of 1874 to 142 to send the meas
ure to President Truman.
Earlier in the day the Senate
adopted the legislation by a voice
vote.
The bill would extend controls
that are due to expire tomorrow
at midnight.
The Senate debated the COM
promise for less than two hours.
The House spent about Al minutes
on it before leaders succumbed to
repeated cries for an immediate
vote.
On the roll call. 1877 Democrats,
66 Republicans and one Indepen-
dent voted for the bill. and 104
Republicans and 38 Democrats
opposed it.
Administrative Victory.
The bill is regarded as a smash
ing victory for the administration
after the House had passed an
earlier version virtually calling for
removal of all price controls.
Congressional leaders expressed
confidence that the measure would
be signed by President Truman to
carry forward the 'administra-
tion's anti-inflation program.
The measure swept through
both the Senate and House as
an adjournment fever seemed to
take hold of the members in an
iticipation of Congress being able
to wind up its work and go home
by next Saturday night before
the Republican National Conven-
ton opens the following Monday.
Senate and House leaders were
cautiously optimistic that the geal
could be met despite a backlog
Of appropriation and other meas
ures that must be acted on this
week. Both the Senate and
House mapped out heavy sched-
ule of work starting tomorrow in
a final effort for adjournment
rather than just for a recess for
the national political conventions.
Tale Amendment Dropped.
The compromise controls bill
was hammered out by a Senate
House conference committee
which began work at II am. Fri
day and continued through until
the early hours of yesterday
morning.
The administration chalked up
its greatest victory when the con-
ference committee dropped the
House-approved provision by Rep
resentative Tale, Republican, Of
Iowa. that would have removed
controls from all commodities not
under rationing or ALLEGATION.
This would have been a body
blow to the administration con.
troll program since nothing is ra-
toned now and only few metals
are subject to ALLEGATION.
The conference committee also

Callahan came up out of the dugout. 1t was
the first time Lefty had been knocked out of
the box since he joined us, and felt sorry for
him. He went slouching across the field to
