Army and the Secretariat of the Palestine gov ernment, today, killing at least 50 persons in a terrifying blast that shook the modern part of this an- cient city.
 The attack came g days after the British Army occupied the Jew ish agency and arrested 2,000 Jews and leaders. A police communique gave the estimate of dead.
 Among the 60 reported unofficial ly as injured was an American, Correspondent Richard Mowrer of the New York Post, who was re- ported to have suffered a broken leg while walking past the hotel.
 A curfew was clamped on. Pedes- trians and traffic vanished from the streets in Jewish quarters of Jerusalem. Tight cordons barred access to the King David Hotel, one of the finest in eastern Mediter- ranean countries, while soldiers dug into the rubble for more bodies and for wounded.
 Postmaster General G. D. Ken nedy, a veteran of 25 years of gov ernment service in Palestine, was known to have been killed
 The explosion was likened by British army officer to the deton- ation of a 500-pound bomb. It shattered the uneasy calm of Jeru- salem, torn by Jewish demands for more immigration and Arab opposi- tion, at l2:30 p. m.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Pear Harbor investigators split 8 to with Democratic Republican ma jority praising the ability anc foresight" of the late President Roosevelt and two Republicans in sisting he must bear final respon- sibility for the naval disaster.
 Two other Republicans joined the six Democrats on the Senate House Committee in reporting to Congress that the Military Commanders in Washington and Honolulu were chiefly at fault in failing to anti cipate the surprise attack with which the Japanese began the war
 This nic jority recommended changes in military methods rang ing from unity of command in the field to elimination of brass" walls between commanders and their subordinates.
 Minority Report
 Senators Brewster (R-Me) and Ferguson tR-Mich) concluded in a minority report that the Commit tees six month investigation had shown failure to perform the re- responsibilities indispensably essential to the defense of Pearl Harbor rests upon the iasL President Roosevelt and:
 Henry l. Shmson, former Secre- tary of War; the late Frank Knox, former Secretary of the Navy: Gen. George c. Marshall, former Army Chief of Staff; Admiral Harold R. Stark. former Chief of Naval Oper- ations and Maj Gen. Leonard T. Gerow, former head of the War Loans Division of the War Depart ment.
 Japan Not "Tricked"
 The Committee has found no evil dence to support the charges, made before and during hearings, that the President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War or the Secretary of the Navy tlicked, pro- voked, melted, cajoled or coerced Japan into attacking the nation in order that declaration of war might be more easily obtained from Congress.
 "On the contrary all evidence conclusively joints to the fact that they discharged their responsibili- ties with distinction, ability and foresight in keeping with the high est traditions of our fundamental foreign policy"
 Share of Blame
 Brewster and Ferguson along with the ma jority, said that a share of the blaf He for the surprise ele- ment in the fleet-shattering attack must go to the Hawaiian Com manders, Maj. Gen. Walter C.. Short and Rear Adm. Husband E. Kimmel. The majority attributed this to errors of judgment and not derelictions of duty" the latter an offense that might be subject to court martial action.
 Supplement Report
 In supplement, Rep. Keefe (R- 1 Wis) expressed his view that the l report, which he signed, ! ito throw as soft a light as possible on the Washington | scene" He contended General Mar shall and Admiral Stark each had ! failed to exercise the care and | diligence which his position requir- ! ed"
 Brewster and Ferguson declared [ that President Truman put diff culties in the way of the inquiry by permitting only Committee ! counsel to obtain documents from and barring individual committee members from exploring the files. They said Secretary Stim- son didn't answer all of the ques- tions put to him, adding that the Committee didn't get many messag- es exchanged between President ai,d Winston Churchill.

 MEASURE IS
 SUBMITTED
Approval Expected Accord ing to BdrkIey, Then
 Up 10 President

House-Senate conference committee decided today that, in the revival of OPA, price ceilings cannot be re- stored before August 20 on meat, !. poultry, eggs, milk and list of other basic foods. \ Whether these foods can be con- trolled at all again will be left to the determination of three-man board with higher authority than OPA.
 Bill Tossed Back The conference committee com pleted the writing of the com promise OPA measure and tossed the issue again directly to the House and Senate for a showdown tomorrow.
 Earlier Senate Democratic Lead CT Barkley of Kentucky, predicted at the White House that the House and Senate would approve the com- promise promptly and expressed hope President Truman will sign it.
 The compromise bill was approv- ed by II of the IS Senate and House conferees who wrote it. The three declining to sign it were Senators Milliken (R-Colo), Rep. Wolcott (R-Mich) and Smith CR- Ohio).
 i Barkley told reporters at the j White House he did not know whether MT. Truman would sign the compromise revival bill
 Up To Truman
 The Senate Democratic Leader. accompanied by Democratic chiefs of both houses, said MT. Truman was not asked whether he would put his signature to the proposal which would greatly alter price control procedure.
 And he did not tell us whether he would" Barkley told reporters.
 The President, he said. is having the legislation analysed OPA Ad- minister Paul Porter will see MT. Truman this afternoon.
 The report presumably is intend ed as a sign-or-veto guide to the chief executive. However, one off cial in a position to know said MT. Truman already had indicated a decision to approve the measure ''re- luctantly'
 Big Headache
 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 feed products.
 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 will also decide wheth- CT ceilings shall be re-imposed on poultry. eggs. food and feed pro- ducts made from them, tobacco and it's products and petroleum and it's products.
 Paul Portcl, OPA Administrator, told neWsmen i've are now working on an analysis of the bills econ- omic consequences for submission to President Truman Porter would not say whether he would recom- mend another veto.
 Chairman Spence of the House banking committee, leader in the administrations fight for strong OPA, commented: I don't think it is very effective bill, but it is the lest we can do. I believe the President will sign 1t as the last re- course"
 The House-Senate conference committee which finally agreed on the compromise Saturday night af- ter five-day deadlock set another meeting for today to resolve differ ences of opinion on just what been done.

Nations Asked 10 Cut
Grain for BEVERAGES
As Food Saving Step
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

A move developed in the interna-
tional food conference today for a
formal recommendation calling on
all countries to eliminate or sharply
reduce use of grain in manufacture
of beer and whisky to help famine
relief.
This was disclosed as the United
States placed in operation its wheat
requisitioning program designed to
take 250,000,000 bushels of this years
estimated 100000 ,000-bushel wheat
crop, which is just now beginning to
be harvested in Texas and Okla
homa.
simultaneously, President Tru-
mans Famine Emergency Commit
tee called on the Nations restau-
rants to serve bread only when Gus
toners specifically ask for it. The
committee admitted that conserva-
ton measures in eating places thus
far have mot been as successful as
might be expected" and accordingly
was urging this new step. Up to

Four-Point Program.
In addition to the proposal for
restricting manufacture of alcoholic
beverages, the Food and Agriculture
Organization Conference was told
the world: could save Cd more than
100000 tons of wheat by shifting
to human consumption the grain
normally fed livestock, 60 .45OO,OOO
tons by persuading the' United
States. aBritain. Canada, Australia
and Argentina to lower wheat con-
sumption 20 per cent below last
year, 90. 100000 tons by using
more Of Che wheat kernel for flour
and "a 100000 tons by reducing
losses in storage from disease and
pests.
The requisitioning program, which
requires an eventual 25 per cent of
supplies stored by producers IN
elevators to be sold the Govern
ment, became operative in the
Southwest where reports told of
yields better than expected.
The Associated Press reported
from Chicago that black market
buyers were competing with the
Government for the new wheat. A
grain house was quoted as saying
"a fair quantity" was going into
the black market, mostly to feed
manufacturers.
