DALLAS Tex, June 30.-It ap-
peared today that only a miracle
could save Miracle Man w. Lee
ODaniel from his first election de-
feat. A 32-year-old friend of the
President, Representative Lyndon
johnson, was all but elected Texas

sentative Johnson, who campaigned
on Roosevelt and unity" platform,
had lead of 1861 ballots over the
51-year-old Gov. ODaniel, who
twice became Texas Governor to
the tune of hillbilly music, honey
poetry and a smooth radio voice.
Totals of the four major candl-
dates when the Texas Election Bu-
reau shut down at 9 o'clock last
night with 116 out of 254 counties

Representative Johnson, 167,47l:
Gov. O'Daniel. 1629l0; Attorney

Election Bureau estimated between
Is 900 and $4,000 votes still out.
A plurality only was required for
election to the seat vacated on the
death last April of Senator Shep-
pard. The term will run until jan
uary /, l943. Eighty-sevenyear-old
Andrew Jackson Houston, named by
Gov. ODaniel to fill the post until
new Senator was elected, died Fri
day in Baltimore.
Bob Johnson, election bureau
manager, predicted victory for Rep
resentative Johnson, saying only
miracle could give Gov. ODaniel
chance to overcome the 4.56l-vote
lead.
Representative Johnson's impend-
ing victory came in competition
with three veterans who had never

Measure
Torn 10 Pieces BY
Congress Chiefs
Defense Area Definition
Major Objection;
New Plan Due Soon
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The administration, 1t was dis
closed today, has presented COM
pulsory price-fixing legislation to
Congress, only to have it literally
torn to pieces" and rejected by
legislative leaders.
The legislation, congressional au-
thorities reported. would have au-
thorized a limit form of price and
rent control. restricted to defense
areas
Informed sources said the pro-
posal was submitted to House
Speaker Rayburn and other con-
gressional leaders by Leon Hender-
son, price control administrator, and
his aides.
1T was literally torn to pieces
in the conference" one legislator
said, land the upshot was that
Henderson was advised to revamp
the bill drastically in conjunction
with the legislative drafting serv-
ice before resubmitting it,"
Revised Measure Due Soon.
There was no indication when the
revised measure would be ready,
but influential House members ex-
pressed belief it would not be long
delayed
A major objection to the first pro-
posal, it was learned, was that it
would necessitate definition of de-
fense areas.
How are We going to do that"
one member asked, with carpenters
and mechanics committing as much
as so miles each day to and from
their work."
Forecastlng a storm of contro-
versy in Congress if and when such
legislation is presented, leaders said,
however, the administration made
strong case in favor of mandatory
control of some sort over prices.
Earlier this month, Mr.. Henderson
told House Appropriations Sub
committee that at the proper time.
he believed President Roosevelt
would recommend the necessary
legislation.
Price Stability, Not Control.
Outlining his own views on the
subject, Mr.. Henderson said at that
time:
Il do not believe that you can
keep a rigid price control in any
country without complete control
over all the elements of cost I
believe that within the American
I fra foh hi ift-
of prices and relationship of prices
by utilizing these methods that
have outlined
1T would be almost miraculous
it would be miraculous-if the price
level and the cost of living did not
go up. We have examined into the
price-control mechanisms of Eng
land, Germany. Japan and Canada
and we know that the thing to be
sought is price stability and not
rigid control"
Sees Penalties Necessary.
In that connection. Mr.. Henderson
said that as result of the enormous
pressure being exerted on the price
level by the defense program, he
thought additional legislation carry
ing legal penalties for violations
would be necessary to supplement
the present voluntary control sys-
TEN.
You can't get acceptance Of a
| ceiling and get voluntary COM
pliance." he said. but if you do not
get that general acquiescence by the
major producers. there is no system
of control short of an anti-demo-
cratic control that could keep prices
in line"
