Brass Hats Hit
Bv Senator Lee

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-CUPD-
Sen. Josh Lee, D., Okla, said to-
day he hoped governmental brass
hats soon would wake up and
award Henry j. Kaiser. west coast
shipbuilder, contracts to construct
a giant fleet of cargo-flying planes
Lee, one of the senate's NEST
consistent advocates of expanded
air power, said Kaiser's record this
week in launching a 10,500 ton
Liberty ship in just 10 days was
"one of action, action and more
action" which should convince ANY
fair minded persons that he is
equal to the plane building job.
He renewed his demand for
second European front before Jan
from the air-"to give moral
and material support to the brave,
courageous and fighting defenders
of Stalingrad.'
Turning again to cargo planes,
he noted that the maritime COM
mission repeatedly has refused to
accept Kaisers 10 day launching
as a new record, and commented:
They have a lot of ifs and he
has a lot of action. That's the
way the whole thing sums up
The commission is understood to
have rejected the achievement as a
record on grounds that Kaiser was
not maintaining his schedule CT
constructing other ships. One
spokesman said Kaiser, on learning

New Compromise
Sought on Parity

WASHINGTON. Sept. 26-fUP)-
Sen. Walter F. George, D. Ga.
today offered a new compromise
in the bitter tussle between admin
istration and farm bloc forces over
legislation granting President
Roosevelt broad powers to combat
initiation.
He recommended further revi-
sion of an administration amend
ment-requiring the President to
consider farm labor costs in fixing
farm price ceilings-to include a
date from which higher labor costs
would be figured.
The farm bloc has demanded re-
vision OF the present formula for
computing parity prices for agri-
culture to include all labor costs.
The proposal, embodied in an
amendment by Sen. Elmer Thomas,
d. Okla. has been opposed flatly
by the President.
FUTURE INCREASES
George said the administration
amendment. as now drawn, applies
only 10 future increases in labor
costs and should be revised TO per-
nit price ceiling adjustments to
compensate for rises in labor and
ether costs since Sept. l, 1899, or,

Mechin vigorously but vainly re-
sisted the dismissal order

state in the cabinet under Laval's
prime ministry.

the other ships were late in being

Celebrating his second front de-

to the capture of the city, and
that such an event would be a
