WASHINGTON, Dec. 29. - iR - Henry A. Wallace comes to his hou' of decision tonight with Demo cratic leaders hoping that if ht elects to head a third party he will pull no punches in his criticism of President Truman.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By ROBERT s. ALLEN Substituting for Drew Pearson

WASHINGTON - The hottest battle over imitation control is an otf-stage fight that has nothing to do with the front-paged .Tru- man, Congress ruckus.
 This behind -the-scenes tug-of- war is between the administration and top bankers, and is a lot more important to the country than the noisy congressional row. The banker battle is the real crux of the imitation control issue.
 Briefly, this is what this key fight is about:
 The bankers want the govern ment to stop maintaining the price of U. s. bonds at par. These are not the E, F, and G series Savings Bonds, which have nothing to do with this controversy. These bonds are literally what they are call Savings Bonds. They are the same as greenbacks. They are non marketable and can be cashed any time for their specified value. The bonds the bankers are talking about are the various short and long, term issues that are market able. The great bulk of these bonds

Message 10 Ask for Speed Up of Marshall Plan 10
 Avert Spring Crisis
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29. - lR - President Truman may appeal to Congress in his forthcoming State of the Union message to speed up it's Marshall Plan schedule to avert possible spring crisis in Europe.
 MT. Truman is known to have been told by his Capitol Hill lieutenants that. under present circumstances, final Congressional action on the long range European recovery pro- gram is not likely to come before the stop-gap relief law approved by the special session expires March 3l.
 Under the terms of this act, all commitments must be made before that date. Whether there is any money left for spring relief work depends on the rate at which 1t is spent during the winter.
 As evidence that there may be a spring crisis in Europe. administra- tion experts point to developments in Greece There the Communists have moved to convert thelr suer- rilla fighting into a full-fledsed civil war by setting up their own government which may get reco2ni- tion from neighboring, Russian dominated states.
 The four year, $17000, 100000 aid plan which the President submitted to the special session on its closing da, eoatemplates start April
 there would be no gap between it and the relief program.
 To meet this schedule as nearly as possible, the administration is expected to ask that any authoriza- tion legislation permit the Recon struction Finance Corporation to advance funds until actual appro- priation bills are passed.

BUCK HARRIS X SPEAKER AT MEET
 OF LIONS TODAY

Buck Harris. Alaskan sportsman, biologist and guide. told the mem bers of the Lions Club today of the crisis that is facing the Territory due to the decrease in Alaskan game He said that at a con- servative estimate, Alaskas wildlife is worth sl.O00000 and that each year there is a great loss due to improper enforcement of game laws and the inroads made by predatory animals. He cited the fact that there has been a 50 per cent de- crease in caribou in the past ten years as well as decreases among Alaskan brown bear, moose and Dall sheep.
 Harris said that the Fish and Wildlife Service is not to blame for the lack of enforcement but that it was due to the lack of appropria- tions. The annual appropriation for the service is $175000, which is far too small to administer such a vast area.
 In conclusion. Harris said that all Alaskans should take the problem under consideration for the future economic stability of the Territory.
 Guest at today's meeting was D. H. E. Mclean, Canadian Pacific Railway agent.

President Is to Sign Anil Initiation Bill = Says
 lis Inadequate
Bv FRANCIS M. LEMAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. % - 'R - President Truman promised to sign into law today the Republican anti imitation bill, but he branded it as .pitifully inadequate to deal with the grave peril" confronting the na- tion's economy.
 Several key Republicans struck back with angry words of their own in defense of the voluntary steps which form the background ot the COP measure.
 Thus the high cost of living and how to bring it down sizzled as the ma jor political issue to start off the 194S election year.
 MT. Truman took the unusual course of issuing a Sunday state ment to announce his decision ana to declare that if Congress does not give him better weapons to fight in flation the country may face a serl- ous depression"
 He left the actual signing until today. at an hour which the White House did not specify. The measure becomes effective immediately once it is signed.
 First Order
 The first official actions to carry out it's provisions appeared likely to be an order to distillers to hold their grain consumption to 2,500,- 900 bushels a month during the five weeks Che bill revives MT. Trumans wartime powers over whiskey mak- ing.
 A 60-day voluntary distilling pro- gram came to an end Christmas eve with the government and major dls- tillers at odds over a new conserva- ton program
 Extend controls
 The bill also extends the Presi- dents controls over exports and railroad transportation and provides for voluntary food programs. It does not give him the standby price-Wage control and rationing powers ne asked for in his Hotpoint program laid before the special session.
 Centering his fire on the bllls provisions for voluntary agreements in industry, business and agriculture to share scarce materials without ln- curing the risk of antitrust prose cution. the Chief Executive declar- ed
 No Voluntary Action
 Tt is far too late in the fight against imitation to place our re- liance upon voluntary action
 This bill fails to include the key measures which are essential to an effective anti-inflation program, MT. Truman asserted. This bill will not reduce the high cost of living. and it will not keep prices from going even higher"
 Rep. Walcott tR.-Mich9, who sponsored the measure along with Senator Taft (R-Ohio), shot back that if living costs are not brought down the fault will be that of the President and not of Congress. "
