Action Due to
Testimony in
Pauley Case
Ickes Challenges Truman's
Right to Pass Judgment
On Truth of His Story
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. IIP)
Harold L. Ickes. original New
Dealer, resinned as Secretary of
Interior todav bluntly challeng
ing President Truman's right to
pass Judgment on his "veracity."
"I cannot stay on when you, in
effect, have expressed lack of
confidence in me," Ickes said In
a lengthy letter to the President
which he made public after the
White House announced his res
ignation.. The resigntaion of the "old
curmudgeon," who took office
with Kranklin D. Roosevelt in
1933, grew out of Ickes' opposi
tion to the nomination of Edward
W. Pauley to be Undersecretary
of the Navv. and the President's
support of the California oil man.
Ickes asked to be relieved
March 31. but Mr. Truman made
the resignation effective Friday.
Feb. 15. The President's letter of
acceptance was not made public.
The President designated Oscar
L. Chapman, a Coloradoan w-ho
has served 13 years as an assist
ant secretary, to take over Ickes1
duties pending the appointment
of a permanent secretary.
No Apologies to Make
Ickes in a 2.000-word letter of
resignation said of his testimony
in opposition to the nomination
of Pauley:
"I cannot accept the theory
that I should have told the Sen
ate Naval affairs committee any
thing less than the truth. I have
no apologies for havin done so.

By FRANK JENKINS
THERE'S a thrilling story on the
wires as this is written.
President Truman calls for a
HUGE housing program two
million seven hundred thousand
homes to be completed within the
next two years, of which a mil
lion two hundred thousand will be
STARTED THIS YEAR. Total
tost to be around sixteen billion
lollars.
(To get the JOLT of this vast
program, we have to spell the
totals out. Astronomical sums
have been juggled before our
eyes so long that we find It diffi
cult to grasp mere FIGURES.)
THESE homes are to be built
principally by private contrac
tors, most of them to sell for no
more than $6,000 or to rent for
$50 a month or less. A part of the
plan is financing the low cost
homes by insured mortgages up
to 90 PER CENT of their value
based on necessary CURRENT
costs.
The federal government Is to
spend $850,000,000 how not de
scribed in detail, but presumably
in assistance In financing and

A proposal to promote a state
wide "Jobs for Veterans" cam
paign patterned after wartime
bond drives was made here to the
state legislative Interim com

Soaring Rents In
Salem Bring Plea
For Govt. Control
SALEM, Ore., Feb. 13. P
The Salem Trades and Labor
Council and the newly-organized
World War II post of the Ameri
can Legion appealed to the OPA
last night, to establish rent ceil
ings in Sajem. . . . . r ,
Salem had rent control by city
ordinance, but it expired last No
vember 15. Since then, rents have
skyrocketed. The Salem Capital
Journal, which is conducting a
rent-reducing campaign, ouoted
Federal Housing Authority heads
as saying that Salem rents are the
highest in Oregon.
City officials warned that un
less landlords cut rents, they will
go back to local control.
Both the labor and veterans
group, however, oppose local con
trol, asserting Federal control Is
more effective in that it also could
apply outside the city limtis.
The veterans resolution said
that returning veterans "are dis
mayed and angered to discover
that their return and readjust
ment to civilian life is being de
liberately thrown out of gear by
unscrupulous landlords with short
memories."

Break With
Argentina Is
Expected Soon
Pro-Axis Character of
Latin Nation Disclosed
In American Blue Book
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-(P)
The State Department's blast at
kev Argentine leaders as wartime
pawns of Nazi Germany hastened
a fresh crisis todav in the already
badlv-strained relations between
the United States and Argentina.
Whether a formal break in
diplomatic ties will result re
mained an open question.
Secretary of State Bvrnes told
reporters the I'nited States does
not intend to foilow up its "Blue
Book" attack on the military
rujers of Buenos Aires with any
single nation action against Ar
gentina. But at least two members
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee Indicated they expect
further diplomatic steps even
tually. Dispatches from the Argentine
capital disclosed that at least part
of the Blue Book indictment dis
closed here yesterday, had been
published there, and these dis
patches speculated on the likeli
hood of curtailed relations.

march commander, was so re
lieved on learning that he would
be shot Instead of hanged that

Lt. Gen. Yamashita, reported
Mai. Larrv Hodgin, the military
police officer who rode with
Homma from Manila to Luzon
prison camp.

understood the sentence as it was
read in court.

gave him a sealed envelope con
taining the court findings that he
had condoned countless atrocities.
Homma donned spectacles and
read the copy from beginning to
end.
"When he got down to the
nenaltv, shooting," Hodgin said,
he remarked:
"Oh, that's good. They're not
going to hang me. That (shoot
in" is an honorable death."
Whereupon he put awav his
spectacles. leaned back in the car

Flexible Cover on Pay
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-fA")
A high government official pre

new wage-price policy aimed at
restoring industrial peace will
case price controls without clamp
ing a rigid lid on wages.
The formula, subject of day and
night White House conferences,
reportedly is "just about set."
But the official, who could not be
quoted by name, expressed some
uncertainty as to the reaction it
will receive from labor and In

Part of the pressure for a quick

Vage Boost Granted Transit
Workers; Mediation Agreed
On In Power Union Dispute
N. Y. Harbor Tugboat Walkout Not
Ended, but Closure Order Revoked;
Strikers Turn Down GMC Offer
(By the Associated Press.)
The end of crippling strikes in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia
and revocation of New York City's closure order brought some
measure of relief today to the nation t industrial strife.
Settlement of the work stoppages by power and transit
workers and lifting the shutdown
came after a day of inconvenience and confusion to most of the
millions living in the three large eastern cities, the most hectic
day along the labor front in the post-war period.
While New York City resumed near normal operations of its
commercial, industrial and amusement activities after 18 hours
of paralysis, the labor dispute which was the cause of the shut
down remained unsettled.
And immediately, there were no indications of an end of the
10-day strike of 3,500 AFL tugboat workers, whose walkout
caused a drastic fuel shortage and brought about Mayor
O'Dwyer's restriction order. The union has agreed to submit the
wage-hour dispute to arbitration but tugboat owners have not
as vetl reached agreement among themselves on procedure for
arbitration of the issues that led to the walkout.
