Nye Moves 10 Compel
Farm Price Parity Levels
Earlier Story on Pare ABB

tEarller Story on Page A-3)
By the Associated Press
Senator Nye. Republican, of North
Dakota introduced today legisla-
ton which would prevent Govern
ment agencies from operating to
hold farm prices below parity levels.
Senator Nye charged that there
was evidence of an intention by
various officers and agencies in the
executive branch of the Govern
ment, by manipulative practices
and otherwise, to prevent the prices
Of farm commodities from reaching
or being maintained at parity
levels"
Parity Is price calculated to
give the farmer the same return
he received in basic period, usually
l909-l9l4. Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard recently said that farm
prices ought not to 60 above parity,
although the new price control law
would permit them to reach ITO
per cent of parity before ceilings
could be imposed.
farm bloc members have charged
that the Government intended to
sell surplus crops under it's control
IN an effort to keep prices down.
Senator Nye said that any such
action would seriously disrupt the
production Of agricultural commodi-
ties essential to the successful pros
ecution of the war"

RANGOON, Burma, Feb. g.
Reinforced by fresh Chinese and
Indian troops, the British ap-
peared tonight to have stabilized
the Salween River front barring
the japanese drive toward Ran
goon and China's last important
gateway to the sea.
Possibly the Japanese drive had
been broken.
An army communique tonight
showed no change in the strong
Salween River line, although enemy
planes had been attacking positions
on the east bank of the river, 80
miles north Of Moulmein. Later in
the day there was an exchange of
small arms fire-nothing more.
Imperial bombers supported by
fighters yesterday inflicted some
damage on small enemy concentra-
tions," the communique added.
There was also activity by i'm
perial reconnaissance planes. There
were no enemy raids over Burma
last night Early this morning two
warnings were sounded in the RAN
COON area, but no raids developed"

Gil and announcement last week
that the East coast situation might
become more serious.
Last week the war council an
nounced that one of its committees
had reported that war conditions
may restrict use of petroleum and
its products and that defense de-
mands are rapidly increasing, while
there was a possibility that Pc

House Committee Is Told
OF S1-Year Men Scandal
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A C. I. o. representative told the
House Small Business Committee to-
day that the practices of some de-
Tense dollar-a-year men constituted
"a scandalous situation"
1T is reprehensible practice to
turn over governmental machinery
to interested parties in industry" as
serted Harold ]. Ruttenberg of Pitts
burgh, research director for the
C. I. O.'s Steel Workers Organizing
Committee.
Some Of these men, he added,
think of themselves as industry
men, first and have tendency to
discriminate against their competi-
tors. He mentioned no names.
Mr.. Ruttenberg said the War Pro-
duction Boards scrap iron section
was an example of the unfair" use
of confidential information required
from scrap iron dealers by scrap iron
brokers holding governmental posi-
tions. The Federal scrap control
program, he asserted, has fallen into
