Bill for $40,000,000
To Enroll Land Army
Awaits House Action
Senate Boosts Proposal
By $14,000,000 and
Guards Age Assistance
A bill appropriating *40,000,000 for
an army of workers to help with this
year's crops was awaiting final ap
proval in the House today. The to
tal included an additional *14,000,000
tacked on by the Senate.
The legislation was passed late
yesterday by the Senate on a voice
vote, after a motion by Senator
Lodge, Republican, of Massachu
setts to send the bill to the Agricul
ture Committee was shouted down.
The measure, which is expected to
decrease greatly an estimated short
age of 3,500,000 farm workers, was
first passed by the House, but was
revised by the Senate to permit re
cipients of old-age assistance to draw
pay for farm work without losing
their benefit payments. The Sen
ate also increased the House pro
posal of $26,000,000 to *40,000.000.
Senator Lodge contended the leg
islation might open the door to
large numbers of foreign laborers
and that it first should have ap
proval of the Secretary of State.
Wouldn't Revise Quotas.
Senators Hayden, Democrat, of
Arizona and Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia, Senate sponsor of the bill,
argued that heavy immigration
would be impossible as the measure
does not revise existing immigra
tion quotas.
Senator Russell added that he
believed the proposed land army
would be composed of 85 to 90 per
cent American labor. The chief
source of the remainder, he said,
is expected to be Mexico and the
Caribbean Islands.
Joining opponents of the meas
ure. Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont, co-author of the Austin -
Wadsworth bill to draft civilians for
war work. predicted that a suffi
ciently large group of transient la
bor could not be raised by the vol
untary methods called for in the
bill.
"Not under existing law can you
mobilize men for this work because
they won’t go.” he shouted.
Fear "Super Floaters."
The bill, which other opponents
said might create a large class of
"super floaters” dependent on Gov
ernment funds, supplies, transpor
tation and housing, authorizes the
food administrator to spend up to
$40,000,000 "for assisting in provid
ing an adequate supply of workers
for the production and harvesting
of agricultural commodities essen
tial to the prosecution of the war.”
Up to $20,000,000 would be appor
tioned to State agriculture extension
services for recruiting, training and
placing of workers and for housing;
a maximum of $20,000,000 could be
spent by the administrator for oper
ating personnel and other adminis
traMve expenses and for transpor
tation of workers “within the United
States and elsewhere.”

OPA Reports on Survey
After Lewis' Complaint
By the Associated Press.
The Office of Price Administra
tion has taken cognizance of a re
cent complaint by John L. Lewis
about food prices in Pennsylvania

proximately the same or lower than

meat 367 per cent.
OPA officials said that the check
et Nantyglo covered 49 food items
and soap.

loin steak selling for an average of
48 cents a pound, pork loin chops at,
44 and pork shoulder roasts at 37
cents a pound
The survey also covered eggs, but

Bataan Officer Sure of Final Victory
Editor, The Star:
I inclose the true copy of a
letter written by a young /very
young) officer from Bataan, to
» his family. The young man's
mother sent me a copy of the
letter, asking me if 1 met or saw
him during the battle of the
Philippines. I knew him in Ma
nila before war broke out. His
experiences in battle gave him
a maturity of mind, a philosophy
of life, and a deepened faith
which, made him wise beyond his
years. His letter typifies the
highest character of our Amer
ican youth. I wish all of us safe
at home might, read this letter
on the anniversary of the fall of
Bataan (April 9).
Sincerely yours.
ELIZABETH E. SAYRE.
(Mrs. Sayre, wife of Francis B.
Sayre, Governor of the Philip
pines. escaped with him from the
islands in a submarine a short
time before the fall of Correg- .
idor.)
Feb. 12, 1942.—
“In the Field” (Bataan).
Dear Mother, Dad, and Sister:
This letter may never be delivered.
It will go to Corregidor and there
j wait for transportation. Perhaps
j I'll be able to cable you before it
j arrives. Quien sabe?
About the war I can say nothing.
You back home know more about
it than we do. All we see is our
own little theater of operations. All
I can say is that we are getting
enough to eat, and that I am at
present reasonably comfortable,
moderately happy, and disgustingly
healthy.
Also I am proud to be a part of
the fight that is being made here; j
and would not. even if it were pos
sible, leave here until ft is over
and we have won as we inevitably
will. By "we" I mean my country
m general. Bataan may fall, but
the eventual outcome of the war is
foreordained.
I have seen some horrible things
happen, and have had my share of
narrow escapes, but I have also seen
some very wonderful acts of cour
age, self sacrifice, and loyalty. At
last I have found what I have
searched for all my life—a cause
and a job in which I can lose myself
completely and to which I can give
every ounce of my strength and my
mind. And I have mentally and
spiritually conquered my fear of
death. Pure animal terror—a pro
tective emotion—cannot be entire
ly subdued by the mentality, but it
can, and has been, controlled.
What you—my loved ones—are
suffering I can only guess, but I
know that you are all examples of (
how to face the realities of war, and
are comforters to those who are go
ing through trials, lacking the
spiritual courage that you possess.
My prayer each night is that God
will send you, who are suffering so
much more than I am, his strength
and his peace. During the first few
days of war I also prayed for per
sonal protection from physical
harm, but now I see that that is
something for which I have no right
to ask. and I pray now that I may
be given strength to do whatever I
must do so that those under me
will have every' reasonable chance.
My own prayers give me strength
1 and peace as does the knowledge
that I have yours as well.
Life and my family have been very
, good to me—have given me every- -
thing I really wanted. And should
anything happen to me here it will
not be like closing a book in the
middle as it. would have been had
I been killed in the first few day*
of the war. For in the last two
months I have done a lifetime’s liv
ing, and have been a part of one
of the most unselfish, co-operative
efforts that has ever been made by
any group of individuals.
Some mistakes may have been
made, but that has nothing to do
with the manner in which my com
rades in Bataan—both Filipino and
American—have reacted to their
trial by fire. If the same selfless
spirit were devoted to world better
ment in time of peace, what a good
world we would have. (And “How
dull!’’ I can hear the younger gener
ation muttering.)
The purpose of this letter is to
send you my love and thanks for
just being my family. It is written
with no so-called “premonitions.”
Really, all in all, my chances are
pretty good. Much better than most
of the line officers of my grade and
age. For as I told you many times
in my letters before the war, my
particular job—and it hasn't been
changed—is about as safe a one as
any soldier could have in war time.
So with all my love to all three
of you, I’ll start this letter on it*
way.
“Keep ’em flying”—WEST! and
as the Government has announced,
"No news is good news.”
Your loving son and brother.
TOM.
P. S. Dad was right. He always
said that actually being in a war
is not as bad as reading or hearing
about one. “A man can do what he
must do” is another apt phrase of
his which I’ve never forgotten.

opening up a field for unscrupulous
dealers.
Mr. Herring said today that the
report and committee recommenda
tions will be completed in 10 days
to two weeks. He and others
stressed that Mr. Brown would make
up his own mind on personnel
changes, but some of them Indicated
the administrator was receptive to
reorganization suggestions. These
sources said Mr. Brown has changed
his mind since his first days in
OPA when he expressed hope that
most of the principal aides of Mr.
Henderson would remain.
The changes in personnel do not
mean, Mr. Brown's aides cautioned,
any changes in fundamental OPA
policies designed to hold down the
cost of living or to ration scarce
necessities, but are intended only
to get administrators who are more
likely to be popular and sympathetic
with the public and businessmen.
Dr. Galbraith Mentioned.
While the same sources warned
against assuming that the reorgani
zation will affect any particular in
dividuals, OPA gossip centered on
Dr. J. K. Galbraith, deputy admin
istrator in charge of prices, and
Paul M. O'Leary, deputy for ration
ing. A number of lesser officials
also were mentioned.
Other former Henderson lieuten
ants still in office include John E.
Hamm, senior deputy in charge of
administration; Paul A. Porter, rent
deputy, and Richard V. Gilbert, eco
nomic adviser.. Mr. Hamm already
has resigned, however, and is stay

his successor. Mr. Porter and Mr.
Gilbert were reported by Brown as
sociates to rate highly with the new
administrator.

Chinese troops recaptured a stra

been lost in hand-to-hand fighting
with several thousand Japanese
troops, supported by planes and
tanks. Chinese dispatches said today
in reporting furious engagements
which had been raging for more
than 10 days west of the Tungpu

Chinese flag crowned the summit,
the dispatches added. Three to four

of Paul Porter as administrator of

Addressing delegates. Abraham M.
Sonne bend declared Mr. Porter had
exceeded limitations of his office in
interpreting the regulations.
"I do not think it was the intent
of Qongress that landlords be singled
out for harsh treatment,” declared
Mr. Sonnebend. "Even where regu
lations permit an interpretation fav

such interpretation. * • • I feel
strongly that we cannot hope for
equitable treatment from Paul

Welles' Mansion Deal
Criticized in House
Hoffman Suggests Probe
Of $37,000 Yearly Rent
Representative Hoffman. Repub
lican. of Michigan has suggested to
the House that "some pertinent
questions” should be asked Under
secretary of State Sumner Welles
over the recently announced leasing
of his residence to the Canadian
Women's Army Corps.
Declaring that the reported rent
was $37,000 a year for the Massachu
setts avenue residence, once known
as the Townsend Mansion, Mr.
Hoffman said:
"The question naturally arises
whether the Canadian government
is going to pay the *37.000 annual
rent to our Undersecretary of State
out of lease-lend funds provided
Canada.”
"In addition." Mr. Hoffman con
tinued, "Congress should be informed
by Mr. Welles why this huge dwell
ing. which had lain vacant for sev
eral years despite the desperate
housing shortage in the Capital,
should now be leased to the Cana
dian women's outfit—whereas it was
once barred to American women in
uniform.”
In regard to the American women.
Mr. Hoffman explained that he had
been informed that Mr. Welles re
fused to negotiate with the Navy for
use of the mansion as headquarters
for the WAVES. The legislator also
painted out that when the Canadian
unit comes in June 1. the American
Women's Voluntary Service, which
has occupied the stables of the
estate since December, 1941, will be
ejected.
WLB Request Ends Tie-Up
In Two Birmingham Plants
By the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM. April 9 —A War
Labor Board request apparently
ended today work stoppages at two
Birmingham plants engaged in war
production, but left undecided the
issue of whether workers will be
on a 8 or 7 day week.
Stanley Rounds, international
representative of the ATL Inter
national Association of Bridge,
Structural and Ornamental Iron
Workers, said the men would re
port for work at the afternoon
shift at the Southslde plant of In
galls Iron Works Co., and the Bir
mingham Tank Co., an Ingalls sub
sidiary.
Munro B. Lanier, executive vice
president of the company, asked
i the WLB to clarify its request as
to whether the men should work
6 days or 7. and as to whether the
work day should be 9 hours or 8.
Approximately 1.200 men were af
fected by the dispute which vir
tually halted operations in the two
plants Wednesday.

In the summer of 1941 a Wash

A few days ago he got an im

Service Commission and informed
him that, after due investigation, he
had been found qualified for the po

He was pleased that the commis

approval these many months.

DETROIT, April 9.—Spontaneous
or unauthorized work stoppages
interrupted production of war ve
hicles In two plants of the Ford
Motor Co. here today, affecting
nearly 5,000 workers.
A dispute that started when a
dice game in a lavatory was broken

500 men in a tank-production unit
to stop work at 2:45 a.m.. later

unit.
Nearly all of these employes re

Fourth-Term Angle j
In Stimson Order
Denied by Barkley
GOP Claim Politics Ban
Is Aimed at MacArthur
Described as 'Stupid'
By the Associated Press.
The controversy over the Stimson
ban against Army men seeking or
accepting election to political office
boiled into a steaming debate today
with Majority Leader Barkley de
nying it was designed to insure a
fourth term for President Roosevelt.
"The President of the United
States never saw this order.” Sena
tor Barkley told the Senate late yes
terday In taking cognizance for the
first time of the three-day argu
ment. The Kentuckian also de
scribed as the "quintessence of stu
pidity and quadruple asininity” Re
publican charges that It was aimed
at preventing Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur from accepting a possible
presidential nomination.
(At Allied Headquarters In
Australia, Gen. MacArthur said,
“Let’s get on with the war,” when
he was asked to comment on the
regulation.
(Several months ago. Gen.
MacArthur took cognisance of
continued mention In the United
States of his name as a presi
dential possibility by saying his
one desire was to successfully
prosecute the war.)
Scope Shocks Vandcnberg.
Senator Barkley spoke after Sen- j
ator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan, had expressed shock over
the scope of the regulation—partic
ularly its bar against Army men
"accepting” election to an office not
held before they went on active duty
—and after Secretary of War Stim
son also had denied that he had
Gen. MacArthur or any other indi
vidual in mind when he issued the
order.
Senator Barkley said he was
moved to enter the debate “in view
of the effort that is being made to
create the impression the order was
designed to make it impossible for
somebody to be elected to office.”
Calling criticism of the order
"petty and picayunlsh.” he added:
"The Secretary of War, who, as
everybody knows, is a Republican,1
would have no Interest in such a
step, and in the second place he
is the last man In the world who
would stoop to such a course.”
Something Sinister.
In a retort to Senator Barkley, Sen
ator Vandenberg alluded to the
Bataan anniversary today by re
marking that some of the press had
indicated “something sinister some
where in the past 10 days in can
celling the observation of Bataan
Day.”
While recognizing that the Army
and poltics should be divorced, the
Michigan Senator said if a political
convention decided to draft a mili
tary leader for supreme command of
the Nation there could be no justifi
cation in the War Department order
to “assume it could prevent him
from accepting.”
Senator Barkley declared that as
far back as 1925 Army officers on
active duty had been barred from
seeking election to public office.
In line with this. Army records
showed today it had frowned of
ficially on political activity by its
members for nearly half a century.
Nevertheless there have been devia
tions, the most notable being Maj
Gen. Leonard Wood’s campaign for
the Republican nomination for
President in 1920.
Representative Brooks. Democrat,
of Louisiana introduced in the
House, meanwhile, a resolution sus
pending for the duration of the war
the law requiring the Army to retire
a man when he is 64. Mr. Brooks
said the resolution was aimed at
keeping the Nation's best generals
on duty in the event the conflict is
not ended by the time they reach 64.
Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of
staff, will be #4 December 31, 1944,
and Gen. MacArthur reaches that
age next January 26.
Do yon long to commit the perfect
crime? Murder the Axis by invest
ing in War bonds.
