Truman Plan 10 FLY
To Mexico Hints Aid
.0n Industry and Cattle

President Truman is going to
Mexico City in March for a
three-day visit with President
Miguel Aleman, who will return
the call shortly thereafter. Mr.
Truman will make the trip by
plane.
The program was announced late
yesterday by White House Secretary
Charles G.. Ross, and diplomatic
sources were quick to interpret it as
a good will gesture by the admins
tration.
. The two Chief Executives are ex-
pected to discuss generally a broad
range of matters affecting the two
countries.
Loan May Be Discussed.
Some officials speculated that
among the questions most likely to
come up are the possibility of an
American loan to help finance Mex
icos ambitious industrialization and
road-building program, and the cur
rent epidemic of hoof-and-mouth
disease in Mexico.
These officials said the President
and members of his cabinet have
expressed concern over the Mexican
epidemic's danger to American cat
tie herds.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
is reported to have taken personal
command of the campaign to keep
the epidemic outside the United
States. Mr.. Anderson was in Gal
weston, Tex, yesterday and was said
to be investigating sanitation con-
ditions in the Southwest.
The Agriculture Department was
reported to be preparing .spolicy
statement" and background in
formation on the epidemic. The in
formation will be distributed to
Governors of Western States and to
Congress members investigating the
epidemic and it's dangers to Amer
ican cattle herds.
Details Not Worked Out.
Mr.. Ross said that neither the
exact dates of the trip, nor other
details, have been worked out. He
added, however. that the trip had
been in the works for some time"
Informants in a position to know
said details of the flight were ar
ranged last fall by Secretary of the
Treasury Snyder.
Mr. Snyder discussed the pos
sibility of a presidential trip to
Mexico with President Aleman, who
was then President-e elect, and an in
vitation to Mr.. Truman resulted.
Mr.. Truman has wanted to see
Mexico for a number of years. it
was said. His trip will be the first
such journey to Mexico City by an
American President.
The late President Roosevelt Wis
tied Mexico by train April 20, 1943,
when he met former President
Manuel Avila Camacho at Monterey.

New Sugar Use Law
Needed 10 Save Ration
Plan, 0PA Aide Says
BY The Assoeioted Press

A high OPA official asserted to-
day new legislation covering indus
trial sugar users is necessary if we
are to have any sugar rationing
program at ALL"
Otherwise, he said, OPA will have
no way OF dividing sugar for these
users after about April / even if it
beats of a pending court attack on
its historical use" system.
The official explained the situa-,,
ton this way:
District Court Justice F. Diclin-
son Let's has held the historical
use" method, which is a percentage
Of the l941 base period, invalid in
the case of condensed milk prod
ucts. He ordered OPA yesterday to
set up a new means OF fixing sugar
quotas for that industry.
Discrimination Was Charged.
The finding came in a suit by the
Moberly (Mo.) Milk Co. The firms
attorneys argued that the Mobiliza-
ton and Reconversion Act of 1914
prohibits discrimination against
small business, and that there was
discrimination against the Moberly
firm under the historical use" sys-
tenn.
OPA contended the act does not
apply under present conditions.
The District Court of Appeals
stayed execution on the judgment
and set hearing on OPAs appeal
for February 7. 1t promised a de-
cision by February IA. l.
Rations Must Be Honored.
Meanwhile, OPA's sugar division
announced that its outstanding
rations and any issued before the
Appeals Court ruling, must be
honored by sugar suppliers. This
includes rationS for industrial and
all other consumers.
But OPA itself comedies that the
Mobilization and Conversion Act
will apply to the historical use"
formula when the supply of sugar
for industrial users exceeds the
supply available when the act was
passed.
That point, the OPA official said,
is expected to be reached by April /.
OPA Will Continue Legal Fight.
"The administration will have to
recommend to Congress that sugar
rationing not be bound by the ACT"
he told reporter.
THAT is necessary step if sugar
rationing is to continue. For we
know of no other equitable method
for rationing sugar except with some
form of historical use formula for
industrial users"
Until Congress acts, he said, OPA
will continue the court fight, going
ito the Supreme Court if necessary"
The Second War Powers Act,
under which all sugar is rationed,
expires March 81. However, Repre-
sentative Andersen, Republican, of
Minnesota, of the House Food Study
Committee, says he is convinced the
rationing power must be continued
in some form.

Security Breach Spurs
Secret Senate Hearing
On Atom Commission
BY the Associoisd Press

Senators who heard reports of
serious breaches" in atomic
energy security decided today to
hold secret sessions before vot-
ing on the nominations of six
men to fill this country's top
atomic jobs.
Chairman Hickenlooper Of the
Senate Atomic Energy Committee
told reporters a vote is unlikely
before next week. He had hoped to
end public hearings today, but q
conflict with other committee hear
ings forced 24-hour postponement
of today's hearing
The security leaks were reported
by David E. Lilienthal, President
Truman's choice for chairman of
the Atomic Energy Commission. The
biggest breach" Mr.. Lilienthal con-
ceded under questioning by Senator
Mcmahon, Democrat, of Connecti-
cut, was publication Of the official
Smyth report of the broad techni-
que Of nuclear fission.
Truman Approved Publication
Mr.. Lilienthal said publication of
the report was authorized by Presi-
dent Truman and by Maj. Gen. Les
lie r. Groves, then head of the
Army's Manhattan District which
controlled development of the
atomic bomb.
He added that the report told of
fattr IiHnro1f oil c11nnncSfII1
of splitting the uranium atom.
The witness was noncommital
when Senator Mcmahon asked
whether the report had not brought
other countries year and half or
two years closer to the final result.
Mr.. Lilienthal said publication of
the report in 1945 may have been
necessary" but "it made the chore
of snoring up security a tremen-
dously hard one"
ut is difficult to be temperate in
saying how difficult it has made our
task" he added.
Mr.. Lilienthal agreed with Sem
stor Millikin, Republican, of Col
orado, that possible security leaks
resulting from foreign intelligence
work were a matter of intense in
terest" to him.
Questioning to Continue.
The committee yesterday COM
pleted its examination Of Mr.. Lilien-
thai and three other nominees to
the ommiss1on-Dr. Robert F.
Bacher, Lewis L. Strauss and Sum-
ner T. Pike-but Mr.. Lilienthal was
told to hold himself in readiness
for questioning by Senator McKellar,
Democrat, of Tennessee, dean Of the
Senate and Mr.. Lilienthal's i'm
placable political foe.
Senator McKellar opposed Mr..
Lilienthal throughout his career as
chairman of the Tennessee Valley
Authority and has called him "the
head Communist in my State" SEN
ator McKellar likewise is fighting
the confirmation of Gordon Clapp
as Mr.. Lilienthal's successor on
IVA.
Because both the Lilienthal and
Clapp confirmation hearings were
in progress yesterday the 77-year-
old Tennessee Senator was unable to
get around to quizzing Mr.. Lilien-
thai
The committee had planned to
question William w. Waymack, the
fifth appointee to the commission,
and Carroll Wilson. nominee for
general manager, today.

Georgia House Due
TO Take Final Vote on
White Primary Today
By the Assoeiotsd Press

ATLANTA, Jan. ga final vote
on the white primary bill was likely
today as the House of Representa-
tives resumed unlimited debate or
the Herman Talmadge-sponsorec
measure to bar Negroes from Geor-
gia Democratic primaries.
Talmadge forces yesterday pushed
through section after section o1
the measure designed to void State
control of future primaries.
Speaker Fred Hand ruled "out
of order" substitute bill, Offered
by Representative John Bell Towil
of Richmond County, which would
leave primaries under State contro
but tighten educational qualifica-
tions for voters.
Speaker Hand also ruled "out o1
order" an amendment which woulo
have directed the measure for sig
nature to both claimants of Geor-
gia's disputed governorship - Mr.
Talmadge and 1t. Gov. M. E
Thompson. ..,..
Representative Charles Gowen OF
Glynn, who offered the amendment,
explained 1T would be insurance
that the act would remain law II
Mr.. Talmadge eventually was denied
the governorship by the courts.
The Talmadge-sponsored legisla-
ton, which would make primaries
subject only to party rules, was
designed to circumvent recent Su-
preme Court rulings that Negroes
cannot be excluded from Southern
primaries where nomination is
tantamount to election.

clared: This measure will GER
