bill required the President to make
a uniform percentage" cut in "all'
appropriations to keep within the
predetermined budget.
The change in the budget-bal-
ancing feature was made on motion
of Senator Barkley, who called the
original provision too restrictive.
In the course of the days debate
Senator Overton, Democrat OF
Louisiana, called the measure a
"nefarious bill" and Senator Con-
nally, Democrat of Texas, suggested
that the Senate would be discredit-
ing itself "by telling the country
we are running the Senate in a
slip-shop way-that we need some
body to come in and tell us what
to do"
The Senate adopted another
amendment to enable a majority
of each committee to select staff
of committee experts, without rec
concentrations from the proposed
new director of personnel.
Pepper Lauds La Toilette.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida, complimented Senator La
Toilette on the preparation of the
bill. He said it gives more con-
sideration to Senators personally
than any other legislation that has
been recommended in many
decades.
Senator Pepper recalled that the
bill raises the salary OF each Sena-
tor from $4,000 to $4,000 a year,
provides each member with an
$4,000 executive assistant, makes
Senators eligible to join the civil
service retirement plan, and sets
up stenographic pool to augment
the existing Office forces.
Senator La Toilette declared that
much as I realize that the present
compensation of members of Con-
gress, which has not been increased
since 1925, is inadequate, so far as
I am personally concerned, unless
the Senate is willing to do some-
thing to demonstrate to the coun-
try that it proposes to reorganize
its structure and to make itself a
more efficient body, and to- put it.
self in the position where it can
transact the public business, I shall
not favor increases of salaries or
expense accounts.
That is one reason I wanted this
thing wrapped up In one package.
I think the country would support
the Congress if it has the courage
to reorganize itself and make it
self more efficient, in providing ade-
quate salary, or at least a salary
upon which men and their families
may live modestly and in decency,

mated today that revisions in the
price control law recommended by
a majority of the Senate Banking
Committee would cost consumers
nearly $4,000, 100000 the first year
Indirect costs, they contended
would dwarf that figure.
They declared that a years spiral
of imitation could easily result in
a so per cent general price rise
which would cut in half the value
of $145, ,000, 100000 in wartime saw
ings of individuals and businesses
In a tart minority report on the
price control extension bill, Bank

and Senators Downey. Democrat, Of
California; Taylor, Democrat, OF
Idaho, and Mitchell. Democrat, OF
Washington, declared that changes
voted by majority of the 19-mem-
ber group write death sentence

stabilization."
Bill Called Dangerous.
1T is our considered judgment,
they said, that adoption of the
bill as reported would be as dan
gerous to the economic safety OF
the country as the immediate eX-
piration of the existing laws"
The bill, which provides for ex-
tending price control year past
its June 80 expiration date. is to
be called up in the Senate tomor-
row. Majority Leader Barkley,
who has announced his strong
disagreement" with several of the
amendments curtailing OPA powers,
told reporters he hopes to bring il
to a vote by Thursday.
Senators Wagner, Downey, Tay-
lor and Mitchell blasted furiously
at the committees proposal to lift
price controls from meat. poultry
and dairy products the end of this
month.
Proposals Branded Folly.
1--WE think it folly" they said,
ito suppose that the stability of
the dollar will be maintained If
price controls have to be taken off
more than so per cent, in dollar
terms, of the Nations food products
at time when pressures are acute
on the prices of meat, milk, butter
and many other food products.
I'VE do not see how this can be
done and effective control retained
over the rest of the economy, es-
pecially when number of other
amendments weaken the admins
traitors ability to prevent unnecess-
ary price increases"
If the dollars purchasing power
is not maintained, they declared,
people will begin to draw on their
savings to buy goods at an ever
increasing rate. They added:
"Inexorably the law of supply and
demand will blow the price bubble
up further and further until at
length it will burst when pricked

New Wage Disputes Seen.
The report predicted that adop-
ton of the majority's amendments
would reopen wage disputes, force
the decontrol of grain and doom the
famine relief program of overseas
grain shipments.
Foreshadowing the general trend
Of this weeks debate, the report hit
hard at two other proposals in
addition to the meat-poultry- dairy
decontrol.
1t said a group of amendments
offering special price advantages to
the textile trade and removing an
OPA order for the production of
low-priced clothing would cost con-
sumers at least $1,250, 900 900.

THE Low DOWN
HICKORY GROVE

You know, try as hard as l
can, can't get over the idea
that what our u. S. A. needs is
gold wampum. We gotta start
sofne place if we are to get away
from the chaos that the Big
Squawks in Govt. keep saying
Is around the corner, and will
cunsume US if we don't keep
these present fellows in just a
hitle longer.
Why not change the Squawks,
says Henry-maybe that is what
aiis us versus having no gold
dincro.
I viii not get into politics too
decp. I says, but maybe you got
something there. If Uncle George
Washington laid solid kind of
foundation for a u. S. A. and
used hard money for same, you
gotta admit that gold and sill
yer didn't hurt-and maybe
helped. Also, it didn't breed 100
kinds Of chaos. And furthermore,
says, trying to be halfway
humorous and cheer Henry up,
DO you think. l says, that Mr..
Washington could have thrown a
dollar across the Potomac if it
had been paper? Well, says Hen
~, throwing one silver dollar
acr0ss the river don't hold a
candle 20 what they can do now,
with paper. They throw a couple
billion across or into the river
before breakfast. That, l says,
shows why they hold back on
making gold legal-it is too
heavy 10 shove it out so easy.
