A. O'LEARY. A Senate Banking Subcommittee today approved a revised price con- trol bill, after last-minute efforts to settle & difference of opinion over relative powers of Price Adminis- trator Leon Henderson and Secre- tary of Agriculture Wickard in deal- ing with farm prices. Before sending the measure to the full Banking Committee for action this afternoon the subcommittee adopted an amendment under which the President could transfer func- tions to or from the price adminis- trator and other Government agen- cles, in specific flelds of control. The subcommittee also wrote in | two other amendments today de- | signed to stimulate production and | encourage co-operation in industry in regulating prices. Would Encourage Production. One provides that encouragement of uction shall be one of the factors to be considered in fixing price standards. The other is in- tended to make sure the anti-trust laws would not prevent members of industry from being called for con- sultation by the price control agency. As approved by the subcommittee the bill vests the regulatory power in the price administrator, but Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio, plans to renew his motion in full committee | for creation of & control board. Secretary Wickard and Price Ad- ministrator Henderson both ap- peared before the subcommittee in closed session this morning, and all indications are Senate debate an the bill will center largely around its effect on the farmer. It is understood agricultural of- cials, with some Senate backing, fear the price administrator might hold farm prices down to a level | that would discourage production. | 110 Per Cent of Parity. Senators who do not share this fear point out that the bill specifi- | from going below 110 per cent of parity, or the price level 258 of Octo- ber 1, 1941, and that cattle is about the only basic commodity that is up to parity. As the bill passed the House sev- eral weeks ago it contained three limits below which farm price ceil- ing could not go. The third was the average price level between 1919 and 1929, but this has been elimi- nated by the Senate subcommittee. If the full committee ereports the | bill out this afternoon or tomor- row, it will be the first major busi- ness to be taken up by the Senate | in the new session next week. American products received in| Turkey in the first seven months | of 1941 were valued at nearly $8,000,000. Tires Will Be Given Soldiers in Akron Quartermaster Corps To Supervise School, Opening This Month The War Department said todey it will open & school for training | enlisted men i recapping, retread- l ing and repairing tires at a plant in Akron, Ohio, early month. ) Establishment of the gthool, under | supervision ‘of the rmaster | Corps, is in line with & recently an- | nounced plan far conserving ap- proximately 50 per cent of the rub- | ber used on Army trucks and auto- | mobiles. An experimental program ; just completed at the Holabird | Depot, Baltimore, indicates that thousands of Army tires can be re- conditioned satisfactorily. | ‘The recapping of a tire, by the | addition of about 18 pounds of rub- ber, keeps in service a tire of about | four times that weight, it was esti- | mated. i The Akron school, with which a private plant is co-operating, will | provide an eight weeks' course for 20 soldiers at & time. After gradua- tion, the repair specialists, who will be selected from Q. M. Motor Trans- | port shops throughout the country, will return to their stations to teach other enlisted men. While stress will be laid on re- treading and recapping tires, thel soldiers will study all modern meth- | ods of repair, | There is a definite time, officials said, when a tire should be recapped. Tests prove that it is uneconomical to attempt to get wear out of the last few thousand miles.
