Harder Hurdles Face
Price-ControI Bill
In House Tomorrow
Coalition Drive Forecast
To Force Measure
Back to Committee
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Victorious over much broader
substitute proposal, the administra-
backed price control bill found
new difficulties ahead today as
House groups lined up for an at
tempt to force the legislation back
to committee for additional study
and perhaps drastic revision.
There was temporary lull in the
active battle, for the House was
celebrating the second Thanksgiving
Day with recess. This postponed
until tomorrow a vote on whether
the measure should carry a clause
empowering the Government to buy
and sell commodities to keep their
prices stable. The administration
favors such a provision.
The pending bill weatnered its
first test yesterday by margin of
218 to 50, when the House crushed
control of all prices, rents and wages
FOR the administration plan of i'm
posing price ceilings on only those
commodities whose prices got out of
line.
Presented by Gore.
The overall price ceiling proposal
was presented by Representative
Gore. Democrat, of Tennessee, who
already had fought the issue out
and been defeated in the House
Banking Committee. His proposal
embodied the ideas of Bernard M.
Baruch. chairman of the old War
Industries Board
Important opposition was still
brewing on two important points in
the bill The Republicans were
dead set against proposal to license
dealers handling regulated commod-
tiles. and representative of farm
States did not favor the omission of
wage control. This double diSSatis-
faction evoked speculation on the
possibility of a coalition drive for
recommital
Apparently in recognition of this
Majority Leader Mccormack took
the floor late in yesterdays debate
to caution the farm bloc that the
measure was "eminently fair to agri-
culture and that recommittal prob
ably would mean a bill far more
drastic
The possibility remained. how
ever, that the farm group would at
tempt to tack on a wage-control
amendment on the grounds that
ceilings over commodities auto
matically would put a roof on the
income of agricultural producers.
Buy-and- Sell Clause.
For the present, House attention
focused on the "buy-and-sell" clause
demanded by the administration, a
provision which gained the support
of the Banking Committee after a
long and bitter dispute among its
members over the potential effect
on private business.
This proposition is un-Americar
and vicious" protested Representa-
tive Crawford, Republican, of Mich
igan. 1T would put the Government
into business against every producer
and every merchandiser in the coun-
try"
Its reprehensible," concluded
Representative Wolcott, Republican,
of Michigan, as he argued that it
would permit the Government to
buy in foreign markets and flood
and destroy" this country's pro-
ducers.
Representative Patman. Democrat
of Texas countered with the conten-
tion that the amendment was neces-
sary for national defense. We're in
an emergency" he shouted after
conceding that he didn't like these
powers either"

Fire At CCC' Camp
Races Main Building
Loss At Leipslc Is Placed At From
$4,000 TO $4,000

Destruction by fire of the Off
GERS quarters at the Leipsic CCC
camp last Saturday left the four
occupants with only the clothing
they were wearing at the time the
blaze started to sweep through the
one-story frame structure.
The main building, about 80 by
20 feet, and the wing, about 20 by
is feet, were burned to the ground
and the furnishings, clothing, and
personal belongings of the men
were destroyed. No one was in the
building when the fire started.
The building was the sleeping and
living quarters of Lieutenant JOS
epb ]. Longobardi, company COM
mander; Lieutenant Karlin 1. San
tow, Andred Dalrymple, a subal-
tern, and Thomas A. Brown, edu-
cational adviser. Brown is of New
York and the others are of Brook
lyn.
Lieutenant Longobardi estimated
the damage at from $4,000 to $4,000.
His personal belonging were val
ued by him from $500 to $500. The
only item he succeeded in salvaging
after the fire were his automobile
keys.
When smoke was seen coming
from the building, fire extinguish-
ers and the camp bucket brigade
went into action. But it was inn
mediately realized they could not
cope with the blaze. Calls were sent
to the Robbins Rose Company, Do
yer, and the Cheswold Fire Com
pany. Cheswold used its tank wag-
on and the Dover firemen pumped
between $4,000 and 10000 gallons
of water from the Leipsic Greek
before extinguishing the blaze.
The camp bucket brigade kept
the nearby mess hall wet with wa
ter to keep sparks from setting 1t
afire.
