agreements with the union.
Union officials said between $50
and 400 gas stations would be
supplied with so to 10 per cent of
the city's normal gasoline needs.
However, none would be hauled to
service stations affiliated with
major companies which have re-
jected the unions demand Of a
171a-cent-an-hour wage boost.
The plan also provides the gaso-
line would not be supplied by the
major oil companies.

gas shortage affecting hundreds
of thousands of motorists fol-
lowed yesterdays meeting between
union officials and representatives
of major oil firms. The session

ment.

asking the 171a-cent hourly boost
over the present $1.771a scale for
40 hours. with Saturdays and
Sundays to continue as overtime
days. The oil companies have
offered a boost Of ~ cents an
hour.

ment concern alleged atrocities

Truman Advisers Spill
On Farm Legislation;
Hearing Continues
BY the kssociotsd Press

President Truman's advisers on
what's best for the farmers-espe-
cially next year-appeared to be
pushing in several different direc-
tions today.
Mr.. Truman's No. l Senate lieu
tenant. Majority Leader Lucas.
looked the field over and told .
reporter he probably could sup
port q compromise flexible price
support bill although lit contains
some features I do not like and
would not vote for"
Senator Lucas also passed out
a warning against the Govern
ment going too far in holding up
farm prices. Unless Congress
slows down. he said. people will
be so bitter that we'll break the
whole Federal farm program
down."
Anderson Optimistic.
The compromise was worked
out by Senator Anderson. Demo-
crat, of New Mexico. who used
to be Mr.. Truman's Secretary OF
Agriculture, and q Senate .Agri-
culture Subcommittee Of both
Democrats and Republicans.
Senator Anderson, In q sep
arate interview. said:
"I still believe that eventually
something very similar to or iden-
tical with the bill our subcom-
n1ittee' worked out will fipally be
reported to the Senate IT,
full committee. s.a-aAA.ssss.s ssa
Chairman Elmer Thomas OF
that committee has q different
idea.
& Senator Thomas today anyited
spokesmen for major fann or
ganizations-the Farm Bureau.
the Grange and the Farmers
Union-to tell the Farm Legisla-
tive Committee what they thought
of the Anderson compromise.
For himself, Senator Thomas
says there is no chance Congress
will approve" the Anderson COM
promise.
Thomas Favors House Plan.
He wants the Senate to go along
with a use-passed plan for an
other one-year extension OF the
rigid. high-level. wartime price
supports.
All of this appears to leave Sec
retary of Agriculture Brannan out
in the cold as far as Congress Is
concerned about Mr.. Brannan's
subsidy plan aimed to please both
consumers and farmers.
He suggested that market prices
of some perishable farm products.
such as meats, fruits and vege-
tables, be allowed to reach their
own levels without present Gov-
eminent price props. II farmers
need help on income, Mr.. Brannan
said they should get production
payments from the Treasury.
Unless the Senate and House
reach agreement on some kind Of
legislation this year, a delayed
action farm compromise of the
1948 Republican-controlled Con-
gress goes into operation.
It is a long-range flexible price
support program sponsored by
Senator Aiken, Republican, Of
Vermont with bipartisan Senate
support.

Less Costly Wedding!
Urged by Priest 10
Aid Young Couples

Simpler wedding ceremonies to
save money for young couples
were urged today by the Rev. Ed
ward Bowling. S. j.. Of st. Louis.
Father Dowling told a session
of the summer school of Catholic
Action at Georgetown University
the cost Of modern weddings has
become so great that many newly
weds are getting of to bad start.
Simpler ceremonies. he said,
would mot only be better econom-
ically. but in the long run more
fashionable"
He said the factors making the
present wedding day "a grim oc-
casion for many couples" include
the cost Of wedding rings. cost of
the weddings themselves and cost
Of lavish honeymoons.
Suggests Renting Of Ring.
The priest suggested that one
way of cutting down these early
costs might be the rental Of en-
gagement rings. with the ring
being returned to the renter after
the wedding.
Meanwhile, q Catholic priest
who writes a comic book type of
cartoon on the life Of Christ, told
the session he believes the Super
man variety Of comic Is giving
children a wrong concept of life.
"Superman and that type Of
comic has q totalitarian concept
Of . superhero without allegiance
to anybody" the Rev. Robert E.
Southard. s. j., associste editor OF
The Queens Work and Action Now,
church publications, charged. 1T
is q perfect picture Of tota1itarian-
ism. He is a hero who does what
he wants without responsibility to
any one"
,,.:,,,sCondempsI Only Distortion.
rather southard noted that
comics lessen q child's sense of
responsibility and desire for
achievement" and make educa-
ton without pictures difiinlt for
them.
The priest said he was con-
demning only those comics which
gave an unrealistic and dis
torted picture of life. He urged
courses in the schools teaching
students how Ito have fun"
through hobbies and other in
tereSts.
Other subjects to be studied at
the summer action school include
communism and social questions.
The school, which opened yes
terday and will continue through
Friday. is sponsored by the CEN
trail Office Of the Sodality of st.
Louis, q lay organization.
