| THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO! - Cattlemen Oppose Views of President On Price Control Westerners Would Align Bill With Wickard's Food-for-Freedom Plan By the Associated Press. SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 9. —West- ern cattlemen joiried today with Midwestern farmers in opposing President Roosevelt's views on a price control bill, after drafting an out-of-the-ordinary resolution call- ing for alignment of the measure - with . Secretary of Agriculture ‘Wickard's “food-for-freedom” pro- gram. Their action came after charges were made that witnesses at con- gressional price control hearings were “hand-picked” and that op- ponents of the measure were denied the opportunity of testifying. ‘The business of adopting the reso- lution interrupted the announced routine of the 45th annual conven- tion of the American National Live- stock Association, after President J. Elmer Brock of Kaycee, Wyo., told the group the matter was of the utmost importance to the meat- production industry. Want Two Provisions. As sent to Western and Midwest- ern Representatives and Senators immediately after passage, the reso- lution urged these provisions in the price control bill: 1. That any authority to fix price eellings in livestock products be vested in the Secretary of Agricul- ture, or 2. That if the authority should be wvested in the Office of Price Ad- + ministration, that the bill carry pro- © Agrictulture to approve ceilings - fixed by the O. P. A. of livestock products. : Say Hearings Denied. Frank S. Boice of Tucson, Ariz., first vice president of the associa- i tion, presented the resolution after an emergency session of the Execu- tive Commitee. Earlier F. E. Mollin, secretary, had | reported to the organization “in my . 13 years’ experience as your secre- tary this is the first major legisla- * tion of direct and grave concern to us on which we have been denied - the opportunity of appearing at’ public Hearings, although days have been given to proponents of the leg- islation.” : The Executive Committee also . wired directly to President Roose- velt its assurances that the associa- tion was pledged to full loyalty »nd support of the Nation's war effd}ts.

HONOLULU, Jan. 9—Hawall, | vital American outpost in the | troubled Pacific, may be on the way | to near self-sufficiency. A program to expand agricultural | | output of the islands is in progress, |and equipment is on hand to con- | | vert sugar—principal product of the islands—into motor fuel for the ter- ritory’s war machine. | For the time being, the islands are | well fixed for food, Lt. Gen. Delos | C. Emmons, new commander of the Army’s Hawalian Department, dis- closed in an interview yesterday which gave an encouraging picture of the usually-placid islands which were ripped by Japan’s sneak open- ing attack of the Pacific war on December 7. A new enemy assault “may happen |at any time,” he pointed out, “but we will not be surprised again—and we will hold the islands.” i Prepared for Attack. “We are prepared to meet an at- | tack at any time,” he said. “and we are not waiting until the Singapore - 'Hawadii Is Prepared for Attack 'At Any Time, Gen.

Better All-around Fighters. The general, a lieutenant colonel | in the first World War, declared the present-day soldier is “physically better, more intelligent and better all-around fighting man than the | soldier of 1917.

Morale in Hawail is high, he said, the determination to “take it” equal to London's and the civilian discipline “far better.” The general was in London during the heavy Nazi raids of 1940. As an example of the seriousness with which the islands are viewing the situation, he said he stopped to joke when a sentry halted him, but was told: - here, buddy, this is serious business.” Robert C.
