Speaker Joe Martin and Majority Hi Leader Charles Halleck, in the house, *- have maintained party discipline on most issues and the house Republi-1 Cans have “gone down the line” to-; gether on all partisan measures. • * • * On the other side of the political fence, there is a shake-up going on within the headquarters of the Dem ocratic National Committee with Gael Sullivan, former third assist- ant postmaster general, pulling the , levers.

It is readily agreed within the leader ship of both parties that if even one of these questions gets out of hand, it will have a direct bearing on the future peace, and upon a proper settlement depends almost entirely the outcome of the Moscow confer ences now just getting underway. * * • • Economists here profess to see in present high food and clothing prices the last sharp raise before prices start on a decline of perhaps twenty percent-^or more. And that means, these experts say, a drop in farm prices of a like amount. The reason is, they say, that prices can not go higher now without corre sponding wage increases. For in stance, farm products at wholesale are up 159 per cent over 1939; food is up 129 per cent for the same pe riod; building materials, 91 per cent; textile products at wholesale, 94 per cent ... so prices must come down gradually or the top will blow out of the inflation thermometer and then . . . depression. • * * • The house has just voted a com mittee to conduct an “inspection” of the Veterans Administration and giv en them $25,000 to do the inspecting. The senate war investigating com mittee has just asked for and re ceived an additional $150,000 to con tinue its probe n FOR YOUR HEATING OIL ...Call... Gulf Oil Corporation Phone 21 J. A.
