federal employees, maritime, work- | ers and other workers not now insured.

Badly Needed

“These provisions are essential for the ‘orderly reconversion of our wartime economy to peacetime production,” he said. “They are badly needed for the duration of the reconversion emergency .. . es a bulwark against post-war deflation, Meanwhile, other administration Jeaders said they foresaw no economic collapse . during reconversion but rather a period of expandMg civilian economy in which small business would receive every encouragement, The emphasis from now on, they said,” will be on easing government production controls to permit the forces of free enterprise and competition get back to work. ** A Moral Obligation

In today's message, Mr. Truman said he” assumed that congress would deal soon with the broader question of expanding and improving - the- ‘social security program. But he expressed the belief that deliberations on these broad issues would take too much time to be of benefit during the Brst Prate of reconversion, “To produce what is needed for the Pacific war,” he told the congress, “we must appeal to the work[eis to accept and remain in jobs which they ultimately must lose when munitions production ceases. “The government has thus incurred a moral obligation to these workers and to those who have stuck faithfully to their posts in the past.”

Clearly Inadequate

The President said that the existing system of unemployment insurance suffered from major defects in the state laws and the specific proposals he made were designed to eorrect—these-defeets, -at--least- for the time being. : He pointed out, first, that in most states the maximum rate of unemployment compensation is between $15 and $18 a week—‘clearly inadequate to protect unemployed workers against ruthless cuts in living standards, particularly if they have families.” He noted secondly that in nearly one-third of the states no worker can receive more than 16 weeks of benefits in any year.

Prevent Recession

The President argued that by assuring workers of a definite income for a definite time congress could help materially to prevent. a sharp decline in consumer expenditures which might otherwise résult in a downward spiral of consumption and production, Meanwhile, a. highly optimistic report on the nation’s immediate economic future was given hy War Production Chairman J. A. Krug, who said the country was much better prepared for reconversion now than it was in 1918.

Higher Than 1939

Krug predicted that one year from today United States factories will be turning out durable civilian goods at an annual rate of $16,7000,000,000—~30 per cent higher than in 1939. He was scornful of fears that reconversion would bring radical: dislocation, and declared there was a staggering, pent-up world demand

Of some 51,200,000 civilian workers now employed, he declared, 46,600,000 are in jobs that will continue regardless of war production.

Ready for Reconversion

Citing huge wartime savings as a factor that will help unlock the gates of civilian production when it gets the all-clear, he said U. 8. consumers would have spent an extra $22,000,000,000 in 1944 if goods had been available. Krug sald the production program had now reached maturity and that despite pressing needs of the Japanese war the nation was ready to turn to the jobs of preparing for a peacetime economy. During the in-between period, he emphasized, all possible controls will be lifted. What and how to produce will be left to the people who make and the people who buy.

RELIEF SEEN AS

EXPERTS’ TASK

Hoover Opposes Emphasis On Social Welfare. (Continued From Page One)

should be on administration, not social welfare. UNRRA has been widely criticized for being loaded down with welfare workers. Mr. ‘Hoover has written that “fighting famine is a gigantic economic and governmental operation handled by experts and not ‘welfare’ work.” : Recalls Last War Mr. Hoover's... convictions on what should be done go right back to his own exberience in the other war. At that time, heads of ' the British, French and Italian governments were contending that relief be -directed by a board representing the allied nations. Mr. Hoover said no and insisted that direction be in the hands of one man with power to act. President Wilson supported him and Mr. Hoover built an organization that cut through red tape. It had to fight for its own shipping put it got it. Mr. Hoover wrote later that “we had daily to ‘haggle, beseech and swear at our allies and the American shipping board to get the millions of tons we needed to save the lives of this mass of humanity.” Soviet Slowness UNRRA wasn't set up to do the relief and rehabilitation job in France, Belgium and the Nether{lands when these areas -were liberated, as these were “able- to-pay” nations. The army took on the job. But supplying armies had to get No. 1 priority. Shipping was short and so were unloading facilities in Europe. Shipping was short, but Mr. Hoover insisted on his own relief fleet. With Gen. Pershing’s support, he got it. UNRRA’s job has related chiefly to Greece, Yugoslavia, Italy, Poland and Czechoslovakia. It has “been criticized for failure to get under way. Another factor has “been slowness of the Soviet government to move in some situations demanding its co-operation, and, in Yugoslavia, Marshal Tito’s cold-shoulder-ing of UNRRA people—though he was willing to take UNRRA relief supplies. Proposes Army Task In 1918, Mr. Hoover started food toward Europe before the armistice Nov. 11. He placed more than 300,000 tons in liberated and enemy areas before mid-December. The program ran to 23,000,000 tons in 12 months, with supplies brought from all parts of the world. Some 18,000,000 tons went from the U. 8. Mr. Hoover said .recently that if UNRRA cannot disentangle itself from “power politics” and start a | Bow of foodstuffs to Europe at once the authority for the task should be given the war. department. The army, he points out, already controls transportation agencies in this country, has docks and wharves here and overseas, and has trained personnel, In line with this experience in the last war, Mr. Hoover has suggested canteens to-give special attention to undernourished children.

Police said Pollard, Miller and Harold Tanner, 35, of 1160 N. Warman ave., took a woman from downtown Indianapolis to the scene of the shooting. She told detectives one of the men attempted to assault her. She said she resisted, but was hit in the face. The gunplay resulted from this attack, she said. Pollard- and Tanner were slated on charges of assault and battery with intent to rape and each was placed under $5000 bond. The case was remanded to criminal court by Judge J. E.

cupation of the Polish corridor in 1939—surrendered peacefully to a British lieutenant and a sergeant in a Hamburg hotel. . In Forster's pocket was found a poison phial similar to the one with which Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler killed himself in British custody last week. -e The two latest Nazis to follow Himmler in suicide were Marshal Robert Ritter von Greim, who succeeded Goering as commander of the luftwaffe April 26, and Dr.

tria and former social welfare minister in the notorious Seyss-Inquart government of Austria. A small, empty phial was found beside Greim's bed in a Salzburg hospital, where he was confined for treatment of a minor leg wound suffered during the final stages of the battle of Berlin. The wound may have been self-inflicted.

Hitler's Sisters Caught

Also caught up in the allied net were two married sisters of Adolf Hitler and a brother of Himmler. The sisters, found in the Bavarian Alps, were identified as Angela Hammitsch, 61, of = Altmuenster, Austria, and Paula Wolf, 48. Himmler’s brother, otherwise un-: identified, was arrested by the British 2d army in northwest Germany. From Rome came word that Col. Gen.
