CONGRESS AND PRESSURE GROUPS Charges that "pressure groups" are directing the course of legislation affecting price ceilings and subsidy payments are resounding in Congress as action nears on the extension of price control. Messrs. Wyatt and Bowles have made vigorous protests against tactics used by pressure groups to weaken the housing bill. And Speaker Rayburn has challenged the

power lobby to a finish fight. Thus a periodic conflict has been revived over lobbying, appropriately described as the biggest, richest and most powerful industry in Washington. Apparently this conflict will provide a lively and illuminating expose of the forces which many administration spokesmen accused of "intimidating" Congress. A bill already has been introduced to investigate influential behind-the-scenes operators.

. , Lobbying has existed in Washington since the foundation of that "federal city" as the nation's capital. It rests

which belongs to every American citizen. It is the abuse,

rather than the exercise, of this right which inspires investigations and retaliatory measures. Congress years ago un

dertook to regulate lobbying, chiefly through requiring per

sons engaged in such activity to register and reveal their connections. Apparently existing regulations are no longer to

be regarded as sufficient.

jae; Nor is lobbying a one-sided business. The dispute over OPA extension finds such perennial opponents of government controls as the National Association of Manufacturers.

National Association of Real Estate Boards. Committee for

Constitutional Government and the National Association of Home Builders lined up on one side. Pitted against them are

the AFL, the CIO, the National f armers Union and dozens

-of consumer groups like the National League of Women Shop

pers Consumers-Union and the American Association of

University Women, which favor continuance of OPA. fl j 1 it -r i

i some organizations, sucn as tne national (irange and American Farm Bureau Federation, have taken qualified

stands on price control. Others, like the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, have taken no public stand, because they are

composed of factions which differ on the issue. Still others

like the National Retail Dry Goods Association named by OPA as one of its "chief enemies" insist that they are not

entirely oppose to OPA but seek only "justice m price ceil

ings. And scattered throughout the price arena are special groups landlords, lumbermen, dairymen which demand higher prices only for their own products or services. A congressional view of this style of "pressure" was given in a statement made on Feb. 15 by Robert Ramspeck of Georgia, the former House Democratic whip, who said: "Unless you have served in Congress, you cannot understand the terrific pressure to which the members are subjected. On every important issue, they are urged in both directions. They are threatened with debeat by both sides, sometimes tactfully but often bluntly." . i

However, it is not too difficult to locate abuses and mis

representations. When a flood of telegrams descends UDon

Congress, indicating more vigorous reactions over a meas

ure man one would normally expect, it may be discovered that the messages actually originated with and were paid for . by special interests. Form letters likewise may be suspected. Even when legitimate they are less influential than personal letters, which too few consumers take the trouble to write. We repeat, it is the abuse of lobbying, petitions and protests which impel Congress to investigate pressure groups. . The proposed investigating appears timely, and we hope it is pushed vigorously.

FRENCH KILLER ON TRIAL IN SLAYING OF 63 PERSONS A gruesome story of a enamel house of charred bones and dismembered bodies will be unfolded by the state at Paris in a murder trial involving perhaps 63 victims. Black-bearded 55-year-old Dr. Marcel Petiot, whose dwelling disgorged a clutter of human remains, will be

charged by the prosecution with luring victims with promises of escape from Nazi-occupied Europe. He is- charged with, having disposed of the bodies in a while-hot furnace, in a lime pit or by dismembering them by expert amputation, and with distributing the packaged remains in the Seine river or in the Boise de Boulogne

l Park. Only 27 victims have been definitely identified mostly Jews

whom the state said had paid the beetle-browed little physician huge sums to help them escape the Nazis. Petiot, in a pre-trial interrogation, calmly, told the examining magistrates he had killed or helped to kill 63 persons, but claimed his victims were collaborationists and that he was the head of a mysterious resistance band.

FEAR GREAT EBB IN ARMY SIZE IF DRAFT LAW GOES House military committee members last night said privately that failure to renew the draft law would leave the United States with an army of only 570,000 men on July 1, 1947. This is 500,000 fewer men than Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower told the committee he would need on that date.

U. S. TAKES RUSS GRAIN TO FRANCE The United States has agreed to assign nine of its merchant ships to transport' 600,000 tons of Russian grain to France, G. Tyler Wood, acting head of the American delegation at the UNRRA conference said last night. Wood, an attache of the State Department's division of economic affairs, said the Russians had agreed to supply France with 500,000 tons of wheat and 100,000 tons of barley, and that the United States hoped to transport at least 100,000 ons of it from Russian Black Sea ports to Marseille, France, by April 15. He expressed hope that it will be possible for Russia to furnish additional food supplies to other coun-

trieis.

Dominique vnispeied. ' You ve seen him. Gail Hie aichilect?"

WHEN WYNAND looked up the Banner's old clippings on Howard Roark, he learned what his newspaper had done to a great building and a great man. ' Next day he drove Roark to the country site of his future . home. They stood on the top of a hill. Roark chose it as the site of the house. , ' Then, abruptly, Wynand brought up the Stoddard Temple. His voice was half defiance, half plea. "I don't apologize. I stand by every word printed in the Banner." "Stop torturing yourself. I'm through with the Stoddard Temple, You're not. Let's say we're even and forget it." They sat down on a fallen tree trunk and talked. Gail Wynand, who confided in no one, told Roark about his past, about his fierce struggle- to rise. The two men could

But Wynand fought against his own feelinje. He refused to see Roark again for a month. When Roa;'k brought to him the first drawings of his house, no memory of intimacy remained. "I am very much impressed," said Wynand coldly. "I vent to make a special deal with you," The deal, Wynand explained, was that Roark build lo's'y for him in the future as the public wished CoVnial houses, Rococo hotels. Mini-Grecian office buildings. "You'll take your spectacular talent and m-ke it subservient." If Roark refuser!, Wynand would wreck his career. Roark said gaiJy, "I'll be glad to do it. That's e.y" I'e drew quickly a new version of the Wynand home in a U i!e. conventional manner. He threw the paper to Wynand. "Is this what you want?" "Good God, no!" "Then shut up," said Roark, "and don't

I'll take the drawings to show my wife." When Dominique saw the drawing in Wynand's study, she stopped still at the door. She could not see the signature, but she knew the only man who could have designed ttv-n bouse. Her shoulders twisted in a last, instinctive gs.uure of protest. Wynand knew nothing of Roark's and Dominique's romance. Hp said- happily, "I didn't think anyone would ever understand what I wanted and design it. He did." She whispered, "You've seen him, Gail the architect?" "Of course. He's coming here for dinner tonight ..." (Continued tomorrow) '
