OPA Revival Meets Delay In Senate WASHINGTON, July 5 lP 'Another weekend without price controls became a certainty to "day when Majority Leader Barkley (D-Ky.) delayed until Monday senate action on a bill ' to revive OPA. At the same time Barkley . criticized Senator Wherry (R I Neb.) for inviting all members I of the senate to Join in a series J of amendments that would elim J inate controls over meal, milk, i butter and similar products, i OPA Administrator Paul Por j ter called on congress today to l revise the OPA extender bill I still further to bring it into line J with President Truman's recom ! mendations. I The bill as amended by the I senate banking committee over the protests of Senator Taft (R j Ohio), Porter said, does not go i Jar enough. He said it contains I "undesirable features." ! As the senate headed toward I debate on the substitute for the I OPA bill Mr. Truman has ve- toed, Porter issued this state j ment: I "My comments yesterday af l ternoon upon leaving the senate 1 banking and currency commit J tee applied only to the Barkley l amendment as a substitute for t the Taft and Wherry amend J menLs to the price control bill, j Not Blanket Approval I "It did not represent a blan j ket approval of the bill as a ! whole as reported out by the I committee. I "I still hope that congress j will pass a bill that will con- form to the president's recom l mendations in his veto message, I and that other undesirable fea J tures will be eliminated." While Porter did not elabor I ate on provisions of the bill he j regards as objectionable, it was j understood that these include: I (1) Amendments which out I law a requirement that manu J facturers produce low-cost j clothing, (2) a provision for spe i cial pricing of cotton and wool J en textiles, (3) an amendment re J storing the prewar profit mar i girs of automobile dealers and I household appliance distributors, (4) possibly provisions transfer J ring authority over food prices i -to the secretary of agriculture m v uiwac acmiig uj new pro- I cedures for removal of price ceil j ings. -' - j Senate Authorizes i Foster Creek Dam WENATCHEE, July 5 P) The $71,000,000.

Dolan, deputy president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men, said today that the decis ion to call a strike of the mem bership on the Illinois Central railroad was "the result of a breakdown of collective bargain ing on the handling and disposi tion of grievances." The strike, he said, was called to be come effective at 10 p. m. on July 21 with the approval of the office of President A. F. Whitney in Cleveland. The deputy president said that he had been "trying for two years to compose the grievances, which extend back over a neriod of years some as long ago as l 1D37. The grievances, Dolan asserted, total more than TOO cases and involve time payment claims, dismissals and workmen held out of service. Crowds Jam Fairgrounds For Opening (Continued from Page One) 35.1 and Jack West and Stan Johnson took third with a time of 38.5. Fourth place went to Al Coehlo and Bob Jones, with a time of 41.0. The Quarter mile cow horse race was taken by Jim Bidwell's string, with Jim schuckrs second, R. R. Noble's third and Tiburcio Alvarez's fourth. The five eighths free for all race was won by Hugh McNerney s horse with the horses of Leo Hanks, Pat Hogue and O. S. Pitts plac ing second, third and fourth. The bull riding event is a split this year with one "section riding each day and two days riding required to win day money. Winners of this event will be announced Saturday. The best reined cow horse event had not been judged as final at a late dale. No Bad Accidents No serious accidents were re ported for yesterday's show, al though there were several nasty spills. Early in the afternoon one of the bareback broncs plunged into the grandstand in C section, but no one was in jured, and the horse fell back into the arena without hurts. One broken horn resulted in the bulldogging event, but no other stock was injured. The brahma bulls caused some delay in the show due to the fact that no hot shots were available on the first day and they had to be dragged into the chutes with ropes. One brahma, in keeping with the legends that have grown up about their hair trigger tempers, plowed through the north gate, spilling railsit ters, .horses and gates all over the north end of the arena. There were no injuries. Special events in the show in cluded Chock Mowdy and his trained horses and bulls and the clown, Jimmy Dixon, with his mule. Mowdy showed a trained brahma bull for the first time in any arena, riding the animal, making it lie down and roll over, and capping the act by making the bull kneel and place his head on the ground while Mowdy sat on it. A special drill was given by the Chico quadrille team, com posed of eight members each couple riding matched horses and using matching gear. The troup exhibited a square dance on horseback, the callinff belne done over the loudspeaker sys tem Dy a t-nico man. Lynn Roycroft announced the entire show over the PA system, and . both KFLW and KFJI broadcast the show to those who were unable to attend.

It is apparent to any clear thinker that any rise in price because of the loss of a subsidy isn't a REAL rise, because the subsidy came out of taxes that everybody has to pay. . ""THE situation may yet get out -1 of hand. We have to return to control of prices at least in some form. But in these days when because of the spectacular political collapse of price con trol we are struggling to rea, pt our economy to the normal tree market system, let's at least keep clear in our minds what IS happening. , The experiment forced upon us by the quarrel among the pol iticians is at least working bet ter, when ALL is considered, than might have been expected. Senate Passes Bill On Rivers WASHINGTON, July 5 (flV The senate approved a $1,000, 000,000 rivers and harbors bill today after rejecting a proposal to eliminate authorization for a $116,000,000 Tennessee-Tombig-bee waterway in the lower Miss issippi valley. Passage of the bill came on voice vote. No record is made of how individual senators vote in such instances. The senate restored to the bill a $71,000,000 Foster creek reser voir in Washington. This pro ject had been stricken from the bill by the senate commerce com mittee. Largest item in the legisla tion, which makes no actual ap propriation of money, is the Ar kansas river program estimated to cost nearly $500,000,000. The bill carries a $150,000,000 ini tial authorization for the pro ject. The measure now goes to the house for action on senate changes. Unless the house ac cepts them, the bill then will go to a conference committee to ad just house and senate differ ences. Soviets Refuse Help In Korean Project WASHINGTON, July 5 UP) Russia has ignored American ap peals for cooperation in rebuild ing a Korean government, offi cials reported today, and the United Nations is going ahead on its own. In the American occupation zone in Korea Maj. Gen. Archer Lerch, military government chief, is setting up machinery by which it is hoped the Kor eans, who have had no political independence for almost half a century of Japanese domination, will be able to prepare them selves to resume full freedom.

Sheep receipts also were belter than expected. Although some of the nation's major cities and rural ureas ciimc through the first few Ol'A less days without a noticeable dent in the pockelhook, there wits ample indication that most of the country was not so for tunate. Meat prices all but staged a runaway In a majority of cities, although some industry spokes men said they were still under black market levels and would begin to ease downward once the long-bare counters were filled again. Butter and milk costs also spurted upward In a quick geta way but they were fur behind the meat pnee. Rent boosts caused turmoil In ninny places.
