Construction of
Factories
WASHINGTON, April 20 VP)
A decision by WPB's chemicals
division to defer construction of
five projected grain alcohol
plants without the "full agree
ment" of Rubber Director Wil

of protests today from members
of a senate agriculture sub-committee.
The committee voted to call
Jeffers soon to get his reaction.
Elmer Davis, director of the of
fice of war information, will be
called at the same time to allow
an investigation of differences
between the two officials over
publicity respecting the rubber
program.

Presidents Meet
Flanked by high officials of
their governments, the two
presidents exchanged warm
handclasps as soon as Mr.
Roosevelt's special train pulled
in from Texas. Guns boomed a
salute which echoed through the
streets of Mexico's Pittsburgh.
Mr. Roosevelt had told re
porters in advance that ' he
would discuss with Avila Ca
macho about many things, in
cluding the future of the two
sister Pan-American nations.
Naturally enough, he disclosed
no specific points that would be
brought up.
While relationships have been
strained at times, no major issues
now exist between the United
States and Mexico, so the confer
ences could take place in an at
mosphere, of true cordiality. ; .
Announcements Seen
It remained to be seen wheth
er any. announcements of results
of the deliberations would be
forthcoming or whether they
would bring about even greater
cooperation to smash the axis
powers and restore world peace.
Mr. .Roosevelt's -arrival - in
Monterrey marked his first offi
cial visit to Mexican soil. Early
this year he had traveled to Cas

ence with Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill of England, a
conference which they said had
laid the groundwork for inva
