COP Chairman Race
Narrows on Eve Of
Meeting Tomorrow
By the Associoted Prsss

Republicans reported yesterday
the race to succeed Herbert Brownell
as national chairman was narrowing
down to another probable contest
between the Dewey and Taft forces
They advanced their opinions as
national committeeman assembled
for meeting here tomorrow at
which someone would be named to
take the retiring Brownell's place.
Mr.. Brownell and others said the
race was still wide open" But some
asserted that it looked like two
man competition between John A.
Danaher, former Connecticut SEN
ator, and Representative Reece Of
Tennessee, both lawyers and World
War Veterans.
Mr.. Danaher was reported to have
the backing of supporters of Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, 1914 presidential
candidate. The camp of Senator
Taft of Ohio, who had contested
with Gov. Dewey for the presidential
nomination in 1910, was behind
either Mr.. Reece or Representative
Brown of Ohio.
Unwilling to Quit House.
While Mr.. Brown has many sup
porters, including friends of John
w. Bricker, vice presidential nomi-
nee in 1914, the majority opinion
appeared to favor some one who
would make the Craftsmanship full
time job Mr.. Brown is known to
be unwilling to resign his seat in
the House.
Mr.. Reece is not adverse to giving
up his seat. Mr.. Danaher is already
a $20,000-a-year congressional aide
to the National Committee.
Sinclair Weeks, Massachusetts
committeeman, was among those
favoring a full-time chairman. He
was certain the committee would not
pick any one who wants to stay in
Congress"
Mr.. Reece, the first Southerner
considered for the post in the party's
history, was reported to have been
promised support from ALI M. Lam
don, the party's 1886 presidential
standard bearer, and Senator
Hawkes. of New Jersey.
While hotel lobby talk concerned
the Craftsmanship, attention of early
was drawn to a double blast
at the Truman administration by
Mr.. Brownell, who is giving up the
Craftsmanship to devote his time to
his New York law practice.
Brownell Attacks Truman.
In an editorial written for a forth
coming issue of the party organ,
THE Republican News" Mr.. Brow
nell criticized President Truman's
first year in office and asserted:
THE Nation has had enough of
little men rattling around in big
jobs"
He said the President had applied
machine politics" in selecting men
for high Office. He mentioned Ed
win w. Pauley in this connection
and said Mr.. Pauley's nomination
Tor Navy Undersecretary was more
in harmony with the ethics of the
Pendergast machine in Kansas City
than with the degree of public NOR
atty which the Nation had a right
% expect from its Chief Executive.
Mr.. Brownell asserted the Presi-
tents first year in Office also re-
ulted in the United States losing
he proud pre-eminence among the
lations of the world which it en-
Dyed one year ago." He said the
omestic reconversion program was
still stalled on dead center"
At news conference Mr.. Brownell
redicted If the election were held
oday the Republicans would gain
ontrol Of the House and would
tand "a splendid chance" of win
ling the Senate.

Bipartisan Opposition
To Farm Parity Rise
Develops in House
By the Associated Press

Formidable opposition de-
veloped among Democrats and
Republicans in the House yester-
day to the Senate-approved re-
vision of the farm parity formula.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Anderson gave Congress his
idea of how prices would increase if
the Senate revision prevails. He said
the Senate revision would boost par
ity prices by 33 per cent and this
certainly would lead to imitation. i"
Chairman Flanagan of the House
agriculture Committee and Repre-
sentative Hope of Kansas, senior
committee Republican, told newsmen
they did not believe such horizon
tai increase of parity would solve
the farmers price problems.
Il believe it would do more harm
than good" Mr.. Flanagan said.
Urge Revision of Formula.
However. he and Mr.. Hope said
there should be a revision of the
foynula, and Mr.. Flanagan an
nounced he will call the Agriculture
Committee together to consider a
full overhaul of the parity system.
/. Secretary Anderson sent to Capt.
tol Hill a statement setting out in
detail, based on February IS figures,
what farm prices are, the present
parity figure, and what parity would
be under the Senate action, as
follows:
Evening star., 1946-03-31

Mr.. Hope said the large increase
In cotton and wheat prices, if the
Senate bill became law, might do
serious injury to farmers producing
these commodities. In the case of
cotton, he argued, it would open the
field for competitive fibers and
paper substitutes, and he said the
long range export markets for both
cotton and wheat might be en-
dangered.
With President Truman already
having given notice of veto of the
Senates proposition, there appeared
strong prospect that the Flanna-
gan-Hope proposal for a different
approach to the problem, through a
thorough study, might prevail.
The Senate parity revision, tackled
to the minimum wage bill, would
require the computation of farm
labor costs, including labor of the
farmer and his family, into the
parity formula.
Democrats Muster Strength.
The administration dispatched
urgent requests to absent Demo-
cratic Senators to return for de-
cisive votes expected early this
week on the bill.
But Senator Russell, Democrat.
OF Georgia, leader of the drive
to adopt the farm parity amend
ment, declared "It's in to stay" re-
gardless of any parliamentary
moves which may develop.
The return of absentees will not
work entirely in favor of the ad-
ministration. Several Western Re-
publicans who are said to favor the
new parity plan are due back over
the week end.
Adoption of the amendment, even
In the face of the veto threat, ap-
parently frightened the chances for
Senate approval of the proposed
new minimum industrial wage floor
OF IS cents (and ultimately rs cents)
an hour. The present minimum is
20 cents. Considerable backing still
was evident, however, for an alter
nate plan which would make the
new rate SIS cents, rising to so cents
after 18 months.

Wv awaiting delivery of the new Chevrolet
you have ordered from us, and we want to
pass on to you the latest information received
from the Chevrolet Motor Division, even
though that information isn't too encouraging
at this time.
1t is true that Chevrolet leads all other
manufacturers in total production of
passenger cars and trucks from January
through September 1916, despite the fact
that Chevrolet was out of production entirely
during the first three months of this year. 1t
is also true that Chevrolet has continued to
maintain its lead in total production during
the third quarter of 1916. And yet production
is still running far below desired levels, with
the result that Chevolet's output of cars and
trucks through September 1916 was only
1870 of the number produced during the
corresponding period of 1o41.
This means it may take many months for
the Chevrolet Motor Division to reach peak
