SEN. BARNLEY WANTS ACTION ON ENTIRE BILL reed for Such Legislation Pointed Out By Presi-
 dent Last April COUNTRY IMPATIENT
 FOR CONG. ACTION Farm Bloc Spreads Word to Limit or Avoid Talks
 Holding Up Vote
Washington, September %.

Washington, September 29. - (UP) - Senate Demo cratic Leader Alben w. Bark ley of Kentucky, asserting in the Senate today that the country is impatient for action" on the farm price controversy, served notice that there would be no ad- journment tonight until the anti-inflation bill is passed. Referring to complaints that President Roosevelt had ''held a pistol at the head of congress" by demanding action by October Jn- der threat of curbing prices by presi- dential order. Barkley told the senate that the chief executive called attention to the need for leg lslative action on April 27, long be- Gore his Labor Day message.
 Opening the seventh day of senate Rebate on the bill, Barkley said he wanted action not only on the farm bloc amendment sponsored by Sem ator Elmer Thomas, Democrat. okla homa, but on the bill as well. The Thomas amendment would require all farm labor costs to be included fin the computation of parity prices on farm products.
 Barkley said he wanted his col- leagues to know that it was his il1- tention that the senate remain in session today until we have con- cluded not only the amendment, but the bill."
 T feel that the country is not on- sy impatient for action on this con- troversy," he said, "but I feel that Che senate and the whole legisla- tive process are undergoing test which hope will vindicate the leg aslative process"
 As Barkley spoke, word reported " went out among farm bloc mem bers to limit or avoid speeches so that an early vote might be taken on the pending Thomas amendment. Some members, however, said there

 Qn Moscow Wendell L. Willkie said he favored 8 second front if military leaders thought one prac- ticable.)
 Peter Macdonald, Conservative had asked Churchill whether ''in view of the fact that the period of offensive operations by the united nations is now approaching" and secrecy was important, he would im- press the need for secrecy on all persons.
 Churchill said that he welcomed the opportunity to warn of the un- desirability of public statements or speculation on such operations.
 A. s. Reid, Conser- vative, brought up the question why Britain had not bombed Rome.
 Churchill said he had nothing to add to his previous statements, but emphasized that there was no Tim iting factor" which would prevent 6 bombing.
 He repeated that he would make no statement when Reid suggested that Rome had not been bombed be- cause of Catholic susceptibilities.
 Oliver Locker -Lsampson, Conserva- tive, interjected: May I ask wheth- CT the bombing of Rome would not unite Italians rather than split them?"
 Churchill did not reply.
 Britain has said that if the axis bombed Cairo, a holy Mohammedan city, Britain might bomb Rome.)
 Asked by R. J. 0. Bootby, Con- regarding the position in Madagascar, Churchill said:
 'The success of the initial landings in Madagascar and the fact that they were accomplished with only the lightest casualties on both sides are due in great measure to the efti- ciency of the Royal Navy and the speed with which it ferried troops

 Headquarters, United States Pa- cific Fleet, Pearl Harbor, Sept. 29 (29)-The United States forces are on the offensive in the Solomon Islands for the first time since the marine invasion August T, it was in- dicated today.
 A Navy Department communiQue revealing heavy attacks by army and Navy planes on enemy land, sea and air forces over an area ex- tending 800 miles north of the mar inc positions was believed to mean an abandonment of defensive tac- tics and to foreshadow a possible continued advance northward by the ground forces.
 This correspondent returned tc Pearl Harbord after six weeks on Guadalcanal Island with the mar ines, convinced that they will hold their gains with the aid of the air forces and the navy.
 But great endorsements in men, ships, arms and planes will be necessary.
 The invasion of the remaining Solomons will not be as easy as the first attack on August when the Japanese awoke to an Olympian reveille of the big guns and bombs of the American fleet and air force.
 There will be no surprise now. The attack must be carried out with an overwhelming superiority in men, ships and planes and the mar ines anticipate heavy losses, but they are eager to go.
 In six weeks in the SolomonS, I saw young marines fresh from home drive veteran Japanese troops out of almost impregnable caverns where they fought to the last man.

Davis Reminds Land
Speeches Must Be
Cleared Through owl
Says Admiral FoiIed
To Follow Policy on
Talk in New York

Rear Admiral Emory S. Land,
whose remarks about "organizers"
have brought CIO demands for his
removal as chairman of the Mari
time Commission, has been warned
by owl Director Elmer Davis
against making any more speeches
without first clearing them through
Owl.
Mr.. Davis disclosed last night
that he had written Admiral Land
routine note, reminding him that
an executive order requires owl
clearance on all public speeches by
policy-making off1cials.
Admiral Land did not check with
us before he made that speech" Mr.
Davis said in reference to Admiral
Lands "off -the-cuff" address to a
meeting of the Investment Bankers
Association in New York Monday
when he listed "organizers" among
his pet hates" and said they ought
to be shot at sunrise"
That was Immediately construed
as an attack on union organizers
but Admiral Land later denied he
had used either the word labor
or union" in connection with "or-
ganizers," and asserting that there
are all kinds of organizers for all
kinds of projects.
Purpose Explained.
President Roosevelt's executive
order requiring Owl clearance of all
public speeches by Government
officials goes back to "the old OFF
days." Mr.. Davis pointed out. The
ONCE of Facts and Figures, which
was superseded by owl, was the
original agency for clearance of such
speeches. The purpose of the order
it was explained, was to attempt to
eliminate confusion caused by con-
flicting statements by making sure
that all speeches conformed with
policy.
Philip Murray, CIO president, has
urged Mr.. Roosevelt to dismiss Ad-
miral Land, because of what he de-
scribed as the Maritime Commission
chairman's attack on union organ
iZers.
Meanwhile, Representative Ander-
son, Republican, of California made
public an exchange of letters with
Joseph Curran, president of the
National Maritime Union, CIO, ir
which he declined to give support te
demands for Admiral Lands re-
moval.
Anderson Praises Land.
Mr.. Anderson wrote the union
leader that Admiral Land was rem
dering distinct and patriotic serv-
ice" to his country and recalled that
the House recently voted to author
ize the President to advance him
to the rank of vice admiral, which
he termed "a high tribute to any
man."
Mr.. Currans letter asked removal
of Admiral Land 80 as to prevent
any further impeding OF our Ma
tion's war effort"
Unless miss my guess" Mr.. An
derson wrote, he'll Gand be chair
man of the Maritime Commission
for a long time to come and the
results of his work will live long
after your petty political manipula
tions have become nothing but q
distasteful memory"
Mr.. Anderson also told Mr.. Curran
that if he were to give his CO.
operation to anything it would be
Ito assist in removing you from
office"
