When the House meets tomorrow
the clerk will begin reading the
text Of the bill, and amendments
will be in order to each section as
it is read. Members may speak for
five minutes on each amendment.
and 1t may take until late Tuesday
to pass the measure.
If the Republicans, in control Of
both houses, are going to try to pass
any domestic price control measures
before the Christmas recess, they
will have to move promptly after
the interim foreign aid measure
goes to conference. Only two weeks
remain before the recess.
With a presidential election COM
ing up in 1948, the cost of living
could become the chief domestic
issue, unless effective means are
found to reverse the price and wage
trend before Congress adjourns for
the campaign next year.
By laying a definite, 10-point pro-
gram before Congress last month,
President Truman put the next move
up to the Republican leaders.
So Indication of Strategy.
Many observers believe that. for
the time being at least, Mr.. Tru-
man has the Republicans on the
Srof nv offerinp his ten.nnint ROM
edy, which includes a request for
standby authority to impose price
and wage controls on q selectiSe
basis.
Some Republican strategists con-
cede privately they could hand the
hot potato back to the President by
giving him the powers he asked
for on an optional basis. To do so,
however, they would have to re-
verse the stand they have taken
heretofore against wartime regi-
mentation in peace-time.
Thus far the COP managers have
given no indication they intend to
give the President rationing and
price-wsg &c control powers, although
some Of the other points in his pro-
gram may be enacted.
There is little time left for price
control debate before Christmas, but
it is foregone conclusion that the
fur will fly over this issue through
out the regular session starting in
January.

Max Hirsch, Jr., 80,

In Canal Near HiaIeah
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI. Fla. Dec. 6.-The body
of Max Hirsch. ir., 80, son Of the
famous horseman and himself
trainer, was found in his submerged
overturned automobile in the Red
Road Canal near Hialeah race track
today.
Deputy Sheriff Claude High OF the
Homicide Bureau said Mr.. Hirsch
was in the drivers seat, that the
hand brakes were set and all the
windows down. There were no
marks Of violence on the body, the
ofncer said, and Mr.. Hirsch is pre-
sumed to have drowned.
Mr.. High said marks on the rocky
road where the car went into the
canal extended a distance of eight
feet and did not indicate the car
was travelling at excessive speed. The
road shoulder at that point Is mar
row and soft, he said.
Watch Stopped at 2:10.
High considered two possibilities:
That Mr.. Hirsch fell asleep while
driving toward Hialeah, or that he
had stopped and set the hand
brakes, after which the embank-
ment gave way and the car toppled
into the canal. His watch had
stopped at 2:10.

houses finally agree on the full
S597 100000. the money still must
be appropriated in a separate de-
fciency bill. This means the whole
issue is likley to be threshed out
again in both Houses before the
Christmas recess.
There is a saving clause in the
interim aid bill, however, directing
the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
to make $150,O00,00O available to
get the, program started while the
is being acted on.
Although they will battle to pre-
vent further reduction of the
amount for the interim program,
some friends of the bill in the House
indicated yesterday they are more
worried over the possible adoption
of amendments that might hamper
of the food and other
types of help, then they are over
the prospect of another cut in the
funds.
Deficit Can Be Overcome.
They argue that Congress prob
ably will act one way or another on
the Marshall long-range European
recovery plan before the period of
interim aid expires in March. Their
line of reasoning is that if the Mar
shall Plan wins, any deficiency in
the temporary program can be made
up then.
On the other hand if Congress
is unwilling to follow through on
the policy of saving the remaining
free areas of Europe from Commu-
mist domination, by adopting the
Marshall Plan, these members say
1t will make little difference whether
the full amount of S597 100000 is
