iyAgencyFunds
For D. T.. Institutions
Unchanged by Senate

The Senate, passing yesterday the
House-approved Labor Department.
Federal Security Agency appropri-
alton bill, left unchanged the
amount of funds designated for
Howard University, Freedmen's Hos
pital, st. Elizabeth's Hospital, the
National Institute of Health and
the National Cancer Institute.
The House had accepted the rec
ommendation of its Appropriation
C mittee. curtailing sharply
amounts requested for a construc-
ton program and other expansion
of facilities at Howard.
Chairman McCarran Of the sub
committee in charge of the bill re-
ported the same sums for the Dis
trict institution which the House
had adopted. Both houses have
authorized $1,377,920 for an engin-
eering building and a women's dor
mitory. Several other buildings
asked by the university were not ap-
proved.
For part payment of salaries and
other expenses $941, 700 was appro-
priated. The rest of the salaries are
paid from tuition fees. For other
expenses and equipment both houses
approved $258,930.
The Senate agreed with the House
in ALLEGATIONS of 1921 300 for the
Columbia Institution for the Deaf,
1921 600 for the operation of Freed
mems Hospital, $5,966,e48 for the
National Institute of Health and
$1,772,0 900 for the National Cancer
Institute.
An appropriation Of $3,72s,458 for
st. Elizabeth's Hospital covers
general expenses of maintenance,
with $185,000 allowed for repairs
and improvements to buildings and
grounds.
A controversial amendment offer
ed by Senator Ball, Republican,
of Minnesota, intended to prevent
expenditure Of any funds allowed
the National Labor Relations Board
for negotiations with foremen, was
voted down "a to 81.
The Ball amendment would have
forbidden the board to negotiate
with any individual having authority
over as many as five employees. The
Minnesota Senator pointed out that
President Truman, in vetoing the
Case labor bill, had stated super
visory employees, who organized
were in the untenable position of
trying to represent both employers
and employees.
The Senate added $14,928127 to
the $1,136 ,500,238 total contained in
the House bill. The Senate total
however, is $26,647 ,535 under the
estimates sent by the Budget Bureau
and $51, ,203 ,221 under the appropria-
ton which Congress made last year
for the group of Federal agencies.
The bill goes to Senate-House
conference committee to iron out
differences.

He proposed:
|. Extension Of the stabilization
laws for a full year.
2. Continuation Of stabilization
subsidies on scale that would avoid
serious increases" in food prices in
the next six months and permit Or

first half of 1947 He estimated a
minimum expenditure of billion

quired for this purpose.
Policy Demanded.
8. The bill should lay down a
congressional policy with respect to
termination of price controls and

President approved provision in the
vetoed bill for the orderly removal
of all price controls and subsidies
in the coming year, with the excep-
ton Of those commodities on which

President finds still in short supply
and in regard to which, the controls
will be administered by some agency
other than OPA.
The President explained that he
would not oppose standards fol

an Independent review board, pro.

In asking Congress ito reconsider

continue. The Department OF Agri-
culture Is expected quickly to take
back the food rationing power it
conferred on OPA.
This likelihood was reinforced
when President Truman last night
signed the extended Second War
Powers Act. The act provides the
authority to continue rationing as
well as host Of other priority,

trolls.
Won't Help Price Control
That will not help to salvage
even a vestige of price control, for
the measure contains~a proviso that
none of the extraordinary powers
therein may be used to limit prices.
That was Congress way of insuring
that no other agency steps into
OPA's shoes.
Government fixing of ceiling
prices and rentals on newly con-
structed homes will continue, since
this is authorized by the Emergency
Housing Act. But housing officials
predicted they would have to be
higher ceilings than those now in
force.
Some said new-homes prices would
60 "sky-high'' because OF uncon-
trolled building material prices.
Housing Administrator Wilson Wy
att had predicted 10 to rs per
cent increase even under the OPA
bill that was vetoed.
Slaughter controls;' by which the
Government seeks to curb the black
market In meat, also probably will
be salvaged by turning the whole
show over to the Agriculture De-
partment.
Agriculture now controls the Fed :
orally inspected slaughterers. OPA

Top Officials Map Plans.
In half dozen agencies yester-
day afternoon, knots of top officials
gathered to puzzle out strategy and
lay plans for perhaps sweeping re.
adjustments. The biggest gather.
ing. OF course, was at OPA.
This certainly does upset the
apple cart" said John D. Small
Civilian Production Administrator
who called key CPA officials into
similar huddle.
The death Of price control, h,
said, will weaken the Government.

The power to set aside materials

which sets the terminal points for

the draft extension measure, pre-.
sents this timetable:
l. BY September 80, all nonvolun-
teer enlisted fathers will be released,
along with all nonvolunteer enlisted
men who have completed 20 months
service. The draft extension meas
ure permits fathers, regardless OF
length of service, to be released on
request after August /.

who will have completed 18 months
service by November 80 will be eligi-

sign up for further service.
The draft extension bill, signed
barely in time to take the place of
the six-week "stop-gap" measure
which expires tonight, allows all
men who have served 18 consecu-
tive months or longer-not counting
school time-to apply for release
starting October l.
In addition to banning the draft
OF fathers and permitting them to
apply for their release after August
!, the draft extension bill contains
these major provisions:
Extends the draft until next March
81.
Makes non-fathers 10 through A
years old liable for induction.
Limits compulsory service to l8
months.
Prohibits the re-drafting of men
who have served for at least six
months in the armed forces since
September 16, 1910.
Fixes the size of the armed forces
by July l, 1947, at 100000 for the
Army: $4,000 for the Navy and
100000 for the Marine Corps.
Service May be Extended.
A service period of more than Il
months may be ordered by the Pres.
ident if Congress declares that "tht
national interest is imperiled."
While 18-year-olds cannot b,
drafted, they are still required tt
register on their 18th birthday.
Draft boards retain their forme
powers to grant occupational de-
ferments.
Shortly before Congress voted tn
draft extension. the War Depart
ment announced it would not draf
men in July or August. About 1900

greatly impeded," because producers
would continue to hold goods of the
market in an effort to get even
better prices.
2 Further, the President charged,
this would wreck the wage stabiliza-
ton program.
The result would be the begin
ming of an inevitable spiral OF un-
controlled inflation-a race between
rising wages and rising prices" Mr..
Truman said in summation. Far
sighted leaders of both labor and
management know that nothing can
be gained-and everything lost-by
simply letting prices and wages
chase each other"
At the outset of his speech, the
Chief Executive said he vetoed
I the so-called compromise legislation
after long study because Of his con-
viction that it was no price control
bill at all"
Veto Dangers Realized.
You would have soon begun to
see thousands and thousands OF
price increase adding billions and
billions of dollars to our cost OF liv-
Ing" he continued, and emphasized:
II could not permit that to hap
pen"
Mr.. Truman said he realized the
dangers of the veto, with the OPA
deadline so near at hand, and the
accompanying possibility that "for a
few days at least we might be with
out any price-control law"
In an oblique reminder to Con-
gress, he added that II could not
bring myself to believe, however
that the representatives of the
American people-your Senators and
Representatives in Congress-would
permit such condition to continue
long"
Veto Theme Repeated.
Repeating a theme of the vett
message, the President rebukec
Congress for delaying action or
price contral, recalling that he hac
urged this legislation as long age
as last September and had renewed
this request four times.
"I know that many members o1
both Houses who voted for the bill
which was sent to me did so with
regret and only because they hae
at that time no opportunity to vot,
for good bill," the President con.
tinued.
Now every member has a clear
cut opportunity to show whether Of
not he wants effective price con-
troll"
Without going into details, he re.
T. called that he had incorporated
recommendations for new legisla.
tion in his veto message, which h.
said would be needed for a com.
paratively short period of time"

it means that their children will
