Trade Act Extension
For One Year As Is
Sought by Democrats

Democrats are preparing for a
Senate floor fight to extend the Re
ciprocal Trade Agreement Act for
one year without change, but the
odds appear to favor the Republican
proposal to give the Federal Tariff
Commission at least an advisory role
in recommending tariff changes to
the President.
BY a vote. of to S, the Senate
Finance Committee yesterday re-
ported out a bill knocking out the
House provision for congressional
veto over presidential tariff orders,
but giving the Tariff Commission a
voice in recommending rates.
Democrats believe they may pick
UP enough Republican votes on the
Senate floor to extend the law 'as
Is" before 1t expires Saturday. Some
COP strategists point out, however,
that even If this happens in the
Senate, the House would never
agree to an extension without any
changes.
Compromise Expected.
In any event, compromise In
conference Is likely to be the final
result The tariff issue is due to
reach the Senate floor as soon as
the draft bill passes.
Senators Lucas, Democrat, of Illi-
nois and George, Democrat, of
Georgia said they or their colleagues
will offer an amendment to extend
the act without change. They would
prefer three-year continuance, as
the administration does, but would
be satisfied with one veal.
Senator Lucas, the assistant mi
nority leader, predicted the motion
ft an "as is" extension will carry.
He said he looks for at least six
Republicans to back the move, which
he claimed has practically solid
Democratic support.
Republican Senator Smith of New
Jersey was the first to say he prob
ably will 90 along with the Demo-
Gratis.
Full-Scale Hearings Opposed.
Senator Smith criticized the COM
mittee bill section providing for
full-scale Tariff Commission hear
ings and investigations on each
commodity up for negotiation.
He said the principal of seeking
advice from the commission is a
good one. But he expressed the
Evening star., 1948-06-09

opinion the procedure planned would
take too long.
Meanwhile, House Republicans
indicated the Senate bill will not
run into any trouble when it gets
to conference, provided the Demo-
Gratis don't succeed in getting it
changed.
Chairman Knutson of the House
Ways and Means Committee called
the Senate measure satisfactory.
Representative Gearhart, Republi-
can, of California, author of the
House bill, predicted general ac-
! lceptance" of the Senate version.

plots whose synopsis leaves man

Nevertheless, it concerns an out
law gang which holds up bank and
then, idiotically, escapes by crossing
10 miles of salt flats. Dying not
only would have been better for
Peck and his five associates, but also

The price they-and you-pay for

Actor Peck, his chief lieutenant
Richard Widmark, and the other
four outlaws are not demonstrative
types, but they are quietly delighted
to come upon a girl so attractive as
Miss Baxter in a town so lacking
in a police force. Each begins to
make his private sinister plans, but
it turns out that Miss Baxter has
plans Of her own.
Hers have a natural moral Supe-
riority over any schemes OF the out
law sextet, but, even more impor-
tantly, they have the superiority
that she backs up her standards
with a rife and Six-gun marksman-
ship that is absolute perfection.
1t becomes instantly a question
which is going to shoulder, the
outlaws emotions or Miss Baxter's
arsenal of rifles and pistols. The
Peck gang, composed OF guileful
men, decide to play a waiting game
This was smarter on their part
than in the case of william Well
man who directed yellow Sky" It
slows down his picture not merely
to walk, but to series Of siestas
with the gangsters lying around a
mountain spring talking things over
while Miss Baxter sits at her window
armed to the teeth.
An effort is made to enliven this
stalemate in the aggregate court
ship by revealing to the bandits that
Miss Baxter and cramps have a
gold horde of $4,000 stashed away
under one of the million adjacent
rocks. Which rock is at least an
other question to add to the original
one Of which bandit, If any, will get
Miss Baxter.
These are expensive performers
running around in yellow Sky" but
their acting skill falls short of max
ing any one believe they are getting
their hearts into their work. The
blunt truth Is that, to a man and
Miss Baxter, they look like people
asking themselves. Can this be
happening to me?"
The only truly unsurpassed per-
former in the lot is Barton and,
after all his years as Jeeter Lester
in Tobacco Road" nothing in the
world ever could surprise him again.
He is a man enjoying himself,
which is more than you will be.

condensation of the actors breath

device was installed to bring the

Meanwhile, the weather actually
turned cold outside, and another
company, filming exteriors for THE

the breath of the players was Wis

ordered all the actors in the scene
