Allies Readjust Price
OF Wheat in Sicily
To Provide Bread
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,

SICILY, Aug. 10 by Wireless) -
The first economic problem the
AMGOT (Allied Military Govern
ment of Occupied Territories faces
in Sicily is bread for the population
of the teeming cities. The poor are
very hungry.
The Fascists had the farm sub
sidy. The farmer got $50 lire, at
the present exchange rate 3la cents
for kilo tabout pounds of wheat
which then was sold to the millers
for Its lire kilo. The difference
was made up from Rome.
The purpose was to show the
population for whom bread and
macaroni are the chief foods how
Mussolini's government decreased
the cost of living. 1t made bread rs
lire loaf of pounds. When the
AMGOT examined the system they
found it economically rotten. The
farmers protested they couldn't meet
the costs at the government price.
They refused to turn in the wheat,
The city folks couldn't buy bread at
any price and the black wheat mar
ket scared.
The same essential system has
been continued but with a strong

The Navy told last night of a
little submarine chaser on duty in
the Pacific which rammed, depth
charged, shelled and sank Japan
csc submersible which approached a
convoy moving into Pacific base.
The vessel which so manhandled
the undersea raider was the TO-
foot PC-487, under command of 1t.
Gordon Cornell, a naval reserve Of
f1cer of Port Richmond, Staten
Island, N. Y. 1t was one of num-
Der of escort craft guarding the
convoy.
The PC-4S7 rammed the sub
marine twice, tearing off its peri
scopes, antenna and net cutter the
first time and rolling the sub on its
side the second time. Eight times
the chaser fired with her deck gun
to increase the havoc wrought by
depth charges and six rounds were
observed to pierce the subs hull and
coming tower
The submarine chaser was Slight
ly damaged by the rammings, but
suffered no personnel casualties.
Emergency repairs enabled it to
reach port in good condition. News
Of the victory got there first, how
ever, and the little ship was greeted
with a din of bowling whistles and
the cheers of crews along the rails
of ships in the harbor.
The Navy said the action occurred
recently and continued with it's
story:
The convoy was proceeding
through a thick fog when at 8 am.
the submarines presence was de-
tecued. A few minutes later look
outs saw its two periscopes poking
out of the water about $50 yards
away.
First the subchaser went in with
depth charges and there forced the
undersea craft to the surface
Thereupon the PC-487 circled and
rammed the submarine, moved on
across it, circled and rammed again
Meanwhile, the gun crews had cut
loose with everything aboard the
ship which would shoot.

He May Head Ration,

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
= Vice President Wallace, dis
counting reports that he may be
called on by President Roosevelt
to assume general control over
agricultural production, pricing
and rationing, declared today he
intends to keep hands off price

LENS.
There is nothing to those re-
ports" Mr.. Wallace told an inter-
viewer. He referred to a statement
published recently by Spade, mag
azine circulated among Agricultural
Adjustment Administration county
committeeman. that the Vice Presi-
dent was the biggest bet to head a
possible new production price-ra-
tioning setup to supersede the Office
of Price Administration and the
War Food Administration.
Il have not given the OPA any
advice, and have not given Mar
vim Jones (the War Food admins
trator) any advice and I don't in
tend to-" Mr.. Wallace said.
Reports Farmers Not Complaining.
Just back from a trip to his home
State of Iowa, Mr.. Wallace said he
had reported" to Mr. Jones that
prospects for the corn crop look
good there and that farmers gen.
orally are not complaining about
the prices they are receiving for
their products.
Mr.. Wallace, who was Secretary
OF Agriculture before he was elected
Vice President in 1910. declined to
discuss next years political outlook
or to elaborate on his recent public
espousal of an economy of plentiful
production in the postwar period.
He disclosed that he plans to
speak in Chicago September IL at
rally which will be one of several
staged by supporters of the Ball
Burton Hill Hatch resolution for in
ternational postwar collaboration.

Labor Doing Good Job.
Labor is doing a good job despite
the difficulties presented by made
quate housing and having to travel
long distances to work" he said.
THE farmers are doing the same
sort of job despite the shortage of
machinery in many areas"
While Mr.. Wallace said farmers
generally appeared to be satisfied
with the price of corn and of hogs
he said cattlemen looked on corn
prices as too high.
They said they couldn't buy feed
ers from the West, and I am afraid
that means there may be shortage
of corn-fed beef in the late winter
and spring" he said.
