" that their price ceilings under the| A—2 & Agriculfure 'Ceiling" Still Chief Obsfacle To Price Bill Accord House-Senate Conferees Hope for Agreement By Wednesday By GOULD LINCOLN. Conferees of the House and Sen- ate continued during the week end to struggle over the controversial price control bill with the problem of farm prices still the major issue. ‘They hope to be able to reach an agreement on a compromise bill by ‘Tuesday or V/ednesday. Notwithstanding the efforts of the President and others to eliminate the O'Mahoney amendment, which it has been charged will cause a 25 per cent increase in foodstuffs, and give the “go” signal for increases in industrial wages and prices of manufactured goods, representatives of agricultural States in Congress are sticking to demands that a *ceiling” sufficiently high be estab- lished for farm products to give the farmers fair treatment in view of the fact there is nothing in the bill to control industrial wages. It has been suggested in some quarters that the O'Mahoney amendment will be thrown out, and the Bankhead amendment, which gives the Secretary of Agriculture the final say on fixing farm prices, will be retained, as a compromise. ‘The conferees insist, however, that no decision has been reached in the matter. Brown Tries o Allay Fears. Senator Brown, Democrat. of Michigan, chairman of the confer- ence committee for the Senate, sought yesterday to quiet fears of house and hotel owners over pro- visions in the bill relating to con- trol of rents. Protests have been received in increasing numbers from landlords, who fear that the pro- posed price control administration will crack down on them arbitrarily. “No one need fear a crackdown,” said Senator Brown, “unless he wants to profiteer.” He gave five reasons why there should be no alarm. First, he said, the Federal price control administration would not step in unless the local agen- cies and State agencies failed to act to prevent profiteering in rents, as| they have, for instance, in the Dis- trict of Columbia. Second, local and State agencies would be asked | by the price control administration to deal with rents, and the Federal | officials would act only if the local agencles failed to act within 60 days. Third, a definite standard, probably as of April 1, 1941, was| fixed as a basis for rents. Fourth, | increases in taxes and other costs| would be taken into consideration | in rent fixing. Fifth, the price con- trol officials would have to consult | with local authorities on all orders issued dealing with rents. Four Major Issues Involved. Further, he said, the bill limits| eontrol of rents to “defense rental areas” where the war program has caused or threatens to cause a rise in rents. Although four major problems re- main to be dealt with, including agricultural prices, it is believed they will all fall into pattern, once an agreement on farm price ceilings satisfactory to the farmers can be reached. These issues are, in addition to agricultural prices, the licensing provision adopted by the Senate and rejected by the House; the House provision calling for an independent five-man board of review with power to revoke price ceilings fixed by the administrator, and commodity pur- chases as a means of preventing inflated prices. The House author- ized Government purchases of do- mestic commodities alone. The Senate included all commodities. ‘The licensing provision is designed to enforce the orders of the price control administration. If the farmers can be satisfled law will be sufficiently high, they| will not be concerned particularly | over who fixes prices or the licens-f ing provision. The House bill pro- vides for 110 per cent of “parity.” Parity has been defined as the| price at which the Agriculture De- partment figures that a farm prod- uct has the same purchasing power, in terms of industrial products, that it had in the period of 1909- 1914. O’Mahoney Calls Amendment Just. The OMahoney amendment adopted by the Senate raises the farm price ceiling to 120 per cent of parity. There is the provision that the farm price ceilings shall not go below an average of farm prices from 1919 to 1929—known as the Brown amendment, first adopted in the House and then in- serted in the O'Mahoney amend- ment. Some of the conferees are insisting that this provision, having been carried in both House and Senate, must stay in the bill. Senator O'Mahoney said yester- day that his amendment had been prepared at a conference of a num- ber of farm organizations, and that he had sponsored it at their request. He insisted that the amendment is only just to the farmers. “The fight against the so-called wage parity amendment is all based on a complete misunderstanding of You and An Air Raid Great demand for this at- tractive pamphlet — contain- ing The Star’s recent series of articles on air-raid precau- tions — exhausted within 2¢ hours the first printing of 10,000 copies.

C, RIO DE JANEIRO.—WELLES HITS “ILLUSORY NEUTRALITY"—Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles, leader of the United States delegation to the consultative conference of the 21 American republics, in a speech at the opening session, January 15, was cheered when he referred to “illu- sory neutrality.” Mr. Welles is shown in foreground delivering his speech. —A. P. Wirep! hoto by radio from Buenos Aires. its purpose and effect,” he said. “It is not inflationary, it is merely just. It does not represent a ‘grab’ by greedy farmers, but only a plea that the shocking disparity which exists be- tween the returns to the farmer and the returns to all other elements of the economy shall not be made per- manent. *‘Parity’ is not equality as many headwriters assume. ‘Parity’ is & word used by statlsticians and econ- omists to mean the ratio that ex- isted in 1910 to 1914 between the economic position of the farmer and that of all persons off the farm. That ratio was, roughly, one to four per capita. When the farmer has parity of income he is getting one-fourth as much as all other elements. Effect Is Explained. “You just cannot tell me that the people of this country want to con- demn the farmer permanently to such a relationship, particularly at a time when it is acknowledged that it is essential to stimulate the pro- duction of more food. “My amendment would not com- pel an increase of prices. It would not of itself cause any farm com- modity to rise in price. It merely provides that since, under the policy of the price control bill, no limita- tion whatsoever is to be placed upon ‘wages if any such increase of wages is permitted, it shall be considered as @ factor (only one-fifth) in com- puting parity prices. “We do not ask that wages be kept down because the Banking and Currency Committee took the posi- tion that they should not be re- strained, but we merely say that if ‘wages are to go without any control, then the controls on the prices of farm commodities shall be in some reasonable proportion to urban wages. : “Bear in mind that urban wages today are at least 280 on the index of 1910 to 1914. It seems to me ob- viously absurd to say in the face of this that a request that farm prices shall not be forced below 120 on the 1910-14 index is not in any degree unreasonable. “Certainly it is not inflationary. It is uncontrolled factors and not con- trolled factors that cause inflation.” Armin;:f Palestine Jews Demanded at Conference By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Jan. 17.—Great Britain should swiftly mobilize and arm “the fighting Jews of Palestine” lest she repeat “the tragic mistakes of Crete and Malay and of other battle areas where foresight might have averted disasters,” Dr. Abba Hillel Silver told the National Con- ference for Palestine tonight. “If Great Britain cannot arm the Jews of Palestine, presumably for lack of equipment, America should,” declared Dr. Silver, national chair- man of the United Palestine Appeal. Asserting that Palestine Jews “should be permitted to form their own military units and to fight un- der their own flag under empire command,” the speaker asked: “Why is Great Britain * afraid of Jewish bayonets? Does it | suspect that these bayonets may some day be employed to back up the righteous demand for a free Jewish Palestine by men who will finally be forced to the conclusion that freedom must be taken when it is not given. There is no fear. The Lion of Judah and the Lion of Tra- falgar and Dunkerque may roar at each other. They will never fight each other.” Resources of facts, information and personnel of the Department of Commerce are being drawn upon heavily by defense agencies of the Government. 60% of Pay Planned For Men Displaced In Plant Conversions White House Conference Discusses Relief Fund of At Least $400,000,000 By the Associated Press. * Plans for a $400,000,000 to $600,000,000 relief appropriation | for workers temporarily dis- | placed by the shift to war-time production came out of a White House conference yesterday, while plans progressed for ex- pediting the conversion process.

GUPTILL, Associated Press Porelgn Corfespondent. BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 17— Acting President Ramon 8. Cas- tillo said tonight that Argentina was prepared to impose rigid re- strictions on Axis nationals to prevent their *sabotaging the American war effort. President Castillo, in an exclusive interview with the Associated Press, also disclosed that the general staff was studying the possibility of using Argentine naval forces in convoy duty. He said that Axis nationals in Argentina could be strictly watched through financial transactions and communications in such a way as to prevent their dealing a “deadly thrust” at American defense. Some diplomatic sources have ex- pressed the view that if Axis diplo- matic agents were so controlled, it would provide a comprotise solu- tion to the proposal to sever rela- tions with the Axis powers. Castillo Is Optimistic. ‘The acting president, speaking in a low, earnest tone, sald he was “optimistic” that the American Foreign Ministers’ Conference in Rio de Janeiro would be a success and reaffirmed Argentina's determi- | nation to play its part in continental | defense. He expressed confidence that the Communique U. S.:Sub Strikes Off Tokio Bay: The Navy Department issued the following communique on the naval situation based on reports received up to 5 p.m. (Eastern standard time) yesterday: Far East. A United States submarine has sunk three enemy merchant ships off Tokio Bay. Admiral Thomas C. Hart has assumed control of Allied naval forces in Far Eastern waters. Enemy submarine activities off the Northeast Coast of the United States continue. There are no further develop- ments to report from other areas.

E-§ E-§ totalitarian threat to the Western | Hemisphere would be eliminated | eventually. | Senor Castillo, who yesterday | complained that Argentina's posi- |tion at Rio de Janeiro had been | misrepresented, received this cor- respondent at his summer home in suburban Martinez. Selecting a secluded corner of the terrace where the breeze swept up from the River Plate in welcome relief after the sweltering heat of | Buenos Aires, the acting president leaned back in a wicker porch chair and the conversation began. The question of a rupture of diplomatic relations with the Axis is “now under study and it would be prejudicial to express any opinion,” he said. Asked whether the Argentine delegation was instructed to con- sider a compromise on the ques- tion of the severance of relations with the Axis, Senor Castillo de- clared that his government was ready to subscribe to “any agree- ment to safeguard the common in- terests in America.” Argentina’s policy_is in complete eement with the-declaration by, hy B;lnmd States Undersecretary of | stroxe, | Btate Sumner Welles rejecting “the Shibboleth of glassic rieutrality,” he said, adding that Argentina gave evidence of this when it declared the United States was a non- belligerent in the war with the Axis. “The conference in Rio de Janeira :hag alirady: achieved an-extraordi~ nary yesult’ in a maoral way by. demonstrating the integral unity of, the Americas,” Senor Castillo said.: “This in itself is a great conquest.

Two Forum Speakers Mead and Ramspeck Will Discuss Problems of Civil REPRESENTATIVE RAMSPECK. Problems faced by civil service with the Nation at war will be dis- cussed by Representative Ramspeck, Demoerat, of Georgia, chairman of the House Civil Service Committee, and Senator Mead, Democrat, of New York, a member of the Senate Civil Service Committee, on the Na- tional Radio Forum at 9 pm. to- morrow. Forum is arranged by The S and is broadcast over the Blue Network. It is heard locally over radio station WMAL. The subject of the joint talk will be “Our Civil Service Problems.” A major one of these, which is | to be discussed by Senator Mead, is the question of whether or not sal- |aries of civil service employes should be raised now to meet the | advanced cost of living. Service on Program SENATOR MEAD. ‘ Another civil service problem, ac- | cording to Representative Ramspeck, |is the difculty in finding com- | petent personnel to take examina- tions for civil service jobs. Mr. Ramspeck also will discuss gen- | Ienuy the improvements made in lcivu service in recent years and | those that remain to be made. Senator Mead has been in the Senate since December, 1938, when he resigned from the House to | move to the upper chamber. | Representative Ramspeck is serv- ing his seventh term in the House since he was named in October, 1929, to fill the unexpired term of the late Representative Leslie J Steele. They are the authors of the new promotion law for Federal em- ployes. ican States, the resolution suggested four plans of action: 1. That the American republics consider these acts as “an immediate threat to the liberty and independ- ence of the Western Hemisphere.” 2. That they “reaffirm their com- plete solidarity and their determina- tion to co-operate closely for their mutual protection until the present threat has completely disappeardd.” 3. That “none of them will be eble to continue maintaining relations, political, commercial or financial, with the governments of Germany, Italy and Japan, and declare that in the full exercise of their sovereign rights will form individual or col- | lective measures corresponding to the defense of the New World.” 4. That the American republics, “before resuming their political, economic and financial relations with the aggressor powers, they will | consult among themselves in order that their decision may have a col- | lective and united character.” The text of the all-embracing | resolution was announced as confer- ence delegations- discussed. at in- formal meetings the momentous issue to how far the other American nations would go in war aid to the | United States.

A proposal to this effect offered by Mexico. Colombia and Venezuela hes been opposed by Argentina. | Senor Aranha, who is chairman | of the Pan American Conference, | told the Associated Press he was surprised the proposal had been published. “I hope to have a statement Mon- day,” he said. “I am. not sure we will succeed by Monday, but we hope to put it through.” Many private talks outside the conference rooms were directed to- ward swinging Argentina to approv- ing severance of diplomatic relations. Chile Veers Away From Break. Earlier, Chile appeared veering toward Argentina’s previous stand against a complete breek. The impression persisted that the Chilean decision would be dictated by her own national interests and geographical considerations, espe- cially in view of her long, exposed Pacific coast line. Chile’s delegation here refused to throw any light on the subject and the Santiago regime’s attitude is not expected to be clarified until debate starts Monday on the resolution sponsored by Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela for a ‘unainmous break with the Axis by all 21 American republics. The resolution declared that Jap- anese, German Italian aggres- sion against the States was part and parcel of thi “concerted plans for world conquest.” Introduced yesterday but mnot made public until teday, the resolu- tion proposed further that Western Hemisphere nations corSult with one another before re-establishing re- | lations with the aggressors. It was | presented by Colombian Delegate Gabriel Turbay orf behalf of the a horseshoe table overlooking a giant relief map of the two American continents made of flowers.

LONDON, Jan. 17.—Striking hard at both the rear and flanks of imperilled Germans before Moscow, the Russians were reported dropping clouds of parachute troops behind the Mozhaisk wedge tonight as Red forces surged forward in a new and smashing gain northwest of the capital. The parachutists were deciared to have virtually cut off the Nazi forces —perhaps 100,000 men—holding Mozhaisk, 57 miles west of Moscow, German lines on both sides of this salient have been bent far back, exposing this last remaining ad- vance position which has held out against the Soviet onslaught.
