money should be allowed for collec-
ton of the rents and some upkeep,
but contended the rest should go
into the Treasury.
Without debate, the Senate also
approved the committees action in
cutting the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission fund
from 5000, 900 to 100000. All of the
100000 eliminated was to have been
used to buy new Fairgrounds in
rapidly growing residential sections
of Washington.
After approving nearly all of the
economies proposed by the commit
tee, the Senate postponed the re-
naming fight over Tennessee Valley
Authority funds until tomorrow.
Mellett'S Fund Cut.
After the first roll call showed a
substantial majority for the cut in
Planning Board funds, a series of
other reductions were quickly ap-
proved without protest, including
the slashing of S406.270 from Lowell
Mellett's Ofiice of Government Re
ports. The committee also wrote in
a limitation of $500 900 on the ad-
ditional amount the President could
allocate to this Office from his gen.
eral funds, as against 100000 he
was allowed to allocate last year

stead, they allowed additional clerks
only to Senators from the seven
most populous States. on the ground
they have more mail to handle.
Each New York Senator will get
three clerks at $500 a year, and
each Senator from the six other

Miss Wells of Minneapolis, now
completing a fourth two-year term
as president of the league, gave
other officials of the organization
shock by ordering the electioIf
committee to postpone balloting for
officers selected by the convention
nominating committee. Miss Wells
had been re-nominated by the COM
mittee.
Appearing before the 500 delegates
after early voters had been turned
away from the polls temporarily,
Miss Wells said she had heard

Asserting II wonder il the league

from the caucus members of the
Nominating Committee and the
national board.
Miss Anna Lord Strauss, president

CHICAGO, April 30.-The Cham
Der of Commerce of the United
States asserted in resolution today
that during war time the price con-
troll act which gives authority for
establishment of maximum prices
of commodities should be amended
to include all elements which con-
troll prices and this includes salar-
les and wages"
As adopted, the resolution de-
Resolutions Committee, which had
asserted the price control act should
be amended ito include salaries,
wages, bonuses, commissions, and
compensation of all kinds paid to all
employees for services rendered, in
cluding corporate officers, directors
and managers"
First objection to the committee
proposed resolution was raised by
Lammot Du Pont. chairman of E. I
du Pont de Nemours & Co. He said
it was not practical to place limit
on salaries and bonuses to control
prices because in many cases
bonuses and salaries would actually
lower the price of a commodity
through increased efficiency and
better work in production.
Silas Strawn, Chicago attorney
and former president of the cham
ber, also objected to the commit
tees proposed resolution and recon-
mended that 1t be eliminated. His
position was that the control OF
prices automatically would control
wages.
The resolution as adopted was
proposed by I. N. Tate Of st. Paul,

wrote into their preliminary re-

mfr. Jones has ignored the recon-
mendations of the committee and
lnsulted the legislative branch of
the Government which he SEEM
ingly relegates to a position inferior
to his own.
I'VE have not reached and never
will reach the state in our national
life where 1t becomes unworthy OF

to the attention Of the people, ex-
tortionate salaries and war profits
which come from public funds.

When the facts are all finally in
