In May, 1950 the department paid out $349,633.30. CHECKS ISSUED for the month also showed a decline over April and were almost 10,000 less than a year ago. May's total was 9.793, April's was 10,766 and May, 1950 was 19,229.

Oahu accounted for $104,897 of the total outlay and for 487 of the new claims. The report also states that although further employment gains were noted in construction, wholesaling-retailing trade industries and military installations, total unemployment in the Territory increased during May by approximately 370, bringing the total to 11,140.

An amendment by Rep.

Tom B. Fucate, stipulated no price ceilings should be established for any types of agricultural produces below 90 per cent of the May 19th level. THIS WAS TAILORED to apply to the controversial beef rollback program pushed through by price stabilizer Michael V. DiSalle. The vote 12 to 11.

In a night session, the committee also approved administration proposals for setting farm parity once yearly. The process now is to adjust it monthly for stabilization purposes. The committee earlier had approved Mr. Truman's request for standby food subsidies as defense mobilizer Charles E. Wilson said the administration may have to drop some of its other economic deniands.

THE LANGUAGE of the amendment against the beef rollbacks means the administration's planned four and one half per cent cuts in August and October would go by the board. The present 10 per cent cut would stand, however. "No shall be established or maintained for any agricultural commodity below 90 per cent of the price received (by grade) by producers on May 19, 1951, as determined by the secretary of agriculture," it said. THE 10 PER CENT rollback on beef went into effect on that date. The 15 to 8 vote to fix parity prices by marketing seasons or years was designed to facilitate administration of the stabilization program.

The committee also decided to maintain the present law relating to ceiling prices on fluid milk in areas not under marketing agreement.
