Big Firms Will Win
Renegotiation Acts
Repeal, FuImer Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Fulmer of the House
Agriculture Committee said last
night that big war contractors were
busily propagandizing for repeal of
the War Profits Renegotiation Act,
ito get away with untold profits"
and predicted they would succeed.
The South Carolinian, who fire.
quently expresses the views of the
congressional farm bloc, spoke over
the Blue network, deploring what
he termed the unfair treatment of
agriculture.
The only safeguard the Gov
ernment has in connection with
plus profit contracts is the renego-
tiation provision passed by the Con-
gress." he said.
Those who operate under Gov
ernment contracts. especially the
large monopolistic groups, are now
flooding Congressman and the coun-
try with tons and tons of propa-
ganda-in the press, magazines and
by mail-urging repeal of the re-
negotiation provision, having in
mind being in position to get away
with untold profits.
Hearings to Be Held.
Because of the influence of these
groups, with the assistance of i'm
portant departments which seem to
be under the control of these large
groups, regardless of the unfairness
of the request, I predict they will
procure sufficient votes In Congress
to repeal this one safeguard in be-
half of the taxpayers of the coun-
try.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee will begin hearings Septem-
ber 9 on proposals for revision of
the renegotiation statute
Representative Fulmer proposing
fixing of prices on agricultural prod
ucts to assure farmers fair re-
turns, declaring II can assure you
you are not going to be able to
keep them marching, rolling or
flying unless you can keep them
eating"
He deplored what he termed the
large profits of "middlemen." His
committee soon will begin an in
vestigation of dealers in agricultu-
raj commodities between the farm
er and consumer.
High Fruit Prices Assailed.
To-day our farmers, including
dairymens, poultrymen and cattle
and hog producers, are being backed
up against wall, and they cannot
properly proceed, even based on pa
triotism, unless their serious prob
lens are given prompt and favorable
consideration, including definite,
fair. fixed prices, with assurances
in line with war contractors and
war industries against crop losses
and unfair prices during and fol-
lowing the end of this war" Mr..
Fulmer said.
He said housewives now were be-
ing robbed, with unfair, unreason-
able, high prices on fruits and veg
etables." adding:
L priced peaches within one block
of the Capitol today. They were 27
cents per pound, $3.50 per bushel.
1 tried to sell sweet potatoes this
week from my farm. I was offered
So to 81 per bushel. Sweet potatoes
are selling here in Washington at

There's the recreation hall or "rec
tent" as the khaki boys call il. 80.
Army's special service has provided
equipment for this. including a
combination radio player. The men
spin the wax plate and listen to the
tunes Of famous orchestras. =. On
the shortwave they listen to news
from the u. S. "A. and direct from
there some OF their favorite pro-
grams. A twist of the dial brings
on the Toxic broadcaSting station. {.
From there, often, they hear Miss

whose exaggerated revealings OF
extraordinary victories for the Nips
are both ridiculous and amusing.
There's the baseball diamond and
the basketball and volleyball courts
whore the men compete, with each

themselves physically at. =. Down
at the rec tent there's the ping pons
table and also the checkers and
cards tables. and other types OF
games.

I'VE so far have not attempted
TO determine the causes OF absen-
teeism," Harvey Jackson, publicity
director said. All we know al
