Washington, July 15-lNS-The

conflict over price control with

With the battle between Hender-

whole price control system it ap-
peared likely that President Roose-

settlement through administration
leaders.
Some senators, however, said
that the split has so widened that
no peace is possible. aud forecast

TO the nation for support in his
battle both to retain broad authori-

Henderson's attack on Congress
angered veteran senators with the
result that it appeared probable
that even more severe restrictions

The price chief assailed the $780,
