From WASHINGTON POST

The Senate on Wednesday stran
gled to death the bill for federal aid
to education by the device of recon-
hitting it to the committee on educa-
tion and labor. 1t was not even an
open and honest act of strangulation
F, by men willing to stand up and be
counted. Instead it was accomplished
OBVIOUSLY, from behind, by legislative
trickery. The pious gentlemen in
volved did not care to leave any finger
prints. First they amended the bill to
make it fit their accusations. Then
they applied the garrote.
The bill, sponsored by Senators
Thomas of Utah and Hill of Alabama,
sought to appropriate 300 million dol
lars for grants-in-aid to the states,
two-thirds of which would be used for
the payment of teachers salaries. The
principal objection to the bill ex-
pressed in the course of Wednesdays
debate was that it would impose fed
eral control upon local school systems.
This despite the fact that the bills
first section explicitly forbade "any
agency or officer of the United States
to control the administration, curri-
culum, instruction, methods of instruc-
ton or materials of instruction" The
safeguard incidentally, is one we ap-
plaud But instead of endeavoring to
improve or strengthen this section,
opponents of the federal aid measure
chose to nullify it by supporting a
needless and irrevelant mendment of
Senator Langer's forbidding discrimi-
nation on account of race, creed or
color in the administration of federal
funds or of state funds supplemented
thereby"
This amendment of Senator Lam
gers was denounced as cheer obfus-
cation by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People.
1t was vehemently opposed by the
American Teachers Association, an
including negro teachers
1t served no purpose save to make |
the bill as whole intolerable. A |
number of senators who voted for this |
promptly turned around |
and voted to have the legislation as a |
whole recommitted to the committee |
on education and labor. Senator Taft, |
who supported the amendment, rose |
as soon as it had been passed to make
the motion for recommittal. AS SEN
ator George forcefully pointed out to
his colleagues, Every intelligent ne
gro in this country will definitely
that senators who voted
'or the amendment were voting
against the negro's interest, because
hey have killed the proposed legis-
alton"
The fact is that they were voting
against the interest of whites and ne
yroes alike. In the whole of this I'M
on there are only three states or ter
'itories which do not have teachers

Creation by UNRRA of a coop

MONTANA CALF SOLD
FOR RECORD PRICE

A five months old Polled Hereford
bull calf was sold recently by John
E. Rice, prominent Montana stockman
to Kenneth H. Davis of Cholarne,
California, for a price of $4,000 said
to be a record price paid for Mon
tana animal of that age. Mr.. Rice
also sold five Hereford calves at the
National Polled Hereford show in
Jackson, Mississippi last month at an
average price of $1,258 each.
Mr.. Rice's blooded stock ranch is
located near Lodge Grass. He has
represented Big Horn county in the
stae legislature three sessions and is
recognized as an outstanding liberal,
and active in the Farmers Union in

TO HOLD DOWN FLOUR PRICES
To hold flour and bread prices at
present levels, the Office of Economic
Sterilization has inaugurated a sub
sidy program that will enable wheat
flour millers to pay as high as parity
prices for wheat SHOULD the market
go that high and at the same time
sell flour for no more than present
ceiling prices. Without the subsidy,
the Office of Economic Sterilization
says, it would be necessary to in
crease ceilings on flour, which in turn
would force an increase in bread
prices.
NO INCREASE IN BUTTER
Butter available for civilian use
will not increase during the next few
months, although the federal govern
ment has discontinued all purchases
OF the commodity until April, accord
ing to information from OPA and
VIA Current production of butter
averages about 16 pounds year per
person, or about half a pound less
than in pre-war years. Of this, 311a
pounds are being sent to our armed
forces and our allies, leaving approx
mate1y 1914 pounds per capita for
civilian consumption Up to 5 million
pounds of butter will be released to
hospitals from stocks held by or set
aside for the Food Administration.
The butter is to supply the hospitals
from November through March, and
ration coupons will be required.
OPA AUTHORITY UPHELD
Authority of OPA to forbid persons
from dealing in rationed commodities
as result of violations of rationing
regulations was upheld in a recent de-
cision by Federal Judge Archibald
Lovett of Georgia. Judge Lovett
ruled that OPA does have the author
ity, under the second War Powers
Act, to issue such suspension orders
and dismissed the complaint filed by

LIFT PORK, LARD RESTRICTIONS
Restrictions on the number of
pounds of pork and lard made from
home-slaughtered hogs that can be
sold or given by a farmer to people
not living on his farm have been
lifted from November II to February
II, 1914 The War Food Administra-
ton lifted the restrictions, to help
handle the slaughter and distribution
of this years record hog supply
Farmers are asked to find out from
their market agency or professor
whether their hogs can be handled
before sending them to market.
RESTRICTS FARM EQUIPMENT
SALES
To prevent others from getting
scarce farm equipment needed by
farmers, the War Production Board
has issued a revision of the Farm
Machinery Order, L-257, which pre-
vents dealers from selling rationed
farm equipment for non-farm use, ex-

ASKS FARM WORKERS TO HELP
Farmers and workers engaged in
agricultural occupations have been
asked by the War Manpower Commits
sion to give all the time they can
spare in the agricultural off-season to
pulpwood cutting, numbering, and
other war-useful occupations. Farm
workers may transfer to such en-
ployment without obtaining a certifi-
cate of availability but, if of military
age, must still obtain approval from
their selective service boards. Local
boards have been instructed to ap-
prove transfers for periods up to four
