Gov. Blamed
 For Shortage

Albany. N. Y, Nov. 12 - (UP0- Governor Thomas F.. Dewey warned today of an impending shortage oi milk and eggs that would work a grave hardship on approximately 40, 900 ,000 people in his state and placed the blame on the federal government for a shortage of feed for COWS and chickens in New York and 12 other northeastern states.
 "The economic policies of the agencies of the national govern- ment have made 1t impossible for us to buy the 5000,000 bushels of feed grain required each month to maintain the supply of fresh milk and eggs for our people, Dewey said.
 Unless there is an immediate change in these policies, the people of New York state and the l2 other northeastern states will suffer grave hardship and impairment of their health and production he con- tinued, adding that the movement of grain to the northeast must commence immediately"
 Dewey's charges were based on Q report submitted by his emergency food commission and a group of ex- perts which recently completed a study of the grain supply in the midwest.

Director Lehman Plans Ally Food Aid

Atlantic City, Nov. l2. (UP)-- United Nations Relief Director Herbert H. Lehman today promised the starving people of occupied Europe and the Far East a diet ol 2,000 calories a day as soon as the Allied armies have liberated then from the Axis.
 At his first news conference since meeting of the council of the United Nations Relief and Rehabil- itation Administration yesterday elected him UNRRA's executive di- rector, Lehman, also described the task of repatriating 20,000,00 European refugees as "one of the most important and difficult fac ing UNRRA.
 The 2,000-calory target, he as- serted, will not have to be supplied from the. pantries of the United States and other Allied nations. A large part of 1t will be supplied, he said, from domestic production, which will be brought to it's fullest effectiveness as soon as possible, as was done in North Africa.
 It has not yet been decided whether this same degree of relief will be provided for Germany and her Allies.
 Headquarters in Washington
 UNRRA, he added, will make Its headquarters in Washington but will have regional offices in London and the Far East.

 BiU To Go To Senate Soon

Washington, Nov. 12 (UP)- House administration leaders ex- pected today to send the ways and means committees new $2,l42,900,- 900 tax bill to the senate in record time and virtually unchanged.
 The measure, calling for higher excise, corporate excess profits and postage levies, cleared the commit tee last night after the treasury'S $10 ,5O0, 100000 program was dis carded and sales tax proposals re- jected.
 House Democratic Leader John w. Mccormack of Massachusetts and Democratic whip Robert Rams peck of Georgia agreed to call up the bill for action next week, prob ably Monday.
 The strategy called for a deter mined fight in the senate to restore a portion of the administrators s original goal to combat the threat of imitation with greater drains on surplus income.
 Ways and Means Committee Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D., N. O., said his group will ask Tor rule for the tax bills considera- ton, presumably closed arrange ment barring amendments. That has been an accepted practice on form CT revenue bills. but several labor groups have contended that, in this Instance. 1t would amount to q gag They argued that the new tax bill does not tax adequately "high personal incomes, and un- paralleled corporate profits and large inheritances," while continuing disproportionately heavy burdens on the man with nehyer MIconle'

Allies Pinch Strangle Hold
 On German C Communications

London, Nov. 12-(UP)--Allied bombers tightening an aerial strangle-hold on Germany's bat tered communication with Italy have cut the coastal road through the French riviera in attacks from Briain and the Mediterranean the ater communiques announced today.
 Lieut.. Gen. Carl A. Spaatz's Liber- ators smashed by daylight yesterday at the coastal line in the Antheor area near Cannes, the third rail bottleneck to Italy to be bombed in "A hours.
 The Royal Air Force sent its bomberS down from Britain last night to insure the rupture of the line with bombardment of the Cannes yards and other key rail- road targets.
 The trip hammer aerial blows fol- lowed crippllng assaults by Amer- can and British heavy bombers on the Lyon-Turin line at the Mont Cenis tunnel and the Brenner Pass road at Bolzano.
 The tWo-way offensive against Nazi Europe was rounded out by Royal Air Force Mosquito bombers which attacked Berlin, Hanover and the Ruhr,
 While one flight of Llberators from the Mediterranean area hit Antheor, another bounded over the Alps to attack Annecy. the deepest point In France yet attacked from that theater.
 37 Days Bombings
 It was the third straight day that American heavy bombers had at- tackled two targets simultaneously in the Mediterranean zone.
 The raids not only severed the two main lines between Italy and France at least temporarily, but also prob ably all but cut of Germany from railway communication with north- ern Italy at time when the Nazi command was in the midst of fran tic preparations to meet possible Allied landings in northern Italy and possibly southern France.
 Northwest African Air Force bombers were believed to have shat tered the main railway link between Germany and Italy Wednesday with a raid on the Bonzano bottleneck on the Brenner Pass railway. This railway alone was inadequate to meet German demands in northern Italy and the Germans had been

More Trouble
 In Lebanon Over French

London, Nov. 12.--(UP)-British diplomatic agents were ordered by their government today to attempt a settlement of the Moslem crisis provoked by the French seizure of government leaders in Lebanon, and unofficial reports from Cairo said British troops might be dispatched if the French fail to restore order immediately.
 An official announcement said Harold MacMillian, British minister in Algiers, had been instructed to take up" the Lebanese situation with the French National committee of liberation ill Algiers.
 The British action followed many protests from Moslem leaders throughout the Middle and Near East against the French action. which reported to have touched off bloody rioting throughout Lebanon and it's neighboring French man. dated State of Syria.
 Cairo dispatches hinted strongly that British armed forces were pre- pared to rush into Lebanon and re- place the existing French martial law with their own military con- trol.
 Lebanese independence has been guaranteed by Great Britain, and 1t was considered likely, the Cairo dis patch said, that the entry of British troops would be followed by the res- toration of constitutional govern ment in Lebanon-which was sus- pended by the French yesterday.
 FarOuk Protests
 King Farouk of Egypt voiced the protest of the Moslem world in a strong statement to the French Ma tional committee and later con- ferred with the British and Amer ican envoys in Cairo.
 In Jerusalem, the Arab congress 0! chambers Of commerce passed q resolution calling for general strike of Arab workers next Satur- day protesting the French action.
 French sources in London indi- cated that the French themselves would try to settle the crisis them selves without British intervention, and 1t was reported that a delegate from the national committee in AL gierS would be sent to Lebanon-- possibly Gen. Charles De Gaullc.

WFA Assures Farmers

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 12--- (UP) -- War Food Administrator Marvin Jones today assured farmers they will receive prices high enough to enable them to continue record production of food. feed and fiber for the war program.
 Speaking at the annual conven- ton of the National Grange, Jones said the problem of 1044 prices will not be ignored by the administration because farmers must be assured of sufficient income to keep up pro- ductlon.
 Food production we must have, and 1t, too, can result from a wise and equitable sharing of responsibll- itieS and rewards he said. "The nation and the consumer should be willing to share that responsibility and enable the support of prices that are necessary
 Asking for the fullest cooperation of farm organizations, Jones indi- rectly appealed to the grange 10 sup port the administrators farm pro- gram despite the grange'S opposition to the use of subsidies which Is an integral part.
 Prices pad to farmers for their products, he said, should not be out of step with the national effort to hold the line of prices and to pre- vent imitation, which would be ruin ous to us all,"
 "The problem" he said, "is to get production and have support prices to the farmer high enough to ac- complIsh this without breaking the stabllIzation line. We used the commodity credit corporation funds to accomplish this in l043, and it proved highly successful.
 "It involved financial loss to the corporation. That loss was small compared to the results, The pro- gram worked. We want to continue 1t for Ia44 to assure again tho food production that we need for our armed forces and our other needs.
 "If this is Q subsidy or q loss it Is not unprecedented, We have used the same method for years In the form of supporting loans on basic farm commodities. They arc being used in industry to get pro- ductlon of necessary war materials, just as we have used them in aeri. culture"

iected by the committee were sug- gestions for q $6,700, ,000, ,000 increase in dividual Income taxes, $l,l00,- 100000 In corporate income levieS and $400,0oo,o00 in estate and gift taxes.

 The individual income Increases resulted from merging of the pres- ent five per cent victory tax with the six per cent normal income rate into . combined levy of 10 per cent on personal incomes.
 Exemption Adjustments
 About $12,000000 Of the commit tees boost would come through cX- emption adjustments and $l40,000,- GOO through elimination of deduc- tions now permitted for sums paid in direct excise levies.
 The committee stipulated that the tax shall not be less than three per cent of the net income in excess of a personal exemption of $500 for q single person, $700 for married per- sons, and $l00 as credit for each dependent.
 It also voted to change slightly personal income surtax rates to level of the victory tax merger. The levy would be adjusted downward for persons making over s6.000 but not over $l2,0O0 and increased in the category from $38,00o up, acc cording to committee spokesmen. The overall wield would not be altered.

MANv|LLE MEN FACE LOSS OF
 EMPLOYMENT

Employees who have worked steadily with the E. J. Man. vile Company for twenty and thirty years, contribut- ing to it's once highly re- spected industrial reputa- tion, are today faced with the loss of their jobs, due to the announced sale of the cor porate name of the company, its good will and it's cold heading, bolt and nut de- partment to the National Machinery Company, of Tiff fin, Ohio.
 With the knowledge that their many years of industrious and hon est labor are now fading, these men today sadly and bitterly expressed their feelings concerning this move that was made known last night by Rowley W. Phillips, company presi- dent.
 No purchase price was revealed concerning the transaction and to- day 1t was revealed that no bill or sale pertaining to the deal was on file at the town clerks office. As reported some time ego in the Demo- crat. this transaction has been pending for long time, and 1t is understood that 1t would have been completed sooner except for the delay that ensued while company of- flcials were obtaining a lend-lease contract from Russia in the amount of some $350000. It is understood that the officials held off the sale in the hopes of being able to fulfill and cash In on this contract before selling their equipment and general assets. The lend-lease contract IS expected to be completed some time this month.
 The real estate, remaining equip ment and other holdings on East Main street, will be retained by the present company, but MT. Phillips stated that he could not be definite as to future operations of the corpo- ration which, he added, will probably reorganize when the Ohio company takes over on January 1. He said that all contracts held by the com pany will probably be completed by February l.

Police Hunt DriverIn Sad Tragedy Here

Police this morning redoubled their efforts to locate the hit-run driver who fatally injured 11-year old Francis Lynch, Jr., 40 Vermont street on Cherry street last night.
 There was very little for the po- lice to go on, as the only witness to the accident, the childs mother, was too concerned for her son to ob- serve anything but that the car was colored green and probably a late model.
 The public was asked to report any such car bearing damaged right fender or bumper to the po- lice department.
 Mrs. Lynch told Motor Patrolman John Deeley that as she stepped off the sidewalk with her son at about 7:l5 last night, swiftly moving automobile struck the bay, dragged him about 30 feet, and sped on.
 Two pedestrians Lucian Mole. r Cherry street, and George Davis, 94 Cherry street, stopped car op- erated by Patrick Breheny, 95 Faber avenue, who drove young Lynch to Waterbury hospital, where he died six hours later in spite of blood transfusions and an oxygen tent. He had suffered a fractured skull, a broken arm, fractured rbis and in- ternal injuries.
 Waterbury's last fatal hit-run &C., cident, according to Officer James Little. occurred over four years ago Oil September l6, 1889, when 18- year-old Wilbert Solomitus, was struck on North Main street. The driver, Michael zoukauskas, was apprehended shortly afterwards by Officer James Wagner. and was later sentenced to 2 to 3 years ill (Cnpfipuod m, poua A.
