House Approves MeekMe easureOn
 Full Employment
Harmless Measure Is Devoid Of References To The
 Assurance Of Jobs

WASHINGTON = CPD - A rather dreary and much watered- dOwned ''full employment bill'' has been accepted by the House in a 32O to 84 vote on a conference re- port.
 The Senate conferees backed down a good deal and all reference to either full employment or assurance of jobs" was taken out of the measure.
 Rep. George H. Bender (R.O.) de- scribed the measure as little short of a complete mess" He declared the Democratic administration leader ship has yielded to point that it is not a full employment bill and doesn't assure anyone of anything So it is a fraud. The bill doesn't even recog- nize the fundamental right of every American to a job."
 Following Bender, Rep. Robert Rich (R., Pa.) said elf I wanted to see this country become com munistic or socialist nation, would talk like the gentleman who preceded me. But l don't" Rich thought the bill as amended, went too far.
 A middle-position was taken by Rep. John J. Cochran CD. Mo.), who said that although the words full employment" and assure have been taken out of the compromise measure, we have substituted the term maxi mum employment which he argued meant the same thing
 In almost the same position was Rep. Wright Patman O., Tex.) author of the House version of the original full employment measure. Patman said the purpose of the bill was to ''get Congress to set policy on full or maximum eIn- plOyment," and he contended th' compromise did that. All agreed

Veterans Groups Back Price Controls To
New Organizations Show Liberalism

WASHINGTON - LPA) = A three-pronged fight to get swift extension of the Price Control Act without crippling amendments, and with adequate funds for adminis- tration, begins in Congress this week.
 While demands that imitation be averted, and the price line held, were flooding the White House, hearings on the extension of the Act before the House Banking and Currency Com mittee were delayed pending the out come of current White House deci- sions on administration wage price policy.
 Support Price Control Act
 The new veterans organizations were especially active in their sup port for extending the Price Control Act for full year after its present expiration date of June 30. 1o46. The Veterans League of America wired Chester Bowles, OPA Administrator that Veterans wholeheartedly SUD- port hold the line policy. Congratula- tions on the fine work you have done Stay in the fight"
 The American Veterans Commit tee purchased space in Washing ton newspapers to run an ad say. ing that ''Veterans are behind Chester Bowles We urge Con gress to act immediately to extend price control through l947."
 The American Veterans of World War II (Amvets), joined with AFL and CIO groups in signing a1national call to Fight Imitation Now" by ex- tending the Price Control Act Other signers of the call to action included more than 90 national organization heads.
 Crocers Approve
 Even the National American Wholesale Grocers' Association at its annual convention in Atlantic City went on record for maintenance of price ceilings on cost of living items for another year, or until supply and demand are in balance"
 Statewide anti-infiatiOn confer ences are scheduled in many states during this month, often under the sponsorship of a group of conn munity organizations as well as state and local government officials who are alarmed at the prospect of unbridled imitation if the Price Control Act is allowed to lapse.

Arts Society Scholarships
|A1Varded to Six Gifted Students
By Gretchen Smith
Women's Club Editor,

planned for one full scholarship
only but Mrs. Whitney found the
voices of the young contestants so
full of promise, she declares it was
impossible to eliminate all but one
and personally made the second
scholarship possible.
After brief greeting from Mrs.
Bates, Mrs. Whitney made the pres
entations, first to those awarded
scholarships for second year and
then to the new winners.
In an informal address, she ex-
planned detectives of the National
Society of Arts and Letters: To help
gifted young people bring to full
development through skilful in
struction and effort on their own
part the natural talents with which
they are endowed.
Il wish to emphasize" the slen-
der, dark-haired young music chair
man said, that this society does not
strive to encourage young talent by
only awarding scholarships. 1t is
our aim to give every young person
with a talent, whether it be music,
painting, writing, design, drama or
dancing, the opportunity to have
their talents recognized. To me
this is more important than mere
money assistance. The encourage
ment which comes to a young artist,
musician or writer through knoWl-
edge that his talent has opportunity
of recognition is as necessary as
cash awards"
Mrs. Whitney has lent to her work
in the Society of Arts and Letters
all the sympathy which stems from,
one who is herself gifted and young
Endowed with both beauty and tai
ent, she has had a distinguished
career as concert singer, has taught
music and been active in the theater
and is member of the Guild Board
of the Metropolitan Opera.
She became an active member OF
the Washington chapter while her
husband, Col. Cornelius Vanderbilt
Whitney, of the Army Air Forces
was on duty in Washington during
| the war.
| preceding tne presentation Vi tile
awards, the young winners enter
tanned with vocal selections.
The meeting at Mrs. Nicholson's
home was held following luncheon
at the Chevy Chase Country Club.
Among those attending were Lady
Willmott Lewis, Mrs. Corcorar
Thorn, Mrs. Carl Spaatz, Mrs. Law
renee Kuter, Mrs. C. c. Calhoun
Mrs. Jessie Moon Holton and many
others. Announcement was made
that Mrs. Robert l.. Walsh, wife OF
Mai. Gen. Walsh: Mrs. Anne Arch
bold and Mrs. Demarest Lloyd be-
came members of the Washington
Chapter shortly before the member
ship was closed this spring.
