President Is Silent
On Veto Possibility,
Discussing Farm Bill
Action on Parity Looms
To Hinge on Inclusion
Of Gosh Benefits
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt asserted to-
day that one of the prime consid-
erations when he weighs legislation
to provide loans up to 85 per cent
of parity on farm products would
be whether cash benefits received
by the farmer were being figured in.
Cotton farmers, he said, are get
ting about 2A cents in cash bene-
fits toward parity price of Is to
1872 cents a pound. If that is added
to the market price of perhaps 10l4
cents, Mr.. Roosevelt said, the farm
er is getting 13 cents pound, which
is better than he has received since
about 1924.
In any bill providing for a price
pegging loan of IS per cent, the
Chief Executive told a press con-
ference, you have got to figure
whether that IS per cent takes into
consideration the benefits the Gov
eminent is paying out anyway. If
you don't, he said, prices to farmers
are apt to go above parity.
Congress Approved Loans.
The House and Senate. by top
heavy majorities, have passed a
bill to provide loans on five major
crops at IS per cent of parity. Parity
is defined as prices giving farm
products the relative purchasing
power. in terms of non-farm COM

Flight Of Hess Gives
Sign R. AT. Bombs
Push Airdromes Back
Stortine Point Hints
Nuzi Withdrawal to
Less Efficient Ronqe
BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON.

Regardless of what the British
may learn from Rudolph Hess, his
strange flight from Augsburg to
Scotland in itself may be evidence
of a fact of the most vital interest
and concern to all England-that
increasing British bombings are
driving German combat aviation far
inland from its airports near the
British Channel.
British attacks on German air.
dromes in occupied France and the
Lowlands have been persistent, vi
cious and effective as the British
air strength grows. British night
fighters are making a practice of
tracking Nazi raiders back to home
airdromes, shooting them down as
they are in the act of landing and
then bombing and machine cunning
the airdrome.
There can be no doubt, according
to observers here. that such tactics
have resulted in the abandoning by
the Germans of many airdromes in
large area nearest to England.
Transfer of operating bases farther
inland would greatly increase the
difficulties of the Luftwaffe in carry
ing out regular operations against
England, particularly large-scale
mass operations.
This may be one reason for the
increasing intervals of time between
the great mass attacks on England,
it is argued by observers. One of
the prerequisites for a continuous
all-out, sustained bombing effort by
a short-range force like the Luft-
waite is a plentiful supply of air
dromeS at the closest possible range.
To conduct operations from a greater
distance means either that tenn
porary emergency airdromes must
be set up despite the dangers of ex-
posing them to the enemy, or that
longer periods between mass at
tacks must be provided for the over
hauling of aircraft. the handling of
greater supplies of fuel and the
resting of crews.
Hess took on from Augsburg,
which is 500 miles from the English
coast, and as the world now knows,
was some 300 miles from his landing
place in Scotland, near the extreme
range limit 'of his Messerschmitt
.tWo-engined fighter.
There can be no doubt that the
plane he used was one of the regular
Nazi combat ships which had been
engaged in regular operations.
Bullet marks were found on it after
its crash landing in Scotland, but
there is no evidence that its pilot
was fired on during his flight. The
supposition is that the plane was
one which had been engaged in
combat and had not yet been COM
pletely repaired.

Rooches-Not Nuzis
Called Principal
Menace to Capitol

Cockroaches, not Hitler's
armed forces, are the princi-
pal menace to Capitol Hill, the
House was told yesterday.
There is not so much to
fear that Hitler will invade the
Capitol as there is about the
cockroaches walking off with
it" Representative Bender, Re-
publican, of Ohio declared in
making a plea for appropria-
ton of funds for determination
of the bugs in the Capitol and
old House Office Building.
I'VE need a general house
cleaning to get rid of these
pests that are so disturbing
and so distressing" he said.
Mr.. Bender reported seeing
at least so cockroaches scurry
off towels in his Office and dis
appear behind a washbowl.

Two Bombers for Britain
Damaged by High Wind
Ply the Associated Press.

fy tnt hSSOoaateu Press.
DALLAS, May l6.-Five airplanes,
including two bombers bound for
Great Britain, were damaged at the
Municipal Airport yesterday. A high
wind drove two planes owned by the
Dallas Aviation School out of con-
troll on the landing field.
One of the schools ships, attempt
ing takeoff, was whisked by the
gale into a bomber, breaking its
glass nose with wing tip. Then 1t
caved in the wing of another British
plane nearby.
The second training ship plunged

But on agricultural benefits, and
parity payments, the President said
that there was a fertile field for
consideration.
Asks ito Be Shown"
In connection with suggestions
for reducing non-defense expendi-
lures by $1,000 100000. Mr.. Roosevelt
remarked caustically that some peo-
pie said it was so easy to cut, but
that they said it was none of their

business when they were asked
where the cuts could be made. That,
he said, was beautiful game.
Primarily, he declared, it is the
responsibility of the people who say
it can be done to show how.
Doesn't that include Secretary
Morgenthau?" he was asked.
No, he said, it's up to people in
the House and Senate who say the
saving can be made. He would like
to hear from them, he said

modities, they had in 1909-14.
Sponsors have said crop control
benefit payments would be in addi-
ton to such loans, pushing farm
income close to 100 per cent parity.
Whether his remarks implied
possible veto of the loan legislation,
the President did not say.
He got into the subject of parity
and loans when he was asked
whether he had any ideas where a
81 600, 900, 900 saving could be effect
ed in non-defense Government
spending.
The President said he would like
to have some suggestions from pro-
ponents of that theory, including
newspapermen and members of
Congress.

Suggestions Analysed.

Reporters suggested that he ask
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-

81 ,000, 100000 slash. They went on
to say that the Secretary had men,
toned the possibility of cutting
down on appropriations for the
C. c. c., N. Y. A. and benefit pay
ments to farmers.
Analyzing these in turn, Mr..
Roosevelt started with the N. Y. A,
which he said was turning out
large number of men and women
who were being taught to be useful
in defense industries. If the N. Y. A.
funds we're cut they would have TO
be taught through some other ap-
preparation, he said.
