yesterday announced an immedi-
ate increase of 3% cents a bushel
in producers’ price ceilings for
the 1945 wheat crop. .
The agency said the increase is
calculated to reflect parity, as re-
quired by law. It, applies to all
grades of wheat.
In a revision of the wheat reg-
ulation, OPA also announced a
formula for determining ceilings
for deliveries of wheat in store at
points other than the farm. Such
deliveries, OPA said, are in line
with customary trade practices,
but previously had not been cov-
ered in the regulation.
Also announced was a reduc-
tion of 2 cents a bushel in the dis-
count for “sample grade” wheat

But how many omissions could be
allowed and still meet the “rea-

The legislature could recall the
resolution, place it in a confer-
ence committee, and change the
date of the election if this action
was taken before adjournment of
the regular session. However, if
this action is not taken before the
legislature adjourns, and Taylor’s
court action should succeed in

taken until the next regular ses-
sion in Januarv, 1947.

Wins Silver Star,

Dallas Young Man Is
Related to Several
Gainesville Citizens
First Lt. Benjamin H. Carpen-
ter, son of John W. Carpenter,
president of Texas Power &
Light company, and Mrs. Carpen-
ter of Dallas, who was recently
awarded the Silver star and given
a battlefield promotion from sec-
ond to first lieutenant for heroism
in action while in Burma, has
been transferred from the 124th
Cavalry of the Mars task force
in Burma to the Headquarters
Chinese Combat command as aide
to Brig. Gen. Boye.
Lt Carpenter was stationed on
the Texas border with the 124th
Cavalry at Fort Brown and Fort
McIntosh prior to going overseas,
and, just before leaving, he fixed
himself a box of sand from the
mouth of the Rio Grande river
on the Texas side to take with
him. He says he always has some
of this sand in his shoes and,"
therefore, stands on Texas soil
wherever he may be.
Lt. Carpenter was awarded the
Silver star and recommended for
the battlefield promotion after he
had reorganized a company on a
Burma hill which had lost its
commanding officer and was in
great danger without leadership
and ammunition and, at midnight,
beat off a strong and determined
attack of the Japanese.

Biennial Poll
Tax Fight Bobs
Up in Congress
Issu Thrown Squarely

Of Petition Tuesday
By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST
WASHINGTON, May 30 (A)—
The biennial poll tax fight
bobbed up today to threaten the
harmony that has marked house
Democratic ranks since Presi-
Old Age Pension
Amendment Seems
To Be Jeopardized
Senator James Taylor
May Resort to Court
Action for Relief
AUSTIN, Texas — Legislative
delay may have jeopardized the
submission of H. J. R. 13, the Con-
stitutional amendment raising
old age pension grants from $15
to $20 per month out of state
funds and removing the $1,500,-
000 limitation on aid to depend-
ent children.
Senator James E. Taylor of
Kerens, who opposed the amend-
ment in its present form, is pre-
paring data for court action to
prevent the submission of the
op-ament at the August 25th
election. Although he has ac-
tively supported maximum aS*
sistance to needy aged, he has
been a bitter opponent of the
present plan which contains no
limitations which would guaran-
tee that assistance would go only
to those who are actually in need.
Last week he secured from Sec-
retary of State Claud Isbell a list
of the newspapers in which the
amendment was supposed to be
published four times, the first
publication to occur not later than
Friday, May 25, to meet the con-
stitutional requirements.
So far 39 counties, with a to-
tal population in excess of 500,-
000, have reported no publication
and answers to the inquiry are
still coming in.
Senator Taylor’s opposition to
the amendment in its present
form is based on the contention
that it will only increase the num-
ber on the rolls and not the
amount of the grant because the

ments.

jurisdiction over the legislation.
It also circumvents the rules
committee, which could have
sidetracked the bill even had the
judiciary committee approved it.
The latter group has refused to
act on the measure.
Under house procedure, a vote
on whether the legislation shall
be considered on its merits will
come June 11, with a showdown
on passage slated the next day.
Poll tax opponents, led by Rep-
resentatives Vito Marcantonio,
New York American Laborite,
and George Bender, Ohio Repub-
lican, said they were certain the
bill would get through the house.
Their confidence was strength-
ened by the fact an actual ma-
jority of the membership signed
the petition.
Southern Democrats, who have
kept the legislation off the law
books in two recent congresses
after the house had passed it un-
der similar procedure, have little
hope of blocking it in the house
this year, either. But they claim
they can stop it in the senate,
where they have made successful
fights in the past with the aid of
filibusters and threats of filibus-
ter.
Although he kept his strategy
a carefully guarded Secret, Mar-
cantonio told reporters he was
sure the filibuster tactic would
not succeed again. He predicted
the bill would reach President
Truman.
