While the Senate late yesterday

could be used to make fertilizer.
They promised to renew the fight
later.
Led by Senators Eastland, Demo-
crat, Of Mississippi and Wherry, Re-
publican, of Nebraska. they con-
tended that fertilizer production
in Germany should not be de-
stroyed when nitrates and other
fertilizers needed here are being
shipped abroad.
Senator Knowland blocked the
move with point Of order, declar-
ing that nitrate plants convert cas-
lily into munitions plants and urging
that the question be left to the
American occupation authorities to
settle.
Without passing on the merits OF
the fertilizer fight, Senator VAN
denberg, Republican of Michigan,

Knowland point that such an
amendment would be legislation on

Russia must have seen the possibil-
tty of such a reaction as a world
wide threat to her prestige.
1t Is true, Of course, that the de-
cision to aid Greece could not wait
upon the conference or anything
else If it was to come in time.
Nevertheless We should recognize
that this move adversely affected
the chances of success in Moscow.
The sober judgment Of the men
who have been dealing with Russia
during these weeks is that there is
no reason to despair Of eventually
working out the problems faced here
without sacrifice to Russia on es-
sential principles. Our position is
strong as they see 1t, for we have
the diplomatic initiative because we
can afford to wait.
u. S. Can Afford to Wait.
We have the initiative and can
afford to wait because what really
matters to us is the long-term set
tlement Of the European problem.
Russia's primary interest, on the
other hand, is the satisfaction of
her immediate hungers and wants.
The conference has made this plain.
The reconciling of these conflict
ing approaches has been the main
problem here.
This does not mean, Of course,
that we have monopoly on the
long view, or that Russia alone is
concerned with day-by-day, hand
to-mouth problems of the settle
ment. Russia, too, has her long
range ideas-some might call them
designs-on the future of Europe.
We have our short-run worries.
But the difference is one of en-
phasis, and it Is critical difference.
We can afford the luxury of devot-
ing our main effort to seeing that
Europe is as we want it to be 20
years from now. What Russia needs
most-reparations, the wherewithall
to reconstruct her shattered econ
omy-she needs right away.
Viewed In this harsh light, the
relative strength of our bargaining
position emerges clearly. 1t Is the
difference between man who, eco
nomically speaking, has to buy, and
one who is we'll fed enough to be
able to shop around.
That, incidentally, is why the fall
ure Of this Moscow Conference has
been an even more serious blow to
the Russians than it is to u.s.

Horrimon Praises Y. S. Response
To Truman Plea for Price Cuts

Secretary OF Commerce Hartman
today applauded the Tremendous
response throughout the country
to President Truman's plea for
lower prices.
Businessmen are seeing more and
more the value of viewing the ques-
ton Of price from the point OF view
OF the Nation as q whole, he said,
and not from their own point Of
view alone.
He declined, however. to make a

Navy Sill Considers
Building on Brewery
Site, Group Learns
By Hcsold J. Rouers

A new building for the Navy De-
Epartment still is under consideration
on the site now occupied by the
Heurich Brewing Co, but plans are
being delayed for several reasons.
Testimony to this effect was laid
before the Public Buildings Subcom-
mittee OF the House Public Works
COMMITTEES today BY onicials Of the
Navy and the Federal Works Ad-
ministration.
Rear Admiral John j. Manning,
chief Of the Bureau Of Yards and
Docks, was asked by committee
members about the project. He said
it had been suggested, but that he
understood "other projects" have
been given priority by the Federal
Works Agency.
n. G. Hunter, assistant commits
sioner Of public buildings Of the
Federal Works agency. explained
that only preliminary space studies
had been made. The site, now oc-
cupied by the brewery. was chosen,
he said, so as to have the head
quarters Of the War and Navy De-
partments adjacent, but not adjoin-
ing.
Army Giving Up Building.
The structure built for the War
Department q few years ago on
Virginia avenue, however, now is
being turned over to the State De-
partment.
Among reasons presented for de-
lay in pushing the project, the wit
ness said, were the war and the
shortage of materials. Representa-
tive Auchincloss, Republican, of
New Jersey, pressed Admiral Man
ming as to why he was reluctant
to indicate the reasons why the
Navy was not pressing for a new
home.
While the admiral hesitated, Rep
resentative Arnold, Republican, of
Missouri interjected that perhaps
the Navy was waiting to see what
would happen to legislation for the
unification Of the armed services.
"The Navy has not stressed q new
building at this time" the admiral
stated, "as it could continue in
buildings where it is now housed.
Besides, other construction had pri-
ority."
The subcommittee, headed by Rep
resentatiye McGregor, Republican,
Of Ohio, pursued further It's in
quiry into space in the Pentagon
Building. Army witnesses were
asked to submit a list Of space there
occupied by drugstores. beauty par
lors and other concessions. which
again today were criticized by Rep
resentative Wilson, Republican, OF
Indiana.
Construction programs Of both the
Army and Navy were described by
witnesses as being postponed be-
cause of high costs. Prices are
leveling of, however. they said.
The subcommittee will resume
hearings at 10 am. Tuesday for
further consideration Of a bill for
the new General Accounting Once
Building. The committee today
looked into the armed forces pro-

The Falls Church Chamber OF

munity effort to reduce prices, ac-
cording to President John Eakin.
He said sentiment was strong for
adopting the plan.
Sp0rtswear Prices Cut.
As the plan gathered momentum,
L. w. Foster Sportswear Inc, an
nounced in Philadelphia today that
it is reducing prices on Its fall
line which 1t estimated will save
consumers about 81 ,000, 600. Presi-
dent Lou Foster said the reductions
were aimed at "revitalizing purchas-
ing power"
President Truman is pleased with
his moral suasiop" campaign
against high prices, which he said
yesterday seems to be getting some
results. He, does not plan further
action, however.
/ The President, at a press con-
ference, expressed pleasure at the
action Of Newburyport merchants.
He said he sees no necessity for q
board of businessmen to be set up
by the Commerce Department to
work for voluntary price reductions
as suggested Tuesday by Chester
Bowles, former OPA head and sta
bilization director.
Price Laws Stumbling Block.
Edward d. Shaw, executive secre-
tary Of the Merchant and Manu-
factors Association here, stressed
that the stumbling block to a CITY,
wide reduction in prices was Fed
eral laws prohibiting price fixing,
either upward or downward.
This does not preclude, he said,
action by individual merchants in
reducing prices.
A women's ready-to-wear shop at
1928 Fourteenth street NV. an
nounced today that it was placing
the Massachusetts, plan into opera
ton for trial period. The shop
said the 10 per cent reduction would
affect all merchandise, including
nylon hose.
Other Washington merchants have
announced price reductions in nom
food items as high as so per cent.
