Chinese Government
Wastes Aid Supplies,
UNRRA Employees Say
ESQ Send La Guordio
Message Protesting
Improper Hondline'
By the Associoted Press

SHANGHAI, July 9.-More
than $50 out of 400 UNRRA en-
ployes in Shanghai messaged
Director General La Guardia
today that valuable relief sup
plies were being wasted, were
deteriorating and were being
stolen while the starving con-
tinue to Starve and the needy
remain without"
The message said it was their
considered judgment that the Chi
nese government was improperly
handling UNRRA supplies and
services.
1t asserted the Chinese govern
ment's failure to provide adequate
funds for the Chinese National Re-
lief and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton (CNRRA) crippled the opera
tions of projects in many regions
and was prime reason why sup
plies pile up in warehouses, unde-
livered to the needy and hungry"
Meantime, the Chinese govern
ment was reported reliably to have
informed Mr. La Guardia that j.
Franklin Ray, acting director of the
UNRRA China Office, was persona
non grata and should be replaced.
This was believed a result of Mr..
Rays representations to the gov
ernment for financial support for
CNRRA.
The message to Mr.. La Guardia
charged UNRRA supplies were not
delivered in many areas because of
political reasons
'UNRRA supplies are being used
as a political weapon in China" it
said 1T would be unfortunate,
though justified, if because of con-
tinued failure of the Chinese gov
ernment you were compelled to di-
rect supplies to the needy elsewhere
in the world who would be assured
of receiving those supplies
The signatories expressed conf
dence in Mr. Ray, who has given
inspired leadership in his efforts to
correct shortcomings"

George H. Knutson Of the War

that the Washington expense" item
which Murray Carson had charged
to Erie Basin Metal Products, Inc,
another of the war contractors for
l943. was scaled down from $4,000
to $4,000.
Batavia Expenses Smaller.
THE $4,000 had been charged
for entertainment and propa-

all, the procurement was in Chi

Mr.. Knutson said Erie had car

Washington Office in 1943 alone
which did not include the salaries
of Murray Carson and Joseph
Freeman, who were listed as at

Effort 10 Exempt Meat
I'm Senate 0PA Bill
Expected 10 Garry
Senate First Must Act
On Amendment COVERING
Extensive DecontroIs
By J. A. O'Leory

The Wherry amendment to
leave meat and poultry out of
the new price control bill may
carry by S or 6 votes, reliable
source estimated today as the
Senate began the second day of
debate.
Before that amendment can be
voted on, however. the Senate must
dispose Of much broader substi-
tute. by Senator Thomas. Democrat
of Oklahoma, which would decontrol
not only meat and poultry, but any
product processed in whole or in
part from livestock. This would
cover wool, hides and other by
products, and it is doubtful If this
proposal would prove as strong as
the amendment limited to meat.
Although Majority Leader Barkley
is urging the Senate to act today on
the meat issue, there was no GER
tainty when the roll will be called
Senator Barkley will try to hold the
Senate in night session if voting
does not start by late afternoon.
Another Veto Feared.
II the meat decontrol amendment
is adopted, administration leaders
would have to rely on the House to
eliminate it in conference, which
may not be as easy now as when
the House knocked a series of other
specific decontrols out of the orig
inal OPA bill. before President Tru-
man vetoed it.
! Should the new bill 60 to the
White House with meat, or other
specific articles exempted, the danger
of another veto would be greater

Although President Truman ha:
not committed himself on the re.
vised OPA bill, Democratic leader:
believe he would sign it as it came
from the Banking Committee 1t i!
difficult to see how he could sign it
if one or more essential food items i.
left uncontrolled.
Some Objections Still Remain.
Even in its present form the new
bill does not overcome all OF the
Presidents objections to the vetoee
measure, but it does contain new
profit formulas for manufacturers
producers, WHOLESALERS and retailers
in place of the Taft and Wherry
pricing plans. on which Mr.. Truman
centered most of his fire.
