THE JOURNAL, PLATTSMOHTH, NEBRASKA PAGE FIVE Congress Adjourns First Vacation Since Hold Instalation September 1939 The First Congress in Tea Ters to Challenge the Proposals of President Boosevelt .", Washington, July 9 (UP) Con. gress went home mad today. It is the first congressional ya cation since Germany invaded Po land in September, 1939. The first congress in Id years to seriously challenge President Roose velt's leadership wound up its first six months with nothing better than a tie on both domestic and interna tional issues. The "mad" was a carryover from the final test in which the admin istration won by a one-vote margin on its insistence that food price sub sidies are an essential part of the price and wage stabilization pro gram and the fight against runaway inflation. The issue was settled late yester day. The senate withdrew, by a vote of 34 to 33, its attempt to out law the subsidized roll-back of re tail butter, meat and coffee prices. It was anti-climatic a few hours later when both the senate and house approved withput a record vote the measure to which the anti pubsidy measure had been attached, and then recessed until ' Sept. 14. It made the score virtually even, however, on the tug-of-war between the administration and congress which began Jan. 6, with assembly of the most evenly divided congress, along political lines, since the ad vent of the New Deal March 3, 1933. Notable "draws" were: Enactment of a modified Ruml pay-as-you-go tax plan after the President indicated he would veto outright forgiveness of one year s taxes. The senate farm bloc's shunting to the agriculture committee, as "club in the closet" against higher industrial wages, t the President's veto of the Pace and Bankhead bills aimed at increasing farm income. The subsidy victory was the ma jor Presidential victory on the home front. Prior to that, the President had obtained almost unanimous congressional approval on all mat ters involving international rela tions. The reciprocal trade and lend-lease programs were continu ed almost unanimously. Despite an avowed "economy pledge, the con gress appropriated approximately J115.000.000.000. "most of it for war. . . The congress used those appro priation measures, Tiowever, to strike at the administration of the domestic, political and economic front. It cut the requests for the office of price administration and the office of war information. It allowed only "liquidation" funds for the national youth administra tion, the federal crop insurance pro gram and the . national 1 resources planning board headed by the Pres ident's uncle, Frederic A. Delano, Another administration "must' measure, . increasing the statutory debt limit to $210,000,000,000, was used by congress to repeal the Pres idential order setting a $25,000 ceiling after taxes, on wages and - salaries. The most clear-cut congressional victory came when both the senate and house ran up more than the two-thirds vote necessary to over ride the President's veto . of the anM-strike bill. On the political front, the Presi dent won confirmation without fight on his appointment of Tarn manyite James B. McNally as U district attorney for the southern district of New York. The Pearl Victory Theta Rho girls held their installation of officers on Thursday evening at their lodge room. The officers installed were: President Catherine Conis.

Brewer, president of the Nebraska State Federation of Labor, today had accused the Senate of "playing politics with the very subsistance of the American people" in jeopard izing the administration's price fix ing program. In a sharppiy worded telegram to Sens. Kenneth Wherry, R., Neb. and Hugh Butler, R., Brewer declar ed it was "high time yuo in con-1 gress awoke to the fact that we are at war There are no words to strong to express the seriousness of this situation." As the "representative of 40,000 Nebraska workers," Brewer contin-u-ed, "1 demand that you fully sup port of the price fixing program." "I am advised that the Andersen- Taft amendments to the recent price control bill may mean the aband onment of all control on meat and meat products," Brewer wired. "Be' lieve me when I say that a break down of the price program may, at this critical time, shake our govern ment to its very foundations.' He warned both senators that "if you use your high offices to per mit such action you may be assured the people of Nebraska will hold you responsible for the results which may be far more serious than you can comprehend.

(UP) By Fred Bailey, Correspondent for U. P. The serious shortage of livestock feed, probably requiring a sharp cur tailment in meat and milk produc tion, was indicated today by Agri- ultural department forecasts of the producton which is sharply below estimated requirements. The supply of feed grains will be only SS per cent of that necessary to continue feeding operations at pres ent rates, the department said in an otherwise gtsiwally favorable fore cast of 1943 food production. While livestock numbers have in creased about 10 per cent over a year ago, feed production likely will be nearly 10 per cent less. The in dicated feed shortage, already criti cal in many areas, because commer cial corn growers are not selling, may become nation-wide next spring and summer, unless livestock num bers are reduced or sizeable quanti ties of feed are imported. Farmers are now feeding some 80,000,000 cattle, while small ship ments to markets have created a shortage of beef. Farmers have in dicated they intend to grow h record 127,000,000 head of hogs, 22,000, 000 more than last year. Otherwise, the report generally was more favorable than a month ago. Aggregate crop production was estimated at 114 per cent of the 1923 to 1932 average but 9.5 per cent less than last year's phenonomenal record. The acreage in cultivation was 11 per cent larger than last year. Visits at Glenwood Mr. and Mrs. Frank A.
