The House passed late to day the 1943 agriculture ap propriations bill, carrying a total of $820,065,859 in author ized expenditures and loans. A total of $56,810,722 was cut from the bill in nine days of debate. A last-ditch attempt to restore a $25,000,000 reduc tion in the allotment for the Farm Security Administration met defeat on a standing vote. As finally passed, the measure still carried the controversial clause designed to forbid sale of Government-held crops be low parity prices. (Earlier Story on Page A-2.) By the Associated Press. The House tentatively slashed $25,000,000 from the agriculture appropriations bill today, cutting in half the allotment for admin- j istrative expenses and grants in the farm rehabilitation program. The action on the reduction— j largest single cut thus far in the farm supply bill—came on a teller vote of 142 to 119 as President Roosevelt was reported reliably as considering a veto of the entire measure. Representative Hope, Republican, of Kansas, said the $25,000,000 cut would put the rehabilitation pro gram "out of business.” but Rep resentative Woodrum, Democrat, of Virginia, told the House that ad ministrators of the program "have to advertise to get these people to i come in and take the money” of fered as rehabilitation grants. Mr. Roosevelt was asked earlier at his press conference if progress was being made in controlling in flation. In some ways yes, replied : Mr. Roosevelt, in some ways no, placing in the latter category the House action in writing into the appropriations bill a clause designed to prevent sale of Government-held surplus crops at less than parity. i Anti-Aircraft Shells Scare Wall Street By the Associated Press.

S. Requisitions Scrap Metal Held for Increase in Price Seizure of 100 Tons-at Junk Yard Called First of Kind in Nation By the Associated Press. VALPARAISO, Ind„ March 13.— One hundred tons of scrap metal at Frank Schumak's junk yard were requisitioned by the Government to day in what a Federal official said was the first seizure action of its kind in the Nation. Donald S. Cummings, Indiana field representative of the War Pro duction Board's automobile grave yard section, headed the requisition party, which included A1 W. Hosin ski, deputy United States marshal from South Bend. Mr, Cummings said Schumak re fused to sell his scrap to steel mill buyers at the prevailing ceiling price set by the Office of Price Adminis tration and had been holding out for a premium of more than $3 a ton. Schumak told Mr. Cummings he had held the scrap speculatively "as an investment for my old age.” He offered no resistance when 10 trucks rolled into his yard and work men began loading the scrap. The metal was purchased by the Metals Reserve Co., a Government corpora tion set up to purchase vital metals needed in war production. Mr Cummings said Schumak would be paid the prevailing ceiling price and if he objected, claiming a higher price, he could file a claim with the Court of Claims. The Government men said the prevailing price was 618.75 a ton. The W. P. B. was given authority to requisition scrap supplies by an act of Congress of October 16, 1941. HUBERT J. TREACY, Jr., Slain.

B. Will Allocate Quotas to Paper Mills And Other Users By rhe Associated Press. The Government today took control of the Nation's entire supply of w'ood pulp, effective May 1, under a War Production Board order assuming power to allocate both domestically pro duced and imported pulp to pa per mills and other users. The order is intended "10 conserve supplies and distribute equitably the available pulp between competing war and civilian requirements," W. P. B. said. Nitrating pulp is used for making explosives and military demand is expected to mount steeply this year. Pulp imported from Canada, the principal foreign source of supply, after noon of May 1 will be "frozen'' until released by J. s. Knowlson. W. P. B.’s director of industry oerations. The order affects all types of pulp and all companies, and requires pulp consumers to file monthly sched ules of their orders for the follow ing month. These reports will begin next month. Consumers also are required to file reports on consumption and sup plies on hand and producers must provide monthly statements of their advanced shipping schedules. On the basis of information thus obtained W. P. B. will direct what pulp deliveries may be made. Pro ducers will be required to withhold for "special distribution" a portion of their monthly production to be decided from time to time. The order, officials of the W. P B. pulp and paper section said, is not e«pected to be applied stringently for the first several months. Dur ing that time, however, W. P. B will set up machinery for stringent application when the supply situa tion becomes acute. It is expected tha.t the control will be used to allocate pulp to pa-1 per mills facing shutdown because of the increasing conversion of the industry to nitrating pulp for the Army and because European sup ply sources have been cut off.
