issue to get votes. He said the
Presidents spokesman, Paul A.
Porter, former OPA head, has pre-
scented only a vague, half-baked
plan for Government price fixing
and rationing."
The Republican bill, he said,
would laid very noticeably in arrest
ing the Truman imitation and high
prices" if administered properly.
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder,
on the other hand. said the Repub-
lican time payment curbs would
not do much good because the
Government probably couldn't set
up the program before it expires,
The bill would end the authority
next March IS although there ap-
peared q possibility the Senate may
extend the time until June 80.
There has been talk at the Capt.
tol that President Truman might
veto the Republican bill. Repre-
sentative Patman, Democrat, Of
Texas suggested this possibility, but
there has been no definite word
from the White House. A veto
would mean no anti-inf1ation leg
islation this session.
Two Republican Senators, mean
while, had things to say about the
high cost of living.
Senator Young of North Dakota
said one of the chief reasons for
high meat prices is that the ad-
ministration asked farmers to cut
production year ago.
THE farmers compiled with these
regulations" the Senator said, land
as a result we are now short Of
meat and consequently prices have
risen"
Senator Capehart Of Indiana, who
has been pushing a general price
wage freeze plan, received a letter
from President Truman saying the
President was glad to know that you
indorse the principle of price control
in this inflationary economic situa-
ton"
But the Senator Immediately said
the Presidents letter reveals Mr..
Truman lis interested only in police
State methods of dealing with the
economic problems of this Nation"

ton unit show that the analysis was
taken at 10 am.
Corporation Counsel West told
reporters today he had discussed
Judge Raedy's accusations with Mr..
King and Mr.. Brophy last night, but
that he had not demanded full
report from them, pending Judge
Raedy's reply to his letter.
Fails To Understand Delay.
He said he could not understand
why 1t was that urinalysis was
not made Immediately in the Dab
ney case. He said it is the practice
of the Police Department to make
the analysis at the precinct where
the prisoner is booked.
He said that, in his opinion, Mr..
Brophy had no choice in nolle pross-
ing the case against Mr.. Dabney.
since the test showed the content of
alcohol below the limit of intoxi-
cation set by medical authority.
Speaking of the test in general,
Mr.. West said he feels the system,
as it has been established by thS
corporation counsels ONCE works
very we'll.
He pointed out that there is no
section of the District code which
requires that a urinalysis be taken,
or that the line Of intoxication be
set at OILS Of l per cent. He said,
however, that he is considering
drawing up a bill for submission to
the commissioners which would
make voluntary urinalysis showing
concentration of more than OILS
of l per cent a illegal presumption
of drunkenness"
Would Make Test Binding.
He said that this would make the
urinalysis binding on the court and
all legal authority. The courts con-
sideration of a urinalysis now rests
on the opinion of medical authority,
he said. -. 90,
Mr.. King yesterday denied en-
phatically that the Corporation
Counsers Office shows favoritism in
prosecuting drunken driving cases.
Il can say, without reservation,
that the. Corporation Counsel's Of
fice has never failed to prosecute
when test has shown an alcoholic
content of more than OILS of i per
cent" Mr.. King said. I'VE have
never prosecuted-and I'm speaking
Of the time since Tue been down
here-where a urinalysis showed a
concentration of less than OILS of
per cent. -
Mr.. King pointed out that COM
petent medical authority has ruled
that q person with more than OILS
of 1 per cent concentration is def
nitely under the influence OF
liquor"
Judge Raedy's accusation against
the Corporation Counsel's office
came at the close Of a bench con-
ference called during the drunken
driving trial Of Okey Leonard
Payne, 80, of 1916 Monroe street
NV. 1t was made in tones audi
BILE to many persons in the court
room.
Mr.. Brophy, VINO was prosecut-
ing the case against Payne, was
asked by Judge Raedy why the
Corporation Counsel's office had
dropped a previous drunken driving
case. She told Mr.. Brophy
urinalysis had showed an alcoholic
content of IL Of per cent IA hours
after the accused mans arrest.
It was at this point that Judge
Raedy made the statement that
the Corporation Counsel's office
showed favoritism in the prosecu-
ton of drunken driving cases.

Washington, London and Paris tt
their ENJOYS reports of the Stain
talks were kept secret.
It has been reliably reported
however, that Mondays meeting
with Mr.. Stain dealt with the
Berlin situation and East-West diff.
ferences in Germany generally.
Francois Seydoux, political ano
diplomatic adviser to the French
military governor in Germany, hao
joined the three-power talks here
This would indicate that Berlin
figures prominently in the negotia-
tions.
Announcement that Belgian Pre-
mier Paul-Henri Spaak is going to
London today to confer with British
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
strengthened belief in British circles
that the six-power agreement or
Western Germany Is a focal point
In the Moscow talks.
Belgium is one Of the six coun-
tries which agreed with Britain, the
United States, France. the Neither
lands and Luxembourg several
months ago to establish West
German government.
Delay in forming such a govern
ment would complicate plans fol-
incorporating Germany into the
European Recovery Program.
Soviet Demand Anticipated.
A British Foreign once spokes-
man said yesterday he had nothing
to add" to last weeks statement that
the agreement is being swiftly i'm
plemented."
Before the Moscow talks, British
officials anticipated that Russia was
almost certain to demand shelving
of the West German government
plan as a price for lifting the Ber-
lin blockade.
In turn, British leaders have de-
clared that lifting Of the blockade
is q condition for the opening OF q
four-power conference on ending
east-west differences in Europe.
British officials said they expect
it will be early next week before the
Moscow talks have gotten fal
enough to discover whether such q
conference is likely to develop.
