Wiekard 10 Oppose
100 Per Cent Farm
Parity Crop Loans
Secretary Of Agriculture
Fears Higher Grain Price
Would Cut Other CROPS
By the Associated Pres!

By the Associa ted Press.
Secretary Wickard declared today
that he would oppose proposed legis-
lation authorizing 100 per cent
parity loans for basic farm crops
because he fears it would interfere
with the Agriculture Departments
efforts for a record production of
food next year.
Government loans at IS per cent
Of parity are authorized for this
years production of the basic crops,
which are. cotton, corn, wheat, rice
and tobacco. The rate would be
increased in future years to full
parity under bill recently approved
by the House Agriculture Commit
tee.
THE whole 'food-for defense pro-
gram is based upon the IS per cent
loan level" Mr.. Wickard said in an
interview. "a change in that rate
would upset the program because of
its effect upon corn prices"
Under the food program, farmers
are being urged to produce all they
can Of och products as pork, beef
cattle, mix, poultry, eggs and some
fruits and vegetables, SO that abun-
dant supplies might be available not
only for Americans but for Britons
and others resisting aggression.
Secretary Wickard explained that
corn was the 'fundamental' crop in
the food program. 1t is the most
important feed for hogs, cattle and
chickens. Farmers can be expected
to feed corn abundantly only when
there is margin of profit, he said,
between the price of feed and the
price of livestock, dairy and poultry
products.
The IS per cent loan program,
he added, has tended to stabilize
corn and other feed grain prices
at levels which, on the basis. of pres
ent livestock. poultry and dairy
prices, encourage greater produc-
ton.

found to be true has not been deter
mined.
However, one Government official
who has heard of the reports ex-
pressed the opinion they might have
direct bearing on little known bill
which already has passed the House
and now is being studied by the Sem
ate Commerce Committee
The bill, sponsored in the House
by Chairman Bland of the House
Merchant Marine Committee, pro-
vides that the Federal Communica-
lions Commission shall suspend the
license of any ships radio operator
when the commission, after investi-
cation, has found there is reason
able probability that such operator
Is a subversive individual"
Term in Bill Is Broad.
The term "subversive individual"
as defined by the bill, is very broad
and, while directed primarily at OPP
orators who are members Of, or
sympathetic with, organizations
which advocate the overthrow or
undermining of our form Of Govern
ment, it also specifically points the
finger at any persons who partici-
pate In any combination or con-
spiracy to resist the lawful authority
of the United States"
In making its report on the bill
to the House. Mr.. BANDS commit
tee said: 1T must not be consid-
cred that a large number of radio
operators are subversive individuals
or disloyal. The reverse is the case,
but disloyal radio operators stra-
logically placed may do great dam
age and it is against a menace of
this character that the proposed bill
is designed to guard.
Testimony deduced before your
committee shows that at most there
would be no more than 200 out of
something like 1000. In fact, it ap-
peared from some testimony before
your committee that the numbers
might not be more than $50, and
as to some of them they may be
identified for the purposes of the law
with fairly reasonable dispatch"
Although no one would comment
publicly on the reports being investi-
gated until results of that investi-
CATION are aired, it was said, off the
record, by several in Government
circles that the ships radio opera
tors with whom the clipper opera
tors have had difficulties undoubted-
ly could be found among these $50
or 200 identified In testimony before
BANDS committee as troublemakers,
and "subversive or disloyal."

Byrd, Heading New
Committee, Demands
Budget S|ashing
Seeks New information
On Ways to Cut Funds
For Non-EssentioIs
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Byrd, Democrat. Of Vir-
GINA demanded today that non
essential Federal spending be cut to
the bone few minutes after ne
was elected chairman of new con-
gressional committee created 10
pare Federal expenditures.
Senator Byrd said the first act
of the new group was to ask Budget
Director Harold Smith and Secre-
tary of Treasury Morgenthau Tor
more specific data" on how ordl-
nary Government OUTLAWS might be
reduced $1,000, 100000, $500, 900, 900
or s2,OOO.OOO 900 yearly.
The budget director previously had
furnished the Economy Committee
with a breakdown of these possible
reductions, calling for huge slices IN
Federal farm benefit payments and
relief funds. but Chairman BYRD
said this failed to show lust what
activities in the various agencies and
department would be affected.
This is the first time we have
had the chdlrmen Oh lIle 1oul iii
portant congressional money
committees, the Secretary OF the
Treasury and the budget director all
working together" Senator BYRD
said. 1--WE should be able to get
somewhere
The newly-elected chairman
pointed out that the Federal debt
was only 100000 1000 at the out
break of the first World War COM
pared with nearly $50 900 100000 to-
day and that Congress already had
authorized and appropriated for
national defense public funds twice
as large as the total cost Of the first
World War
Our financial security Is just
as important to our democracy as
our defense security" the Senator
said. adding that the new COM
mittee offers a practical approach
to this problem"
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee was
elected vice chairman of the group.

Moscow Impressive City.
But they have built city in Mos
cow whose sweeping avenues and
ranks Of new buildings take your
breath away. whose factories and
railroad yards in the suburbs are
almost as impressive-and just as
ugly Pittsburgh's. And they
have built them, in 20 years, out OF
nothing.
Nowhere else in the world than on
their collective farms would farmer
from our own Middle and South
west feel at home-for outside of
America these farms are unique in
the world in the breadth of their
conception.
Almost to man, woman and child
they have taught themselves how to
read and write, in itself an under
taking that preoccupied us almost
the whole of the last century. They
have also learned to clothe and feed
themselves on industrial principles
that were as strange to them 20
years ago as ancient Greek is to
men who have never ever seen the
Greek alphabet.
And-for your purposes in apprais-
ing whether they will stick or
whether they won't-they are peo-
pie governed by the only ruling class
in the world that knows-that
knows-that if they lose this war
every man and woman of them will
be dead or hunted for the rest of his
or her life.
Not just their leaders captured
and tortured, like SchuSsnigg, but
every man and woman of the 2,000,-
coo members of the Communist
party, the elf-conScious ruling class
of Russia, killed or driven to earth.
Along with them will go the ablest
other millions to whom they have
trusted the developing and govern
ing of the 40 different peoples who
are joined together in the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics.
These people know that their
rights to their own languages and
their aspirations to equality with
other peoples are irretrievably
doomed if anything happens to the
Soviet state.
For whatever it has imposed upon
them in the RECOMMENDATION of their
activities. it has not only preached
but practiced, respect for their Ian
guage and equality of opportunity
for their citizens-to educate them
selves and their children, to pursue
professional careers or to go into
the government.

Novy's Largest Flying Boat
To Be Launched November 8

Rear Admiral John H. Towers,
chief of the Navy Bureau of Aero
nautics, said today the Nays
largest flying boat will be chris
tened and launched at the Glenn
Martin plane at Middle River, Nd,
November s.
Attending Secretary of the Navy
Knoxs press conference to discuss
an aviation report, Admiral Towers
said he believed that in addition to
the christening and launching the
Martin officials expect to make a
short test hop" on that day. The
ship, with a span of 1ol feet, is the
largest in overall size of any flying
beat ever built in America and is
believed to be the largest in the
world.
The ship will have total full
loaded weight of approximately

Towers. 1.-The builders of the boat

Although Admiral Towers refused
to give an approximate distance the
boat could fly, Martin officials pre-
viously have said it could easily fly
to Europe and return nonstop.
Admiral Towers made report
which said that as of yesterday the
Navy had 1923 pilots available, in

the same date had 5,135 students

A leading filling station owner told

that some residents will be forced to

Wholesalers thought this view too
pessimistic, although one reported
that this area has received just so

consciously go all the way into a
shooting war, perhaps upon two
oceans, or shall it not?'
Earlier, Chairman Connally of the
back at critics of the Roosevelt for
eign policies. labelling as "unWar-
ranted" their charges that the
President was seeking to involve
this country In an undeclared war
through revision of the Neutrality
Act.
The best answer to those charges,
the Texan told reporters, was the
fact that the United States was not
at war.
"If the President had really
wanted to involve this country in
war, he could easily have done so a
year ago." insisted Senator Connally
who is leading the fight for the
pending bill to permit the arnling
of merchant ships and lift the ban
against their entering belligerent
ports.
But Senator Johnson, Republican
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-10-29

of California expressed the opinion
that the Presidents bluntly Vorded
Navy Day speech had aroused new
opposition to the bill, and Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana said
a poll indicated at leasts 40 Senators
would vote agains broadening the
House-approved bill.
Senator Connally remained con-
fdent. however, that the admins
tration could muster a minimum Of
So votes, three more than a ma
jority.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
charged in the Senate yesterday the
Presidents speech Monday night
disclosed that he had "tricked" the
American people and already had
done what he could to plunge this
Nation into a shooting war;
But Senator Connally retorted
that Senator Taft's charges were
"unwarranted" by the facts as he
saw them.
Peace Declarations Recalled.
THE President has repeatedly
stated that he wanted to keep war
away from this hemisphere and he
has kept the country out OF war"
the Texas Senator declared. "Of
course, he is in sympathy with the
free governments resisting Hitler
and is bitterly opposed to the Nazi
philosophy and Hitler's murderous
conquests.
But because he favors asserting
and maintaining American rights
and the rights Of her citizens gives
no one a reason to charge that he
wants to involve this country in
war;
Another who championed the
Presidents position was Senator
Pepper, Democrat, of Florida, who
told his colleagues yesterday that If
the present desperate effort to save
Americas peace" should fail, he
knew of nothing else to which we
can resort, other than a naval war"
Senator Clark, Democrat, OF
Idaho, an opponent of the admin
istration's foreign policies. jumped
up to ask Senator Pepper if he was
prepared to vote for a constitu-
tional declaration Of war" to defeat
Hitler.
Eyes, I would" Senator Pepper
replied, adding that he first wanted
to give methods short of war fair
trial"
Would Senator Pepper vote to
send an American Expeditionary
Force to Europe, if that was neces-
sary to crush Hitler, Senator Clark
asked.
Replying that he would, the Flor
ida Senator said he did not believe
that would be necessary.
