Like the house bill, the senate
measures does not authorize ceilings
over wages, but the senate COM

rolicy directing government agcn-
cieS dealing with labor-lncludlnf
the labor department and its bur
eaus, the war and navy departments,

prices and the cost OF production"
Another senate change was inSer-
ton Of a provision authorizing Pres
ldent Roosevelt to transfer any OF
the price control functions to anoth-
er agency. In adopting this amend
mcnt the senate committee turned
down a plea from Secretary of Agri-
culture Claude r. Wickard that
control of agricultural prices be
vested in his department. Under the
amendment. however, Mr.. Roose-
velt could order this.
In commenting upon the SuggeS-
ton that Wickard be in charge OF
agricultural prices. Henderson said
that some price powers should be
available to him but final reSponS-
ibility will have to be centralized. :
We'll settle our differences he
said.
Newspapers, magazines, books and
periodicals we're specifically eX-
cepted from the field of cOmmodiL-
les subject to price control.
The senate committee brOadened
the administrator power to buy
and sell commodities to stabilize
prices. He would be permitted TO
buT anywhere in the world, in
stead of merely in the United States;
but transactions in strategic and
critical war materials were left
under the control of an RFC sub
sidiary.
