Jack closes his fist to prove that he can still belt a few if Baer would like to take him on. Max does not accept the challenge. What may turn into one of the rowdiest battles in the administrations history began to take shape when a subcommittee of the senate banking and currency committee charged that influence emanating from the White House had been exerted on the R.F.C.s lending policies. At first the investigation seemed just another periodic urge to probe by investigating senators. But then President Truman stepped in where many Presidents have feared to tread and disclosed he had collected a file of letters written by congressmen to the R.F.C. He let it be known that he had in his possession between 700 and 900 letters, most of them from congressmen, and some asking favorable consideration of loan applications. At the time it looked like President Truman was turning the investigation from the White House back to the senators themselves. Immediately the senators screamed that they refused to be intimidated. It was at this point that the President issued a statement saying he saw no reason to make the correspondence public since it did not show any illegality either on the part of the executive branch or legislators. The investigation fell into something of a lull after the first flurry of publicity, but it is not likely to stay dormant for very long. It has g all the ingredients for a battle. And the offended senators are not likely to forget Trumans tactics of turning the spotlight of publicity upon them. Moreover, it appears that before the fight is ended a set of new. deep resentments between the President on the one hand and influential members of congress on the other will have been created the latest in a long and bitter series. mud-slingin- BEVIN BRIGHTENS British Minister Bevin Ernest Foreign manages a smile for as he leaves his Carlton House residence in London for Eastbourn, where he will convalesce from his recent illness.

It would authorize the navy to build a new 57,000-to- n super-carricapable of handling atom bombers.

Dewey had previously backed the administrations policy of sending troops to Europe. Stassen joined Dewey in opposing Sens. Kenneth S. Wherry, Nebraska, and Robert A. Taft, Ohio, and supporting the administrations claimed authority to send American troops overseas without congressional restrictions. In urging the policy of sending troops to Europe, Stassen said: If America showed timidity and shortsightedness in refusing to back up General Eisenhower, I believe the reaction right inside America would seriously undermine the stability and confidence in our own economy which is essential for all purposes. Governor Dewey went even further than Stassen. He told the senate groups, as he looked at Mr. Wherry across 20 feet of space in the caucus room: The most terrible thing that has happened to this country and the world is the defeatism evidenced by some of the questions asked here as to whether we could hold Europe. Dewey and Stassen visibly angered some Republican senators by their testimony. That anger will possibly find expression when the Republicans begin a serious search for a presidential candidate in 1952. As far as sending troops to Europe and backing Gen. Eisenhowers plan to defend Europe, the congress finds itself in a position where it can do nothing but back the administration. Any action to the contrary would be a serious blow to world peace. -- narold E. Stassen, president of the University of Pennsyl- vania, called for drastic and definite of Gen. Dwight Eisenhower by prompt rearmament of western Europe. The former GOP presidential aspirant made his plea in testimony before the senate foreign relations and armed services committees. support EXCESS WASTE When kidney function Blows down, many folks complain of nagging backache, loss of pep and energy, headaches and dizziness.

NPA Announces Slash The national production authority ordered a reduction in the amount of natural rubber in approximately WNU W 40,000 products. The order went into force the first of this month. A NPA spokesman said the order was designed to conserve natural rubber for stockpiling, armaments, and industrial items for which demand will increase as the mobilization program advances during this year. "PONT o ahs BLAME US American Farmer Is on the Defensive The American farmer is angry. is on the defensive and he doesnt like it. Since the government ordered price controls the farmer has been attacked with the charge that he is the hog in the high food price picture. And to make matters worse, there appears no way for the farmer to convince the consumer that he is not getting the big cut in higher food prices. A number of farm editors in the midwest advise housewives to stop buying meat if they want to cut prices. They say the farmer is not getting the major share of the increase; that it is coing to packers, wholesalers, processors, retailers 1151 which makes you NERVOUS He I?ills and others. This view is widely shared through the midwest farm belt. Actually the farmer is saying: Dont blame me for high prices. I have to pay them, too, and all I want is equality with other segments of the economy. The farmer also leaves the impression that his contribution to the nations health and defense effort is a critical task deserving of special recognition. The farmer realizes that the national emergency has reduced the price-cos- t squeeze on him because farm prices rise faster than costs.
