Unwarranted Attack Charged.
The board said it had reason to
expect future hearings will be equal
ly closed not only to the public but
even to representatives of the co-ops
seeking to defend their businesses. ;"
In the telegram to Mr.. Reece the
association asked: Has the Repub-
lican Party reversed its historical
position with regard to farmer CO.
operatives? Does this unwarranted
attack by the 'Ploeser committee on
the American farmer and his CO.
operatives represent the designed
policy of the Republican Party, and
is the committee operating with the
official approval of Republican Party

cent in the II months preceding

increased 40 per cent in the same

that it has been increasing annually

Britain 5 Transport
Nationalizing Bill
Near Final Approval
y Tie A..oeiei.d Press

LONDON, May q. The Labor
governments drive to nation
alize Britain's key industries
neared Its final goal today with
approval by the House Of Com
mons OF measure to bring un-
der public ownership all inland
transport ailroads, buses,
trucks. subways, streetcars and
canals.
The bin row goes to the House of
Lords. where heated opposition by
the overwhelming Conservative ma
5orfty expected. but rejection OF
the measure by the upper house
would force constitutional crisis
which might further restrict the al
ready limited powers OF the Lords.
II the House Of Lords attempt to
frustrate the BILL" Aneurin Bevan,
Laborite Minister Of Health, de-
clared, I'VE shall set their resistance
aside. Speaking of myself only, /
would set the House of Lords aside
anyway
Lords Can Delay Passage.
In the normal course, under Eng
Hsh law, an adverse vote by the
House Of Lords would serve only to
delay passage Of the transport bill,
and not to infiict final defeat.
1t was the sixth naturalization
measure sponsored by the govern
mefit III Its 81 niofths in office. The
government already has taken con-

dustry passed second reading in the
House OF Commons not long ago.
The house passed the 81 ,260 00O, 900
transport naturalization measure
without record vote last night after
rejecting-308 to 194-an opposition
motion by Conservative and Liberal
members to reject the bill-most
bitterly fought of all the nationah-
xation proposals.
Press For Approval.
o. B. S. Poole, Conservative
declared in concluding the opposi-
tion attack on the bill that if his
party ever took control of the gov
ernment again the measure certainly
would be repealed. The government
announced, however, that it would
press for approval in the house of
Lords by midsummer.
The Labor Party's naturalization
timetable calls for the government
to assume control of inland trans
port the first of next year.
Throughout the bills course
through the House of Commons the
opposition fought bitterly to beat it
or weaken It, but the government
invoked the "guillotine" Limitation

amendments last week.
