Trip Kept Secret.
The secret" of the Presidents
trip was known to most of the
Nations newspapermen and to
thousands of persons who saw him
on his travels, but at the request
of the Once of Censorship, news
about his activities during the two
weeks has been withheld from pub
lication or any mention on the
radio.
Representatives of the three press
associations who accompanied Mr.
Roosevelt are the only newspaper
men with first-hand knowledge of
all the details of the tour. Their
stories were being withheld from
publication until after the Presi-
dents press conference later today
Representatives of The Star and
other individual newspapers were
denied direct access to the news of
the Presidents trip. Their only
source of information about it Is
supposed to be what the President
tells them in his scheduled press con-
ference and the oflcial handouts
from the White House executive
ofi1ce.
The official White House an
nouncement is the only news about
the Presidents trip which may be
published for the time being under
the censorship regulations. During
Mr.. Roosevelt's absence from Wash

ceived many secondhand accounts

Depletion Of Farm Labor
IS Serious in New Enqland
B, tie Associated Press.

B, tie Associated Press.
BOSTON, Oct. Estimating
that skilled New England farm labor
had been depleted by at least so
per cent as a result of the war, Mil
ton c. Allen, secretary of the New
England Councils Committee on
Agriculture and Forestry, said to-
day that unless steps to remedy the
situation were taken at once this
section might face l943 food short
age.
A recent survey of the farmers
problems in this and the other five
New England States indicated. he
said, that while the market garden
farmers managed to carry on with
the aid of students this season, dairy
farmers found themselves unable to
cope with the growing shortage.
The dairymen have been espe-
cially hard hit" Mr.. Allen asserted.
so much so, in fact, that many of
them had to sell out or reduce their
herds by slaughter. I know one fel-
low who reduced his herd from 900
to 200 cows because he just couldn't
get help"
The farming problem in New Eng
land, Mr.. Allen pointed out, lis not
alone for the farmer-it is one that
vitality affects all of us. Since last
spring there has been a drop Of
from 50 to IS per cent in skilled
manpower on Vermont's farms and,
to my mind, those figures might be
considered as being typical of the
other New England States"

or nearly IS per cent Of the original
estimate of the entire cost. Access
roads, bridges, parking lots and
landscaping will cost $20,547,457, he
said, on a building which, including
these facilities, was to cost $685.

461, ,410 spent by the War Depart
ment, $e,534,000 spent by the Public
Roads Administration and $2,372,.
600 for landscaping.
Mr.. Engel then discussed the three
contractors who were given the job
at fixed fee OF $524,000. He ques-
toned what service Doyle and Rus
sell and the Wise Contracting Co
did to earn fixed fee of $500, 900.
The Pentagon Building, Mr.. Engel
told the House, covers AZ acres OF
ground with 152 acres of floor space
The ratio of labor to material, he
said, is labor 56 per cent and mate
rial A per cent. The engineering
cost was 81 ,538, ,708, he said.
Mr.. Engel told his colleagues that
number of the reports used in
his speech were marked "confiden-
tial" or sent to him by letter which
stated that the information was
'Qonfidential." The breakdown on
floor space was not marked conf
dential' originally, but Army OFF,
cials called him and stated that the
public relations division of the Army

Same Rentals Not Assumed.
''In suggesting the use Of the
date method, Congress did not as
sumo that all landlords were receiv-
ing the same rate of return or that
each landlord was receiving an 'ade-
quate., or fair rate Of return" Mr..
Henderson declared Nor was 1t

were those of Mary J. Mccormick
Of Belmar. N. j.: Maloney Land &

cisco.
In the Belmar IN. JD case the
owner protested the fact that the
area rent director, even if he were
to rule favorably on petition for
upward adjustment Of rent. had no
authority under the act to make
the rent increase retroactive to the
date when it was cut by Govern
ment order. Mr.. Henderson pointed
out that in the interest OF auto
matte enforcement Of rent ceilings
tenants must be encouraged and
urged to pay no more than an easily
ascertainable amount"
Expensive Units Affected.
The protest of Maloney Land g.
Improvement Co. involved 49,
room, 2-garage house built for sum-
mer use by wealthy persons The
company contended it should be ex-
empt from price ceiling because
rents for such summer homes were
not increased as a result Of defense
activities.
Mr.. Henderson held that Congress
had recognized that when the hous-
ing pressure became severe enough
infationary rent increases would ex-
tend to even the most expensive
dwelling units"
Mr.. Taylor attacked the constitu-
tionality of the Price Control Act
and the rent regulations issued un-
der it. M Henderson merely noted
that he was compelled to accept
the act as valid, congressional
enactment in the interest OF national

Railroads Problems
In War Emergency
Told 10 Shippers
New Equipment Needed
Constantly to HondIe
Huge Loads, Belts Says
Hy the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. IL. M. Belts OF
the Association of American Rail-
roads told the Midwest Shippers
Advisory Board today that con-
stantly mounting records of pas
senger and freight performance
may easily promote the false be-
lief that there is no limit to railroad
plant capacity"
In an address to the shippers, Mr.
Belts asserted that "only by con-
tinuous addition Of new equipment
as well as by repair of fixed plant
and rolling stock, can railroads
maintain the adequacy of service
essential to a successful prosecution
of the war and the preservation of
the civilian economy"
Mr.. Belts, who is manager Of the
railroad relations section OF the
car service division of the associ-
alton, said that for the first time in
four years there have been no pre-
dictions this fall OF an impending
railroad car shortage.
Warning Is Explained.
He continued:
Yet the railroads are handling
more business and wearing out their
rolling stock at faster rate than
ever before, and are nearer the point
of exhaustion of these facilities than
they were when so much alarm was
being expressed.
This statement must not be dis
torted into prediction Of a short
age of transportation this fall. Def
nitely no serious difficulty will oc-
cur. It Is warning that the rail-
roads cannot continue to produce
new high records for both freight
and passenger service without neces-
sary additional locomotives and cars
and materials for maintenance of
existing facilities"
Railroad passenger business this
year, Mr.. Belts said, would be near
ly double the 1910 figure and close
to the record established in 1920. He
said the ability of the railroads to
meet all of the transportation de-
mands of war and commerce thus
far, was due largely to increased op-
Grafton efficiency and cooperation
on the part of the Government and
those who use the railroads.
Eastman Sends Message.
A message from Joseph B. East
man, director of the ONCE of De-
fense Transportation, which was
read to the shippers, also cautioned
against complacency concerning
transportation.
IT cannot tell you when the maxi
mum load will fall on the carriers,
how big it will be, or what difficult
ties will be encountered in carrying
It," Mr.. Eastman's message said
But I do feel sure that the peak
has not yet been reached, that the
difficulties will multiply and that
the situation with respect to critical
materials is such that we can expect
only q very limited expansion OF
facilities"
