Speculation Stirred
Anew on Young Plan
To Retire Before June
By John v. Hofner

New !. speculation has been
stirred on Commissioner John
Russell Young's retirement plans
as the result Of a conference his
lawyer held yesterday with two
members Of the Senate District
Crime Investigating Committee.
The lawyer, Daniel B. Maher,
who visited Senator Nicely, Demo-
crat, Of West Virginia and Sem
ator Welker, Republican, of
Idaho. in behalf of the Commis-
sioner, would not reveal what was
discussed.
May Plan Vacation.
Nevertheless, reports circulated
at the Capitol that Commissioner
Young sought information which
would enable him to plan a long
vacation and decide when he
could retire as head OF the Board
Of Commissioners.
His term expires the middle Of
June, but Mr.. Young announced
some time ago he intended to
leave Office before that. He post
poned action. however, when the
crime committee arranged to call
him as a witness in the current in
lvestigation.
The Commissioner was uueS-
toned about his personal finances
lat an executive session of the COM
|mittee last week and is to be re-
called later during public hearings.
Nothing Irregular"
Committee members emphasized
that the testimony last week dis
closed nothing irregular about Mr..
Young's financial transactions.
At that time, Senator Pastore,
Democrat, Of Rhode Island. said
1.-THE committee had no objections
Ito Mr.. Young's taking vacation
because he would not be recalled
soon.
Reliable sources indicate Presi-
dent Truman is ready to nominate
Ia successor to Mr.. Young but that
action was deferred pending his
appearance before the committee.

The National Association Of
Manufacturers today urged Con-

trolS.
William j. Grede Of Milwaukee,

the Defense Production Act con-
tanning the controls provisions be
allowed to elapse on its expiration
date Of June 80. He made these
exceptions:
1. That priorities and alloca-

2. That authority for the Fed

sumner redit-including INSTALL
ment buying and mortgage loans

Mr.. Grede stated the NAM po-
sition in testimony before the

that price and wage controls

said, can only result in duplica-

Balanced Budget Urged.
The only way to eliminate in
flation, Mr.. Grede said, is to cut
