The battle that must be won,
It is becoming apparent, II there
is to be any real control Of the
cost of living during the present
national emergency, is the battle
over beef. It is now being fought
in the Senate COMMITTEES on
Banking and Currency, to which
the cattlemen and packers have
taken their protests against
Price Stabilizer DiSalle'S deter
mined effort to roll back beef
prices and set up effective regu-
lation Of their industry. The
battle is basic because beef Is
a basic part Of the American diet
and because it is possible to
bring beef prices down without
denying the producers q reason
able profit. 1t is possible to do
it without destroying the parity
they can properly claim under
the Defense Production Act. In
deed, the first roll-back orders
issued by Mr.. Disable will still
give to the producers prices IS
per cent above parity-meaning
the essential costs the producers
have to meet. The additional
roll-backs later in the year will
still give them prices Is per cent
above parity. That hardly seems

The price situation was pre-
sented to the Senate committee

he told the committee only what

make objective analysis of the
situation extremely difficult.
This is not the first time
that the American Legation in
Damascus has suffered a humili-
ating rebuff. When, some
months ago, 1t was rumored
that the Hashemite Kingdom of
Jordan might bolt the Arab
league to reach a separate
understanding with Israel, the
league, via Damascus. informed
King Abdullah that if he did
so the boycott against Israel
would be extended to Jordan.
The American minister was
instructed to deliver a strong,
official American protest at the
Syrian foreign Office. I under
stand that he tried to persuade
Washington that such action
would be undiplomatic and in
effective. but the order was re-
peated. He was, as a result,
shown the door-on the ground
that the protest was gross in
reference by q great power in
the internal affairs of the Arab
states and that If, or when,
these should choose to negotiate
with Israel they would do so
in Tel-Aviv and not in Wash

To some degree the same lack
of liaison prevails between the
departments and the hill. Each
charges the other with apathy
and both can prove 1t.
Senators complain that the
executive branch does not use
the weapons it has to follow
through when avenues to help
the administration are opened
to them. The Justice Depart
ment under Attorney General
McGrath is a particular target
OF this complaint. Senate
Armed Services. for example,
worked long and hard for the
eventual triumphant vindication
Of Assistant Secretary of De-
Tense Anna Rosenberg; the rec
ord OF their hearings which they
believe showed rank perjury
went to Justice and obscurity.
In their pre-occupation with
the past, its controversies and
its errors, in their insistence
upon proving that Roosevelt
was wrong and they were right,
Republicans are failing to call
attention to these aspects of
what is wrong with the present.
It Is still a fertile field.
