Senators Study Plan
Designed 10 Avert
Major 0PA Revision
Amendment to Replace
Proposals Of Thomas
And Tuft Considered
Bv J. A. OLEARY.

Senate leaders were reported
to be ready today to try to head
of drastic changes in the Price
Control Act, which the OPA
fears would break down its Sys-
tenn. by offering a modified re-
vision.
AS the Senate met at II am in
the hope of voting by this evening.
administration spokesmen were un-
derstood to be working on an
amendment they plan to offer in
place of the new pricing formulas
proposed by Senators Thomas, Dem
ocrat, of Oklahoma, and Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio.
Both these opposition amend
ments are designed to assure indi-
vidual professors a reasonable
profit. The Thomas amendment,
which has the better chance of
passing, is limited to agricultural
products. The Taft amendment is
intended to accomplish the same
end for industries
OPA officials have expressed fear
the amendments would prevent uni
form pricing, or impose on the
agency the almost impossible task
of ascertaining separate cost fig
ures for the segments Of an in
dustry.
Supporters of the Thomas and
Taft amendments contend OPA
price fixing methods are too restric-
tive, and will discourage business
from going into job-producing ven-
lures as war contracts expire.
The Senate is closely divided over
the issue of changing pricing meth
ods, and advocates of a change were
still weighing today the advisability
of combining the Thomas and Taft
amendments, but no decision on that
step had been reached at noon.
Although the Thomas amendment
admittedly is the stronger of the
two, its hackers were not certain
what the result would be If the two
were combined.

Citizenship Day Was A Success

We take this occasion to add this postscript message of
q job well done" at the close of the recent registration drive
of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, which added 33 new
names to the voting rolls in Jackson County during the past
month and which increased the rolls in Pascagoula by 20
per cent.
There are still less than 1900 voters in this city,
whose population numbers somewhere around $4,000,
and this leaves much work to be done in the coming
years before we can actually feel that a healthy proper
ton of our citizens are exercising the privileges, and
living up to the responsibilities, of citizenship in a DEM
ocracy. But on the other hand, an increase of 20 per
cent is admirable progress, and we think the Junior
Chamber would be well justified in carrying on the
Citizenship Day program, with its preliminary campaign,
as an annual affair.
They are to be congratulated, moreover, on taking the
initiative to call to our attention the need for greater partici-
patton of our people in our democratic rights and principles.
Too many of us, of all classes, have taken democracy" too
much for granted, and have used the word too often without
really understanding its real nature and our duties and
privileges under its banners. 1t takes a campaign of some
sort, handled by responsible people, with effective informa-
ton and pointed talks and publicity, to remind us of the
things we SO easily and carelessly forget. The Jaycees have
done the community a real service by undertaking this job.

Chronicle-Star and Moss Point Advertiser.
In an effort to complete at the earliest possible moment
engineering plans for construction. and equipment at Mason
ties Laurel plant in connection with the stream pollution
problem, the company has arranged for principal vendors of
the needed equipment to meet with its representatives in
Laurel on Monday, August 6.
Vendors have been asked by Masonite to submit firm
proposals on a guaranteed performance basis at that time.
Masonic has been working on priorities for equipment in the
interest OF obtaining it as quickly as possible. The company's
appropriation of one quarter million dollars to be spent
solely in connection with the stream pollution problem was
arrived at on the basis of engineering plans as complete as
possible with existing knowledge of possibilities, but it is
pointed out that the successful carrying out of plans necessa-
rly depends upon the equipment which must be obtained.
Masonite does not consider itself as sidestepping criticism
in this matter or failing to fulfill a reported promise by not
releasing plans In details because the plans necessarily de-
pend upon equipment obtainable at this time. The company
naturally wants to be able to fulfill any statement in regard
to plans for this work. When it is learned next week how
soon the equipment can be obtained, the company will i'm
mediately announce plans which can and will be carried out
as quickly as possible.

Masonite Corporation.
