UP) Election of a Republican administration would bring a cycle of "boom, bust and chaos," Secretary of Commerce Henry Wallace told a Jackson day rally Thursday night.

Speaking In Shrine auditorium to an audience that filled Its 6,000 seats to capacity, Wallace cried out against "reactionaries" and "the recalcitrant minority" and urged the election of a "progressive" congress. "Progressive forces must keep control of the nation to insure both political and economic democracy for the United States," he declared. Give Him Tools. "To prevent this danger (of 'boom, bust and chaos') not only to ourselves, but to all the world. we must give President Truman the tools to work with.

"It is national futility when the people elect a progressive president and a reactionary congress or vice versa. "We shall never have a healthy two-party system as long as a recalcitrant minority of the party in power fattens itself on party patronage and congressional committee seniority, and still flagrantly flouts the party leadership which. seeks to carry out a people's mandate. Our parties must be more than patronage dispensers." FEPC. He urged abolition of the poll tax and passage of a fair employment practices act.

Wallace was surrounded at the rally by movie notables. Edward G. Robinson introduced him, Margaret O'Brien recited Lincoln's Gettysburg address, George Jessel was master of ceremonies and other entertainment was provided by Mickey Rooney, George Burns and Grade Allen, Danny Kaye, Diana Lynn, Bob Hope, Jerry Colonna, Frank Sinatra, Bette Davis and Lena Home, among others. a jE BflUTIFUL Bill Delayed WASHINGTON, D. C.

(JP) The senate Friday deferred until Tues day consideration of a 500 million dollar program of federal aid for airport construction. An opponent. Senator Brewster has raised the cry of "state's rights" in calling for re jection of the program. Brewster wants a federal program, but he said the pro-i posal would let cities directly to Washington for money, rather than channelling their requests through state agencies. "With 4,000 cities coming in here, the big ones would push the little ones out," Brewster said.

The compromise bill, approved by the house, provides 500 million dollars of federal money, to be matched by state funds, over the next seven years. The measure provides for allocation of federal funds under a formula taking into consideration both the population and area of a state. First appropriations would become available July 1.
