families, police said. One was liv-
ing with a grandparent police said,

Senate Republicans
Ready for Battle on
Food Subsidies Today
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Republican members of the
Senate Banking Committee drew
a bead today on the admins
tration's request for $1,7O0,0OO,-
900 to continue food subsidies
another full year.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
advocated that the authorization be
held down to about one-fourth OF
that amount and that the payments
end by January /.
I'VE have considered taking them
OIL all at once, and still may" Sen
ator Taft told reporters, speaking
for a group of committee Republi-
cans who advocate a major reduc-
ton of OPA's powers.
Chairman Wagner asked the men,
bers to come to a closed session
today with drafts of all amendments
they intend to propose. He said he
wanted to bring as many of them as
possible to vote tomorrow.
Working Out Amendments.
1t seemed unlikely, however, that
Senator Wagner's deadline would be
observed. Senator Taft and his group
still are working on some amend
ments, including the one concerning
subsidies.

Cake Production
May Be Cut to =
| Avoid Criticism

Washington bakers are consider
ing cutting down on cake produc-
ton this week, "for psychological
reasons" Lewis G.. Graeves, presi-
dent of the Potomac States Bakers
Association, said today.
With further curtailment of bread
production this week due to diver
sion of wheat to famine countries,
the baked goods shelves of the food
stores are now being occupied by
cake only before the end of the day
"The public doesn't realize" said
Mr.. Graeves, that the soft, fine
cake -four we have on hand cannot
be used for making bread. They
think the bakers are using -four for
cake instead of bread because cake
costs more and has a larger mar
gin of profit. That's why say that
psychological reasons are causing
the industry to consider cutting
down on cake production

items coming into more plentiful
supply, and with the problems aris-
ing out of increased unit costs
since 1941.
They are considering creation of
board, independent of OPA, to say
when controls shall be lifted from
individual items. Senator Taft said
the members of such a board ought
to be subject to Senate confirmation.
Where unit production costs have
risen, Senator Taft said he believed
the average rise throughout an in
dustry ought to be added to the
manufacturers price during the base
period.
The Banking Committee already
has voted in favor of a full years
extension of price control past next
June 30, rather than the nine
months voted by the House.
The general outlook in the SEN
ate is for years extension, with
several restrictive amendments, but
not so rigorous as those adopted by
the House.
Senator Wagner still hopes to get
the bill out of committee this week.
Other members see no cause to rush
as the Senate still is tied up with
labor disputes legislation, and after
that is out of the way the lawmakers
probably will take another crack at
