LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE British

government request to stay at home

saved and so railroads could be kept

Germany Takes Steps
To Preserve Order
In Occupied Norway
Commissioner Empowered
To Declare Stote
Of Emergency

By the Associated Press.
OSLO, German Occupied Norway,
Aug. 2.-Reich's Commissioner Jo-
seph Terboven was empowered to-
day to declare a state of emergency
backed by authorization for sem
tences Of death or Imprisonment
to preserve public order, security
and economic life in Norway.
The conquered nation has
reached a decisive phase" through
development of the war and the
foreign political situation, it was off,
cially explained, and Terboven,
therefore, was granted the power TO
meet any exceptional civil situation
promptly and effectively.
Norway was long regarded as
likely springboard for a Nazt
attempt to invade Britain after
German troops landed there
April 9, 1910. Now she may have
become a source of concern to
Berlin as a possible foothold for
a British expeditionary force. It
Is 320 miles across the North Sea
from Aberdeen, Scotland, to
Stavanger
Several times this year the
British have struck at the Ger
man objectives in Norway-twice
with spectacular effect. And even
while the bulk of Adolf Hitler's
field armies are engaged on the
Russian front, Scandinavian re- J
ports have told of feverish ac-
tivity by the Germans to rein.
force west coast bases, construct !
new air fields and withdraw
civilians.
(Only last Wednesday British
naval planes hit four supply !
ships, bombed the / .460-ton Ger !
man warship Bremse and pound !
ed harbor works at the Arctic
port of Kirkenes, Norway, the
British said. On March the
British and Norwegian allies sank
IL ships. captured 225 prisoners
and destroyed a fish oil plant in
a raid on Norway's Lofoten Is
landsD
The official announcement did not
indicate whether Terboven intended
to use his new powers soon.
However. it was decreed that all
radios in the costal region of the
Skagerrak and North Sea from the
Swedish border to Alesund-the en-
tire zone directly facing the British
Isles-and in five strategic cities as
far north as Arctic Tromsoe must
be delivered to German occupation
authorities.
Morning newspapers in Stock
holm, Sweden, reported that Ger
man police had taken over all
power in Norway and that a state
of civil siege had been pro-
claimed. The Scandinavian radio
said Thursday night it had re-
ceived information of a clash Of
Alesund civilians with German
marines in a vain attempt to halt
deportation of about 10 Nor
wegian hostages
Oficial sources empha sized that
the state of emergency differed from
a military state of siege which. prac-
tically speaking, exists in all oc-
cupied regions. The former is adj
ministered py civil authorities, the
latter by the military.

Senate Bloc Demands
Placing Of Floor
Under Farm Prices
Smith Says Congress
Will Reject Measure
In Present Form
By the Associated Press.

The administration price control
bill was countered yesterday by a
demand from some farm State Sen
ators that a floor" be placed under
farm prices If ceiling" was i'm
posed by. the legislation.
Chairman Smith said the Senate
Agriculture Committee was unani-
mously opposed to any price fixing
that did not fix a floor as we'll as
ceiling"
Others, including Senator Capper,
Republican, of Kansas; Gillette,
Democrat, of Iowa; Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Okla, and Stewart, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee, said they agreed
that If Congress was to fix a maxi
mum price limit on things the farm
er sells, it also should protect him
by a minimum.
The price fixing bill, introduced
Friday in both branches Of Con-
gress, would authorize the Presi-
dent to establish maximum prices
for commodities and for rents in
defense areas, but. in existing form,
would give no control over wages
or utility rates. Under its terms
he could, require licenses for en-
gaging in transactions coming with
in the scope of the proposed law,
but such licenses would not be re-
ouired for distribution OF news
papers, books and other printed
matter.
Would Set Up Appeals Court.
An emergency court OF appeals
to which sellers could take appeals
from the regulations would be set
up, the court composed of three

Judges named by the chief justice
of the United States,
The bill designates the price levels
of July 20 as the basis for determin-
ing price ceilings.
"We1l fight to have the floor in
cluded," Senator Smith said. Price
fixing is a dangerous business and l
don't believe Congress will approve IT
in the present form"
Some Senators said that a big con-
cession to the powerful bipartisan
farm bloc was put into the measure
bv fixing the minimum ceiling for
farm commodities at ITO per cent OF
parity, or the prices of July % II
they were higher.
These sources said the original
draft fixed farm prices ceilings at
moo per cent parity, which is the
price level computed to give a farm
product relatively the same pur-
chasing power it had in the pre-war
period of 1904.
Trouble for Bill Seen.
There were other indications OF
trouble for the bill, among them
the announcement of Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio, that he would
demand amendment to provide that
price control be administered by a
board. The present form of the bill
would permit the President to dele
gate fixing authority-persumably to
Leon Henderson, now heading the
Ofice of Price Administration and
Civilian Supply in the o. P. M.
Chairman Steagall of the House
Banking Committee arranged tenta-
lively to start hearings on the
measure tomorrow. At the other SIDE
of the Capitol it was said that some
members of the Senate Banking
Committee, who also are members
of the Finance Committee, would
be busy for some time on the new
tax bill and therefore hearings by
that committee might be delayed.
