Food Greatest Weapon.
In emphasizing the necessity for
the work, Mr.. Lehman said:
Even after the Allies enter those
countries l believe that if you don't
bring in at least the necessities OF
life to those people who have been
starving for three or four years you
are going to have chaos and anarchy
in those countries, which is going to
react on our own situation, in this
country, and all over the world.
Il think that food, if it can be

Bulk Of Shipments
For War Purposes;
S1.56 q Share Earned
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The Gen.
eral Electric Co. shipped more than
81 900 100000 worth of its products
last year, mostly for war purposes.
it reported today in preliminary
statement OF 1912 operations.
Net income was estimated at
$45 .082 900, equal to s156 a common
share, against s57 1877 900, or s1s8
in 1941, a decrease OF 81 per cent,
despite the 81 per cent increase in
contract value of shipments to
81 DAT 900, 900.
The net income figure included an
estimated SIT 900 900 postwar refund
Of excess profits taxes which was
credited to income and carried as
a non-current asset in balance
sheets
President Gerard Swope. who re-
turned to duty from retirement
when Charles E. Wilson went with
the War Production Board, said the
company received orders for 81 ,003,-
100000 during 1912 and probably
would reach its peak production in
June or July of this year-"unless
additional responsibilities are given
| us"
Swope said at press conference
General Electric anticipated a con-
tinued increase in billings.
Greatest problems with which the
company is contending were man.

ish and American infantry, support
ed by tanks, successfully attacked
enemy rear guards and forced the
withdrawal of all enemy forces still
in the pass"
AS the Germans withdrew they
mined the roads heavily in an eff
fort to delay pursuit
The fact that the Allies were
turning fighter bombers loose on
Axis transport in both the Gabes
and Gafsa areas suggested Rommel
was retreating in both areas.
Meanwhile, Gen. Sir Bernard L.
Montgomery British 9th Army to
the south was reported to have
penetrated the outer defenses OF the
Mareth Line in the first phase of a
developing pincers movement de-
signed to squeeze the Africa Korps
back onto the coastal plain and
crush it between the two Allied
armies.
AS Rommels forces were being
driven back toward the coast, Allied
forces began reaping the advantages
Of geographical position which made
the German break-t through last
week possible
Fighting to stabilize a line along
the dorSal ridge from Robaa to be-
low Tebessa, 80 miles to the south
west, Allied troops were forcing
Rommel to spread his army thinly
along long defense position, guard
ing every pass where British and
American forces might break
through to the coast and menace
the Mareth Line from the rear.
Forced to Defend Each Pass.
Before Rommel's break through
from the east a week ago which
| carried him SO close to Thala, Allied
troops were forced to defend each
mountain pass over long communi-
cations lines across the plateau.
Rommel found their soft spot at
thinly-held Faid Pass and drove on
| to break through Kasserine Pass.
| Observers believed the heavy AL
| lied attacks on Rommel's transport
and rear positions were but fore
| taste of what was coming as his
| army, moving back out of the noun
tains onto the long, fat roads of the
! plateau to the east, offered an in
creasingly easy target for bombing
and strafing.

Farm Prices
Continued From First Page.)

now before the House Rules Com
mittee, would require the inclusion
of farm labor costs in determining
parity prices.
The administration would be al
lowed to proceed with its benefit
and incentive payment programs
The farm bloc has opposed subsidies,
particularly their use to protect
consumers against advances in food
prices. 1t contends consumers are
financially able to pay the prices
necessary to get needed output of
food.
The suggested compromise would
tend to give farmers parity prices
at the market place Any addi-
tional returns which they might
need to meet war crop goals would
be financed by subsidies.
Directly affected by the bill passed
yesterday would be corn and pos
sibly wheat. The Government has
set ceiling on corn at 80 per cent
Of parity. 1t also has put a ceiling
on -four at prices equivalent to about
81 per cent of parity for wheat.
Thus, under this legislation, cell
ings would have to be raised on
corn and -four.
Livestock Feed Affected.
Affected indirectly would be all
livestock feed which compete with
corn, which is selling at ceiling
prices. Lifting the corn ceiling to
parity would allow that grain to
advance further. 1t would tend to
carry oats, rye, barley and other
feedstuffS along with it.
Advances In feed prices would In
turn boost production costs of hogs,
cattle, milk and eggs. Inasmuch as
hog prices are relatively high-that
is, in relation to feed-feeders of
this type of meat animal probably
would absorb higher feed prices.
Dairy farmers, on the other hand,
probably would be unable to operate
under present ceiling on milk If feed
prices advanced. Higher prices to
consumers undoubtedly would fol-
low, unless Congress provided sub
sides to offset the increased costs.

Retail Trade Holds
~ 10 % Per Cent

Some Merchants Report
Decline in Stock-up
Buying Movement
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Nation-
wide retail sales this week continued

ported letup in the stockup buy
ing movement, Dun & Bradstreet.

Boom sales were reported in food
apparel and other textile items.

record high.
Retailers were handicapped in
building up stocks by the slow ar
rival Of new spring lines and the
general rush to buy inventories,
however, remained adequate to meet
unprecedented demand.
Warmer weather and depletion of
stocks were attributed as causes in
diminishment Of the buying move
ment Stocks of winter underwear
and coats had been drastically re-
duced.
Activity was brisk in piece goods,
suits and dresses, while accessories
piled up slightly. Shoe buying slack
ened from post-rationing peaks, but
still sold we'll
Furniture and other houseware
sales were aided by more promo
tional emphasis. Canned goods buy
ing was at fast rate before ration
ing went into effect last Saturday
night, but a decline was noted early
this week
Regional percentage increases over
the like 1912 week were: Southwest,
43 to so, Pacific Coast, 80 to 40: New
England, 10 to 10; East, IL to IA:
Midwest, "a to 30; South, 27 to 80,

The Californian declared in the

Chairman McNutt is too busy to
do the job, I'VE should bet a man
who can give it his full time. He
has several other big jobs, but none
