The home office did not comment immediately. Browder, who came here yesterday from Paris, was understood to have been lodged in the gray brick barracks of the security police at Heathrow airport.

The final shape of legislation extending OPA after June 30 is being decided by a house-senate conference committee. After delegations representing housewives and labor groups swarmed the capital demanding that Congress save OPA, Taylor told the rally that consumers i can make prices come down by refraining from buying.
I Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas j(D-Calif). told the same rally, 1 sponsored by the Independent Citizens Committee of Arts, Scientists and Professions: A majority of the Democrats and a few Republicans know that a 50-per cent rise in living costs will be as ruinous to our economy as the atom bomb was to Hiroshima.

Certain signs betray those who bet on the fight. For instance, today, both ends of Clark Gable's mustache were turned down. So he must have lost. Grover Whalens mustache turned up at both ends, so he must have won. But Governor Deweys mustache turned up at one end and down at the other.
I guess he broke even, huh?
