The House and Senate were ap-

day on q major phase Of the Agri-
culture Departments war food
production program-the sale Of
Government-owned grains for live
stock feed at below parity prices.
The administration is insisting on
the right to make sales at such

largest possible production of meat,
dairy and poultry products for war
needs.
For the second time in less than
q month. the House voted yesterday,

Navy Officer Builds
Own Steam Car and
Laughs al Gas Crisis
1t. Leland SprinkIe's
Auto Runs on Almost
Any Kind Of Fuel

These days, 1t. Leland w. Sprinkle,
U. S. N. r., finds himself feeling q
little like Noah.
Everyone laughed at him, a couple
of years ago. when he sat down to
build that steam-driven automobile.
What do you want with q
steamer, when you can have . gaso-
line engine?" the scofiers asked.
1t. Sprinkle didn't say anything.
but he just kept gathering the parts,
two by two, until he had put to-
gether fine limousine that not only
would run just as well as gaso-
line engine, but would run on any
thing from wood to fuel oil.
These days, he drives comforta-
bly, to work while the scoffers are
hanging on straps in buses. gasping
for breath. Like Noah, he rides the
waves, snug and triumphant.
Designed Car Himself.
1t. Sprinkle's automobile is some
thing he designed and helped put
together himself. Everyone thinks
it's just version of the old Stanley
steamer, but it is entirely different,
he insists.
For one thing, he has invented
special boiler which can't blow
up. Boilers which exploded gave the
old steam autos a bad name. His
car has no pilot light and has lot
Of other refinements over the old
steamers. He runs 1t on furnace
oil, but it can be converted to coal
or almost anything.
He owns a gasoline car, but would
rather drive the steamer any day.
The steam car is easier to drive
than gasoline-driven vehicle. He
was stopped at traffic light at a
crossroads the other day when some
young men drove up beside him
and started to make fun of the
steamer.
Want to race away from the
light?" he asked.
When the light changed he
stepped down on the accelerator
and sped away, leaving the young
men and their new gasoline engine
far behind. He has driven the car
faster than IS miles an hour and
it can go as fast backward as for
ward.
Il didn't build it because I fore
saw a gasoline shortage" he ex-
planned. 1T was just that I am
interested in steam. I think that
steam cars are better. I just had
to build one The fact that the
gasoline shortage came along just
helps me prove the point"
1t. Sprinkle just recently received
his Navy commission and expects to
be sent to Harvard to give instruc-
ton in mathematics to Navy cadets.
He was financial mathematician at
the FHA before going on active duty

This action was taken q day after
the Senate had voted to stick by
its proposal to allow the Govern
ment to sell up to 125 100000 bushels
of wheat at prices equivalent to IS
per cent of the parity price for
corn.
In no mood to recede from pre-
viously taken positions. the House
voted also to stand pat on sharp
reductions it would make In funds
for the Farm Security Administra-
tons programs for aiding low-in-

quence, both bodies continued In
disagreement on these funds.
Both the feed-grain and the FSA
issues were sent back to a House.
Senate conference committee which.
after many meetings, has been un-
able to reconcile the differences.
These issues tied up funds for
operation of the Agriculture De-
| partment for the fiscal year begin

that If the controversies were not
settled in the meantime, Congress
would by resolution authorize the

White House
Continued From First Page

the President and the Prime Min
lister covered very fully all of the
major problems of the war, which
is conducted by the United Nations
on every continet and in every sea.
I'VE have taken full cognizance of
our disadvantages as we'll as our ad-
vantages. We do not underrate the
task
We have conducted our confer
ences with the full knowledge of the
power and resourcefulness of our
enemies.
In the matter of the production
OF munitions of all kinds. the survey
gives on the whole an optimistic pic
ture. The previously planned
monthly output has not reached the
maximum but is fast approaching it
on schedule.
Because of the wide extension of
the war to all parts of the world;
transportation Of the fighting forces,
together with the transportation of
munitions of war and supplies, still
constitutes the major problem Of
/ the United Nations.
While submarine warfare on the
part OF the Axis continues to take
heavy toll of cargo ships, the actual
production of new tonnage is great
| ly increasing month by month. It
Is hoped that as result of the
steps planned at this conference the
representative navies will further
reduce the toll of merchant Ship
ping.
The United Nations have never
been in such hearty and detailed
agreement on plans for winning the
war as they are today.
we recognize and applaud the
Russian resistance to the main at
tack being made by Germany and
We rejoice in the magnificent re-
slstance Of the Chinese Army. De-
tailed discussions were held with
our military advisers on methods to
be adopted against Japan and the
relief of China.
while exact plans. for obvious
reasons, cannot be disclosed, it can
be said that the coming operations
which were discussed in detail at our
Washington conferences, between
ourselves and our respective military
advisers, will divert German strength
| from the attack on Russia.
THE Prime Minister and the
President have met twice before,
first in August, 194l. and again in
December, 1941. There is no doubt
in their minds that the over all pic
ture is more favorable to victory
than it was either in August or De-
cember of last year."

Mountains of Wealth

The Andes mountains are full Of
metal, silver, gold, copper and tin.
The mines at Potosi alone have pro-
duced silver to the value of more
than three billion dollars since 1545.
Many of the Bolivian Indians know
Of many old mines unworked since
the days of the Incas. Occasionally
an Indian disappears for a few days
returning with his pockets full Of
nuggets. They will hardly ever re-
veal their knowledge for fear Of
death to themselves and families.
One of the few exceptions was when
an Indian, in return for the present
of cow, showed the entrance to an
old mine that turned out amaz-
ingly rich.
