Price Control
tContinued From First Page)

section by amending the law, farm
bloc members made it plain any
such proposal would provoke bitter
controversy.
Senator Gillette, Democrat, OF
Iowa said he would oppose any
change of this nature and predicted
that it would be defeated. That
latitude of 10 per cent, he told re-
porters, was the only means OF
assuring farmers they actually would
get parity for what they produced.
He said most farm prices were fixed
on trading markets, and added that
no one who expected to make a re-
sale profit would bid price up to
full parity If he felt that a ceiling
was to be placed on the product at
that point.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat. Of
Wyoming asserted further that
parity, as it has been established in
the past, had lost its practical re-
lationship TO agricultural prices be-
cause the major share of industrial
production soon would be in war
goods and not the things that farm
ers buy.
Face Quiz on Veto Power.
Secretary Wickard faced extensive
questioning from Agriculture Com
mittee members determined to learn
how he intended to use the veto
power he possesses over the fixing
of ceilings on farm products. Under
terms of the new law, Leon Hender-
son, who is to be named admins
traitor, cannot establish any farm
price which Secretary Wickard does
not approve.
Senator Gillette said committee
members especially wanted to learn
If the Agriculture Department was
going to use its power to throw
Government controlled crop sur.
pluses on the market in an effort
to keep prices down.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, OF
Alabama said he was convinced that
Secretary Wickard had no intention
of making surpluses available before
prices reach parity.
In signing the bill. President
Roosevelt warned that enactment OF
the legislation did not mean that
the fight against imitation had been
won. He called for vigorous enforce
ment of its provisions, adding that
undoubtedly the toes of a great
many people must be stepped on in
administering it.

Newspaper Operation
OF Radio Stations
Defended by Hays
Civil Liberties Counsel
Argues Curbs Would
Restrict Free Press

Arthur Garfield Hays, counsel for
the American Civil Liberties Union,
has become the latest witness to
defend the licensing of radio sta
tions to newspapers before the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
Mr.. Hays told the commission
yesterday that a newspaper had the
same right to operate a radio sta
tion as a preacher, a church, a de-
partment store, a movie theater, a
school or anyone else.
Restrictions against newspapers,
he said, would be IAN interference
with free speech"
Holds Free Speech Involved.
Mr.. Hays told the commission he
had been actively interested in mat
ters involving free speech since the
last World War.
"I think a question of free speech
Is involved here and a very funda-
mental one," he said. ut Is hard
to see how democracy can survive If
there is discrimination among people
because of their economic interest"
Mr.. Hays argued that the commits
sion's only function in passing upon
applications for broadcast stations
was to determine the question OF
public interest, convenience and
necessity from the standpoint of the
public without regard to an appli-
cant's other economic interests.
Says Monopoly Doesn't Enter.
He contended that monopoly was
not a question to be considered in
passing upon applications, but that
the commission should report to the
Department of Justice and possibly
to Congress If it found monopoly
existed. The monopoly laws, he said,
are general laws, and do not apply
to any particular class.
For the Government to diScrimi-
nate against any class in the licens-
ing of broadcast stations, Mr.. Hays
said, would be denial of equal
rights under the law" and setting
a precedent that would be very
hazardous"

 Forty Frenchmen were shot in re- prisal executions in occupied France yesterday. Thirty were executed at Caen and the others at Romor- antin.
 Sabotage of a German munitions train at Wire, south of CherbOurg, disclosed that French civilians were being forced to ride on such trains as hostages. Twenty-one French men were killed when the train eX- ploded after being derailed. There was no indication how many Ger mans died.
 Three paraehutlsts who landed at Wire shortly before the train was wrecked escaped the Germans who conducted h house-to-fonhe search. It was possible that they might have dropped from British planes which have been ranging over Oc- oupied France,

 Washington, May 7-CUP)-The Office of Price Administration added new restrictions to the sale of gas- oline today in preparation for the east coast rationing system which may allow some non essential mo- torists as little as two gallons a week.
 Tn an 1S-page instruction booklet sent to more than 250,000 rationing authorities, the OPA set the weekly quota for "non-essential" motorists at from two to six gallons, and pro- hibited the sale of gasoline for au- tomobile and motorboat racing. 4
 The two to six gallon range is not fixed arbitrarily and may be revised upward or downward. depending on the supplies available when ratiop- ing starts in the east May 15 or 16.
 The booklet, containing 15,000 words, was the first details exposi- ton of how the fuel dole will af- feet motorists in the IT Atlantic seaboard states and the District of Columbia.

 Motorists will be divided into three classes for rationing purposes. The "non-essentia" group will re- ceive "A" cards entitling the holder to seven units of gasoline, which may vary between two and six gall Ions, probably something less than five.

Important Center of Nazi War Industry in Southern Germany, Is Smashed for Third
 Straight Night

(Unlted Press Stan COrreSpOndent)
 London, May ' -(UP)- Large numbers of the Royal Air Forces heaviest bombers rained destruction early today on Stuttgart, important center of Nazi war industry in southern Germany, for the third straight night.
 A strong force of RAF planes, continuing the around the clock of- fensive that has been in progress, with minor Interruptions, since April II, passed high over the Channel toward occupied Frence before noon. Loud explosions from the direction of Boulogne were heard.
 The RAF was obviously giving Stuttgart "the Rostock treatment" Tn four consecutive nights Of att tacks, the great British bombers had level that important German Baltic port and airplane building center, with 300 tons of bombs.
 Last nights attack on Stuttgart was the heaviest of the three, al- though observers doubted that any of the three had been as heavy as those on Rostock, or on Luebeck, another Baltic port, because of weather conditions.
 Docks Again Bombed
 The air ministry announced that, besides attacking Stuttgart Gin force," the RAF had bombed the docks at Nantes, France, while fighters and bombers attacked en- emy airfields in German-occupied territory.
 Seven bombers were missing.
