; Burglars who last night broke into the Meridian Heights Pres ‘byterian Church, 4701 Central Ave. just missed the collection. It

had been taken to a bank.

The bill would establish a Labor Extenslon Service for industrial workers similar to that for farmers under the Agriculture Extension Service. The farm extension costs about $23,000,000 a year in Federal funds and the labor extension would start with $10,000,000, Mr. Madden said. J The federal government would provide 75 per cent of the finanecing for the study centers and state or local governments 25 per cent, The latter would have com-

GOP Firm Against Truman Program

WASHINGTON, Apr. 19 (UP) —Congressional Republicans today met President Truman's demand for enactment of his 10point anti-inflation program with continued hostility. Mr. Truman renewed his demand for wage, price and rationing controls in a speech Saturday night at the convention of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Such powerful Republican leaders as Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr.,, of Massachusetts said they had no inténtion now of supporting such measures.

Urges Inflation Curb

Other Republicans predicted Congress would turn the President down if he made a formal request to the lawmakers. « Mr. Truman told the editors that the nation faces an increasing threat of a deprsesion unless Congress acts now to curb inflation. : He proposed as a solution the program he first sent to Congress last November. Inflation is steadily getting worse and is undermining the nation’s economy, the President said, The editors ended their threeday convention with the annual dinner addressed by Mr. TruTruman. They elected new officers and adopted a series of resolutions,

reflected by the Indiana lican congressional delegation. Sen. William E. Jenner (R. Ind.) pioneered in a stand which was taken by Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) in addressing the editors earlier last week. That is that there never should be any peacetime price controls or rationing in the U. 8. A. “President Truman's speech was just a rewrite of yesterday's newspaper,” Sen. Capehart said. “Inflation controls are not as much needed now as they were last November when he first asked for them. Prices have softened, particularly in foodstuffs. ‘ “The only control that appears] necessary now might be a priority on raw materials for defense plants. That could be essential to the building of the superior air force which I highly favor.” Sen. Capehart introduced a bill jearly in the present session to roll back prices to Dec. 13, 1947, levels. He says that isn’t neces-
