CP) Oregon's brand law was termed "Inadequate" Tuesday by the State Farm Bureau Federa tion's House of Delecates. The group asked that it be revised to affect "closer supervision of live stock movements and better judgment on the part of offi cers." It also urged thnt the law be made to cover the entire state in stead of just designated areas. The resolution declared that more complete records of trans actions in dressed meat and live animals should be made avail able. Members reported that "rub- Leather Half Soles 1.89 ' WHILE-U-WAIT ! at ber-tired rustlers" had been ac tive in many areas of the state recently and declared that the law must be made "tighter" to meet this threat. The 58 delegates from through out the state also moved to se cure a "master" contract with canneries for farmers. A commit tee was instructed to survey prcs- eni contracts ana recommend a new one to cover all growers. Under a "master contract" plan, now operating in some slates, pea, bean and other veget able growers would negotiate as a group Instead of as individuals with eanners. A spokesman for the delegates said a better price would be ob tained under this plan. Father, Two Daughters Make Housing Team MEMPHIS, Tenn.

OPEN DAILY FROM 9-4 Congress 'Drifts' To Await Expected Republican Rule Bv PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON - (NEA) If recent developments in Con gress give any clues, politicians are counung neavuy on an en tirely different kind of adminis tration in Washington for the next four years. This new trend in government is really the old, old trend. It comes from the ultra-conservative ReDUhlican ma. Jority. But it gets plenty of sup port from the ultra-conservative Democrats. In general, the drift Is to let things drift. Don't do anything tnis year mat can be put off un til next. For alter inauguration day, there mav be a new Presi dent. The cocky Republican old guard thinks he will be a safe member of Ihe COP. And right wing Democrats from the south say now that it isn't going to be Harry Truman. So things like these are noticeable: There's a move on to extend appointments .of the five-man Atomic Energy Commission un der David Lilienthal for one or at the most two years. The law calls for instituting a five-year stagger system in, the appoint ments. By approving short-term appointments, the Republicans hope to replace Lilienthal and maybe some others with men of their own choosing. TVA Under Attack Instead of trying to write a new long-range farm program, as the Republicans promised in 191G and '47, the House agriculture committee under Cliff Hope of Kansas nas aitcneu tne idea. It merely wants to extend the pres ent law for another vear. Instead of coming to grips with the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act renewal, the majority in Con gress apparently wants to pro crastinate. The act expires June 12. President Truman has asked for the usual three-year exten sion, previously granted four times. Tennessee Valley Authority perhaps the greatest single ac complishment of the Roosevelt years is under attack in both nouses of Congress. In the lower House, appropriations to build a new sleam-electrlc generating Elant near Memphis are opposed y the private power lobby and may be denied. In the Senate, Ne vada's (ii-orge Malone has taken up the fight long led by Tennes see's McKellar to restrict TVA oeratlons. Fear of a presidential veto is probably all that delays these crippling amendments. Though President Truman has reeatedly urged the need for standby anti-Inflationary controls, the Republican leadership has shown no Interest. Chairman Rob ert A. Tnft of the joint congres sional committee on economic re ports nas ueen too busy- cam paigning in Ohio to consider the draft of a report drawn up by his staff on these important matters. If there Is any congressional in terest in these things, it, too, is being put away until next year. People Favor Liberals The Senate has passed Senator Taft's long-range housing bill and a bill providing federal aids to education. Hut the still more conservative leadership in the Mouse is stalling on ootn meas ures. Extension of social security coverage ana increase in mini mum wage rates are off to a late start and may get nowhere. Tax reduction was passed over the President s veto. Hut long- needed general reform of the en tire tax system has been post poned until next year, when Re publicans hope they can tailor to tneir own lit. What ail these things add up to is an indication mat tne Dre vailing sentiment in Congress is 'way over to the right on domes tic issues. But it Is open to ques tion wneiner tnis is me prevail ing setnlment of the voters. Practically all recent public opinion polls have shown that the combined vote for what might ne canea tne more liberal candi dates Truman, Stassen and Wal lace is greater than the combin ed vote for the conservatives Tart, Dewey, Martin and MacAr thur. This would indicate that the prevailing senitment of the coun try is still progressive and left wing, rather than reactionary unu j jkui. Tabernacle Organ Being Remodeled SALT LAKE CITY (P) One of the world's most famous mu sical Instruments, the Mormon tabernacle orpran, is being re built. The 81-year-old organ, which has been heard bv thou sands of visitors to Temple Square and millions of radio listeners in the past quarter-cen- iiiry, win nave seven new sec tions of pipes installed before the next general conference of the Latter -Day Saints (Mormon) Church in October. The total number of pipes will be 10.000. instead of the present 7.000. Thorpe B. Isaacson, directing the remodeling, savs that the exterior appearance of the mas sive organ will not be altered. Original pipes forming the im posing front of the organ will be retained, borne ot tne wooden in terior pipes built In pioneer days also will be continued in use. The organ was built on order ot fingnam Younp, pioneer presi- oi ine cnurcn. nv Josenn h.
