.FIeishman Warns
OF Damaging Effects
To Defense by Strike

A steel strike at this time will
have immediate and damaging"
effects on the defense effort, De-
Tense Production Administrator
Manly Freshman has warned.
In a press conference yesterday,
Mr.. Fleishman said anything his
agency could do in case of a steel
strike would have "only a tenn
porary effect" He added that it
would stave of the troubles for a
short time only and the effects of
the strike would be damaging i'm
mediately.
He pointed out that a freeze on
all construction would not produce
any steel useful to the defense
effort, since all structural steel is
cut. to order.
To back up his point, he said
that steel plate, for instance, is
being sent to defense factories
literally plate by plate" as it is
produced. Production of tanks and
ships would be affected imme-
diately by a strike, he said.
Mr.. Fleishman said the DPA has
a plan drawn up in case of a steel
strike. This would involve one
order. he explained. and that
would be designed to get whatever
steel was on hand to defense in
dustries.
But that would be a minor
thing" he added.
Mr.. Fleishman and Henry H.
Fowler, administrator of the Ma
tional Production Authority, also
announced changes in the regula-
tons designed to speed the flow of
materials and component parts
needed for military, Atomic Energy
Commission and vital machine
tool production. Under the action,
parts and materials for those parts
needed in such production will be
accorded the same preference as
the aircraft. tanks, guns and other
end-products in which they are
used.

LONDON. April Prime Min
lister Churchill's Conservative gov
eminent early today defeated an
attempt by the Labor opposition
to head of an increase in the
price Of government-produced
steel.
The vote, on a Labor motion
protesting a $11.20 per ton in
crease, was 206 against the mo-
ton to 174 for it. The price was
formerly $98 a ton.
Supply Minister Duncan San
dys said the price boost was nec-
essary to compensate for an
annual increase of about $21O
million in the annual cost of i'm
ported steel and scrap. Mr..
Sandys said the nationalized steel
industry could not absorb this out
of its gross profits Of $16S mil

Hebert Committee
Lauds Admiral for
|CafaIoguing Plans

A retired admiral won q House
subcommittee praise today as "a
knight in shining armor" when he
promised firm and final decisions
in making the Army. Navy and
Air Force conform strictly to a
standard catalog Of items they
buy.
The Armed Services Subcom-
|mittee, investigating waste In
military purchasing methods. said
LIT still seeks "the phantom of the
|Pentagon," ;" the official or officials
responsible for long delay on a
joint plan for purchasing clothing.
Such q plan was agreed on last
August by procurement officers of
the various military services and
finally came up for consideration
at a Munitions Board meeting
today.
Has Adequate Authority.
The subcommittee commended
Rear Admiral Joseph w. Fowler,
who came out Of retirement last
November to direct a project for
|cataloguing and standardizing
items used by the armed forces.
Admiral Fowler told the subcom-
|mittee he was convinced he had
adequate authority to complete
the project and also TO see that
the individual services abided
by 1t.
The uhcommittee, headed by
Representative Hebert, Democrat,
|of Louisiana, has been particu-
larly concerned by what Is de-
|scribed as a chamber Of horrors
concerning numerous items which,
although identical, had been pur-
chased at different prices and
listed in different ways by the
services.
Admiral Warned.
Reporting substantial progress
in preparing the single catalogue
Admiral Fowler cited an instance
where approximately zoe, 900 item
descriptions are now being used
IN the buying Of lumber by the
separate services. He declared he
would be disappointed If the
number of such items could not be
cut SO per cent before the end OF
this year.
Chairman Hebert, In praising
him as "a knight in shining ar
NOR" especially for his eagerness
to accept official responsibility
nevertheless warned Admiral
Fowler that 1--WE certainly are GO
ing to hold you to account but we
hope that your promises won't
come back to haunt you like
Banquo's ghost"
Admiral Fowler's only real diff
ference Of opinion with the SUBJ
committee today was In his ex-
PLANTATION that the existing dupli-
cation and waste in military buy
ing could not be blamed on the
negligence" Of anybody. He con-
tended that the system itself was
lat fault and was developed dur
ing many years when the military
services bought most Of their ma
terial without consulting one
another.
Pentag0n Praised, Blamed.
Representative Doyle, Democrat
lof California. and several other
members said they could not
agree with that. They main
tanned that the services, even be-
fore unif1cation. Should not have
fallen into such q Quagmire ot
waste"
