Quoted by IL salvage committees in
Northeast Washington today Is pro-
crossing very well, according to
Horace Walker, executive director
of the District Salvage Committee.
Mr.. Walker, who made two-hour
tour OF the area, estimated that ap-
proximately $1,000 pounds Of waste
paper would be collected In the
house-to-house canvass. The last
collection netted 56,1 pounds.
Constant pleas of press and radio
were credited for the increased COL
lections, although Mr.. Walker
pointed out that many persons who
had paper available at their homes
did not place it in front of their
doors to facilitate pickups.
MIR. Walker said cooperation was
exceedingly good in some blocks,
while only one pile was found in
others. He praised the Boy Scouts
and Parent Teacher Associations
for their work, but said they could
not carry the entire burden.
Areas collecting are Brookland-
Dahlgren, Central Northeast, Dean
wood, Greater Woodbridge, Lincoln
Park, Marshall Heights, Metropolis
View, Michigan Park, North Capitol

Germans Dig Grave.
Six of the Germans had been
wounded in the shelling of the house
and one had been killed. BY this
time the captain had located one OF
his men who spoke a little English
and, using him as an Interpreter, he
asked whether it would be all right
to bury the dead man before start
ing back to our lines. The five held
council Of war and decided 1t
would be all right.
The Germans dug a grave and
stood at attention while the captain
said few words.
That" said Pfc. Hawkins, was
when began to feel like a stinker.
There they were standing praying
and there we were standing around
looking foolish covering them with
a couple of guns apiece"
Now that the boys were mixed up
with SO many Germans, the snipers
in the bushes had stopped shooting
at them for fear of hitting their
own people. They weren't allowed
to relax for long, however. No
sooner had the prisoners finished
with their funeral service than artil-
lery shells began landing around
them and Germans and Americans
alike dived into the trench.
I'VE didn't know whether 1t was
enemy artillery or ours" said Sergt.
Humphrey. Could've been both the

Ticklish Situation for Americans.
1t was ticklish situation for the
five Americans taking cover in COM
pany with nearly so of the enemy.
They were so scattered through the
crowd that they could maintain
contact with one another only by
calling back and forth. They were
so busy keeping their own heads
down that keeping their eyes on
all their prisoners was out of the
question.
But the Germans gave them no
trouble, never even asking who was
whose prisoners-a question which
was uppermost in the minds of the
Americans. At the end of the half
hours barrage Pfc. Hawkins passed
out what was left of the bottle of
whisky TO the wounded Germans.
Then the prisoners picked up their
wounded and the Americans picked
up their guns and together they
headed back into our lines.
Well said Pfc. Hawkins, "well
be back there later on in the after
noon, I guess. I hope we catch
some more of them I hope it isn't

Reasonable Limits
On Campaign Expense
Advocated by Weeks
BY the Associated prsss

By the Associated Press.
A reasonable" limitation on ex-
penditures in the presidential CAM
paign was advocated today by Sem
atcr Weeks Of Massachusetts, treas
urer of the Republican National
Committee.
Senator Weeks told a reporter
that while he thought it might be
d1mcult to enforce proposal by
Senator Gillette. Democrat. of Iowa
to hold all expenditures for each
presidential candidate within
s., 900, 900. with an additional 81, ,O00.-
600 for the vice presidential candi-
date, he felt that campaign costs
should be held down in wartime.
Senator Gillette told the Senate
Elections Committee yesterday that
information reports to the 1910
Senatorial Campaign Investigating
Committee which he headed indi-
Gated the Republicans had spent
$14 100000 and the Democrats
s6,oo0,000 in the last presidential
election. He estimated total ex-
penditures by all parties in the cam
paign at $30,0OO,0OO including
amounts not reported to the Senate
group.
While Senator Weeks said he
thought there was no way of obtain
ing accurate data on the outlays of
various State committees, he was
certain in his own mind that a
total OF not more than $4,000, 900
was spent by the organizations
which supported Wendell L. Willkie,
the Republican presidential nominee.
The total for a ticket under the
Gillette plan would be the same as
the 100000 Hatch Act limitation
now imposed on individual. commit
tees working in behalf of the presi-
dental and vice presidential candi-
dates, but Senator Gillette COM
planned that this was ineffective
because any number of committees
could be formed.

Recess in I Weeks

Prospects that Congress will re-
cess in two weeks for the conven-
tions frightened today as the House
Banking Committee, unanimously
approving years extension of war
time price control, avoided another
legislative battle on the issue of out
lawing consumer food subsidies.
The committee compromised the
question by saying the present sub
sides on meat, butter and -four may
continue, but prohibited consumer
price aid on any other food items.
One major issue embodied in move
led by Senator Bankhead, Democrat,
of Alabama, to provide special
price standards for the textile in
dustry, was put into a separate price
control extension measure by the
Senate Banking Committee. Rep
resentative Brown, Democrat, of

to insert the Bankhead proposal
into the House bill Cotton now is

legality of an OPA regulation and
permitting such tests at any time.
2. Rigid restrictions against OPA
forcing changes in accustomed busi-
ness practices.

control The law now says he
may" alter such inequities.

Rome Looks Close and Peaceful
From Plane Above Allied Lines

the perfect highway for an attack
in the direction of the city from the
western or seaward side of our line.
You cannot help wondering why we
bother to take the heavily fortified
hills and towns to the east, with
such an avenue before us.
Dropping down a little lower you
can see one reason why. That
smooth" plain is actually CORFU
gated with small ridges and gulleys
The terrain, which incidentally is
heavily mined, is not only obviously
unsuited to tank warfare, but also
can be easily defended against at
tacking infantry, by virtue of the
fact that a few well-placed machine
guns can command the gulleys
through which our troops must ad-
vance.
The other reason is the Alban
Hills, dominating the coastal plain
on the east. They look green and
gentle this afternoon, but German
guns around Albano and Genzano
nesting beside their two lakes
threaten the low land for miles
around.
Hills Must Be Captured.
The hills must be taken before
the road to Rome opens to our
troops. The penetration is already
underway. Way of to our right lie
the houses Of Velletri, former strong
point of the German defensive line
above the beachhead, now in our
hands. From here we can see
clearly the reasons for the fall of
Velletri, which our forces never at
tackled.
A long ridge of hills rises steeply
behind the town, the first of many
ridges. Americans, infiltrating in
force through the German lines Of
the town, seized this ridge. No one
looking at the thing from this angle
could question the wiseness of the
German withdrawal from the town
in the face of that daring exploit
1t locks from here as though the
Americans could have rolled rocks
down the slope onto them If they
had wanted to.
In closer to us, at bay against the
hillside, is the town Of Lanuvio. The
enemy is still hanging on here, fol-
this is another bastion of his present
defensive line. A bitter battle OF
attrition has been in prograss before
Lanuvio for week now. Our artil-
lery Is shelling the town at present
and flowers are blossoming among
the houses.
