'HOKUM' CHARGE _ Cor "HURLED AT OPA

Outburst Touches Off Tur- ~~ moil of Senators: | “——tContinued From Page One) that, “despite washroom sources, we ‘are not retreating.” Mr. Porter said he was confident congress would give OPA the neces- | sary tools to “finish our job” and] that living costs would be held] “pretty much” to present levels. Highest Point He said even OPA's severest] critics conceded that opposition | “reached its highest point” ‘last week when the House rammed through ‘an amendment-riddled | nine-month extension bill. Mr. | Porter said this legislation would] wreck the price control program, | if enacted in the house-approved | form. | Administration ~~ officials were ‘pinning their hopes on the senate passing OPA legislation virtually as it was introduced. Earlier, Mr. Bowles predicted that congress would heed the “stream of telegrams and letters” from the public and extend OPA, without crippling amendments, Labeled ‘The Horsemen’ | “The out-and-out profiteers who are licking their chops.in an anticipation of an orgy of speculative, gains should know now that the| American people have just begun! to fight,” Mr. Bowles said. In his testimony, Mr. Besse labeled Mr. Bowles, Mr, Porter, Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson, Civilian Production Administrator John D. Small and Wage Stabilization Director * W. | Willard Wirtz as “the horsemen.” | “The horsemen ride again,” he said. “What the group asks is that the OPA, badly ‘crippled’ by its own inefficiency, stubbornness and lack of realism, be continued ‘as is’ and allowed for another year to cripple industry and delay the attainment of higher production levels.” Mr. Besse said the wool textile industry sought three spe¢ific amendments to the price control act: ONE: Discontinuance of the maximum average price program. TWO: Price relief for individual items. THREE: The same profit-over-cost allowances that prevailed in 1941. | Eliminate Meat Subsidies The house bill would abolish the! maximum average price plan and! permit cost-plus-reasonable profit to manufacturers, distributors and retailers. It also would eliminate] meat subsidies June 30, eliminate! other food subsidies by the end of this year, and eliminate all controls on any commodity as soon as supply equals pre-war levels. Administration leaders in the! senate were not ds confident as Mr. Bowles that the house bill, which virtually emasculates OPA, would be! revitalized in the senate. ! They were faced with the possibility it would be still further gutted by an angry coalition of Republicans and senators from farming and mining, states. Senator Robert A. Taft (R. 0. recognized Republican leader on] economic questions, said in an in-| terview that he expected the senate to do “about the same as the house, but more logically.” ! Mr. Taft denounced charges that all of the house amendments were “crippling” to price control. | Disagrees With Bowles “This whole outcry against them is based on Mr. Bowles’ theory that if the cost of living goes up 10 per, cent, price control will be dead,”| Senator Taft said. “It's just not so There still will be price control and the government still will be holding prices much more closely than wages.” A major senate threat to the OPA was an amendment which would strip the agemcy immediately of) everything except controls on rents|

and alcoholic beverages. The! amendment, introduced by Senator Elmer Thomas (D. Okla.), was

frankly designed as a catch-al] for votes. : | Mr. Thomas predicted his amendment would easily get more than majority vote when it comes up in the senate.

According to investigators, each loaf of bread had been painted on the bottom with arsenic and therefore, Col.

The poisoned bread was delivered to the camp April 15. Col.
