POLITICAL PARADE
BY GEORGE ROTHWELL BROWN

at $4,000, 100000 of which by
far the larger part would be
contributed by the latter. many
members of the House banking
and currency committee feel
that the admission of a limited
congressional group to the pre-
liminary conferences, as nom
voting observers, should no
longer be deferred.
WHAT is feared, and the Sc
W crecy enveloping the whole
affair is conductive TO this fear,
is that the executive branch of
the government is preparing to
ignore the legislative branch,
precisely as it was ignored when
the Hot Springs international
food conference was called.
1t is probable that nothing
would now be known of the plan
tentatively ounce last
spring by Secretary Morgen-
THAI, but for premature pub

followed by the publication in

 The reports figures on food ship nents revealed that substantial per- centages of the United States food supply, ranging from five per cent of the meat supply to 23.1 per cent of the cheese supply in l942, were sent abroad.
 Other food exports and their re- lation to the United States supply included:
 Dry skim milk, 2S per cent; fats and oils, 13.2 per cent; eggs, 10 per cent; condensed and evaporated milk, 7.2 per cent; and frozen and canned fish, 7.1 per cent.
 The largest meat exports were pork, of which 9.8 per cent of the nations supply went overseas. Only 0.1 per cent of the beef supply was shipped under lend-lease.
 A much larger share of this coun- try's food stocks, however, will go abroad this year, the report added.
 Tn addition to the pressing re- quirements for the Soviet Army and the Soviet people" the report said, i've must be prepared to meet the new demands that will come when the United Nations forces liberate areas now held by the Axis"
 The report said shortages in the United States during the past year were only in small part due to lend- lease export of foodStuffs.
 Noting that flood is a weapon of war; the report said that food def. ciencieS of North Africa are small compared with what will be needed in other areas when they are hber- ated.
 American troops, the report con- ti1ued, cannot take the offensive successfully in the midst of famine and pestilence, riots and revolu- tion."
 "The British" it added, "are col- laborating in providing supplies for relief purposes and have already as- sisted in North Africa by shipping food for the use of the civilian pop ulation."
 The report said a substantial part of lend-lease aid to the Allies is be- ing repaid through reciprocal lend- lease agreements with Great Bri- tain, the Soviet Union. China, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Jugo- slavia, Czechoslovakia Greece and Belgium. Most of such reciprocal aid. 1t added. is coming from the United Kingdom, Australia and New zea- land.
 Major items of reciprocal aid in- cluding $2400 GOO weekly in wages for civilian workers in Britain working for the U. s. forces there, 1,450 900 square yards of portable airfields. 15000 bombs, and large supplies of other munitions clothing and other materials.

CORRELL WATCHES
 SEYMOUR FIGHT
Continued from Page D

We were lucky for a few miles, then the lead of the column sud- denly came under heavy fire. The enemy had sprung an ambush and we seemed to have dived into 8 cauldron of flame.
 There were mortar shells ex- ploding all around and we heard the whip-like crack of anti-tank guns. Several trucks carrying our sappers were hit. Enemy artillery, which previously had found the range on this exact spot, began rapid fire shells crashed all around. We could hear calls for stretcher- bearers up ahead.
 British artillery went into action and for a while we couldn't tell the differences between our shells and the enemy's. Very lights vied with flares and the bright, full moon, trying to turn night into day.
 The infantry piled out of trucks and plodded in single file to both sides of the roads with rifles and Bren guns at the ready. Two con- panies of machine gunners from London rushed up in light lorries and soon there was crazy pattern of tracers.
 Bullets sputtered like bacon fry ing in too-hot fat.
 There couldn't have been many of the enemy but they were well dug in and we settled down for @ night of 1t. Artillery dueled for hours.
 About 5:30 a. rn., was awakened by tremendous crash right behind me. It was from British artillery moved up during the night. Several batteries were within 100 yards of me and they were firing at high speed--cMe, two three,-one, two, three.
 Enemy shells began looking for our guns. They crashed ahead and then slightly behind and to the left. You don't wait for the center ones to land. We scrambled up and dug in behind crumbling arab huts.
 The speeded-up fire lasted only about IS minutes, but 1t was the longest quarter -hour I ever exper- fenced. At dawn, infantrymen, who had been on their feet for 48 hours without a break and had marched 18 miles last night, eagerly obeyed an order to move on.
 The enemy was defending these hills in considerable depth and the delicate operation of busting them fell to @ few companies of infantry. The plan succeeded with substantial losses, but it enabled the British to continue their advance to Tripoli. One foot soldier said the attack was tougher than Alamein."
 The Germans left hundreds of Italians stranded, in some instances laying mine fields between them- selves and the Italian rear guards.
 In six hours fighting, the infan- try systematically weeded out nests of machine guns and mortars and their tanks came up behind them. The 90th light division withdrew pell mell and our troops never were close enough for their favorite style of aghting-bayonet.
