WASHINGTON. Feb, 5.—President Truman summoned his cabinet to an gmergency session today to consider a'far-

reaching program for easing the starvation threat in

Europe and Asia,

The major decision confronting the, cabinet was whether to impose controls that would make new inroads on the American food allot-|extensive hearings into the nomi= ment. The program was drawn up by Secretary of Agriculture Clinton system, and the appointment of

Refuses to Name Officers in ‘Frame-Up.’

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (U. P.).— Navy Capt. L. E. Safford failed today to support his ¢harge that the army and navy high command “framed” Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short and Adm. Husband E. Kimmel in the Pearl Harbor disaster. Capt. Safford was questioned by the Pearl Harbor committee about the charge he made in a letter he wrote Jan. 22, 1944, in which he accused Adm, Harold R. Stark, former chief of naval operations. “It was my feeling at the time— and if I wronged Adm. Stark I now regret it,” Capt. Safford testified. Rep. John W. Murphy (D. Pa.) asked Capt. Safford whom he would include in the frame-up charge. “I did not know where it (responsibility for the frame-up) lay,” Capt. Safford replied. Capt. Safford wrote the letter in 1944 while he was lining up defense evidence for use in event Adm. Kimmel was court-martialed for what happened at Pearl Harbor. On Own Initiative Safford told the committee today that he acted on his’own initiative in lining up defense evidence and that Adm. Kimmel didn’t know he was doing it. Adm. Kimmel was cammander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet at the time of the attack Dec. 7, 1941. Capt. Safford said he never met Adm. Kimmel until February, 1944, long after the disaster. Safford made the charge in a letter he wrote Jan, 22, 1944 to Capt. A. D. Kramer, who served under him in 1941. It was produced late yesterday during Safford’s testimony before congress’ Pearl Harbor “vestigating oommitiee, |

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (U, P).— Senator Charles W. Tobey (R. N. H.) charged today that Edwin W.

One high official said the program sought what could be described as a “miracle” in stretching food supplies. But he felt that drastic steps

were necessary.

The United States has set itself the goal of exporting 6,000,000 tons of wheat and flour to Europe by July 1. Prospects are that the goal will be missed by 25 per cent if only the less drastic features of the Wallace-Anderson-Acheson program

The house, on the other hand, passed legislation, now before a’ senate committee, to, give the states the tideland oil title sought by the federal government. Mr. Pauley replied to Tobey's charges that “if my activities concerning tidelands have influenced you against me, I don't know what can be done about it—it is obvious that I will not have your support for my nomination.”
