LOOK TO SENATE TO RESCUE O.P.A. I

WASHINGTON, April 29. (UP) William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, said today House-approved amendments to the Price Control Extension Bill would open the way for a "scandalous windfall of profits to speculators." 1 Green testified before the Senate Banking Committee, which is considering legislation to extend price control beyond the present June 30th expiration date. He urged extension of the act without crippling amendments to permit OPA to "let go gradually, instead of all at once." His statement followed a plea by the American Veterans' Committee that only a strong OPA can halt wild inflation that would nullify the pensions, loans and other financial aid granted to veterans. Green told the committee the House acted with ill-advised haste in approving a series of amendments which he said were "deliberately designed to condemn price control to death." He said the "strangling amendments were stampeded through the House," most of them without study by a committee. Meanwhile, OPA-Administrator Paul A. Porter said after a con-j ference with President Truman that he still hoped "the Senate will rescue us" from the House9ppr0ved bill. Porter said he gave ' Mr. Truman "an interim report" on OPA.

The CIO official publication said "there's a growing feeling that Fred Bays, New Dealer chairman of the Democratic State Committee, has overlooked the best possibility for the United States Senate that the party has . . . Frankly it's about time that Fred Bays gave serious consideration to the candidacy of Fred Bays." The article described Bays as a progressive thinker, "Farmers like him; busi1 nessmen like him." And, said said the article, "he knows the I issues thoroughly." In his statement announcing he will not seek the state chairmanship again, Bays said that In reaching that decision, "I have in mind above everything else the welfare of the Democratic party and the part it must play in j bringing about world peace and 'domestic happiness, "It has been a high honor nnd a great privilege to have served the party as represented by the leadership of Franklin D.
