Funds Cut
To Million
By House Unit
Henderson Is Voted
Less Than One-HuIf
Of What He Asked

A House Appropriations sub
committee today cut deeply into
the requested appropriation for
the Office of Price AdminiStra-
ton, granting only $95 100000 as
compared to the Budget Bureau
request for $l6l 100000 for the
next fiscal year, Chairman Can
non announced this afternoon.
Leon Henderson, price admins
traitor. had asked the bureau for
$200,000,Q00 to administer the Ma
tionwide price control and ration
ing program. but the bureau sliced
off 100000 before forwarding
the request to the Capitol.
'SnOOpers" Eliminated.
Some members of the Subcommit-
tee said the slash, which must be
approved by the full committee,
would hold the OPA working force
to 80 900 or approximately one-third
of what Mr.. Henderson had re-
Quested.
While Representative Cannon de-
clined to give details of the reduc-
tions, other members said it was
agreed generally by committee men,
bers that OPA could operate more
economically and did not need the
10000 working force Henderson had
contemplated. An estimated $4,000
are now employed by the agency.
Also stricken from the measure
was a provision for employment OF
what committee members described
as "snoopers" to help enforce price
ceiling and rationing regulations.
Members said they felt there was no
need for such a force.
The action of the subcommittee
wass not unexpected since there
have been recurrent reports from
the Capitol that the Henderson pro-
gram faced rough shedding. Mem
bers of the Senate have been irked
because they reputedly were not
consulted about OPA appointments
in the States, and the power exer-
cised by the price administrator
repeatedly has helped to stir i'll
feeling.
Subsidies Not Studied.
Mr.. Henderson said last Satur-
day that if Congress trimmed his
budget too far, the persons who
will suffer will not be Bureaucrat
Henderson and his loyal bureau
crats-they will be the consumers
and retailers.
At the same time he told re-
porters he would be willing to re-
sign if Congress made such move
conditional to appropriation of sub
sidy funds to support price ceilings.
Members of the subcommittee
said, however. the matter of sub
sidy payments was not considered
in the appropriations bill.
The staff proposed by the price
administrator would be set up
along regional. State and local
lines to supplement the work Of
volunteer rationing boards.

Committee Meeting

Thousands of District taxicab
drivers went out on strike today
in protest against the new zone
and rate system, and all avail
able auxiliary policemen were
summoned to duty and all police
leaves cancelled in a move to
forestall any acts of violence.
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee held an emer-
gency meeting of the full committee
this afternoon in an effort to find
a way to end the Walkout.
During the meeting, held in the
presence of a crowd that packed
the caucus room in the old House
Office Building, Chairman Hankin
of the PUG was booed Justify after
he had said, in answer to question:
ing from Representative D'Allesan-
dro. Democrat, of Maryland, that
he had been informed acts of vio-
lence would take place in connec-
ton with the strike in an effort to
persuade the drivers not to do their
work.
Mr.. Hankin was booed so loudly
that Chairman Randolph threatened
to clear the room if the disturbance
were repeated.
Bates Is Applauded.
Representative Bates. Republican
Of Massachusetts,, was appla on
the other hand when he appealed
to the taxi drivers to get back into
service as quickly as possible.
Mr.. Hankin was one of the first
to speak as the hearing got under
way nearly half an hour later than
scheduled. He later was upheld by
Engineer Commissioner c. w. Kutz
in his contention that he new rates
are more equitable than the old rates
and that they increase the revenue
of drivers.
Maj. Edward J. Kelly. police sup

ical aims for the first time, Gen.
Charles de Gaulle issued a dec
laration today founded on the
principles of the Atlantic charter
and providing for election of a
national assembly by the French
people to determine their own
future when the Germans are
driven out.
The five points of the declaration

proved by leaders of resistance to

through four months of the most
remarkable secret negotiations yet
conducted between England and the
conquered homeland of the Free
French

traitors within France, and destruc-
ton of the totalitarian system as
well as the overthrow Of the
systematic coalition of private in
terests which opposed the national
interests of France.

ito put an end to tyranny consti-
tuted by perpetual infringement Of
rights and to ensure liberty and
dignity in the working life Of every
citizen"

organization of mankind such as
the enemy achieved in contempt Of

the restoration of the old French
ideal of liberty, equality and fra
ternity.
S. Creation Of a world organiza- =
ton establishing lasting solidarity
and mutual help between nations in
every sphere"
Intended to Meet Criticism.
The declaration was made to

fighting for, and was intended also

"on vacation" yesterday after

and rates.
Under new system, the former
zone rates of 80 cents for the

for the third and 80 for the
fourth remain in effect, but the
various zones are divided into
81 sub-zones, with the rate fixed
for any possible trip from one
sub-zone to another.
Contending that drivers
earnings would be reduced sub
stantially under the new set-up,

To End CCC
Appropriations Unit
Follows House Lead
On Supply Bill
Earlier Story on Page AID
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate Appropriations
Committee today voted by more
than 2 to l to continue the Ma
tional Youth Administration for
another year after it had upheld
the House action in abolishing
the Civilian Conservation Corps.
These two decisions were the high
lights of a long executive session
in which the committee reported
out a $1,078, ,0OO, 900 supply bill for
the Federal Security Agency and
Labor Department for the coming
fiscal year.
Two new programs relating to war
manpower were added to the bill, as
follows:
To enable the Social Security
Board to take a Nation wide occu-
patton inventory, IS 900 900.
To make loans to college students
to enable them to complete courses
in subjects considered valuable to
the war effort, $7500,0OO.
To enable the States to carry on
a more effective fight against VEN
ereal diseases, the House item of
$1,000 900 was increased to SIS
0O0,0 900. The work is carried on by
the Public Health Service in CO.
operation with State health author
tiles.
McCarran Loses CCC Fight.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, in charge of the labor
security bill, waged an unsuccess-
full fight to save the CCC. His mo-
ton to restore the budget estimate
of $8O,8l8, 900, which the House
eliminated, was understood to have
been beaten, Is to 9.
The budget estimate represented
a sharp reduction from last years
appropriation of s246 $50, 900 for
CCC, but would have kept $50
camps in operation. The Senate
group. however, accepted the House
provision. which provides for only
$500 900 to cover expenses of liqui-
dating this New Deal agency which
was created in the early days of
the first Roosevelt term.
Unless the Senate reverses the
committee, the fate of CCC will be
sealed, because the item then would
not be subject to restoration in con-
ference. Senator McCarran was not
certain whether the fight would be
renewed on tn Senat floor, but said
he may raise the question there
again.
Having won this round, economy
advocates then moved to liquidate
the National Youth Administration
by striking out approximately $58,-
040,OO0 the House allowed that
agency, principally for war-work
training, but the motion was beaten
in the case of NYA. However, the
funds allowed also mark a sharp
drop from the current year, when
Congress allowed sl5l, ,767,0 Small
changes were made in the House al
locations of NYA money.
Survey Fund Reduced.
For the proposed occupational
survey by the Social Security Board,
the budget requested $19,500,0 900, in
order to include in the project the
collection of labor market informa-
tion and farm placement data, but
the committee restricted the scope
in cutting the estimate to $4,000, 900.
