The anti-subsidy legislation was
contained in measure to extend
the Commodity Credit Corporation

expiration Dec. 81. The CCC has
been supplying the funds from
which the administration has been
paying out professor subsidies to

ban such subsidies after Jan. l.
Inasmuch as Steagall was the bills
floor manager, his death may delay
the vote by more than just day
AS a result of Differs death in
Pennsylvania, and before Steagalls
death became known house leaders
had planned to call for an ADJOURN

American Thrust
May Force laps
Fleet to Battle
Seizure of Gilbert
AtOlls Regarded as
Stab at Philippines

WASHINGTON, Nov. %.
(UP)-The American inva-
sion of the Gilbert islands,
important outer link in Jap
ans chain of Pacific defens-
es, was viewed by military experts
today as the stroke that may final
ly force the Japanese fleet out of
hiding for long g-awaited show
down.
The weekend thrust at Tarawa
and Maxim in the Gilbert group,
marking the first direct American
attempt to seize enemy bases in
the central Pacific, represented a
serious potential threat to the Phil
ippines, heart of the powerful ring
of defenses guarding the japanese
homeland.
Military men here believed the
Gilbert operations were preliminary
moves toward eventual reconquest
of the Philippines b. direct move
across the central Pacific. Thus,
they declared, the Japanese fleet
may we'll find it time to ride out
for the showdown which the u. S.
Pacific fleet has been seeking to
provoke for months.
IMPORTANT STEP
The move into the Gilborts also
represented another important step
in the general strategic pattern
unfolding against Japan-the initial
blow in the forging of a northern
arm of an Allied pincers slowly
closing in on Truk, Japan's Pearl
Harbor." Lying some 1900 miles
west of the Gilberts, Truk also is
the ultimate objective of a south
ern arm being extended by Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's forces towards
Rabaul in New Britain.
In the short range view, immed-
late aim of the present Gilbert
operations appeared to be acquisi-
ton of air bases from which to at
tack the adjacent Marshall islands
The Marshalls, under Japanese
mandate for more than two decades,
are heavily fortified. but they must
be seized before any drive on the
Philip ppines can be undertaken. In
japanese hands, both groups would
threaten the southern flank of any
westward push by American forces
through the central Pacific.
A corollary of the Gilberts action
was expected to be an attempt to
retake Wake island. which the jap

Two SubsidyF Foes
Die: Delays Vote

WASHINGTON, Nov. % (UP) =
The sudden death of two leading
foes of the administration food
subsidy program delayed a house
vote on the issue, previously sched-
uled for today, until later in the
week.
Approximately II hours after Rep.

Steagall 70, was chairman of the
powerful house banking and cur

foes of subsidies.

every promise of wiping out the

Fresh Red army tanks and sup

The Germans still were attacking

THIRD GAINS
The gains by Gen. Sir Bernard
L. Montgomery's troops were the
third in as many days since Allied
forces started moving despite the
mud and flooded rivers and streams.
However, the Fifth army's front on
the west remained practically un-
changed. Artillery duels continued.
Official reports said the Ger

Meanwhile the strategy committee
of the farmers of the valley declar-
ed that they still are determined in
the refusal to turn the irrigation
district over to the labor unions.
"Positiin and policies of the dis
trict board and the farmers remains
the same" the statement said. They
will not recognize the labor unions
as the sole representative of the
employees of the irrigation district.
CONFUSE ISSUE
There is a great effort on the
part of the labor unions to confuse
the issue by lot of so-called griev-
ances and complaints which have no
bearing on the real issue, which is:
shall the irrigation district be turn
ed over to the labor unions or not?'
Efforts of the labor unions,
through different sources, are being
continuously made as a part of
their plan to get the district board
of directors to recognize the union
as the representative of the dis
trict employees.
The district boards policy to-
ward its employees remains the same
as in the past. The board will con-
tinue to recognize and discuss with
district employees or their own COM
mittee and all problems.

Nazis Say Samos
Island Recaptured

LONDON, Nov. 90. CUP)-The
German DNB news agency said
today that Nazi forces have cap
tured Samos, the last major Allied
holding in the Aegean sea.
There was no immediate confir-
nation but military observers in
London had been pessimistic abut
the prospect of holding Samos.
The German attack against the
island was launched late last week.
Lero, 30 miles south of Samos,
was captured by the Germans last
Tuesday after five-day battle.
Samos, Lero and Cos were oc-
cupied by British forces at the
time Of the Italian capitulation
last September, in an apparent ef-
fort to obtain a foothold in the
