STERILIZATION

Both Houses Have COm= panion Bills; Only Three
 Main Differences
BY JOHN R. BEAL

 Washington, Sept. 19 - (UP) = President Roosevelt's demand on Congress for broad powers to stab- ilize wages and agricultural prices prevailed in both Houses today.
 Temporarily defeated in attempts to write into the pending anti-in- flation legislation a new parity def milton which would give them a higher minimum ceiling for farm crops, farm bloc leaders conferred on the wisdom of continuing the fight when the bills go to the floor in the Senate and House next week.
 Working steadily under you-do- it-by-Oct.-1 or = I will ultimatum from MT. Roosevelt, the banking and currency committees of both Houses late yesterday reported com panion bills, equally broad in scope and differing only in three main particulars.
 The Senate bill will be brought lup on Monday the House bill on
 Both direct the president to stab ilize. all prices, wages and salaries. The Senate measure named Sept. IS as the stabilization base while the House bill picked Aug. 15. DrafterS said it made no difference.
 Main differences were:
 1. The House bill directed the president to follow the WLB's little steep formula in stabilizing wages. This permits increases to- taling 15 per cent over the levels of Jan. 1, 1922, to compensate for theN rise in the cost of living since then. The Senate bill left the formula entirely to presidential regulation.
 2. The Senate bill directed MT. Roosevelt to issue a general stabili- zation order lon or before Nov. l." which Sen. Prentiss M. Brown, D., Mich, asked reporters to note was before the election. This provision, sponsored by Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., was in the nature of a counter-ultimatum. The House bill carried no such deadline.
 3. Both bills carried floor" for agricultural prices, begging them through government loans at 90 per cent of parity instead of 85 per cent as at present. but the house bill proposed to continue the begging for three years after the war.

|NAzIS MURDER 1.16 HOSTAGES
Launch Expressive Pro. gram to Retaliate for
 Theater Bombing
BY JOHN A. PARRIS United Press Staff Correspondent

NCAAVCu 1ICSS 6G6A NOITCSVOIAuCukt
 London, Sept. 19-(UP)-A new German oppressive campaign in the Paris area was precipitated when patriots bombed a movie theater re- served for German soldiers and killed one German and wounded 30, a United Press Vichy dispatch re- vealed today.
 The bomb was thrown through a side door of the Rex theater, in the main boulevard area opposite the offices of the newspaper Matin.
 By German orders, 5,500,000 French p ,ople in the Paris area are to be confined to their homes be- tween p. m. and midnight tomor- row.
 Vichy dispatches revealed last night that already 116 patriots had been slaughtered by the Ger mans in reprisal for recent sabo- tage and that others had been de- ported to Germany as Communist agents in the pay of Great Britain" !" It was indicated that all 1-6 patriots were innocent hostages, as were those deported. They would hardly have escaped with their lives if the Germans really belived them to be in British pay.
 In announcing the executions, the deportations and the decision to keep the entire Paris population indoors for nine hours, German authorities admitted 8 new outbreak of patriot activities after weeks of comparative calm.
 The Germans announced that starting at p. m. Sunday all tra6 fic would be suspended in the entire Paris and Seine department area. Nobody will be permitted in the streets except physicians, police men and f1remen until midnight.
 The German action made it necessary for all theaters and mov- ieS to close and for sports authori- ties to cancel numerous Sunday football matches.
 It was believed that a special Vichy council of ministers called for today under Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, chief of state, might consider the new German drive.
 Pierre Laval, Vichy chief of gov- erament, returned to Vichy last night after two days in Paris where he consulted the Germans.

Reds Claim to Have Driven
 Nazis From Hill in Suburbs
SITUATION IS STILL
 TERMED VERY ACUTE
Germans Using Fresh Re- Inducements to Wear
 Down Red Resistance
BY M. s. HANDLER

United Press Staff COrrespOndentl
 Moscow, September 19. (UP) - Soviet air reinforce ments arrived today to beat off sWarms of German bombers assailing Stalingrad, while the Russians drove the enemy back from a vital hill in the northwestern suburbs. The fighting men of Stalir- grad, meeting in groups on all sectors amid a rain of shells and bombs, took oaths to defend their city to the last man.
 The fighters plane reinforcements followed fresh attachments of Si- berian troops who had been brought across the Volga River and thrown into the battle.
 The hill that the Russians xes captured, after five-t1our battIes controls river crossings (presuniably of the Volga) and the center of Stalingrad.
 Planes 1n Attack
 BoTnbers as well as fighters were brought up to aid the defense and were delivering increasingly heavy attacks on German positions and communications.
 But front-line dispatches emha- sized that the situation was moro acute, and said the fighting now was for the city itself. The Germans also had brought up aerial rein forcements, from as far away as Africa.
 "On the northwestern outskirts of Stalingrad, fierce fighting con- tinued," the Soviet noon con1muni- que said. "One of our units re- pulsed several German attacks and destroyed four tanks, three anti- tank guns and wiped out more than 200 Hitlerites.
 "The Germans repeatedly attempt- ed to attack our positions defending one important objective (apparent- ly the hill0 Our men with hand grenades in fierce hand-to- hand fighting destroyed six German tanks and ITO Hitlerites. The Germans were compelled t retreat"
 Battle On 10th Day
 The battle of Stalingrad proper was in its 10th day, considering that it began when the Germans opened a general assault on every sector. The battle in the far and near ap- breaches lasted for weeks.
 The Soviet Army organ, Red StaEb emphasizing the gravity of the sita uation, said the German high come mand continually was throwing ia fresh achievements and trying t@s wear the Russians down with unin~ terrupted attacks.
 Stalingrad itself was the 1ronks but circumstances were particularly acute on the northwestern 0ut- skirts, where the Germans were making their greatest efforts so crumble the defenders positions --- half demolished walls, houses and street barricades.
 Red Star reported bloody hand-t0a hand fighting in the streets ans small battles for every house.
 Another Penetration
 The Russians officially ackn0wls edged last midnight another pene tartion of the streets of northwest Stalingrad. It was the third psnes tartion since Wednesday. The first two had been wiped out.
