Oil Price Boost
Voted in House;
Up TO Senate

WASHINGTON. Dec. II (lNS)
The House passed by a vote Of
III TO 90 and sent 10 the Senate
today bill 10 fix A parity price
on crude oil 10 allow an increase
of 35 cents A barrel above cur
rent averages.
The original measure. sponsored
by Rep. Disney Cd of Oklahoma,
was rewritten on the House floor
10 eliminate a provision transfer
ring control OF crude oil prices
from tho OPA 10 Harold l.. Ickes,
petroleum administrator for war.
METHOD OPPOSED
Strong opposition 10 the mea-
sure came from two oil state
representatives. Wright Patman
Cd of TaxaS and Mike Monroney
Cd OF Oklahoma, both members
Of the so-caled consumers bloc,
who said they favored an oil
price increase but condemned this
manner of achieving IL.
AS rewritten on the floor the
bill fixes crude prices at 80 per
cent of parity This would IN
crease oil prices IS cents a barrel
above present averages. or less
than one cent on a gallon OF gaso-
line.
Monroney predicted that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would veto the bill
as threat 10 the administration S
price structure.
This proposal can cause
break i'm the dam which would
become a gigantic hole through
which other commodity price
increase demands will come
pouring. and wreck the whole
price structure" Monroney said.
CALLED DANGEROUS BILL
Patman termed the bill dan
gerous legislation. He urged that
oil price adjustments should be
made in accordance with the reg
ular procedures Of the admins
trations hold-the-line program.
Disney defended his measure as
going up 10. but not beyond the
Zine The administration, ne
said. would only come up with
some damn fool proposal
The measure. Disney admitted
may cost the consumer money but
Is essential as an incentive TO in
crease gasoline production.

America has many historic days to be
proud OF, and many deeds of valor to
glorify. So many, indeed, that we often
lose sight of some of the most i'm
portant and thrilling ones, and pass
them by unnoticed. But today, while
we are thinking OF our boys fighting in
foreign lands, where In some places cold
and frigid weather prevails-f1ghting
that freedom and democracy might live
maybe it would be interesting to hark
back to the beginning of our much
earlier struggles, when the colonists
were fighting formidable foe for the
liberty we have enjoyed since the sign
ing of the Declaration of Independence.
OF course, many important events
have happened since then, but one en-
gagement that occurred little later in
the same year that the Declaration was
signed, proved of such great Importance,
by way of encouraging General WASH
ingtons raw troops, that reference to
it on this particular morning seems
quite opportune.
The Battle of Trenton.
This battle, famous for Washington's
exploit in crossing and recrossing the
Delaware and known as the Battle of
Trenton, began to take form on Christ
mas night, December 25, 1776, and the
engagement took place on the follow
ing morning, December 26. Says an
early writer:
THE time seemed now propitious for
the coup de main which Washington
had of late been meditating. Everything
showed careless confidence on the part
of the enemy. Howe was in winter quar-
ters at New York. His troops were
loosely cantoned about the Jerseys, from
the Delaware to Brunswick, so that they
could not readily be brought to act in
concert on sudden alarm. The Hes
SLAMS were in the advance, stationed
along the Delaware, facing the Amer
lean lines, which were along the west
bank. Corvallis thinking his work
accomplished, had obtained leave of.
absence, and was likewise at New York,
preparing to embark for England.
Washington had now between five and
six thousand men fit for service; with
these he meditated TO cross the river
at night. at different points and make
Simultaneous attacks upon the Hessian
advance posts.
He calculated upon the eager sup
port of his troops, who were burning to
revenge the outrages on their homes and
families, committed by these foreign
mercenaries. They considered the Hes
slams mere hirelings, slaves to a petty
despot, fighting for sordid pay, and actu-
ated by no sentiment of patriotism or
honor"
