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 DECLARES
VOTING IS DUTY
Washington, Sept. 12. (U.B
War Production Chief Donald
M. 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.

BACK CRITICISM
T
Washington, Sept. 12 (U.FS
A senate agriculture subcommit
tee sharply criticized certain
phases of the Baruch rubber
report tonight and threatened
an attempt to override Presi
dent Roosevelt's veto last month
of farm rubber legislation unless
demands of farm bloc congress
men are met.
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
