Eitobliihed 1873 Controls President's Request For 2 Years Futile Tight Restrictions To Be Eased, Congress Spokesman Declares WASHINGTON UB President Truman will get a controls exten sion law on the books this vear. but not with all of the changes he is seeking. This is the Initial Congressional action on the controls message sent by the President to Capitol Hill Tuesday. Mr. Truman asked a two . duction Actthe law that carries -trice, wage, rent and credii con rols plus production and alloca tion powers for the mobilization drive. Republican lawmakers available for comment .Wednesday said the President would probably get a one year extension of the law rather than the two years sought by the White House. They also said they would try to ease the present "stifling controls" instead of strengthening them as Mr, Tmman asked. Capehart Amendment Scored The iesidenti,il message partic ularly criticized four provisions of the present law which he said "se riously weakened" controls. They included the so-called Capehart Amendment, which allows manu facturers and processors to get price boosts to cover cose increases between the start of the Korean War and July 26, 1951. Senate GOP Floor Leader Styles Bridges (N.H.) said the President was trying to make the Capehart and other amendments "scape goats for his administration's fail ure to extinguish the fires of in flation." ' Tha act should- be extended, Bridges said, "but our efforts should be directed toward easing stifling controls instead of toward strangulation of productivity by government bosses." Soma key Democratic lawmak ers also indicated less than whole hearted support for the White House requests.

Browdy, president of the Zion ist Organization of America, said President Truman told him Wednesday he will make up his mind "within the next 10 to IS days" whether to run for reelec tion. Browdy, after a call at the White House also told reporters: "Judging by his remarks, I'd say he will run again. I personally hope he will." But anoiher White House caller, who saw Truman right after Brow- ! dy, had an entirely different re port. Abraham Feinberg, New York hosiery manufacturer, said he asked the President directly wheth er he would be a candidate, Fein berg added: "He said he hadn't made up his mind whether to Tun, hasn't had time to, and did not plan to make his decision for some .time to come." And a little later. Presidential Secretary Joseph Short, told a news conference that Browdy was not authorized to quote the President. Nor, Short added, was Rep.

Bills Affect ' Split Of Land Grant Money Oregon Counties Would Get 50 Per Cent Or Less Instecd Of Present 77 WAsniwr:TrM m n.nAH in revenues from O. & C. timber lands, it was revealed here Tues day when a House appropriations subcommittee made public recent testimony, A number of Oregon counties now receive 75 per cent of the receipts from the sale of timber on O. & C. lands. The remainder goes to the federal government. Marion Clawson, Bureau of Land Management director, said that bills now in both the House and Senate proposed dividing the rev enues evenly between the counties and the government. That would mean the counties' revenues would be cut one third. Clawson also said his bureau would recommend amending these bills so all government administra tive expenses would be deducted before the 50-50 split is made. That would reduce tiie counties' share still further. Access Roads At Stakt The matter came up during dis cussion of a $700,000 program for access roads in the O. & C. lands. The House committee rejected a similar request for access road money last year, but an appro priation, granted by the Senate. remained in a compromise bill worked out by Senate and House conferees. Ciawson said that under the pres ent 75-25 split, the government has not lost money. Administrative costs have been less than the gov ernment's share, he said. Rep. Norell, D-Ark., questioned Clawson's statement. "That is broad statement and might be sub ject to a.gument. Frankly I'm not convinced," he said.
