price control will bring more
inconvenience on the food front.
S-Consumers must do away
- with food waste, which
takes some 10 to Is per cent
of the total supply.
c-Civilians in 1871. and 1912
" were able 10 eat better
than they had in the past 30
years. The unprecedented de-
mand. arising from wartime
prosperity, could absorb all the
food being diverted TO military
purposes and then some. Hence,
civilians may feel that the
shortage is more severe than
il really is. because they can't
buy all they want.
LITTLE FANCY FOOD
The OWL acknowledged that the
food situation is serious, but as
serted that there will be enough
if il is fairly shared and con.
served, There will be little fancy
food. however.
Compared with 1912 and roughly
estimated on the basis of pros.

RowIes Warns
Of Subsidy
Lack as Hazard
Declares Prices
Will Boom
If Plan Is Ended

WASHINGTON, Dec, :. (uP) =
Price administrator Chester Bowles
said today that food prices would
increase at least seven to 10 per
cent in 1914 if the present COLI
sumer subsidy program is ended
He told the senate banking COM
mittee that if congress enactS the
bill to stop subsidies Dec. 81, food
prices would rise approximately
seven per cent during the first two
weeks of January. He would be
"overjoyed" if the office of price
administration could hold the in
crease to 10 per cent.
Following such a rise in food
rrices. he said. demands for wage
increases would make it "impos-
sible to hold the little steel form
ula"
Demands for wage increases will
ccme faster and faster" he said,
industrial costs will rise, then we
will have to give further price in
creaseS.
But wnu;ever is decided, the
OPA is going to stay on the job
and fight, and I'll stay as long as
In allowed to- But it will be al
most beyond the capacity of the
agency to hold the line"
He appealed for congressional
approval of continuation of the
present program, and asked for "a
little breathing space to allow for
problems we can foresee now
The present rate of subsidy pay
ments is about $1,100000,000 an
nually, and Bowles said he believed
a top of ,5O0,0oO,O00 would "see

Its a question of one thing be-
ing more costly than another" he
said-"the increased food prices
would be many times more eXpen-
sive than the cost of subsidies in
taxation"
BowleS said he had come around
to favor subsidies reluctantly, and
that he will never ask for an un-
limited" program.
Bowles began his testimony by
saying the subsidy debate had gone
to extremes, with ridiculous argu-
ments being made on both sides
Sen. John Bankhead, D., Ala, a
subsidy foe, congratulated him fol
clearing away the rubbish
The national lawyers guild de-
manded that the subsidy ban be
removed from the bill, saying its
retention would allow the disaster
of initiation to create chaotic con-
ditionS on our home front"

While speculation ran high that

for q second front in Europe, in

Despite the confident tone of
the speculation. German military
power in Russia showed few signs
of an imminent collapse. Waves of
Nazi tanks and intantrymen hurled
themselves against the Soviet lines
all along the front from the Dniep-
