afternoon. They said the unions
promise to work Monday was suffi-
Cient for them and they tried to
get a WLB okay to proceed with
the negotiations Immediately in
hope of expediting a settlement. But

to the parties, that negotiations in
a case within the jurisdiction of the

1t was expected the board would

Cotton Farmers Face
Big Loss in Policy
.NCCC, FuImer Says
BY the Associated Press.


COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. IT.
Chairman Fulmer of the House
Agriculture Committee said today
the South's cotton farmers would
lose millions of dollars this year due
to what he called unjust procedure
on the part of" the Commodity
Credit Corp.
Shortage of labor, Mr.. Fulmer
said, also will contribute to lower in
come for the cotton grower.
In letter to j. B. Hutson, presi-
dent of the Federal Agency, Repre-
sentative Fulmer said farmers, un-
der the wide differentials on grades
and staples below middling (set by
the CCC) ''' are going to lose mill
lions of dollars this year."
The committee chairman esti-
mated the 1943 cotton crop at a.
10000 bales and added that "be-
cause Of the shortage of labor
farmers are not going to be able
to gather their cotton promptly as
usual. Therefore. in leaving this
cotton in the fields, naturally we
are going to have millions of bales
Of low-grade cotton, brought about
because Of the inability to harvest
cotton promptly and deterioration
on account Of rain. ."
TN 1939," Representative Fulmer
wrote, "the differential was per-
fectly satisfactory Now just why
your agency, under the above cir
cumstances, should change this diff
ferential, which amounts to any
where from IS to $40 per bale in
comparison with 1899, is beyond me. !"

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE uncle of
girl whose life has been endan-
gered by the staphylococci type of
septicemia reported yesterday that
he had appealed to President Roose-
velt in an effort to obtain supply
Of the precious drug. penicillin.
The uncle, H. w. Plomann, said
he had sent telegram to the White
House, asking the Chief Executive
to prevail upon Government Of
ficials to release sufficient penicillin
to treat his niece, Marie Barker, 20,
after the physician in the case had
mad unsuccessful attempts to obtain
the drug.
Miss Barker has been i'll for a
month and has received IA blood
transfusions.
NEW YORK, Aug. II {P.-Two-
year-old Patricia Malone, aided by
penicillin, continued to hold her
own today in her battle against a
septic poisoning illness. Although
her temperature was above 103 de-
grees yesterday afternoon, her
physician, DR.. Dante Colitti, said
the girls condition remained about
the same.
Hospital authorities said the origi-
nal supply Of penicillin released by
the Government may soon be ex-
'hausted, but expressed confidence
that more could be obtained.

which equaled the smashing defeat
suffered by their crack Afrika
Korps in Tunisia.
A path for the American advance
elements which penetrated into
Messina was blasted by heavy artil-
lery, which opened up a lombard
ment OF the city at 3 am. today.
The Germans were reported still
using some mobile artillery, how
ever, in final desperate attempt
to stem the Allied onrush and a
communique from Allied headquar-
tiers said they had launched an un-
successful counterattack against the
9th Army at one point yesterday.
Moppingup operations in the
Messina region were reported pro-
crossing.
Most Of Island in Allied Hands.
Virtually all of Sicily now is In
the hands of the Allied armies
which launched their invasion OF
the island on July 10, when an in

American, British and Canadian
troops was landed on the southern
beaches.
1t. Arthur E. Luthy of Drexel
Hill, Pa, a reconnaissance pilot, re-
ported after flight over the strait
yesterday that there were few signs
OF activity there. He said he saw
not more than 10 small boats and a

At q forward command post Of

few rounds and then ducking
back into cover" he said. TT was
just too much Of nuisance"
A succession of little towns along
the coastal road bore the scars Of
the Nazis' passing. The stencil Of
death came from shelled buildings
and there were occasional bodies OF
German and Italian soldiers on the
road along with the carcasses of
mules and horses.
Spadofora = Shambles.
Shell holes and shrapnel marks
pitted scores of structures. Spado-
fora, where the Nazis were caught
and beaten in street fighting, was
left a shambles, with the streets full
of rubble.
The roads were lined with groups
OF scores of Italians glad to sur
render now that the German mill
tary masters were in retreat.
Milazzo, which the Germans had
hoped to use as a northern evacua-
ton point, was battered to pieces by
Allied bombers. Ha@

fierce battle. Eight bombers were

The full power OF the Northwest
African Air Forces was thrown into
the battle to prevent the Germans
and italians from regrouping on the
mainland, slashing at roads and
bridges in an effort to keep the dog
tired enemy from reaching points
of safety inland.
The Viterbo airdrome, As miles
north of Rome, again was ham,
mered.
10 Barges Destroyed.
Ten barges were destroyed and 16
damaged and four merchant vessels
torpedoed by Allied aircraft in
harassing attacks on shipping and
blows at the last evacuation efforts
of the enemy. Two of the ships
were caught IS miles north of
Naples, another close to the mouth
of the Tiber, and fourth near
Imperia on the west side Of the Gulf
Of Genoa.
The Americans pressed into Mes
sina from the north coast, writing
a virtual finish to the 38-day cam
paign launched on July 9-10 by the
biggest amphibious invasion in his
tory.
The Germans made a brief stand
at Spadafora San MARITIME, on the
coast less than miles from Mes
sina, but the doughboys crashed
through in spectacular last dash.
From then on it was a bloodless
scramble to reach the battered goal
AS they were reaching the out
skirts, Gen. Eisenhower was ad-
dressing group of WACS at Allied
headquarters and telling them
"Messina will fall tonight or to-
morrow"
Entire Train Captured.
Before the penetration into Mes
sina was announced an Allied head
quarters eommunique said the
Americans had reached Monforte
San Giorgio and Gessa, just to the
west of the port.
Ine Germans had no time to lay
their usual networks OF mines and
the Americans captured an entire
train of enemy trucks as they
moved up.
But an almost complete eclipse
of the moon early Sunday night
gave the enemy an unusual oppor-
tunity to escape.
With American forces in Messina
the last avenue of escape was closed
for the Axis forces still attempting
to resist the advance of the British
troops farther south.
Number Trapped Is Not Clear.
How many Axis troops remained
in the trap was not Immediately
clear. For several days, however
the Germans have been moving
men and equipment across the
narrow Strait of Messina to the
Italian mainland in an attempt te
salvage something from the debacle

space Of 20 minutes.
Axis Ships Are Sunk. .
Yesterday morning warships sank
an armored lighter and two escort
craft OF Cape Bonifati, slightly to
the south. and Who Valentia Ma
rina, still farther south, again was
bombarded.
These were in addition to daily
bombardments of the Sicilian coast
by gunboats and destroyers.
American naval units drove off
enemy motor torpedo boats north of
Messina yesterday, the naval COM
munique said and British forces
similarly put to flight other motor
torpedo boat units near Cape
RiZzuto.
Presumably the fear that the
Allies would launch other amphi-

Calls for Practical

newed criticism of confusion and
an asserted lack of practical men
in Washington home front war
bureaus came today in another pro-
cession of speakers appearing before
the second day of conference OF
Midwest members OF Congress and
trade groups.
Speakers representing grain and
feed farmers and merchants picked
up the same line of complaints
voiced at the opening conference
yesterday-duplicating and contra
dictory directives from Washington
and rules and regulations made
without consulting affected indus
tl.s."
E. J. eastman, New Richmond
Wis, feed dealer, said THE division
of authority among many Govern
ment agencies has seriously con-
fused all of us and has certainly
limited production
Practical Men Urged.
He appealed to Government bu-
reaus to begin working with prac-
tical men,
A Minneapolis commission mer-
chant, B. F. Benson, said he was not
particularly opposed to ceilings set
by the Government, but that he
thought the great mistake was
made in not counseling with the
trade before ceilings were put on
Mark Thornberg, Des Moines,
former Iowa Secretary of Agricul-
ture, said the greatest immediate
need now is survey of the require
ments and possible production of
farms and the vesting Of authority
over farm production in one depart
ment, and with men who know what
they are doing"
There is not a man here" he said
to his audience of several hundred,
who can take the OPA regulation
on corn and read it and know what
it means"
Two Opinions From Same Office.
Mr.. Thornberg said he had gone
TO the OPA Office at Des Moines
to get an Interpretation of an i'm
portant directive and had received
two entirely different opinions as
to its meaning from the same OPA
office.
Mr.. eastman painted dark pic
ture Of feed prospects for Midwest
livestock poultry and dairy pro-
ducers. He said the feed shortage
would run better than 20 per cent,
and result in increased selling of
stock by the farmers.
Actually and potentially, he said,
there is more feed available In this
country than any country ever had
but the Government "set up food
goals without giving farmers enough
feed to meet them"

dropping back for rest.
The decision to have the divisions
share in the glory of the ultimate
victory came as a well-earned re-
ward to one group of men who land
ed at Fedala last November and an
other-the 45th Division-who sailed
from the United States to meet their
first battle test under fire on the
shores of Sicily, July 10.
AS they cut across the peninsula
toward Messina, another column
continued around on the coastal
road to bottle up any Axis forces
trying to evacuate from the tip Of
peninsula near Tore de Faro.
A third American column rushed
rapidly through mountainous ter
rain from the southwest and British
troops, after the invasion landing
at Ali, swept on toward Messina
Harbor along the eastern coastal
road.
German resistance began to COL
lapse in front of the main Amer
