Kaiser Readies
Plane Fight

LOS ANGELES, Feb. IL. OUP)-
Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser. miffed
over reports that the flying boat
construction program he shares with
Howard Hughes is about to be
junked, Saturday volunteered that
he will have great deal to say
when secrecy surrounding the con-
tract award is lifted.
The miracle" builder indicated
dissatisfaction with the award in
the summer of l942 of contract
for only three giant flying boats as
well as other handicaps imposed.
He had offered to mass produce the
mammoth ships, repeatedly twice as
large as the biggest flying boat now
in production, within six months
after any substantial contract was
made.
All sorts of obstacles were put in
their way, he said.

lnJO Clle Sea.
Deprived of badly needed air
support by the stormy weather, the
allies nevertheless stood fast all
around the rim of the Anzio pocket.
Their position remained serious but
not hopeless.
Friday the Germans swung their
heaviest punches to the area of Cis-
terna, at the northeastern arc of
the beachhead AS rain and singing
sleet began sweeping over the bal
tlefield, the Nazis moved in against
the American manned positions
southwest of Cisterna.
The first charge left the no
man's-land before the United States
doughboys Uttered with German
dead. Then fresh Nazis swarmed
in over the bodies, only to fall back
in confusion, their ranks decimated
oy furnishing counterblows.
AS the bloody struggle wore on,
the piles of German bodies mounted
20 the proportions of a makeshift
breastworks guarding the United
States positions.
The counterblows rained on the
Nazis with such telling effect that
they failed to retrieve their dead,
and even left some wounded on the
field.
The heavy fighting was exhaust
ing for both sides, but the Germans
!ere expected to renew their as
Saults, possibly with fresh troops,
is soon as the weather permits.
For five days beginning last
Monday the Germans launched re-
.,eated attacks, powerfully support
ed by tanks and artillery, with some
tanks serving as rowing artillery.
The worst weather since Christ
mas grounded all allied planes yes
erday, depriving the hard pressed
ground forces of urgently needed
support. Clearing weather was in
prospect, however, and it seemed
likely that the air assault on the
Nazis might be resumed and the

River for
Plane Victims

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. IL. (UP)--
Divers searched the cold, wind
whipped waters of the Mississippi
Saturday for pieces of Wreckage of
an American airliner which crashed
into the river and carried its "a
occupants to death.
Rescue squads recovered pieces of
flesh, bloody pillows and small parts
of the plane which floated to the
surface, and the divers hoped to
find some of the bodies.
An examination of the Wreckage
indicated that the airliner disinte-
grated when it plunged into the
river Thursday night when only a
few minutes flying time from Men,
phis airport, its destination.
The task of recovering the vic
TINS or additional parts of the plane
was complicated because the river
bed at the site of the crash is quick
sand. The plane disappeared in the
swift current which flows between
Cow island a large sandbar, and
the Arkansas side of the river.

Congress Girds to Kill
Veto on Subsidy Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. H. CUP)-
Both sides agreed Saturday that the
congressional farm bloc's bill to out
law the administrations consumer
food subsidy program is headed for
an early presidential veto.
The senate late Friday uttered a
vicious mo" to the subsidy pro-
gram by voting, 43 to %, to ban the
use of subsidies for milk, meat, but
ter and wheat for flour after June
30, 1914, thus joining its voice to
that of the house which has already
passed a similar ban.
With a veto almost certain, both
pros" and "antis" began almost i'm
mediately to muster their strength

for the real showdown expected
when the farm bloc attempts to
override the president.
Nine months ago when the same
issue was at stake, the presidents
veto held, and the subsidies were
continued. This time the anti-sub-
sidy forces appear stronger, but the
odds are about even on whether
they will be able to raise the two
thirds vote in both houses necessary
to override.
