Truman Refuses 10 Send
Extra Coal 10 Great Lakes

President Truman has rejected
the request of Representative Pit
tenger, Republican. of Minnesota
that 100000 tons of coal be diverted
to the upper Great Lakes dock
areas, explaining that the country's
dwindling stockpiles will not permit
it.
Mr.. Pittenger proposed in a letter
to Mr.. Truman on September "A
that so-called premium Goals pro-
duced in districts 7 and 8 be chan
neled to the upper Great Lakes
areas during the remainder of the
navigation season as was done in
1913. The two districts embrace
parts of the Virginias, Kentucky
and Tennessee.
The President wrote the legislator
yesterday saying he did not believe
diversion would be justified unless
production could be stepped up to
increase the quotas for all sections.
In the meantime, he amplified, GER
tain steps-which were outlined
have been taken 'in order that the
lake dock territory will receive its
fair share of the available supply
and that the great bulk of the supply
will be delivered during the naviga-
ton season."

Cattle DecontroI in Novembe,
Proposed as Meat Solution
By MolcoIm Lomborne, Jr.

Several producers suggested an
end to hog ceilings this month to
encourage more breeding Of sows
for narrowing next spring.
The proposal for ending ceilings
on cattle In November is based
on the theory that the run Of range
fed cattle to market has passed its
peak. The end of ceilings, several
experts said, would spur the market
ing of cattle now on feed and at
the same time encourage heavier
feeding of other cattle just then
moving into feed lots.
Thus, beef would become avail
able by Christmas. they said, al
though 1t would not be Of the choic-
est grades. Later marketings would
bring better grade of beef to BUTCH
er shops in late winter and early
spring, it was claimed.
The lifting of ceilings on hogs
would come at time when the run
is usually at its peak and prices
are normally lower, most observers
agreed. One proposal was that such
action should come between Decem-
Der Is and January Is.
There was general agreement that
ending of controls would make no
immediate difference in the meat
supply situation. Estimates on i'm
proyement iii supply for consumers
ranged from four to six weeks.
With the end of controls around
the first of the year, farmers can
begin making plans for the new
year, it was pointed out. Otherwise.
with controls in effect until next
July /. producers face six months of
uncertainty.
Already there Is talk in the Agri-s-
culture Department OF sagging prices
and lessened demand for farm pro-
ducts some time in the future
If farmers can start 1947 free OF
controls and uncertainty, then that
day may be postponed, one farm
authority pointed out.

|UNRRA Aide Explains
Reasons for Diyerfing
Rails 10 Yugoslayia

DR.. Norman Leon Gold, Chief OF
the industrial rehabilitation division
of UNRRA, today told the House
Surplus Property Committee it was
he who reached the decision to di-
vert a considerable portion of steel
rails and rail accessories intended
for China to Yugoslavia-and he
gave four reasons for his action.
The diversion of the so-called
rails for China has caused sharp
questioning from the House COM
mittee and today brought fiat dec
laration from Chairman Slaughter
that he thought the switching
around of these rails from China to
Yugoslavia. was downright fraudu-
lent"
DR.. Gold, a Canadian by birth
who became an American citizen
in 1887, stalnchly defended the
change order, despite the fact an
emergency order for China had been
issued by the Civilian Production
Administration at the request of
Gen. Marshall, President Trumah's
OPCSAdA CAsOy w OAAAAAS.
Embargo Is Cited.
DR.. Gold told the committee his
basic authority was in an embargo
on shipments to China authorized by
UNRRA Director General La Guar
dia in which he authorized diver
sion of rails intended for China If
those needed supplies could be re-
placed. He then outlined the fol-
lowing four reasons supporting his
decision:
UNRRA by that time fmid-july)
already had shipped 1900 tons of
rail and rail accessories to China !;
China had informed UNRRA it had
received all of the rails it could
handle at that time, about $500
tons of rails and rail accessories
intended for China were stored in
American warehouses and that a
like amount was available, and
UNRRA meanwhile had received
urgent requests" from other coun-
tries, including Yugoslavia, for sur
plus rails.
The urgent priorities order for
China called for $1,000 tons of rails
and accessories. The witness said
the LaGuardia embargo on such
shipments to China was understood
to be only temporary until con-
gestion at Chinese ports was re-
lieved. He said UNRRA had been,
is now, and would continue its
efforts to get badly needed rails
and similar supplies to China.
Breach Of Faith Denied.
Earlier, Chairman Slaughter and
Hugh D. Wise, jr.. committee coun-
sci, sought to show that the diver
sion of rails to Yugoslavia consti-
tuted a breach of faith" under
/ the CPA directive for ALLEGATION Of
SO, 900 tons of rails to China.
The first witness. Louis N. Sven
son, director of the procurement
coordination division of UNRRA
denied this but Chairman Slaughter
interrupted his testimony to say
he thought 1t was downright
fraudulent"
a sharp fiareup came shortly be-
fore adjournment yesterday. when
the committee was informed In a
letter from MIR. La Guardia that he
wanted it clearly understood that
four UNRRA employees were appear
ing voluntarily and not In response
| To- subpoenas the committee bad
issued. - stsss Il -

meat SttHQLtOn.J
End price controls on cattle by
mid November and on hogs after
December Is, and the meat
shortage will begin to ease in a
matter of weeks, with the live
stock industry on its way to
normal by mid -1947.
This represents, in general, the
viewpoint of producers and farm ex-
perts interviewed In the West.
If and when the decision is
reached by the Government to
terminate controls, it should be
made effective Immediately in sur
prise overnight announcement, one
authority proposed. To announce
that controls will end on some fu-
ture date would only bring halt
to livestock marketings pending the
effective date of termination, he
pointed out.
While conceding there might be a
temptation to rush underfed live
stock to market with the end of con-
trolls, some experts believe the MAJ
iority of producers would take .
long grange view and market their
cattle and hogs in an orderly
fashion.
There is always the threat, they
point out, of too much livestock
going to market at any one time,
thus depressing prices sharply-to
the disadvantage of most producers.
For both consumer and producer,
however, there is definite advan-
tage in bringing nearer the day
when the livestock and meat in-
dustries are back on the traditional
supply and demand basis, 1t was
stressed.
