Of the tattered German units.
The Red srmy's summer often
sive was picking up momentum
fast, its pace and power beginning
10 rival the winter campaign
which smashed the Germans west
ward from the Volga at Stain
grad to the near approaches Of
the Dnieper.
RUSSIANS PUSH AHEAD
Needing Premier Stains order
TO give the battered enemy no
rest, the Russians famed swiftly
out from Orel and Belgorod in
drives threatening to undermine
the whole German defense posi-
ton in the east.
The fall of Belgorod, 40 miles
north of Kharkov, laid open the
German flank. Leaping TO the
opportunity, Russian striking
forces passed by Kharkov and
swung around in what shaped up
as a determined and confident
effort TO cut the railroad lines
radiating from the major COM
municationS hub.
Russian motorized units were
streaming westward from Orel to
reinforce the armies which
launched the synchronized drives
against Bryansk from the north,
east and southeast.
80 MILES FROM BRYANSK
The concentric drives against
Orel had carried the Russian col
umns northwest of that city down
into the German flank TO within
less than 30 miles of Bryansk.
which is Is miles northwest of
Orel.
The SovietS also were reported
shifting troops from the Smolensk
front west of Moscow to Join in
the assault on Bryansk. Thus the
Russian policy apparently was to
roll up the German lines in the
south on a front reaching from
the sea of Azov northward beyond
the Bryansk area.
Orel and Belgorod fell a month
TO the day after Marshal Gunther
Won Kluge launched his abortive
offensive against the Red army's
Kursk salient.
Troops of the "Steppe" and
'Voronezh" fronts smashed the
offensive and routed 80 German
divisions of 100000 men. then
laShed back.

More StreamIiners Asked
On MI. Rainier CarIine

Additional streamlined streetcars
on the Mount Rainier line to re-
place many "antiquated" ones now
being used on Rhode Island avenue
NE. were asked by the Rhode
Island Avenue Citizens Association
last night.
It was charged that the old cars
have been brought over to the Mount
Rainier line as castoffs from other
routes over the city. The associa-
ton asked for more cars on the
line some time ago.
The 35th anniversary of the asso-
citation will be celebrated on May
II in the Sunday school room of the
Sherwood Presbyterian Church,
Twenty second and Jackson streets
NE. The program will include
speakers and entertainment.
Endorsement of the newly formed

uniform issued to German troops,
with only silver band across his
cap to denote his high rank.
Rommel spent all day and half
the night working with his staff.
He took the best room in the
house. but his only other luxuries
were flowers every day and fruit. He
didn't drink or smoke and ate the
soldiers rations.
His only relaxation was a long
walk each morning and evening
through the olive groves, during
which, FACES said, ''he talked of
flowers, olive trees and farming gen.
orally, but never the war"
When the Nazis left without say
ing thanks or good-by, FACES said
his best silver and linen disappeared,
too.
FACES added, however, that he
wants to be fair minded and not
imply that Rommel himself was the
thief.

House Members Warn
Fight Over FSA May
ImperiI Food Program
Agency Supporters Win
First Step in Debate;
Bill Safeguards Denied

Opposition to many phases OF
the controversial Agriculture De-
oartment supply bill mounted to-
day as some members of Congress-
warned that the debate over
abandonment of Farm Security
Administration, crop insurance
and parity payments might con-
tinue for days and result in elm
iration of items essential to the
food production program.
Food Administrator Chester c.
Davis, meanwhile, was revealed as
being in favor of the continuation
of FSA. The disclosure came at a
press conference at which formation
of the Emergency Committee for
Food Production was announced.
The group met yesterday with Mr..
Davis and it was then the food ad-
ministrator expressed the hope FSA
would carry on, Courteney Dinwid-
die, executive secretary of the COM
mittee, informed reporters.
In statement today. the COM
mittee called on "all -blooded
patriotic American citizens and
members of Congress to stop this
undemocratic effort to prevent the
smaller farmers of this country
from contributing to winning the
war as we'll as maintaining their
own families
Noted Committe Members.
The committee includes CIO
President Philip Murray. AFL
President William Green, Msgr. L.
G. Ligutti, executive secretary of
the National Catholic Rural Life
Conference, and Elizabeth Herring
rural secretary of the national
YWCA.
At the outset of heated debate
in the House yesterday, supporters
of F'SA won a major point when
they persuaded the Rules Committee
to decree procedure under which
many provisions in the measure may
be removed by a single objection.
The Rules Committee, at the re-
quest of the Agriculture Committee,
refused to safeguard the bill from
parliamentary points of order, which
means that any member could raise
a point of order against any legisla-
tive provision not directly dealing
with appropriations and thereby re-
move it.
Charges Powers Usurped.
Chairman Fulmer of the Agricul-
ture Committee, charged the appro-
priations group with "usurping the

Legislation to create a powerful

The unions support, expressed by

director, in testimony before the

heard together with a warning from
the National Association of Manu-

lation in the $707, ,040, ,844 bill
Representative Tarver, Democrat,
of Georgia agreed that some phases
of FSA were Objectionable, but he
said he did not believe the agency
should be abolished. He cautioned
the House that if everything in the
bill subject to point of order was
objected to, millions of dollars Gus
tomarily provided for non-contro-
versial programs not specifically au-
thorized by previous legislation
would have to be stricken from the
bill.
From Representative Dirksen, Re-
publican, of Illinois came the COM
ment that the House would have
"a Roman holiday" with the bill
and send it to the Senate with
just about the enacting clause" re-
manning.
CIO Joins Fight.
The CIO joined the fight for
saving FSA with a statement by its
secretary treasurer, James B. Carey,
advising the "spokesmen for big
agriculture, who form the hunger
bloc, not the farm bloc" of being
mad with the power that they have
over the House Appropriations Sub
committee on Agriculture. Aboli-
ton OF FSA would hamper food pro-
duction and menace workers diet,
he charged.
Representative Sparkman, Demo-
crat, of Alabama told the House the
principal foes of FSA included the
American Farm Bureau Federation
and its president, Edward r. O'Neal.
The latter. Mr.. Sparkman declared,
