Agricultural Leaders
Seek Full Farm Price
Control for Davis
Ask Congressional Bloc
To Exert Pressure
On White House
4S the Associated Press.

ev the Associated Press.
National farm organization lead.
ers are turning to the congressional
rm bloc to bring pressure on
4.esident Roosevelt to give full au-
thority over farm prices to Chester
c. Davis, food administrator.
Reliable but unquotable sources
said today an effort is being made
to line up sufficient strength on
Capitol Hill to pass the Bankhead
bill over a possible presidential veto
and also for support of the Pace
bill, now in the Senate Agriculture
Committee.
The Bankhead bill, now before the
President would exclude farm ben
eft payments in figuring parity
price formulas for loans and farm
price ceilings
The Pace bill, which passed the
House and was returned to COM
mittee by the Senate for further
study, would include farm labor
costs in figuring parity prices.
Discussed With Roosevelt.
Both measures would have the
effect of raising farm prices, an
end sought by the farm organiza-
tions which are against the admin
istration policy of subsidies on Ger
tain farm products.
Congressional leaders discussed
farm problems with Mr.. Roosevelt
yesterday, but Speaker Rayburn re-
ported the Chief Executive offered
no indication as to whether he will
veto the Bankhead bill.
The Speaker said the discussion
was along general lines," including
plans for the 38-Nation conference
this month on postwar food prob
lens and related subjects.
When Mr.. Roosevelt met with
farm organization leaders Secretary
of Agriculture Wickard and Mr..
Davis he was described as having
made no commitment on the request
that Mr.. Davis be given full control
over prices.
Mr.. Roosevelt will meet again
Wednesday with this group, includ-
ing Edward A. ONeal, president of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton; Albert S. Goss, master of the
National Grange; James c. Patton,
president of the National Farmers
Union, and Ezra T. Benson. execu-
tive secretary of the National Coun-
Gil of Farmers Co-operatives.
Hearings Next Tuesday.
Informed sources said that, if the
President has not yet given Mr..
Davis additional power by that time.
the farm organizations would press
for congressional support of the
two measures.
Spokesman for the organiza tions
say that, if the control over farm
prices is transferred to Mr.. Davis
from the Office of Price Administra-
ton, they believe he would give more
consideration to using the price
mechanism to adjust upward indi-
vidual price ceilings to insure greater
production of certain products.
The Senate Agriculture Commit
tee will begin hearings on the Pace
bill next Tuesday, at which time
Mr. Wickard and Mr.. Davis will be
called for testimony.

THE EVENING WASHINGTON D. G., THURSDAY
Daniel Tobin Absent
From Peace ParIey
OF Clio and AFL
President Of Teumsters
Despoirs Of Achieving
Unity in Labor Comps
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Daniel J. Tooin, president Of the
AFL's largest union, the teamsters,
failed to appear yesterday for a
meeting of the Joint AFL-C1O Peace
Committee and is ready to resign
from the committee because, he says,
he despairs Of achieving unity.
Mr.. Tobin wrote in the Teamsters'
Magazine:
Individual selfishness, a great
desire on both sides for its full Is
ounces of its pound Of flesh, and the
desire to wrangle over small matters
to the injury of the great multitude
of the workers, in my Judgment, will
make it impossible to reach an
understanding or agreement.
Some men on both sides are so
hungry for ofhcership. and so timid
about hurting the feelings of some
other leaders who they know are in
the wrong, that they will not help
to bring about an agreement.
Losing Hope for Agreement.
L will be happy If some one else
is appointed in my place on this
committee by the federation. be-
cause am losing all hope of an
understanding or agreement being
reached for the interest and for
the preservation of the membership
of labor"
Mr.. Tobin said he originally had
refused to serve on the peace COM
mittee and accepted only after
President Roosevelt made per-
sonal appeal. The joint peace COM
mittee met last December l and 2
and agreed to arbitrate jurisdic-
tional disputes. However, the con-
ferees wrote supplementary agree
ment, not made public at the time,
containing the reservation that no
legal rights were to be waived in
any dispute.
Yesterdays conference was con-
sidered resumption of the Decem-
Der meetings. with merger of the
two organiza tions the ultimate goal.
A three-hour session ended with no
announcement except that the COM
mittee would meet again today.
Other AFL peace negotiators were
not certain what kept Mr.. Tobin
from yesterdays meeting. William
l.. Hutcheson, president of the
Brotherhood Of Carpenters, merely
shrugged his shoulders when he was
asked whether Mr.. Tobin was ex-
pected to join the conferees today.
On the AFL side, besides Mr.. Hut
cheson, were Harry Bates, president
Of the bricklayers; George Meany,
AFL secretary-treasurer, and Ed
ward Flore, president of the Hotel
and Restaurant Employees. CIO
representatives were Philip Murray.
president of the C1O. and Julius
Emspac, secretary of the United
Electrical, Radio and Machine
Workers.
Attacks CIO-Kaiser Dispute.
Mr.. Tobins article said the Kaiser
shlpyards dispute has been brought
about by the aggressiveness of one
man within the CIO, John Green,
who had no members in the Kaiser
plant, but who. through his or
ganizers. was successful in getting
a few discontented individuals to
make a plea in their behalf"
Mr.. Green is president of the CIO
Marine and Shipbuilding Workers
Union. which contends that Kaiser
employees have been denied a legal
right to choose a bargaining agent

ALL THAT WE NEED
IS OFFERED

Johnny was trying to sell his papers; it was very cold and people did not like to stop long enough to buy one, but hurried by as quickly as they could. The poor little fellow did. not have an oversoat and the cold was hard to bear. He longed for a cup of hot coffee but he had no money to buy one.
 Then a man came along who mo- ticed him; he stopped, and Johnny said, Buy a paper, sir?"
 q don't really need one" replied the man, "but would you like some money to get a warm drink?"
 "Yes, indeed sir, thank you. that is just what I want"
 The man pulled out a handful of coins from his pocket and said, "Here. you may have one piece"
 Johnny picked up a nickel. Thank you," and started off. Then lie turned back.
 Mister, you said I could take one piece; may I take another tn- stead of this?"
 Certainly" answered the man,
 Johnny then picked out a dime, putting back the nickel He started away again looking at his dime. Then he turned back.
 Mister did you mean that I could have any coin I like?"
 "Yes sonny, that is what said. 9 This time Johnny passed by the uickels dimes, and quarters and picked up the biggest coin in the mans hand. It was a fifty-cent piece.
 He held il up, questioning. That's right said the man. you may have it."
 We are like that little newsboy; without God we are cold, unclad, hungry, lonely and homeless. But the heavenly Father offers us all that we need in Jesus, His great gift to us. If we take the smallest blessing we cheat ourselves; if we take the largest, all that He offers We please Him far more than if we took sparingly of His love.

WASHINGTON While all eyes have been centered on the postwar futare of aviation, with occasional distractions as to what the auto- mobile of tomorrow will be like. railway men have been quietly map ping postwar plans for the battle of the century in a fight to hold passenger traffic when peace comes
 Railway Age" one of the mag aliues of the industry, has just completed survey which will make the overall plans of the rail men public for the first time but many of us in the capital haVVe known that something was in the wind.
 Representative of the industry here in Washington have been working behind the scenes for some tune. because it is here in rate hearings before the Interstate Com merce Commission, that the picture ultimately will be given it's public unveiling.
 Already, there is a move on foot 10 reduce passenger fares before the war ends. Some would like to see il right now. And the rates they are talking are one to One-and-a- quarter cents a mile in coaches and one cent more for first class fares In many cases tthat would be lower than excursion rates which attract ad trainloads in pre-War days.
 To Hold, Win Customers
 The reason the rail men Wah' these rates now is two-fold. It ii easier, they say, to hold customer than to win them. The tremendous clientele they have built up durlhe the war can be in part continued | fares are attractive enough.
 Also. because both aviation ane auto industry will have the edge ol them in getting new equipment lh to operation.

 TO CALL PRE-WAR FATHERS

TACOMA - Despite presidential approval of the father-draft bill, Colonel DeLong, Washington state Director of Selective Service, said this week he expects to call 1900 to 200O fathers into the Army and Navy in January.
 The bill will have virtually nc effect in Washington because the state has been following a policy set forth in the measure.

YOUR CAPITAL IN WARTIME

One of the bright lads in the news corps here stormed the OPA citadel the other day with a request for a picture layout on the new plastic ration tokens He explained that these black-and-Whit repro auctions would go to more than L. GOO newspapers and would give the ration-ridden public a preview of the simplified token system.
 The minor official with whom he first took it up thought it was a good idea but explained he would have to get an okay from upstairs The bright young lad came back the next day and was given a hazy brushoff. The same thing happened the next day and the next
 A little puzzled, he finally de manded a showdown-and got it. The brass hats had decided there could be no advance pictures of the ration tokens.

 What Price Winter?
 Jerry Kluttz, the Washington col umnist whose sharp news-nose is always stuck into the affairs of fed eral employees, has this story to tell about 1943 boondoggling:
 Some 40 women are employed as flower gardeners at the Pentagon building-the Armys five-sided gar gantuan office headquarters across the Potomac in Virginia. Since there are no flowers to garden these winter months, the 40 ladies have tried to break the monotony by sweeping the sidewalks, picking up trash etc.
 A number of the women, a little conscienco-stricken about drawing salaries for doing nothing, have tried to resign. They have been mo- tified that they can't resign-theiT jobs, they were told, are frozen for the duration.

KODIAK DIARY

Of all the many stories and tales told in connection with the occupation of Attu and Kiska, we heard one, finally, that we believe we can repeat without getting into difficulties with cen- sorship
 This one concerns Attu. After the campaign had dwindled down to the mopping up stage some of the boys were told they were going to leave Attu. One officer objected vociferously, as he hadn't got his Jap yet. His commanding officer, understand ing hls feeling in the matter. told him he could have one more chance at getting one, and also told him how to go about it.
 "See that ridge away over there, the c. o. said, well, you go oyer there and climb it, and when you get to the top take cover, and then, at the top of your voice, start yelling I hate Hirohito! I hate HirohitoP Then see what happens"
 The officer was delighted, and started out on his mission. After sweating across the rugged ter rain he reached the ridge and climbed it, took cover as instruct ] ed and began yelling "I hate Hirohitol l hate HirohitoW
 His voice echoed eeriely in the foggy wastes and for just an Tn .stant the officer thought nothing was coming of his strategy, when from five different spots five Japs suddenly popped up.
 To the officers surprise, the Japs all began yelling We hate
  Roosevelt! We hate RooseveltW, they screamed again and again. Later, the c. O. asked, did you see any Japs?"
 Yes, replied the officer.
 "Did you shoot one?" pressed the c o.
 "No", said the officer, "I couldn't. They were all Re publicans.
