By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 19.—Congressional determination to participate in the peace conference and other post-war adjustments comes to early and: perhaps premature showdown today before a - joint meeting of the senate foreign relations and agriculture committees. The committees are demanding to know why President Roosevelt did not’ invite congressional participation in the forthcoming united nations food conference which convenes May 18 at Hot Springs, Va. Assistant Secretary of State Dean C. Acheson has been invited to present the department's explanation to the senators today. His explanation will be that the confer-

If it fails to include substantial bipartisan congressional representation, Mr. Roosevelt may encounter the kind of legislative bushwhacking that ambushed, and destroyed President Wilson’ s league of nations project.

‘Informer’s’ Suit Asks $2,000,000

CHICAGO, April 19 (U."P.)— George Yellen, Chicago attorney, sought $2,000,000 today in an informer's suit against the National Bronz and Foundry Co. of Cleveland, charging the company with conspiracy to sell inferior products to the government and armed forces. The government flled ‘a suit charging fraud and asking double damages against the company in Cleveland yesterday. The government action, designed to forestall an action similar to Yellen’s, asked the federal court to determine the amount of damages. Yellen claimed that his information indicated the loss to the government amounted to $1,000,000 and action under his informer’s claim would incur double indemnity against the company if the fraud is proved.

Extra Auto Fuel Ration for Summer Commuters Is Banned in: East.

WASHINGTON, April 19 (U. P). —OPA today banned extra gasoline rations for summer commuters in the Eastern shortage area coincident with release of statistics showing that the honor system on pleasure driving was a complete failure. The new gasoline orders, effec-

tive next Saturday, apply to both automobiles and boats in the Eastern area. They virtually eliminate pleasure

sult in closing of thousands of summer homes along the Eastern seaboard. But OPA said that “no vagation and summer hotel travel can be encouraged while the rubber and gasoline shortages are making it necessary to curtail severely many types of passenger car use, including driving in many occupations.”

Pleasure Boating Hit

Non-occupational boating is being denied gasoline, it said, because low supplies have forced “drastic cuts in the basic. rations of automobiles virtually. eliminatirig pleasure driving.” : This order specifically prohibits the use of gasoline in boats used for sightseeing, pleasure parties or fishing parties other than commercial fishing—except boats enrolled in the coast guard axuiliary. The public roads administration revealed the failure of the pleasure driving honor system. Its statistics showed that Sunday traffic declined enormously after Jan. 7 when the first ban on pleasure driving was imposed, but rose to former levels under the honor system.
