FDR Outlines
 New Program
 To Peg Prices
By Associated Press

In a message to Congress and a later Iireside chat to the people this week, President Roosevelt proposed the stabilizatiou of wages and sal aries as part of a program designed to combat the upward spiral of cost of living Main features of his pro gram presented to Congress were.
 Heavy taxes; holding of personal and corporate profits at reasonable levels, stabilization cf prices re- ceived by farmers. Encouragement of credit instaIlment buying; ration Ing oI all essential and scarce com mouties; stimulation of war bond purchases
 The President said there are ob= vIous reasons for taking every step necessary to prevent rise in the cost of living, which already has moved upward about 15 per cent suce the autumn of l939 and might soar another SO or 90 per cent curing the next year or two.4 He said that during the war, mo An erIcau eltlzen ought To have net income, alter he paid his taxes, of more than S25,OOO a year
 Il believe staDilizing the cost ot nvlng to mean that wages in gen- eral can and should be Kept at the existing levels" he said
 The administration asked for a prlce-tixlng law to allow farm com- mouities 10 rise to 1l0 per cent of parity.
 We must fix ceilings on the prices winch consumers, retailers, n nolesalers and manufacturers pay .or the things they buy" he said. euding that ceilings on rent for -welnngs Ill all areas affected by . ar Inausuaes must be prepared.
 Urging that state, municipal aha -nnIIar ponds be subject to at least .LrtaXes, the President declared it
 IS lndeIensible that those who en- Joy large incomes from state and iocal securities should be immune 10 taxation while we are at war.
 The President expressed flat op-I position to suspension of the 40-I nour week law, saying:
 Most workers in the munitions industries are working far more than 40 hours a week and should continue to be paid time and one half for overtime. Otherwise, the weekly pay envelopes will be redue-I ed"

 Cut Off Burma Road
gZAssocialedzfess

The Japanese invaders Of Burma =torming and over running Lasaio and cutting the Burma road. today had driven a wedge between the relatively weak British and Chinese armies. The fall oI Lashio which had anchored the Allied left was an nouuced by the Chinese command. but tbe American field commander. Lieut. Gen. Joseph " sdlwell still was fighting a magnificent holdtns action in the vicinity of the Bur ma city.
 The enemys seizure Of Lashia. which Was the railhead of the only presently effective Allied supply line into China, had Ieft the BrIz tish right in great peril and all available information indicated that the British commander Gen Harold Alexander. was hastily falling back up the Irrawaddy river in an ef= fort 10 protect the approaches fa India and the projected alternate to the Burma road HON under con struction.
 If in this melancholy scene there was one bright spot il was the dogged and wholly unshakeu spirit Of resistance of the AHied commanz ders as evidenced by thefr apparent preparations to attempt another junction against all the oyerwhelmz ing power of the enemy as soon as eonyergiug counter attacks could be mounted.
 Elsewhere in the Pacific and h. dian oceans. it was quiet and inde- cisive. In Australia. the Allied com mand announced that new Amerf- can-Australian raids on the Japan ese base al Lac New Guinea. had smashed or damaged 20 enemy planes on the ground aside from selz ting off big fires Enemy counter raids on Port Moresby. New Guinea. were ineffective.
 Of the Philippines. Gen Douglas MacArthurs headquarters reported that the guns of the American forts in Manila Bay had smashed three enemy batteries and destroyed Il truck column on Bataan. The enemy was landing endorsements on Min danao island in an apparent final effort to destroy the little bands of American Filipino defenders.

 PAY IN TERRITORY

JUNEAU-Dr. James C. Ryan, Commissioner of Education, an nounced this week that he is mak- Ing application to the Federal Works Agency, under the second community Facilities Act, for a So0,0OO grant to supplement city and Territorial school funds to meet increased expenses brought a. bout by the war.
 This amount would be used to increase the salaries of teachers by SZOO a year. Dr. Ryan pointed out that the cost of living in Alaska has risen from 25 to 30 percent during the last year and that teachers are being asked to live on the same sal aries which were in effect in 1859. He said that many teachers have been lost because of the lower sal aries now being paid, and others have indicated they will leave at the end of the school year.
 Dr. Ryan said that although the Territorial Legislature appropriated more money than ever for schools in 1941. the change of events since then have brought the expense of operating the schools to a point where additional funds are needed.
