These included such vital works as ship- yards, aircraft factories, iron and steel plants and air bases. Next day, Johnson called on the President “personally, urged him to step in before the government frit- tered away all its war surplus. At that point, Truman finally moved. Belatedly, Secretary of Defense James Forresici, War Assets Ad- ministrator Jess Larson, Munitions Boa~d Chairman Thomas Hargrave, and National Security Resources Board Chairman Arthur Hill held an emergency meeting Hargrave was president of East- man Kodak, director of the Na- ers, and was appointed chairman of the Munitions Board by For- restal because he was supposed to| be an expert on industrial mobili- | ration. Hill, another Forrestal appointee, was chairman of the Greyhound Bus Corporation and its far-flung subsidiaries, and was made of the Resources Board because he was supposed to be an expert on industry. But, though the administration had bombarded Congress with plans on manpower mobilization, these two men reported they were not ready with any recommenda- tions on war-plant mobilization However, they did agree to freeze war plant sales for 30 days. These are the men supposed to be guarding the nation’s war pow- er, but who still would be selling war plants had it not been for the persistence of one defense- minded Congressman NO MORE WHEAT RUST So much emphasis is placed on atomic energy for military pur- poses that we don't hear much about its peacetime possibilities Also not much money, proportion- ately, is spent on development of peacetime atomic energy One thing Chairman Lilienthal cdidn't tell the press when he came out of the White House the other | successfully changing head | s Tow . 11 | number at birth |is in this somewh: integer goes agair what Mr. Capt, W out of hand as “¥ But a second { favorable light. at birth anyhow. | present practice {come used | great war.

So, in reply to the Stassen let- ter asking him for money, Green politely requested a complete re- port on how much money Stassen had raised and whom it came from. SOUTHPAW TRUMAN When |the baseball season last week, he confided to friends that he had planned to use his right hand rather than his left. Actually, the President throws much better left-handed, but he planned to toss out the first ball with his right just to keep the boys guessing. However, the group of ball play- ers waiting for the catch was so far aw that at the last minute Truma: decided he had better throw left-handed if he hoped to make the throw on the fly. toss a grounder, he figured, might prompt press comment, so Truman switched to his more reliable southpaw.
