Differing widely from other farm
minded members of Congress. Sen
ator Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois to-
day urged immediate enactment of
price-control legislation.
Il think we've waited six months
too long now" he said in an inter-

in much better shape if we had put
in some effective price stabilization

Senator Lucas support for price

To criticize those who contend
that price control might mean the
end OF this country's free economy,
Mr.. Baruch said that the demands
Of total defense already had sus-
pended our competitive economy
and declared the real question was,
will our industrial mobilization
prove effective?"
In that connection, he asserted
that the effective mobilization of
American industry was the greatest
single contribution this Nation can
make to the cause of defense and to
bringing any war to a shortened,
successful conclusion" He added:
To-day the very fact of our in
dustrial mobilization would be a
diplomatic and military triumph of

Once American industry has been
modified in all Its potency and
terrible military might" he said, this
country could be the dominating

Then again would apply the
opinion of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg at the end of the World
War that American industrial mo-
bilization was the cause of German

Discussing the faults he saw in
the present defense setup, Mr.
Baruch said:

He described the German panzer
tactics as continually surrounding
Russian forces ranging from COM
panies to divisions, with the Russians
repeatedly sitting out of the encir-
clement. though often losing their
equipment in doing so.
Loss of material on both sides has
been heavy, he said. and ii is plain
that the issue is one of German
factory production against that of
the United States, plus the problem
of delivering American products via

Seal Clement Attlee announced to-
day the House of Commons will
hold a secret session soon on eco
nomic warfare.
The Ministry of Information
again was on the griddle in House
debate when Laborite David Adams
asked whether the ministry was not
aware of adverse opinion in the
U. S. A. from the governments re-
fusal to publish data showing loss
in the transit of war materials from
American
Undersecretary Harold Nicholson
reiterated the governments policy,
however, of not publishing news
which would give the enemy pre-
else facts on matters on which he
can only make wild guesses."
Edgar Granville, Liberal, asked,
"In view of the speeches by Amer
lean leaders, is this not the kind Of
information which would have
diplomatic advantage if given to
America, and unless the department
gives this information it places the
American press and people at the
mercy of DR.. Goebbels and his
propaganda Department."
Mr.. Nicholson said the ministry
had the matter constantly in mind
and promised a statement from AL
fred Duff Cooper, Minister of In
formation, in the near future.

Split seconds may help the Senate

or Joseph Roster as West Virginia S
Democratic junior Senator, succeed
ing M. M. Nicely, who resigned to
become Governor.
A minority of the Elections Com
mittee, on the eve Of today's debate
on the seating contest, insisted that
the sole question" was whether Mr..
Nicely or former Gov. Homer A. Holt
held office as Governor when the
Senate vacancy occurred about mid
night, January II.
That question, however, is tangled
in complications ranging from
whether a signature can be written

He referred to his certificate Of

just at the stroke of midnight.
At the same time an oath of ofiice
was taken by Mr.. Nicely, whose
selection of Mr.. Roster, former pres

proval by 9-to-8 vote.
But before Mr.. Nicely could take

the oath he had to resign from
office as Senator. He did that also
just at midnight.
Between Mr.. Neely's resignation
and oath as Governor, Mr.. Holt
and Mr.. Martin contend, a vacancy
existed in the Senate. Under State
law, they argued, Mr.. Holt, as Gov
ernor, was empowered, and required,
to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Nicely disagreed. He argued
that his resignation and induction
as Governor we're simultaneous,
that there was no interval in which
Mr.. Holt could act.

Roosevelt Elated Over 1911
lnfantile Paralysis Campaign

Washington, July 3O-President
Roosevelt, elated over the new
high record achieved in the 1941
Infantile Paralysis campaign, to-
day sent a letter of thanks to the
nearly $4,000 chairmen who took
part in the drive.
Just a week ago today at the
White House, the President re-
ceived from Keith Morgan, Nat
ional Chairman of the Committee
for the Celebration of the Presi-
dents Birthday, and Basil O'Con-
nor, President of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis, the campaign report and au-
dit showing that net total of
$2,104, 46O.53 was raised-exceed-
ing all former records by 49.5
per cent.
The President, in the letter,
said he believed the magnificent
results of the campaign were due
to three things:
l. The 'tireless work" of the
NATIONAL Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis in combating the disease
and in creating Chapters through
out the country.
2. The Enthusiasm and intelli-
gent support of the thousands of
State, County and Local Chair
men.
8. The "quick, generous support
of all citizens.
The President referred to cpl
denies of infantile paralysis now
raging in several states in the
South and said: "You may feel
somewhat comforted by the fact
that through the National Found
alton, competent machinery is
now coping with this scourge."
In thanking thousands of cam
paign workers, the President said:

My Soul
Bv C.. MI, Dickson


Wrapped in this mould of clay
Is my immortal soul;
To it is charged each day,
To strive to reach the goal.
While in this mortal frame,
Earth's battles it must fight,
But if above 'twould reign,
Must battle for the right.
No missiles ascend the air,
No sounds of cannon heard;
In my bosom must there glare
a light to set my soul astir.
To him whose sould is still un-
born;
Whose conscience is dead asleep;
How sad, forsaken and forlorn,
When his record he must meet!
Palaces and shrines may waste
away;
Suns and moons forbear to shine;
But the soul that's "born" will
ne'er decay,
Nor it's age be reckoned in terms
of time.
To money, fame and honor, then
My soul should not bow down;
But e'er pursue and upward
trend,
Til earth's end shall roll around
Beyond the farthest constellation
I wonder what is way up there;
That may reach that lofty sta
ton
