OPACoIIec FoScistic

Washington, April -T - (UP) n Sen. Joseph H. Ball, (R., Minn: today denounced the Ofiice of Pric Administration as the most m portant single collection of Amel Ican Fascists we've got"
 Ball, frequently an Administra tion supporter when most othq Republicans line up in the opposis tion, said he probably would vott for all of the amendments wlIicr OPA officials contend would cripple the agency. ..
 He called the OPA Fascist be cause they don't believe in free dom.' He charged that OPA ha' sought to impose its control on tlss economy of the country instead oi regulating prices of scarce items z prevent runaway imitation.
 If we could confine OPA con trols to rents and a few commodi ties that are short in supply-afl' write standards that would pt vent them from squeezing the T out of American business-then probably vote for it's extension" ba said.

Farmers See
 Gradual End ToOPALids

Washington. April 27 (UP) - Farm state Senators are preparing an O.P.A. amendment to force the end of price controls on each com- modity as soon as supply equals demand, 1t was learned today.
 This So-called "escalator clause" won strong farm bloc support af- ter being suggested by Sen. Rich ard Russell, (D.-Ga.).
 The legislators from agricultural states also were preparing, at closed- door meetings, a list of commodi- ties which they said should be exempted from price controls im- mediately. These included milk, fish, oil, poultry and possibly corn.
 Bill Already HObbhng
 The amendment will be offered when the Senate takes up the O. P. A. extension bill which the House passed after hobbling 1t with amendments. Administration spokes. men said the House bill virtually would kill price control.
 Russell doubted the Senate would approve the House-passed provision requiring O.P.A. to permit each re- taller or handler to make cost plus reasonable profit on every item sold. But he was confident of Senate approval for the more mod crate "escalator" provision.
 There Is no excuse for controls where the supply and demand meet" Russell said.
 Thomas Proposal Loses
 Lifting price controls on an "es- calator' basis, he said would end restrictions on vast segments of the economy, and give private en- terprise fits head and incentive" to produce plenty with the knowl- edge that its products would be sold in a free, competitive market.
 Apparent development of senti- cent for the "escalator" formula indicated that the farm bloc had little hope Of winning passage os an amendment proposed by Sen. Elmer Thomas, (D.-Okla.). It would lift controls on virtually everything except rents and alco- holic beverages.
 Sen. Francis J. Meyers, (D.-PaD, :, asserted in statement that he would vote against any effort to cripple price control at the ex- penSe of the consuming public"

BiIbo Rops  Analysis

Washington, April T -- (QP) = Sen. Theodore c. Bilbo, (D., MfEs) took time out from the British lorn debate today to denounce Lifs Magazine as "a pink, n1ongrel mag azine." He said the Community Party ought to send its publisher, Henry R. Luce, "a fat check for services rendered" in the puhlica- tion's recent analysis of Senators up for reelection.
 Life's analysis of Bilbo went as' follows;
 "Bibo of Mississippi, Democrat has been sent to jail. discredited aS complainant in @ bribery scandal, voted by his own colleagues in the Mississippi state legislature unfit to sit with honest, upright men in a respectable legislative body and get retains popularity among the inde- pendent farmers. The reason: ne plays on their prejudices about Wal Street, Negroes, the North.
 His recent activity has been ops position to FEPC. He got himself Q furry of publicity by writing a wof man with an Italian name in Brook lyn. My Dear Dago' Said Senator Taft: He is disgrace to the Sem ate.' Opinion: Worst man in the Senate"
 Bilbo told packed galleries and some 20 of his Senate colleagues that the whole article was "a plan to smear this great body of United States Senators :. . by Claraoelie Luce, Connecticut'S Republican dar- ling, more properly called flckle ana capricious Clara" He referred te Rep. Clare Boothe Luce, (R., Conri.1 wife of the publisher
