THE PRESIDENT Brought up memo of Secty of Commerce re LaFollette-Monroney Reorganization Bill. Thinks Atty Gen should go into matter and discuss with Secty of Commerce. According to bill the President can not make an Executive Budget. WALLACE Monroney is convinced that the approach of this bill is correct. ANDERSON Discussed the farm machinery strikes at J. I. Case Co. and Allis Chalmers. If govt did take over we would have great difficulty in get- - ting right personnel to operate - Parts are committed by suppliers to other concerns - There will be further delay in getting production. 6% of total farm machinery from Allis Chalmers. 7% comes from Case. Not all down and the only deficit is 5% of total farm machinery production at this time. In other words 5% of industry does not tie up crop harvest.
