Truman, Party Chieftains Mull Political Status WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-iJPt President Truman had a political pow-wow at the White House last night with present and former leaders of the Democratic Party's national organization. Charles G. Ross, the President's press secretary, told reporters to day that the "whole political situa tion" was gone over In "frank discussion." Those attending Included Sena tor Barkley of Kentucky, the vice presidential nominee; Senator Mc Grain of Rhode Island, chairman of the Democratic National Com mittee, and five former national chairmen. The former chairmen were George White of Ohio, Robert E. Hannegan, Frank Walker, Homer S. Cummlngs and Edward J. Flynn. Ross said all other living for mer chairmen, and James M. Cox of Ohio, 1920 presidential candi date, were invited but could not attend for various reasons. Asked why James A. Farley did not attend, Ross said he under stood Farley was on his way to Europe. About the only other party chairman of recent years who was not there is Cordell Hull. Hull is in very poor health. Presumably, one purpose of the extraordinary confab was to talk over what kind of campaign should be waged. ' Mr. Truman, has made It clear that his own inclination is to keep hammering away at the record of what he calls at least the "second worst" Congress in history. Most political leaders think that sooner or later Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, the Republican presiden tial nominee, will be put into the position of having to defend that Lrecord. nepuoiican leaders in uongress believe Dewey Is satisfied with their anil-Inflation and housing program. One of these leaders, who asked not to be quoted by name, said this belief grows out of what he called the fact that Dewey has not sent any word to the con trary. Revised Housing Bill Approved by Senate (Continued From Page One) of last midnight was lost on a five-to-five committee vote. Chairman Tobey (R. N.H.) told reporters he does not know whether the committee bill has the approval of Senate Republi can policy leaders. Tobey offered a motion in the committee to give Mr. Truman the stand-by price controls and allocation powers which he ask ed. The proposal was voted down six to four. Tohev said the entire House bill "falls pitifully short of being an effective program to control Inflation."

Aug. 6 (.T The man who headed America's war time atomic bomb project says he never shipped any uranium to the Soviet Union. MaJ. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, questioned yest-rday about a congressman statement that 1,300 pounds of uranium com pound were shipped - to Russia during tne war, said: "I did not ship it. As a retired Army officer it would not be proper for me to answer that question fuilv. Grove's statement was made in a radio interview over WOR. Asked whether, if such uranium shipments were made, they were made without his knowledge, he said: "That would be a fairly good assumption. Rep. John McDowell (R-PA.) chairman of a subcommittee of the house un-American activities committee, said in Washington yesterday the uranium shipments were made after "tremendous pressure" was put on the U. S. government. House Told of Uranium Exported to Russians (Continued From Paga One) other testimony already gather ed, "will prove the existence of a communist spy ring . wmcn reached high Into the govern ment during the war." Clark's refusal to turn over the FBI records on Remington was in line with an order from President Truman who denounc ed the congressional hearings yesterday as a "red herring" in tended to divert public attention from what he calls the refusal of the Republlcap-fcontrolled con gress to enact adequate anti-inflation legislation. Remington, 30-year-old suspen ded Commerce Department of ficial, was identified by Eliza beth T. Bentley as one of several government workers she says passed wartime information to her for a Communist espionage ring. Probe To Continue ., Although public hearings are being suspended, Ferguson said the senate grouo will continue to dig for facts on Remington and the entire government loyalty program at closed hearings aid "bv any legal means." The House subcommittee went to unusual efforts to keep its activities from being known. Even the names and numbers of the members were kept secret. It was set up late yesterday after an investigator hurried into a with word another key witness had been located. Mundt predicted that as a re sult the spy ring case "will be cracked wide open" in public hearings next week. Hearings for the rest of this week were ruled out. Ferguson's announcement that the senate group Is ending public hearings was made In the com mittee's hearing room to repa-rt-ers and to spectators drawn by anticipation of further hearings today. He said the hearings "cannot proceed further at this time" be cause President Truman denies congress access to confidential records. Ferguson went on to sav the question of Remington's loyalty Is Incidental. He said the com mittee is trying to learn how well the government is guarding against employment of subver sive people. . "Congress appropriated $11. 000.000 for this loyalty program," Ferguson said. And. he declared the lawmakers are determined to find out how the program is working. President Truman told his news conference yesterday that he would not turn over the con fidential data to either Senate or House Investigations. Mundt left the Impression that the mystery witness turned up by the house group has had some sort of dealings with the Com munist underground or sdv net work. Rut he wouldn't say io aenmieiy. He described the man as "a POULTRY! POULTRY! POULTRY! Prima CoL Fryers , 60c Prima CoL Rat Hens. 45c Rabbits 65c Prime Roosters 36c Also Duck, Geese, Turkey, Ham, Bacon, frozen foods.

Uranium Shippers Named MacDowell told the House that the committee will unravel for LCongress and the people in the near xuiure an incretuoie story about Russia's getting vital ura nium compoun -. which are "es sential to atomic research." He said that on March 23, 1943, 200 pounds of uranium oxide and 200 pounds of uranium nitrate furnished by the S. W. Shattuck Chemical Company of Denver were shipped directly to Col. A. N. Kotikov of the Soviet Govern ment Purchasing Commission. "It was then transported by air from Great Falls, Mont., to Moscow," MacDonald said. MacDonald said that 500 pounds each of uran'.i m nitrate and black uranium oxide were shipped by the Canadium Radium and Ura nium Corporation from Port Hope, Ontario, to Great Falls, Mont., and then to Col. Kotikov. Then, In 1945, MacDowell said, some uranium metal itself was "sent to the Soviet Union to appease them." He said he has heard testimeny of over 30 peoole and has the records. And MacDowell defied anyone to prove he Is wrong. After getting the final 1,000 pounds of compounds, MacDowell said, Russia "came back and want ed 15 tons but by that time some body woke up and so far as I know this order was not per mitted to be filled." The congressman told report ers he did not know how the uranium metal left the country but that it went to Col. Kotikov, too. Oregon Fails to Meet Quota In Bond Drive PORTLAND. Aug. 6.
