House Vote

Food Power
PRICING SHIFTED
Republicans Press Through
Broadened Version
OF Hoover Plan

WASHINGTON, June % up -
IN a bitter uprising against meat.
sugar and other shortages, the
House voted 145 to 142 today to
"trip the OPA of jurisdiction over
food pricing and to pl y this re-
sponsibility in the Agriculture De-
partment.
With many Democrats absent,
Republicans pressed through a
broadened version of a recommen-
dation by Herbert Hoover for "an
administrative revolution to solve
the meat famine"
The action, taken by teller vote,
is subject to a later roll call vote.
Democrats, seeing themselves
outnumbered at least temporarily
in the virtually straight party line
voting. put off the final showdown
until tomorrow.
The administration defeat came
after Democrat party lines prev.
iously had held firm to beat back
numerous amendments designed
to curb OPA powers.
One Republican amendment, de-
teated TT to 1876, would have held
OPA's new lease on life to six
months instead of year as sought
by the administration. Others de-
feated proposed various limitations
on OPA's pricing powers.
Under the food amendment, Of.
fered by Rep. jenkins (R-Ohio) r,
chairman of the House Republican
food study committee, the OPA
would retain control over details
of food rationing but lose all other
authority over the nations larders.
The Republican victory came
after Democratic Leader McCor.
mack of Massachusetts, declared
that this is the Hoover amend
ment' and pleaded for its defeat.
Rep. Clinton P. Anderson ID.
NM), who becomes Agriculture Sec.
rotary June l, voted against the
transfer of authority from OPA to
his own hands. He told the House
he would not run from any re.
sponsibility but I don't want to be
policeman"
Hoover, former president and
World War 1 food administrator,
wrote Jenkins a letter which was
read to the House, declaring that
''the existence of black markets
in meats and fats in every city
of the country is sufficient evi.
dence of a breakdown in control
Of both distribution and price"
He proposed IAN administrative
revolution" transferring all meat
authority except the details of ra-
tioning from the OPA to the Ag.
riculture Department. jenkins i'm.
mediately broadened the proposal
into an amendment shifting all food
authority except rationing from
Chester Bowles, OPA administra-
tor. to the incoming Agriculture
Secretary, Anderson.
When it was obvious that Re.
publicans might outnumber Demo.
Gratis on the floor, to press through
the Jenkins amendment, the Demo.
cratic leade4 ship put on a slow
motion voting procedure as mem
bers passed through the tellers,
hoping that more opponents of the
amendment might appear.
Losing despite this maneuver.
Chairman Spence (D-Ky) moved
that the House forego further con-
sideration of the OPA extension
legislator today. Republicans made
an issue of this but lost 154 tc
l32 and the roll call on the Jen'
klns amendment was delayed tc

The Divi- sion of Vocational Rehabilitation of the State Department of Educa- ton now maintains a program of vocational rehabilitation for men tai patients.
 Doctor Cunningham pointed out that the examination of men for the armed forces revealed the ex- tent of various types of mental ill., ness in the population. He stressed the fact that the problem of re- adjusting these servicemen has been overemphasized to some extent, but he warned against minimizing the need for providing facilities for those veterans who will need treat ment. He advocated a realistic ap- praisal of the needs and establish ment of program to meet them.

Connecticut Prepare To Restore Airmarkers
Federal Government Gives GO Ahead Signal on Post.
 War Program; State Rated Among Best

With the cessation of hostilities in the European theater of opera tions and the subsequent removal of any threat of attack at the east ern seaboard, the Federal author ities have flashed the green light for the several states to resume the airmarking program. Airmarkings have proven of great value to pilots in checking their course or who have become lost. Many instances have been recorded where such Identification signs have, beyond doubt, saved lives.
 Commissioner Kenneth H. Ring rose has announced that the Con- necticut Department of Aeronau- tics. in keeping with its policy of taking all steps possible to promote safe flyng conditions within this state, has immediately fallen in step and reactivated its former pro- gram of airmarking. Connecticut had one of the best airmarked states in the country.
 This program provided about three hundred airmarking signs in Connecticut previous to the start of World War II, but with the decla- ration of war, instructions were re- ceived from the military authorities calling for the obliteration of these navgational ads. A majority of these former signs will now be re- placed. These airmarking signs are generally placed on the roofs of large buildings which are clearly visible from the air.
 To serve this purpose effectively, airmarkers should be as simple as possible and should be of sufficient size to be legible from an altitude of at least three thousand feet.
 Each marker will carry, in addi- tion to the name of the town, the latitude and longitude in degrees and minutes, separated by an arrow indicating true north. If space per- mits, an arrow and figure, of stand ard design, will indicate the direc- tion and distance to the nearest arport which may be used in the event of an emergency.
 These signs are placed on suitable buildings with the owners permis- sion by an experienced airmarking ] crew of the Department of Aero

This Weeks Visitor"
Widow Following Friends Advice Learns to Her Amusement Late Husbands Former Occupa- ton Had Provided Security for
 Her Children
Her Children.
By EDWARD N. MULLARKEY.

Every day our office is visited by men and women who want in- formation and advice on their so- cial security accounts - who want to know more about their person. al stake in the Federal insurance system. Each one is interesting but out of the many who come there are always a few who stand out above the others. Each week we choose the most i interesting among them to tell you about in this column without, of course, mentioning any real names.
 This weeks visitor who we will call Mrs. Francis, was a quietly dressed woman about thirty-fve years old. Although she was not wearing dack we guessed at once that she was widow, the signs of great and recent sorrow on her face and her air of facing respon- sibilities for which she was ill pre- pared were unmistakable.
 T came in," she said after she had introduced herself, just on the chance that you can help me. My neighbor, who has been read ing your column, insisted that I come and talk with you because she thinks I may be entitled to social security benefits. I am not of her opinion. came partly be- cause promised I would take her advicerand partly because I hoped you might help me get job. You see, I have three children to take care of, and my savings are about gone. My husbands life insurance went to pay for burial expenses and to finish paying on our home"
 Before we talk about job for you" I said, "let's talk about your husbands work. What sort of job did he have, Mrs. Francis?"
 He was in business for himself" she replied. He was a photog- rapher."
 Our hearts sank; the self-em- ployed, as you know, are not cov- cred by old-age and survivors in- surance. But our spirits rose again as Mrs. Francis went on.
 At least, that's what he was since last Christmas. He was manager in a shoe store before that. Photography was always his hobby, and just before Christmas he decided to go into 1t as a profession"
 If your husband worked in a store, Mrs. Francis" I said, you may be entitled to benefits after all. How long did he work in the shoe store?"
 ''Oh, ever since we were mar ried - ten years - except for this past year." she answered.
 I made inquiry about her hus- bands salary and then quickly did some figuring. Mrs. Francis" I told her, T have every reason to believe that you are entitled to survivors insurance payments. If his social security account in Bal thnore bears out what you tell us, with three small children in your care you will undoubtedly be en- titled to sizeable monthly pay ments. AS figure it out, you and your children are likely to get about $66 month"
 Mrs. Francis go so excited that she stodo up and then sat down again very suddenly. Tears came to her eyes as she said with en1o-

Long Range Program
 For Mental Illness
Facilities to Be Provided for Prevention, Rehabilitation
 of Patients Announces Dr.. Cunningham

Connecticut residents will be pro- vided with facilities for the preven- ton, treatment and rehabilitation of mental illness by means of a long range program recently authorized by the State Legislature, declared James M. Cunningham, MD., di- rector, Bureau of Mental Hygiene in the weekly Connecticut State Department of Health broadcast over Station WTTC.
 Connecticut has already developed some facilities for dealing with men, tai disorders but the recently passed mental hygiene bill has made it pos sible to increase the services needed to cover various aspects of the problem.
 Mental hygiene clinics maintained by the state or by the larger cities for years have been working toward the prevention of mental illness of children. As those clinics were in sufficient in number to meet the demands for service. one section of the mental hygiene bill makes pro- vision for increasing the facilities for preventive work.
 Treatment for adults requiring care in mental hospitals has been available. Connecticut public and private mental hospitals are among the best in the country. For the large group of ambulatory patients who could be treated in private offices. clinics or general hospitals, however. there were only limited resources. The new law provides for this group by authorizing clinics for mental defective and epileptic persons at state schools for mental defectives by establishing psychia- tric clinics for adults by the state mental hospitals and for aiding general hospitals in the develop ment of psychiatric service.
 Rehabilitation promises to be
