Truman Admits He Didn't Talk
With knutson' About Tax Cut

President Truman admitted today
that he was in error in indicating
a month ago that he had talked
tax reduction with Representative
Knutson, Representative OF Mime
sofa. but he added that he would be
glad to have Mr.. Knutson explain
his contention that taxes could be
cut 20 per cent.
The Minnesotan had declared that
a Republican House would cut 20
per cent of the tax bill and balance
the budget through various econo-
mics, and the argument was chal-
lenged by the President in a sup
posedly off-the-record statement at
. budget seminar early in August.
AT the same time, Mr.. Truman said

Mr.. Byrnes' stressing of these
points will have an important effect
on the trend of events in Europe

believed here. This is true for two
reasons. it Is argued.
First, the United States has beer

it did after World War I, and retreat

ConoI Project
| As Dead Horse

President Truman today described
the Canol oil project as dead horse,
fully investigated by Congress, and
said there was no use digging 1t up.
The President was asked about the
dispute over the project between
Admiral Ernest ]. King, former chief
of naval operations, and Chairman
Mead of the Senate War Investigate
ing Committee.
Admiral King has disputed Mead
Committee charges attributing per-
sonal responsibility to him for the
wartime oil venture, holding it was
approved by the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff, of which he was only .
member.
Asked If it would not be necessary
for him to make public the delibera.
tions of the war staff to show where
responsibility lay, Mr. Truman said
he had sought to dispose of that
matter in a report when he headed
the Senate War Investigating Com
mittee. the purpose of that report
being to prevent a dead horse from
being dug up lascr.
Meanwhile, the Mead COMMITTEES
went forward today with plans to
hear Admiral King sometime this
month in connection with the Cano,
project.

President Plans
No Extra Session
For Congress
Porter Will Stay
As Price Control
Head, He Expects

President Truman today told
his news conference that he had
no plans for calling an extra ses-
sion of Congress either now or
after the November elections.
The subject was brought up first
when the President was asked if he
had any thought of bringing Con-
gress back for new price control
legislation. He responded with a
chuckle that he was not going to
call session because he thought
that members of Congress were en-
titled to have the time to themselves
to campaign from now to election
day:
Asked later if he might call a
special session after the elections
the President responded that he had
no thought whatever of calling an
extra session-that he didn't see the
necessity for it.
The President told another ques-
toner that Price Administrator Paul
Porter had not indicated any desire
to resign and that he did not think
he would.
The President also said that he
had no plans for calling a labor
management conference. Such a
meeting has been urged by the CIO.
The President was asked whether
he supported the plan of Secretary
of Labor Schwellenbach to rotate
membership in the international
labor organization between the CIO
and the AFL, but he responded only
that that measure was being con-
sidered.
ILO membership has been confined
to the .AFL, which is protesting any
change in the arrangement.

d D. {. Heads Ask Study
: OF Parking Problem
Ia Al Federal Buildings
Park and Planning Unit
Requested to Suggest
Remedial Legislation
By John w. Thompson, Jr,


The Commissioners today re-
quested the National CAPITAL
Park and Planning Commission
to study the parking problem
created by Federal buildings in
the downtown area and prepare
remedial recommendations for
the next Congress.
The action followed by only a few
days request that the Commission
survey all Federal land holdings
here to determine whether the areas
are being put to the best public pur-
poses, with the view of ultimate re-
capture by the District of land not
so serving.
In his $228, 900 900 six-year pro-
gram for expansion of District ia
cilities and services last June, En-
Fgineer Commissioner Gordon r
Young was severely critical of the
Federal planning agencies which
permitted the construction of large
Federal buildings in the downtown
Mall area without provision of ade-
quate parking space.
He charged the Federal agencies
were "inexcusably remiss" in over
looking the congestion that has
arisen
Brig. Gen. Young pointed out
that while the District Government
is vitally interested in the situation
it is Federal problem that must
be Federally solved.
Both the survey of land holdings
and of the parking problem were
recommended in the Young de-
velopment plan, but the Commits
sioners as a whole have requested
Park and Planning Commission ac-
ton only recently.
