Control Repeal

Arouses His Ire

WASHINGTON. July II tlNS)
Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson charged today that pending
Senate legislation to guarantee
parity prices TO farmers would
force repeal OF the entire price
control program.
II can't believe that the Con-
grcss Of the people want this
done" the OPA chief declared.
The legislation which aroused
the ire of Henderson is contained
IN the 81 800, 100000 war agencies
bill. approved by the Senate APP
preparations committee yesterday
and due for Senate debate on
Monday.
II requires the price admins
tration TO fix maximum prices at
levels that will insure a parity

Henderson also vigorously as
sailed a second amendment in the
Sl20.000.000 appropriation granted
the OPA by the Senate committee
He charged that the provision re-
quiring Senate confirmation OF all
war agency officials earning $4,000
or more would inject politics into
the administration of prices, rents
and rationing control"

THE broadcasts are an edu-

At the same time, they have
