Price Control Plea
Would Be Rejected,
Six Senator'S Declare
BY the Associated Press

Six Senators expressed the
opinion today that any formal
appeals to Congress for resump-
ton of price controls. will fall
fiat.
Three Republicans and three Dem
ocrats told a reporter in separate
interviews they doubt first that a
new system of ceilings would work
and second that Congress would ap-
prove one.
My present feeling is that any
price controls must be linked with
wage controls and profits controls.
said Senator Flanders, Republican,
Of Vermcnt. I'm incliped to think
that's too big mouthful for the
American public to swallow in peace
time"
Senator Flanders gave his views
as he called together Senate
House subcommittee to plan hear
ing schedule for the Eastern part of
the Nation as part of broad con-
gressional investigation of prices.
OMahoney Agrees.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming, who will participate in
the price investigation, agreed Con-
gress would be reluctant to re-
impose controls. However, he said
business management has the al
tentative of either reducing prices
so as to prevent the continued rise
in the cost of living or come face
to face with an irresistible demand
for Government action"
Senator Ball, Republican, of Min
nesota described talk about return
ing to wartime price ceiling as
silly"
The only possible way to have
effective price control is with 100 per
cent of the public favoring it in be-
half of winning war" Senator Ball
said. IF some Government bureau
can tell you to make and sell your
product at a certain price it has the
power of life and death over your
business"
Senator Sparkman, Democrat, of
Alabama, another member of the
price investigation group, said he
doubts that the Nation would be
able to resume price controls now
ITO get any good out of it we
would have to roll back prices and
we've gone too far now to do that,
he said. But if we don't stop price
increases through some voluntary
plan then we are certain to develop
large buyer resistance by con-
sumers."
Martin Backs Free Enterprise.
Senator Martin, Republican, OF
Pennsylvania, who heads Senate
inquiry into the steel shortage, de-
clared he hopes that 1T never is
necessary to have price control in
peacetime because it destroys one
Of the American principles of free
enterprise
Senator Johnston. Democrat, OF
South Carolina said he does not ex-
pect a resumption of price con-
trolls, "but it may be advisable to
do something to protect the salaried
man-if prices keep on skyrocket-
ing something will have to be done ,
Senator Flanders said he had
asked the Price Investigating Sub
committee to meet here today "tc
talk over our plans and put all oul
ideas in one pot
The group will open hearings next
Monday at Providence, r. l., with
special attention to food prices, and
then move to Boston for three days
of hearings.

in higher prices for meat, and adding
up to more money in the pockets OF
the corn farmers.
The corn farmers, who this year
will harvest only 235, ,l89 900 bushels
less than the harvest average for the
last 10 years, owe much to Henry A.
Wallace. AS premature scientist"
of 16, Mr.. Wallace began at the turn
of the century experiments that
later were to lead to the develop
ment of hybrid varieties highly suit
able to the Midwest.
Other scientists took up the task
of hybrid development, and varieties
have now been perfected to fit al
most every growing condition. Yields
have been pushed upward through
the use of hybrid varieties. until last
year In Mr.. Wallace's home State
of Iowa, where 100 per cent of the
corn planted is hybrid, the yield had
risen from 40 to 60 bushels per acre.
Normal Yield for Old Types.
In most instances, then. the dam
age to the crop this year represents
roughly the difference in yields be-
tween the old open pollinated and
the hybrid varieties, or normal
yield If the old varieties had been
used and growing conditions normal.
In addition to the higher yields
of hybrids, estimated at about 20
per cent, these new varieties of1er
other advantages. Many mature
more rapidly, thus lessening the
danger of damage by early frosts,
while all hybrids are better able to
withstand adverse growing condi-
tions than open pollinated varieties.
Coupled with the use of hybrid
seed, machinery came to the aid OF
the Midwest farmers. Without mod
ern tractors and planting machinery
much of the corn could not have
been planted until 1t was too late
for even a hope of crop. In ad-
dition. agricultural engineers are
now at work on drying machines
that may help save the crop in the
event of an early frost and wet
harvest.
These estimates will indicate the
part played by machinery in the
present corn crisis.
Machinery Raises Output.
Agricultural engineers say that
with a tractor and power equip
ment three acres of land can be
prepared and planted to corn dur

ing the time that one acre Is planted
with work animals.
If the tractor is put on a "a
hour schedule, not possible with ami
NAL power, then the preparation
and planting job can be done seven
times as fast as with animals.
This means that farmers who were

Aside from the planting ma

assistance of farmers in the event
early frosts result in immature OF
wet corn being harvested.
Portable drying machines that
have been perfected this summer
will be placed throughout the corn
belt during the fall as part of an
experiment to develop practical dry
ing machinery for corn farmers.
The Agriculture Department will
receive bids on Monday for the man.
ufacture of 10 of these machines
They will be placed in the corn belt
where demonstrations will be held
this winter.
Agricultural engineers explained
that several small firms now pro-
duce corn drying machines that sell
for less than $500. The newly
designed machines represent i'm
provements on these, engineers
said, and it is expected that manu-
facturers will adopt improved fea-
lures.
The new machines probably will
cost more than the present ones
but should sell at less than $1,000.
Machinery to speed the harvest
ing operations also may be expected
to enter into the crop picture this
fall. Corn pickers, now widely used
throughout the corn belt. do the
job more quickly and with less labor
than was possible few years ago.
1t will be hard to convince the
Midwestern corn farmer, when he
looks at this years prices and last
years yields, that he isn't hurt.
But he illustrates how science. In
perfecting hew crop varieties and
designing better machinery, is max
ing meaningless that old saw

Bender Hits British Action
As Outrage Against Jews
BY the Associated Press
Representative Bender, Republi-

unloading of 4,311 Jews In Ger.
many by the British as IAN outrage
against the Jewish people which is
in the worst traditions of Hitler"
In separate statement. Repre-
sentative SABBATH, Democrat. of Illi-
nois, asked President Truman to
deny further economic aid to Eng
land until it accepts recommenda-
ton by the United Nations Commit
tee on Palestine for admission OF
at least 100000 Jewish refugees to
the Holy Land.
Mr.. Bender, too, declared the
United States should announce
positive support for the recommen-
dations of the U. N. Committee.
The Ohioan said that instead of
telling the British to "get out and
stay out of Palestine" the admin
istration has failed to condemn one
OF the greatest outrages Of British
imperialism because we are married
to that imperialism"
Mr.. SABBATH wrote to President
Truman:
The incredible, outrageous. and
inhumane treatment of Jewish refu-
gees returned by the British from
Palestine has aroused the horror
and condemnation of the civilized
world.
British Army brutality. not only
countenanced but ordered by high
authority, has served to focus the

No Bonds For Carver, No Vote

On the front page of this issue account of the meet
ing of the Sahuaro Club which addressed by three
prominent colored citizens all of whom thoroughly
quanted with the issues involved discussed the proposed
School Bond ISSUE
There dissent among them and this should
be when coored citizens face issue which involves the
entire group most seriously.
Other people will not always include the Negro citizens
in their planning and Negro citizens will frequently not
even be considered unless they smart enough to look
out for themselves and say at the polls in uncertain
terms that they will not endorse with their votes matter
IN which their interests have been overlooked.
Carver High School is all that the Negroes of Phoenix
have high school and probably all they will have for
some time to unless Phoenix becomes enght
ened and more Christian community. Then why should
powerful business interests in city backed up by Phoe
nix Newspapers attempt to put 100000 worth of bonds
on the tax white and coored for auditorium
mittedy beyond the needs of that school to which
be built when Carver has that is neither good
ditorum nor good gym?
The Sun hastens to say however, that if the group
attempted the coored vote for the bond issue
making an offer of building at Carver and they do not
want our vote that badly would still not be in favor
the bonds in view of the total needs of the school system
as pointed out by capable and farsghted school
board.
