The American Veterans Com
mittee today recommended res
toration of limited rationing and
price control, but opposed Presi-
dent Truman's companion re-
quest for standby power to con-
troll wages.
Joe Clorety, AVG national secre-
tary, outlined the organizations
views to the Senate Banking Com
mittee.
His proposal clashed sharply with
the ideas of many Republican Con-
gress members on Mr.. Truman's 10
point anti imitation program.
Their attitude was expressed by
Senator Taft, Republican, Of Ohio,
chairman of the Senate Republican
Policy Committee. who said in ad-
vance Of today's hearing that meat
rationing, for example. would revive
black markets and lead to even
higher prices.
ave Resolution Offered.
Among other bills designed to
carry out Mr.. Truman's program,
one by Senator Taylor, Democrat,
of Idaho would restore rationing.
The committee expects to receive
another measure later this week
providing for creation of meat
rationing machinery.
Mr.. Clorety read to the committee
an AVG resolution adopted last fall
which Endorsed virtually all Of the
Presidents program and went a step
further in calling for Government
subsidies to roll back food prices.
Unless drastic steps are taken,
we anticipate a bust" Mr.. Clorety
said, adding that 1t would be pat
termed after the economic collapse
Ct 1929.
Mr.. Clorety declared that "essen-
tial, basic commodities" including
food items and particularly meat,
should be placed under price control
and ,ationing.
STAFF Doubts Rationing VIII Work.
But In response to a question from
Senator Cain, Republican, Of Wash
ington, Mr.. Clorety said, I'VE do not
believe wage controls are necessary"
Senator Taft, setting forth his
position to reporters before the hear
ing, said that while he is not COM
pletely barring rationing or price
controls, he does not think meat
rationing would work.
"You have to set up just as big
an organization to ration one item
as to ration everything" Senator
Taft said.
Recalls Farm Slaughtering.
Besides, meat is the one thing
most susceptible to black market
operations. I am afraid that we
would have a repetition of the time
when cattle were killed widely on
the farms instead of at the slaught-
ering houses, with the hides and
other by-products being lost.
Certainly the people who got beef
through the black markets would
have to pay evenshigher prices for
it than they do now and q great
many people would get practically
none at all"
Schwellenbach to Testify.
The Republican skepticism and
outright opposition came into sharp
focus yesterday when Secretary Of
Agriculture Anderson called afor
meat rationing and wholesale price
ceilings. on meat. He testified before
the Senate Banking Committee,
which is, considering various bills to
re-estab blish these wartime controls.
Secretary Of Labor Schwellenbach
will testify this afternoon.

Boom for Eisenhower
|Wi|I Receive Second
Test in Pennsylvania

4lC 1aASClA44OWCI bOOA W0S
moving into Pennsylvania today
with the Keystone States Draft
Eisenhower League announcing
at Harrisburg that a slate OF
delegates would be entered IN
the presidential primary April ~
for the retiring Army Chief Of
Staff.
The Pennsylvanians acted after
another of1lce-seeking disclaimer on
behalf of Gen. Eisenhower yester-
day which served only to convince a
number of political observers that
the former Allied commander IL
open to presidential draft.
Thus Pennsylvania, with 73 ma
tional convention votes, offers a
possible second testing ground for
the Eisenhower adherents, who
were heartened by the fact that the
Army chief passed up a chance
yesterday to kill off similar move
in New Hampshire.
Gen. Parks Issues Statement.
Gen. Eisenhower refused COM
ment on the New Hampshire de-
velopments, but Maj. Gen. Floyd
L. Parks, head of the Army Public
Information Division, responded to
reporters prodding with this state
ment, issued through regular mill
tary channels:
Gen. Eisenhower will make no
statements with regard to the New
Hampshire primary. He has re-
iterated on many previous occasions
that he wants nothing to do with
politics. He has not changed his
mind"
Politicians quickly noted that
while the general might want te
shun politics" In the ordinary
sense, he made no direct effort tt
discourage those who are going
ahead, admittedly without his con-
sent, with moves to put him in the
presidential race.
Senator Tobey, Republican, OF New
Hampshire, a recent Eisenhower
convert, made it plain that he looks
on the generals omission as leaving
the road open for a campaign to
elect eight Eisenhower-pledged dele
gates in the March Q primary in his
State.
THE generals statement will not
stop the New Hampshire effort to
draft him." Senator Tobey said
This is a sincere movement and
will 60 ahead"
Believes Eisenhower Is Undecided.
A Democratic National Committee
official who didn't want to be identi-
fled by name said that as result
of the Parks statement he thinks
Gen. Eisenhower is flirting" with
the idea of running, but may not
have made up his mind.
Without any claim that the gen
eral knows or approves, Chairman
N. B. Williams, jr., Of the Pennsyl-
vania Draft Eisenhower League said
slate will be filed in that State
to give Republicans there a chance
to demonstrate both to the general
and the party how many are behind
him.
After a county by county check
Of sentiment" Mr.. Williams said
I'VE are convinced that an over
whelming majority Of Republican
voters in the key State of Pennsyl-
vania want Dwight D. Eisenhower
as their candidate for President.
