Claims Lack of Funds
Jeopordizes His Program
Asserts Price. Rent and Rotionins
Controls Foee Shorp Enrichment

Henderson sought Sl6l ,OOO,-
600 for operations through next
June and said that this estimate
was built upon careful first
hand estimates of the require
ments of the office" Unless the
full amount Is forthcoming, he
said, the OPA may have to can
eel rent control in 292 of the
367 projected areas and curtail
other functions.
STAFF OVERWORKED
The staff lis already badly
overworked," he added, but even
existing personnel would have
to be reduced. There is an in
adequate staff to administer the
universal price ceiling, he con
tinued, and none at all to admin
lister the ceiling on consumer
services. Moreover the OPA "be-
lieves that it faces at least 10 ad-
ditional rationing programs dur
ing the coming IL months"
UNLESS additional staff is
available" Henderson's state
ment declared, there will be
utter Reorganization and anar-
chy in the distribution of scarce
commodities as supplies run
out"
Even if he succeeds in con-
vincing the Senate committee,
however, any increased appro-
pri: ion probably would face OPP
position on the Senate floor,
where members recently have
voice bitter criticism of the
OPA's operations, particularly
the gasoline rationing and price
increase in the east. And If the
Senate boosted the appropria-
ton, there would be a struggle
to induce tho House to reverse
its stand.
SPOTLIGHT DISPUTES
AS he appeared for more
funds, Henderson also spotlight
ed two other disputes with Con-
gress-the price concessions to
farmers and the matter of sub
sides to absorb losses under
price ceilings.
He announced that he was
being compelled to take meas
ures that will raise retail prices
of the 1912 pack of canned and
dried fruits by as much as Is
per cent and possibly more"
This represented the first de-
parture permitted from the uni
versal price ceiling. In an &C
companying statement to house
wives. Henderson explained
that it was made necessary by
the concessions to growers
which the. farm bloc wrote into
the price control act over the
administrations opposition and
by the refusal of Congress to ap-
prove the subsidy by which the
government could have alb
sorbed business losses when
necessary to make price controls
stick.
The increased prices on
canned and dried fruits will ap-
ply only to the 1912 pack, which
has not yet reached the retail
stores. The details remain to be
worked out.
