Truman Asks For
Continued Power
WASHINGTON. (iPi—President
Truman today asked Congress to
extend for a year beyond June 30
his authority to control domestic
use and export of a few materials
**to prevent harm to our own econ
omy and give concrete support to
our foreign policy.”
He said in a message it is essen
tia! to maintain domestic control,
by priority and allocation, over
♦in fibers and cordage, antimony,
^"chona bark, and quinine.
Mr. Truman also asked <1>—im
port control authority over a few
, foods—fits and oils and rice and
’•ic° products: (2>—import con
trols and exDort priorities on ni-1
trogen fertilizer; and <3»—export
o~iorit:es on key industrial prod
uct needed for foreign recon-;
struction and rehabilitation.
In asking import control over i
fats, oils and rice, Mr. Truman
r aid that the food situation abroad j
“continues to e desperate.” It ;s j
necessary, he added, that the
American people “do not ado to1
the hunger of other people by im
porting more than our agreed
share of scarce foods.”
, While fertilizer production has
risen “spectacularly” since the
war’s end, he said, the supply
available for foreign countries
has fallen. Only in “special cases”
certitied by the secretary of state,
he added, will export priorities on
machinery and other “key indus
trial items.” be issued

Magnuson Asks
Rale Suspension
m;P» Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON. <A*> — Senator
Ivl ignuson «D.-Wash.) urged the
maritime commiss on yesterday to
hoiJ hearings on proposed >U*am
h.p rate inc: eases to Alaska
“within the ncx, few weeks.”
iie tolc! ihe commission he had
it has declined to
spsii i the rates as asked • b}
A.as .a pending a hearing, and
said the “present action without
tearing*, seem.- unwise, especially
:n view of th$ benefits conferred
through the subsidy provision re
cently enacted by Congress.'
These provisions permit char
ging ves.els to the private com
panies at nominal rates and the
government recapturing 75 per
cent of profits above 10 per cent.
Magnuson continued in a let
ter:
“As perhaps you know, the cost
of living in Alaska is now so high
that it is a serious deterrent to
permanent settlement there. Yet
the development of Alaska is an
essential national policy. Also, the
President has publicly, stated his
desire to keep price levels down
and even to reduce them.
“In the circumstances, I would
like to request, since you did not
see fit to accede to the request of
the Alaska officials to suspend the
rate increases until after a hear
ing could be held, that this hear
ing be held within the next few
weeks.”
