a a a SENATE FARM BLOC BIDS FOR OPA SWAPS Urges Deals Among Groups Seeking 1 to End Price Controls BY WILLIAM THEIS (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) ate farm bloc today invited Washington--The powerful Senti factions seeking price relief to "get out and vote for each other" in order to end OPA control over farm and manufactured products.

Elmer Thomas, (D) of chairman of the Senate agriculture committee, offered as a common weapon for OPA he opponents an, amendment ending controls on farm, timber, fish and petroleum products on June 30.

Individual groups can't get out from under price control by themselves. Hang Together.

"The milk people couldn't do it alone. Neither could livestock, poultry, fish, timber or minerals. Oil has been trying for four years and has failed. If they want to get out, they've got to vote for each other. either hang together or we hang separately." Administration leaders hope that by the time the OPA extension bill reaches the Senate floor a fortnight hence the wave of anti-OPA feeling which marked the House attack will have abated.

We. too, may begin to live as if we were to live forever, matching our steps with His, The Easter bells sound a jubilant and assuring music: love and goodness, are right to endure, forever: comfort will outlast sorrow and the healings of God's mercy, for pain and loss are sure. There will be time enough, the Easter revelation assures us, to finish what in our souls is now hopes is still unrealized.

Partings of virtue "are going on and not of His life Who gives us Easter we may make it ours.
