House Banking Group
Prepares 10 Salvage
|CCC From Vetoed Bill
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Banking Commit
tee moved today to salvage the
Commodity Credit Corp. from
the wreckage OF the vetoed con-
sumer subsidy ban bill.
Chairman Spence called the COM
mittee together In the hope Of win
ming quick approval Of legislation
to continue the CCC until July /,
l945, with the controversial sub
sidy issue eliminated. He was hope
full, he said, OF obtaining House
approval before the end Of the day.
The CCC technically ceased to ex-
ist as a Government agency when
the House last Friday sustained the
Presidents veto Of legislation con-
tinuing 1t but outlawing the ad-
ministration's consumer subsidy
program.
Some Obstacles Seen.
Several obstacles were in the path
Of the new renewal legislation. A
high-ranking Republican member
of the committee said he doubted
II the measure could be considered
by the House before Wednesday be-
cause Of a gentlemans agreement
to take UP nothing controversial
until after Washington's birthday
anniversary.
Some Of the members" he said,
want to amend the renewal legis-
lation to freeze the subsidy pro-
gram where 1t Is or to limit its
operation to next December 81"
Representative Wolcott, Republic
an, of Michigan, leader Of the anti
subsidy wing in the House and rank
ing minority member OF the Bank
ing Committee, said he had no OBJ
lection to continuance Of the CCC,
but believed continuing legislation
should provide for regular appraisals
and auditing.
by that" Mr.. Wolcott explained,
Il do not mean that have given up
the fight against consumer subsidies.
That fight has Just begun"
ODA Hearings Open Soon.
His new assault, he said, will begin
when the Banking Committee con-
siders legislation to continue opera
ton Of the Price Control Act under
which the Once of Price Admins
tration was created. The act expires
next June 80, and Chairman Spence
said he expected hearings to start
probably next month on legislation
to extend it.
Should . price control act with q
subsidy ban be sent to the White
House. the President would be faced
with the alternatives Of yielding to
the ban or, through a veto, leaving
the Nation without price control
law in the middle Of q war.

today-she definitely is going, at a
time to be set by the President and

three Government departments as
the joint arbiters on her trip, she
added, You know-an the people
who decide everything to do"
She plans to take limited bag
gage, mainly tropical clothes and a
portable typewriter-"the least that

Commenting on pending draft
legislation, Mrs. Roosevelt said she
has no objection to boys under 18

60 overseas until they are over 18.
She reiterated her belief that after

service Of some sort.
Mrs. Roosevelt asserted that civil

II I were member Of the WPB," +"
she said, II am sure would release
items on the basis, first, of the sur

ondly, insofar as I possibly could,
Tor production of such items as

new countries. We must get an ac-
