Price Control Bill
Is Facing Stormy
Outlook in House
Measure Not Expected
To Reach Debate Stoqe
Until Next Week
~ the Associated Press.


After almost three months OF
preparation in committee, a price
control bill for commodities and
defense area rents took a preferred
place on the House calendar today
and found the outlook stormy.
Administration sources especially
took exception to the Banking Com
mittees decision in favor Of per-
mitting farm prices to 60 consid-
erably higher before the imposition
of any ceilings. 1t was reported that
White House backing would be
sought for a campaign to overturn
the committee action when the leg
islation is considered.
Indications were that the con-
laden measure would not
reach the debate stage until next
week. Committee Chairman Stea-
gall said he had hoped to call the
bill up perhaps Thursday, but many
House members were out of the
city on unofficial vacations and Mr..
Steagall said consideration might
be deferred because of reports that
administration leaders had prom
ised no action on the measure be-
fore next Monday.
Committees Work Completed.
The committee, which began hear
ings August 4, completed its work
Saturday night and Mr.. Steagall
said the vote to send the bill to the
floor was 18 to S.
The legislation would authorize a
price administrator to fix ceilings
on the price of any commodity he
found to be disproportionately high,
using October l as base. He would
likewise be empowered to control
housing rents in defense areas, using
April l, 1910, as base. Wages would
be specifically exempt from control.
Several days before its final action.
the committee accepted the stipula-
ton that on farm products no CELL
ing could be set which was either
less than 100 per cent of parity. or
less than the price levels prevailing
on October /. parity prices theo-
retically give the farmer the same
purchasing-power return for his
crop that he received in the base
period 190e-1914D
Amendment Adopted.
However, at the last minute and
by a vote Of II to II, the members
adopted an amendment by Repre-
sentative Brown. Democrat. of Geor-
gia, to add a third restriction on
farm ceilings-that they must not
be lower than the average prices
from 1919 to 1929.
Government farm statisticians
and some members Of the commit
tee Immediately said that would
open the way for an increase in food
prices up to 20 per cent. But Mr..
Brown took sharp issue with such
estimates, saying that present agri-
cultural prices "are higher than our
ceilings would permit, except for a
few crops like wheat and cotton"
The bill would bring up wheat
and cotton little, but not beef cat
tie. for instance" Mr.. Brown said.
Some committee members asserted
that his amendment would have the
effect of almost exempting agricul-
ture from the price control bill"

Danger Of Initiation
Shown in Balance Of
Bank Of France
Huge Sum Being Paid for
Nozi Occupation May
Brine Finunce Crisis
By PAUL GHALI.


VICHY, Nov. 3.-Comparison be-
tween the Bank of Frances first bal
ance sheet, published July 10, and
that released yesterday throws in
teresting sidelights on Frances
finances and discloses the possibility
of imitation in the near future.
This imitation would be mainly due
to the tremendous sum France has
to pay for the upkeep Of the Ger
man occupation army and de-
crease in this sum is once more
thrust 10 the forefront as a French
hSc4f objective.
Following Finance Minister Yves
Bouthillier's declaration at the
Council of Ministers Friday. indica-
tons here today are that negotia-
tions nave started again and that
France seems hopeful of obtaining
some reduction. According to
rumors, a reduction of the 400 ,0O0,-
600 francs (about $4,000 ,000) orig
inally fixed as the daily cost may
already have been accorded, but Of
flcials of the Finance Ministry are
shy on the subject and confirmation
is not obtainable.
Bank Advances Increase.
Between July 10 and october 9.
which is the latest date mentioned
in Yesterdays balance sheet, bank
advances tc the government for the
upkeep of the occupation army nave
increased from lit 1000, ,000, 900 francs
to 126, 900 600, 900 (the franc is NOM
inally valued at 2.30 cents at pres
ent). During the same period note
circulation has increased from 239.-
600 ,0O0 900 francs to 252,000, ,00o, 900,
which for a three-month period
means a total increase of the gov
ernment expenditure Of 22,OOO, ,00O,-
900. During the same period the
credit of the government at the
Bank of France, which July 10 was
90 600, 900 900 francs, has decreased
to 81 7,O00, 600, 900.
In contrast the account of the
German Army with the Bank OF
France, designated the Reichskred-
itkassenscheine, has varied little
from the rather imposing sum Of
SO 900, ,0O0, 900 francs in July; 1t IS
now hardly more than $4,000, ,000, ,000
The proportion of gold holdings OF
the Bank of France to its liabilities
has decreased proportionately on
the balance sheet and has reached
new low level of 2481 per cent,
whereas it was $3.50 per cent IN
July.
Before Premier Edouard Herriot's
imitation of 1925 the proportion Of
gold to liabilities was compulsorily
IS per cent.
Exchange Bad Omen.
A bad omen for French finances
is the unofficial value of the franc
in the Swiss black market which
has been constantly diminishing
since July. From a ratio of 80 to l
Swiss franc in July, 1t is now some
where around 40. Even compared
to the British pound the French
franc has slipped. In July the
pound was quoted in Zurich at "a
and has now reached 289 (francs).
French finance experts today do
not appear unduly worried by the
bogey of imitation. Imitation, they
state, is corrected outside France by
control Of prices. True, the official
prices have not greatly varied during
the last month. As France only ex-
ports to other European countries
through the barter system the de-
crease of the value of the franc has

Here's the Michigan Normal record for the past 19 years:
 Won 89 dual track meets, lost 12; won eight state intercollegiate track team championships; won five Michigan A.AU. track titles; won two central intercollegiate track championships and one na- tional AAU. junior champion ship.
 In cross-country the Ypsilanti institution claims an even more imposing record:
 Won 80 dual rlcets and lost three, won nine state intercollegi- ate team titles; won seven Michi- gan AA.U. team titles; won three central intercollegiate team titles; won one national junior A.A.U. championship.
 The Michigan Normal cross country squads also were second in the national senior A.A.U. meets in 1889, 1883 and 194O, and in the national collegiate oss-country run last fall.

YPSILANTI, Mich, April - Most schools make their major bid for athletic fame on the gridiron or basketball court. Not Michigan Normal College. Track is the No l sport there.
 Dr. Lloyd w. Olds, the Hurons coach since 1929 and president of the Michigan AAU., credits a 47- year-old track tradition" for Nor malls remarkable track and cross country records and the keen in- terest shown by the student body in the sports.
 We were the first state school west of the Alleghenies to estab- fish track" he says. We had 127 out of 300 men students report last season alOne.'

MUST MOVE ABOUT


 But there's something more. Mod ern armies survive only if they are mobile To train this mans army without moving it from pillar to post would be like training babies to lift weights without teaching them to walk. So what? Companies, regiments and divisions are going to be constantly on the move.
 For example, there will be vast maneuvers again this summer in the Louisiana sector. They will last weeks, maybe a couple Of months. I don't know anything about the Army's plans, but I'll bet cellophane helmet they bring troops into that maneauver from New York, Oregon, California and Florida-not whole camps, but training units from many camps that are far enough advanced to take the field.
 Imagine you are a postman in SdliiP Oio, Nai, iHIScillS Spt- cial delivery that looks pretty important, and trying to figure out where Pvt. Johnny Doe-"some where in Louisiana a"-is tonight.
 That's the problem, then-but just because it looks as hard to solye as the Einstein theory, don't start wringing yours hands and thinking Junior will never get that $2 pin money check you sent him, or the nice warm socks you knitted all by yourself.

 If any one man deserves credit for the solution (although hell probably never let me in his office again for saying so = he's that modesto it is Col. w. A. Kenyon. He was Postman No. l overseas during World War I. He is, by designation of both the Postoffice and the Army, Postman No. l of the American Army training today.

Ypsilanti High School Eliminated From Class r

With the personal foul their
main enemy. Ypsilanti High
Schools BASKETBALL team was elimi-
mated from Class B competition
Saturday night in the Regional
championship finals as It dropped
a thrilling 2s-24 contest TO a
strong Dawson five.
Trailing most OF the game and
still a point behind with a minute
and a half to go, Bill Swartz at
that instant endeared himself TO
the Dawson fans as he let go a
long set shot-frem- mid-eeuFt that
clearly swished through the mesh
to give his team the Glass d title.
A minute and twenty seconds
later with ten seconds left TO the
game, Bill's brother Jim provided
the anti-climax as he sunk foul
shot to give Dawson its final two
point margin.
In all a total of twenty-six fouls
were called against the local team
and with sixteen OF them being
called on four members OF the
starting five in a little over TWEEN
ty-four minutes OF play, away went
the Braves chance for a try at
the State title. On the other side
OF the fence, however, DAWSON
lost two players on personal fouls
and one OF them. Russ Crafts.
was considered their top man.
However, in the final summary
the Braves were almost twice as
hard hit as their four players lost
total OF 40 minutes and IS sec.
onGs Of possible playing time
while Dawson lost % minutes and
three seconds.
At the end OF the first quarter
OF play both teams we're dead
locked at seven points but in the
second quarter the Braves out
scored the Dawson five nine
points TO four and took half
time lead OF Is to II. The third
period saw them increase this
slightly TO 2i-ls but with Eugene
Palmer. Dick Schaab, and l.. D.
Harmon now missing from tho
lineup and Joe Dritton's following
them after only fifty seconds Of
the final frame. Dawson piled
eight points through the hoop to
win as the Braves were unable to
tally once during the quarters
eight minutes. Four free throws
were awarded the local team dur
ing the quarter and, although they
missed all OF them, Dawson miss

st. Stanislaus' try for a third
straight title this season, having al
ready captured the Second Division
crowd OF Detroit's Catholic League
and the state high school Polish
championship, was thwarted by the
crack Blissf1eld cage quintet Satur-
day night in the Regional Glass c
finals here. Looping 81 field goals
and just six less charity losses
through the hoop, the Blissfield Ave
piled up a tremendous lead early in
the game and then kept up the pace
TO down the st. Stan five 81 to "a.
Led by the sensational play OF
Don Mulder whose 81 points
brought his tournament total up
TO 81, an average Of Is per game,
the Blssfeld Ave hung up its
twentieth straight victory in its
drive for the State Glass G cham
pionship. Averaging so points N
each OF its three appearances here,
the Blissfield team should be one
OF the top-ranking quints in the
State tourney which begins the
later part of this week, and 1t
wouldn't surprise a large majority
of the fans who saw them in action
here II the team annexes the State
crown.
Starting out in whirlwind fash
ion Blissfleld hung up the tourna-
ment's high scoring mark for one
quarter as it swished IS points
through the hoop to leave far be-
hind the bewildered Broncos who
could only score four points during
the same period. In spite OF this
fact ST. Stanislaus kept plugging
along.
Mulders total of 81 points was
high for the game of course, and a
team mate of his, Frank Horton,
took second hopors with an even
dozen tallies. Len Mazurkiewicz.
OF the Broncos, paced his team
with II points.
The victory almost proved cost.
ly to the Blissfield five as Johnny
Osenko, a top-fight forward on any
team, developed a swollen vein in
his right foot that threatened to
become serious. Johnny, however,
declared he was fit to go again
about the time the fourth quarter
opened. and promptly Tailed four
points to the 10 his other mates
scored, as Blissleld concluded its
appearance here with a final IS
point squirt that equaled the. mark
it set in the opening frame and
brought its total up TO 81.
