Il Aides Of Mr.. Disable are said
to fear such an arrangement will

to crack down ON violators hard
and quickly lest the whole en-
forcement program get out OF
hand.
Issuance of the slaughtering or
der was understood to be awaiting
only the approval of Mr.. Disable,
AS outlined in advance, the reg
ulation would outlaw slaughtering
by any person who lacks license,
thereby discouraging the entry of
f1y-by- night operators into the
business of furnishing animals
for black market distribution.
The device also can be used,
as it was under OPA, to compel
meat packers to follow their nor
NAL pattern of deliveries across
the country. Under price control,
the tendency is to sell near home.

Eastern cities as New York and

Capehart Wants Vote
By Full Committee

Senator Capehart. Republican
of Indiana, said today the full
Senate Banking Committee should
decide whether to investigate a
dispute over Government financial
policy in which President Truman
and the Federal Reserve Board
figure.
Senator Capehart urged a conf
mittee meeting on the matter be-
cause of an announcement by one
of the members, Senator Robert
son, Democrat. of Virginia, that
there will be no committee inquiry
at this time into an argument
dealing with interest rates on
Government securities.
Senator Robertson made the an
nouncement late yesterday after
conferring with Treasury and Fed
eral Reserve Board officials and
talking separately with Chairman
Maybank of the Banking COM
mittee.
After a meeting of the commit
tee Monday Senator Maybank said
the group directed Senator Rob-
ertson to look into the dispute and
decide whether public hearings
should be held.
Told of Senator Robertson's ie-
cision against hearings, Senator
Capehart, member of the Rob-
ertson subcommittee, declared:
This is too far-reaching a
matter to be left to the decision
of one man. I feel the whole
Banking Committee should pass
onathe question of whether there
is going to be an investigation.
Il don't know whether one is
warranted but it ought to be fully
discussed by the committee"

Truman Sees Hoover
On Proposed | ! Grant
OF Grain 10 India
BY The Associated Press

President Truman called ir
former Republican President Her.
bert Hoover this afternoon tc
tseek his advice--and support or
| a proposed grant of 2smillion tons
OF grain to India
India asked for the grain be-
cause of q famine Threat. The
administration wants to grant it
But the chance of winning con-
gressional approval has been hurt
by Indian Prime Minister Nehru,s
friendship for Communist China
Mr.. Hoover,s support for a grain
grant would strengthen the adj
|ministration's plea to Congress
That plea is expected to be based
on the argument that to prevent
starvation in India would not
mean approval or disapproval OF
Nehru's government.
Impressive Staff Gathers.
Mr.. Truman assembled an i'm
pressive staff of cabinet men,
bers and their experts for his
meeting with Mr.. Hoover. They
included Secretary of State
Acheson, Assistant Secretary
George McGhee, Secretary OF
Agriculture Brannan and ECA
Director William Foster.
A touch of drama was given to
today's conference by the fact that
while President Truman and for
mer President Hoover have worked
together on some great undertak-
ings-notably famine relief and
Government reorganization-they
have been sharply divided on the
question Of how the United States
should build defenses against the
threat Of Communist aggression
Mr.. Hoover has urged that
American aid for the nations OF
Western Europe be based on evi-
dence Of their ability to defend
themselves and United States pol
icy be directed toward creating a
Gibraltar In the Western Hemi-
sphere.
Hoover Speaks Friday.
Mr.. Hoover is scheduled to make
another speech Friday at 9 to $50
pm. over the Mutual Broadcast
ing System on the subject. 4We
Should Revise Our Foreign Pol
ICY"
There was no doubt that admin
istration leaders would be greatly
pleased If. at a minimum, today's
conference prompted Hoover to
support a grant of grain to India,
and, at a maximum, if there could
be narrowing of the gap between
the administration and one of its
principal Republican critics on
foreign policy.
Administration officials expect
Mr.. Truman to send the grain pro-
posal to the Capitol on Thursday,
He is expected to ask a grant Of
around 5000 million to cover the
cost OF Q million tons of wheat
