Senate Probers Get RFC Dutu

subcommittee investigating the
Reconstruction Finance Corp, a
subcommittee official said yester-
day.
The subcommittee some time

about those loans but plans no

RFC approved about SO million

Real estate and manpoWer
scouts are keeping the telephone
wires humming these days as a
result of the Governments decen-
tralization program.
There is no conflict between the
two-the real estate people want
the homes of Federal workers who
might be leaving Washington, and
the manpower hunters want to
latch on to workers desiring to re-
main here.
But competition within the
ranks of each has been sharp
since the announcement a few
days ago that 5.183 Federal-ites
would be affected when their jobs
are transferred elsewhere.
Things began popping soon
after The Star published inter-
views with many who vowed they

Markups for Groceries Far r-Reaching Search
And Food Professors For Government Reds
Will Be Fixed by OPS Begun by Senators
Story Wilson Dictated
Wage Policy Is Lie,
Johnston Declares
By james Y. Newton

Price Director Michael v. Di-
Sale last night had about COM
pleted work on two control orders
designed to check, and. in some
instances, roll back the advancing
prices of food and other important
living cost items.
On another part of the controls
front, Economic Stabilizer Eric
A. Johnston branded as a 'flie"
the "rumors" circulated by labor
union leaders that Mobilization Di-
rector Charles E. Wilson dictated
wage control policy to the Wage
Sterilization Board.
The first new food price order
will fix ceiling prices for retail and
wholesale grocers. The Office of
Price Sterilization expects to is
sue it this week. A second order,
applying to manufacturers and
food professors, probably will be
issued next week.
Specific Margins Set.
Retail and wholesale growers
will be given specific margins by
which they may mark up the SELL
ing price of food over what they
actually pay for it. Ceilings will
be set by geographic areas for four
different types of retail groceries,
ranging in size from the small
corner store to the big chains and
super markets.
Officials said the size of the
price markups will be set by the
OPS and not by the merchants
themselves, as is the case in the
recent order covering nearly all of
the retail goods other than food.
1t is believed that large reductions
can be obtained in the markups
now being tackled on by many
grocers.
In the case of the control order
for manufacturers and food pro-
cessors, the base period to be used
in setting ceilings will be the
month just before the start of the
Korean war last June. They will
be allowed to add to the pre-
Korea prices only the actual in
creases in costs. And the manu-
facturer and professor must sup
ply OPS with proof that their
costs have risen.
May Squeeze Some Merchants.
Mr.. Disable admits the orders
may squeeze some merchants and
manufacturers. But he says the
orders should eliminate the prof.
teering some businesses have en-
gagged in the last nine months.
Both orders will replace the

Whether Mrs. Young Still Holds
White House Job Is Puzzle
Reports Of Firing Are
First Confirmed
And Then Denied

Does Mrs. E. Merl Young. the
stenographer with a $9,450 mink
coat, still have her White House
job?
Confused reporters decided last
night that the answer depends on
whom you talked to last.
The last answer to come from
Key West, Fla, where President
Truman is on vacation, is that
she's staying on the job.
But there was this confusing
series of events:
Representative Keating, Repub-
lican of New York, told a radio
audience he had heard" that
the President has fired Mrs.
Young. whose fur coat deal
caused raised eyebrows at the
Senate inquiry into Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corp. affairs.
Newspapers and press associa-
tons Immediately telegraphed
their reporters with Mr.. Truman
at Key West to check this report.

McCorron Subcommittee
To Do Most Of Its Work
In Closed Sessions
By Joseph Young

A new and far-reaching search
for Communists in the Govern
ment and armed forces has been
started by the Senate Internal
Security subcommittee, it was dis
closed last night.
Committee members predicted
that the inveStigation-to be con-
Quoted largely in secret-would be
the most fruitful" yet under
taken by any committee in Con-
gress to uncover subyersives in
Federal positions.
The subcommittee is part of the
Senate Judiciary Committee. It
was organized last month. Chair
man McCarran of the committee
also is chairman of the security
subcommittee.
Several units have been estab-
lished within the subcommittee to
delve into subversive activities,
Senator Eastland, Democrat, of
Mississippi is heading the unit in
vestigating possible Communists
in Government and in the mill
tary forces.
Senator O'Conor, Democrat. of
Maryland heads the group that
will investigate penetration by
Communist agents from abroad.
Legislative Maginot Line"
Senator O'Conor declared:
THE evidence which we have
thus far accumulated establishes
beyond any doubt that the Com
munist network in the United
States is inspired, organized, con-
trolled and directed in large part
by those foreign agents who are
sent here under diplomatic i'm
munity and who are working
feverishly to destroy us.
so cunning are the tactics with
which the Communists in this
country are constantly seeking new
avenues of expression and escape
from detection that one might
wish it were possible for us to
build a Legislative Maginot line
to protect the American people
from Communist activity"

troop commitments to Western
Europe until both branches of
Congress authorize the commit

Truman Is Worried
Over Efforts TO Curb
His Military Power
Reported Concerned
Over Effect on Defense
And Atlantic Allies

UT SUSSPH N TVN
Stor Stoff Correspondent

KEY WEST, Fla, Mar. TO-
President Truman and top ad-
viserS are worried over budding
congressional efforts to tie the
administrators hands on the size
of the United States armed forces
and the sending of troops to
Europe, it developed today as Mr..
Truman passed the first lap of his
contemplated three week work =
and-rest visit here.
They are bothered, it was re-
ported reliably, not so much by
the proposed curbs themselves. as
by their effect on the North At
lantic Pact allies. and on the de-
fense program at home. Strenuous
efforts will be made to remove
them.
Two moves in the Senate this
week caused the trouble. First wa;
the action OF the Senate Armed
Forces and Foreign Relations
Committees, in adopting a reso-
luton to the effect that Mr.. Fru-
man should consult with Senate
and House before sending to
Europe more troops than the four
divisions tentatively planned. Sec
ond was Senate action yesterday
in adopting a 4-million-man CELL
ing on the size of the armed forces
which military chiefs have warned
would be a gamble with the Ma
tion's security" and an aid to Rus
Sia.
Neither Move Is Final.
Neither move, of course, is yet
final. The resolution on Con-
gressional approval" of dispatch
of troops abroad only continues
a long-standing running fight be-
tween the President and Con-
gresisonal foes, and is still subject
to ratification by the Senate and
House.
The Senate ceiling" written
into the new manpower bill, must
also gain House approval. q.
According to some sources, ad-
ministration officials believe that
these moves would tend to dampen
the ardor of Atlantic Pact nations
for the rearming program, and
also might have a bad psychology
ical effect on the people at home
by leading them to think that the
necessities of the situation are not
so great as they have been por-
trayed.
President Truman plans his first
meeting with the press since leav-
ing Washington, sometime next
week, and will have the opportun-
ity, if he so desires, of making
known how strongly he feels about
the matter. He is expected to
take it up also on Monday, at the
