HOUSE KILLS PRICE CONTROLS
Tentative Action
Would Include All
Unrationed Items
Decision Subject
To Roll Call Vote
Washington (U.R) The House
voted tentatively Friday to kill
price controls on everything
not rationed or allocated an
ction which in effect would re
tinove price curbs from all but
a few metals.
No consumer goods are being
rationed.
The teller vote was 146 to 88.
The action is subject to a later
p-ollcall vote.
The action was taken as the
House worked on a bill to ex
tend price-wage-rent controls
beyond June 30.
Action Attacked
The de-control amendment
was offered by Rep. Henry O.
Talle, R-Ia. Administration sup
porters attacked It as an indir
ect method of killing price con
trol. Chairman Brent Spence, D
Ky.. of the House Banking
committee said:
"Of course, there will be no
rationing. The people don't want
rationing.''
Talle's amendment provides
ceiling prices "shall" be sus
nended on non-farm products as
long as they are "not being allo
cated for civilian use."
Farm Ceilings Suspended
It provides that ceilings on
farm products or products pro
cessed in whole or part from
farm commodities shall be sus
pended as long as they are "not
being rationed at the retail
level of consumer goods for
household and personal use."
"In essence," complained Rep.
Wavne L. Hays, D-O., "there
will be no price control law.
Why not strike the enacting
clause of the bill and do it (kill
controls) in a clean way?"
Tko Tlnnua measure would
Continue in weakened fornVthe
Government's autnority to con
trol prices, wages, rents and
scarce materials. The controls,
as contained in the Defense
Production Act, are scheduled
to expire June 30.

Harwood told O'Malley that
Worley first struck him with' a

Adm. C. Turner Joy, who argued

They are "ruthless ... a very

branded Eisenhower's backers
"the New Deal wing of the Re
publican party" and said they
cannot lead the party to victory
in November on a "me-too" cam
paign. Taft also claimed that he now
has the support of 588 conven
tion delegates just 16 short of
the number required to win the
nomination on the first ballot.
Claim Said Exaggerated
Eisenhower supporters here
pooh-poohed the claim. While
unwilling to divulge their own
compulation of Taft's delegate
strength, they said it was not
"anywhere near" what Taft
claimed.
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr,
Mass., Eisenhower's campaign
manager, said in a statement Fri
day that he has "just completed
my first state-by-state canvass
of delegate strength since Eisen
bower's return and what I have
learned exceeds my best expec
tation." Promises Avalanche
"It shows that uncommitted
delegates and delegates formally
committed to Senator Taft are
pledging their support and this
movement is growing in volume
and promises to assume the pro
portions of an avalanche, Lodge
said.
"Senator Taft, from the first
has smugly predicted that he
will win on the first ballot, and
all of his committee s efforts
the attempted steal, the rigging,
the smear are directed toward
this goal ...
"Directly allied with these tac
tics are tne fantastic claims of
delegate strength which the Taft
forces are now making. These
periodic claims have been
proved false time and again
througout the campaign ... An
examination of these synthetic
claims', state by state, will .reveal
wis lack of substance ..."
Taft Credited With Lead

formal-pledges and known first
ballot preferences, credited Taft
with 471 -delegates and Eisen
hower. with 405. It showed 120

bone of contention between the

whether the Forest Service or
the Bureau of Land Manage
ment should administer the
lands, which originally were set
aside by the government for
railroad grants, but were never
used for this purpose.
No Decision Made
Since then no decision has
been made as to whether they
are a part of the Oregon and
California revested lands, as the
BLM contends, or a part of the
national forest lands, as the For
est Service contends.
Without this decision, pay
ments to counties from timber
sale receipts from the lands
have been held up. Crux of the
argument is the differing formu
las of the two agencies as to
how the counties' share is appor
tioned.
Under the Forest Service for
mula, counties receive far less
than under the BLM formula
25 per cent as opposed to 75 per
cent. The forest service appor
tionment is also limited to use
on roads and for schools.
The suit now pending seeks a
writ of mandamus to force the
government to start making
payments, and on the BLM for
mula. If it is successful, Lindas
estimates that some $5,000,000
will be distributed.
Largest Share $1,021,875
R Douglas county would receive
the greatest amount, $1,021,875,
and Benton county the smallest
apportionment, $13,987, Lindas
estimated. Jackson county's
amount Is second-largest.
Other counties shares he said,
would be:
Lane, $509,250: Clackamas,
$196,125: Columbia, $77,625:
Coos, $230,625: Curry, $16,875:

Tijlamook, $28,500; Washington,
$30,750. and Yamhill. $35,625.
The 18 counties are the so-called
"land grant" counties, and
funds from forest receipts are
based on a formula giving each
a specified percentage of the
amount to be apportioned.
