O'ConneII Reveals PIons;

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. .
NEW YORK, June 22.-Ambrose
O'Conneu, executive vice chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, said last night the organization
lis preparing for use in the next
campaign a record of the accom-
plishments of the administration, a
description of the sordid mess the
President took over in 1882, and the
upward trend of business since that
time"
In a speech at a Thomas Jefferson
dinner in the Commodore Hotel un-
der auspices of the New York State
Democratic Committee, Mr.. O'Con-
nell said the National Committee
was preparing for campaign use a
list Of various governmental agencies
with an account of what each had
done.
1T is also compiling" he said, "a
chronology showing how Republicans
in Congress voted against prac-
tically every defense measure, thus
severely handicapping the fight for
freedom, and showing the strategy
and the activities of the opposition
in the present war congress"
Mr.. O'Connell said the Democratic
party's purpose "in relation to the
election of 1914" was to present "a
campaign of education; one that
will clarity the whole conduct of
the war and throw a clear white
light Of truth on the activities of
both the fighting front and the
home 'front.'"
Speaker Rayburn said that "We
must follow the leader-others can
take whatever platform they like,
but as long as Franklin D. Roose-
welt is commander in chief he de-
serves and shall have my uncom-
planning support"
The Texas representative declared
that those who complained the
most about the conduct of the war
were those who opposed appropri-
ations for airplanes and the fortifi-
cation of the Island of Guam. He
added:
God pity us and this country if
they had had their way, in view of
what the Japanese planned and
carried out"
Speaker Rayburn said that Con-
gress cannot win this war "and it
knows it," He added that Congress
has done its duty by appropriating
every possible dollar for prosecution
of the war.

from deficiencies in its news and
news-picture service.
The extent to which denial of
A. P. service is a handicap to a
morning newspaper of any substan-
tial size" the brief continued, "is
strikingly manifested by the fact
that the A. P. service is the uni
versal first choice of such papers. I"
The handicap imposed by denial
of A. P. service is not merely that,
as in the case of the Chicago Sun,
the paper may, as result. be unable
to procure news-pictures of the three
news-picture agencies and that the
news service furnished by such other
news agency as 1t selects Is not as
adequate for its own needs as the
A. P. service. No matter how far
in the forefront any one news agency
may be- each of the other two major
agencies necessarily has its own day
to-day beats. and from time to
time. news reports with other points
of superiority"
A. p. Given Weeks to Answer.
AN A. P member is, generally
speaking, free to fortify its COM
petitive position by obtaining the
services of both or either of the
other two major news agencies. A
non-member paper, on the other
hand, is not free to obtain the
services of all three news agencies
and is never free to obtain the
services of the agency Of first choice

875-MiIIion Farm Bill
Is Returned 10 House
With 5 Disputed Items
Conferees Hope, However,
For EorIy Accord on
Senote Amendments
BY the Associated Press.

The storm-laden $875 ,000, 900 farm
appropriations bill went back to the
House today with five major items,
including Senate allowances OF
$3.50, 100000 for the Farm Security
Administration, still in sharp dispute.
Despite failure to agree on this as
well as on a Senate amendment in
creasing soil conservation payments
from $300,000,000 to $4O0, ,O00, ,00O
conferees talked optimistically of
prospects for an early accord on
the bill.
129 Clauses Settled.
They based their hopes on the
fact that in three meetings they
composed differences on nearly 129
Of 134 amendments added by the
Senate to the $715,000, 900 in appro-
priations previously approved by the
House.
Meetings will be resumed after
presentation OF the first conference
reports to the two chambers.
Besides FSA and soil conservation
payments, still In dispute were Sen
ate allowances of $1,000 900 to con-
tinue administration of insurance
on wheat and cotton crops; increas-
ing Rural Electrification Admins
tration loans from $20,000,0OO to
100000 and authorizing the Ag-
riculture Department to continue
parity payments on l943 and 1914
crops.
Agreement was reached on a pro-
vision authorizing the Regional
Agricultural Credit Corp. to con-
tinue to make new loans where pri-
Yates agencies fail to offer COM
parable terms, and on an Agriculture
Department expenditure of $50
600 for aiding school milk and lunch
programs.
Difference on Dollars"
The Senate voted the FSA $780,
100000 for administration of its
rural rehabilitation loan program,
including servicing of loans and
grants. but House conferees were
unwilling to go higher than $4,000
900.
The House conferees would not
approve more than $50,000,000 in
borrowing authority for the making
of new rehabilitation loans by FSA,
for which the Senate voted $97, ,500,-
900. There were prospects for an
agreement on s30,0o0000 for loans
to tenants to purchase farms.
The bill contained virtually moth
ing for the FSA as it left the House.
but Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama said:
II think the House conferees will
agree to the continuance of FSA.
The principal difference now is in
dollars"

BY the Associated Press.
CANBERRA, Australia, June o.
Prime Minister John M. Curtin de-
clared tonight that President Roose-
welt had promised Australia enough
planes to increase the RAAF's
strength by so per cent.
Replying to a motion of non-
confidence offered by Former Prime
Minister Arthur w. Fadden, Mr..
Curtin said External Affairs Minis
ter H. v. Evatt had obtained the
pledge in his recent visit to WASH
ington.
The opposition charged the gov
ernment with gross bungling Of the
food and manpower problems and
declared Mr.. Curtin was injuring
Australia's reputation at home and
abroad by inaction, unnecessary in
reference with industry and failure
to check strikes and absenteeism in
industry.
Mr.. Curtin replied that Mr.. Fad
den failed to recognize the govern
ment's overriding responsibility was
the war effort. He said Mr.. Fad
den's motion was chiefly an exami-
nation of the domestic scene which
all must realize could not be normal
under war conditions.

killed and missing and Russian
losses at 4,20O, 900 in dead and miss
ing.
Germany has lost 42,4OO tanks,
$500 guns and $4,000 planes, as
compared with Russian losses of
10000 tanks, $4,000 guns and $4,000
planes, said the communique, which
was recorded by the Soviet monitor
here. 1t asserted that the Germans
have lost the main part of their
first-line divisions and described
Hitler's defeat before Moscow "as
the decisive event of the Second
World War"
Today's anniversary found the
millions of soldiers facing each
other along the front virtually dead
locked, with activity confined to
artillery exchanges, scouting forays
and continuous exchange of
aerial blows.
Hitler's delay in launching his
third summer offensive-the 1912
drive was begun on June 11-and re-
ports that he is moving substantial
reinforcements into France, have led
some observers to predict that he
has abandoned hope Of knocking
Russia out of the war.
The special communique said that
while the Red Army has been
strengthened with hundreds Of new
factories, German industry is pow
erless to replace its losses.
Material Aid Increasing.
Our Allies are increasingly help
ing the Soviet people with material"
it said, and declared the Soviet alli-
ances with the United States and
Great Britain "have proved their
strength during this year"
In its reference to a second front
the announcement said:
Absence of a second front in
Europe saved Hitlerite Germany
from defeat in 1912. AS is known,
the Hitlerites used this breathing
space for new wide offensive
against the Soviet Union in the
summer and autumn of last year.
ITO miss the favorable conditions
which have been created now for the
opening of second front in Europe
in 1943, to be late with it, means in
flicting serious damage to our COM
mon cause.
ITO delay second front in Europe
against Fascist Germany means to
protract the war, which means a
colossal increase in victims.
"On the other hand, the organiza-
tion of second front in Europe this
year would bring about quick ter
mination Of the war and conse-
quently colossal decrease of victims
on the the side of the anti-Hitler
coalition"

Fullest Possible News
Is Announced Goal Of
Hoyt, owl Subchief
New Head of Domestic
Broneh Says He Will
Shun Propaganda
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Palmer Hoyt, new director of the
Office of War Information's domestic
branch, outlined today a policy OF
giving the American people straight
information about the war" without
"propagandizing."
"This means there will be nc
pamphleteering from this Office
Mr.. Hoyt, publisher of the Portland
Oregonian, said in a statement
which augmented a brief press con-
ference late yesterday
1T also means that this Office will
yield to no political pressure, and
will serve no political interests. This
is an Office of War Information: it
will deal only with information
about the war"
Quips at Own Status.
Mr.. Hoyt, who described himself
as lifelong Republican, smilingly
remarked that he appeared before
the reporters as ''one who has been
abolished"
That was an allusion to the
Houses action last week in voting
to withhold all funds from Owls
domestic branch for the fiscal year
beginning July !. The Senate has
not yet acted.
The Portland publisher said he
had accepted the appointment for
six months because I am convinced
that its operations are absolutely
vital to the conduct of the war and
to the interest of the entire country"
He added that he had clear under
standing with Director Elmer Davis
that he would have full authority,
assuming funds are restored, to op-
crate the domestic branch accord
ing to the freest standards of the
American press"
The domestic branch of Owl will
devote all of its energies to giving
the American people as full and
accurate information about the war
as is possible. 1t will deal with the
public only through the established
media that go to make up the Amer
lean press-and by the press I mean
not only the newspapers, but radio,
magazines and motion pictures"
Seeks Full Information.
These are the three major func-
tons of the domestic branch, in Mr..
Hoyts opinion:
To obtain the release of the full
est possible news from the military
fronts and on the military progress
of the war; to obtain and correlate
the news of the operations of all the
agencies of the Government con-
cerned with the war, and to make all
the news available to the public, as
quickly and clearly as possible,
through the media whose job 1t is
to inform the public.
This objective he described as "a
perfectly simple and sensible pro-
gram; it will be conducted in that
way"
Mr. Hoyt succeeds Gardner Cowles,
ir, who resigned long before the
congressional fight over Owl funds
to resume active direction of the Des
Moines Register and Tribune, of
which he is publisher.
Asked whether he would appear
before the Senate Appropriations
Committee in behalf of funds for
the domestic branch, Mr.. Hoyt re-
piled that he did not know, and
added:
Il certainly won't go unless I'm
invited"
