Forrestal is expected to study in the
light of information he obtained
from American officials abroad.
President Truman has ordered
that the military budget be kept
within $14,4O0,000,000, but some
officials have expressed doubt that
such q limit can be kept if the mill

Therefore, defense officials have
drawn up two budgets-one for $14,-

plain to dealers that unfair prac-
tices" will not be tolerated.

fA0 Farm Program
Labeled Impractical
By Czech Delegate
by MolcoIm lamborne, Jr.

The United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization, holding
its fourth annual conference in the
Shoreham Hotel, today was crit
icized by the Czechoslovakian dele
gate for being overly critical Of his
country's farming activities.
Speaking before Commission I,
studying world food problems, Otto
Passer Of Czechoslovakia also stated
that FAO's agricultural programs
are TOO academic" and not prac-
tical.
Mr.. Passer noted that his Gov
ernment's two-year rehabilitation
program had failed agriculturaHy,
but had been successful on the in
dustrial side. Discussing the pres
ent Czech f1ve-year plan, the dele
gate said his country had hoped for
great success, and he termed the
plan an excellent" one.
Prefer Site in Europe.
French and Czech delegates, ad-
dressing a second commission, ex-
pressed preference for selecting a
site in Europe as permanent home
for FAC. Both cited the currency
problem as being lesser one on
the Continent than in the United
States.
Earlier Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan disclosed that he had in
formed a standby committee of the
old International Wheat Council
that the time is ripe for new talks
on an international wheat agree
ment.
The Eightieth Congress failed to
act on an agreement drawn up last
March by 36 nations. The pact
died after other nations took their
cue from the United States, and
failed to muster the requisite num-
Der of signatures.
Formal Bid Next Step.
Since the November elections,
however, Mr.. Brannan has heard
from Charles F. Wilson of Canada,
chairman of an eight-nation pre-
paratory committee that was set up
last July to keep the idea of a
wheat agreement alive.
This committee left up to the
United States the extending of an
invitation to start new discussions.
Mr.. Brannan expressed his views to
MIR. Wilson, and the next step is a
formal invitation through the State
Department.

also visited the cave-in today. He
said no death certificates would be
issued until after an inquest to be
set later.
Desperate efforts Of firemen and
policemen failed to save the two
boys, who had left their nearby
homes after dinner for some fun
at the cave. Six or seven neigh
borhood children, with typical en-
thusiasm for caves and forts, had
been busily digging the holes since
Sunday.

covered their plight about 10 pm.

gan arriving 10 minutes after they
were summoned, and rescuers dug
into the sandy soil with picks and
shovelS.
The faint glow Of . hashlight
coming from the earth, buried with
the boys, gave q clue to the sad
discovery to come.
At about 1890 they brought out
the Whalen boy and began admin
istering oxygen. They worked in the
lights of the ambulances and trucks,
while a growing crowd OF neighbors
gathered around, their silence broken
only by sobs from the relatives.

They worked over the Whalen
boy until his companions body was
found about II pm, II feet back
in the embankment.
Then an ambulance carried the
victims to Casualty Hospital while
relatives and friends trailed IN cars
rolling slowly over the rough sur
face of the ittle-used street. Rescue
squadsmen and hospital attendants
tried In vain for 80 minutes after
they reached the hospital to restore
life to the boys.
Brother Happens on Scene.
A newspaper photographer cover
ing the tragedy drove up with a
friend, a Health Department am
bulance driver, who was of duty,
willing away the time.
The ambulance driver was James
O'Donnell, 26, brother of Francis,
and like the others he stood help
lessly by while the rescuers worked.
Mrs. Nancie F. Dennis, aunt of
John Whalen, said the boys went to
the cave about 7:30 pm, taking
lanterns. They had been cautioned
about the treacherous earth, and
John had promised to play only on

But ne SAID the prOHCS properly were
being "ploughed back" into business
to stabilize the economic position of
this section of industry. He "em-
phatically denied" that discounts
established by the factories were
sufficient to allow dealers to take a
loss on used cars"
Mr.. Vanderzee said the Hudson
manufacturers had been fearful
more than a year ago that there
might be something like black
market" operations because of the
new Hudson model. The manufac-
turers, therefore, he said. began
early last year to protect against
this by enunciating a fair trade
policy which, 1t had been thought,
was subscribed to 100 per cent by
the affiliated retail dealers.
Legal Questions Involved.
He said there were legal questions
about controls manufacturers might
have over their dealers under dis
tributor contracts which left the
retail agents as independently
owned operators.
On this question, Mr.. Macy later
told reporters, manufacturers were
not altogether in a position to deal
with things 'as they like" Parent
companies, he added, apparently are
fearful of the antitrust law"
Few Complaints Received.
Mr.. Vanderzee said his belief that
complaints developed at the sub
committee hearings were not typi-
cal was based on the relatively
few" complaints received by his
company. John T. M. Reddan, sub
committee counsel, interjected that
the Hudson manufacturer, prior to

cefved no complaints about the
