Fair-minded B: WPB insiders say both men spoke the truth when, on their final meeting with 150 or more top WPB executives, they shook hands amid cheers and said they were both working toward . the same objectives. a The whole trouble in the organization came from the loyal camp followé¥s of each side, constantly tugging at the coat sleeves of their superiors and needling each into the belief that the other was out to get him. There was a lunatic fringe of a few trouble-makers on each side who did most of

"the damage. ’

Wilson tried twice to resign but the President wouldn't let him. To try to bring harmony into the organization, Nelson called back to Washington Sidney Weinberg of New York, who had been one of his closest friends, and assigned him to stop the feuding within WPB, .

The Trouble Begins

ALL THIS came to a head early last winter when Nelson: began to work on his policy of reconversion. Cutbacks were beginning to appear. Nelson set up a special group in the WPB to get reports on can- , cellations of army and navy contracts, so that office of civilian requirements and smaller war plants corporation could utilize idle facilities. {The Wilsonites resented this being handled outside their organization and the fight began. It went on all last winter and it was settled only by Nelson's

-from the armed services and from his own subordi-

nates was agains{ their issuance. So for weeks the orders were delayed. When Nelson began to convalesce, his aides ran to him with stories that Wilson was sabotaging reconversion. On the other hand, Wilson, before leaving Washington, was able to get in his dig that Nelson held up Wilson orders.

The. Blow-up Comes

THAT WAS the situation in the summer when two things happened, of no particular connection. First, Sidney Weinberg, who had been brought back WPB by Nelson’ to make peace, switched sides the middle of Nelson's illness, becoming a Wilson man. The second, and more important, was that the army began to put out stories that there were shortages in a number of important items like trucks, tanks, big guns and ammunition. Nelson, unconvinced that war production was in

into in

such a terrible shape and genuinely: concerned over

the need for organizing reconversion to prevent post-

war unemployment, went ahead with his four orders

which came out early in August. They were hedged with qualifications, permitting the manufacture of certain items of civilian supply under conditions noncompetitive with war production. Nevertheless, it is a start toward reconversion. The final blow-up in WPB came just after the orders were out. Friction within WPB was now such

_an open scandal that Wilson's resignation had to be

accepted and Nelson had to’ be sent some place to permit reorganization. Such is official life in Washington.

Book O’Daniel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7—In a four-page letter, genator W. L. (Pappy) O'Daniel (D. Tex) pleads for subscribers to his “W. Lee O'Daniel News,” saying in all seriousness, that it would be better to sacrifice “something to eat or some other bare necessity of life” than to miss his “newspaper.” He writes that this country is close to bloody revolution, unless _the people are - “awakened” by reading his publication at $5 a year, ". Senator O'Daniel repeats his . old charge that “the slickest gang of racketeers that ever operated are taking over the American government , . . they have complete control of the U. S. treasury right now, and are scooping out the money in every direction, wherever it will help them further their plot” He says “they have hired many of the slickest schemers and plotters in this nation.” He asks: “Why do the American people sit idly by and permit this unholy alliance between ‘the members of congress and the labor leader racketeers of this nation?

Sees Serious Threat

HE SAYS the people “do not fully realize how far this racket has gone and what a-serious threat it is to our American form of democracy.” :

My Day

HYDE PARK, Wednesday.—1 have been getting many letters lately about the question of housing for service people stationed in different parts of the country. Workers are somewhat better taken care of, since there is defense housing which is sometimes available to them. But few seem to have considered the needs of men on limited service, who want their families with them, or of men who will soon be going overseas and who “alsp want their families with them.

said against families being near their men in camp. Nevertheless it seems to me quite a human thing for people who love each * other to try to be together when ; they know that a long separation faces them in the near future. It might therefore be wise to face conditions as they are. ~ . In addition to this difficulty, I have recently ‘had ‘an -entirely new housing problem pi _ 1 is one to which I have given little thought, and I am going Io ‘quote from. a letter describing this ‘condition:

“1 really wanted to write.you about the apartment

I know there is much to be

ted to me...

My Way” She's satisfied with that one. ... Some of the folks around town were indignant over what they described as a “pushing around” at the circus Tuesday night, One group which bought the $2.60 reserved seat tickets found themselves shoved into the $1.40 unreserved seat section by the ushers. Protests were unavailing. Even an appeal to the ticket seller was futile—“can’t help it.” He finally gave them box

;seat tickets, but when they got there, the box was

filled already. We asked Allen Lester, the circus press agent, about it, and he said the trouble was that the circus didn't have enough ushers to handle the big crowd. Folks just sort of followed the old Hoosier custom of seeking out the best seats then grabbing them—regardless of the tickets they held. A lot of the reserved seat section was filled by general admission ticket holders who had “muscled in.” More ushers were hired yesterday, and the situation was improved.

Mr, Obrist went into the grocery. While he was waiting for service, Mrs, Arvin got out of the car and noticed what looked like gasoline dripping from the rear of tle car. She hurried in and told her father, He ran out, took one look, then jumped in the car and hightailed it for home.

out. And it wasn't until he got there that he recalled he had placed 50 pounds of ice in the trunk of the car. . .., Charles E Walsh, 1626 E.

You may be familiar with the rents charged in your own neighborhood in Green= wich Village.

Yet “the housing question is very much tied up with the development of industry after the war. If we maintain full’ employment wherever we

JOB SURVEYOR TELFORD'S 0B

If They Don’t, It's 0. K,, Too,” He Says.

By SHERLEY UHL . Job Surveyor Fred Telford, whose ex-officio influence at city hall last night became the subject of a coun-| cilmanic guessing-bee, explained today that he had remained with the municipal government “at my own risk and will harbor no hard feelings if council sees fit to withhold my pay.” At last night's council session,

marks than the average “Take It or Leave It” show, ‘three $64 posers went unanswered. A $3000 jack-pot! in the form of extra service fees for the J. L. Jacobs & Co. municipal

{survey firm likewise — was- - not

dwarded. Three Puzzlers

Questions for which no one had a satisfactory "answer in- the absence of Mr, Telford were: Who retained him in an advisory capacity on the city roster? Who's paying him, or who intends to pay him? What is he supposed to be doing? Today, Mr. Telford came forth with the following reply: He received- the impression that he was supposed to continue with the city frem “a group of persons” including the mayor's advisory committee on personnel, the League of Women Voters, Mayor Tyndall, a city councilman and the Republican county chairman. At present he is receiving no pay and has obtained no concrete assurance that he will ever be compensated. “As a matter of fact,” he pointed out, “both Mayor Tyndall and City Controller Roy E. Hickman have warned me that I'm staying on at my own risk.” He added that it was assumed that city council might some day appropriate "a salary fund, but “if they want to to pay for my services, o. k., if not, o. k. too.”

Explains Duties His duties, he explained, consist

of: assisting City Personnel Direc-

tor Larry Parsons; ferreting out possible governmental savings; “protecting” the city budget against onslaughts by the Marion county tax adjustment board. In support of Mr, Telford's pre carious position today, the League of Women Voters, with whom he has been working on a department-by-department study of city gov-ernment;-issued the following statement: : “The city of Indianapolis has a $10,000,000 business. To further the efficient operation of this business, the expert services of the J, L. Jacobs Co. were hired. It is our, belief that the survey made by the Jacobs Co. was an asset to the city and that the services of Mr. Telford, through the budget hearings, was necessary to obtain a maximum benefit from this survey.” Mr. Telford's role at city hall was spotlighted by council's consideration of an ordinance appropriating an extra $3000 for the J. L. Jacobs survey concern, whose formal $10,000 contract terminated last July 31. + The money, Controller Hickman said, was for “additional services” but several councilmen believed the appropriation to be” illegal since expenditure of the fund.had never been authorized by city council.” With them, the J. L. Jacobs surveyors brought Mr. Telford as chies surveyor, but long after the Jacobs “increased salary” train had rolled on two months ago, Mr. Télford remained behind. He no longer is connected with the efficiency firm, he says.

$10,000 Curiosity

City Controller Roy Hickman said he thought the $3000 Jacobs debt: had been incurred in good faith, but expressed the opinion

aroused more curiosity than civic consciousness, “Maybe we received $10,000 worth of curiosity,” he observed. Affer the meeting he said he was voicing the sentiment of Mayor Tyndall in desiring to “see this Telford thing cleared up.” “We could fight over this bill for vears and years,” he declared, “but I'm thinking of the political ramifications;. How would it look to the public to see a Republican administration wrangling over $3000?” Expressing fear that Mr. Telford will later “bill the city for an even larger amount,” Councilman Ross Manly asserted, “I'm no welcher, but these survey expenses seem to be growing. . . . We have to pay these appropriations in reai money. ‘We have no authority to issue script. , . . We're rapidly depleting the city’s working: balance. If we don’t watch our-p's and q's we'll have our police selling lead pencils on street corners.”

DRAFT IS UNDER STUDY IN HOUSE

Selective Service Needs After German Defeat

Probe Subject.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 (U. P).— House military affairs commitiee members turned today to a study of selective service requirements in connection with the army's plan for partial demobilization after defeat of Germany. Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selentive service director, and Col. Francis V. Keesling, liaison officer between selective service and congress, were invited to a closed session of the committee. The demobilization plan announced by the war department yesterday presumed that the army would continue inductions after the defeat of Germany although some servicemen would be discharged on a priority system giving credit for length of" service, overseas service, combat awards and parenthood.

Favors Continuation Hershey was reported to favor continuing to induct all eligible 18-year-olds and registrants up to 26 years of age for the Pacific war. However, unless Japan should be defeated by next May 15, when the draft law expires, it will be necessary to extend the act if inductions continue past that date. Even the most optimistic do not look for peace in the Pacific by May 15. One committee member suggested that the question of extending the draft law may be linked to the broader question of compulsory peacetime military training. The house special post-war military policy committee is expected to begin hearings on’ peacetime training after the Nov. 7 election and may recommend enactment of a program next year. The recent directive submitted to army planning officials by Gen. George C. Marshall ;army chief of

‘| staff, assumed that a peacetime pro-

gram would be adopted. Naval authorities also favor compulsory training. The navy also ‘apparently assumes that the draft law will be extended because it plans to continue expanaing to its authorized strength uni next July.

BEEF RATIONING "MAY END SOON

Be Offered Point Free

Before Next Year.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 (U. PJ. —Better grades of beef steaks and roasts, along wi hams and pork loins, will join the growing list of unrationed foods by the end of the year at the latest, informed sources forecast today. * Utility grades of beef already are unrationed but points are required for the better grades—commercial, good (A) and choice (AA), .The latter two are going to the armed forces but sources jin government food agencies expect steaks and roasts of the commercial grade to come off rationing by Oct. 1. Choice and good grades of lamb also are still rationed along with the two pork cuts. Points probably will continue to be required for some time for butter, cheese: and other dairy products as well as margerine.

Blue Points Are Problem

The newly announced cut in the list of rationed processed foods, under which 17 items become point free Sept. 17, left canned tomatoes as the major vegetable still to be rationed. But there was said to be some prospect that tomatoes 100 will become unrationed before the end of the year. With its rationing duties considerably lightened by the new cut, the office of price administration was seeking meanwhile to devise some way to absorb the blue points to be

An OPA spokesman said one means would be to increase point values of food still on the blue stamp list, After Sept. 17, those foods: will be canned ketchup, canned fruits and tomato, pineapple and grape juice. Spokesmen point out that the end of hostilities in Europe “could change the food picture completely,” a statement interpreted as meaning there is a possibility of immediate lifting of virtually all remaining rationed items.

7 cents a ride or four tokens for a quarter rate on all of theutility’s vehicles (the original goal of the P. S. C.) would eliminate the bonuses to the utility's 1000 operating employees. (The employees receiving the bonus are members of Local 1070 of the Street Car Employees union.) Under the bonus plan, the operating employees get a certain ° per cent of the company’s profits, based on profit, per vehicle mile over revenue in 1941, The bonus amounts now to a wage increase of between 3 and 4 cents an hour. If the company’s revenues go down, the bonuses go down. Thus, if ‘the P. 8. C. tries to carry out anything like. its original intentions, they will make t~“hopping mad” the 1000 members of ‘the union, their families and their friends in this election year, As the Indianapolis public itself has shown little interest in the fare reduction case, it is an odds-on bet that the case will end with no fare reduction. Probably the most that will be done will be a simplification of the rather complicated transfer fare system. This can be done by agreement between the utility and the P, 8. C. The utility now too Is frying fo win approval for extension of the bonus plan to cover all its employees except supervisory personnel.

CONGRESSMAN LUDLOW'S work in getting Economie Director Vinson to approve the bonus plan has done him ne harm in his bid for re-election. Local 1070 has passed & resolution commending him for his help and, according to. reliable reports, the entire union membership is personally campaigning families and friends in his behalf. The union members were impressed by the fact that while their own leaders and attorney could make no headway in getting approval of the bonus plan, the congressman got approval a short time after he was asked to assist. i Bradford vs. Gates : ODDS AND ENDS: Supporters of G.
