Backed by Wolcott, who fought the vital war bill from the start, and with Bankhead running interference in the senate group, Steagall forced the retention of the provision. Note: The administrations fight was made by Sen. Prentiss Brown, Michigan Democrat, and Sen John Danahcr, Connecticut Republican. Another Row. Wiekards fronting for the farm lobby in the price control bill isnt the only row hes had on this score with inner administration leaders. The papers are full of stories about a big crop expansion program this year to meet the food needs of U. S. war allies. Frequent press releases issue from the busy publicity stafT of the agriculture department about grandiose plans. The real inside is that Wickard didnt get busy on these plans until he was practically ordered to do so by Vice President Henry Wallace as head of the Economic Warfare board Wallace sent Wickard two sharp letters demanding prompt action to expand crop production and only then did Wickard bestir himself. Certain farm elements are against crop expansion, on the ground that scarcity makes for better prices. Working through politically minded Triple A ollicials. who have a lot of influence with Wickard. the kept him on the fence until Wallace jarred him off Note: Secretly, the AAA politicos also had a lot to do with Wickard s endoi semetit of the gravy-traiamendment in the price bill.

Lewis was not named a member of C.I O. peace committhe three-matee was because President Roosevelt personally blocked it. When he and C.I.O. President Phil Murray discussed the counter plan that scuttled Lewis' blitz scheme, Roosevelt advised that the new A F.L. and C.I O. peace committees be limited to three members each. That would avoid turning the joint committee into a "mass meeting." he explained, and also make it easier to keep hostile Lewis out of the picture. "If you have too large a committee. Phil," the President added with a smile, "you may appoint Lewis." I guess you're right, Mr. President," laughed Murray. Note: Lewis intimates say he would not have accepted appointment to the committee if it had been ottered him. The GENEIUL MVRSHLLL You weicn't seeing things if you saw the news picture of Gen.
