led the capital, which had been
specializing over the posts for
weeks.
The Office of War Mobilization
and Reconversion, which Snyder
now heads, will come to an end, the
President said, indicating that no
successor will be named. In re-
ply to a question, Mr.. Truman adj
ded that most of the reconversion
problems it was set up to handle
are over.
Bowles To Continue
. Mindful of reported conflicting
views in the past between Snyder
and Chester Bowles, former Price
Administrator and now Stabilize
ton director, reporters also ask
ed whether Bowles now becomes
the top man in the sterilization
setup. Mr.. Truman replied that
Bowies will continue in his present
job as it is now functioning.

CHANNEL REVIEW
ORDER RECEIVED
u. S. Engineers To Hold
Hearing On IS Foot
Depth Soon

Wilmington's hope for a 35-foot
deep Cape Fear river channel from
the city's port to the sea was lift
ed a large notch yesterday when
T. J. Hewitt, assistant to Col.
George w. Gillette, district Chief
of U. S. Engineers, announced
that q directive authorizing a re-
view of the engineers 1898 35-foot
channel report has been received
from Washington, D. c., head
quarters.
A public hearing to determine
whether the 35-foot channel is ad-
visable will be held some time this
summer, Hewitt said. All concern
ed parties - port commission Of
f~icials, shipping agents, and ship
operators, and the like - are urg-
ed to draw up their reasons why
the channel should be deepened
to IS feet and be ready to submit
them when the hearing is called.
Directive Authorized
The directive authorizing the re-
view of the engineers report was
originally authorized by the U. S.
House of Representatives Rivers
and Harbors committee upon the
request and backing of Congress-
man J. Bayard Clark. The COM

PORTER ATTACKS
MEASURE ON 0PA
Bitter Battle Foreseen In
Action On Committee
Recommendation

WASHINGTON, June 6-P =
Price Administrator Paul Porter
asserted Thursday night that "ef-
fective price and rent control will
end" if the Senate Banking COM
mittee's OPA extension bill be-
comes law.
His statement attacking the
measu-e served to underscore the
comment of Senator Taft (R.-Ohio)
that a major battle may be ex.
pected when the Senate takes it up
next week, especially over a pro-
vision lifting meat and dairy price
controls at the end of this month.
Same Points
Though they are on opposite
sides of the issue, Porter in his
formal statement and Taft in talk
ing to reporters laid their emphasis
on the same points-the meat and
dairy price ceilings question and
the regulations on profit margin
allowances.
Taft, who supported in commit
tee the lifting of the meat and
dairy ceilings, said he expected the
big quarrel over that point. He
added that sharp debate is likely
on a committee-approved rule for
bidding OPA to force cost absorp-
ton upon dealers in conversion
items such as automobiles, refrig'
orators, and radios.
Seeks 1941 Prices
He said % that he will try to
write in on the floor his own
amendment to require that manu-
facturers be allowed their 194l
prices plus the industry's average
unit increase in costs since = en-.
He lost on a tie vote when he
tried I ut the provision into the
bill in committee.
Porter in his statement asserted
his belief that if the measure
passes as it now stands, meat will
rise 40 to so per cent in price and
the cost c butter, milk, cream and
cheese will soar.
He said further that the effects
would spre d from that point tc
other items of the national econ
omy. On profit regulations he
had this main theme:
