Roosevelt, as Commander in Chief,
would be necessary, Senator Truman
pointed out.
If the trip is undertaken, he said,
the division Of war materials be-

Roosevelt ProcIoims
April 6 as Army Day
By the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt today pro-
claimed Tuesday. April g. as Army
Day and asked the public to reflect
on ways and means of increasing
the flow of supplies to American
soldiers on the world battlefronts.
He requested State governors to
issue proclamations appropriate to
the day. He also asked that on that
day. while intensifying the war
effort in factories, fields, mines,
transportation lines and ports, the
American people reflect upon the
soldiers whose very lives they hold
in trust and upon ways and means
of increasing the flow of supplies
to them and of maintaining in this

10 Planes Shot Down.
American Flying Fortresses cruised
over the sea between Tunisia and
Sicily hunting enemy shipping and
were attacked by Is Messerschmitts.
Four Of the enemy craft were shot
down.
Altogether 10 enemy planes we're
shot down in air battles and up
and down the front, and over Al
giers last night during an enemy
raid. Against these, the Allies suf-
fered one plane lost, the communi-
que said.
The advance of the British in
Southern Tunisia was the second in
as many days announced by Allied
headquarters despite heavy rains
tending to slow down operations.
An Algiers radio broadcast re-
corded by the Associated Press in
London said. without mentioning a
time element, that the British 9th
Army had evacuated its bridgehead
over the Wadi Zigbaou in the Mar
eth Line after indicting heavy losses
on the enemy.
This apparently was a belated ref
erence to local German counterat-
tack early in the week, since sue

Close Vote Expected
# President Vetoes
Farm Price Measure
Administrations Attempt
To Uphold NuIIificotion
Will Center in House

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt had the
opportunity today to bolster the
administrations stand against
blanket wage boosts by vetoing a
farm price increase bill.
Most congressional leaders ex-
pected him to do Just that-but the
question seemed to be whether he
could make such a veto stick.
Before him was a measure unani-
mously approved in final form yes
terday by the Senate. 1t would set
aside an executive directive for de-
duction of Government benefit paw
ments from parity price standards
IN setting farm product price CELL
ingS.
With OPA Administrator Prentiss
Brown asserting such a law would
boost cost of living $500, 900 900,
the way apparently was open for
a brlstling veto reaffirming the ad-
miniStration determination to hold
the line against what it terms in
f1ationary movements.
Doubt If Veto Will Stick.
Whether a veto could be made
to stand. however, seemed to depend
largely on the ability of administra-
ton leaders to get enough city
votes recorded in a House roll call
to prevent a tWo-thirds margin to
override it there. Any such hopes
in the Senate seemed futile, since
only the two Rhode Island members
voted No when the measure orig
inally was passed there.
Leaders jockeyed, meanwhile, to
prevent precipitate action by the
Senate Agriculture Committee on a
companion measure to include all
farm labor costs in calculating par
ity. Parity is a standard aimed to
equalize prices at which farmers
exchange their crops for manufac-
tured articles. 1t also is the base
to which farm price ceilings are
anchored
The Senate returned this House.
approved measure to the committee
Yesterday on a voice vote after farm
bloc determination to push it to pas
sage had collapsed after expression
of opinion that it was a bad hour to
be approving such a bill when labor
leaders were seeking wage increases.
Agreed on Delay.
Farm organization leaders who
have backed the measure were re-
| ported to have agreed to the delay.
| Their demands for assurances that
| it would be taken up by the Senate
/ within time limit Of 60 days, how
ever, we're understood to have been
rejected by coalition of Democrats
| and Republicans who demonstrated
they had the votes to halt consider
alton now.
Thus the measure rested with the
committee which took only 10
minutes to report it out last Mon
day and which Senator Thomas
Democrat, of Oklahoma predicted
would need only 10 days in which
to hold brief hearings and report
it out again.
Majority Leader Barkley had a
different idea. however. He told
reporters he believed it might be
some length of time before the COM
mlttee acted again on the matter.

John R. Steelman, head of the
