War Profits
Continued From First Page.)

Is arranging to talk with Internal
Revenue Bureau officials. He had
made no definite appointment with
Attorney General Clark but expects
to do so some time this week, it was
said. Mr.. Clark was out of town
today.
Chairman Mead previously had
called attention to what he regards
as showdown IN the handling of
surplus property, especially machin-
cry, in Europe and the Pacific. The
committee, during the past year, has
been investigating surplus property
disposal in general and may send a
subcommittee abroad to look into
the foreign disposal problem.
The purpose of the conference
with Internal Revenue Bureau Off
clals, it was explained today by
committee spokesmen, is to move
forward under the authority recently
given by President Truman to in
spect files on income, excess profits
and capital gains taxes.
Plans Early Resume.
Senator Mead was quoted by the
Associated Press as saying a COM
prehensive resume of the commit
tees work to date would be forth
coming shortly. It will not be
final report, other committee
sources said today, because the
war profits investigation will con-
tinue "for some time" according to
a schedule of priorities announced
by the committee last week.
Still another question to be de-
cided by Chairman Mead and the
committees staff is whether to issue
another subpoena for Mr.. May. The
earlier one called for his appear
ance before the committee July %.
On the eve of that session the
committee received word the House
Military Affairs Committee chair
man was seriously Ill with heart
ailment.
Adjournment Removes Immunity.
Adjournment of Congress re-
moves the immunity Mr.. May had.
Some committee officials believe the
earlier subpoena still stands" but
they indicate another will be issued
If the committee finds Mr.. Nav
would be physically able to appear
for questioning.
Referring to the request of sena-
tor Taylor. Democrat, of Idaho that
the committee investigate what he
termed excessive freight rates paid
by the armed services" committee
aides quoted Senator Mead as say
ing the committee was glad to re-
ceive suggestions from members of
Congress and would give them care
full consideration.
Senator Mead apparently planned
to use this week to tie up loose ends
in the various investigations now
under way so that committee inves-
tigators could proceed while COM
mittee members are at home. SEN
ator Mead said he expected to go
home next week for a short time.
