Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston says the attitude of "beef and metals" to ward price controls is almost "de liberate defiance," and the govern ment plans to crack down if the sit uation continues. Johnston, former president of the II. S. chamber of commerce, maae the statement in addressing 1,500 persons Friday night at a dinner meeting in connection with the 74th , annual convention of the Ameri can Bar . association. " He said a recent amendment gives President Truman power to strike out income tax deductions which have a basis in price or wage control violations. Wtapon Available Johnston declared: "This is a weapon we are pre pared to use whenever we have no other choice whenever the sta bilization program is threatened by deliberate defiance. "We may be approaching that situation right now with respect to some of the most important Hems in short supply such as metals, such as beef." Without elaborating on his ref ences to "beef and metals," Johnston continued: "I want to serve notice right now that we are going to give no quar ter to black marketeers, and will use all of our powers against them."

Johnston, speaking extemporan eously, disgressed from his pre pared text, but he authorized its use. He claimed that the consumer price index has risen only o n e percent since ne nas been in omce. Beef Situation Bad, Probably Will Get Worse By The Auoclated Preis The beef situation is tightening up. Many signs indicate it will probably get worse before it gets any better. Even the army is having trou ble buying meat. It announced that it might have to seek to buy beef overseas. According to the army quarter master market center at Chicago, some major packers have not been able to bid on the army's request for 13,000,000 pounds of boneless beef needed to feed troops through out the nation. The latest difficulties of t h e packers stem from sharply in creased costs of beef on the hoof increases which they say have more than onset tne penny-a-pound boost the packers were al lowed by the Office of Price Sta bilization. Wholesale beef prices are ad vancing. Supplies in the big pack ing houses are running low. Ranchers are holding back their cattel. More meat is reported finding its way into the black mar ket. Office of Price Stabilization in vestigators were dispatched this week to Chicago, Cleveland, Phil adelphia and other major packing centers. Democratic, Republican Heats Swap Opinions Over President Truman's Chances For Re-Election Next Year By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH , WASHINGTON' (AP) A Democrat's assertion President Truman "can beat anybody at the polls in 1952 brought Republican retorts that the GOP presidential nomi nee will win if he wages a fighting campaign. And ' a Republican's prediction that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower vill be "available" for the party's nomination evoked from Serafor Brewster (R-Me) the statement that Eistnhowsei is now more than ever the indispensable man in Europe." Brewster is plugging Senator Taft (R-Ohio) for the nomination. Edward J. Flynn, Democratic national committeeman from New York, said after a White House call that Mr. Truman could de feat any opponent next year, in cluding Eisenhower. At the capitol bit later, Harry Darby, Kan:vis Republican na tional committeman, laid of Ei senhower: "He's always been a great sold ier and we feel he will submit to the will of the people and be available for the Republican nom ination." Flynn declared the Republicans "can t beat somebody with no body," and that they have nothin but "blatherskites and stuffed shirts." Senator Raft Dissents As for Flynn's forecast that Mr. Truman can beat anybody, Taft commented: W "The Republican nominee, if he puts on the right kind of cam paign, would defeat Mr. Truman. But it must be the right kind of campoin." Taft indicated he thinks the wron sort of campaln would be the kind New York's Governor Thomas E. Detey conducted as Republican presidentail candidate in 1948. Senator Wiley (R-Wis) brushed aside Flynn's optimism regarding Mr. Truman's chcances as "whistl ing in the dark and wishful wish ing."

Eisenhower it doing a great job In Europe. "But every development since my return indicates he is now more than ever the indispensable man in Europe. It seems to me increas ingly doubtful that he will be able to turn to activities other than Hie unification of Europe. - On the Democrats' side, Senator Humphrey (D-Minn) said he agrees with Flynn that Mr. Tru man can win next year. Asked whether the president could de feat Eisenhower, Humphrey re plied: "I am saying only this: Mr. Truman can win in 1952. I hope he runs. I'm for him." Auto Industry Lacks Materials To Meet Goals By DAVID J. WILKIE AP Automotive Editor DETROIT UP) Some auto industry experts are saying the car makers cannot build 1,100,000 passenger cars in this year's final quarter. That's the maximum output total set by the National Production authority for the October-Decem ber quarter. Rumor has it the NPA figure will be further re duced because of materials short ages. Industry authorities say, how ever, that regardless of NPA ac tion, the car companies will not be able to find enough material to build more than 800,000 pas senger cars in the final three months of this year.
