Conferees Discuss Compromise Proposal On Price Control Plan Under Study Fails To Meet Objections Made by President By the Associated Prees. Informed lawmakers said today that a compromise price control bill which would resolve major dif- ferences between the Senate and House but would fail to meet Presi- dent Roosevelt's objections to the Benate measure was being discussed by the conference committee of the two chambers. Senators and Representatives ap- pointed to_the group requested to n out differences between the two bills indicated that many more closed-door sessions must precede a compromise report. Mr. Roosevelt has protested two provisions backed by the Senate farm bloc: The amendment by Sena- tor Bankhead, Democrat, of Ala- bama, requiring prior approval of the Secretary of Agriculture on farm product price orders, and an amendment by Senators O'Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming, and Russell, Democrat, of Georgia, which would allow farm prices to rise considerably above recent levels before price con- trols eould be applied. Warns of Inflation. ‘The President warned that these special concessions to farmers would compel the inflation which the bill originally was drafted to prevent. The possible compromise was said to involve the combination of the “veto” over farm prices and a House provision for a five-member board of appeals, which was stricken out in the Senate. Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio, one of the conferees, was said to have suggested that the controversial Bankhead amendment might be modified by accepting the House| provision for a board, which could include representatives of the Agri- culture, War and Navy Depart- ments. Instead of giving this board a veto power over the price adminis- trator as provided by the House, Senator Taft suggested that the administrator be made chairman and executive officer of the board with authority to issue temporary price orders on his own when neces- sary. O'Mahoney Plan Opposed. ‘This_compromise fails to comply with President Roosevelt’s direct' appeal to the Senate for a “single responsible price administrator” ex- pected to be Leon Henderson, now fixing prices under executive order. The House conferees were re- | ported opposed to the O'Mahoney | amendment which sought to tie farm | price levels, below which price con- trols were barred, to industrial wage | levels.

Williams, di- rector of public safety for the coun- cil. “That theory isn’t supported by fac - Mr. W said the curtailment might reduce accidents if it does three things: Reduces sharply the number of cars in use, influences those who do use cars to drive less, and influences motorists to drive more slowly and carefully to prevent excessive wear or loss of cars in & wreck. Conflicting Factors Cited. But it is more probable, Mr. Wi- liams pointed out, that other factors may cause an actual increase in the traffic toll. They are: Motorists will be driving older cars and may find it difficult to keep them in safe condition because of a shortage of spare parts and skilled mechanics. Tires in many instances will be used beyond the safety point. Many cars discarded as unfit for service will go back on the road. ‘The tempo and urgency of war production and transportation will be increasing every day, further ag- gravating the problems that already have sent the traffic toll to record proportions. Blackouts may come to many cities.

J., Jan. 17.—Prose- cutor William A. Wachenfeld said today Mrs.-Amelia Mildred Carr, whom he thas identified as & mil- lon-dollar swindler, has waived jury trial and offered to throw her- self on the mercy of the fourt on a charge of obtaining $4,700 under false pretenses. Mr. Wachenfeld said the 66-year- old church worker probably would be arraigned in the Essex County Court Monday on a charge of ob- taining the $4,700 from Mrs. Ma'el Burnett, 71, a fellow worker in the Roseville Methodist Church, for in- vestment in ofl stocks, but appro- priating the money to her own use. David E. Bernstein, counsel for J. Clarence Carr, the prisoner’s hus- band and chairman of the church Board of Trustees, said several prop- erties owned by Mr. and Mrs. Carr would be sold and the proceeds used to pay Mrs. Carr's debts. William Decker of West Orange has filed a Chancery Court suit seek- ing to recover about $16.000 Mrs. Carr is reputed to have in five properties.
