MEAT ISSUE SQUARELY UP TO PRESIDENT TRUMAN GETS HOTTEST POLITICAL POTATO IN THE NATIONWASH INGTON, Oct. 12.— (UP) The hottest political issue of the year - whether to remove controls from meat—was squarely up to President Truman today. The question now is Mr. Truman’s alone to decide, left up to him by his cabinet. Many Democratic leaders feel that upon his decision may turn the outcome of the November elections. The President gave no hint of his answer, but it will be delivered to the people in a nationwide radio broadcast within a few days. It will not come, however, until he has weighed all the evidence, probably not before Mon-
day.
Best evidence seemed to be that the President still is convinced the stability of the economy and the fate of his party lio in continuing controls. But this Mould not mean he might not change his mind. I Mr. Truman gave up any ! weekend relaxation to give the problem his full attention and, it he decides controls should be kept, presumably to work out a way of easing the meat famine.
