Severe Changes Predicted
For Civilian Life i'm ID. s.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28-UP)-
Government officials today pre-
dicted major changes in American
civilian life during the next year
but there was little indication yet
that the changes would be as dras-
tic as those which have taken place
in Great Britain.
Whereas American officials still
are thinking in terms cf drastic
curtailment,' British civilians have
had to adjust themselves to acute
shortages and complete abandon
ment of many civilian services.
The pinch of all-out war on the
American home front is just start
ing, officials said, recalling an Of
flee of war information assertion
last month that las a nation we
are not yet more than ankle deep
in the war"
They described the sweeping, al
most revolutionary changes which
were forced upon BritainS 10000
900 people after the retreat from
Dunkirk. Whereas Americans gen.
orally look upon restricted consump-
ticn of sugar, gasoline, tires, BIZ
cycles, typewriterS, and automo-
bileS as unpleasant sacrifices, not so
in Britain.
Real, acute shortages have de-
veloped in nearly every phase of
British civilian life. 1t has become
virtually impossible to buy many
unrationed commodities on an open.
market. Rationing orders are well
cCmed.

of rationing is to distribute fairly
among all consumers scarce COM

obtained at all before the govern

ton board official explained.
Other than enemy air attacks,
which cost more than $4,000 civil
liam lives, and casualties among the
armed forces, shortages of civilian
goods and services probably have
altered the British way of life
mere extensively than any other Of

although the Chinese population

Band said the guerrillas carried

considered more precious than its

a rifle. but only small supply of
ammunition. AS soon as one cart

New DeoI Turns
Down Farm Plan

WASHINGTON Sept. % up
Administration leaders today re-
jected a new farm bloc proposal to
guarantee farmers their cost of pro-
duction plus a reasonable profit
in price ceilings to be placed on
agricultural products under the
pending anti-inflation bill.
The plan was rejected in a sem
ate cloak-room conference 4 few
minutes after the new proposal was
advanced by a committee named at
a congressional farm bloc confer
ence with leaders of the four major
farm organizations.
Wen fight it out as. it stands, ="
said Sen. Elmer Thomas, D.. Okla,
after the rejection Thomas re-
ferred to his pending amendment
to revise the farm parity price
formula to include farm labor costs
in fixing ceilings on farm products.
The last-minute proposal, coming
as the senate neared a vote late
today. or tomorrow on the anti-in-
flation bill. was regarded by admin
istration supporters as a strong in
dlcatiOn that the fran bloc expects
to lose its fight against adoption
of an administration compromise
on farm prices. The compromise
would direct President Roosevelt to
consider labor costs in fixing price
ceilings. but without revising the
parity formula
Sen. Carl A. Hatch, D, N M,
Thomas chief backer in sponsoring
the amendment. said the new pro-
posal met with the complete agree
ment of the so-called farm bloc"
INDUSTRY HAS 1T
The only thing it included was
that in any ceiling price to be es-
tablished under this joint reSolu-
ton (the pending anti-inflation
billl there should be included the

fresh divisions in by transport plane.
BRITISH PESSIMISTIC
Moscow said that Nazis were at
tempting To ram wedges into var
ious parts of the city. cutting off
one district from another in order
10 come to grips with the defenders
on a piecemeal basis.
British military experts were more
pessimistic about Stalingrad'S chanc-
es but Gen. Sir Archibald Waveli
at New Delhi, expressed belief the
Russians might hold out. He sug-
gested that the actual capture OF
Stalingrad was more a matter OF
prestige than Of military advantage
since the Germans had already
gotten into position TO interfere
with traffic along the Volga artery
and had smashed Stalingrad as an
arms production center.
Wendell L. Willkie in an exclusive
statement to the United Press staff
correspondent at Moscow, Henry
Shapiro, declared that Russia was
"unconquerable.'
ACTIONS COUNT
Expanding on his views made pub
lie over the weekend, Willkie said
that unless the United Nations give
Russia aid now the offensive power
of the Red army may be lost.
Willkie said that the opening of
a second front must be expedited
and that deeds, rather than words,
was what counted at this time
Failure to give Russia the utmost
aid, said Willkie, might have most
adverse results.
The costliness Of the bloody fight
ing on the Russian front was en-
phasiZed by summary OF Russian
communiqueS which disclosed that
$4,000 Germans have been reported
killed in Is days fighting arounC
Stalingrad. It was estimated that
the Germans have lost 100000 men
since May /.
However, Willkie estimated Rus
sian casualties at 100000 men
Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrop in a propaganda speech
placed Russian losses at 100000
men and said 100000 square miles
of Russia with population of l00,-
600 600 had been won by the NaZis
Ribbentrop also said that no sec
ond front would ever be opened and
that Stalingrad would be captured.
TRANSPORTS SITNR0
The German high command made
a sensational propaganda claim
which drew no comment from BIT
ish or American naval authorities.
The Nazis asserted that three large

leaders agreed, but the administra-
ton says no. For the life of me I
don't understand how the admins
tration can expect to produce farm
or other commodities at less than
the actual cost of production, but
from the attitude taken today I'm
convinced hat is the situation"
As the sixth day of debate on the
anti-inflation bill opened, Sen
Clyde M Reed, r., Kan, urged the
senate to adopt the administration
compromise, which he said was
neither new deal nor anti-neW deal
and certainly not anti-farm bloc
CANT BE AVOIDED
Reed who with Sen, Millard E.
TydingS D.. Md. originally spon-
sored the substitute proposal on
farm prices, said he was IAN active
and vocal member of the farm bloc,
but thought adoption of the Thom-
as-Hatch amendment was un-
necessary to protect farmers against
rising labor costs.
It's true that administrative dis
cretion is left up to the price ad-
ministratcr in this compromise" he
said, but I don't see haW it could
possibly be avoided
He and Tydings, he asserted,
could not possibly be called rubber
stamps for anybody-not even the
President of the United States"
President Roosevelt has asked
congress for an anti-inflation bill

said he believed that if congress

ing of gasoline which becomes et-
fective about Nov. %.
The date when some 100000
civilian motorists must register to
obtain gasoline has not been fixed
Officials said no decision would be
announced until coupons and other
supplies essential to the rationing
program have been printed and
distributed to boards in the 81 states
outside the eastern rationed area.
The nationwide program will be
patterned after the plan in force
in the east. Motorists will receive
a basic gasoline ration allowing D.
$50 miles a year of travel. Addi-
tional mileage up to 470 miles
month may be obtained if the mo-
toriSt can show that the original
"A card allotment is insufficient
TO meet occupational needs. In ad-
dition. a special preferred mileage"
category is provided for IA types
of occupations deemed essential to
the war effort and 10 the public
health and safety.
TIRE INSPECTIONS
Authorities did not believe that
all cf the 100000 would register.
When rationing was undertaken in
II east coast states, only 100000
of the 100000 motorists in that
area registered.
One problem confronting Hend-
erSon is the decision on penalties
to be applied to motorists who fail
to submit their tires to OPA agents
for on-wheel inspection every 60
days. 1t was considered likely that
some certificate will be issued to
motorists upon tire inspection and
that those failing to submit their
tires for regular inspection would
be denied gasoline temporarily as
a penalty. 1t was suggested in ether
quarters that the penalty may take
the form of denying violating mo-
torists new tires or recap rubber.
Meantime. Joseph B. Eastman,
head of the office of defense trans
portation, contacted governors OF
the 48 states requesting them to
implement and arrange for strict
enforcement of his order imposing
a nationwide speed limit of 35 miles
an hour. The limit becomes effec-
tive on Oct |. An offender may be
fined as much as $4,000 by the gov
ernment under President RooSeyelt's
war powers for violating the East
man order in instances in which
nc action is taken by the state.
