Third Meeting

This was the third meeting in Africa of the President and Eisenhower. Mr. Roosevelt, en route to his Cairo and Tehran conferences with Churchill, Soviet Premier

simo Chiang Kai-shek, was met by Eisenhower at Oran. They proceeded to Tunis together, and the President continued his journey to Cairo by air. According to. the dispatch, the President sent a plane to allied headquarters to bring the general to Cairo while the conferences were in progress, and Eisenhower joined the staff talks. Evidently a number of decisions were reached while he was not in attendance and Mr. Roosevelt told him about them when he got to Carthage,

The bill passed the house By 278-117-—enough to insure overriding a veto—-but consumer committee members say the vote will be different next time. IN THAT EVENT, congress will have to consider another extension of the Commodity Credit Corp, law, just as it did last June, when veto of a similar bill was sustained and the, corporation given a temporary lease on life. « =u = 1 ® 8 = SENATE COMMERCE subcommittee has received top administration assurance that no action on post-war foreign air agreements will be taken without its knowledge, despite one school of thought within the administration that wanted to negotiate first, téll congress later.
