fessed growing confidence today
that inroads into the Democratic
vote by Henry A. Wallace this
fall will help elect a GOP Presi

As the committee assembled to
approve a campaign budget and
apportion delegates to the June
nominating convention in Phila
delphia, national chairman Car
roll Reece said Wallace’s entry
into the race has resulted in “the
separate efforts now being made
by Mr. Truman to recover his dis
reputable lost ‘foreign legion’.”
Rep. Katherine St. George of
New York assayed the effect of
Wallace’s third party campaign
in a speech to the national com
mittee last night in these words:
“Merciful providence has sent
him as a candidate at this time.”
Senator Bricker of Ohio, the
Republican vice presidential nom
inee in 1944, told me same ban
quet meeting “We are going to
nominate a President in June.”

Congress At Odds
Over “Get Ready”
Meat Rationing
WASHINGTON OP)—Chairman
Tobey (R.-N. H.) of the Senate
banking committee came out yes
terday in favor of a “get ready”
meat rationing law.
But Rep. Wolcott (R.-Mich.>,
who heads the House banking
group, said he still is opposed to
granting President Truman any
•more “cost of living powers” “un
til we see what use he makes of
the powers we already have given
him to control inflation.”
Actually the legislation spon
sored by two of Wolcott’s Repub
lican colleagues, Senator Flanders
(Vt.) and Rep. Javits (N. Y.), sim
ply would authorize the adminis
tration to get ready for meat ra
tioning.
Their bill would let the agrkrul
ture department go so far as t<
print ration books, but Congres
could veto any move to put th
program into effect.
