signs the committee may be upset
on its recommendation that any ex-
tension be optional.
Would Cut Out Option.
A move is developing to apply
additional weeks of Federal financ-
ing to all States. This could be &C
complished by striking out a last
minute clause adopted in commit
tee Thursday, requiring a Governor
to request action before the Gov
eminent would extend the duratio
of payments.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
member of the committee, indi-
Gated there would be strong support
for motion to strike out the option
and said the vote probably will be
close.
No difficulty is expected in the
Senate ever provisions extending
unemployment compensation COW
erage to Federal employees and mari
time workers until June 80, 1947.
The Government will pay its laid
of workers at rates fixed in the
States where they work, and will
continue the payments for an addi-
tional so per cent of time up to Is
weeks. Government workers laid of
here would be paid under District
law.
Travel Item Expected.

for travel expenses, up to a 5000
limit. to help war workers get their
families back home, or to another
job.
The Senate Banking Committee
will resume on Tuesday the battle
over the dong range full employ
ment bill, which seeks to outline a
declaration of governmental policy
for averting depressions
Senate Republicans held a party
conference yesterday, exchanging
views on both bills, without taking
any formal action. Senator Taft
explained to his colleagues what has
been done on the full employment
bill in Banking Subcommittee.
The Ohioan told reporters later he
believes the real fight" on the bill
should be made on the public
spending policy. There are two
major issues in the bill, he said:
First, the broad definitions of the
right to work and of the Govern
ment's obligation to assure" job
opportunities for all; second, the
compensatory public spending policy
to create jobs when reports indicate
private industry will not absorb
available workers.
To Fight for Amendment.
| Senator Taft said the broad def
nitions meet with his full approval
| If, as construed by the authors OF
the bill, they express moral obi
cation. He said he still thinks,
however, there is danger of feoling
the workers" into believing the def
fnitions convey legal obligation to
! provide work
The Ohio Senator Is expected to
renew in the Banking Committee his
amendment to require that any pub
lie spending program under the bill
be accompanied by taxes to prevent
net increase in the national debt,
except in the case of liquidation
projects. This and other restrictive
amendments failed in the subcom-
mittee last week on tie votes, S
to 5.
The full employment bill will not
reach the Senate floor for another
week or 10 days and has not yet even
been considered in House COM
mittee.

said. output of most plants is only

Good, healthy appetites are new

more hungry than ever when sup
per time comes. And that is as it

the members of the family to enjoy
their meals to the full.
Sometimes though it is a little
hard to find the right foods to pro-
vide Well-balanced meals for those
growing young appetites, and to
have the proper vitamin content
for the older members of the fam
lily who are required to stand up
under the daily strain Of hard work

don't stretch far enough, and the
favorite foods are scarce and hard
to find.
1t is to meet these meal time
problems that Sno-White Market is
doing everything within its power
to help. Of course our market can
not offer the unlimited selection
which we hope to have in the post

all the good food for your selection
that is obtainable at this time, and
we will continue to give our Gus

best service we can furnish.
