MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1942. PAGE THREH ON ACT TO CURB INFLATION RISE Legislation to Give F.D.R. Authority "Out" Sen. Barkley Reports. Washington, Sept. 12 U.PJ Congressional leaders neared agreement today on legislation to outline specifically the meas ures the administration shall take to combat inflation, rather than confer a blanket grant of new powers on President Roose velt. Senate leaders conferred all morning In the office of Chair man Robert F. Wagner. D., N. Y., of the senate banking com mittee and continued the dis cussion most of the afternoon with house banking committee men. Senate democratic leader Al ben W. Barkley. Ky.. said after the afternoon conference that complete agreement has not been reached as yet and that the leaders would meet again at 3 p. m. Sunday in a final attempt to have a suitable measure pre pared for introduction on Mon day. Barkley confirmed that legis lation giving Mr. Roosevelt blanket authority is "out." Speaker Sam Rayburn. who endorsed the administration's original plan for a blanket grant of power for Mr. Roosevelt, did not participate in the conference. The differences that still pre vented final agreement on a bill for introduction simultaneously in both houses on Monday were whether the legislation should authorize the president to take certain specific meas ures for controlling wages and farm prices or whether a for mula to control these inflation ary factors should actually be written into law. In either event, it was said, the bill probably will adhere to the program the president had prepared when he sent his anti inflation message to congress last week.

Nelson, asserting that "vot ing is a duty, not a privilege," tonight urged war workers to go to the polls even if it means leaving their machines. In reply to numerous letters received from workers unable to decide whether to stay on the job or take time off to vote, Nelson said: "I believe there is only one answer to this question. While I understand fully the men who think they should stay on the job, voting is a duty, not a pri vilege. It is a duty, however, that is allowed only to free men. "The right to vote is. In short, what this war is all about. It should be one of the very ex ceptions to the all-Important rule of staying on the job and get ting the war materials off the production line and on the battlefronts.

The subcommittee, headed by Sen- Guy M. Gillette, D la., ac cused the Baruch report of "freezing admitted mistakes" and of failure to meet the issue raised in the vetoed bill. The subcommittee accusation carried the endorsement of senate Re publican leader Charles L. Mc- Nary, Ore., and Sen. George A. Norris, Ind., Neb., also members of the group. The vetoed measure would have set up an independent war agency to supervise increased production synthetic rubber ffom farm and forest products. In disapproving the bill, Mr. Roosevelt created the committee headed by Bernard M. Baruch to investigate the entire rubber sit uation and make recommenda tions upon which future policy would be based. ine committee in its re port on Thursday recommended nationwide gasoline rationing to conserve tires, a universal speed limit of 35 miles an hour, an increase in the synthetic rubber production goal from 870,000 to 1,106.000 tons, and appointment by war production chief Donald M. Nelson of a rubber "czar", OF STEEL HIGHER New York, Sept. 12 (U.PJ Disclosure that steel production of the United States Is only about 16 per cent above the com bined output of the axis powers and their satellites and that this gain may be cut within the next six months was the biggest piece of news on the industrial front during the past week. The latest estimate of axis steel output, made by the war production board's iron and steel branch, came as a shock since private figures had placed U- S steelmaking facilities almost 50 per cent ahead of all the axis nations and their occupied and controlled areas. David F. Austin, acting head of the federal agency, revealed that according to information secured by the government steel output of tha axis group in 1941 approximated 74,000,00 ingot tons. That compared with prev ious estimates by the steel In dustry of not more than 61.000 000 tons, including 53.800.000 CORN REMOVER Own la.uat i!M ha plm uU pat ttnlr nmtvt hut mm, ao mtw SM Cilat,!... warn, aapiflaiia. dk Mils.
