litical conclusion" It could bring

with no salvation to Europe"
In his second major foreign
policy speech in recent weeks. Mr..
Hoover urged emphasis on pro-
duction of planes, ships and NUM-
tions and sending Of supplies to
nations doing their utmost to
defend themselves.
| He proposed that Chang Kai-
shek be freed "to do what he wishes
to China and that the United
States furnish him with NUM-
tions."
| His address, broadcast national
ly, seemed to modify somewhat his
widely debated Gibraltar" speech
of six weeks ago.
But the 76-year-old Hoover in
no way repudiated his basic thesis
that America should strengthen
itself, and its ocean perimeters. as
the safest means of averting dis
aster.
He said, however, that I'VE should
be prepared to make heavy sac
rifices" to helf free nations.
Urges Reduced Spending.
But we should do it with COM
mon sense, within our strength,
with a long view of history in
mind"
Declaring that the Nation
cannot sustain for long a budget
of $71.6 billions and the tax
load it demands, he urged reduc-
ton of national spending Ito a
level we can carry over a long
term Of years"
"The economic destruction o.
the United States is one Of the
means by which Stain hopes to
overcome u.s." he said.
| He declared it was an "unbear-
able strain on our economic
system" to try simultaneously to
maintain armies in the Pacific.
build an air and naval forces,
arm free nations and send land
armies to Europe.
"The whole Korean tragedy Is
developing proof that the way TO
punish aggressors is from the air
and sea and not by land armies" !"
he said.
Calls Air Threat Deterrent.
Opposing the creation of land
armies for expeditions into the
quicksands of either Europe or
China" Mr.. Hoover said that
Stalin's greatest hope is to get
us into a land war"
Instead of great armies, he
maintained that air and naval
power, "if large enough, is
Europe's real protection"
If the Europeans are attacked"
he said. I'VE should be prepared
and use such overwhelming air
and naval power to the limit
and keep it up until they (the
Russians) have had enough"
He said Americas air threat
has been during four years the
most powerful deterrent to any
attack on Western Europe"
''It is far more powerful than
pouring American divisions into
the reach of this Asiatic horde"
he added.
After Mr.. Hoover's previous
speech, his proposals were called
isolationism by President Tru-
man. But as before, Mr.. Hoover
denied this, saying:
II am not advocating isolation
ism, but If other nations should
fail. we may be isolated by force
of circumstances and against our
will"

S|aughfering Controls
Called First Big Step in
Barring Black Market

The Office of Price Stabiliza-
tion today has taken the first step
to prevent black market in meat
and to assure an even supply OF
meat to consumers under price
controls
Price Director Michael v. Di-
Sale issued an order imposing
tight controls on the slaughter OF
livestock and the distribution OF
meat cuts in the various levels of
the trade.
He said that his price agency
believes that this will be a big
step toward preventing black
market operations in meat which
developed on a wide scale and
helped break down the entire price
control program at the. close OF
World War II.
Licensing System Ordered.
Mr.. Disable introduced a licens-
ing system for livestock slaugh-
terers requiring all firms in the
business except small on-the-farm
operators to register with OPS by
March Is.
In addition, Mr.. Disable set up
a quota system restricting the
slaughter of meat to quotas cor
responding to what the Slaugh-
terers killed during the past year,
No new outfits can enter the
slaughtering business unless they
can make a showing that their
entry is essential to meeting a
specific community need.
These regulations are designed
to prevent the establishment of
fly y-by-night slaughtering firms
such as were set up in the last
war to supply the black market
in meats.
All slaughterers including farm
ers also are required to stamp and
otherwise identify all cuts of meat.
This, OPS said will enable retailers
and meat markets to make sure
their purchases do not come from
the black market.
Officials said that after April |,
the deadline for the slaughtering
and distribution controls, retailers
should not purchase any cuts
which do not bear the identifying
stamp Of the slaughterer.
A little later, the price agency
plans to issue another regulation
which it hopes will assure a steady
flow of meat to retail markets.
It will forbid slaughterers and
wholesalers from selling to any
retailer more than the amount OF
meat he normally supplied during
the past year.
Determined to Bar Black Market
1--WE are determined to keer
meat out of the black market
Mr.. Disable said in announcing
the new regulation. And to see
that steaks, pork chops and roasts
continue to be available in all Sec
tions of the country at fair
price. We believe the slaughtering
control is a big step in that direc-
ton"
Two weeks ago the price of all
meats were frozen at all levels
of distribution above the farm.
OPS is still working on a regu-
lation which will bring livestock
sales at the farm level under price
control. 1t will also issue more
specific dollars and cents ceilings
for cuts of meat at the slaughter
wholesale and retail levels.

AO 44OOoO SAA~<1AAAC4 4NdA AC~
tivities Committee has tentatively
decided to call Edward G. Robin
son, the film star, back for more
questioning. Some committee
members indicated another gen.
eral search for Communist in
huence in Hollywood may be In
the making.
Meanwhile, the Senate's new
subcommittee for investigation Of
un-American activities announced
it has Subpoenaed several thou
sand documents belonging to the
Institute of Pacific Relations. a
target Of charges last year by
Senator Mccarthy. Republican.
of Wisconsin.
The House committee did not
say why an informal under
standing" was reached at a closed
door session yesterday to recall
Mr.. Robinson. He appeared vol
unfairly before the committee
December 81 to swear he had
never been Communist or in any
way disloyal. The committee
subsequently announced he had
been cleared"
Many Protests Reported.
In Hollywood yesterday Mr..
Robinson repeated that he is not
and never has been a Communist
or Communist sympathizer de
spite unfounded and irresponsible
rumors to that effect" He added,
Il have no hestitancy in placing
myself at the disposal of the COM
mittee until they are completely
satisfied on every score"
Committee members said the
Robinson case was brought UP in
yesterdays organizational meet
ing by Representative jackson,
Republican, of California. Earlier
this week. Mr.. Jackson told re-
porters the committees function
is not to "clear" any one and pro-
tested the groups action on Mr..
Robinson.
1t is understood that Mr.. Jack
son has received a considerable
amount of mail from his district
protesting the committees clear
ance" Of MIR. Robinson. The Con-
gresham, incidentally, told re-
porters he wanted it understood
he was not a member of the
committee last session when the
movie star appeared.
Representative Kearney, Repub-
lican, of New York. said the COM
mittee should "go into Hollywood
generally" as it did in protracted
hearings in 1947. Representative
Walter, Democrat, of Pennsyl-
vania said lit will inevitably come
to that"
A spokesman for the Senate Un-
American Activities Subcommittee
said the Institute of Pacific Rela-
tions files had been taken because
they were relevant to the scope
Of the groups inquiry. The files
were taken from a barn near Lee,
Mass.
Senator Mccarthy charged in
a Senate speech last year that
Soviet intelligence has taken
over" the institute. Democratic
members of a Senate group which
investigated the Mccarthy charges
called them baseless, while Re-
publicans refused to sign the
groups report.
In New York, the institutes
secretary general. William Hol-
land, said the institute had no
objections to its files being seen
by ANY properly accredited
agency provided they are used
fairly" He said they had already
been studied by the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation.
