Congress Offered Solution to Problem of Protecting Anti-InfatiOn Program By Appointment of C. C. Davis

1 of the formula and Brown admitted that 1t would affect stabilization control to such an extent that i've might as well give up the fight to try to control imitation"
 Both the Pace and Bankhead bills are supported by determined farm bloc members who contend that farm income hasn't kept pace with production costs and industrial wages. The Pace bill would increase the price of farm commodities by including the cost of all farm labor in the computation of parity. The Bankhead bill would prevent deduc- ton of soil conservation and other farm benefit payments in computing parity.
 A forthcoming executive order outlining Davis powers is expected to empower him to correct the in- equities the farm bloc complains of As 8 result even some farm state senators who otherwise would sup port the two bills are counseling de- lay. Others believe that in any event they should delay action until after the demand of John L. Lewis United Mine Workers for a $2-a-day in crease for bituminouS coal miners is settled. Farm bloc senators realize that passage of either or both of the Pace and Bankhead bills would give Lewis a powerful weapon in his fight for wages above the 'Tittle Steel" formula
 If the Senate votes to reject or recommit the Pace or Bankhead bill it would be considered a warning to labor-part:cularly Lewis-that the StabilizatiOn Act is going to be main- tained. Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky warned the Senate yesterday that if the cost of living is forced up through passage of farm legislation 1t would be diff iicult to deny the wage increase sought by Lewis coal miners.

Jules, tomorrow you 60 see. Maybe he want
to sell him Jules fingered his money anx-
iously. MAYBE he offered, you and me,

Red crept over the Special Agents face.
Now look here, Laparouse. This is no"
with your permission, Mr.. Radcliffe" The
President of the Police Jury numbered to his
feet II will question Jules. Now look, Jules.
The Coast Guard capture our enemies out

JULES cast Radcliff crafty look. "Oh, dey
catch him, eh?'
But, Jules Rousseaus voice was sooth-
ing You sold these enemies fuel oil. Come
now. Tell us about it,

"Oh, dat? Oh, sure. Dem men, dey come

hand from the pocket of his faded khaki
trousers and bills sprouted in all directions.
"Fo', five hunnert dollar, maybe"
Radcliff was taken aback. 'Mr. Laparouse,
did you get this money by selling fuel oil?"
Sure | sell tree, 70 drum"
But Mr. Laparouse - where did you get
three or four drums of fuel oil?'
"Well, my brudder Henry live down Bayou
Patout. He have half drum. l pay him
twice what he pay. Den my brudd n-ln-law,

K s.e. I see." interrupted Radcliff impa-
tiently. You sold this fuel oil to some strange
men, didn't you now? Did you know, Mr.
Laparouse, that these men were enemies to
our country?"
Jules grinned. ''Oh, sure"
Radciff gave him hard look. We'll!
In that case, III have to take you back to

leaned forward. Are you positive this
~ fellow Laparouse will show up?"
"Oh, sure" 1t was Mr.. Rousseau, the huge
hulk of President of the Police Jury, who
answered. Jules, he's fine fella We phone
RobichauX's store soon as we hear from you.
Somebody from the lower marshes will come
up, sure They take word down to him."
Radciff gasped his astonishment. You
mean to say you sent word to him by way
of grocery store? should have gone after
the fellow myself
Rousseau made an airy gesture. Oh, you
never find him! You 60 first ten miles by car.
Then at Robichauxs store you wait till you
catch lugger to 60 down Bayou Patout SIX
miles; then two miles west, back in the marsh,
is his shack Unless" Rousseau reached
toward the table for the jug. "of course, II
you like, you 60 by pirogue."
Radcliff looked at the flushed faces OF the
six police jurors and groaned. His first real
assignment and it was turning into social
festivity Shortly before dawn an enemy sub
marine had been captured by the Coast
Guard not ten miles off these very shores.
The teephoned tip-off that CaJun uapper
named Jules Laparouse was furnishing 1t with
fuel oil had been anonymous and somewhat
confusing; but without a doubt it had come
from this locality The President of the Police
Jury had promised to have Laparouse here
at his home by two o'clock. and already 1t
was twenty minutes of three.
hApCLIFF was aware of faint ringing IN his
ears, a weakness in his wrists and ankles.
He eyed the half empty glass suspiciously.
Could it be that this sweetened. yelloWlsh
insect poison - orange wine, he believed they
called it - was going to his head!
Suddenly the noisy chatter stopped.
LES maYingouins ont tout mango ma belle,
Et ont laissf juste les duck eTos o1te'fs.
1t wasn't exactly musical. but it heralded
someone's coming. for the SIX police jurors
listened intently. It's Jules. all right they
chorused
The one they called Terry-o rushed to the
door. Halo. Halo, Jules! We wait for you!
Come on you son of gum you''
A grinning face appeared at the screen
then half-pint of man strutted into the
room. Radclff started forward but was
crowded aside by the welcoming deluge OF
back-slappings Jules, without invitation re-
lieved Terry-o of his tumbler, filled it from
the Jug, emptied it into himself. then grlnned
and announced, Il get your message, 50
come, no?"
"Oh, sure We almost forget. This Mr.
Radcliff from New Orleans; he has questions
to ask
Sure" Jules eyed him amiably.
The six police jurors sank back into their
chairs and Radcliff stood alone before the
little Cajun He began without prelmlnarles,
"Mr. Laparouse, hear that you recently
came into a great deal of money. Did you'

Radcliff exploded. "Of all the dastardly,
villainous traitors! - And you have the un-
adulterated gall to stand there and gloat over
their filthy money! You'll go to New Orleans
all right. and you won't wait to buy any DAM
fine boat, either. You won't need boat where
you're going" The Special Agent sputtered,
mopped scarlet forehead, then turned, per-
picked, to the police jurors. But who in high
heaven warned the Coast Guard?'
Jules's opened his eyes very wide. Dat?
Oh, dat was Marie. tell her what to do. She 60
quick to Robichaux store by pirogue and talk
into dat ting on de wall, dat telephone. She
plainly smart. dat Marie!" He settled back to
the tedious business of counting his money.
Radcliff poured glass of orange wine full
to the brim and gulped it down. He needed it.
Jules laid aside his bills and watched him
with approval eve go to New Orleans, no?
You and me and my fren' Jean - we have
