- Loss of Subsidy Battle to!® FDR Climaxes Hours Before Recess.
WASHINGTON, July 9 (U. P.).— Congress went home mad today. It is the first congressional vacation since Germany invaded Poland In September, 1939. The first congress in 10 years seriously to“ challenge President Roosevelt's leadership wound up its | first six months with nothing bet- | ter than a tie on both domestic and international issues. The “mad” was a carryover from the final test—in which the administration won by a one-vote margin on its insistence that food | price subsidies are an essential part of the price and wage stabilization
program and the fight against run- |
away inflation.
Anti-Subsidy Withdrawn The issue was settled late yes- | terday. The senate withdrew. by a vote of 34 to 33, its attempt to outlaw the subsidized roll-back of retail butter, meat and coffee prices. It was anti-climactic a few hours later when both the senate and | house approved without a record | vote the measure to which the anti- | subsidy measure had been attaghed. | and then recessed until Sept. 14. It made the score virtual ly even, however, on the tug-of-war between the administration and congress which began Jan. 6 with assembly of the most evenly divided congress, along political lines, since the vent of the New Deal March 3, 1933

The senate farm bloc’s shunting to the agriculture committee, as a “club in the closet” against higher industrial wages, the president's veto of the Pace and Bankhead bills aimed at increasing farm income. The subsidy victory was the major presidential victory on the home front. Prior to that,

Counting reappropriated funds in| some of the measures, the total money made available to government establishments since Jan. 6] will approximate $130,000,000, 000. | All but about $6,500,000,000,000 of this will go for war purposes. | The congress used those appro- | |priation measures, however, to strike at the administration of the do- |B |mestic political and economic front. | (It cut the requests for the office |of price administration and the | |office of war information.

| Political Victory “Empty”
The most clear-cut congressional victory came when both the senate and house ran up more than the two-thirds vote necessary to over- | ride the president's veto of the anti- | strike bill. | On the political front, the presi{dent won confirmation without a fight on his appointment of Tammanyite James B. McNally as U. | S. district attorney for the southern | district of New York. Congressional observers considered it an empty victory, however, in view of the fact that congress |had blocked his appointment of | former Democratic National Chairman Edward J.

There will also be plenty of activity during the interim by committees remaining in Washington to investigate the administration’s
duction, economics, communications and rationing. Nor will the post-war situation be overlooked this summer. Authorized and unauthorized groups from both houses plan to use the recess for extensive stumping tours and investigations on post-war policy. The most extensive investigations authorized the battlefront tour with were scheduled by the senate, which Senators James Mead (D. N. Y. and Ralph O. Brewster (R. Me.) representing the Truman committee; Senators Albert B. Chandler (D. Ky.) and Henry Cabot Lodge (R. Mass), the military affairs committee, and Richard B. Russell (D. Ga.), the appropriations committee.
LILLY EMPLOYEES TOP BOND QUOTA
Eli Lilly & Co., nationally-known | pharmaceutical and biological manufacturers, today became the first Hoosier firm and possibly one of the first in the nation whose employees reached the increased dollar war bond quota under the new “Figure It Out Yourself” program. In a drive in which nearly 3000 employees increased their payroll savings for war bond purchases, the plant quota assigned by the treasury, was topped within 48 hours. Nearly 175 employees of the company who have authorized payroll savings of 20 per cent or more of their wages, will be given recognition by the company as members of the “20 Per Cent club.” Awards will be made to 275 employees by the treasury. By being first reported over the top in the state, the Lilly company occupies the number one position on the war finance committee's “First Firms” list, which will include the first firm over the top in each of Indiana's 92 counties, Charles E. Hoover, executive manager of the payroll savings division of the war finance committee, announced.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor
WASHINGTON, July 9. — Gen.
Henri Honore Giraud, commander of the French forces in North Africa, co-leader with Gen. Charles de Gaulle of the committee of | | liberation and one of the grand he- | [roes of France, is here as a guest | | of President Roosevelt and the American people.
But the Giraud visit, welcome | though it is, is not generally ex-| | pected to heal the breach between French factions abroad or improve | relations between some of these! elements and the United States. On the contrary, it may have just the reverse effect. The trouble is much too deepseated for any visit to cure, however distinguished the visitor. It! resides deep down in French poli- | tics, than which few things are | more complex. There is little that | Washington can do about it.| Barring a miracle, Uncle Sam i) reap the traditional reward of those who find themselves involved in a| family quarrel. Before it is over, | he probably will be cussed by both sides and all the children.
Simple as ABC
To understand the situation, one must have a clear idea of American policy toward France and the attitude of each of the two principal French factions toward the United States. The American government's policy is as simple as ABC. It is first to win the war and, second, to provide the people of France with an opportunity to set up a government of their own choosing. It is as democratic as Lincoln's Gettysburg address. So far the attitude of Gen. Giraud is in accord with the American program. His aim seems to be to help defeat the axis, liberate his people and let them elect their own leaders. Unfortunately, Gen. De Gaulle appears determined to set up a political machine first and free France afterward. While the British and Americans, and the French under Giraud, were fighting and dying for a foothold from which to invade Europe and set France free, De Gaulle was insisting on political purges, even among the French officers who were risking their lives daily. Things had to be done his way and at once or he wouldn't play.
Spread Propaganda
Because Gen. Eisenhower insisted on following the American policy of winning the war first, the highly organized De Gaulle machine set in motion anti-American propaganda. Eisenhower, they charged, was interfering with “French sovereignty.” He was trying to “dictate” to France. But today, tragic though it 1s, there is no such thing as “French sovereignty.” Sovereignty in a democracy resides in the people. And the people of France are under the Nazi boot. Their armies are starving in German prison camps and the handful fortunate enough to be outside are powerless save insofar as they make common cause with the British and Americans.
To say that the Americans are in-
