Fleming Took Rap

President Truman today made it clear once and for all that if there is any general rent increase, congress will have to order it-—and tperhaps over. his veto. ; Mr. Truman told a news conference there is no Justification at

committee is considering rent plans, including one for a 15 per cent general boost. The President also said that no penalty or punishment would be imposed on ‘Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, director of the office of temporary controls, in connection with the big rent mixup earlier this week, fer Taking Rap for Truman? Gen. Fleming told the senate yesterday he was the “higher up” who ordered a 10 per cent rent boost that was blocked at the last minute by the White House. But some senators believed Gen. Flem- |. ing was taking the rap for the White House. Gen. Fleming said he favored the increase and authorized the order before he “found out it was contrary to the President's policies.” Senator Joseph R. McCarthy (R. Wis.), told a reporter, however, that he doubts Mr. Fleming would have taken it on himself to go so far without a White House okay in the first place. Several of Mr. McCarthy's colleagues privately shared his thought, but they declined “to be quoted. Study Payroll Saving In other congressional developments: ONE: House Republicans were pushing a campaign to lop 1 million employees from the federal payroll’ They estimated this would save the government $3,500,000,000. TWO: Chairman John Taber (R. N. Y.), of the house appropriations committee, accused the OPA of maintaining a high-salaried “racketeering” committee to find jobs for

committee had 64 members who received an average salary of $7500 a year. THREE: Congress was giving a cold shoulder to Wins urchill’s that the United States share Britain's responsibility for Palestine. Many congressmen favored Mr. Churchill's alternative proposal — turning the Palestine|pe problem over to the United Nations. Hope for Tenants Meanwhile OPA said that a “substantial number” of tenants could expect rent boosts under the new “hardship” provisions for landlords. Rent Director Ivan D. Carson de-

‘|lclined to give a more specific

estimate of the increases now in store, He said however, that most landlords would not qualify for rent boosts under the new provisions. In other developments, a house food investigating subcommittee told Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson that household sugar rations should be boosted at least 10 to 15 pounds a year per person. The group said industrial sugar users should be increased to 80 per cent of their 1941 consumption. The allowance now is 60 per cent. Gerard D. Reilly, former member of the national labor relations board, said basic changes in the Wagner act are necessary to promote industrial peace.

Shown some of the gunmen’s clothing the car owner broke down and identified the garments as his brother's.

Another time detectives were sure their man was;one who had broken out of Crawfordsville jail Dec. 1 and remained at liberty until Jan. 17. | The fugitive, who did not know | why he was being questioned, read- | ily admitted being in Hammond the day of the slaying.

So did the fugitive, who when given the cap and asked if it was the same one which he had stolen, carelessly replied “Sure.” » “He jumped about six feet when we told him where it was found,” Detective Shields laughed. It developed the fugitive was innocent. He had made up the story of being in Hammond to protect relatives who had sheltered him. Several other times suspects were almost arrested when an apparently ‘unbreakable chain of circumstantial evidence led to them. One day before Badgely's capture a local cleaner identified a coat left at the scene as one he had repaired. He “positively” identified one of the pictures as the man for whom the repair was made. Only Badgely's capture kept this “suspect” out of jail. Puzzle Falls Into Place The gun registration, delayed by the error, was the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle which led police- to Badgely.

On New Weapons

4 WASHINGTON; Feb. 1 (U, P),~ The atomic energy commission might be developing such “improved atomic weapons” as guided missiles with atomic . warheads, military leaders speculated today. Other possibilities, they. said, were artillery shells with atomic war heads and more powerful atomic bombs. > The commission's chairman-des-ignate, David E. Lilfenthal, told congress yesterday that for the time being the government was cons asantrating on tha military aspacts of atorhic energy. The commission was trying to perfect new and im-

proved atomic weapons, he said.

Rocket Might Carry. Bomb The former Hoosier refused to elaborate, but military . experts speculated at length about the possibilities in the field of atomic ordjnance. They said, for example, {there was a possibility that the German's V-2 rocket, now being tested at White Sands, N. M., could be developed to carry an atomic charge. They also believed an atodhic warhead could be attached to artillery shells and to guided missiles. And, they added, there is no doubt
