Meat Control
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (Sec
retary of Agriculture Anderson to
day asked congress for stand-by
authority to control wholesale meat
prices, but expressed the opinion
there will be no need for retail price
ceilings on meat.
The secretary told the senate
banking committee "we do need and
we may have to use select price
controls" on meat, and added:
. "If we have meat price control
at wholesale, Hint probably would
be sufficient."
He did not make it clear whether
he favors ceilings on live cattle,
such as wore In effect under OPA,
or whether he felt controls should
be applied only to meat sold by
packers.
Chairman Tobey tR-N.H.) said
In advance of the committee meet

do some unorthodox things" nnd
mentioned the possibility of ration

press belief they may hnve been
California mobsters, were being

shop and its proprietor's apartment.
The five gunmen accosted Oscar

Scuttlebutt
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 12 W)
The commandant of the U. S. ma

port that leathernecks would be sent
to protect the American consulate
in Palestine.
Gen. Clifton B. Cates, in an in
terview yesterday before a rally
opening Marine Corps Reserve Week
here, said the Palestine situation is
"none of our official business."
Cntes and Fleet Admiral William
F. Hnlsey Jr. were among the top
ranking officers attending the rally
In Philadelphia Convention hall.
More than 17,000 persons, many of
them marine corps veterans, packed
the hall while another 9000 were
unable to enter.
General Cates told a reporter that
the announced dispatch of 1000 ma
rines to the Mediterranean was
"pcrfecUy normal" and that the
contingent "will merely replace
those already there."
"Were not looking for trouble."
General Cates said, "nnd If we did.
we wouldn't be sending a scrub
team to take the place of the
varsity."
Admiral Halsey reminded the
wildly cheering gathering that
"American history is not all behind
us."
"New pages," he said, "will be
written this year and in the coming
decade. I hnve no doubt that the
most interesting footnotes will be
written by the marines."

WASHINGTON, Jan. It WV-.
Commodity trading by Senator El
mer Thomaa (D-Okla.) drew the
attention of Investigating colleagues
today at Edwin W. Pauley an
nounced he had made $932,703 la
commodity speculation during the
last three years,
Pauley, special aaalatant to Sec
retary of Army Royall, made thi
statement of hla profits In a tele
tram to Harold E. Htaasen In which
he accused the republican presl
dentlal aspirant of "false state
ments." He told Stnssen he would "ex
pose" him If the former Minnesota
governor returns to testify before a
senate appropriations subcommittee
looking Into Stassen's accusations
that government "insiders" profited
in commodity dealing.
Made Million
Stassen told the committee last
week that Pauley had made almost
$1,000,000 In the market and con
tended the former democraUc na
tional treasurer had not told the
group of all his operations. ,
Pauley insisted In the telegram
that he already had given the com
mittee the information and added:
"Why not stop the pretense aa
well as the evasion."
Senator Thomas acknowledged
over the week-end that he had
dealt In commodities and other
markets for years but, like Pauley
asserted he had not made use of
any Inside Information.
- Whether the committee will for
mally investigate Thomas' dealing,
however, was left unanswered.
Asked about Thomas' statement,
Committee Chairman Ferguson IB
Mich.) told reporters:
"The committee haa not changed
the attitude that it's always had.
It will go thoroughly Into the whole
matter." f
In his telegram last night, Pauley
insisted that Stassen had not mad '
any "disclosure" about Pauley's
speculative profits of almost $1,
000.000. He said:
"Instead of openly admitting that
it was I. not yon, who had disclosed
this figure and that yon were
simply reading from the certified
figures which I bad valantarily sub
mitted and which had been handed
you for your 'e before and during
your appearance before the com
