"Must Hold Enemy Back From VOlga Valley" Is Orders of Commander BATTLE IS RAGING
 AT CITY OF ROSTOV Nazis Are Slowed Down Some; But Crisis May Be
 Near at Hand
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign Editor)

~~S VASASA Az4AktWfl
 The Red Army, aided by American-made Flying For tresSes, began a last-ditch stand in defense of the Cau- casus and the Volga Valley today, Slugging back at enemy assault units in a big battle at RoStov and fighting from more favorable posi- tionS along the Don river west of Stalingrad.
 We can and must hold the enemy and inflict cruel losses on him. :" the Army newspaper Red Star de- clared in disclosing that Soviet Marshal Semyon Timoshenko's withdrawal to new defenses. pre- sumably on the lower Don as far east as the bend opposite Stalingrad had been completed.
 It was acknowledged, however. that the German advances to No- Vocherkassk and Tsimlyansk and eastward into the Don river bend, which twists to within 35 miles of Stahngrad, had created an in- creaslngly grave situation and it was feared that the Russians would be unable to hold the gateway city of Rostov.
 Dispatches from Moscow said that the enemy advance had encircled Rostov of three sides in addition to pushing another column east of the DonetS river to the lower Don at g point half way between Rostov and Stalingrad and a third column into the river bend.
 Nazis Claim Break
 The German communique re- ported a break through the heavily mined Russian defense before RoS- toy and said that Axis troops were 1ghtlng in the outskirts of the city, while Nazi air squadrons attacked nearby communications lines. The Russians did not officially acknowl- edge any enemy forces closer than NovocherkaSSk, 32 miles to the northeast on the railroad, but gave the impression that Timoshenko might not attempt to hold the city of 500,00O population against a long siege.
 RoStov obviously will be strongly defended to make the enemy pay the biggest possible price, but 1t lies on the north bank of the Don and all indications were that the Russians would do most of their fighting south of the river.
 The first effects of the new Rus sian stand were reported by the Red Star, which said the enemy had been slowed down as a result of steady, large-Scale attacks by the Russian air force, which is using big American made Boeing and Douglas DOHnbers to blast German tank concentrations in the forward area and to range far behind the lines in raids on communications centres.
 The period of Russian withdrawal appeared to be ended for the most part, especially on the lower Don east of Rostov, and fighting con- tinued in the Voronezh sector, on the German left flank some 300 miles to the north.
 The Red army at voronezh re- ported that it had seized another point from the enemy, killed 5000 Germans, knocked, out 30 more tanks and at some points driven the enemy back into the Don river in bloody battles now raging on both banks.

 Washington, July 23 - U.P9 = President Roosevelt was reported to- day to have told his congressional leaders that the United States faces the most disastrous economic upset in history unless the present price control system is scrapped for an ironclad prohibition against wage and price increases that are "ini- mical to the public interest"
 The president indicated at con- ference with his leaders yesterday it was said, that there is no longer any doubt of the encessity of ex- tremely drastic action in the battle against imitation.

Not Mr.. Wickard's VieU

There are some. of course, who
take an extreme view of this SUBJ
ject. They would like to see the
government take over the whole
processing and distribution industry,
at least for the duration. This is not
the view of Mr.. Wickard.
Naturally, there will be strong op-
position to increased farm prices
from the Office of Price Administra-
ton and various other bodies. which
are supposed to speak for the con-
sumer or which represent the strong
anti-infationist views.
The President has made it plain
that he will be the arbiter when such
conflicts arise. The formula for par
ity cannot be altered without legis-
lation since it is already defined by
law. Even if the senate concurS
with the house and agrees to include
all farm labor costs in the parity
formula, the President would still
have the power to veto such a meas
ure and the administration could
probably muster enough votes to
support the veto.
Secretary Wickard, who moves
slowly and conservatively, has been
gaining power as he advanced.
There is more and more evidence
of a return TO influence of the old
time agencies like the OPA. The
former have more influence with
congress and apparently the people
have more confidence in them.
The department of agriculture will
be there when the mushroom agen-
cies have strutted their hour and
disappeared.

Japan Must Learn

Japan must not only be defeated
but crushed . . . MANNED and left
helpless for a long period"
Speaking not, he says, in the voice
of wartime e1notionalism nor as the
retired colonel or a sedentary edi-
torial writer, Nathaniel PETER, Far
Eastern expert, makes the above
statement. "Japan," he says, must
be taught a terrible lesson, a lesson
that cannot be conveyed by defeat
in ITSELF"
I know Mr.. PETER, have known
him since I heartily disagreed with
many of his ideas, clear back in
college days. l know the great re-
spect in which he is held by the
wise men of the East-and the West
to-day. I know his hatred and con-
tempt for the militarist. So I seized
upon the above quotations from his
latest book, Basis for Peace in the
Far East" (Harper & Bros.) in the
hope that I would be able to tear
his new tome to shreds in a pleas
urable frenzy Of humanitarian sad
ism and delight my pacifst friends.
But later on, as I read this highly
enlightening book and absorbed Mr..
PETERS program for postwar treat
ment Of Japan, I saw I would have
to temper my opinion of the authors
unchristian preachment in the first
chapter.
1 discovered that Mr.. PETER was
merely an old fashioned parent who
believes in administering chastise-
ment to . bad child.
Two sets of obstacles interfere
with a healthy Japan that can live
peacefully in the family of nations,
Mr.. PETER explains. One group are
external, one internal, self-made.
The external are lack of natural
resources Of her islands. There.
fore, he says, after her period OF
repentance. the opportunity to buy
raw materials and the opportunity
to sell the finished products must be
established. Internally, Japan can
not function like modern commune
ties such as Detroit or the Ruhr or
Worcestershire, and at the same
time operate a system in which
people live in medieval villages. The
terms under which we will help ia
pan rebuild the devastation which
our bombs and shells will wreak
upon her. will be the removal Of
internal obstacles to a more bal
anced social system.
No reviewer can adequately deal
with another mans book. If he
could ne might just as well write il
himself. have offered these brief
excerpts in the hope that the appar-
ent paradox in point of view will
whet your curiosity-for unless you
read THE Basis for Peace in the
Far East" you won't be able to dis.
cuss intelligently the basis for peace
anywhere, when the time comes for
it to be established.

Higher Prices Asked for
Extra Effort by Farmers
Time and a Half for Factory Workers.
Overtime, Manufacturers Cost Plus,
Proves Demands Not Excessive.
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne,Us Analyst and Comm enfdtor.
WNU Service, 1343 H Street, NV.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.

WNU Service, 1343 H Street, NV,
Washington, d. C.
There is a package in Washington
addressed to the farmers marked
do Not Open Until After Congress
Convenes." 1t may never be dellv-
cred, but the people who are doing 1t
up at this writing think it will be.
It will make a nice New Years pres
ent. 1t is labeled Higher Farm
Prices"
Several straws indicate that the
wind is blowing in this direction.
The house early this month unanl-
mously passed a measure which dl-
rected that the cost of all farm la
Dor be included in computing parity
prices.
Since the election is yer, nobody
can attribute purely political mo-
tives to the congressman who sup
ported the AS nearly as
I can find out, the vote reflected the
mail-the opinions expressed in the
letters that the congressman have
been getting since the election-plus
q belief on the part of many people
in the administrative as we'll as the
legislative branch that if we are to
ask the farmer to increase his pro-
duction effort from 20 to so per
cent, we will have to give him the
incentive of higher prices.
One official said to me:
when you go to a contractor and
say that he has got to double his
production or get it out in one-haf
the ordinary time, you are not sur
prised when he expects a bonus.
When you ask the farmer to raise
more than he ordinarily does-he is
usually raising all he thinks he can
anyway-it is natural that he ex-
poets some sort of material reward.
Time and a half for overtime has
not been abolished, manufacturers
are guaranteed against loss by the
cost-plus system. Why shouldn't the
farmer get his share?"
These are some Of the arguments
which you hear these days when the
question of raising farm prices is
discussed. This is quite a different
attitude from the n taken when the
country was demanding that some
thing be done to prevent imitation.
Proponents of higher ceilings claim
that they are not inconsistent. They
say: There is no danger of un
controlled imitation when you permit
a stipulated limit to the rise in
costs"

Subsidies Not Popular

Already it has been found neces-
sary to subsidize the cheese mar
kets. If you expect to get all the
dairy and pork products you need,
the argument runs, it will be neces-
sary to pay the farmer a little bit
more for his milk and hogs. Subsi-
dies are not popular. If another
way can be found, so much the bet
ter.
There is. however, another impor-
tant consideration in connection with
the whole food and fiber production
program. This is a growing de-
mand that processing and distribu-
ton be strictly regulated. Secre-
tary Wickard, as food administra-
tor, has the power to set up such
regulations.
Officials who served in the de-
partment Of agriculture through the
last war will testify that although
there was efficient food distribution,
a lot of smart professors and mid
dlemen feathered their nests at the
expense of the farmer and the pub
lie. Farmers know this. One con-
gresham said to me: 1.-THE folks
out in my district do not object to
working twice as hard and produc-
ing twice as much if they can. They
do think, however, that they ought
to get a little more money for their
extra effort and they also feel they
ought to have the guarantee hat nc
s%peculator is going to make money
out of the increased production the
way many did in the last war;"
The appointment of Secretary
Wickard, with his powers over the
processing and distribution of food
products, was partly a result Of
opinions such as expressed by the
farmer whom my congressman
friend quoted. It is argued that
since the department of agriculture
Is responsible for getting enough
food and textiles to fill the domestic.
army and navy and ~lease-lend de-
mands, this same agency ought to
have control over the preparation
and distribution Of these products
as well.
