JwASHjMGTOM fMfafi to lb* National cJtoT THE INVESTIGATION of a' Joint congressional committee in to the housing question, schedul ed to get under way early in Oc tober, likely will be in the na ture of a dress rehearsal for the bitter fight expected on the Taft Ellender - Wa gner bill, a battle be tween private and public hous ing. The opposing forces were evi dent in the organization of the committee in which the private Mai estate and housing lobbies won a victory through the elec tion of Representative Ralph A. Gamble of New York, as chair man; and Senator Joseph R. Mc Carthy of Wisconsin, as vice chairman. Senator McCarthy, brash young freshman, defied all prece dent and senatorial seniority by opposing Senator Charles W. Toby of New Hampshire, veteran chairman of the senate banking and currency committee, in the fight for . chairmanship of the joint housing committee. Sena tor Toby came to the committee meeting armed with sufficient proxies to name him chairman since from time immemorial proxies have been voted in the organization of congressional committees. Senator McCarthy, however, with the help of house members, succeeded in forcing through a resolution prohibiting the holding of proxies and then forced through the election of Congressman Gamble as chair man and himself as vice-chair man. This maneuver gave control -of the housing investigation to the house of representatives and to Rep. Jesse A. Wolcott of Mich igan, chairman of the house banking and currency committee, who sits as exofficio member of the joint committee. Congress man Wolcott is a bitter foe not only of public housing but also of all controls on housing and he was sponsor of the laws which threw overboard rent and build ing controls, SVnator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, powerful chairman of the GOP policy committee, is author of the FEEDING IS BELIEVING Once you see what your own flock can do on Larro Egg Mash you'll appreciate the true value of a research-de veloped feed of outstanding quality.

The North Carolina Society of Engineers ended its three-day summer convention here Saturday after hearing for mer Governor J. M. Broughton predict that "the next 15 years" may produce the state's golden era of industrial and agricultural progress. * Broughton, speaking before a banquet session, said North Caro lina can increase its sources and distribution of wealth and- ex pand its state-financed service by promoting the establishment of more processing plants for state produced raw materials. CoL G. W. Gillette. United States army division engineer, told the group his office will complete a proiect this fiscal year on two of the four dams in the Yadkin-Pee Dee rivers flood control project in north central North Carolina. He said four dams are planned above North Wilkesboro with work on two on the Reddies river to begin first, as soon as con gress appropriates funds. The army chief of engineers has al located $70,000 this fiscal year for advance planning of the dams, Gillette said. CALIFORNIA GROWING California, as a population cen ter, is pressing Pennsylvania hard for the status of second state in the Union, according to census bureau statistics, based on a nation-wide population esti mate In the six years and three months betweeen the 1940 count and the 1946 survey, California's population increased an estimat ed 2,643,240 ? or 1.2 per cent. On April 1, 1940, the date of the last actual count census, California was behind Pennsylvania by 2, 992,793, while on July 1, 1946. California was trailing by only 473,623.

Congressman Gamble, the com M'oirtise - committee chairman, is i li tile- known member of the louse since he seldom takes the loor, but he is a son of a former Republican senator from South Dakota, Robert J.

It is ikely that the Joint committee hearings will open in Washing ion and then spread to various lections of the country.* In the meantime, grand Jury 3 robes are being made of alleged nonopolistic practices of realtors n fixing prices ii% commissions throughout the country, and gov n-nment statistics show that the lome building boom has reached I 30-year high but that the -new construction was confined largely x> the smaller towns, suburbs and rural areas. ALL SIGNS point to the fact that Clinton Anderson will re main in his Job as secretary of agriculture. From various sources it has been predicted that An derson would take over chair manship of the Democratic na tional committeee. It is likely, lowever, that Gael Sullivan, the aggressive executive director of he committee, will be named chairman to succeed Robert E. ftannegan.

In the meantime the depart ment is making one of the most careful studies ever made by government on what this country can do if required and the ap praisal is based on the supposi tion: 1. Of continuing high employ ment. 2. Of slightly lower price aver age for farm products. 3. Of continued high export de mands. Patrolman Jones Injured in Crash North Wilkesboro?
