week by Fritz Lanham, vel
known Democratic Represen
tative from Texas. Congress
man Lanhan accompanied q
delegation Of Texas cattlemer
to a conference with high
officials Of the Office of Price
Administration, at which beet
and cattle prices were dis
cussed. One of the OPA Off
cials stated that Price cell
ings on livestock would re-
quire different prices for the
two kinds Of steers When
the perpiexed cattlen1en asked
what the official meant by the
phrase two kinds of steers
they received the astound-
ing answer from the so-called
governmental livestock ex-
pert: Well, you would GER
tainly need a price differen-
tial between male and female
steers, wouldn't you?''
Less than ninety days ago
Administration forces, lead by
the President, were pressing
for d reduction in farm price
ceilings, and broad differences
We're made that the farmers
of the country were profiteers
and inflationists. Congress-
men from farm districts were
viciously attacked for their
opposition to farm price re-

that the enactment of such
legislation would result in in
creased farm labor shortages
and decreased food produc-

ed bill to give the President
power to suspend any and all
laws that might in any way
interfere with the free flow Of
goods or individuals into this
country. It was claimed such
broad Presidential powers TO
ignore tariff and immigration
laws were necessary as a war
measure, but witnesses ap-
pearing before the Committee
failed to make a good case in
support Of the legislation and
the final vote for tabling the
bill was unanimous. A similar
bill may not be brought up IN
the new Congress, inasmuch
as the opposition to extending
Presidential powers is expec-
ted to be much stronger than
in the present Congress.
IF present plans of Con-
gressional leaders work out,
the 77th Congress will ad-
journ sine die this week, with
the new 18th Congress CON
vening on Wednesday, Janu-

Of a joint resolution changing
the date Of meeting from Sun
day, January 3rd. At the pres
ent time neither the Senate
nor the House can muster a
quorum, and it is the general
feeling that legislation should
