Washington, Oct. 19.—Current de
bate in the seriate on the Anderson
farm bill is expected to take up most
of the time in the upper house dur
ing the next ten days or two weeks.
In the meantime, with the house
back in session, committee activity
took on added significance at this
session, they were being set up for
action at the second session of the
congress which starts in January,
1950.
One measure important to veterans
was approved by the senate finance
committee without amendment from
the house-passed version and would
increase disability and death com
pensation rates listing total disabil-
ty at $150 instead of $138 a month
.with partial disability rates at a
corresponding raise. Payments t^..de-
pendents-of wartime casualties would
be raised from $100 a month for a
widow with one child to $105 plus
$25 for each additional child instead
of the present $15.
The governmnet would pay 100 per
cent compensation to World War I
veterans for service-connected disa
bilities instead of 75 per cent, would
make extra compensation benefits
available to dependents of veterans
with 50 per cent disability, instead
of the present 60 per cent, would ex
tend time for compensation for ar
rested cases of tuberculosis and would
liberalize requirements for disabil
ity incurred during confinement
where felony or dishonorable dis
charge were not involved.
A senate judiciary sub-committee
heard testimony on a house-passed
measure to plug a loophole in the
Clayton anti-trust act. The measure
provides that one corporation may
not acquire the assets of another cor
poration if the move lessens compe
tition or trends to create monopoly.
Sen. Joseph C. O’Hahoney of Wyom
ing told the committee that the bill
would close a loophole “which is
driving the country toward mon
opoly and totalitarianism.”
“What has happened in Europe,"
Senator O’Mahoney said, “is proof
that monopolies and cartels create
unemployment ind accelerate the
drive toward a totalitarian state.
Monopolies and cartels are the foe
of free enterprise.”
Senator O’Mahoney said the bill
would not hurt small business as
wording of the measure would put
mergers of small business outside
the prohibitions of the Clayton act.
“Obviously.” he said, “those mergers
which enable small companies to
compete more effectively with giant
corporations generally do not reduce
competition but rather intensify it.”
The measure is opposed generally by
groups allied with the National As
sociation of Manufacturers.
Two other measures affecting ru
ral areas were considered by the
senate agriculture committee dur
ing the week. One would remove
the price support from dried eggs.
Following a statement however by
Ralph S. Trigg, president of com
modity credit corporation, that the
bill would break faith with the far
mers who produced eggs this year
in accordance with the support price,
the committee announced no more
hearings would be heard.
The other was a resolution to in
vestigate the spread between prices
paid for food by housewives and the
prices paid farmers for the same food.
Sen. Guy Gillette of Iowa, chairman
of the sub-committee, said extensive
hearings would be held within the
next few weeks to find the- reason
for the stable prices to the consum
er and the dropping income of the
farmer.
Another measure with political re
percussions was one introduced by
Congressman Jesse P. Wolcott of
Michigan, a Republican, to increase
the borrowing capacity of the com
modity credit corporation by a bil-
lin dollars. Wolcott said the OCC
would soon be scraping the bottom
of the barrel for money available for
farm price supports.
The Republicans do not intend to
watch a “planned” surplus of
farm products pile up this fall and
then have Democrats go to the coun
try on behalf of the Brannan plan
during the campaign. Congressman
Wolcott remarked that "additional
funds must be made available at this
session if the government is’ to keep
its* prbmises and eomifiitments to
the American farmer.” He also said
he would ask the house banking com
mittee. of which he is a member, to
imestigate the operation of CCC.
Congressman Brent Spence of Ken
tucky, Democrat^ committee chair
man, however said there would be
no investigation or action soon.
