My country shall defend,
Until the very end.
I'll fight Nazism and such,
For we Americans don't like
dictators much.
From Europe lets stay clear,
The price would be very dear;
On our own shores we'll stand,
And defy any man.
If the waters we have to cross,
Well show Hitler who's boss;
But lets remain peaceful and
free,
For people like you and me.

politicians The only trouble we've
had is with fellows who were being
pressed. And I don't blame them
for pressing u.s."
At another point, Mr.. Henderson
said:
Don't get the idea I haven't had
hell of lot of fun these last few
weeks. I've had a great deal Of
fun, but not fiendish fun"
Mr.. Henderson said he had made
two forecasts some time ago.
"One of these was that price CELL
ings would work. The other was
that in a few months I would
be the most unpopular man in
America. I haven't reached the
zenith of unpopularity yet, but I've
made a good start"
The price administrator said he
would announce soon the method
of offsetting increased transporta-
ton costs of gasoline brought to the
East Coast. He implied it would
not be in the form of a substantial
gas price increase which would
only add to the cost of living and
impede the war effort" He advo-
Gated q subsidy of $4,000, 900 to
cover added transportation charges
This would be far cheaper in the
end than a price rise to the con-
sumer, he added.
Sugar Storage Problem.
In regard to sugar, Mr.. Hender-
son said there was a supply of
sugar offshore-and plenty of it,
but the transportation problem was
so acute there was little likelihood
of rationing regulations being light
ened in the near future. Sugar
presents an acute warehouse and
storage problem, he continued, since
it now comes "in big gobs" and not
IN tne Sleacy now IL arrived Wnen
the seas we're clear.
Mr.. Henderson said the greatest
threats to price stablization are un-
controlled agricultural prices and
wage increases. He said the facts
are wages have not been stabilized
and rather than IAN easing of pres
sure on agricultural prices there are
several persistent proposals which
would mean the cost of living would
rise"
Subsidy legislation and funds to
make payments to hold prices at
March levels are badly needed, Mr..
Henderson stated. adding that "our

guest artist with the Century and

siege or assault that stronghold
which hurled back every Axis at

eight months it was isolated. The
strong defense works at the port
continued to threaten the Axis rear
The British also were consolidat-
ing their new positions, much nearer
their supply bases, after withdraw
ing and getting into the strongest
possible positions for both defensive
and offensive action.
Similar Situation.
Military experts said the situation
is similar to that OF last year, Just
before Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck
started his offensive which drove
the Axis half way to Tripoli before
stalllng at Ell Agheila.
CThe German high command
said German and italian troops
are carrying on the attack and
pursuit of the enemy. Several
hundred prisoners were taken
and important supplies captured
The Italians said Tobruk was
bombed)
While critics in London clamored
Tor parliamentary debate on the
latest British defeat, it was disclosed
that the turning point in the fight
came one week ago, when a large
British tank force ran into an am
bush of the effective German ga
millimeter guns.
The British were attacking the
German Goth light armored division
when a radio message-possibly
faked-was flashed from the posi-
ton of the British 5Oth infantry di-
vision. The German 18th armored
division closed in and chased the
British into the trap. Losses were
believed unusually high.
Raj Attacks Planes.
The Raj, which has shared a
great burden of the battle, ranged
wide over the Mediterranean attack
Ing Martha in Rhodes and Gambia
in Crete. Both would be likely
jumping of places for an Axis drive
through nearby Turkey on the Near
East.
British fighters also supported
land forces in. the battle zone and
bombed the chief Axis air base at
Tmimi and the supply port of Ben
gasi. Other fighters turned back
bombers last night which attempted
to attack supply lines leading along
the North African coast. Six Brit
ish planes were lost.

Henderson Offers to Resiqn
To Assure Price Subsidies

is to allow the increased costs of
production and transportation be
added to prices paid by consumers.
Mr.. Henderson said he had pro-
posed enabling legislation through
which I'VE could take our troubles
to the RFC" That agency actually
would furnish funds for the subsidy
The OPA budget request makes no
provision for subsidies.
In the matter of working out
solution to the increased gasoline
transportation situation. Mr.. Hen
derson said he would talk 1t over
with members of the Senate and
House Banking and Currency COM
mittees.
Wants Tax at Source.
Another essential, Mr.. Henderson
said, to successful price regulation
program is very heavy tax pro-
gram. And more than that, a tax
collection scheme which would dip
into current wage payments" He
added there is nothing in the tax
bill before Congress that would re-
duce the danger of imitation ma
terially.
In contrast to rumors regarding
the huge personnel staff OPA plans
to build up, Mr.. Henderson an
nounced that only 5000 paid en-
ployes will be hired to handle the
enforcement end of price control and
rationing. OF this numbe.-, $500
will be examiners. Rumore have
placed as high as 100000 the num-
Der of enforcement men and paid
local administrative officers OPA
plans to engage.
Our program is not geared like
the Gestapo," Mr.. Henderson ex-
planned. 1T is geared to explain the
law to the people in the belief that
85 to 80 per cent of them will COM
ply readily"
Eventually. he said, OPA probably
will have upward of 2,500,0OO volun-
teer workers who will be used for
registrations, information and other
purposes.
MI. Henderson indicated that
OPA eventually might take over
much OF the Work Projects Ad-
ministration's field personnel in es-
tablishing OPA's regional setup.

WPA program would leave Office
