longer period.

by conduct which was n direct

forfeited his right to become a
senator.
EXPECT MINORITY REPORT
A separate minority repor
was expected to be filed later.
The majority report pictured
LANCER as q man with lack of

The report reviewed two trials

South Dakota on q charge of
conspiracy to obstruct the order
ly operation of an act Of Con-
gress, and a perjury trial before
the same Judge. LANCER was ac-
quilted of both charges.
The report emphasized testi-
mony as to payment Of money
by LANCER to Gale Wyman, the
Judges son, and the late Chef
Leedom. close associate of the
Judge, for services during the
trial. The committee termed this
relationship "reprehensible."

ton Program

1.-THE proper servicing Of bicycle
tires is as important to the coun-
try's rubber conservation program
as the servicing and maintenance of
automobile and truck tires" accord
ing to Harry Brown, manager Of
the cycle tire department of the
United States Rubber Company.
Probably the greatest enemy to
the bicycle tire Is underinflation,"
said Mr.. Brown. 1T wastes rubber
by causing excessive wear on the
outside of the tread and shoulders.
The tire will crush easily, flex' vio-
lently, and the cord fabric will be-
come unnecessarily weakened,
Bruises that result from bump
ing curbs, hitting rut, or smash
ing against any hard object often
break the cord fabric from inside
the tire and cause premature fail
ure. Tube. pinching and buckling
often result from improper tire
mounting"
Mr.. Brown listed these points to
follow in the proper servicing OF
bicycle tires:
/. Check air pressure on bicycle
tires at least twice week for great
est possible mileage.
2. Use brakes carefully to avoid
excessive tread wear.
3, Do not Jump over curbs or ride
over bumps that might rupture the
fabric.
4. Be on the alert to avoid OBJ
jects that might puncture or cut
tires.
5. Keep wheels correctly trued-up
and balanced to avoid uneven tread
wear.
Inspect tires and tubes regularly
as precaution against future
trouble and wasted rubber.

Questions, Answers On New Price Control Act

any one on request.
@. What should the housewife
do If she believes that she is re-
quired. to pay more than a store
keepers maximum?
A. She should ask the store
keeper to explain the price to her.
If she still believes that she is re-
quired to pay more than his legal
maximum, she should communicate
the facts to the OPA's nearest War
Price and Rationing Board or its
nearest local office.
@. How can the shopper obtain
record showing what she paid so
that she can make positive COM
parison with March prices?
A. Every store, when requested
by a customer, must give sales
slip or receipt showing the date,
the name and address of the store,
the item sold, and the price re-
ceived.
@. Why Is whole month used
for the Pricing period?
A. That is TO produce as fair
maximum as possible. If prices
were frozen at the leyei in effect
during a shorter period or on only
one day, the ceilings might be dis
torted an dmight be abnormally
low for a store which had had bar
gain sales or Dollar Days"
throughout the base period.
@. What articles are covered by
price ceilings?
A. Practically every article used
In the life and work of America.
Included are the basic articles that
make up the cost-of-living cloth
ing, yard goods, fuel, furniture,
most foods, hardware, appliances,
tobacco, drugs and toiletries. At
the manufacturers level the regula-
tions cover virtually all products
and commodities that are not ale
ready under price ceilings.
@. But there are some excep-
tons?
A. Yes, some exceptions are nee
essary.' For example, the Emerg-
ency Price Control Act Of 1912,
which confers the authority TO COM
troll prices on OPA, does not per.
nit the Price Administrator to set
ceilings over the farm products that
are selling below parity. The Act
also exempts newspapers, maya"
zines, theater admissions. and ran.
road and bus rates. Because OF
obvious administrative difficulties
the regulation exempts fresh fisn'
fresh fruits and vegetables, rare
stamps and coins, and objects o.
art. Raw farm commodities. such
as wheat, are exempt from ceilings
but these same products when pro-
cessed and prepared for the con-
sumer, as In the form OF bread, are
under price ceilings.
q. Are there ceilings on sales o.
food or beverages by lunch rooms
restaurants and hOteIs2
"A. No, these also are exempt

as chairman of BEW, the Board
Of Economic Warfare.
AS presiding officer of the Sen
ate, Wallace has been better than
some people thought he would be.
The answer is that he has worked
at 1t. He has studied Senate pro-
cedure. He is on the job, regular
in attendance. He studies and
knows the legislation going through,
far better, perhaps, than a good
many Of the senators.

have as much direct influence OH
legislation as did Vice President
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1942-05-01
Forgotten Man? Not THIS Vice President!
HENRY AGARD WALLACE LOVES HIS WORK JUST ANY WORK.
AND REFUSES THE TRADITIONAL OBSCURrTY OF HIS OFFICE

His friends say that he hasn't an
enemy In the Senate, or any place
else for that matter, but he Is not
intimate with any large number
of Congressmen. He does not In
spire the close, hearty, poker-play-
ing, whiskey-drinking, palsy-walst-
ness that Garner did. Wallace
"sees" numerous senator's, usually
in his capitol ONCE. Barley and
McNary, as party leaders, he con-
suits the oftenest. Wallace is In
tensely loyal to Roosevelt, but aside
from that it would be hard to
measure the Wallace influence on
current legislation.
ADMINISTERS BEW
BY REMOTE CONTROL
Wallace's real ONCE is his suite
in the Senate once building, second
floor rear. There h emaintains his
headquarters, his assistant, big,
breezy Fort Worth lawyer Harold
Young, with the Spanish secretary,
four girls who are receptionlsts and
stenographers, and a messenger.
This is where he sees people,
ohicially.
Wallace has no desk of his own
with the Board of Economic War
fare, spread over three ONCE build
ings about washington. Instead,
the BEW comes to Wallace in the
person of Milo Perkins, its spark
plug and executive director.
Wallace runs BEW by remote
control, through Perkins, as the
chairman Of the board Of o big
corporation might run his company
through its president.
This BEW Is the Wallace sphere
Of greatest influence for the war
and perhaps for the postwar
period.
This Is planned economy, deal
ing In surplusses and shortages of
all commodities on an interna-
tional scale, instead Of the farm
planning on a national scale in
which wallace played such DOM
inant role while Secretary Of Agri-
culture.
HIS SCHEDULE
is ALWAYS CROWDED
To get the real measure of what
the vice president does, you must
try to follow his schedule, not for
day, but for a week, to see how
many pies his finger is in. One
recent weeks engagement book
included conferences on 10 of these
pies" plus four sessions Of the
Senate.
Before the war, the vice presi-
dent and Mrs. Wallace reserved
Tuesday and Thursday evenings
for entertainment and being en-
tertained. Any such fixed Sched-
ule as that has long since been
abandoned. Instead, there are nu-
merous informal meetings with
other officials of the government,
and, Sandwiched In between, a
surprising amount Of reading and
study.
The man has an almost inde-
fatigable intellectual curiosity about
everything under the sun. For in
stance, there was that boomerang
throwing business. He wanted to
know how the things worked, so
he got one and experimental.
