contended that oak wood was su-

Senate Group Renews
Effort 10 Complete
0PA Measure Today
BY the Associated Press

The Senate Banking Commit
tee went back to work today on
an OPA bill which Stabiliza ton
Director BoWles said is taking
the shape of a "monstrous
thing"
Specifically, the committee sought
a decision as to whether its pre-
vious action in voting to eliminate
meat and dairy price controls June
80 would permit looping off an ad-
ditional $600,000,000 in food sub
sides.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
estimated that ii meat and dairy
prices are allowed to assume their
supply-and-demand level, about
two-thirds of the $500 ,OOO, 900 set up
Tor food subsidies from June 80,
1916, to May /, 1947, will be un-
necessary. OPA had asked approxi-
mately 81 100000, 900 for food sub
sides, and the right to pay them
an additional full II months after
the present price-control act ex-
pireS June 30.
Wagner Hopes for Reversal.
Chairman Wagner still talked
optimistically of persuading the
committee to reverse it's decision
to remove controls from meat and
dairy foodstutfs. There was no in
dicatjon elsewhere, however, that
this could or would be done.
But Mr.. Bowles voiced a renewed
plea not only for a reversal of
that action, but others which he
said threaten to wreck our hopes
OF stability and full production.
He said the meat decision would
increase prices 40 to so per cent by
September and declared last weeks
raise in dairy ceilings are only
curtain raiser to what lies ahead"
for milk, butter and cheese.
Other amendments already ac-
cepted by the committee, the stabil-
ization administrator said in radio
address last night, would make it
impossible to hold the line on rents.
would lift clothing prices 10 per
cent and cut down -four at home
and grain shipments to hungry
abroad.
TO me- Mr., Bowles asserted,
the bill which the Senate Commit
Tee seems determined to recommend
is a monstrouS thing"
With the committee renewing its
efforts to finish the bill today, Sem
ator Taft indicated he might seek
another vote on his price margin
amendment. rejected yesterday on
an 8-to-8 tie.
Additional Price Permissible.
That amendment would tell OPA
that price ceilings must be set so
as to allow manufacturers and pro-
cessors the price they charged for
an article in the base period October
Ills, 194l, plus the weighted average
unit cost increase since then in the
industry. ~
Majority Leader Barkley has aban-
doned hope of getting the one-year
extension bill up before the Senate
earlier than next week.
Meanwhile, there is talk in the
cloakrooms and corridors that OPA
may be in for an even rougher ride
on the Senate floor than it was in
the Banking Committee. 1t Is con-
sidered certain that attempts will
be made to exempt whole categories
of products from price control. and
some Senators are advocating kill
ing OPA outright the end Of this
month.
Mr.. Bowles said that course would
be preferable to the one now being
followed.
III we intend to sell out the pub
lie interest in an effort to please
the pressure groups" he said. "let's
be honest about that. Let S eliminate
price and rent control once and for
ALL"

Draft Of House Report
Criticizes Accounting
OF Wartime Shipping.
BY the Associated Press

A report that the wartime ac-
counting of the Maritime Commits
sion and the War Shipping Admin
istration was 'unsound' and cha
otto" was made public yesterday by
a member of the House Merchant
Marine Committee.
The report, sharply criticizing the
handling of the billion dollar ship
ping program, was prepared by
Marvin Coles, committee counsel,
following extensive committee hear
ings. 1t will be submitted for the
Committees formal consideration at
meeting Thursday.
1t contains this summary:
Accounting-the practices were
"unsound" and the accounts Ibid
not actually reflect actual fact
the result being ito jeopardize the
financial interests of the Govern
ment.' While no fraud was found,
the records were in such chaotic
state as to have made possible seri-
Gus monetary loss TO the Govern
ment. Many accounting rec
ords which reflected moneys owed
by private companies to the Gov
ernment had not been processed"
and no effort had been made to
collect these moneys.
Tax Agreement Made.
TaXes-negotiations between the
Internal Revenue Bureau and subsi-
died ship operators, have resulted in
an agreement by which the II oper-
ators will pay an estimated s38,000.-
900 in taxes. The report criticized
the Treasury for failure to have
acted more promptly" censured the
Maritime Commission for its policies
on wartime deposits in reserve funds
and said the operators themselves
should have pressed for quicker
action" on their tax status With
out committee action, it added the
taxes, on which no action had been
taken by the Government since 1912,
would probably never have been
recovered"
Requisition of ships from the
Grace Lines, Inc, and the United
States Lines-"from a dollar-and-
cents standpoint, this treatment on
two different price bases resulted
in a benefit Of several millions of
dollars to the lines and a converse
cost to the Government of the same
amount. This action by the
Maritime Commission was contrary
to the intent Of Congress ="
Program Called Slow.
Ship disposal-The program has
been "slow" and substantial delays
have developed" but at appears that
the commission is making a substan-
tial effort to handle a huge job
fairly"
Shipyard disposal-"E Evidence was
found of failure adequately to pro-
tect the Governments interest in
these transactions by failure to open
the shipyard sales to competitive
bids as we'll as by agreeing to terms
on the basis of inadequste figures
and surveys"
