By DRFW PEARSON WASHINGTON — The situation inside the office of fumbling War Reconverter John Snyder is so! bad it can't go on much longer. It got so confused the other day that Lt. Gen. Levin H. Campbell Jr.,; chief of ordnance, and one of the| ablest executives in the War De- partment, walked out of Snyder's: office. Campbell had been loaned to Snyder to help with the recon- version job, but the mess was too much for him. Another climax came last week when Snyder informed Truman secretly that he would not testify for the administration - supported | bill to raise minimum wages to 65, cents an hour. Snyder was to have been one of the key witnesses. The bill is considered one of the most important pieces of legislation on the Truman calendar, and aims to keep buying power at a high level r to prevent depression. Snyder, after backing and filling, finally wrote his boss in the White House a confidential memo saying that he did not believe in the 65- cent-minimum-wage law, that some employers couldn’t afford to pay| it, and that he could not testify. | How long Truman will go along} with his old Missouri National| Guard friend remains to be seen. He has been very patient so far. (Note — Many capital observers believe Truman's most serious mis-|alarm 1-5 called the Volunteer for time rates, the Chamber asserted.

In Detroit, CIO United Auto Work- ers Union officials awaited a manage- ment reply to its proposal for arbi- tration of the 30 percent wage in- crease by a three-man board. i Meanwhile, John W.
