Conflict developed today be-
tween the administration and
Capitol Hill over whether the
commodity market break and
accompanying drop in prices
justifies a cut in the Sc, SOC, ,000,-
600 estimate for the first Is
months of the Marshall Plan.
Most observers agreed, however,
it is too early to tell whether the
change in price trend is perma-
nent enough to affect either the
appropriations to be made by Con-
gress or the size of the pending tax
reduction.
Meanwhile, the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee went on with
its daily closed sessions, with sew

Wherry Proposes Cut.
Senator Wherry Of Nebraska, act

first to suglest that the recent
commodity market breaks should
enable the State Department to
scale down its Marshall Plan cost
figures.
Paul H. Mite, deputy director ol
the State Department office of in

however. that price increases in re.

LABOR:
Lewis Fight

John L. Lewis and the Taft-Hart-
ley law were locked in a mortal
struggle.
His United Mine Workers were
still out of the pits in a "volun-
tary" objection to the companies
alleged refusal to provide them with
q $1Oo-a-month pension plan. Most
of the 1000 miners were out fish
ing. Lewis himself was out cunning
for the Taft-Hartley law, enactment
of which was largely the result of
his activities in the first place.
After the miners had gone out,
President Truman, acting under the
Taft-Hartley law, had appointed a
fact-finding board to investigate the
difficulties. But when the board
asked John L. Lewis to testify, he
refused.
Then the board issued a subpoena
requesting that he appear. Again
Lewis refused, stating that the board
had no right to demand his presence
before it.
He said he based his disinclina-
ton to testify on the facts that:
Neither he nor the UNIV had
l. done anything covered by the
Taft-Hartley law, thereby multiplying
the Presidents invocation of the
law, and
- Two of the three board mem
4. bers were CHASED and preju-
diced and in honor should not serve"
Finally, minutes before the dead
line, the burly. bushy-eyebrowed
chief appeared.
It was obvious, of course, that the
UNIV chief was out to break the
Taft-Hartley enactment. Apparent
ly he was determined to drag the
pension dispute all the way through
the courts-preferably as high as the
supreme court to get final verdict.
And any way it turned out, the
process would react for the miners
immediate benefit. While the courts
would be mulling over the matter
the date for the annual renewal OF
the mine workers contract in June
would be approaching. The longer
the present dispute remained unset
tied, the worse the nations coal
situation would grow, thus putting
Lewis in a good bargaining position
to extract a favorable contract for
next year.

Bernard M. Baruch approves OF
selective service and universal mill
tary training for the present quasi
crisis. but he does not think that is
enough to meet all the implications
the world situation holds.
The financier and presidential ad-
wiser called also for an economic
mobilization plan" and said that
Americas failure to muster all its
resources now for peace would leave
mo alternative but to mobilize for
war; in the future.
Baruch told the senate armed serv-

that if the nation suddenly and with

such forces of domestic initiation
would be set in motion as could
blow the country wide open and

It had not been a hidden threat,
but Baruch's statement had focused
attention on the possible danger that
a:sudden spate of military spending
could bring about ruinous imitation.
AS q result, talk Of reviving the
defunct OPA was being heard in

touched off informal discussions in
congress about the possibility OF re-

There had been a lull following

than four widely divergent groups.
Probably the most unique ap-

convention as indisputable evidence
