WITH PROGRAM
Congress Challenges FDR On Inflation War Tactics.
WASHINGTON, June 17 (U.P). —The administration moved
three fronts today in its fight to
Y hold the line against inflation.
Price Administrator Prentiss M. rown went ahead with his program to roll back retail meat, but-
|| ter and coffee prices through sub-
sidies despite a challenge by Senator Roebrt A. Taft (R. O.) that he has no legal authority to do so. The defense supplies corporation announced meat subsidies ranging from .95 cent to 1.3 cents a pound, live weight, to reimburse packers for a 10 per cent rollback in retail prices. Releasing Corn
The commodity credit corporation began releasing 10,000,000 bushels of corn it . already holds and planned to acquire still more, even to the extent of seizure, in an effort to break a virtual “freeze” in the corn market without disturbing price ceilings. :
WASHINGTON, June 17 (U.P.). Harold L. Allen, counsel for the house committee investigating executive agencies, today charged that evidence obtained from “secret files” - of David Ginsburg, former general counsel for OPA, indicated OPA h2s “used pricefixing mechanism for the control and redistribution of profits.” The files were obtained by subpena from Ginsburg’s home in ‘West Virginia where Ginsburg had shipped them before his induction into the army last month, Allen said.

These developments came amid increasing signs that neither the administration nor congress is ready or willing to “give” even a little on their opposite views on food, price and rationing problems. President Roosevelt has stated most emphatically that he will not appoint a single food administrator | —a post demanded by congress. Farm state congressmen have hinted that they will “legislate” one.
Loans Are Terminated
The plan fo distribute govern-ment-owned corn and seize additional supplies was revealed by J B. Huston, director of the commodity credit corporation, late yesterday to a meeting of angry corn-state senators, many of whom insisted on a break in corn ceilings. Huston disclosed that. CCC loans on 47,000,000 bushels of the 1942 corn crop are being terminated, requiring growers to pay up by July 15 or surrender the corn. He also said CCC has in mind “requisitioning” at present ceiling prices approximately 25,000,000 bushels of privately-owned corn now stored in grain elevators. Huston admitted that he had no solution for freezing an additional 950,000,000 bushels which farmers are holding to feed their hogs which, at $14 a hundred pounds, nets them more than they could get by selling their corn at present price ceilings. His inability to solve that problem was greeted by renewed demands for a corn price ceiling break. Brown appeared to have been at least partially successful in a daylong session at the capitol yesterday during which ‘he met with two different senate committees. Despite the challenge of his legal authority for roll-back subsidies, Taft began drafting a restrictive measure which would place congressional approval on: , 1. Payment of subsidies to equalize food transportation costs thrown out of balance by the war. 2. Payment of subsidies to encourage mining of strategic metals needed for the war effort, especially ‘at low purchase cost for the government. 3. Allocation of $500,000,000 to carry out the roll-back programs on meat, butter and coffee but require specific congressional authority for any new roll-back programs

APPEAL HINTED IN BALL SUIT
Court Rules Industrialist And Foundation Owe $3,664,316.
By ROGER BUDROW
George A. Ball and the George and Frances Ball Foundation of Muncie are expected to appeal the decision made in federal court here yesterday that they owe 32.004, 316 to Ohio banks. The decision was made by Federal Judge Robert C. Baitzell and may be appealed any time within three months to the circuit court of appeals at Chicago. The judgment, believed to be the largest ever awarded in the federal court here, results from a ican made some years ago by the Muncie millionaire fruit jar manufacturer to the late Van Sweringen brothers of Cleveland, who were attempting to save their vast railroad erapire.
Morgan Called Loans
J. P. Morgan had called some loans he had made to tne Van Sweringens, who were unable to pay him and interested Mr. Ball in advancing the money. The Midamerjca Corp. was formed into which Mr. Ball put $2,000,000. The Van Sweringens had an option to buy within 10 years 55 per cent of the 15,000 shares of Midamerica Corp. at $1 but did not take up the option. Midamerica bought cdntrol of the railroads at auction. Later the Midamerica stock was given to the George and Prances Ball Foundation and later sold to three New York financiers at a reported profit of $6,000,000 to the foundation,
Claimed Share of Profit
The siut revolved about the fact that the Ohio banks, chiefly in Cleveland, claimed the Van Sweringens owed them money which had never been paid and that therefore they were entitled to 55 per cent, or thé Van Sweringen’s share through the option, of the profit the Ball foundation made on the sale. Actually two suits have” been combined in the present action, one against Mr. Ball and one against the foundation, but the judgment is not doubled.

U.S. Per Capita Doubles 1940
WASHINGTON, June 17 (U. P.). —The Office of War Information today issued an analysis of inflation in the United States, pointing out that the present per capita — men, women and children — monthly income is almost double that of 1940. “Price boosts already have taken up a part, though by no means the major part, of the increase,” it said. OWI said that in July 1940 the per capita income was about $47.92 and that in April of this year it was $85.03. Had the average American been called upon to pay April’s per capita war expenses on the spot, it would have taken all but $31.71 of the per capita monthly income. Military expenditures in July, 1940, were only $1.50 per person.
DAIRY LEADERS RAP SUBSIDIES
Indiana Group Holds Cost Will Be Absorbed by Taxpayers.
Dairy leaders in Indiana are ‘“unalterably opposed” to the use of subsidies as a means of controlling commodity prices, following adoption of resolutions here by representatives attending a war problems conference. At closing sessions yesterday in the Claypool hotel, sponsored by the Indiana Manufacturers of Dairy Products association, members attacked the subsidy plan and further stated that since the subsidy program for butter is in effect, payments be made on a weekly instead of a monthly basis,
Cite Expenses
The association, in its resolutions, stated that distribution of a subsidy “will require the use of additional thousands of employees and add additional, burdensome expenses to the dairy industry operations in attempting to carry out a program of questionable economic value,” and described subsidies as “only a means of deferred payment by consumers, who also are taxpayers.” The OPA, “under pressure, has rolled back the price of butter by the- use of a subsidy program” and, the resolution states, “a careful study of this regulation develops that it contains many ambiguous clauses and that it may be construed to mean many things, which construction, if put into effect, may cause serious harm to the butter

BEAUMONT, Tex., June 17 (U. P.) —State militia, who spread their blankets on the city hall last night with their sub-machine guns close at hand, restored order to this Gulf coast shipbuilding center today after 24 hours of race rioting in which a white man and a Negro were killed. . Acting Governor A. M. Aiken Jr. rlaced the city under mariial law last night after 60 Negroes who had been hospitalized and about 100 homes and shops in the Negro dis‘trict had been destroyed in the rioting, which broke out after a young white woman told police she had heen raped by a Negro. ° More than 1000 state guardsmen ‘| came to the aid of Texas Rangers and local peace officérs with the imposition of martial law.

OPA TO CHECK VACATION GAS
Spots Face Queries of
Investigators.
Checking for the illegal use of gas rations, the OPA announced today that inspectors will make a close inspection of vacation spots in Indiana, Ohio,” Michigan, West Virginia and Kentucky in the next few months. The program of checking vacation grounds, such as fishing points in certain parts of the five-state region, was discussed at a meeting
.| of the region’s 14 district OPA direc-
tors in Cleveland, O., last week. Abuses which the OPA will seek most of all are those of supplemental books, where motorists use B or C rations, granted on an occupational basis, for pleasure jaunts far afield from their homes.

Later they will be transferred to the eastern front, ostensibly for additional labor. Then, it was said, the Germans will put pressure on Laval to dee clare war on Russia.
