The administration today was

considering $2,000,OOO,0 ,0OO-a-
year program to subsidize the
cost of living, following an
nouncement that consumer
prices of meats, coffee and but
ter will be rolled back 10 per cent
on June by application of sup
port payments.
An admission that prices cannot
be held in line by use of industry
ceilings alone, the huge program
under study includes plans for sub
sidizing only foods. It was said
canned fruits and vegetables and a
long list of other foods would be
added to the items to be reduced in
price next month.
High administration officials, in
cluding President Roosevelt, are said
to have concluded that subsidy pay

Second Front Hopes
Of Russians Raised

MOSCOW, May 8 (P).-The fall of
Bizerte and Tunis was hailed en-
Enthusiastically in Moscow and raised
fresh hopes for the early opening of
a second front in Europe.
The radio gave the first news Of
the United Nations victory in Africa
and newspapers followed with stories
OF the crushing defeat for the Axis.
Lines before news stands were some
times more than a block long and
Red Army men were prominent in
the lines.
The Moscow radio and Tass News
Agency distributed the news to
every one so that by nightfall all
the millions in Russia will know the
story.
In general conversation the fate
OF the Axis army in Tunisia was
compared with tlat of the Hitler
divisions trapped and crushed by the
Russians before Stalingrad.
l. Yermashev, writing in the gov
ernment newspaper Izvestia, ex-
pressed the opinion Hitler could
not send strong forces to Africa
the conditions OF the Soviet German
front did not permit him to do it, -
and said the clearing of Tunisia un-
doubtedly would open the way for
the invasion Of the European CONT
nent by the Allies.

newspaper, prominently displayed q

First official word that subsidies
would be employed on large scale
for holding the line against infla-
ton came last night from Price
Administrator Brown, who an
nounced the June l rollback of 10
per cent for retail prices of beef,
veal, pork, lamb, mutton, coffee and
butter. This program, it was said,
will cost nearly $500, 100000 1t will
be financed by the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. Flat payments of a
cent or more a pound will be made
to meat packers, butter manufac-
turers and coffee importers on con-
dition that they cut prices accord

Raids on Attu, Using
New AIeutians Base
Jap Positions on Kisku
Also Bombed From
Amchitku AirfieId
BY the Associated Press.

American planes operating
from new advanced positions in
the Aleutian Islands have
stepped up their attacks on
Japanese held Attu Island, raid
ing it seven times Thursday, the
Navy disclosed today.
The same day Army fighters at
tackled the Japanese base on Kiska
Island, which 50 far has been the
most heavily bombed of the two
bases, five times.
Apparently the American force op-
Grated from the base on Amchitka
Island, which is only 63 nautical
miles from Kiska and 233 from Attu.
Existence of the Amchitka base was
revealed by the Navy yesterday.
Could Drive Japs Out.
Meanwhile, authorities in Wash
ington believe that American forces
now are in position to drive the Jap
anese out of the Western Aleutians
whenever the high command decides
the time has come to strike.
And while they wait, their pres
ence on Amchitka Island breathes
the constant threat of new air raids
down Tokio's neck.
The Aleutian tight will be bloody,
for the Japanese have worked with
feverish haste to intrench them
selves strongly on Kiska and Attu
Islands ever since their invasion
last June. But there is no doubt
in official quarters here that the
job can and will be done when the
time-and it might be this month
or next-is right.
Blow May Fall Soon.
The Navy announcement Of the
establishment Of the base at Am
chitka led to speculation that the
blow might fall soon. In any case,
the new base assures Japanese in

S199,720 Excess Profits
BY the Associated Press.


The Maritime Commission an
