Attitude Of 'Beef, Metals'
Near 'Deliberate Defiance'
NEW YORK -VP! 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 did not enlarge on the
tax amendment, either.
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

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." Like Taft. Wiley said the Re
publicans can take over the White

House, but "this time we must
have someone who will take the
aggressive initiative. '
Br.witer Echoes Raft
Told of Darby's forecast that
Eisenhower will be available for
the Republican nomination, Brew
ster declared:
"Whomever the Republicans se
lect as their candidate will win
next year. 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.

it seems a safe prediction right
now that despite the newest price
