Hundreds May Have to Wait.
The White House explained that
the regular session of Congress ap-
propriated $1,500,00O for cars for
disabled veterans to meet the needs
through last June 80. But the reg
ular session also extended the time
in which veterans could apply for
cars until next June 30, without
providing extra funds. The White
House said that unless the $5,00O,-
900 is voted by the special session
hundreds of disabled veterans will
have to wait until the next Con-
gress acts before they can get their
cars.
1t estimated that about $3.50
eligible veterans will apply for cars
during the current fiscal year, and
said all available funds were obli-
gated by July 81.
The $4,000 900 appropriation asked
for the Treasury is to establish the
Housing Investment Insurance Fund
in the Federal Housing Administra-
ton to provide equity investment
aids to encourage construction of
rental housing, the White House
said. The additional funds requested
for the Housing and Home Finance
Agency are for administrative ex-
penses in carrying out provisions of
the pending housing legislation.
Work Of Two Praised.
In urging repeal of the Interior
Department Appropriation Act pro-
vision the President, it is said
designed to effect removal of the
Commissioner Of Reclamation and
one of his regional directors because
they are not professionl engineers
He said the two men have vigor-
ously enforced the reclamation law
and the public power policy of the
Government, and who in so doing
have incurred the wrath of power
full special interests. That they
should be arbitrarily legislated out
of Office is Numerically opposed to
the principles on which this Gov
eminent is founded"
Mr. Truman charged that the os-
tensible reason for removing the
two officials has no validity. THE
positions which they occupy are
primarily administrative in char
acter and do not necessarily require
a professional background" he said.

Food Prices Likely 10 Rise
More in Next Few Months

Retail food prices are likely to 60
still higher during the next few
months, the Agriculture Department
said yesterday.
Meats and other livestock prod
ucts will lead the advance.
A department report on the ma
tional food situation said two fac
tors appear likely to push prices
higher: Cd Record consumer buy
ing power, and 90 a decline in the
output of meats and other livestock
products.
Because Of the rising prices and
relative scarcity OF some items, the
amount of food consumed by the
average person during the re-
mainder Of the year Is expected to
be slightly below levels Of the past
two years. Nevertheless. the amount
will be high compared with prewar
averages, when there was less buying
power.

as it's "rollback" goal, but Senator
Barley amended this to make the
goal the level of prices on August l
of this year.
He said his aim was to keep
prices from going up further" ex-
planning that it is difficult if not
impossible to roll back prices. He
pointed out the change does not
freeze prices at the August l level
but merely gives the President au-
thority to set ceilings at their level.
The Republican bill, it appeared
today, will amount to granting Presi-
dent Truman one full point of the
eight he requested-consumer credit
controis-and part of a second
bank reserve raises All the rest
price controls, rationing authority,
ALLEGATIONS powers, stronger rent
controls, standby wage controls and
regulations of commodity exchanges
were swept into the waste basket
almost as fast as the President out
lined his program to Congress in
the joint session u days ago.
New Blast at Congress Seen.
Final passage of the bill will pose
something of problem for the
President. There have been reports
he might veto the measure on the
grounds it is useless to control in
fation. On the other hand, if his
advisers consider the consumer
credit and bank reserve provisions
sufficiently important, they may ask
him to sign it. In either case, Mr..
Truman may be expected to issue
another blast at the Republican,
controlled Congress for failure to
adopt his program.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, Of
Arkansas offered the oleomargarine
tax repeal measure as an amend
ment to the bill, but Republican
leaders indicated it will be thrown
out on the point of order that 1t is
not germane.
Senator Fulbright can appeal from
such a ruling, however, and force a
test vote on the measure, which
already has passed the House, but
has never come to a Senate floor
vote.

By the Assoeiotsd Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. T.
E. H. Crump steadfastly refused
comment today as tallying Of
final ballots made even more
complete his defeat in Thurs
days Tennessee primary cleo
tions.
With 2,017 of approximately 1880
precincts in, an unofncial count of
the heaviest primary vote in the

by vote of 2l4,465 to 160,142 for
Jim McCord, Crump-backed incum-
bent.
With 1924 precincts tailed, Rep
resentative Kefauver had won the

votes to 117,787 for Senator Stewart
and 1886 for John Mitchell,
Crump-indorsed judge.

An unofficial count of all 1875 pre-

This has kept nearly TOO Danubian

Russia but for the other six Com.
