DR.. r. c. Dodson Of Rising Sun

DR.. Dodson said he had seen
Blankenship and another man on

his Office.
Sheriff Ralph Robinson said the

Desertions Cripple
French Fleet, Says
Navy Department
Secretary Knox Warns
Understoffine May
lmmobiIize Wurships
By The Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
said yesterday that if the numerous
desertions" of French sailors from
their warships in American harbors
continue, "the vessels will be left
so understaffed that they will be
virtually immobilized."
There have been frequent reports
of sailors quitting these ships, under
command of Gen. Henri Giraud, to
join the Fighting French forces led
by Gen. Charles De Gaulle.
Mr. Knox did not say what may be
done to stop the desertions but a
high United States official declared
yesterday, speaking anonymously,
that this country does not intend to
permit them to Illustrate the future
usefulness of the ships.
Secretary Knoxs statement:
The French naval vessels now
being repaired in American naval
shipyards were brought to this
country under an agreement that
they would form part of the naval
forces of the United Nations in
fighting the Axis powers.
THE erican Government,
through the Navy Department, is
undertaking the repair and recon-
ditioning Of these ships. 1t is doing
so for the express purpose of making
them servieeable against our Axis
enemies.
These vessels cannot be put back
into active service without a full
complement of trained crews. AS a
result of various circumstances,
there have been numerous deser-
tions. If the desertions continue,
the vessels will be left so under
stated that they will be virtually
lmmobilized, inasmuch as there is
not a reservoir of French naval per-
sonnet readily available to replace
those who have jumped ship.
The enemy would profit directly
from the immobilization of these
vessels regardless of the cause. 1t
follows, therefore, that the greatest
service which their crews can render
to France and to the United Ma
tlons is to stay with their ships.

But several major political prob
lens appeared nearing solution un-
der Allied pressure and French pub
lie opinion to force merger of
the Fighting French with the North
and West African French.
Informed sources described these
developments boiling in the political
pot:
Ousting of Gen. Jean Marie Ber-
geret, Gen. Auguste Nogues and
Gen. Rene Megidal on charges of
being Vlchyites. Gen. Bergeret and
Gen. Nogues are members of Gen.
Glraud's war council, and Megidal
Is commander of French air forces.
ENJOYS Are Insistent.
1t was understood that both the
British and American ENJOYS have
been irsistent with Gen. Giraud
that he rid his administration of
Vichy supporters. A number of
minor figures have been removed,
but the time is believed near for the
ak to be applied to Gen. Nogues,
Gen. Bergeret and Gen. Migidal.
These three have been highly OBJ
Jectlonable to the Fighting French.
Second: Sending of missions to
Martinique and Alexandria to make
final appeals to Admiral Georges
Robert at Martinique and Admiral
Rene Emile Godfrey, the COM
mander at Alexandria, to join Gen.
Giraud's forces. Their stands in
remaining aloof from other French
who are fighting the Axis has met
with little sympathy in North Africa
Third: A rapid growth of opinion
among the North African French
public and Fighting French soldiers
and sailors that the French must
unite, even to the extent that if
Gen. Giraud and Gen. Charles de
Gaulle are unable to reach an
agreement they must be replaced
by someone else to bring all French
forces under one leadership.
Deputies Urge Action.
Meanwhile. ~ Communist depu-
ties from France who were released
from jail declared in a letter to
Gen. Giraud that energetic meas
ures should be taken against the
fifth column still pursuing its un-
derground work of sabotage and
decentralization. There is not much
reaction against the minority of
Hltlerites and Vichy agents who
continue their propaganda in favor
OF the Axis while the police are
occupied in spying on and hunting
and arresting Communists or De
Gaullists ="
The letter gave no names nor Of
fered any proof of such arrests since

0PA Pamphlet Hits
UnstabiIized Prices
OF Farm Products
Program Threatened
With Producers Facing
Living Cost Rise
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
In the midst of controversy
over the new sub-parity price CELL
ings on corn, an official Once OF
Price Administration pamphlet came
to light last night saying failure
to stabilize farm prices may well
break down the entire stabilization
program.
The pamphlet was prepared by
OPA's research division for guidance
of officials about a month ago. A
copy was made available today to
the Associated Press.
While the pamphlet had no direct
relation to the corn controversy, it
reflected, apparently, OPA's general
attitude toward that type of situa-
ton.
Prices Are Attacked.
The new corn prices, which tech
nlcauy put on more permanent
basis temporary price ceilings which
have been in effect on corn for the
last 60 days, have been attacked
bitterly since their issuance Friday
by farm leaders because the prices
on a market basis amount to about
20 per cent of parity.
OPA contended this is permissible
because Government benefit pay
ments to corn farmers exceeded the
difference between the price ceiling
and parity, but farm leaders OBJ
jected to this method of compu-
tation
A bill already has passed the
Senate and is awaiting House action
to forbid computation of maximum
prices by deducting benefit pay
ments.
The pamphlet said, Further in
creases in farm prices mean further
increases in the cost of living at a
time when the pressure for wage
increases is already explosive.
Failure to stabilize farm prices may
well break down the entire stabiliza-
ton program. If this happens,
there is the very real danger that
the farmers experience during the
last war will be duplicated-that
prices paid by farmers (for clothing.
machinery and so on will rise to
such an extent that present gain Gin
farm incomes) will be reduced or
wiped out"
Disputes Farm Leaders.
The pamphlet also attacked the
frequent claim of farm leaders that
higher farm prices are necessary
because of the higher cost Of farm
labor and other production costs
The pamphlet said that while wage
rates on farms rose from 1899 to
l942 by So per cent, it said, wage
costs per unit of production in
creased only % per cent; that all
farm production costs together, in
Guiding wages. increased on the
average of Is per cent per unit Of
production while prices on farm
products increased II per cent.
Discussing whether price increases
might increase farm production, the
pamphlet declared that the real
factors in farm production are
weather, manpower and other fac
tors. and concluded:
Now that price-cost relationships
IN agriculture are equal to the best
on record further price increases
cannot bring about a further in
crease In total production"

Archbishop Spe||man
Says Mass in Africa
AT Chaplain S Grave
Simple Service Held
Amid White Crosses
Of American Dead
BY RUTH COWAN,

ASSOClateO fTe5S war Correspondent.
FEDALA. French Morocco, Marci,
13-Archbishop Francis J. Spell
man of New York said mass today
at a plain, hastily built wooden
altar in a small French cemetery
over the grave of the first American
chaplain killed in the war.
The Rev. Clement Falter of Akron
Ohio, Catholic chaplain in an in
fantry unit which landed last No
vember with the first United States
assault troops, was killed during the
French. resistance. He was buried
In nearby cemetery along with a
number of other Americans who
lost their lives while going ashore.
He was teaching in Indiana when
he volunteered for service.
1t was simple service held amid
the white crosses marking the
graves of the American dead. On
these crosses, placed at the heads
OF mounds too fresh to be grass
covered, are plates giving names and
serial numbers of the fallen soldiers
Speaks Following Mass.
AT the conclusion of the mass the
archbishop walked slowly to the
edge OF the wooden platform. He
said slowly and simply:
ut was not my intention to saw
anything, but still feel that on this
occasion I should tell you of the
consolation I have experienced to
be able to offer the holy sacrifice of
the mass for the eternal repose of
all our fellow Americans who have
given their lives for our country
and for the principles our country
stands for.
When I left the United States
a month ago it was one of nv most
cherished hopes to visit the graves
OF American soldiers and sailors
and to offer the sacrifice of the
mass"
He added that here this morning
'"in cathedral under the sky with
the birds singing accompaniment"
he was realizing that hope.
That, he said, gave him consola-
ton. as did seeing present so many
comrades OF the men buried there
Il am sure you share with me and
I wish you the feelings of gratitude
to almighty God that we are citi-
zens of our land and that our land
stands for the principles it does"
VIII Visit Other Cemeteries.
The archbishop. his voice at times
tense with emotion, told the uni
formed men standing solemnly be-
fore him that those back home had
taken pride in their achievements,
Afterward the archbishop shook
hands with those present and told
them If they wished him to write
to any one back home when he re-
turns to give him the addresses. He
spent Is minutes taking down names.
But it may be some time before
he gets home. He is visiting the
cemeteries of the American dead in
North Africa and holding confer
ences with Catholic chaplains. He
IS the director of the Catholic chap
lains in United States military
service.
Later he plans to visit the Allied
headquarters and then go to Tunisia
to see the troops and chaplains on
the battlefront. After leaving Africa
he is going to Iraq, India and China.
