ATTU:
Kiska Ne1t?

Facing the west, Japanese soldiers
bowed in hallowed respect of their
emperor, then with wild cry
launched final, suicidal counterat-
tack against American troops on
Attu island.
Moved down by American fire, the
attack collapsed, and the last organ
lied enemy resistance on this west
ernmost Of the Aleutian islands
came to an end, some 20 days after
the first American troops stole
ashore under the protective cover Of
U. S. naval units.
Conquest of Attu turned eyes to
Kiska, main Jap base in the Aleu-
tians, isolated by the U. S. victory.
Operating from Amchitka, American
airmen continued to hammer the
Japanese airplane, harbor and camp
installations at the base. Approx
mately 10000 enemy troops are sup
posed to be stationed on Kiska.

andria, Egypt, since June of 1910,

ton battleship Lorraine, with eight

+ Washington correspondents note
a change in farm bloc temperature
lately. A counterplay of forces
makes the bloc's attack on Admin
istration farm price policies as
confused and fluid as any situa-
ton in Washington.
The fGrp bloc came into this
Congress breathing fire and
threatening no-quarter assault
on the Administration farm pro-
gram. One bill the bloc tagged
/ must" was the measure intro
duced by Representative Pace
Cd. Ga.) including farm labor costs
as basis for parity price esti-
mates.
This bill was originally slated
for swift enactment by the farm
steam roller. Now, after two
months in session, the Pace bill
still lies in committee, and there
is significant Congressional
wariness in setting a date for
bringing it out
1t suggests to Capitol Hill vet
Grams that something is in the
air" In other words, that under
cover overtures for a compromise
are under consideration.
Farm Bloc's Peeves
The farm bloc had some major
bones to pick with the Admins
tration. Biggest source of the
farmers resentment was their
open charge that organized labor
mad been handed wage increases
on a platter, while an attempt was
made to make the farmer the an
ti-inflation program goat
Farm spokesman pointed out
that industrial wages had climbed
steadily for ten years under the
New Deal, skyrocketing since
1910. All this time the Administra-
ton preached parity prices to the
farmers, with the inference that
when industrial wage gains had
been achieved, the consumers
could pay parity prices for farm
produce.
New employment and wage lev
els are highest in history. And
now, if ever, the farm group ar
CUES, parity prices are possible
Instead of granting parity prices
! under existing laws, the Admin
istration has controlled prices of
some major crops wheat, for one)
, at less than parity.
That looked like the short end
OF the horn to the farmer state
Congressman. They were ready to
jack up farm prices by mandatory
rather than optional price control
laws.
Farmers Hold Power
Make no mistake, the farm bloc
has the votes. The cause of recent
slackening in their militant fervor
lies elsewhere.
This is the consensus of sound
critical opinion: y Translate
Congressman are in the main con-
sentative, (2l they are sincerely
concerned about initiation, CD most
of them dislike John L. Lewis.
That's the background reason
ing behind the recent marketing
time as well-posted correspond
ents analyze it.
Negotiations Possible
The present something in the
air. may be negotiations that will

justments without need for bust
ing Congress wide open with a
bitter factional fight.
