Justice Bolitha J. Laws, upon rec
ommendation of representative of
the Judge Advocate Generals Office,
this afternoon ordered Pvt. Prescott
bennett, important Government
witness in the trial of George Syl-
vester Viereck. to testify, following
a surprise move earlier in which the
witness refused to appear on the
grounds that it would violate his
oath as soldier
Col. Archibald King, hurriedly
called by the Government during
the noon recess, told the court that
under the Articles of War he saw
no reason why bennett could not
testify. The witness was then
called to the stand.
bennett, who identified himself as
one of the founders of the Make
Europe Pay War Debts Committee,
a prewar isolationist group. told the
court that the late Senator Lun-
deem of Minnesota first introduced
him to Viereck The defendant is
charged with violations of the For

the witness said, were Senator Lun-
deem, the late Gen. Smedley D. But
Ter and the late Lynn E. Gale.

scribed Viereck as being in SYM
pathy with the committee but not

cial angels for the committee. He
added:
But they didn't always hutter.'

Government May Buy
All Late 1943 Potatoes
To Conserve Supply
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Administration oficials were re-
ported-today to be considering g pro-
posal for Government purchase and
distribution Of the entire 1943 crop
of late potatoes, in order to fore.
stall prospective four month fam
inc" in this staple next spring.
An authoritative but unquotable
source said price and food officials
we're studying a plan for Commod-
ity Credit Corp. purchase of pota-
toes from growers at prices high
enough to sustain production. to be
followed by controlled sales through
out the year to wholesalers and
other distributors.
The present rates of consumption
the 1943 crop can last only eight
months. this source estimated, leav-
ing four month potato gap early
next year, compared with the two
month shortage which affected
many areas this spring.
Onions. which also disappeared
for a time this year, could be
brought under similar Govern
ment buying selling program,
and so could much of the 1914 pack
of canned vegetables.
The Government potato sales to
distributors and wholesalers would
be at prices in keeping with present
ceilings. with the Government alb
sorbing the difference between those
ceilings and the price paid to
growers.
About three-fourths of the potato
crop grown in Northern States re-
mains to be harvested. Early po-
tatoes, produced in the South. have
been on the market for some weeks.
The latter could not now be bought
under controlled distrluution
scheme, nor could the crop produced
in central growing areas of the
country.

VIA Urges Farmers
To Sell Corn, Assuring
Protection on Prices
By the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
The War Food Administration
has appealed to Midwest corn
farmers to sell any excess guam
titles of the grain they have fol-
use Of industrial professors. AT
the same time they assured such
farmers they will be protected ii
there should be a subsequent rise
In price.
Little corn has been moving to
market because those owning it
have been unwilling to sell at pres
ent Government ceiling prices
which are based on rate of SLOT a
bushel at Chicago. There have
been reports that the ceiling price
may be increased.
AS a consequence, many process
Ing plants making war-essential
products have been unable to obtain
corn. Last week the VIA requisi-
toned stocks held by commercial
elevators In a number of Midwest
cities. This grain was taken by
the Government at the ceiling price
Quantities obtained under the requi-
sittontng action were said, however,
to be sufficient to supply industrial
users only about two or three weeks.
WA Denies Increase Plans.
The VIA asked farmers with corn
IN excess of 1943 livestock feeding
requirements to sell the extra grain
to the Governments Commodity
Credit Corp. between now and Au-
gust 10 at the ceiling price.
The agency estimated there are
about 800,OO0,0OO bushels of corn
equivalent to one-fourth of the 1912
crop-on farms.
VIA said that while no increase
IN the ceiling was contemplated,
farmers who sold corn during the
July 1-August 10 period would get,
through an additional payment, the
benefit of any increase in the CELL
ing price which might be allowed be-
tween now and october 81.
Loan Rate Increased.
WA also announced it has in
creased its loan rate on 1943-grown
wheat from Sl.22 to $l23 a bushel
at the farm.
The increase, effective last night,
was made to bring the rate in line
with the June IS parity price of
wheat. When the loan rate was an
nounced several weeks ago it was
based on an estimate of parity. Of
fetal determination of the parity
price made upward adjustment in
the loan rate necessary.
Farmers who are cooperating with
the l943 food program are eligible
for loans.
VIA said the Commodity Credit
Corp. will buy wheat from farmers
at the 1943 loan rate. where produc-
ers are unable to ship to their nor
NAL markets, where local storage is
not available and where the CCC
owns bins in which the purchased
wheat may be stored. Purchases
will be limited to wheat produced by
farmers cooperating in the food
program.

the landing of troops at this point
as reported by Secretary of War
Stimson today, marks the beginning
Of big thrust against the japanese
hold in the Solomons.
The harbor will provide an ex-
cellent anchorage for naval surface
vessels which may be needed to
augment the American forces which
towed in there yesterday and to sup
ply the men operating on the beach.
There is anchorage in the harbor
for vessels from 81 to u feet in
depth. According to official Naval
photographic Office publications, it
affords the only shelter for anchor
age of any sort along the whole
southern coast of New Georgia Is
land on which also Munda, the big
Japanese air base. Is located.
The entrance to the harbor is
fanked by vertical cliffs on either
side The entrance channel is COM
paratively narrow, ranging from half
a mile to 300 yards, fringing the
reefs.
Three Streams Enter HarbOr.
The land on either side of the
harbor is fat. but extends upward
for about 100 feet, something like the
Palisades of the Hudson. This fiat
terrain continues to the foot of the
Karu Mahimba range, of which a
very prominent hornlike summit Is
visible from the harbor.
There are three Steams entering
into the harbor. the nearest to the
sea on the western side being the
Mango, with another near it known
as the Tita. while the third, the Viru,
is in the northeastern corner of the
herbor.
Although only 80 yards at the
mouths they are navigable by boats.
Chomborua Village lies about one
and a half miles up the Tita River
and the larger village of Viru about
the same distance up the stream of
that name.
Cocoanut palms arch over the
streams from both banks and there
is said to be a good deal of cultiva-
ton around the villages

The House this afternoon over
whelmingly rejected an amendment
in the Labor-Federal Security ap-
preparation bill to continue for an
other year the rule that all ap-
pointees in the War Manpower
Commission must be confirmed by
the Senate If they get $500 or more
a year
On a standing vote the Senate
confirmation proposal was beaten,
1872 to %. 1t was taken as an indi-
cation the House Is not likely to
accept a similar amendment in the
war agencies bill. to require con-
firmation OF hundreds of employees
in the II emergency war bureaus,
approved by the Senate yesterday.
This was the first test of House
sentiment on, the issue since. Senator
McKellar, Democrat, OF. Tennessee
obtained Senate passage Of gen.
eral bill several weeks ago to apply
the confirmation rule to virtually all
persons through competitive civil
service examination. 80. ..-..-
Move Began Last Year
The separate McKellar bill was
referred to the House Civil Service
Committee where 1t still awaits
action.
Congress began last year reQuir-
ing confirmation of War Manpower
appointments by provision in the
annual appropriation for the COM
mission. but it applied only to the
fiscal year ended yesterday. The
House vote today was against renew
ing the requirement for another
year.
Before taking this action the
House accepted the clause in the
Labor-Federal security bill designed
to stabilize collective bargaining
agreements during the coming year,
wherever union has had such an
agreement for three months without
complaint being filed In such
cases the National Labor Relations
Board could not use any Of its funds
to order new election.
Protects AFL Contract.
The amendment is intended to
prevent the board from interfering
with the AFI agreement in Kaiser
West Coast shipyards, but is written
in general terms.
The only remaining dispute to be
voted on in this bill is over the Ma
tional Youth Administration. The
House originally gave the agency
100000 to liquidate it's affairs by
January. The Senate raised it to
s46,0O0,0OO to keep the agency alive
The conferees asked the House late
today to take the Senate proposal,
