u. 5. Workers
Assured Of PAY
Up 10 June 80
Conferees Approve
Supplemental Bill;
Steel Rider Dropped
BY Joseph Young

House-Senate conferees today
agreed on the third supplemental
appropriation bill, thereby assur-
ing regular paydays for Federal
employees between now and
June 80.
House and Senate approval Of
the confereeS' action is regarded
as a mere formality.
Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee said
the House would not vote on the
bill until tomorrow because of a
prior agreement not to act on any
legislation over the Memorial Day
week end until Wednesday. Sen
ate leaders said the Senate would
act Immediately after the House
approves the measure.
Postal Workers Miss Pay.
The action came too late to
avert payless paydays for 500, 900
postal employees whose paydays
were scheduled for yesterday and
today. A final enactment Of the
bill tomorrow, however, will per-
nit postal employees to be paid
by the end of the week.
Conferees today agreed to elimi-
nate the Senate approved rider
which forbade the Government
to use any of the funds to enforce
seizure Of the steel industry. Since
the Supreme Court yesterday
ruled the seizure illegal, the rider
was meaningless.
Loan Plan Worked Out.
The Small Defense Plants Ad-
ministration also has a payless
payday today. The agency, how
ever, has worked out an agree
ment with the Munsey Trust Co.
to lend money to employees at a
small interest rate.
Most other Federal agencies
don't have paydays until next
week and haven't been affected
thus far.

Sweet Potatoes Get
Scarce as Shortage
OF White Ones Eases

The shortage of Irish potatoes
neared an end today-but sweet
potatoes got scarce and expensive.
One chain grocery reported that
carload lots of new white potatoes
from California are scheduled to
reach the District tomorrow. From
then on, a spokesman for the
chain said, there should be plenty
of white potatoes.
For the moment, however, only
driblets of new white potatoes are
arriving. One chain reported
booming sales of canned or dried
potatoes.
Sweet potatoes were a poor sub
stitute. One chain had none to
sell. Another chain was selling
sweet potatoes at % cents per
pound; still another, at 2412 cents.
who ever heard of such
prices?" one grocer asked.
One big vegetable buyer said the
new crop of sweet potatoes will
not arrive for several weeks, and
the carry-over from last years
crop, is just about gone.
The Agriculture Department,
while reporting that overall food
production in the United States
may set new high records this
year, said the outlook for white
and yellow potatoes is not bright.
The department said that, be-
cause of a small carry-over from
last years poor crop of sweet po-
tatoes, fewer have been available
to the public so far this year. The
coming crop. the Agriculture De-
partment said, should be one
seventh larger than last years.
Even so. it will be smaller than
any sweet potato crop since 1883
for last years worst-ever
output.
