Day-Care Bill Passes
Senate, but Truman S
Action Is Uncertain
Welfare Bourd Made
Responsible for Center
In HeoIy Measure

The Senate unanimously
adopted the Healy bill for con-
tinuation of day-care centers for
children of working mothers,
and sent it to the White House.
where it faces uncertain action
by the President.
Steered through the Senate by
Acting Chairman Hoey of the SEN
ate District Committee, the confer
ence report was agreed to late yes
terday by the House. Opposed by
the Commissioners, the bill places
on the Board of Public Welfare
responsibility it sought to avoid.
Different versions of the Healy
bill had been adopted by the House
and Senate. After Senate conferees
were named yesterday at the re-
quest of Senator Hoey, two addi-
tional steps were promptly taken.
First, the House and Senate con-
ference committee met and agreed
to recommend adoption of the
Senate amendments. These then
were called up in the House at the
end of yesterdays session and
adopted by unanimous consent, at
the suggestion of Representative
Healy, Democrat, of California.
The House bill, as first adopted,
made the child care centers, without
specific limit as to number, an in
tegral part of the public school
system, under a limit of cost of
$50,000 annually
The Senate bill shifted the opera
ton responsibility from the Board
of Education to the Board of Public
Welfare-the latter saying it did not
want it, placed limit of IA on
the number of centers, limited ad-
missions to children of employed
persons who have been resident in
the District for at least one year
and who are unable otherwise to
provide day care for their children,
and specified that the continuation
of the centers under this legislation
be only for one year.
Mr.. Healy made clear to other
conferees he had agreed to the Sem
ate version for fear that otherwise
the measure would fail of enact
ment in the closing days of this
Congress.
In addition to-, Mr.. Healy- the
House managers of the bill were
Chairman Mcmillan of the House
District Committee and Represen-
tative Beall, Republican, of Mary
land. Senate conferees were Sena-
tors Hoey of North Carolina and
Huffman of Ohio, Democrats, and
Smith, Republican, of New Jersey.

The first shipments of butter to
reach New York and Boston markets
since OPA's end were released today
to retail 13 to Is cents above the
OPA ceiling. The Government sub
sidy on butter was Is cents pound.
Meat prices were up in many areas

Nation S Milk Industry
Asked by Anderson
To Keep 0PA Price
Agriculture Secretary
Urges Line Be Held
Despite Subsidy Loss
MILK NOW UP 3 cents a quart in
D. c. Page B-1
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son asked the Nations dairy in
dustry today to maintain milk
prices at levels which were in
effect under OPA until the ques-
ton of future price control and
subsidies is settled.
This appeal was made in a tele-
gram to Paul Smith, chairman of
the New York Milkshed Dairy Com
mittee.
Mr.. Smith had asked Mr.. Ander-
son, whether, in view of suspension
of dairy subsidies July l, it was pos
sible under provisions of a Federal
milk order regulating the marketing
of milk in the New York area, to
assure dairymen returns equal to
those they received under OPA
prices and subsidies.
Recalling that the Government
price had promised to maintain the
general level or returns" to milk
producers at the 1945 level, Mr.. An
derson said that, lin the continuing
absence of price controls and sub
sides, the New York milkshed would
be justified in increasing prices to
an amount sufficient to offset any
loss in subsidies"
Thrnn Cant
Mr.. Anderson said the dairy in
dustry has estimated a price increase
OF 3 cents a quart would be neces-
sary in the New York area to off
set loss of subsidies.
The Secretary stated. however.
that President Truman has appealed
to all groups to keep prices in line
until Congress can take action on
the price control issue.
The Agriculture Department" :"
Mr.. Anderson said, strongly sup
ports that appeal as of particular
Importance and urgency in view of
the fact an immediate increase of
consumers prices in your area has
been estimated by the industry as
high as 3 cents a quart"
All Markets Included.
In releasing copies of the tele-
gram, aides said Mr.. Anderson's ap-
peal applied not only to New York
but all other marketing areas, in
cluding Washington.
| Mr.. Anderson said he hopes that
congressional action if taken, will
include subsidy provisions designed
to permit orderly liquidation OF
subsidies without shock to producers
and consumers.
Aides said Mr.. Anderson had In
mind tapering off of dairy sub
sides by next March with their
complete elimination by May /.
They said in areas where milk
prices are not increased now, it may
be possible to make subsidies retro
active to July l, providing, of course
congressional action would permit it

Legislator Protested
Shifting Of Job,
Gen. Porter Testifies
By Carter Brooke Jones

Maj. Gen. William N. Porter,
retired, wartime chief of the
Chemical Warfare Service, was
asked today before the Senate
War Investigating Committee
what he meant by telling an
other officer late in 1914 that
Chairman May of the House Mil
itary Affairs Committee had
strange ideas" and sometimes
makes trouble"
Gen. Porter said he did not re-
member what he meant, but Ger
tainly nothing sinister" He added:
Probably it was simply because
he was calling up about war con-
tracts and that made trouble. 7
didn't like to be called up
Intervention Reported.
Gen. Porter testified that Repre-
sentative May thrice intervened
with the Army on behalf of an Iii
nols munitions combine whose war
profits are under investigation.
Gen. Porter told the committee
that Mr.. May phoned him late in
1914 to protest cancellation of a
powder drum war contract held by
the Batavia Metal Products, Inc,
of Batavia, Ill, one of the closely
linked 10 corporations which Chair
man Mead has criticized for war
profteering."
Committee Counsel George Mea-
der promptly produced partial
transcript of that telephone con-
Versation, which Gen. Porter then
read into the record.
Letter From Colonel Read.
In it Mr.. May began by reading
letter from Col. R. A. TetloW,
chief of the facilities and inspection
group in Chemical Warfare Service,
which referred to cancellation of the
Batavia contract and transfer of it's
work to new producers"
i think that's crazy stuff" Mr.,
May was quoted as saying.
The transcript recorded Mr.. MAYS
request that Gen. Porter imme-
diately get in touch with Col. Tet-
low and with DR.. Henry Carson.
who has been described by Army
ofhcers as the brains" behind the
swift wartime development of the
combine.
| In asking Gen. Porter to contact
! Col. Tetlow. Mr. May declared:
! And stop him running Wild
/ Gen. Porter agreed, the transcript
noted. Gen. Porter acknowledged
that he had gotten in touch with
both DR.. Carson and Col. Tetlow.
You knew who Mr.. May was.
didn't you?' inquired Senator Fer
guson. Republican, of Michigan.
General Says He Listened.
Yes replied Mr. Porter. Then
he added that he dealt with the case
strictly on it's merits.
His Mays influence didn't hurt
any, did it?" asked Senator Fer
guson.
I listened whenever the chair
man OF the House Military Commit
tee called me, you bet," replied Gen.
Porter.
Gen. Porter did not immediately
specify the other occasions on which
he said Mr.. May intervened How
ever, it previously had been dis
closed by the transcript of a tele-
phone conversation on May l, l943.
that Mr.. May had interceded to get
Army business for his good friends"
in the combine.
At another point in one of the
conversations, Gen. Porter said that
| May is on our necks."
IF he simply was interested legit-
lmately in expediting war contracts"
