Legislative Jam Cancels
Senate's Easter Recess
BY me Assoeiotsd Press

There will be no Easter recess for
the Senate because too much busi-
ness has piled up, including OPA ex-
tension, the British loan, selectivs
service extension, veterans housing
legislation, appropriation bills.
Breaking the news to the chamber,
Majority Leader Barkley said yes
terday the backlog for the next
month or six weeks was so great that
an Easter recess, such as has been
discussed, would be "indefensible
and inexcusable."
Senator Barkley said he did hope
the Senate could finish up it's work
in July and adjourn until next jan
uary, subject to the Presidents call.
House leaders still are hopeful of
an informal spring recess lasting
from about April 1S to the end of the
month.

0PA Backers Hopeful
House Vote Will Keep
Price Controls Alive
BY the Associated Press

Congressional battlers for keep
ing price controls alive were more
optimistic today as OPA came
through the first House Banking
Committee voting with fewer
wounds than some had expected.
Representative Monroney, Demo-
crate, of Oklahoma, who said ear
lier 1T looks like OPA will be
amended to DEATH" told newsmen,
Il believe now OPA will be con-
tinued in a shape that will work" I"
But the administration has yet
to weather a battle royal on the
House floor, where opposition may
be stronger than in the committee
Block Clothing Program.
The banking group voted yester-
day, II to II. to repeal OPAs pro-
gram requiring manufacturers to
make loW-cost clothing, effective
July l. 1t also approved plan for
the gradual lifting of price controls
as supplies of scarce items come
into balance with demand.
Today the committee, meeting be-
hind closed doors, turned to amend
ments proposing to set up formula
for closing out subsidy programs.
The administration currently is ask
ing Congress for $2,051 600, 900 to
continue these premium payments,
particularly on food. Their design
is to keep retail prices down even as
production costs rise.
Another decision the committee
still must make is whether to recon-
mend the full year extension of OPA
asked by the administration or a
nine-month lease on life as pro-
posed by Representative Wolcott, of
Michigan, ranking Republican men,
ber.

District Disease Bill
Redrafted 10 Insure
Child Segregation

Inc DISTRICTS communicable dis
ease bill, drafted to insure isolation
Of contagious cases, was undergoing
revision today to meet an objection
that it would throw children with
common street walkers"
The House District Committee de-
layed action on the bill yesterday
when Representative O'Hara, Re-
publican, Of Minnesota, complained
it does not provide for segregation
OF children from adults.
The bill gives the District Com
missioners specific authority to de-
fine communicable diseases and to
commit infected persons to institu-
tions under its jurisdiction. DR..
George c. Rutland, District health
officer insisted that current hospital
practice would prevent the mingling
Of children and adults.
Opposition on the ground the bill
would violate civil rights" came
from Gordon Atherholt, representing
the Macarthur Boulevard Citizens
Association. He complained of a
provision permitting health officers
to inspect private premises "at any
time Of the day or night
No Daylight Saving Bill Offered.
Daylight saving time for the Dis
trict was advocated before the COM
mittee as q measure to conserve
food and opposed as a measure to
create confusion in Congress and
neighboring States.
Residents of Maryland and vir-
ginia working in the District would
eat on one time and work on an
other" observed Representative
Beall, Republican, of Maryland. 1t
would even put Congress and the
District on different time, added
Representative Smith, Democrat. of
Virginia.
David Whatley, attorney, urged
daylight saving to give Victory
gardeners more light in the evening
to cultivate their crops, but the dis
cussion was cut of when the COM
mittee discovered that no bill has
been introduced.
A bill to establish three platoon
system in the Fire Department was
held up for lack of funds pending
q report by Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West on the Districts tax
problems and financial difficulties.
Although unanimously favoring the
bill to reduce the hours of firemen
and permit employment of more vet
Grams, q subcommittee headed by
Representative Hebert, Democrat, of
Louisiana, agreed that passage of
the bill would put the District in
"hole" for there is no money to
finance it.
Tower Protest Hearing Delayed.
The committee voted to put on the
calendar bill that would exempt
the American Red Cross from Dis
trlct inheritance taxes as soon as it
is amended so that the District will
not be authorized to refund any
taxes already paid unless they were
paid under duress.
A meeting to hear protests against
erection of television tower near
Fortieth and Brandywine streets
NV, originally scheduled for today,
will be held tomorrow. Committee
members hoped to get to bill au-
thorizing the District to continue
child care centers after July by
this afternoon, although considera-
ton may be delayed by an executive
session to hear the Commissioners
and members of the Board of Public
Welfare report on conditions at the
District Jail.

ma before the committee when he
came forward with his "decontrol"
amendment. Approved by a 20-to-3
vote, it takes away from OPA major
authority to decide when to take
price ceilings off individual items
and puts this responsibility souarely
in the lap of President Truman.
The administration had feared
the committee might approve a
much harsher amendment But the
committee rejected, Is to 9, the pro-
posal by Mr. Wolcott to give indus
try advisory groups rather than
Government officials larger voice in
determining when various ceilings
should be lifted.
Mr.. Wolcott served notice he
would continue his fight for a
stronger" decontrol formula when
the bill reaches the House floor.
Representative Sundstrom, Re-
publican, OF New Jersey offered the
amendment to scrap OPA's author
ity to require manufacturers to pro-
duce specific amounts of low-cost
clothing. This authority is con-
tanned in the agency's maximum
average price regulation, known as
MAP"
Cites Materials Scarcity.
The New Jersey member argued
that large number of manufac-
turers are unable to get low-cost
materials and said the MAP order
actually thwarts their production by
prohibiting them from marketing
higher cost garments. He said re-
peal of MAP would result in larger
output of clothing.
The committee adopted a second
q m n d m mt by Representative
Brown which requires OPA, in de-
termining ceiling price on cotton
and wool cloth, to take into account
the actual price of the raw cotton or
wool or the parity price, whichever
Is highest.
Mr.. Brown said OPA now figures
only parity for raw cotton in COM
putting cloth prices, while cotton is
selling considerably above parity.
He told newsmen his amendment
would result in no appreciable in
crease in cloth prices and would
bring out larger production.
1t was not Immediately apparent
what effect OPA's action last night
in ordering higher cotton margins
would have on the committees de-
cisions. Cotton State lawmakers
have been harshly critical of the
move.
