ard Baruch has suggested that
President Truman look in his
White House files for the indus
trial mobilization plan which
the president denied receiving.
In a ship to shore conversa

Baruch said:
"The record will justify what
I said, If the president will ex
amine the correspondence on the
subject he will find that it was
not I who was misinformed."
The newspaper quoted Baruch
as saying the plan had been sub
mitted to the president by Ar
thur M. Hill, then chairman of
the national security resources
board, in May or June of 1948
Baruch told the newspaper
that John R. Steelman, assistant
to the president, had later ad
vised him that the president dis
approved of the plan at that
time.
Baruch charged In an address
last Tuesday that the president
was obstructing plans for the
nation s mobilization. The pres

ence yesterday that the board
had presented such a plan ' or
that he had rejected it.

Boston No Hit
With Salemites
Boston known to Boston
ians as the Hub or THE center of
the nation was a subject of dis
cussion and derision Friday for
members of the Salem credit as
sociation who attended the re
cent international retail cred
it asociation convention there.
"My impression of the theme
of the week," Francis Smith,
chairman of the Salem group,
said, "was the one expression,
Hot, ain't it.'
"And lobster? They can keep
it," Smith continued, "and so
far as the people are concerned,
all the smart fellows from Har
vard must have gone to Wash
ington or New York. You could
n't find them in Boston."
Smith also expressed his dis
pleasure at failing to find any
but "cute witches" in Salem;
Mass.
His sentiments were confirm
ed .by two other confirmed Sa
lemites Alta Myers and Bessie
Kayser who also attended the
meeting in the bean city where
they even failed to find beans.
County to Exam
Old Senior High
County Judge Grant Murphy
stated that he and Dr. W. J
Stone, head of the Marion coun
ty health department, plan in
the near future to investigate
the possibility of part of the old
Salem senior high school build
ing being available for use by
the health department, even be
fore other county offices move
in there when a new courthouse
is being built and abandoning
the present offices in the Mason
ic building.
Quarters in the Masonic build
ing are becoming cramped, he
said, and with funds becoming
available from the Kellog foun
dation for the nurses' training
program will become even more
so as the program develops. Ex
pansion in the Masonic building
for additional health department
use is presenting more compli
cations and will become diffi
cult, he said, necessitating con
siderable shifting of offices.
The matter came up as the
county judge was submitting to
the court a plan being worked
out for putting into effect park
ing regulations around the court
house grounds when a new law
goes into effect authorizing the
court to control such parking,
even by penal methods if neces
sary. A number of spaces are as
signed to the health depart
ment and he pointed out if the
health department is moved to
the old high school building it
also will alleviate that situa
tion. The plan as outlined for
courthouse parking now would
assign 25 spaces to employes and
leave nine open for public use.
New Purchasing
Agency for U.S.
Washington, July 1 (&) The
government put a new agency
to work today at mass purchas
ing for most federal bureaus, in
a move to save money.
It was suggested as an econ
omy step in the government
reorganization plan of the bi
partisan commission headed by
Former President Herbert Hoov
er. Congress finished legislation
setting up the new general serv
ices administration yesterday
and President Truman quickly
signed the bill into law.
At ts head Mr. Truman placed
a former army colonel and
Oklahoma lawyer, -Jess Larson.
Larson has been serving as
federal works administrator. But
before that he was Uncle Sam's
biggest merchandise salesman,
disposing of billions of dollars
worth of surplus government
properly as warr assets adminis
trator. His nomination for the job of
general services administrator
was due to go to the senate to
day. His duties would be to han
dle property management and
buying for a group of major
agencies. Some government
departments, like the military,
will continue to do their own
buying and housekeeping
chores.
28.85 Percent Gain
In Postal Receipts
An increase of $14,019.91, or
28.85 percent was shown by the
Salem post office in the matter
of receipts for June of this year
over a corresponding period in
1948, according to a report is
sued Friday by Postmaster Al
bert C. Gragg. Receipts for
June were $62,581.62 as com
pared with $48,561.17 for the
same month a year ago. The
postmaster had no explanatoin
for the increase other than it
reflected a continuing upswing
in population and general busi
ness. For the six months period
ending June 30, receipts of the
Salem post office were $381,-
993.07 as against $336,193.46 for
the first half of 1948. This is a
gain of $45,799.61 or 13.6 per
cent.

Senate Group
(Continued from Pose 1)
Another section would in
crease a federal authorization
of $100,000 a year to $2,500,000
for providing forest-tree seeds
and plants on a matching basis.
Additional Sections
A third section would boost
from $100,000 to $500,000 an
nually the federal contribution
to slates for educational pro
grams dealing with production
management programs.
Two additional sections ap
proved by the house were
stricken by the senate commit
tee.
One would have authorized
direct technical assistance to
farmers and forest owners in
planting, management and har
vesting of timber crops with a
$1,000,000 federal contribution.
The other sought to revise
and consolidate previous federal
forestry programs to eliminate
overlapping and duplication.
The Morse bill would expand
present authorizations of $17
500,000 for 1950 and 1951 for
building access roads to and in
national forests to $30,000,000
each year.
