 Washington, Jan 4.-tUP)-The implied threat of a presidential veto Of pending price control legislation strengthened administration con- gressional forces today in their dis pute with the farm bloc over the kind of bill to be finally adopted.
 President Roosevelt, continuing his active participation in shaping the legislation that has been before Congress since last summer also reminded two of his top officials who have been arguing about joint au- thor!ty over farm prices.
 T can fire either one of them"
 MT. Roosevelt allowed direct quo tation of his press conference statement involving Price Adminis- trator Leon Henderson and Secre- tary of Agriculture Claude R. Wick ard. Wickard, opposing the presi- dents views on pending price con- trol legislation, wants veto power over any ceilings Henderson sets over farm product prices.
 Senate House conferees have scheduled meeting tomorrow to begin work on compromise between the versions passed by the Senate and House.
 Scores Senate Bill
 MT. Roosevelt left no doubt about where he stands. He told a press conference late yesterday that the Senate version, with it's farm bloc amendments, might be described as q bill to compel imitation rather thar combat 1t.

DISCRIMINATION
 STILL CHARGED
Major Leonard J. MalOney Is Backed in Accusation
 by War Dept.

Hartford, Conn, Jan. l4--( (UP)- U. s. Employment Director Major Leonard J. Maloncy said today that the army, navy and U. $. attorney general had confirmed reporte& that there had been racial di3crimina- tions in the hiring of defense work CTS in Connecticut plants.
 As a result of a study conducted last year by a special committee on racial discrimination set up by the Manufacturers Association, Ma loncy said, recommendations were made that aliens be permitted to engage in defense industreis, except on work of confidential nature or on aeronautical cntractS. This committee, he said, opposed the 'ni- discriminate firing of men because of a foreign sounding names.
 Reports now received from the army, navy and Department Of Jus ticc," he asserted, confirm the find- ings of the local committee" and approve its recommendations.
 "Therc have been actual in stances" he said, where citizens 
 of Canada and Great Britain have been discriminated against on the ground they were aliens and not permitted to work on defense con- tracts. Other races have suffered even more severely and these prac- tices have correctly been condemned by Attorney General Bidl, who has pointed out that names such as Wagner were on the vmtWypetaoin Mueller, RosSini, Rasmussen and Wagner were on the casualty lists of Pearl Harbor Some of the men discharged in some states have ac- tllally been the fathers of men in the armed services
 Manufacturers now are urged to abandon discriminatory hiring practices with respect to race, ma tionality and physical handicap, said Maloney.

President All Worked Up On Price Control
Implied Threat of Presidential Veto if Farm Bloc Per-
 sists in Stand-May Fire Officials

The Senate bill would require Hen derson to get Wickard's consent be- fore fixing price ceilings on farm products and, in addition, would prevent the fixing of any ceilings below a level equivalent to about l20 per cent of present parity.
 MT. Roosevelt described the for mer provision as thoroughly un- sound and the latter as more likely to contribute 10 !nfiation than any thing he knew of. He contended that 1t would lead to rise in the price of farm products that would bring demands for wage increases in in- dustry. thus starting an upward price spiral which in the long run would be expensive to farmers as well as 10 the rest of the country.
 The amendment or farm price ceilings was sponsored by Sen. Jo- seph c. OMahoney, D.. Wyo., in q statement issued after the PreSl- dents press conference, O'Mahoney said that although 1t bore his name the amendment was drafted by farm organizations.
 He said the Presidents statement must have been based on "un1usti- fable headlines of certain metro politan newspapers, the editors o1 which do not understand the farm problem nor the technicalities oI parity"
 T know that 1t is the practice to refer to the members Of CongreS: as politicians and to attribute tt them low motives and lack O. knowledge" he said, but the mem bers of the Senate actually are no children and 55 of them-a cleal ma ajority-voted that the economic status of ne-fourth of the entire population Garmera) need not ant should not be jeopardized by th' price control bill"
 1 Wait Until Bill Passes
 Asked whether he would veto tn, bill if it retained the farm blot provisions, MT. Roosevelt replied that he does not think Of things Ike that until Congress has completed action.
 But House conferceS, with whom the President discussed the bill ear. Her in the day. indicated that MT Roosevelt had sounded them out ol the likelihood of Congress sustain ing him on veto. He was quotet by House members as predicting widespread labor unrest based on th' demand of employees for wage in creases if the l20 per cent of parit, provision remained in the bill.
 Congressional leaders interested il the legLsla ton believed the con fcreeS would adopt compromis acceptable to the President, bu thought there would be difficulty il winning Senate and House accept ance.
 Some predicted that the evcntua outcome would be bill lowering tn floor on farm prices to no per cen of parity but retaining some meas urc of authority for the Secretary o Agriculture.

PROFIT LIMITS-WITH AN Ak

A Senate appropriations subcom-
mittee apparently is read y to tackle the
difficult Job Of shaving down war prof
its-but with q firemon's OK instead Of
q carpenters Plane As has been re-
iteroted in these columns, this job
needs seriously to be done; but it
should be done on O bosis Of account
ina that will accomplish equitable re-
suits, not merely q bosis that will look
good politically.
However worthy in intent, the
amendment prepared by Senators
Thomas, Overton, and O'Mohoney is
essentially unreoIistic. 1t proposes q
sliding scale Of permitted profit per-
centoges from 10 per cent on contracts
under 100000 down to z per cert on
amounts above $4,000. This is q
plausible way to scratch the backs Of
small business. But in so far as there is
profteering in the present war, some
Of the worst of it probably is among
certain small and medium-sized bysi-
nesses rather than the large and con-
spicuous ones.
Considering the effect Of turnover,
the sliding scale is, if anything the very
opposite Of what it should be; for an
order Of small items is an order likely
to be repeated with the permissible
profit several times within q year
whereas q single large item may take
more than q year to complete. Unless
Senators can develop q formula that
will take turnover into account, they
would better adopt the recommended
ton Of Donald Nelson, WPB chairman,
for q review Of contracts and q Iimito-
ton to reasonable profits" as deter
mined by experienced accounts and

TIME TO SAVE!

At the direct request Of the govern
ment, retail stores ore carrying on og-
gressjVe campaigns to prevent waste
and save materials Of all kinds.
The Institute Of Distribution, which
represents q number Of important retail
organizations, offers some excellent
advice. Summed up, that advice
amounts to this: don't waste food.
Don't burn or throw owoy poper Save
scrap metal, old rubber, rags, etc. Give
this salvage to your tovorlte charity or
sell it to the nearest Junk and waste
paper dealer.
Use office supplies sporinqIy Get
moxImum service from such common
articles os paper clips, pins, rubber
bands, envelopes, scratch paper, SEAL
ing toPe, pencils, typewriter ribbons,
carbon Paper, etc. These and similar
articles have q definite and important
place in war production, and civilian
consumption must be reduced in many
instances.
Ioke extro-sPecioI care Of mechon-
zeal equipment. Inspect it, clean it, and
oil it frequently. Repairs and replace
ment will become constantly more diff
tJcuIt Save on fuels.
Retail industry knows what it is
talking about. It takes five pounds Of
paper to pack an ordinary artillery
she'll. The miIitory appetite for rubber,
metals, textiles, leather, etc, is virtu-
ally insotiobie. Every busjness-und
every indjViduoI-shouId emulate re-
taijng's drive to prevent waste.

Tksre used TO be saying
about something being as SIM
pie as a twist of the wrist. Well,
that's how Marlene Dietrich be-
came an actress. Only, she
twisted her wrist the wrong
way. 1t snapped, when, as a
young girl she was studying
violin in Berlin. The concert
stage lost an artist -- Dietrich
can still play, and exceptional

Omy, at least a pair Of good
looking legs.
Marlcnc, who is starred in
her first madcap comedy role
opposite Fred MacMurray in
CoIumbias The Lady Is Will
ing, was born in historic Wei
mar, Germany. She was christ
cncd Mary Magdalcne, and her
father, EdOuard Won Losch, was
first lieutenant in Prus-
sian regiment of srenadIcrs.
She is still, because Of frequent
travels and flucncy with langu-
age, pretty much a person Of
the world but has been an
American citizen for many
years and IS very proud Of the
fact.
The slow tempo of Marlene S
early lite was blasted by the
guns of the first world war.
Soon after, her father was kill
ed in action on the Russian
front. Marlcne.s mother took
her TO Berlin, where Marlcne
got her education on a catch
as-CatCh-can basis. Part of her
schooling was in music, and
she was considered an accom-
plshcd young artist at the time
OF the twist of the wrist.
Creative by bent, Dietrich
enrolled at Max RCinhardt S
school in Berlin, changing her
name to the one by which ev-
