Of the Government.
God forbid that this should hap
pen." he continued, but it is en-
tirely possible that this dispute may
have to be resolved in the third
branch of our Government"
Veto Of Measure Possible.
Senator Brown alluded to the de-
mand Of the congressional farm bloc
that farm parity prices be revised
upward to take into account cost Of
all labor on the farms, a revision to
which President Roosevelt said he
was "unalterably opposed"
Some administration supporters
have said that II this provision, al
ready approved by the House in
passing the anti-inf1ation legislation,
were finally adopted by Congress.
the President might veto the bill
and proceed to act under executive
authority.
The President told Congress in a
message September 7 that If it did
not act to reduce the levels at which
ceilings could be applied to farm
prices by October /, he would act
himself The farm bloc proposal
would raise, rather than lower these
ceilings.
Saying that not merely a domestic
question was involved, but the issue
of national unity, Senator Brown
declared he had expended every ef-
fort In an attempt to reach a COM
promise on which Congress, the
President and the country could
agree.
II do not believe we have been
successful" he said.
Cites Compromise Efforts.
Senator Brown disclosed he not
only had appealed to Senators to
reach some compromise, but had
conferred with House leaders seek
ing the same end and had tried to
persuade the Chief Executive to
reach solution that would be ac-
ceptable to Congress, the admin
istration and the American people"
IF we shall by our action here
force head-on collision between the
executive and legislative powers
OF the American Government, we
will have done great disservice
to the war effort"
Senator Brown said he had the
highest respect for the head Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
and that he believed the head of
the National Grange was "a patri-
otto gentleman"
But we should not turn the
leadership OF the legislative branch
of the Government over to these
gentlemen he declared. They are
not hired by the American people.
They are hired by the interests they
serve"
Referring to President Roosevelt,
Senator Brown said "the man re-
sponsible to the people Is the rep
resentative. of all the people Of the

said, before we reject a measure

nounceu by the committee Of New
York sports writers named to handle
the fight arrangements. Under the
terms Of this new setup, which the
committee said had been approved
by the War Department, It was
agreed that Louis would receive
more than 100000 to pay on obli-
cations. Conn was to receive $34,500
for the same purpose.
Louis obligations, as announced
by the sports committee, consisted
of 1906 50 to the Twentieth Gem
tury Sporting Club and 81 ,164.03 to
one Of his managers, John Rox-
borough. Conn's obligations also
was said to be to the Twentieth
Century Sporting Club.
Both fighters Indebtedness, 1t was
said, consisted Of sums advanced At
various times by Jacobs and Rox-
borough for personal bills.
Followed Stormy Session.
The Sports Committees announce
ment followed . stormy session at
which it is known that some mem
bers opposed the plan: The COM
mittee said that it had found it
impossible to conduct the fight
under the original plan suggested by
the War Department"
Upon investigation" the COM
mittee announcement said, 1T was
found that there were commitments
and obligations with regard to sums
OF money owed by the soldier con-
testants in this fight. In order that
the Tight may go forward 1t is
incumbent upon the committee to
meet the sums Of money owed by
these soldiers to private interests"
It has been estimated in some
quarters that total expenses for the
fight would run close to $500 900.
This includes the payments author
lied to the fighters. training camp
expenses, stadium rental and other
expenses. Estimates of the total
gate for the hight, based on $40 top
price for tickets, have run as high
as 100000
Holland Defends Fighters.
Meanwhile. Representative Hol-
land, Democrat, of Pennsylvania,
told the House that Representative
OToole. Democrat, of New York,
who yesterday asked a House inves-
tigation Of the fight, apparently had
forgotten that Louis donated his
whole purses to Army and Navy Re-
lief in two previous fights.
ITO say : that this Is making
mockery out Of the Army and q
mockery out Of charity, to permit
these two outstanding Americans to
engage in a boxing bout that will
benefit their buddies in service, Is
certainly hitting below the belt
Representative Holland said.
Representative Holland further
told the House:
Il do not know of any two men
who will do more for Army relief
than Louis and Conn. For, of all
the relief exhibitions, whether In
boxing, football or Army shows be-
ing held, none will equal what the
Army Relief will get from this
fight"
He calculated that II gross re-
ceipts were $1,000. 900. Army Relief
would receive approximately $780,
coo, with the Army's only expense
being the service pay OF the two
fighters. In addition, he said, the
Treasury and the State of New York
would receive large cut in taxes.
Certainly you can't call 1t IA
voritism when two fine Americans,
both married and one having a
enlisted of their own free
will in the Army when-under our
Selective Service Act-they both
would be exempt" the Pennsyl-
vanian declared. They have given

came suddenly upon the tiger
lying in his path. He was claw

reaching a hospital.
Fleet and others drove the tig-

jumped into a pen housing a
bear, which Immediately engag-

quickly.
The incident occurred late in

Bitter Struggle
in Tunisia Looms
28, 1000 Axis Troops
Prepared for Deadly Defense

LONDON, Dec. l2-(P)-Con-
fronted with a steadily rein
forced Axis army of $4,000, the
Allies faced hard and bloody
struggle today in the battle for
Tunisia but the first cautions
probing of the enemy's newly
established line at Ell Agheila in
Libya raised the possibility that
Marshal Rommel may not make
a stand there.
There Germans and Italians
were pouring air-borne rein
forcements into Tunisia to boil
ster forces already holding the
advantage of occupying a we'll
fortified, compact area and dis
patches from that North African
front showed plainly that the
Allies were in for a bitter strug-
gle to win Tunis and Bizerte.
AIR POWER GROWS
Offsetting the Axis advantage
somewhat was the growing AL
lied air might in Tunisiu and the
entire Mediterranean area, as
emphasized by the one-tow
punches yesterday in new and
devastating raids by American
bombers upon Naples and by
,auothcr, attack of ,home-haScd
British bombers last night on
turn.
The Tunisian picture was bal
anced too by the British Middle
East announcement today that
in the related battle for Libya
developments are proceeding
according to plan without inter-
ference from the enemy" :"
Some quarters in London sug-
gested this meant Rommel might
have been outmaneuvered at FL
Agheila while others, taking a
more cautious view, conjectured
that he might have left just a
screen of token forces along the
40-mile defile- there while with
drawing the bulk of his remain
ing forces toward Tripoli.
Growing Axis nervousness
and reports that British patrols
had penetrated as deep as two
miles within enemy lines be-
tween the Gulf of Sirte and the
Ell Agheila sale depression lent
support to the theory that ROM
mel had decided against a stand
there.
