Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, March 4.-The
Mexican crew Of the seized former
German liner Orinoco disclosed yes
terday that their ship was chal-
lenged by a Nazi submarine soon
after sailing from New York last
January 10 but was allowed to pro-
coed unharmed on giving her ma
tionality and cargo description.
They told of submitting to the
submarines command to halt and
of signaling the information de-
manded by the U-boat commander.
Apparently satisfied, the submarine
disappeared.
The seized ship, now named the
Puebla, then proceeded to Tampico
going slowly because of the damage
due to her machinery by her Ger
man crew before Mexico seized a
dozen Axis merchant ships harbored
at Tampico and VeracruN last
spring.
Mexico has severed relations with
the Axis powers, but has not de-
clared war.
Because Of damage to electrical
installations the Puebla carried no
passengers, and it was reported two
months Of repair work will be re-
quired before she will undertake
another trip.

House Farm Faction
Offers Compromise
In Parity Dispute
Would Allow SoIes
Of Surplus Grain Below
Scale for Use os Feed
~ TIE Associated Press.

D ~ tEt Associated Press.
: The House farm bloc. holding
out for partly price features in the
Agriculture Department supply bill
offered yesterday to compromise tc
the extent of allowing sales Of Gov
ernment- held surplus wheat and
corn at below-parity prices for feed
purposes.
The bill, debate on which started
following the appearance of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wickard before
the Agriculture Committee, now has
a provision forbidding the sales
of Government-held surpluses OF
wheat, corn, tobacco and rice at
below-parity prices.
Administration leaders have in
dicated they would make q stiff
fight to remove the parity clause
from the bill, but were disposed to
consider the compromise proposal
as a possible means of averting a
bitter fight against the strong farm
membership in the House.
Wickard Defends Program.
Secretary Wickard in his testi-
mony defended the Commodity
Credit Corp. program Of disposing
of certain surpluses held by the
Government as security for loans
to growers.
Members said the Secretary en-
phasized the necessity Of making
feed available to farmers at low cost
TO widen the spread between the
prices received for stock and the
cost of raising stock for the mar
ket The effect Of this, he was re-
ported to have asserted, was to push
closer to parity prices of stock.
They said Secretary Wickard in
sisted the Commodity Credit Corp.
had no intention of selling cotton,
tobacco or rice at prices under par
ity, or to dispose Of wheat and corn
ut low prices except for feed pur-
poses.
Kept Prices Down.
Farm Representatives have COM
planned the selling of surplus COM
modities below parity prices has had
the effect Of keeping down farm
prices.
During House debate yesterday
several Representatives leveled at
tacks at the Farm Security Admin
istration, demanding economy in its
operation. Representative Dirksen,
Republican. of Illinois. accused the
agency of having furnished in one
district a large number of pressure
cookers costing $12.5G each, which
we're used for slop jars
From the American Farm Bureau
Federation, each House member re-
ceived a written request for curtail-
ment Of expenditures and support
of the ban against sales Of surplus
commodities below parity. The bu-
reau mentioned the F. S. A. and the
rehabilitation loan program as par
ticular places where economies could
be effected.

BARRYMORE IS
 STAR OF FILM
 TO OPEN HERE
World Premiere" Will Have First Showing
 Here on Sunday

John Barrymore and company ar rive Sunday at the 20th Century Theatre to reel off something de- cidedly different in comedies, Para mounts World Premiere" a pix lated version of how movie pre- mieres are born.
 In his own hilarious style, Bar rymore plays the role of a wacky movie producer about to give the world his greatest masterpiece, a daring expose of foreign govern ments which he plans to premiere in Washington.
 Ricardo Cortez and Frances Far mer are his temperamental stars, Eugene Palette his worrisome fin ancial packer, and Don Castle his press agent ..
 At the 20th Century tonight and tomorrow are two big pictures. The law of the land of. the lawless as it existed before the turning of the present century in the frontier West forms the background for the latest adventure of "Hopalong' Cas- sidy, famed screen cowboy, Border Vigilantes," starring William Boyd. In the other film, pretty Frances Clifford fills the feminine, and very appropriate role of a bride in the femii ine lead of Hold That Wom- an," the new Sigmund Neufeld pro- duction distributed by Producers Releasing Corporation. It's ap- propriate, not only because the ac- tress looks the part to perfection but because the hero she is featured with is no less than the man she did an altar walk" with in sim liar capacity-her hubby, comedian James Dunn.
