FARM PRICES:
Parity Battle Brisk

Even as the administration threw
down its battle gage against further
advances in farm prices, the senate
agriculture committee laid the
ground for such price increases by
voting to report. a measure spon-
sored by Senator Bankhead Of Ala
bama designed to revise the parity
formula upward.
The administrators position was
set forth in the speech of Economic
Sterilization Director james F..
Byrnes. Declaring that change in
the farm parity formula would not
be in the farmers interest,"" Mr..
Byrnes indicated that the admins
tration would fight to preserve its
present policies on farm and food
prices and production. Recognizing
that farmers need returns greater
than parity to meet extra expenses
involved in stepping up production
of certain crops, the OES chief in
Dictated that the government would
make up that extra expense.

DEFERRED DRAFTEES:
Face Early Summons

As plans moved forward swiftly
for enlarging the size Of Uncle
Sans fighting forces, selective serv-
ice made public estimates that
1000, 1000 single men of draft age
are now deferred on occupational
grounds. This number would be suf-
ficient to fill more than one-fourth
of the requirements of the armed
services for the remainder of the
year if they are physically fit.
That many of these men would
soon land in the army or navy
was indicated by instructions to To-
cal boards to review deferments
within six months after granting
them and eliminate unnecessary
ones so that their industrial places
could be taken by women or other
men.
OF the draft age deferees, $4,000
are in class IA which covers &C.
cupants Of essential civilian jobs;
$4,000 are in class 2-B covering
those holding essential industrial
jobs; and 10000 are in class &c,
necessary men in agricultural pur-
suits.

By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Gov. John

at a press conference he would be
a Republican candidate for Pres
ident in the Ohio primaries in
May.
The Governor declined TO make a
statement regarding any other 1914
campaign plans. but remarked, Il
will definitely enter the Ohio pri-
maries as Republican presidential
candidate. I think they're the sec
ond week in May-about May a."
Gov. Bricker said present day
postwar planning is not feasible
because we can't anticipate post
war conditions He added:
Our Government must, in CO.
operation with other governments,
meet postwar problems as they
arise, or anticipate them before they
come up and eliminate them. I
think it would be dangerous to say
what we are going to do when the
war is over, because we are fighting
a world war in cooperation with
other nations. and one of the quick
est ways to destroy that co-opera-
tion would be for the United States
to take an adamant stand on their
postwar position now. We must
await developments"

Gov. Bricker said he did not want
to see America give up her
sovereignty as long as I am an
American citizen. but on the other
hand. we shouldn't insist on being
the big power"
Il think there has been a very
real desire on the part of Russia
and England for real cooperation a."

at face value. We must, they are

The New Deal is through. There

that the American people are
through with it. I don't think the
