one person full authority to deal
with the meat situation.
NEW TECHNIQUES
Modern cattle ruStlerS have adopt
ed up-to-date techniques, thus
multiplying the old anti-rustling law
which made theft of living cattle a
felony. Since modern rustlerS kill
and quarter cattle on the spot in
stead of driving them away. Has
tain said. and this makes the old
law ineffective.
BY vote of 48 to 49, the Assem-
bly, adopted Hastain,s bill asking
the federal government to place in
one person full authority to deal
with the meat situation.
RESOLUTION PROPOSES
The resolution proposed that
Chester C. Davis, food administra-
tor, name the director and his
staff, and that an advisory COM
mittee be named to represent the
meat industry.
1t also endorsed the American
Meat Institutes program opposing
ceilings on pork and also on cattle
on the roof. The institute, ac-
cording to the resolution, evolved
that program to achieve a proper
distribution of meat to the armed
forces, civilian population and lend
lease without encouraging infla-
ton.
Basis of the program is integral
ed, centralized control with au-
thority to correlate slaughtering
and government buying with civil
liam needs in an effort to keep
supply consistent with demand.

Ruling Not Aimed
AT Gen. NJ Arthur,
Stimson Declares
Sec'y. of War Denies
Regulation Directed
At Any Individual

WASHINGTON, April 8.
/ (UP)-The war department
regulation barring men on
active duty from running for
/ public office was not direct
ed at Gen. Douglas Macarthur or
any other individual, Secretary of
War Henry L. Stimson declared to-
day.
Stimson told his press conference
the regulation issued Feb. 25 repre-
sented merely a recodification of
policies and rulings already in ef-
feet.
He said the successful prosecution
of the war demanded that military
personnel have no diverting or ex-
traneous interests.
SOME EXCEPTIONS
An eXception-to permit soldiers
on active duty to accept reelection
with the approval of the war de-
partment to offices already held
was designed so that public officials
whose pensions or retirement ben-
efitS would be sacrificed would not
be subjected to hardships.
Stimson said the regulations had
not been discussed with the White
House.
The secretary of war declared the
regulation would not preclude the
possibility that a member of the
service might be discharged or plac-
ed on the retired list to run for
office, depending on the merits and
particulars of the individual case.
COULD RUN
Thus if Macarthur desired to run
fer the presidency-and there has
been no indication that he does
he could put the matter up to the
department with a request for re-

2.-Political cooperation in con-

Eden said he and the President

In destroying 81 Zeros, five dive
bomberS, and IL unclaSSified planes,
the Americans suffered a loss of
only seven fighter planes.
DIDN'T REPORT
The navy did not report whether
the attacking planes-which struck
on Wednesday Gsland time)-suc-
ceeded in scoring any hits on the
American chipping.
But the -SidedneSs of the fur
ious air combat, observers here be-
lieve, made it appear doubtful that
the japanese were able to carry
out their objective with any notable
success.
MANY PLANES
The size of the Japanese force
SO bombers escorted by 48 Zeros-
underScored recent reports that the
enemy has been increasing his aer-
ial strength in the southwest Pacific.
Earlier, a four-engined enemy
seaplane was destroyed, making en-
emy losses for the day 38 and bring
ing to 943 the total number of Jap
anese planes destroyed in the Sol
onions campaign.
u. S. LOSSES
u. S. losses were one Bell Aira-
cobra and six Grumman Wildcat
fighters. One American pilot was
rescued.
The battle climaxed two days of
intensified aerial activity in the
SolomonS and shattered a compar-
ative lull of many weeks in that
area.
The navy said the big Japanese
air fleet attacked U. S. shipping
near Guadalcanal but did not say
whether the enem" succeeded III
hitting any of the ships.
On Tuesday (Solomons time)
American airmen carried out four
raids on Japanese bases and ship
ping. That night, three Japanese
planes bombed Guadalcanal, but
there were no personnel casualties
and only light damage was report
ed.
The next day, force of Ameri-
can dive bombers carried out at
tackS on two japanese bases. The
four-engined enemy flying boat was
destroyed in one of these raids.
1t was later the same day that
the enemy sent its big air force
against the shipping near Guadal-
canal.

American troops joined the Brit
iSh Eighth army in rolling up the
southern flank of the Afrika Korps,
while in north Tunisia the British
First army drove forward four or
five miles.
With the Axis position deterior-
ating rapidly, the London radio re-
ported that an italian, Gen. Clio
vanni Messe, had been given COM
mand in Tunisia in what appeared
to be NaZi move to shunt the onus
of defeat onto Fascist shoulders.
SCORE BIG ADVANCE
Gen Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's
Imperials scored a big advance in
theit pursuit of Marshal Erwin
Rommels battered Afrika Korps
in the south, with American and
French forces joining in the chase
A dispatch from Allied headquar-
ters in North Africa said that the
Eighth army has advanced north
ward about Is miles from Wadi
Akarit, and all phases of the Allied
offensive are progressing satisfac-
torily.
At the other end of the front
Lieut.. Gen. K. A. N. Anderson's
British Fist army ripped into the
Axis positions in the Tunis- -Bizerte
corner, while in between other Al
lied forces were plugging at the
north-South line of German and
italian defenses.
FINCEKC CLOSES
For the first time the Allied Of
fensive had become a synchronized
operation, with a pincerS closing on
the armies of Rommel and Col. Gen.
Jurgen Won Arnim, which had only
the sea behind them.
1t was evident that the full i'm
port of the Allied threat to Tunisia
and to Europe had made its i'm
preston on the Axis. The Algiers
radio reported that the Italian ar
my had been put in state of alert
against am Allied landing. Adolf
Hitler and Benito MuSsolini were
reported meeting soon to discuss
the defenSes of Europe. The Nazis
began extensive troop maneuvers
along the North sea coast, and Lon
don sources said they expected an
invasion next month.
Except for North Africa, the war
operations were on a reduced scale.

Brown Appeals for

OPA Director Testifies
Against Pace Bill; New
Prices for Crops Told

WASHINGTON, April 8.
(UP) - Price Administrator
Prentiss M. Brown today ask
ed the senate agricultural
committee for "sympathy,
understanding and help" in his
fight to prevent inflationary prices
and wage rises.
He testified in opposition to the
Pace bill which would require in
cluSion of farm labor costs in COM
putation of farm parity prices.
Brown reiterated that the meas
ure would raise parity prices of
farm productions "by upwards of IA
per cent, drive up retail food prices
10i2 per cent, add more than 81
00C 100000 to the annual food
budget of consumers and add
$3.50 000,000 a year to the cost OF
feeding the armed forces and their
Allies"
END STERILIZATION
so radical a change in price of
food would end the stabilization of
prices-and of wages" Brown as
serted.
He insisted that farmers are in
better position today than they
ever have been before He said
that between August, 1899, and
January l943, the prices farmers
received rose 10 per cent, while
during The same period the prices
that farmers paid were held to an
increase of 26 per cent.
LAS a result" he continued, farm
prices which we're 80 per cent be-
low parity at the time war broke
out in 1889 reached a level of Is
pei cent above parity in January
OF this year"
BILL APPROVED
The committee previously had
approved the Pace bill and sent it
TO the senate without holding hear
ings. The senate, acting after Brown
and President Roosevelt had warn
eG that it would increase the cost
of living and probably force re-
vision of the Little Steel" wage
formula, sent the bill back to COM
