no further. The Senate as a whole
may do better when it comes to pass
On the bill, of course, but that re-
mains to be seen.
Nothing much else was done that
day by the Senate, many of its
members being scattered about the
globe, two of them engaged in the
dubious business of interviewing
Doughboys as to whether they'd like
to remain in Europe and fight the
Russians. But over on the House
side an exhibition Of something less
than craftsmanship was being given
Confronted with a budget for the
Offlce of War Information which
had been trimmed and retrimmed
first by the Budget Bureau and then
by the House Appropriations Com
mittee, the House members shut
their eyes and swung the ak, cut
ting the appropriation squarely in
two. One effect was to eliminate
any international work by Owl in
Germany, leaving that task largely
to the Chicago Tribune, which has
launched German edition IN Ham,
burg.
Then came up the matter of q
few thousand dollars to operate the
Office of Economic Sterilization, the
agency that spends its days and
nights fighting off imitation. BY a
vote Of 81 to 69-the total making
much less than a quorum-the
House first moved to strike out the
appropriation and thereby abolish
the OES. On reconsideration it
voted, 113 to 100-still less than a
quorum present-to continue OES,
but it was a narrow squeak.
On a point of order the members
lodged once more their. obligation
to carry out the pledge of both
political parties to make permanent
the Fair Employment Practices
Committees pledge of which they
had just been reminded by President
Truman. Not only that, but in
effect they decreed the death of the
present FEPC by refusing to vote 1t
any funds whatever. On this ex-
tremely important matter they were
able to escape personal responsibility
by avoiding a record vote.
And just to make sure the people
got no part of their moneys worth
a deputy sergeant at arms moved In
and prevented a fist fight that would
at least have frightened up a dis
couraging day.
This, of all days, was the one ON
which Senators Overton, Democrat,
and Bridges, Republican, decided to
introduce their bill raising Con-
gressmen's salaries from $4,000 to
$4,000!
Somebody with a genius for figures
has announced that this would mean
only an additional 81 cents per
annum that each man, woman and
child in the country would have to
pay toward the Congressmen's sal
aries. This isn't quite accurate.
since children and some others pay
little or nothing toward the upkeep
OF Congressman and they'd pay less
than 81 cents additional while some
of us would have to pay more. In
any case the Congressman would do
well to discourage that line of argu-
ment because it raises at once the
practical question: Are Congressman
worth 81 cents year more than
they used to be? That might lead

Mr.. Rogers praised rural contri-

termed the securities SPLENDID in

areas had been seriously hamper

labor shortages. The best way to
eliminate these restrictions was to
end the war quickly by the pur-
chase of War Bonds, he continued.
j. G. Thornton, co-chairman OF
the New Hanover county and Viii

expressed the belief that agricul-

had borrowed money from the

officials to break the growing meat

Barring last minute changes, the

i. A so cents per hundredweight
