car company here reported Mr..
Pridgeon had rented a car from

British Will Favor
World Food Office
AT Hot Springs Talks
Delegations Chairman
Outlines Plan; PorIey
To Be Opened Tuesday

The British delegation to the
United Nations Food Conference
opening Tuesday at Hot Springs, Va,
was on record today favoring the
creation of an international organi-
zation, similar to the International
Labor Office, for the collection and
dissemination of facts bearing on
the world food problem.
The proposal-the first to be
offered by any of the 43 nations pre-
pairing to discuss postwar food and
agriculture problems-came yester-
day from Richard K. Law. under
secretary of foreign affairs and
chairman Of the British delegation
to the food conference.
Would Be Pathfinder.
One achievement of the confer
ence, he told reporters at a press
conference in the British Informa-
tion Services headquarters here,
might be the setting up of such an
organization. He compared it with
the international Labor Office in
Montreal and added that it should
command adequate statistical in
formation regarding all important
agricultural products and dietetic
requirements and would study con-
sumption and production problems
as simple whole"
The organization would be fact
finding and advisory and would
have no executive powers, Mr.. Law
said.
If such an organization were
created, the United Kingdom gov
ernment, at any rate, would enter
the peace with much greater con-
fldence that we shall not be found
unequal to the tremendous task
which faces us all We have discov-
cred in the last three and a half
years that food is munition of war.
We are now finding that it is equally
munltion of peace he declared.
Wallace Favored World Plan.
An international food authority
modelled after this countrys Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration
to guide world production and dis
tribution of agricultural commodi-
ties has been advocated by some
leaders in the United States, in
Guiding Vice President Wallace,
former Secretary of Agriculture.
Great Britain, Mr.. Law said, be-
lieves that the key to a postwar
world free from want lies in ex-
panding international trade and in
providing the fullest possible degree
of employment for all people.
He added that, while it was not
the business of the conference to
deal with general economic prob
lens, it was his opinion that it was
most emphatically the business of
the conference to draw attention to
the existence of these wider prob
lens. and, in particular to relate the
problems of food and agriculture to
them.
Unless we achieve this. unless we
are able to impress upon the minds
of our respective peoples the plain
fact that freedom from want. that
adequate standards of food and nu
triton depend fundamentally upon
a developing an dexpanding world
trade and upon the fullest possible
degree of steady employment, the

715,000.000 expected under existing
law. 1t would cancel an estimated
50, 900, 900 in accrued liabilities of
taxpayers - money the Treasury
would lose" when those taxpayers
died or their income dropped off in
years to come.
Immediately after passage of the
bill Chairman George of the Finance
Committee moved that the Senate
insist on its version and ask a con-
ference with the House on differ
ences in the two bills.
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia, presiding. appointed as
conferees Senators George, Dem
ocrat, of Georgia; Walsh, Dem
ocrat. of Massachusetts,; Connal-
ly, Democrat, of Texas; Clark,
Democrat, of Missouri; Vandenberg,
Republican. of Michigan; Davis. Re-
publican. of Pennsylvania, and DAN
aher, Republican, of Connecticut.
The latter was named when Senator
La Toilette, Progressive, of Wiscon-.
sin declined to serve because he said
he was "out of sympathy" with the
Senate's action. This gave support
ers Of the bill a 5-to-2 margin among
Senate confereeS,

L
Ruml, chairman of the New York
Federal Reserve Bank. and close
relative of the Carlson bill which the
House rejected recently by four
vote margin.
Hinges on House Action.
It's chances of being the final con-
gressional choice depend largely on
whether the House accepts it or
sends it to conference committee
for a compromise.
And Representative Forand. Dem
ocrat, of Rhode Island, co-author OF
he House bill, said he felt the Sem
ate version was sure to be sent to
conference-and warned, I'm going
to fight for my bill to the last
ditch
Il don't think the Ruml support
ers in the House can muster suffi-
cient strength to instruct the con-
ferees to adopt the Senate bill" he
said. adding that it might become
necessary to rewrite the abatement
features of both bills
He asserted the Senate bill would
mean future tougher taxes on the
lower and middle income groups-a
charge hurled by both sides during
the long controversy over abating
full year.
Coalition Holds Firm.
Sign of the Senate's probable stand
came from Senator Clark, Democrat,
of Missouri. who pointed out that
majority of all of that chambers
96 members had approved the re-
vised bill and said that fact should
carry weight with the House. Final
Senate passage came when 18 Demo-
crates joined 81 Republicans to out
vote 27 Democrats, 2 Republicans
and a Progressive in the opposition.
This coalition held its lines firmly
throughout day of voting that saw
five major alternative proposals, in
cluding the House-approved bill. re-
jected by margins ranging from 10
to 36.
! Briefly, the Senate bill would put
the ordinary taxpayer on a current
basis by crediting to his 1043 debt
the first two tax installments paid
by June Is on his 1912 income.
! Current collection would be car
ried out by two methods Starting
July l. wage and salary earners
would find 20 per cent of their pay,
above basic exemptions, withheld by
their employers to meet the rest of
their 1943 tax liabilities.
Persons who have other types of
income would have to file by Sep
tember Is an estimate of their 1943
tax liability and pay on 1t quarterly.

proved bill would boost income and

In other battle areas of the Kuban

The furious air war continued up

The flow of material has been def

The Russians savage aerial at

Reds Bomb Warsaw.
Railway functions, airdromes, fuel

began Wednesday and continued
through Friday, with Warsaw
bombed in one foray over Poland

planes.
Tass, the Russian news agency,
said 300 freight cars. more than
200 trucks loaded with arms and
