Rent and Sugar Curb,
Expected 10 Remain
# 0PA Is Liquidated
Measure Fixing June 30
As Dote for Closing
Goes to Conferees
By ]. A. OLeory

Continuation Of rent and
sugar controls in some form,
even if OPA is liquidated by June
80, appeared likely today as Con-
gress approached a showdown
stage on several fronts In the
battle over economy and tax re-
duction.
These events of the last "a hours
indicated that within a week i'm
portant decisions are likely on the
whole picture of Government in
come and outgo:
l. The Senate passed and sent to
conference with the House q $780,
100000 urgent deficiency bill, con-
tanning a June 80 death sentence
for the remnants of OPA and sev-
eral other wartime agencies grouped
under the Office of Temporary Con-
trolls
Tax Hearings Next Week.
2. House leaders announced hear
ings would start late next week on
tax reductions, but they said no
action would be taken until a
budget ceiling has been fixed.
3. House and Senate conferees
made tentative plans to meet to-
morrow on the budget ceiling, with
indications the House will put up a
strong fight for its $4,000, 900, 900
slash in President Truman's $37,-
500. 900 600 total for the next fiscal
year. The Senate is on record for
cutting only $4,500, ,000, 900 from ex-
penses, and for applying at least
81, 800 ,000, 900 of the savings to the
national debt.
Although Senate Democrats pre-
dicted the deficiency bill as passed
late yesterday will cripple OPA's re-
naming controls over rent, sugar
and rice even before June 80, Re-
publicans insisted OPA could be
liquidated without ending these
functions abruptly.
They pointed out that a Senate
Banking Subcommittee had just ap-
proved, to 2, bin authorizing a
general 10 per cent rent increase,
with enforcement of this limit left
to the courts. Separate legislation
also is in the works to turn sugar
rationing over to the Agriculture
Department.
Speed Is Issue.
The issue in the deficiency bill is
how fast OPA should liquidate. AS
the bill passed the House, officials
say, they would have to abandon
all remaining activities at once.
According to members of the Sem
ate Appropriations Committee this
would leave about $4,000 remaining
OPA employees throughout the
country without even terminal
leave pay.
Recognizing terminal leave pay as
a fixed obligation, the Senate al
lowed OPA approximately $1,000
900 more than the House to cover
terminal leave and other liquidat-
ing costs.
The Senate also wrote in an
amendment declaring the intent of
Congress" that OPA and several
other related agencies should close
down juno 80. The amendment
carried, So to 20.
Before the roll was called, Senate
President Vandenberg ruled that,
while the amendment was in order,
it would have no binding effect in
its present form. because it did not
state fatty that no funds could be

Pittsburgh, said:
"I think it's unfair. I hope II
doesn't result in a strike"
Senator Ball, member of the Sen
ate Labor Committee now consid-
ering various proposals to curt
unions, told a reporter:
II think this removes any need
for amending the Norris La Guardis
Act. But we still have got to dc
something about industry wide bar

try at the mercy OF industry wide
strikes. We still ihave got to dc
something, too, about the closed

Scattering Of Applause.
The Supreme Courts decision was
announced to the House by Repre-
sentative Brown, Republican, Of
Ohio. There was scattering OF
applause from both sides Of the
chamber.
Mr.. HaIleck said, "I do not believe
that the verdict Of the court will
affect the work Ct the House Labor
Committee tn any degree what
ever"
Other House members concurred
in that view.

mittee hearing today.
The House Post Office and Civil
Service Committee was questioning
department officials on proposed
postal rate increases to raise ap-
proximately $173 3.0oo, 900 during the
next fiscal year.
Chairman Rees announced he
would introduce in the House this
afternoon bill incorporating the
proposed rates.
This, he explained, would enable
the committee to begin full-scale
hearings next Thursday on spe-
cific bill.
Inter Party Row Develops.
Today's committee session began
as preliminary discussion of the
proposed rates disclosed last Tues
day at hearing before the Senate
Civil Service Committee. The ses-
sion ended, however, with a sharp
exchange between Republican men,
bers, who criticized Mr.. Hannegan's S
dual capacity" as Postmaster Gen.
eral and chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, and
Democratic members who defended
him.
Chairman Rees said he had in,
vited Mr.. Hannegan to testify but
had been informed the Postmaster
General has been Ill. The chair
man promised to renew the invita-
tion and call Mr. Hannegan as soon
as possible.

They also were ordered to pro-

ments to enable the committee to
determine whether the remainder of
the estimated deficit can be over

Chairman Rees declared that the
department can save at least is

personnel He noted that the pro-
posed rate increases will fall $114,-

deficit.
"Since we cannot look for rate in
creases alone to balance the de-
partment budget" he said, 1--WE must
also increase the efficiency Of postal
operation, eliminate waste and re-
wise the procedures to reduce costs
and still maintain the best possible
service.

"Since nearly 80 per cent of the
departments expenditures is for
personnel. we should expect to in

enable the department to make its
income equal to expenditures for

proved by Congress.
Mr.. Rees and other members Of
the committee, Democratic as well
as Republican, indicated by their
questions that they are not willing
to accept all the proposed rate in

DISCRIMINATORY ARMY ENLISTMENT POLICY SCORED BY NAACP

Washington, D. C.-Discrimi- natory requirements for the en- listment of Negroes in the U. s. Army were scored on February 24th by Jesse O. Dedmon, Secy. of Veterans Affairs, NAACP, in letter of protest to Assist ant Secretary of War Howard Ueterson. Such a policy, which would require Negro enlistees in the Regular Army to make a score of 99 per cent or higher on. the Army General Classifi- cation Tests, MT. Dedmon said is undemocratic. In his letter of protest, MT. Dedmon stated |:
 Tt has come to the attention of the NAACP that enlistment in the Regular army for Negro applicants of the Army of the United States requires that they have a recorded ACCT stand ard score of 99 or higher, if otherwise eligible and qualified for enlistment, without regard to Military Occupational Spe- cialty.
 "Some time ago, our organ ization wrote to the War Dept. protesting the use of any re- stricted basis for enlistment in

the Army of any personnel based on race or color. If the present policy of the War Dept. restricts Negro enlistments in the Regular Army to those who have an ACCT score of 99 or higher because of the fact that they are Negro, we believe such a policy to be discriminatory and undemocratic. We request that such a policy based on race be discontinued"

ROCHESTER POLICE
 PROMOTE CRIME WAVE

Rochester, N. Y.-The police of this city are promoting a little private crime wave of their own, and it seems to all center about the Negro popula- tion. At least the police rec ords do not seem to indicate any marked increase i'll bur- glaries or anything else.
 It seems though that some one does not like the fact that some additional Negroes moved into Rochester last summer from the South, and therefore permanent residence is being discouraged.
 James Young, one of the vic tims of this police zeal, is now lying in the hospital with bullet wound in his leg. The records show that this young man was allegedly arrested for vagrancy, though the police say they shot him as he was at tempting a robbery.
 Tn the February issue of "We", a news-magazine, the editor, John G. Corey, charged that "a crime wave has been launched by itinerant southern Negroes. These itinerant Ne groes that he speaks of ore those who were brought here to work in the canneries.
 The editor was even more pointed when he suggested that they be run out of town and added: "The police are willing, either that or use them as first class targets for pistol shoot ing" Thus far the police bull lets, "have been directed at the fleeing mans legs, but as one police officer said, I think the best method is to place a bullet in his head.
 With this kind of race agita- tion it was not strange, when James White, a white man called the police for action against two Negroes whom he claimed had robbed him of $40. But when pressed, he admitted that he had lost it gambling and long before he had seen either one of the Negroes he had accused.

Poverty dog ged his footsteps from the day he was born, and with it came a step-father and endless hours of drudgery. Little wonder why he ran away from home the day after graduation!

few customs that jar on the nerves as they did earlier ill life. This undoubtedly is par tially due to the fact that fewer experiences are really new.
 However, there are a few things that no matter how old you get or how many experi' ences you have, as often as these particulars show their un. graceful heads, you become of tended.
 I guess my particular area of vulnerability encompasses those things that make for bao manners. An inclination thai does not always come from igno rance of the correct procedure or the deliberate intention te be offensive. It too frequently comes out of carelessness or z misconception of what make. one appear worldly and sophis ticated.
 Some of this loose behavior seems to have swept into th' picture along with the adven of the Sloppy Joe" era. Al era in which our youth has triet its darndest to look as undress ed and indifferent as the law will allow.
 One of the crowning manifes tations of this era is the star ting number of young men ant boys who seemed to have forgot ten when and where they .ough to take off their hats. In fact they wear them indoors witt such impunity that one gets tn notion that we are rapidly de veloping a generation of mel who are in deathly horror O catching cold in their heads. am sure it is either that or tn fact that they are so impresset with their appearances witt their hats set at a rakish angl ] that they fear their remova will detract from their person alities.
 But irrespective of the reasol or the era, it still holds goo' that no young man or boy o good taste struts around in | doors with their hat on. Then the other even more dis tasteful trait is the too curren feeling among young peopl that liquor and fun are synony nous. That it is impossible t. enjoy oneself at a dance or par ty unless they become saturated with alcohol. Then when the. do, they lose all control an' are completely irresponsible a far their conduct is concerned Neither one of these unfor tunate attributes adds anythin. , to anyone's stature, in fact the. both detract from ones person ality and ability to be a con structive citizen.

 He had acquired some very dubious companions in his roamings, and his connections with them sent him to Leaven- worth penitentiary in 1921, convicted on a narcotics charge. While in prison he worked hard and became su- perintendent of the prison power plant. He also made friends with H. H. Bigelow, aristocratic industrialist, con- victed of income tax evasion.
 This friendship netted Ward a job that opened doors to sue. cess for him. Both men were paroled in 1924, and Ward started to work in Bigelow's multi-million dollar advertise ing novelty business. Bigelow taught him every phase of the industry, and, after 8 series of promotions won on sheer mer- it, Ward became vice presi- dent of the firm in 1881. 4
 When Bigelow was killed in an accident . few years later, Ward moved up to post of president and was made richer by $1, ,000, 900, bequeathed him by his friend and mentor.
