House Report Shows US. Planes
Holding Big Edge Over Enemy
Bring Down Ships Of Foemen at Rate
of2h to l, Horter Group Asserts

and the other is the P-47 Thunder
bolt, fighter.
There is no mention IN the COM
mittee report Of these planes In
action. The Lightning has only
recently been introduced in COM
bat areas and there are no reports
Of the Thunderbolt in action yet.
It is obvious that these two high
flying fighter planes are the types
needed for action in Europe. The
P-39 and P-40 medium altitude
fighters, built for cooperation with
ground troops are of little value in
operations from the English base
for the simple reason that ground
troops are not in action, observers
pointed out.
These latter types have been used
in Africa with ground troops and
the results Of their combat with
German planes Of late design are
included In the box score submitted
by the committee.
The committee explains that, in
preparing its report, it had full in
formation from the Army Air Forces
and heard testimony from flyers
who had used Army craft in battle.
Among those who testified were
1t. Col. Boyd CBuzzD Wagner and
Col. Walter o. Sweeney, jr. Col.
Wagner is the Army's outstanding
ace and has campaigned from the
Philippines to Australia, using both
P-39's and P-40's. Col. Sweeney led
the Flying Fortresses in the battle
Of Midway.
Both men praised American
equipment. COL Wagner said that
American flyers would rather have
P-39's and P-40's than the fragile
Zeros.
The committee also inquired into
accident rates in Army flying. Its
report included letter from Assist
ant Secretary of War for Air Rob-
ert Lovett showing that the accident
rate in 1912 was Is per cent lowe,
than the rate for the 10-year period
from 1880 to 1910.

Decision Denies Cut
In Rent for Firm
Operating al Loss
Must Abide by Terms
Of Lease With ADA,
Controller Holds

The Triangle Parking Center,
Inc, is bound to live up to the
terms of leasing agreement with
the Alley Dwelling Authority for
a parking lot site, Controller Cen
eral Lindsay G. Warren ruled today,
although operations are now being
conducted at a loss in excess of $500
monthly, due to the gasoline ra-
tioning program.
The decision was sent to the ADA
In reply to a recommendation that,
"as matter of equity" the con-
Germ get a so per cent reduction
under the two-year lease which now
calls for rental of $1,000 monthly
for the site at Twentieth, Twenty
first, E and F streets NV. The
lease does not expire until May 16,
1943. John H. Ihlder, executive
officer of the authority, said the
company reported a so to so per
cent decrease in business as re-
suit of the gas situation and that
its gross income is approximatine
$3.50 monthly as compared to rental
of $1,000 and 5000 overhead.
Even though the decrease in the
lessee's volume of business appears
to have been caused by the gaso-
line rationing," Mr.. Warren said
''it cannot be said that such gov
ernmental action constitutes a lega,
excuse not to conform with the
terms of the lease. Gasoline ra.
tioning was instituted by the
United States, not as a contractor
but as a sovereign, and the pro.
gram affects equally all within 1t.
scope.
1T is the established rule thai
the United States as contractor
is not liable to it's acts as a SOY.
ereign, and that individual hard
ship resulting therefrom does not
establish grounds for the relief of 9

Industry, Agriculture
And Labor Leaders
Back Initiation Plan
Three Senators Among
Few Critics Of Price
And Wage Program
BY the Associated Press.

Approval and a desire to cooper
ate with the Presidents executive
order designed to combat imitation
was expressed generally today by
leaders Of industry, labor and agri-
culture who commented on the far
reaching measure.
A number of leaders expressed a
desire to say nothing until specific
points Of the program had been
clarified.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
pledged his union to full co-opera-
ton and added that he interpreted
the wage controls as sterilization
rather than freezing which would
preclude adjustment Of inequities.
C1O President Philip Murray said
he had not had time to study the
measures and was in no position to
comment Immediately.
Farmers to Cooperate.
The only national farm group to
express a view was the National
Grange whose master, Albert s.
Goss, said the. Nations farmers
were ready to Cooperate in every
way" but he said 1t was difficult ito
ascertain as yet how the farm labor
question fits in"
Mr.. Goss said that he interpreted
the new program to mean that the
War Labor Boards powers had been
extended to cover agricultural labor
and he said that if this were true
agriculture would certainly want
representation on the WLB."
Senators Bankhead, Democrat, Of
Alabama, and Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia., criticized the Presidents
stipulation that benefit payments to
farmers be taken into account
through appropriate deductions"
from parity or comparable prices in
setting agricultural ceilings.
w. P. Witherow, president of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, congratulated Congress and
the President "for their serious ef-
fort to combat vicious cycle of in
flation which already had begun,
adding that it would be impossible to
Judge results until administration
had been given q sufficient test.
Move in Right Direction.
Charles R. Rice, president OF
the Chicago Livestock Exchange
described the program as "a move
in the right direction"
"The times call for unusual deci-
sions," he said, "and the President
is not TO be criticized for attempting
to act for the best interests of the
greatest number of people"
Outright skepticism of the pro-
gram came from Senator Walsh
Democrat, of Massachusetts,, who
expressed belief that the bill "falls
far short of the needs CT the hour. y
He said he feared "the upward spiral
In wages and prices will continue. VI
President Alexander F. Whitney OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men described the anti-inflation
controls as q forward step" and ex-
pressed the opinion labor would "dc
its part"
H. w. Prentis, jr., president of the
Armstrong Cork Co., and former
president of the National Associa.
ton OF Manufacturers, said he was
thoroughly in sympathy with the
program, adding its pity it WASN'T
cone months ago." He said he
regretted that a sales tax had moi
been passed as a supplemental,
measure.
