WASHINGTON, June 13 (UP)
—The Senate, speeding toward a
final vote on the OPA extension
bill, today defeated an attempt to
remove price controls on virtually
all food and farm commodities,
timber, petroleum and tobacco.
The amendment was offered by
Sen. Elmer Thomas, D„ Okla. It
was the most sweeping proposal
offered in the Senate for removal
of controls.
The vote was 51 to 21 against
the Thomas plan.
Even with its defeat, however,
the Senate bill still retains pro-
visions to end price restrictions
on livestock, meat, dairy and poul-
try products on June 30. It also
would increase manufacturers'
and dealers' profits on many pro-
ducts. .
Administration officials freely
predicted that Pres. Truman
would veto bill il' it reaches him
in such a form. They did not think
Congress would override a veto.
In such a case, Congress would
have to take another look at what
it wants to do to OPA.
Thomas asked the Senate to or-
der an end to controls on timber,
petroleum, cotton, milk, livestock,
sheep, wool, poultry, fish and
shellfish, grain, peanuts, fruits
and vegetables and their products.
The Thomas measure was the
last major amendment remaining
to be acted on before the vote on
the whole bill.
Thomas presented stratistics to
show that production of all items
is so far above pre-war levels
that price ccilings should be re
moved. '
Sen. Sheridan Downey, D., Cal„
conceded that production i3 up,
but added that so is buying pow
er. He >said this means that the
supply still is short of the demand.
He insisted on retaining price
controls until production and de-
mand arc in balance.

ROME, June 13 (UP) — King
Humbert II left Rome by plane
today for an undisclosed destina-
tion a few hours after Premier
Alcide do Gaspcri took over as
temporary chief of state by or-
der of his cabinet.
Humbert left Ciampino Airport
outside Rome at 5:15 p. m. (10:15
a. m. EDT) aboard a four-cngined
Italian Savoia-Marchctti. A party
of about 25 persons traveled with
him.
There was much confusion a-
bout the King's next move in re-
ply to an early morning cabinet
communique announcing that de
Gasperi was legal chief of state
under the "sovereign will of the
people." This move overrode
Humbert's claim that he remained
sovereign until a formal procla-
mation of a Republic by the su-
preme court.

Shop was the ability of Its genial
jroprietor, Jules Lambert, to recall
til his customers by name.
Ho never forgot a name, oncc he
tiad heard it; nor a face, for that
.natter, no matter how infrequent
i patron's visits to the shop might
be.
Today, as lie stood by the open
Joor of his establishment arguing
tvitk a Marmoset whose temper
ivus none of the best, he heard,
ibdve the babel of barks, squawks,
ivhist Ies and t rillings about him,
;he harsh grating of a taxi as it
Irew up at the curb.
The chauffeur aided his elderly
noman passenger to descend from
I ;he vehicle. Julos noted that (ho
1 n<!y was carrying a cane contain-
ng a gray parrot. Declining any
'urther assistance from the chauf-
feur, she requested that lie await
ler reap|."aranee and made her
vay into the shop.
"Good morning, Mrs. Pierce!"
.reeled Jules, bowing profoundly.
'My! it's a lone time since I've
lad the pleasure of seeing you
sere; — in fact, I think it's all of
three years!"
She regarded him with evident
istonishment. "So you remember
*ie?"
"Perfectly!" ho told her as she
nrefully placed the cage atop a
jealby table, "And 1 remember
ponzo, too!"
The parrot cocked a rheumy eye
it the speaker; then, after a pre-
jminary squawk, it began to
vhistle "The Girl I Left Behind
tie", and with perfect timing.
"Ha! A very clever bird, that!"
nughed Jules, his fat sides shak-
nj<. "Let me seel You bought it
or your son David, if I remember
lorrectly. He used to drop in
lere quite often;—but it's been
several months now since I've seen
him!" f
"Well, you see, David enlisted In
the Navy. It was ho who taught
Bonzo to whistle so well. Ho was
only a lad when I got this parrot
for him."
"Quite so," he agreed, mean-
while wondering why shed
brought tho bird back.-. 'He
wanted one very much, indeed.
The parrot gave utterance to
certain uncouth mutterings; and
then demanded, with nice articula-
tion: "HI, Mom! Where's my
green sweater?"
Jules a«ain gave way to
laUKhter. "David's voice to a T!
"Yes, but it sort of disturbs m«
tc have Bonzo whistling and talk-
ing just like my boy before he
went overseas. I wish you'd find
the bird a good home; one where
he'll have plenty of good, green
food."
"But, my dear Mrs. Pierce, It's
three years since—"
"Wait! I'm givint; tho parrot
back to you. All I ask is, that you
find a good home for him;—that's
all!"
Bonzo stirred uneasily, then
croaked: "If Mazie calls up, Mom,
lell Iter I'll be back in no time,—
will you?"
Jutes smiled; then sold, in
answer to the remarks of hts
visitor:
"I'll be most happy to carry out
jour wishes, Mrs. Pierce; but —
don't you think when David ctimes
back home he'll want to find his
feathered pal waiting to greet
him?"
The old lady looked down at the
bird; then up into Jules' smiling
countenance.
"He—he's never coming hselt,'
she told him, speaking with «
great effort. "He—went, down on
a destroyer—off the Azores!"
Once more Bonzo tuned up. "So
long. Mom! I'll be seeing you!"
With a choked sort of cry, the
woman turned and fled from the
shop.
