overproduction must be halted If
ruinously low prices were to be pre-
vented.
Supreme Court Killed Law.
In a momentous decision, the Su-
preme Court held the law uncon-
stitutional. Mr.. Wallace called the
decision the greatest legalized steal"
in history. Demands were made in
Congress for his impeachment, but
nothing happened. A new law,
meeting the courts objections, was
enacted.
Despite his long tenure in top
Washington posts, Mr.. Wallace has
never developed many really init
mate friends in Congress, as does
the average high official.
Mr.. Wallace presided over the
Senate for four years as Vice Presi-
dent, yet many Senators say frankly
off the record that they can't un-
derstand him. His actions and re-
actions just do not fit into anything
else in their experience.
Even his personal life has added
to that impression they have of
him. In one period, for instance,
he devoted his spare time to prac-
ticing throwing an Australian
boomerang
He neither smokes nor drinks and
Is virtually vegetarian.
He speaks Spanish and a smat-
tering of Chinese and Russian, but
he never has learned to speak the
regular politicians language.
MeetiaS Sponsorship Withdrawn.
Before today's development in the
Wallace affair, Mrs Elizabeth Brite,
secretary to the Washington office
Of the American Association for the
United Nations, had said her or.
ganization had withdrawn sponsor
ship of meeting here Monday night
which Mr.. Wallace had planned to
address on the subject Of World
Trade and Peace"
Mrs. Brite explained that the e.
ganization had decided not to spon-
sor the meeting Jointly with the
East and West Association because
of Mr.. Wallace's decision not to
talk and because four foreign am
bassadors who had been invited to
the meeting had announced they
would be unable to attend. The
ambassadors represented Great
Britain, France, China and Russia
and Mrs. Brite made 1t clear they
had refused the invitation prior to
Mr.. Wallace's announcement that
he would be unable to speak.
Department of Commerce officials
said they understood the East and
West Association will go ahead with
the meeting, which will be ad-
dressed by Arthur Paul. director of
the Once of International Trade.
The department is taking no active
part in the meeting.

Classifies Complaints.
Estimating that WAA has for dis
posal electronic equipment costing
about 100000, Mr.. Wise said the
complaints the committee will in
vestigate fall into three categories
/. That, on an overall basis, the
equipment has not moved fast
enough.
2. That there has been a bottle
neck in getting it into the hands
of those entitled to priority under
the law.
3. That methods used have not
been economical from the Govern
ment's standpoint.
The investigation has shown a
great deal of inefficiency in the dis
posal, and that the property has not
been getting into the hands of the
people Congress intended it should
reach" Mr.. Wise continued.

the Paris conference is concluded.
Handicap for Byrnes.
Diplomatic sources on both sides
OF the Atlantic were quick to point
out that Mr.. Byrnes and his aides
were being placed under a severe
handicap by the prospect of having
Mr.. Wallace take the stump to in
weigh against their policies, with the
tacit approval of the President.
There were strong hints that a
clarifying statement from the Pres
ident to show exactly where he stood
was regarded as absolutely neces-
sary.
1t was against this background
that the weekly news conference
assembled at 1880 this morni1g-20
minutes late. The President stood
at his desk, chatting amiably with
early arrivals. and then lifting
paper, said he had a statement on
foreign policy to read. Some one
asked him to go slow, and he said
he would do that, but added that
extra copies of the statement would
be available.
There was gasp as he reached
the announcement that Mr.. Wal
lace's resignation had been demand
ed, and as the President finished
reading, the crowd, not waiting to
ask questions. broke away with the
customary thank you, Mr. Presi-
dent" and raced for telephones.
Friendly Phone Talk.
The text indicated that Mr.. Tru-
man had asked for the resignation
ain very friendly" telephone con-
versation earlier in the day which,
the President said, confirmed his
belief that Mr.. Wallace would be
happier presenting his views as a
private citizen.
Shortly after II 80. the Commerce
Department released this brief letter
from Mr.. Wallace to the President:
Dear Harry:
CAS- you have requested, here is my
resignation. l shall continue to
fight for peace. I am sure that you
approve and will join me in that
great endeavor"
In his New York speech, Mr.. WAL

Wallace as Secretary of Commerce
will give industry a breath of fresh

appointed.
will President Truman appoint
a Secretary of Commerce who will
represent industry or the CIO?"
Referring to Mr.. Wallace's New

said the Secretary of Commerce
was sent to New York to make
an appeal for the communistic vote,
for the votes in the 1unatic fringe
and for the votes of the CIO."
Senator Reed, Republican, of
Kansas, said he fully approved"
President Trumans request for the

Senator Capper, Republican, of

Il am surprised that Truman kept

Wallace than with him"
Senator Knowland, Republican, of
California: II think the resignation
will help restore American prestige
and once again get the Government

In Charleston, w. Va, Senator
Revercomb, Republican, of West
Virginia, said: Either the President
or Wallace had to resign. The Presi-
dent had nothing left to do after
this issue was smoked out into the
public view. This does not end the
fact that there is in the Govern
ment and in the country a group
driving hard to establish the prin-
