The two former students, Second

votes Monday, when the country
has been heard from on this ques-
tion, than we are today"
Senator Barkley said some sugges-
tions had been made to alter his
compromise amendment to require
the lifting of ceilings where they
did not reflect the increase in farm
wages and other costs since January
l, 1941.
Favors Free Hand for OPA,
He said he favored giving the
Price Administrator a free hand,
but Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia contended that If some such
date were not inserted, actions to
lift ceilings would depend entirely
on whether there were future rather
than past Increases in farm labor
costs.
The proposal to insert this date
also was designed to placate farm
bloc members who have contended
that they would have no check on
the administration of the Barkley
amendment, once 1t was adopted,
unless there was a definite formula
for figuring increased labor costs.
Although they were reported gain
ing ground in the Senate, admin
istration forces still faced an uphill
battle before they could hope to OBJ
tain final congressional approval of
any compromise on the farm parity
issue.
The House already has passed the
bill with an amendment identical
to that offered by Senators Thomas
and Hatch, but Senator Barkley
said he believed compromise could
be reached between the Senate and
House versions If they varied.

USO Still Eligible.
The USO, it was explained. is still
eligible for benefits from community
drives.
The war funds are being set up
to include funds for the British re-
lief organizations and war charities
OF other nations, the USO, and
similar organizations.
The board emphasized that its
action was merely formulating deci-
sions already reached by the service
relief societies to curtail private
fund-raising activities. The orders
will not prevent private agencies or
individuals from holding benefits for
the USO or other war charities.
An official of the board said the
only methods of fund raising to be
permitted in the future would be
those officially sanctioned by the
services.
While figures were unavailable, it
was understood that the Navy's goal
of 5000, 900 had been exceeded sub
stantially, while the Army has
worked out an agreement with the
Red Cross for meeting its financial
needs.

tanning additional funds would be

the parity standard undisturbed, but
would direct President Roosevelt to
lift individual price ceilings where
they did not reflect returns to the
producers which took into account
increased labor and other costs on
the farm.
(Parity is a standard computed
to give farmers a return equal
in purchasing power to a past
favorable period Under terms
of the pending bill, price ceilings
could not be applied on farm
commodities below parity.

adopt this compromise" Senator
Barkley said. Some of the people
who are supporting the Thomas
amendment have said that my
amendment is workable, and that
they will vote for it even if they
vote for the Thomas amendment

railroad commissary car mile and
q half from the scene when two men
were shot to death In Belfast 50
years ago.
Taking the stand at his first
degree murder trial in Allegany

Vicchiano asserted he did not know
Of the killings until his wife told him
Of them some time later. He said
he did not know Constable Norman
Chalker, whom he is accused of
killing, or the other victim, Bruce
Gleason, Belfast hotel man.
Vicchiano said his brother-in-law,
Fred De Capua, Buffalo, threatened
during visit TO his home in 1899 to
go to Belfast and tell them you
killed two men" unless Vicchiano
gave him 81 900. De Capua has tes-
titled that Vicchiano was the killer.
The ailing defendant, aided to the
stand by relatives, asserted the De
Cillio family, in front of whose ho-
tel the murders took place during a
street disturbance, hated him be-
cause he ran away with and married
Sophia de Cillio, sister of Mrs. De

States as aid to the enemy and vio-

Hull said this was revolving" and
"f1endish."
Washington's policy toward Vichy
has had the threefold object Of
keeping the French fleet out of Hit.
ler's hands, maintaining important
listening posts" in French terri

Vichy collaboration with the Axis.
1t also has made it possible for
the French people to see who are

Once this policy ceases to pay div

this possibility also pivots on an
