Philip Murray, president of the
CIO, said today. that labor must
vigorously oppose" rigid freezing
OF wages, while Chairman Smith
OF the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee took just as firm q stand
In demanding a higher definition
OF parity for farm prices.
Mr.. Murray said freezing of wages
through the pending anti limitation
bill would destroy morale Of Amer
ican workers" Sterilization with
relation to living costs, he added,
should be the goal.
Senator Smith said he had q ma
jority of the Agriculture Committee
back of him in his stand that the
bill should redefine parity to include
farm labor costs as a factor.

to views of a majority of House
Banking Committee members who
were reported ready to scrap the
higher parity provision in pending
bill by Chairman Steagall.
Date Changed to September Is.
The Senate Banking Committee
agreed today to revise the anti-in-
f1ation legislation to authorize and
direct President Roosevelt to stabi-
lize prices, wages and salaries as OF
September IS levels as far as prac-
ticable.
Previously the measure would have
fixed an August Is date as the goal
for stabilizing prices and earnings.
Senator Brown, Democrat, of
Michigan said the general effect of
the action was to permit farm prices
to go somewhat higher than if the
earlier date had been retained. He

Grocers Say Serious Shortage
Of Canned Food Is Likely Here
Blame OPA Decision to Postpone
Adjustment in Price Ceilings

Some canned goods from last
years pack remain on grocer's
shelves but the selection is not
large. Hundreds of items familiar
to housewives have already disap-
peared from the market. -
In announcing in early August
that grocers would be given a new
pricing formula, OPA stated the
action would take place by mid
September. A meeting was held
here this week between the Ma
tional Food Industry Committee and
War Production Board and OPA
representatives. Outlines Of the
proposed regulations were explained.
Some wholesale grocers have said
OPA must grant price increases
ranging up to 20 per cent If they
are to be enabled to handle certain
goods at profit. OPA has not
stated how much more the con-
sumner will have to pay for canned
vegetables. The agency, however,
recently lifted the price of canned
fruits more than Is per cent.

william C. Coleman to serve 6l2
years In prison on charges OF
illegally wearing an Army off,
GERS uniform, failing to register
as an alien, posing as an Ameri-
can citizen and possessing in
sigma of an Army Air Forces

Kruger was arrested recently by
Montgomery County police, who
said he had been seen on several oc-
casions in woodlands around the
Burnt Mills filtration plant which
supplies water to quarter OF
million persons in that area.
Served in U. S. Army.
K. Thomas Everngam, Govern
ment prosecutor, told Judge Cole
man that Kruger came to this
country in 1923 and that he had
served in the United States Army
twice.
Kruger told the court of myste-
rious stranger who said he must
obey all orders if he wanted his
family and children to grow up"
He also said that he was warned
that failure to obey instructions
would bring harm to his mother and
relatives in Germany.
Kruger said he didn't know the
mans name, but got his instructions
by telephone. His first contact with
the unknown caller was several years
ago when Kruger lived at Falls

'Long Record of Fraud"
While there he received a Nazi

but turned it over to the FBI
Kruger said j. Edwar Hoover, FBI

to pick up a man and drive him to
the woods near the filtration plant
He said his passenger carried a
small square object resembling a
camera into the woods
Judge Coleman said he had i'm
posed maximum sentence because
Krueger's "life is long record OF
fraud of one kind or another.
Whether or not you are in fact
tied up with some other sinister in
fiuences, your record is so bad that

receive the maximum penalty on
each count Of the indictment

BATTLE TESTED
 PLANES AID IN AIR TRAINING
BY SANDOR $. KLEIN United Press Stan Correspondent ]

Washington, July 8 - (U.PJ -- Virtually all types of American combate planes have been tried in battle with satisfactory results, high-ranking army air force off, cials revealed today.
 None of the existing models are even near obsolescnce, one au- thority said.
 All bomber types have seen bat tie action and all but two of cur rent fighter models now in produc- ton have been tested in combat. That has been an important factor in whipping the army air forces into the most potent, best trained and best equipped air fighting army in the world.
 Dive -BOmbers Lack Defense
 The swift pace at which the army's air forces are being pre- pared for the vast operations ahead was impressed upon members of the aviation writers association during their annual convention here recently.
 They were warned against over emphasizing the importance of dive-bombers. Dive e-bombing, they were told was effective only when air superiority has been obtained. The small crews carried by such craft do not permit adequate de- fense of these planes and they are vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire. But they have great worth as support for ground forces 1t was said.
 Officials said the program for training flying crews is on schedule despite series of orders in the last six months calling for expansion of the air forces.
 Fatality Rate Lower
 Furthermore, they pointed out, the training courses are subject to brought back by American flyers who have seen actual combat serv- ice frequently arei incorporated.
 Authorities said the training ac- cident rate is larger than they would like to see 1t but, considering the large number of men now under in- struction, is remarkably low" The fatality rate per 1000 hours flown is lower now than it was in 1938, they said
 Two major changes in policy have made possible the maintenance of training schedules. First was the re- duction-from one year to a little over 40 Weeks-in the length of time required to turn out combat flyers. The other was relaxation of educa- tional requirements. Men are now chosen on the basis of various intel ligence and psychological tests, ir- respective of previous college edu- cation.
