The Overton pan was first pro-
posed early in 1941 by Senator John
H. Overton, Democrat, of Louisiana
At that time Senator Overton
showed that the District had been
tagging far behind in capital i'm
provements, condition which he
predicted would be aggravated by
the then expanding national defense
program. The Louisianan made his
prophecy. of course, before the phe-
nomenal expansion of District popu-
lation during World War II.
At the time of the Overton plans
origin it was estimated that appli
cation of its formula would have
brought Federal payment to the
District in the following fiscal year

Truman Silent on Plans.
Meanwhile, President Truman re-
fused to say what action he would
take on the bill if it came to him In
the form in which it has passed the
Senate and House.
The President recalled that he
never discusses legislation until ii
reaches him, and said that conse-

Bowles Issues Warning.
The administration viewpoint was
expressed last night by Chester
Bowles, director OF Economic Stabili.
zation, when he warned that in.
creases in living costs thus far are
"a drop in the bucket" compared tt
the deluge that will strike the con-
sumner if the pending changes be.
come law.
Temporary Price Rises Seen.
The theory on which a majority
In both houses acted is that re-
conversion has been held back by
adhering too rigidly to wartime
price ceilings, resulting in scarcity
and black markets. Their conten-
ton is that relaxed controls may
cause temporary price rises. bu,
that increased production soon will
put the law Of supply and demand
to work
The Senate bill would end all

Some Groups Suggest Veto.

costing that President Truman veto

ference, in the hope that Congress

Serious ChalIengers.
If Mr.. Bricker is to have a serious
challenger for the presidential nomi-
nation, the leaders believe it will
come from Gov Warren of Cali
fornia or from Gov. Dewey of New
York. provided the latter is re-
elected in the Empire State next
November. Gov Warren's spec
tacular run in the California pri-
maries, capturing both the Demo-
cratic and Republican nominations,
has aroused great interest in the
Californian. They realize that Mr..
Bricker must also make some ar
rangement with Senator Taft about
the presidential nomination, if he
is to have the backing of the Ohio
delegation in the 1913 national con-
vention. But they are confident
that such an arrangement will be
made and that Ohio Republicans
will not be split by a hot primary
fight.
On the Democratic side of the
presidential picture for 1913, Presi-
dent Truman looms as the only
probable candidate. Democrats in
sist he will become stronger as time
goes on. They see no one else in
prospect, if the President stands for
denomination as he Is expected to
do. They are basing their hopes on
improved industrial and domestic
conditions and on a reunion with
organized labor forces, despite the
recent criticism Of the President by
labor leaders.
The only other presidential pos
sibility I have heard mentioned
among the Democrats, should Mr.
Truman not be the nominee, Is Gov.
Lausche Of Ohio, who is himself O.
carfdidate for reelection this year.
