with the bulging scrapbooks of
mementoes sent him by the Sen
ators and Representatives whom
he had served so long.
But even after his retirement
Mr.. Parker continued to show UP
at the House on special events.
II has my pension, but I also
has my duty" he had explained
at the time.
Born In Mount Vernon.
In 1910, however, "the misery
in his back" kept him from at
tending his 68th consecutive open
ing Of Congress. BY 1943, both
|of his legs had been amputated
because Of gangrene induced by
diabetes.
"Old Harry" was born at Mount
Vernon where his father was a
guard at Washington's Tomb for
81 years. His paternal grand
father had been a body servant to
the first President.
Old Harry was never sure of his
age. but he thought he had come
to the Capitol on a milk wagon
when he was about IL. He missed
mis- ride home and stayed, soon
developing himself a shoe shine
business on the Hill.
One day young William McKin-
ley-then a Representative-got
him a job with the House Ways
and Means Committee. After he
became doorman over the room
where tariff bills were written in
secrecy, he served under famous
tariff-makers such as Nelson
Dingley. Gen. Joe Wheeler, VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, Robert M.
La Toilette, Claude Kitchin. Ogden
Mills and many others, all Of
whom affectionately called him
Harry"
Stayed Out Of Politics.
When the House put Mr.. Parker
on a pension they assured him
that he didn't have to 60. And
he didn't. His duty, as he saw it,
was to put on his slick black coat,
his yellow satin tie, his starched
shirt and striped pants and hot
foot it to the Capitol.
One southern Representative
once described him as zone Of
Gods great gentlemen"
Harry had no politics.
Some folks" he once said.
"likes coffee. Some likes iced tea.
1t amt for me to decide which is
best"
A deeply religious man, "Old
Harry" was an active member of
the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church
and once sang tenor in the choir.
One Of the things he guarded most
in the committee room was a
Bible that william Mckinley and
William Jennings Bryan were
fond Of discussing and debating
during their leisure moments.

Western European defense will

Johnston Reported
Seeking New Powers
To CurtaiI Initiation
BY the Associated Press

Economic StabiliZer Eric John
ston wants Sizable kit of new
anti-inflation powers, including
several changes in pricing provi-
sions of the Defense Production
Act, informed officials said today.
Although Mr.. Johnston believes
the basic remedy is to reduce
buying demand through higher
taxes and sitter credit control, he
has sent a sheaf of recommended
tionS on price and black-market
control to Charles E. Wilson, mo-
bilization director.
Some are expected to show up
in a presidential message TO Con-
greSs next month on extension of
the mobilization law due to expire
June 30.
FOur-Point Proposal.
Because the final decision be-
longs to President Truman, Mr.
Johnston has not made his views
public. But informed officials said
lit is safe to assume" he has re-
IqueSted these changes:
/. Revision of the parity provi-
sions which restrict food price
control.
2. Some Federal subsidies to alb
Sorb cost increases.
3. Broader power to license in
dustries as meat slaughterers are
now licensed.
4. A years extension of rent
control, written into the Mobiliza-
ton Act.
Mr.. Johnston was in Key West
today, conferring with Mr.. Tru-
man on the wage control dispute.
! That Mr.. Truman considers the
labor situation serious was evident
in his sudden call for Mr.. John
ston to fly to Florida yesterday.
The ESA chief paid haSty visit
to Mr.. Wilson, then caught a
plane.
This strengthened reports that
Mr.. Truman soon may set up
new 18-member wage board even
though labor and management
have not agreed on the central
isSue-Whether the board should
have power to settle all disputes,
as labor desires; or stick to wage
and other money questions only.
Industry Opposes Plan.
If the President does act. he
is expected to follow the compro-
mise proposed by Mr.. Johnston.
This would authorize the board
to handle three types of disputes
those arising under its own orders,
mainly wage and money issues;
those which unions and manage
ment might agree voluntarily to-
submit for decision: and any dis
putes the President certifieS as
being threats to the defense pro-
| gram.
Organized labor has not accept
ed the plan, although some lead
ers are said to favor it unofficial
ly. Industry spokesmen have de-
clared their opposition.
| Meanwhile, nine AFL unions in
the service and trade industries
yesterday charged WSB with "!n-
difference and neglect" toward Is
million workers who have been
exempted from the Fair Labor
Standards Act. The unions said
their pay is below the 75-cent
hourly minimum.
The conference indorsed a pro-
posal for a definite wage mini
mum-preferably 81 an hour
which could be allowed without
prior board approval or without
reference to other wage formulas.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Guarded by
a couple of policemen who have
orders to follow him everywhere
but onto the greens, Lloyd Man
grum has been made the favorite
to win Tam o'Shanter All-Amer-
ican golf honors.
1t could all be a publicity stunt,
but Mangrum insists he still has
that anonymous telephone threat
at st. Paul ringing in his ears.
Some one told him last week end
not to win the st. Paul Open or
he might be carried out of town.
But he won.
Then he hurried to Chicago
where his boss, George S. May.
the Tam president threatened
with Federal indictment on slot
machine connections, demanded
that a 24-hour bodyguard be as
signed to Lloyd.
Mangrun receives a good sti-
pend from May to represent Tam

exhibitions, but he has promised
to make his first return in four
years to Mays jamboree in the
World Championship" meet Au-
gust 9-12. The winner of that
scramble gets $12,500.
Hogan, who shot a four under
