sition.
Secretary of War Stimson said
today poStponement Of Army plans
for soldiers to pick the cotton re-
suited from indications that what
appeared to be an emergency may
not be an insufficient emergency"
Further investigation, he told
his press conference, has tended to
show that it may not be necessary to
call on the Army to help in harvest
ing the long staple cotton in Ari-
Zona."
Conferences are still in progress
on the situation, he said, and he ex-
poets the matter to be settled very
soon" Mr.. Stimson recalled that
President Roosevelt has said the
Army would be used to help meet
agricultural labor shortages only in
an emergency, and after all other
sources of labor have been utilized.
At the Agriculture Department ii
was said that Secretary Wickard
had made no request for troops to
help pick the cotton. The original

The War Department, acting
on the request of the War Man
power Commission, was expected
to rescind today the order send
ing troops into the Arizona cot
ton fields to harvest the "indis-
pensable war material"
At the same time. the commission,
shaken considerably by a barrage
of unfavorable congressional criti-
cism, is planning to reopen discus,
sions on the need for national serv-
ice legislation as its operations here
and in the field begin to show signs
of sagging, due mainly to it's in
ability to recruit and maintain an
efficient staff.
1t. Gen. Joseph T. McNarney,
deputy chief of staff, said last night
following meeting of the commits
sion, that the War Departments
announcement that it would send
troops to the Arizona fields had
been released prematurely. He add
ed that the 9th Service Command
at Salt Lake City had been ordered
to delay any troop cotton picking

Food Price Inquiry Here
Authorized by Senate

The Senate today passed the Nye
resolution directing the Agriculture
Committee to investigate food prices
in Washington.
Senator Nye, Republican. OF North
Dakota asked for the inquiry to
find out what part of the price
paid by the ultimate consumer for
any agricultural commodity goes to
the farmer. He proposed that the
study be made in Washington for
the convenience of the committee
and because he believed the result
would be substantially the same in
any big city.
The committees task would be
TO compare prices at the farm with
those paid by the consumer to
ascertain the spread. The Senator
has expressed the opinion the in
quiry will show the farmer has re-
ceived a small part of increases
that have occurred.
The Senate reduced from $4,000
to $1,000 the cost Of the inveetigs-
ton.

American casualties in TuniSia
are considerably lighter than
were first believed, Secretary of
War Stimson said today in call
ing the retreat of the Axis forces
a "clear-cut repulse."
Our losses in tanks, scout cars and
field guns, although considerable,
have been replaced, he told his press
conference.
Earlier reports of American cas-
ualties have been corrected by later
information, the Secretary said,
adding that several American units
believed to have been cut off had
succeeded in rejoining their own
forces.
The most significant reaction
from the campaign, Mr.. Stimson
said, is the performance of our
ground forces-tanks, artillery. in
fantry-faced by war hardened Ger
mans.
Our ground forces not only have
stood their ground unbroken. but

0PA Official Denies
Congress Has Own
Special Ration Unit
But Bourd No. | Admits
Handling Applications
As q Convenience

The special ration board re-
portedly set up to serve members
of Congress seeking gasoline and
tires is nothing more than War
Price and Ration Board No. /,
an official of the local Office of
Price Administration said today,
amid speculation that another
row, like last summers storm of
protest over issuance of "X"
cards to Congressman, was in the
making.
Coming to light late yesterday, the
story had it that mysterious
super-service board had been in op-
Grafton since last summer for the
convenience of members of Congress
who wanted speedy action on their
applications for supplemental gas or
tires.
James D. Fitzgerald, chief clerk of
Board No. l, which is located in the
District Rent Control Office building
at 1740 Massachusetts avenue NV,
admitted the board had been ham
ding the applications of members
of Congress "as a convenience" for
them, but he described as "bosh" re-
ports they were getting anything
more than any other Washington
resident.
Calls Service Minor Item"
People are trying to make
mountain out of a molehill," he said.
Handling applications of Congress
members was minor item" of the
board, he said, and estimated that
only per cent of the boards busi-
ness concerned members on Capitol
Hill.
Robert K. Thompson, new director
of the local OPA, backed up Mr..
Fitzgerald's contention that no spe-
cial board had been in operation and
added that so far as he knew no

McNuH's Job Powers
Hang in Balance as
Funds Are Refused
House Committees Action
Threatens OccuputionoI
Control Program
BY the Associated Press.

's WIG HsSNNAdptu 1893.
The man on Washington's S
well-worn hot spot today is Paul
v. McNutt.
Developments of the next few
weeks may determine whether the
War Manpower Commissioner can
retain his control over the occupa-
tional destinies of some $4,000, 900 to
100000 Americans, a power great
er than ever before vested in any
one man.
Congress threw down what
amounted to gage of battle yes
terday when one Of its committees
refused to give him the money he
said was needed to carry out his
ambitious program of reshuffling
the work-a-day lives of thousands.
The manpower chiefs problem
could be summed up this way:
He must, within time limits he
has set-10 weeks at most-be find
ing war jobs for vast numbers whom
he has ordered out Of non essential
work.
To do this effectively, he must
expand and strengthen his agency
and he must get authority from
Congress before he can achieve the
strengthening and expanding.
Congress initial reaction came
from the House Appropriations
Committee, which refused flatlv to
authorize penny OF the S2,454 900
he said he must have to put his job
placement agency the United
States Employment Service-into
shape to help carry out his work
or fight" ultimatum to family men.
Moreover, it ignored his protest
against requirement that the Sem
ate confirm higher ranking VINO
appointees. Mr.. McNutt contends
this requirement is crippling him in
his efforts to recruit competent
staff.
Mr.. McNutt can follow the ex-
ample of former Price Administra-
tor Leon Henderson. who resigned
when threatened with a refusal of
funds, or attempt to battle his way
through. and. as he has limited he
would do, blame Congress for any
failure.
The course he will choose re-
manned uncertain as the committee
action found Mr.. McNutt on
speech making tour that sent him
to Philadelphia today.
