Berlin Sees Ward Case
As Setback for Roosevelt

By the Associated Press.
The Berlin radio broadcast the
following today on Government seiz-
ure of the Montgomery Ward plant,
quoting a DNB German news
agency dispatch from Geneva:
"The sensational and illegal oc-
cupation by United States troops Of
the largest American mail order de-
partment store, Montgomery Ward,
has caused such strong protest
that the Roosevelt government has
had to yield on the whole front.
The London Daily Express re-
ports that first, the troops were
called back; second, the Government
ordered an election among the staff
of Montgomery Ward-which the
management had always been de-
manding, and third, Roosevelt's ad-
herents in Congress had to renounce
their opposition to an examination
of the case.
THE Senate and the House of
Representatives will closely examine
whether certain war authorities of
Roosevelt's which will expire June
80, and which also include authority
for occupying companies, are to be
prolonged after what has happened
to Montgomery Ward"

VIA Officials Warn
AGAINST Letdown in
Food Production

War Food Administration officials
are concerned over the future Of
the country's food program in the
light Of recent developments max
ing most meats and large guam
titles of fruits and vegetables point
free.
Too many civilians are convinced
that the food problems are over
now, when this is far from the
truth, officials said. With the public
thus letting down its guard, such
programs AS Victory gardens may
suffer. There are already indica-
tions that the number of Victory
gardens Is well below the goal urged
by President Roosevelt, Secretary
Of Agriculture Wickard and Food
Administrator Marvin Jones.
VITA last winter set the 1914 Vic
tory garden goal for the Nation at
"a, ,000, 900. Last years goal was 49,
600, 900 gardens but 1t was exceeded
by 100000. Food planners who
have been counting heavily on pro-
duce from home gardens admit they
will have no such luck this year.
Close on the Once Of Price Ad-
ministration decision to make most
meats point-free, Mr.. Jones warned,
In a formal statement yesterday,
that because we have plenty now,
it does not necessarily follow that
we will have plenty later"
Too many people are prone to
take the food supply for granted. he
said, adding: "It will be even hard
er to meet our needs this year than
it was last year." Any food supply
is only temporary and must be con-
stantly replenished, he said.
Mr.. Jones pointed out that spring
have been held up by too
much rain.
There are not as many people on
the farm as before the war, and
many Of our young people capable
Of doing hard work on the farms
have gone into the armed f6rces
and to the factories, attracted. BY
higher pay and shorter hours he
added.
The demand for war needs has
made it impossible to get Ill the
farm machinery that Is needed to
replace the men who have left the
farms and to replace the orn-out
equipment"
Mr.. Jones limited at possible re-
duced supplies Of meat and poultry
later on. A shortage of feed makes
it necessary to adjust livestock and
poultry numbers to lower feed levels,
he said. This will necessitate mar
keting through the year q greater
number Of cattle, hogs and poultry
and the culling of dairy herds, .
leaving more feed for the better
producers.

Price Control PeriIed
By COP, Patman
Tells Economists

Representative Patman, Democrat,
of Texas today charged Republican
politicians with endangering the
price control structure Of the coun-
try.
I'm district after district, and in
State after State" he told a gather
ing Of economists at the Brookings
Institution, Republican candidates
for Office are running on platforms
Of more gas, more tires, more sugar,
higher prices for their constituents
products, lower taxes and down with
all bureaucrats."
These. platforms" he charged,
"are not put together in a conscious
effort to wreck the country's war
effort, but they do add up to just
that. They are not put together
with any object at all, save to elect
the candidates, and the easiest way
to do this seems to be to tell the
people that their sacrifices are need
less and are imposed only for the
pleasure Of sadistic bureaucrats; to
tell them that they can relax and
still win"
The meeting was one phase of a
two-day conference sponsored by
the Academy Of World Economies
and the National Social Science
Honor Society, Pi Gamma Mu, in
collaborationswith the American As
sociation for the Advancement Of
Science.
The cost of living has risen since
the outbreak of the war in Europe
by 20 per cent in England, Mr.. Pat
man said, from 100 to 900 per cent
in the Near East and from about so
to 100 per cent in Latin American
countries, while in the United States,
with effective controls, "our total
rise in the cost of living has been %
per cent"
This afternoons session was to
feature a discussion OF Imitation
and Credit Control" with Robert v.
Fleming, president Of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank, presiding.
Speakers at tonight's session at
8:15 o'clock, will include Senator
Radcliffe, Democrat, of Maryland
and Reavis Cox, professor Of mar
keting at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, and director Of Research
Projects Of the Retail Credit Insti-
tute Of America.
At last nights session, Edwin G.
Nourse, vice president Of Brookings
Institution emphasized the need Of
both public and private finance, as
well as cooperation between the
two IN solving postwar unemploy-
ment problems.

House Republican
Leaders Drop Fight
On Food Subsidies
BY the Associated Press.

The Republican leadership in
the House has decided to aban-
don its fight against subsidies
and approve continued price
control with only one change
court review of OPA regulations.
Two members high in the COP
party councils disclosed this shift
in strategy today and one of them
put it this way:
I'VE are on record in this thing,
not once but twice. Everyone knows
how we feel about it. We have
decided, though, that we'll not press
the issue this time and we'll vote
for renewal Of the price control law
with that one change which would
provide for court reviews"
Wagner to Offer Proposal.
Prospects that the Senate Bank
Ing Committee will recommend ex-
tension of price control for is
months beyond June 80. instead Of
II, were all but clinched, meanwhile,
with word from Chairman Wagner
that he would formally propose the
longer term.
Senator Taft of Ohio, Republican
member Of the committee, had sug-
gested IS months to provide a
calendar-year end.
Some witnesses, notably Chairman
Mariner S. Eccles of the Federal
Reserve System, have suggested that
controls be continued until we'll after
the war ends to guard against in
flation.
Senator Wagner took the BIZ
partisan support for an 18-month
extension as an indication the peo-
pie are getting to like OPA more-or
at least disliking it less-as time
passes.
Wolcott Loses Support.
The House Republican leadership,
It was understood, has overruled the
position taken by Representative
Wolcott, Republican, of Michigan,
who has always fought against SUBJ
sidies-Government financial aid to
professors to keep down retail costs.
When Mr.. Wolcott first voiced
blast against subsidies, the Repub-
lican leadership backed him to the
port. J.
Subsidy foes pushed a repeater
through Congress, but were unable
to override President Roosevelt's
veto.
Mr.. Wolcott Immediately an
nounced he would seek to outlaw
subsidies through the OPA renewal
bill, but none of the COP leaders
ever publicly sided with this new
stand.
The court review amendment the
Republicans will support grants the
right Of recourse to the Federal
courts for persons and concerns
claiming injury by operations Of
the price control program.
