Food Subsidy
Plan Scored
Formers 'Uncertoin'
Senator Chorses

Z WASHINGTON, Feb. SIP
Farmers have been left in "a
state of confusion and uncer-
tainty" about their 1914 crop
plans, Senator Wherry (R-Neb)
said today, because food subsidy
legislation as been shelved
while Congress wrangles over
the Soldier Vote bill.
Wherry joined Senators Ball
(R-Minn) and Danaher (R-
Comm in charging that Demo-
cratic Senate leaders had DELHI
erately called up the vote bill
first in order to limit debate on
the subsidy question. The lat
ter must be decided by Feb. II
since the life of the Commodity
Credit Corporation (CCC) -
chief subsidy paying agency
expires then.
Farmers don't know where
they stand" said Wherry. I'm
til the CCC is extended, they
can't be certain that the govern
ment is going to keep on paying
floor prices on certain crops, or
whether subsidies are going to
be continued to hold retail pric-
es down on others"
AS the fight over the service
vote measure continued, there
were growing indications that
tie Senate would not be able to
begin consideration of subsidies
before next week. That would
leave only 10 days for the Sen
ate to act and the House to con-
cur on the CCC Extension bill
and its anti-subsidy rider.
Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo)
countered Wherry's assertion by
pointing out that the CCC last
week announced its 1914 pro-
gram of support prices for var
ious crops. subject to Congress
sional action continuing the
CCC.
O'Mahoney said they would
have been made public earlier,
except that Fred M. Vinson,
economic sterilization director,
decided such step might be
"misinterpreted' by Congress as
an attempt by the adminlstra-
ton to force Congressional APP
proval of the price support and
subsidy program.
The House in November pass
cd a CCC extension bill which
vvould permit the continuance
of price support or incentive
payments to farmers but ban
subsidies designed to hold the
line on consumer prices. A SINH
lar bill has been recommended
by the Senate Banking Commit

Recently returned from an
absence of more than a year,
Boehnke has seen action in
many parts Of the world as a
member Of the crew aboard a
salvage ship. He joined the
Navy in 1886 and spent some
time aboard the Yorktown. In
1912 he spent about 10 months
in Newfoundland and on sal
wage duty in the North Atlantic.
Although the tasks performed
by the salvage ships are little
known, il is the work of the

that make possible the landing

Cement floors are being laid, a power plant set up, and while 1t was necessary to dig some 300 feet to find water, there is Q plentiful supply.

 Stories from the front aroused a determination in Ike to get Over- seas withe tank boys. He sent persistent appeals to Washington and at last they were to be re- warded. Ike was going to France. He was with his new tank unit aboard the transport ready to sail on Nov. ll-when the news came. World War I had come to it's sudden end. The Germans. fac- ing defeat. had run up the white flag with the cry of "Kamerad' rather than continuing the war on German soil The bugles sounded ''cease firing" at II o'clock on the morning of Nov. II. 1918. when an armistice was declared.
 The ships captain knew of young EisenhowerG eagerness to get into action. He also knew of his explosive nature if and when his plans were thwarted. Ap- preaching him guardedly. he re. marked:
 Sorry. Colonel. sailing orders canceled-it's all over over there!"
 Ike's reply Is said to have been "classic," His command of vOcabu- lary went into immediate action: he fought a battle of words on tine deck of that ship with bomhard- ments that might have sunk it, When the smoke from the burning declamatiOns cleared away, he sat down,
 Lieutenant Colonel Eisenhower, ready to sail with his tank unit, was silent. As a soldier he must take orders. But his friends state that he believed 1t was a grievous mistake not to force the Germans to fight 1t out to a decisive battle on German soil. He had dreamed of roaring with his tanks on to Berlin. He believed the Germans would interpret the armistice as a tactical victory, saving them from disaster. and begin prepa- Fatinns for another war tn years 70 come,
