ships that he offered to waive
the entire S28,00O,OOO profit if
permitted to complete the now
abandoned Michaud shipyard,
Holt Ross, committee chairman,
announced today.
Mr.. Higgins said the offer was
ignored by the Maritime Commits

before it got into production, as
signing steel shortage as the rea-
son.
Mr.. Higgins. after talking with
President Roosevelt here Tuesday
during the Presidents inspection
trip, is pressing his proposal to
build giant cargo planes which he
said could start rolling in four and
one-half months after the go-ahead
signal was given.
The committee, meeting in execu-

cent Of the 2S,0O0,O00 profit.
Mr. Higgins testified that there
had been vicious gossip" from un-
named persons here criticizing the
site of his Michaud plant which he
declared was unfounded. but asked
that his views on the reasons for
closing his plant not be made public
at this time. However, he declared
the cancellation '.unjustifled and
shockingly sinister"
Mr.. Holt said the testimony would

By the Associated Press
A joint Senate House Commit
tee agreed today on compro-
mise version of the administra-
tlon'S anti-inflation legislation,
clearing the way for expected
final action on the measure by
Congress today.
Senator Brown. Democrat. Of
Michigan said the conference group
had approved without change a pro-
vision voted by the Senate direct
ing President Roosevelt to lift farm
price ceilings where they did not
reflect to growers increased labor
and other costs since January /,
1941.
Replaces House Amendment.
House members agreed to substi-
tute this for an amendment pre-
viously passed by their chamber re-
vlslng farm parity standards upward
to include labor costs.
Under terms of the measure. as
approved by the conference group.
President Roosevelt would be au-
thorized and directed to act before
November to stabilize prices. wages
and salaries at September IS levels,
so far as practical.
House and Senate representatives
| agreed TO compromise a section,
passed in varied form by the two
bodies, providing a floor" under
farm prices by authorizing Govern
ment loans on major crops of 80 per
cent of parity instead of the present
IS per cent
Crop Loans Eased.
The conferees agreed that. where
the President found it necessary to
prevent an increase in the cost of
feed for livestock and poultry, he
could fix the loan rate on crops used
for such feed at a point between IS
and 80 per cent.
This largely would affect corn and
wheat.
The conferees agreed to authorize
the crop loans for a period of two
years after the end of the war. The
House had voted to extend them for
thme years after hostilities ended.
while the Senate had approved the
loans only for the war period.
The committee also altered an
amendment offered by Senator Nor
rls, independent, of Nebraska. and
adopted by the Senate, which would
have permitted President Roosevelt
to prevent any increases in utility or
common carrier rates over Septem-
ber Is levels.
Instead, the committee wrote into
the bill a provision requiring utili-
ties to give 80 days notice to the
President of such an impending re-
quest and to agree to the appear
ance of the price administrator as
witness for consumers at any
rate hearing that might be held.
The congressional action is of To-
cal interest because of the WASH

Senate Receives Bill
To Ban ADVERTISING
Of Liquor Prices
D. c. Committee Reports
Measure FovorobIy
After Long Delay

The long pending House bill to
ban liquor price advertising in
Washington and to widen the dry
areas around churches, schools and
other institutions, was reported ia
vorably to the Senate today by the
District Committee.
The measure passed the House in
January, and had been under con-
sideration throughout the summer
by Senate subcommittee. Chair
man McCarran announced that the
subcommittee indorsed the bill, after
which a majority of the full COM
mittee ordered it reported.
The bill provides that no holder
of an A or B retail license or a
wholesalers license shall advertise
by any means or through any me-
dium the price for which alcoholic
beverages are for sale.
They are forbidden also to give
away, sell or distribute any price
list or information with respect to
the price schedule.
No price list may be displayed in
store if it is visible from the street.
At the present time, liquor licenses
may not be issued within 400 feet of
churches, schools and certain other
institutions. The bill makes the dis
tance 600 feet, but Senator McCar-
ran explained the Senate group
added an amendment to exempt ho-
tells having more than so rooms. In
addition to churches and schools,
the 600-foot rule would apply to
eleemosynary institutions, the Sol
diers' Home, an Army post, the
Navy Yard or Marine Barracks.
The bill is not expected to be
taken up in the Senate before next
week. The restrictions on price list
advertising would affect directly
cut-rate liquor stores. The bill.
however, applies to all licensed es-
tablishments.

Generals Statement
Quoted in Answer to
Criticism by EneeI

Representative Woodrum, Demo-
crat, of Virginia. ranking member
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee, today told the House that
a statement prepared by 1t. Gen.
Brehon Somervell, who was in
charge of Army construction at the
time the new Pentagon Building,
the Arlington War Department
project, was started, mot only vindi-
Gates the wisdom of the project
but shows that the Corps of Engi-
neers and the contractors have car
ried the project through success
fully under the most unusual and
difficult circumstances"
This statement was In reply to
lengthy speech in the House yes
terday by Representative Engel,
Republican, of Michigan, that those
in charge had not kept faith with
Congress and that the new building
had cost double what Congress was
told it would cost.
No Unnecessary Features.
In his reply, prepared at Repre-
sentative Woodrum's request, Gen.
Somervell said: Il am in full agree
ment with the statement of Mr.
Engel that the building is we'll con-
structed, with minimum of steel,
with no unnecessary architectural
features, such as marble halls. foun-
tains, statuary and the like, that the
offices are very simple, using a
marked economy of space and lack
ing everything that points to the
elaborate.
Il cannot agree, however. that the
War Department failed to keep faith
with the Congress in respect to this
building. In the House hearings of
July %, 1941, 1 stated that the
building could be built on the then
contemplated site for $35 100000 lex

Il pointed out that the Bureau of
Public Roads already had prepared
a general plan for the highway de-
velopment from the South and West
to the City of Washington and that
the proposed building site would fit
INTO That layout without dlmculty.
None of the cost of this general
highway system was therefore in
cluded in the estimate.
