Blttner Offered The document, photographic copies of originals, had been of fered by Frank O. Bittner, Jr., St. Louis shoe manufacturer and former associate of President Truman's naval aide in the Var daman Shoe company. Bittner claimed that Vardaman had "de frauded" him through a sale of 9375 shares of stock in the com pany on Jan. 16, 1942, less than a month before it went into bank ruptcy court for reorganization. i Samuel E.

Schwellenbach Plugs Truman Bills in Speech PORTLAND, Ore., March 21 Secretary , of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach urged Americans today to support President Tru man and carry their "passionate zeal" of wartime into peacetime problems. In a speech prepared for de livery at a Jackson 'day dinner here tonight, Schwellenbach com pared President Truman's "cour age and faith" to that of Andrew Jackson, and declared that "the American people, regardless of their politics, must stand behind and support him in the terrific tasks that lie ahead." Most of his speech was devoted to three points in the President's legislative program: full employ ment and a minimum wage; the British loan; the housing plan. Schwellenbach told the demo cratic dinner that the legislative program was an attempt to solve problems arising from this coun try's richness. "We have learned how to produce wealth in over whelming abundance, but we have not learned how to distribute it," he said. He declared that the full em ployment bill and 65 cent mini mum wage were proposed not be cause "we fancied the words" but because they were necessary to keep domestic purchasing power high enough to sustain full pro duction. The cabinet member described the British loan as another essen tial to absorb increased American production. 7900 Troops Near Ports By th AssociaUd Press Close to ?900 home-bound vet erans are ' scheduled to arrive aboard 10 ; vessels at six U. 8 ports today.
