THE NATIONAL SCENE Special to The Chronicle. Washington, July 17.—There is about a two to one chance that the peace talks now going on in Korea between representatives of General Matthew Ridgeway and Red China may be successful. Likely if the cease fire order holds good, there • will be discussion looking toward an armistice, but when peace will come will depend upon weeks of discussion. In the meantime, the government here in Washington is operating on a stop gap basis. Since no appro priation bills were passed by the congress when the end of the fiscal year, June 30, rolled around, it was necessary to pass emergency stop gap bills in onier that the agencies of government could function and the employees be paid.* By the same token, neither house or senate could get together on an extension of the highly important national defense act, which also expired June 30, so after an all- night session, congress passed a 31- day extension of the act, but hedged it about with a ban on any rollback in prices during that 31 days. So the consumers who were due to reap the benefit of some price roll backs on thousands of ar ticles which the office of price sta bilization had already ordered ef fective July 2, will be prevented from cashing in on those lower prices. OPS was forced to issue a quick price freeze again on these arti cles as of June 30. These price roll backs would have applied to ma-1 chinery. cotton textiles, shoes, wearing apparel and many house hold appliances and such items as bolts, screws, nuts, plumbing and drainage specialties, builders hard ware, soaps, cleansers, watches, mattresses and box springs, agri cultural insecticides and other items. • • • What will happen to the foreign aid program, including the Mar shall Plan and the aid asked for by General Isenhower is still to be seen. It may be that some stop-gap legislaiton will be necessary to keep the country from lapsing or repudiating some of its commit ments under these programs. Because of Democrat increases in the senate, such as the replace ment of GOP Senator Vandenburg, deceased, by Senator Blair Moody of Michigan, two Republicans have been ousted from important com mittee posts on the senate appro priations and banking and curren cy. The two senators bumped were those with lowest seniority. Sen ators McCarthy of Wisconsin and Bennett of Utah. The GOP as signed McCarthy to the senate rules committee and Bennett was assigned to postoffice and civil service committee. This leaves McCarthy without a major committee assignment. In the meantime, a resolution adopted by the Young Republicans of the Eighth Distrcit of Wiscnosin, Sen ator McCarthy’s home district, urg ing McCarthy’s defeat in 1952, was given widespread publicity here. The resolution urged the Mc Carthy defeat on grounds that he has accomplished nothing of im portance during his five years in office nad “has engaged in char acter assassination and mud-sling ing tactics, thus discouraging good men from holding office.” • • • The house on a roll call of 240 to 139 passed a bill authorizing the importation of Mexican farm labor and permitting farmers to employ Mexican “wet-backs” those enter ing the country illegally. A similar bill authorizing recruitment . of Mexican farm labor was passed by the senate May T, but the senate bjll contained an amendment mak ing employment of “wet-backs" a felony. • • • The senate crime investigating committee now is engaged in a probe of narcotics in the country. As a result of its hearing, nineteen narcotics control bills have been introduced in this congress, large ly protecting minors from drug addiction. In the entire 81st Con gress only one measure was intro duced. FEOPLR ARE >ING THE CHRONICLE THAN EVER BEFORE!
