U. 5. 10 Buy and Sell
| More Food 10 Control
Prices, Paper Reports
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 12.-The New
York Times says that according to
reports now current the Govern
ment plans to purchase and resell
an increasingly larger part OF the
Nations food supply as a means Of
aiding enforcement OF price control
and other food orders.
The Times says the administra-
tion is determined to use subsidies
wherever possible to prevent further
food price increases but that "any
further rollback in food prices
through the use of subsidies in the
near future probably is out OF the
question"
Under the purchase and resale
program, the Government would buy
the food at one price and sell it at a
lower price in order to prevent price
increases, the story says, adding:
such a program is being en-
ployed with success already. canned
goods and cheese being examples
and officials agree that the method
will be extended wherever possible
Since the purchase and resale
by the Government is, in most in
stances, a bookkeeping transaction
the concern handling the food be-
comes the Governments agent and
receives payment from the Gov
ernment.
This procedure gives controls
that are lacking in the instances
where the professor, or handler,
as the case may be. does not look
directly to the Government for a
| part of his revenue"

Syracuse, Captured by Allies,
IS Rich in Historical Interest

at one time defied successfully the
Carthaginians, who sought to bring
Sicily under their sway. The Athe-,
mans wanted 1t also, but the city
fought them of in one Of the great
est sieges of ancient times, lasting
from AIS B. C. to Alb B. c.
Syracuse was at the zenith OF its
greatness at the beginning of the
fourth century, BIC, under the
leadership of Dionysius the Elder.
Less than a century later. in 212
BIC, it fell before the victorious
Roman legions and from this point
the Importance of the city rapidly
declined. The most famous name
connected with the ancient city was
that of Archimedes, who was killed
in the taking of the city ky the
Romans.
Syracuse possesses a curious ar
chitectural monument in its cathe-
dral, which was built about an an
cient Doric temple, whose numerous
lofty columns form part of the edi-
flee. Among other objects Of in
terest within the city are the build
ing known as the Temple of Diana.
the famous Fountain Of Arethusa,
and some of the old palaces. On
the mainland are to be seen relics OF
classical Syracuse, scanty memorials
of the greatness OF the city. They
include walls and aqueducts, Greek
and Roman amphitheaters. palaces
and shrines and miles OF Christian
catacombs.

Hull Sees U. 5. Aid
To SiciIian Civilians

Secretary of State Hull expressed
belief today that the Foreign Relief
and Rehabilitation Administration,
headed by Herbert H. Lehman, is
collaborating with similar relief Or
ganizations Of other governments
to aid the civilian population behind
the line of battle in Sicily.
Mr.. Hull told his press conference
however. that he was not advised
as to any details of this operation.
The Allied campaign in Sicily was
described by the Secretary as the.
second greatest historical. step in
connection with the invasion and
occupation of continental Europe.
While it is not surprising, he said, it
is matter of the greatest gratifica-
ton TO see that thus TAR the inva-
sion movement is progressing sue
cessfully.
In reply to other questions, Mr..
Hull said the first meeting of the
Interim Commission created by the
United Nations Food Conference at
Hot Springs, Va, last month would
hold its first meeting in the Archives
Building here July Is. The In
terim Commissions task is to draw
up plans tor a permanent interna-

Syracuse, captured in the Allied
invasion Of Sicily, was one of the
greatest Hellenic cities of antiquity
and was founded by the Corinth-
ians in the latter part of the eighth
Century BE-.

chiefly to the fact that it has one
of the finest harbors on the coast Of
Sicily, deep enough for the largest
vessels.
