ton, Senate Republican Leader
Bridges Of New Hampshire said
the resolution for an inquiry will
be offered in the Senate this week.
He said Senators Ferguson of
Michigan and Knowland of Cali
fornia will join in sponsoring it.
The. steel companies also have
denied the existence of any legal
basis for the seizure, but thus far
they have not been able to OBJ
tain a court order to prevent the
Government from taking over
control of the plants.
Wants Powers Determined.
"It is no empty question to ask
If the President can seize the steel
mills. can he also seize all the
cattle on American farms to pro-
vide a steady flow of meat into
the homes?," inquired Senator
Bridges. Can he seize any and
all private property for any pur-
pose whatsoever? The country is
entitled to know the answers"
Senator Bridges will ask that
the Judiciary Committee, headed
by Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada, conduct the inquiry,
to determine just what seizure
powers the President possesses.
The New Hampshire Senator
pointed out that the coal mines
were taken over during the war
under the mith-Connally Act,
which has expired. He said the
railroads were taken over in 1850
under law passed in 1916, per-
mitting the President in time of
war to take over the transporta-
ton system.
No Longer Applicable.
But these do not apply now."
he continued. Further, I believe
the most recent case on this sub
ject Of inherent power was in
1945, when Federal Judge Philip
j. Sullivan of Chicago ruled that
even in wartime the President did
not have unlimited power to seize
private property outside of an
active war theater.
Merely stating that an emer-
gency exists does not give any
President the right to ignore
Article Five of the Bill of Rights,
which guarantees our privacy and
our rights to due process of law.
There is every evidence that the
rights of the owners of the steel
mills were violated in this re-
Spect."
Senator Bridges said Mr.. Tru-
man did not offer any specific
constitutional or statutory au-
thority for the steel seizure be
cause there aren't any,"
A similar investigation will also
be sought in the House. Repre-
sentative Jonas, Republican of
Illinois, announced yesterday in
Chicago that he will ask for such
a study by the House Judiciary
committee.

On Leaf Prices
Moves to Reinstute
Support Program in
Southern Maryland
By J. L. MichoeI

Southern Maryland Farm Bu-
reau leaders today began a move
for reinstatement Of the Federal
price support program in answer
to complaints about low prices at
tobacco auctions.
A committee Of the five-county
regional bureau was instructed
last night to seek an early con-
ference with national legislators
and Agriculture Department Of
Ificials.
The Farm Bureau received what
1t considers a mandate from grow
ers at q meeting in Upper Marl-
boro. Area farmers. who voted
II to / against acreage quotas in
1850 and 1851 referendums, have
changed their minds, their leaders
reported.
May Lose S. Million.
The reversal stems from the
probability that planters may lose
from S. million to 81 million this
year because of their 1850 and
1851 votes. Rejection of acreage
controls brought automatic. with
drawal Of price supports, which
had been in effect in Maryland
since 1948.
The price average, this season
Is A cents a pound for about ONE
fourth of the Al million pound
crop Of type 80 leaf. During the
same six-week period last year,
the average was so cents.
Last week practically all grades
sold at prices lower than the pre-
vious week. Losses ranged from
l to 8 cents a pound. Season
averages for most grades were z
to l6 cents less than in the COM
parable period last year.
Approve Of Supports.
Spokesman for Anne Arundel.
Calvert and Charles County Farm
Bureaus reported last night that
farmers had expressed approval
OF the acreage quota-price SUD-
port program at public meetings
Meetings have not been held SO
Tar In Prince Georges and ST.
Mary's Counties but growers in
those Jurisdictions were said To
be in favor Of the plan.
The question is how to get. the
program re-established. The law
specifies that crops grown without
controls cannot be supported.
That would preclude supports this
year and the statute would have
to be amended to re-establish sup
ports when the crop now being
planted is sold next year. The
1850 vote threw out supports for
this year and the 1851 tally dis
carded them for 1853.
n !. Ask for United stand.

the Charles County Farm Bureau.

ture Departments Tobacco Branch
has indicated that it viii 60 along
with Q move to change the law
IF a sufficiently united front is
made" He explained that means
a favorable two-thirds vote in a
referendum to be held in Decem-
ber. In that case, the Farm Bu-
reau believes, the 1851 tally can be
set aside and supports reinstated
next year.
