OF mew WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (UP) President Truman today asked Congress to continue his sugar rationing . authority and some other scarce food and material and to control the export- and imports of certain critical items. Mr. Truman also asked author ity for the Maritime Commission to continue operations of certain shipping lines until the commis sion can settle with those companies whose vessels were taken over during the war. The power the president want ed renewed will expire automatically A.T-u-ch 31 unless ex tended by Congress. He also asked continued power to retain current export and import controls on food still criti cally short in supply throughout the world. This would include import and export control on fats and oils, and import controls on meat, meat products, dairy products, peas and bean products, canned fish and protein foods. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (UP) President Truman today asked Congress to continue sugar rationing for another year. The request was contained in a special message which also asked extension until March 31, 1948 of centain other war powers which otherwise would expire next month. These included powers to allocate scarce food and materials and to control export and import of certain critical items. Senator Ralph E. Flanders, U., Vermont, prepared a new bill to raise rent by 20 per cent in five percent steps on a 16-month period. The CIO said removal of rent controls would cause new strikes and drive "thousands of families into the streets." Republicans still wfcra split over the question of a 20 percent across-the-board income-tax cut. Representative Noah Mason, R., Illinois, said that was tha only "fair and equitable" plan. House GOP leader Charles Halleck, Indiana, said the party's objective still is a 20 per cent slash in total income tax revenue but he shied away from the idea of a uniform cut for everybody. The Supreme Court was urged to recaU the original Mt. Clemens portal-to-portal pay suit and lay down definite standards which cannot be misinterpreted. A U. S. Chamber of Commerce spokesman again urged quick Congressional action to limit portal pay suits. District Soil Meet Will Be Held On Tuesday, Feb. 11 Clevva O.

MURRAY ASKS NEWSPRINT PROBE WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Senator Murray (Dem., Mont), retiring chairman of the Senate small business committee, proposed yesterday "an immediate, full scale study" of the newsprint shortage. Murray urged it as part of a congressional program to ' deal with problems of small newspapers "without in any way raising the fear of abridgement of freedom." , ' In .a statement accompanying his report, Murray declared that he found that "one great threat to the survival of an American free press" is "the vise-like grip of monopoly-big-business newsprint manufacturers upon the 15,000 small newspaper publishers of the country." . While their supply "h cut to a mere trickle," Murray said, big city dailies buy paper mills' or enter into favorable long-ter.-i contracts giving them competitive advantages. Murray said that his report is based on responses of newspaper publishers to a letter of inquiry. COL. ROSSOW SWORN IN AS HEAD STATE POLICE DEPARTMENT INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 3. Col.
