sands Of Federal and District

this afternoon, when the Senate

The House still must act on the

The fght has waged around the
House effort to cut from the Gov

Virgin Islands, and Goodwin B.
Watson, and William E. Dodd, jr,
employees of the Federal Communi-
cations Commission.

this afternoon it voted, 48 to 80 for
an amendment which keeps the
three men on the payroll until No.
vember Is, at which time their pay
must stop unless in the meantime
they are nominated by the President
and confirmed by the Senate.
The only other issue in dispute
was whether to restrict the Presi-
dents use Of his emergency funds.
The compromise provides that these
funds may not be used for any
purpose for which Congress has re-
fused to appropriate.
In the final debate today. Senator

Missouri, leading the fight against

order to pay the thousands of other
employees. The salary money tied
up by this fight, he said. could be

Senator Clark said, the responsible

Federal GeoIoeist
Indorses Elk Hills
Oil Reserve Deal
OfficioI Who Surveyed
Property for Novy Says
Transaction Was Good
BY the Associated Press.

Differing with the Justice De-
partment on the Standard Oil
Navy Department contract for
development of the Elk Hills pc
troleum reserve, Ralph w. Rich
ards. staff geologist of the United
States Geological Survey. said to-
day he believed the transaction
was a good one and offered a
practical solution to the prob
lem involved.
Mr.. Richards. who in 1910 was
loaned to the Navy Department to
survey the reserve. second largest
in the world told the House Public
Lands Committee the effect of the
contract with Standard of California
was to create Government mo-
nopoly with Standard Oil acting as
the servant of the public
Assistant Attorney General Nor
man M. Littell and Controller Cen
eral Lindsay Warren previously tes-
tilted that the effect of the trans
action was to grant Standard a
monopoly of the field
Doubts It's Unwise Investment.
Il doubt very much" stated Mr.
Richards. that it gives the Stand
ard Oil monopoly. Under this
plan neither the Navy nor Standard
Oil is in danger of making an un-
wise investment"
He described the contract as a
workable and equitable plan" in
the best interests of the country.
Reports by the Justice Department,
the Controller General and Under
secretary of the Interior Abe Fortas
have stated the belief the plan was
not in the public interest The con-
tract has been abrogated.
Mr. Richards declined to reveal his
evaluation of the entire reserve be-
cause he said it would give infor-
nation to Standard to the detri-
ment of the Government in any
ultimate condemnation suit.
He informed the committee he ad-
vised the Navy Department in 1910
that Standards holding in tine ie-
serve should be acquired" but told
Representative OConnor. Demo-
crat, of Montana he could not ad-
wise whether this should be by
condemnation or other methods
Company "Reticent' on Price.
Following his investigation. Mr.
Richards said he had visited the
San Francisco Offices of Standard
Oil to obtain from the company an
evaluati of its holdings, but that
officials were "reticent" about quot
ing price.
The House Rules Committee post
poned until tomorrow action on a
resolution which would authorize a
subcommittee of the House Lands
Committee to visit the reserve.

Roosevelt Declares
Bill Would Cause
Initiation, Cut Food
(TeIt of Presidents Veto Message
on Page 2-X.)


The House sustained President
Roosevelts veto of the Commod-
ity Credit Corp. bill banning sub
sides to rollback food prices to-
day after the President de-
nounced it as IAN imitation bill"
which blacks out the program
to reduce the cost of living
The vote, 22S to override to 154
to sustain, was short of the required
tWo-thirds.
The decision gave the administra-
ton its first major victory after q
series of setbacks on its domestic
policies.
President Roosevelt declared in his
veto message to the House that this
is an imitation bill. high-cost-of
living bill, shortage bill He
added that the measure will become
law only "over my strenuous objec-
ton and protest"
The antisubsidy ban would have
ended the existing retail price roll
back on meats and butter August /,
and forbid any similar payments in
the future.
The administration has been
using a subsidy system as one of its
anti-inflation weapons. President
Roosevelt contended that by holding
retail prices firm and by draining
off excess purchasing power by taxa
ton. the danger of imitation would
be avoided. Congress, however, has
done nothing in the way of impos-
ing the approximately sl3,000,000,-
900 in new taxes sought by the
administration.
The proposed legislation. President
Roosevelt said, marks a definite re-
treat from economic stability toward
uncontrolled initiation That retreat
cannot be made with my approval"
Hitting the legislation on three
specific grounds. the President said
no matter how this measure Is IN
terpreted. it will have a devastating
effect upon our economy ana our
war effort about which I believe the
Congress and the American people
ought clearly to be warned
To get our economy to work, the
President said he realizes we can

The Army-Navy plan to in

pendents of servicemen was re-

for dependents such as parent
brother or sister who are dependent

two parents get s68 instead of SAT a
month. and two parents and one
brother or sister get S79 instead OF

Farm Area Senators
Demand Solution Of
Corn Price |mpasse
Cite Forced Closing
Of Processing Plants
For Lack of Grain
BY the Associated Press.

Midwestern members in the
Senate today joined in demand
ing action toward solving the
price impasse which has kept a
major share of the Nations corn
on the farms and forced the
closing of number of CONNER
cial products plants for lack of
grain.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive.
of Wisconsin said the only solution
in sight appeared to be to let the
price of corn 60 up
Il cannot understand why this
thing is allowed to drag on for
weeks" Senator La Toilette de-
clared. Everybody talks about it
but nobody does anything and. in
my judgment. that is symptomatic
of the entire confusion in the con-
duct of this war on the domestic
'front.'
Lucas Against Seizure.
Senator Lucas. Democrat. of Illi-
nois said he heartily agreed with
Senator La Follette's assertion that
nothing more unfortunate could
happen" than for the Government
to attempt to seize corn held on the
farms now, as it has requisitioned
some grain held in elevators.
If the administration has any
thought of attempting to requisi-
ton this corn on the farm" Senator
Lucas declared, Il hope they will
forget about it."
Senator Lucas thought there would
have to be an adjustment between
corn and hog prices, by some means,
to start the flow of the grain out of
farmers bins.
1T is a tragic error to say that to
raise the price of corn would be in
hationary," he declared.
Senator Butler, Republican, of Ne
braska said that farmers could not
be blamed for holding their grain
and feeding it to hogs, since they
would obtain the equivalent to 81 80
a bushel that way and could get only
SLOT under the ceiling price on corn.
Price Rise Not Inflationary.
Senator Lucas said if means could
be found to release from 100 to 200
million of the more than 800 million
bushels of corn repeatedly held by
farmers, the plight OF the professors
would be alleviated.
mo argument can be made to
show that raising the price of COM
mercial corn would be inflationary
at this time" he declared.
Senator Clark. Defocrat. of Mis-
'souri, interrupted to describe case
in Missouri where he said plant
manufacturing corn meal was being
forced to close down for lack OF
corn and asserted similar cases were
in prospect as result of 'idiotic
mismanagement" by the Govern
ment.
This corn situation is in an un-
pardonable mess" Senator Clark de-
clared.
Senator Lucas paused in the midst
of his criticism to praise Marvin
Jones, new war food administra-
tor. and Senator Tobey, Republican,
Of New Hampshire, joined in the
compliment. They expressed hope
Mr.. Jones would be able to relieve
the food crisis.

WAAC Made
WAC as Bill
IsApproved

President Roosevelt today
signed legislation remaining the
Women's Army Auxiliary Corps
as the Women's Army Corps and
placing the members under Army
regulations.
The age limit for the WACS, as
they now are called, is raised from
IS to so years and the members will
remain in the Army until six months
after the war.
Present members of the corps de-
string to remain must take new
oath similar to that to which SOL
diers subscribe. Those not desiring
to become a part of the Regular
Army may obtain their discharge.
Asked by Department..
The War Department requested
the legislation several months ago
telling the House Military Affairs
Committee that under the original
organization auxiliary members
were not subject to military disci-
pline and we're not eligible for pen
sions and other benefits payable to
members of the regular military es-
tablishment. .y...----.-.xs xs.s..-
The legislation makes it possible
to punish the WACS by court-mar-
tial for infractions Of Army regula-
tions, entities them to pension ben
efits and makes them eligible for
benefits under the Allotment and
Allowance Act.
The corps now numbers about g.
600 and the new legislation au-
thorizes the Secretary of War to en-
roll as many women as the Army
believes are needed, removing the
10000 limit now set by Congress
Operational Duties.
One important change made by
the legislation allows WAC officers
to take on operational duties. Here
tofore. both officers and enlisted
women were limited to command
and administrative work.
The news that the women are "in
the Army now was greeted enthu-
siastically at Fort Belvoir, Va. and
Fort Washington. Md. by the COM
manding generals as we'll as by
WACS in charge of WAC activities
at the two posts.

royalty owners, just as the 193O-194O
crop was entirely different from the
1920-1930 group. The people who win
make fortunes through ownership Of
oil lands and oil royalties are those
who will see development Of lands
not now producing.
Fortunate is the man who owns

such lands are due for speedy devel-

means that 1919 barrels out Of every
100 barrels produced is turned over
to the royalty owners who may dis
pose of their respective shares Of oil

along with the operators share, the

vestment in potential oil lands, while
speculative, offers one Of the few
opportunities for realization of
large return from a small invest
ment. Certainly there can be no more
valuable possession today than oil
in underground storage.
Someone's several someone's
will receive a million dollars Of
royalty earnings during 1943. Any
thrifty person who is willing to in
vest his BRAINS along with q little
money may possibly participate in
that million dollars. He must care
fully study the drilling plans Of
leading operators and prospectors
and he must try TO anticipate devel-
opment by judicious investment in
lands or royalties. Thereby he may
make as great fortune as did those
who participated in oil lands now
exhausted, declining or past their
peak.
