Farm Leaders Stand
Big Help 10 0PA, Says
Senator Mitchell
BY the Associoted Press

Senator Mitchell, Democrat of
Washington today described as i'm
portant help" to OPA the contention
OF major farm organizations that the
House went too far in voting to
loosen price controls.
Senator Mitchell, one of the SEN
ate's most vigorous supporters of
OPA, told reporters:
This is about the first recognition
we have had at committee hearings
from critics of OPA that weak
price control agency would be dan
gerous to the country"
Senator Mitchell was referring to
statements yesterday before the
Senate Banking Committee by Ed
ward A. O'Neal, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
and Albert Goss, master of the Ma
tional Grange. Both wanted OPA
to mend its ways" but both said
the House had been too drastic with
some of its provisions in bill to ex-
tend the price agency's life nine
months beyond June 80.
James G. Patton, president of the
National Farmers Union, gave OPA
warm Endorsement.
Milk Price Relief Urged.
On the other nand, Charles w.
Holman, representing the National
Cooperative Milk Producers Asso-
citation, asked the committee to end
all price controls on milk and its
products June 30. He, as did Mr..
O'Neal and Mr.. Goss, called for an
end to Government subsidies to pro-
cessors to keep retail prices down.
Mr.. Holman termed his propos-
ais the only remedy for a viciously
snarled price-ceiling structure that
is wrecking dairy production and
blooming American consumers to a
milk famine"
Senator Mitchell said he and
other members of the Senate are
getting increasingly heavy mail on

the issue of continuing OPA with
out Gripping amendments.
He said his last check showed
1888 letters for OPA and 1862
against.
Another ardent supporter of the
price-control agency, Senator Tay-
lor, Democrat, of Idaho, told the
new Council for American Busi-
ness last night that the small noisy
minority" opposing OPA has "a his
tory of opposition to everything the
people have wanted"
Taylor Assails NAM.
Senator Taylor denounced the
National Association of Manufac-
turers as "a handful of ,unrepre-
sentative reactionaries opposed
to every piece of progressive legis-
lation introduced in Congress (and
Who) have prospered to the tune OF
billions"
Addressing the same group, Price
Administrator Paul Porter criticized
business groups which he said would

Clark Expected 10 Act
Soon on Request for
MiewO. {. Penal Chief

Attorne. General Clark is expect
ed during be coming week to give
attention t)9 the District Commits
sioners' reqdest that the Bureau of
Prisons of the Justice Department
furnish personnel to revamp the
Districts penal institutions, which
have been under fire in Congress.
Mr.. Clark, who has been attending
a lawyers meeting in Shreveport,
La. is expected to return to the city
tomorrow night.
The Board OF Public Welfare met
yesterday afternoon at the Munich
pal Center with James V. Bennett,
director Of the Bureau of Prisons,
and pledged its cooperation to him
It also urged the District Commits
sioners to seek inclusion in the 1947
welfare budget of the 100000 rec
commended by the Hebert Commit
tee to carry out structural improve
ments at District JAIL provide ad-
ditional personnel and raise SAL
aries for guards there.
The Hebert Committee, subcom-
mittee of the House District Com
mittee, headed by Representative
Hebert, Democrat, of Louisiana, in
quired into the Districts Jail es-
capes and other penal matters. On
his return from his Easter vacation
earlier this week Representative
Hebert charged that the District
Commissioners and the Welfare
Board were giving only lip service
to his committees recommendation
and insisted on action.
No Specific Recommendations.
In the face of this criticism the
Welfare Board members said that
things were going along speedily.
They said that Mr.. Bennett made
no specific recommendation at yes
terday's conference and will be left
free to make his own inquiry if At
to take over the job, as requested by
the Commissioners.
While board members pointed out
that under the 1926 law the board is
charged with jurisdiction over Dis
trlct penal institutions, they prom
ised not to hamper any recommen-
dationS of the Bureau of Prisons.
They explained that. in effect, MI.
Bennett would be the agent of the
board. Board members said the Bu-
reau Of Prisons personnel assigned
to the District penal institutions
would have all the powers to act
that can properly be delegated to
them under the law by the board.
Board members declared that they
would not interfere in any way, by
exercise of their authority, with
changes In the penal institutions
here, If the Bureau of Prisons makes
communications. Mr.. Bennett was
on his way to Natural Bridge, Va, TO
inspect Bureau of Prisons activities
IN that area and was not available
for comment today.
Mr.. Bennett was quoted by board
members as saying that he would
cooperate with the District gov
ernment and the board.
Cooperation Stressed.
Board members emphasized that
there is wholehearted cooperation
between them and the District Com
mlssloners and Mr.. Bennett. They
added that they will cooperate in

Mr.. Porter said, referring to these
groups. He did not name them.
The business council represents
small businessmen who have petit
toned President Truman to veto the
controversial OPA extension bill if
it reaches him with the restrictive
amendments voted by the House.
The conference was to hear Leon
Henderson, first OPA chief, at
luncheon today following panel dis
cussions by businessmen.
Hits at "Has Beens."
Mr.. Porter told the group he did
not think business wishes to assume
Responsibility for precipitating such
conflicts and struck out at "has

would sacrifice for quick profits

For Truman the best that can be said is that in a
weekong demonstration of inability to grasp realities he
finally made up his mind after blowing hot cold and
ukewarm. Trmans inept performance this crisis viii
hurt him in 1948.
FOR the Democratic party it is obvious that Truman
has hammered home the last nail in the coffin of Frank

Wallace was its last symbol in Washington.
For the COP, the Wallace affair gives them an ur.

Press week or so ago. 1t had a

it went on to say:
British forces have destroyed
or greatly damaged nearly a
dozen villages in the Waziristan
area of the Northwest Frontier
Province as punishment for the
recent abduction of a British po-
litical agent by Indian tribesmen.
THE tribesmen captured Ma
jor M. o. S. Donald because they
felt the British had treated them
unfairly in distribution of cloth
and sugar. The major was re-
leased after negotiations, but the
British, who said certain inspect
fled demands had not been met,
sent planes and artillery to at
tack the villages.
1.-THE intent of the British, it
was said, was to destroy the vii
lagos of the tribesmen = whose
building materials are extremely
scarce = 'to keep them busy and
out of mischief for the next few
months
"(At London, the India Office
said this is the most humane
way of teaching them since AN
expedition into the region would
mean unnecessary loss of life
A spokesman said the tribesmen
refused to pay PREPARATIONS for
the kidnapping)
''NOTICE is given before an at
tack, it was said, but two or three
deaths have been reported be-
cause of "the mistake of the pi
lot" who bombed the wrong vii
lage."
I am sure we should all be as
happy as kings - perhaps as hap
py as King George of the British
Isles, who is also Emperor of In
dia.
But lest we indulge ourselves
in too comfortable hatred of Bri-
fish imperialism, let's look at the
American side of the coin.
1t is true that we can't match
the British style; we don't yet
operate with the open and con-

cousins. We have not yet brought

 Everybody is setting organized these days. I just read about the University of California football team getting together and de- manding S75 e month.

Perhaps they'll call a strike meeting and demand shorter games and Q closed backfield.
 Of course. some universities have been substituting players for years though they've always pretended that nothing at all unusual was going on.

Everything looks wonderful for a while-hut sooner or later he has to exhale.
 The college players always got the money technically speaking for some little job they did about the campus. My brother, the one with the very small head, had a deal like that; he got fifty dollars e month and every week he'd have to go around and polish the paper weight on the coach's desk. But he didn't understand the system. After two years he saved enough money to buy his own paper weight end quit school and went into bus iness for himself.
