Our Dramatic Senate
By Thomas Stokes

You can treat this moral question and get indignant about the way they have been held back for higher prices Or you resign yourself to what Senator ODaniel Of Texas calls The American Way" which, translated, seems to mean to get all you can while the getting is good For after all the profit system Is the motive power of economy. It all seems a bit screWy but that's the way it is You can't explain it.
 Then you get in cab to go downtown away trqp this private world, and the driver wants to know what they're doing about OPA.
 Truman certainly told them didn't he? think they should have OPA all the time know what everybody ought to do--just little possible for week You can do it. I've done it. Then they'd come down with those prices in hurry"
 And downtown there's buyer strike on with young men and women carrying placards and hand ing out leaflets An occasional woman looks about consciously she slips of and tries conscience skipping gingerly sensitive brain nerve.
 The revolutionary spirit still persists in the Amer can people, for which there should be some thanks You get the feeling that this things goes much deep CT than some of those men up in the ar-cooled Sen ate chamber realize as they yap, yap, yap and urge camness. They push their little brooms like modern Canutes, sweeping against something that comes roaring in with every chatter of the market ticker as prices go to what is technically called "a new high" for all time
 Whatever happens OPA you have the feeling that this revolutionary spirit will continue unless prices are kept down, that the Summer will be full of buyers strikes and picket lines This issue goes right into every home. People around here are trying to figure out how much of political issue it will be in November.
 The little gentleman in the bow tie in the White House has spoken his pece-and loud He sits and watches and listens.

impressionistc writer who uses dashes like this
 There's nightmarish quality about it. With dm roar like revolution in the background
 This roar does not seem to penetrate the cham- Der of the U s. Senate. To all purposes it is her medically sealed. There's the feeling of being in gallery You find yourself hanging precariously on the edge of a revolving little world all it's own in which presently nothing seems to make sense
 There down below seeming far away and some how futile is Senator Taft of Ohio rattling away in that harsh voice, the schoolmaSter incarnate still talking back to President Truman. Senator Wherry tR.-Neb) gets up and jumps about and throws his arms around nervously like 3 pudgy marionette Jlggled by an unseen hand. He reads market quota tons and protests that prices really going up much, as if to convince himself. .. Democratic Leader Barkley gets up and down. slowly and majesticaly. He is like the patient pastor of Wel-appointed and Well-heeled parish He tells his WedresSed flock that the way of salvation other wise than shipping price controls from practically everything. He does it all in restrained gentlemanly manner. His former evangelical fervor is gone No body needs him.
 As Senator Wherry tells dramatically about the number of cattle pouring into market you can almost hear the laundering herd. You can almost see the animals croWdng in the chutes, shufng along close packed to their ordained destiny, wailing in that minor key like calves lost in the mountains
 Where have all these animals been while the men Of the Senate complained there was no meat for America? All the other things people wanted to buy = where have they been?

Corn Leads Recession As
Hog Market Undergoes

CHICAGO. July 1S-P)-Grains
weakened in a light trade today
as the market marked time while
awaiting outcome of the House
Senate conference OH revived OPA
legislation.
Corn was easy throughout the
session and paced the downturn.
Grain men pointed out that if de-
control measures were removed
from the new OPA bill prices on
corn would be rolled back SUBJ
st~antially. Oats weakened with the
yellow cereal in late trading.
Final prices or corn were % SD
lower, January S1.61, while oats
were off 3-8 to a cent, July 81 IA.
There was no trade in barley.
Hog Market Off
An additional depressing factor
in corr was the sharp break in the
hog market, where losses extended
to $3.50 a hundred pounds and
1000 head we're left unsold when
the market closed. Heavy market
ing of hogs also was reducing the
demand for feed grains. traders
said.
Weather new was favorable.
Scattered showers fell in the north
west spring wheat area and there
were predictions OF rain overnight
for parts of Iowa and Illinois.
Grain experts said moisture would
be desirable in both areas.
A report by The Southwestern
Miller, a trade publication, said
the production and marketing ad-
ministration had purchased more
flour for export since April II than
in all of last year. This was seen
as confirming trade reports the
Agriculture department plans to
concentrate upon exporting flour
rather than wheat from which
flour is made.
Mixed Spot Prices
Spot prices in the cash market
were mixed. Wheat was quoted
lower at the start but then ad-
vanced to close / to 3 cents high
err. Corn slumped. No. 2 yellow sold
in the spot market at 1921 to 1928
which compared with a. top late

Primary receipts of oats today
