bow|es Is Denounced
By Southern Senators
For Cotton Order
Action to Block Increase
In Cloth Prices Draws
Torrent of Criticism
BY the Associated Press

Southern Senators flung a
torrent of hot criticism at Ches-
ter Bowles today for ordering
Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son to approve a cotton regula-
ton aimed at blocking clothing
price increases.
They called for the stabilization
directors resignation, termed his ac-
ton a damned outrage said he
was making farmers the goat" and
contended he had jeopardized OPA's
life. The agency is bidding for a
full years extension of its price con-
troll powers beyond June 80.
Mr.. Anderson, too, was the target
of pot shot, Senator Maybank,
Democrat, of South Carolina said:
Il am indeed sorry to see that the
Agriculture Department under Mr.
Anderson has completely surren-
dered to tne OPA."
This was a reference to the cab
met officers approval of an OPA Or
der requiring larger down payments
on cotton purchased for future de-
livery. 1t goes into effect April g.
Mr.. Bowles has contended the order
is necessary to check speculative
trading in cotton, which, he says,
has forced up cotton clothing prices.
Anderson Ordered to Sign.
/ Mr.. Anderson signed the cotton
margin order yesterday after Mr..
| Bowles directed him to do so. He
had refused to put his name to it
voluntarily, and the Attorney Gen.
erals Office ruled the measure
would not be valid without the
Secretary's signature.
Senator Maybank told a reporter
"the best thing that could happen
to the United States to stop inf1a-
ton would be for Bowles to resign" "
Other Senators expressed these SEN
| timents in interviews:
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana-"Bowles is making it
impossible for many of us to vote
for an extension of OPA without
exceptions, as we would like to do.
He is using power I say he hasn't
got"
| Senator Johnston, Democrat, of
South Carolina-"This probably is
another straw that may break down
the OPA wagon"
Senator Bankhead, Democrat of
Alabama-"If Anderson has signed
under order of Bowles, he (Bowles)
has exercised undue dureSs and CO.
ercion. He has assumed power he
has no legal right TO exercise"
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, chairman of the Senate
Agriculture Committee-"The pur-
pose (of the ORDER is to drive the
price of cotton down, making farm
ers the goat. I can't imagine any
one who has regard for the farmer
voting for OPA extension"

Mississippi-'It's a damned outrage.

Tor continued direct Government aid

The long-range Wagner-Ellender-
Taft plan is independent of the
emergency legislation to provide
homes for veterans which the COM

Chairman Wagner announced the
committee, by 7-to-4 vote, modi-
fed a provision demanded by the
AFL and the CIO.
This was clause requiring that
the wages or fees prevailing in the
locality" must be paid on any con-
struction done with the aid of Gov-
ernment loans.
1t was made inapplicable to indi-
vidual FHA-fnanced homes, but
was left in so far as public and large
scale housing construction is con-
cerned.
The emergency housing legislation
will be called up for Senate consid-

Majority Leader Barkley said he
hoped the pending minimum wage
bill could be out of the way by
Monday and that the housing bill
would then be the next order of

visions intact-price ceilings on ex-

THE response by the great export

said, adding that he doubted wheth-
